Charlie Kirk was a theocrat who thought we should use Leviticus as law. Transwomen are women is dumb, but so is “The Bible is the inerrant word of God” if you care about evidence. Just because he could best woke idiots on obvious things doesn’t mean he had principles. He just wanted to replace one identity wokeness and one standpoint epistemology with another. Obviously didn’t deserve to be murdered but I can’t imagine the MAGA martyrdom cult growing up around Kirk would have comported themselves well if any number of lefty activists or politicians were murdered. Certainly wouldn’t have stopped criticism of them.
More than half our country is Christian and they make it sound like a dirty word. Our country was founded on Christian principles. Our lawyers lined up with Christian morals and ethics, for example, the 10 Commandments. The governor of Utah said it best, there was no violence, stores weren’t loaded instead there were vigils & prayer. I will miss Charlie Kirk. He was killed because he had Christian values, a wonderful family. The liberals are jealous of other people‘s happiness, their love of God and country. Charlie debated with love, respect, in intelligence and kindness. He was a threat to the poisonous ideology that has a stranglehold on our youth. We have to pray for these haters that they might find salvation. BTW, I love your name.
Oh Jesus, just listen to the Christian Nationalists talk. Again, I hope his murderer hangs for this heinous murder, but being not woke, I don’t think victimhood makes people into saints or beyond the pale of criticism. The very thing they want is a theocracy - they want their religion to dictate law and policy. It is the exact same kind of “my views should exempt from evidence because my moral certainties” that we hate about woke people.
A Christian would not kill you or have your life ruined for your views. The truth is Charlie Kirk accomplished so much in his short life. Our campuses are filled with professors that brainwash our students to muzzle Christian conservative thought. Most Democrat, politicians and corporate media use extremely invective language against anyone that disagrees with them. Charlie Kirk always spoke respectfully, intelligently, and with a concerned, heart. The corporate media in this country is so despicable it is impossible for them just to tell the truth. For example, crime in Chicago is going down. And so much more. And George Soros funds all this hate.
It is a grotesque distortion to claim that public reckoning with the macabre assassination of Charlie Kirk is mere propaganda. To sneer that expressions of sympathy are just a manipulative attempt to canonize him is to strip away not only the human cost of violence but also the gravity of political murder. Your stance reduces a profound civic rupture to some petty morality play about “sins,” as though the calculus of history is best served by your ledger of grievances. Yes, I agree that death in the public square is not the same as a private passing; but it demands examination, outrage, and yes, even sympathy, not because the victim is flawless, but because the violence itself is an assault on democratic life. To dismiss this moment as exploitation is to minimize the crime, to sneer at mourning, and to show yourself blind to the difference between honest reflection and false hagiography.
Now is the time the bring corrupt treasonous Israeli American Criminal Deep State neocon Revisionist Zionist synarchist Syndicate to account for its Deep State Crimes against the world’s population including that of America and Israel
More and more people are saying that the Mossad killed Charlie Kirk to send a terrorist message not to dare to speak out against the Israeli-American Deep State and specifically not to speak out about the known fascist Zionist AIPAC lobby’s and the ADl’s criminal state patterns and practices of the using the Mossad and the IDF and their Katsas /assassins and Sayanim (army of character assassins) to wage covert intelligence operations on Americans like Charlie Kirk who was joining an increasing number of conservative Christian Zionist influencers like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones in daring to speak out and criticize Israel’s atrocities and obvious deception psychological operations and ongoing cover-up of its own war crimes and use of Terrorism, assassinations, torture and organize deceptive propaganda against innocent Palestinian women and children and Americans who dare to speak out.
What has become increasingly clear to all of us is that it is Israel that is behind the what Peter Dale Scott and Ola Tunander call deep state crimes that are covered up by the criminal state like the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X and so many more like Gary Webb, Danny Casolaro, Michael Ruppert, Danny Casolaro, Steve Kangas, Paul Wellstone, Robert David Steele and now the millions who have died or lost relatives to COVID pandemic or dared to speak out about the truth that these viruses are caused by the vaccines that were designed to kill. (Over 100 microbiologists who were daring to speak out about vaccine harm died under suspicious circumstances and there is never any honest investigation into the obvious pattern and practice of the investigations being suppressed by a corrupt pattern and practice of lawyers, prosecutors, judges, police, politicians being above the law by the same legal practice used by the Nazis which is they have given themselves absolute or qualified immunity from prosecution just like Hitler’s top Nazi’s did.
clear that Israel
We all need to speak up now at once and demand the U.S. House and Senate and President Trump open a new House Commission on UnAmerican Activities Commission targeting what Jeff Gates described in his book by the name as “Guilt by Association” of the Zionist Globalist Neocon National Security Criminal State that has been waging an evil Globalist Nazi Fascist Invisible war on the world called the Strategy of Tension or Operation GLADIO since Hitler’s Reinhard Gehlen and the evil Alan Dulles and John Foster Dulles and William Sullivan and the Rothschild / Rockefeller/ CFR Power Elites tricked President Truman into signing the National Security Act in 1947 which had a loophole in it that allowed illegal covert operations of CIA, MI6, NATO, the Mossad and ultimately all the Intelligence agencies and National Security of our captured nations to be waged on all the other nations to ultimately bring them under the invisible empire / Fourth Reich they had been planning to bring about through their strategy of tension since they tricked Truman into signing the National Security Act in 1947.
We must end the National Security Act now and prosecute those in the Israel, US, UK, NATO Rogue State cartel who have been knowingly abusing their power under the cover of law to run these integrated intelligence agencies as way to bring about their planned Global Coup d’Etat.
Interestingly, Bolsonaro was just convicted of plotting a coup D’Etat in Brazil today and I would guess that the Deep State Criminal State Intelligence agencies centered in an Israel-American billionaires group called the MAGA group (see @WhitneyWebb’s book, One Nation Under Blackmail) are feeling nervous about the fact that more and more Americans are starting to understand that it is the Jabotinsky / Ben Gavir/ Netanyahu Revisionist Zionist Likud Party Great Reset Globalists that grew out of the terrorist groups known as Irgun and Stern Group that have been waging an invisible dirty war on America with our globally integrated petro-dollar-based BIS snd Federal Reserve Central Banking and Treasury systems and we can prove it through a RICO discovery / auditing of the way that Israel’s global banking and money laundering transactions have flowed through the Systematics banking system (now AllTel and SWIFT and Palantir, PTech, Pegasus and the Internet platform itself that was built off the Inslaw PROMIS software that was misappropriated by the Reagan DOJ and CIA to Israel’s Head of Military Intelligence, Rafi Eitan, and brokered through leading criminal arms traffickers that were exposed in William and Nancy Hamilton’s decades long private citizens’ led prosecution of the US Deep State through the honest Nixon Attorney General, Elliot Richardson, who resigned rather than follow Nixon’s order to fire the Independent Special Prosecutor who had been appointed by a Judge to get the incriminating tapes that proved Nixon was behind the coverup of the Watergate break in to the DNC and associated state crimes against democracy.
All of this is proved in a letter that was sent from the Reagan DoJ Deputy Attorney General, Bradley Reynolds, to William Weld, the Head of the U.S. Justice Department in Massachusetts who was running for President as a Republican.
The letter which is attached below is incontrovertible proof that the Reagan / Bush Republican Justice Department and CIA were trafficking a Trojan Horse backdoor modified version of the PROMIS software through the leading arms and drug traffickers of the 1980’s who were behind the notorious BCCI Irangate/ Iran Contra scandals in the 80’s and who then orchestrated 9/11 through selling the PROMIS software to the KGB who sold it to Osama bin Laden, namely, Mohammed bin Mahfouz, Adnan Khashoggi, Richard Armitage, Ghorbanifar who arranged the corrupt IranContra deal to broker the deal to profit themselves illegally and criminally and treasonously and fraudulently by using the Vietnam war and other proxy wars to traffic heroin out of the Golden Triangle and cocaine out of Central America and South America to Mena Arkansas and the increasingky drug addicted Americans through the corrupt CIA and FBI and criminal justice system and their trained Contras / Mercenary terrorist Nazi Fascist terrorist armies and anti-Communist torture regimes and economic hit men as described by John Perkins in Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
See these documents for immediate proof. We need to demand an honest investigation of Israel’s and America’s criminal state now! Let’s start with demanding an honest investigation of the patsy that assassinated Charlie Kirk now!
The most bitter irony about CharIie Klrk is that he was likely nothing but a grifting click-bait diva who probably didn't even believe most of the evil crap that he was constantly spouting. Trump is very similar. These people are not real, they are reality TV stars.
CharIie Klrk was guilty of the United Nations established crime of Incitement To Genoclde, and if the one who shot him did so from that understanding, there is a legal basis from which he can justify his action.
Going after CharIie Klrk for inciting the genoclde on the PaIestinians is no different *at all* to going after British Nazl radio broadcaster William "Lord Haw-Haw" Joyce for inciting the genoclde on the Jews.
Joyce was eventually executed for that crime.
Just as Yemen freedom fighters are legally justified to use armed force against lsraeI in order to stop genocide, others are legally justified as well, and that includes using armed force to stop Incitement to Genoclde.
What's your opinion in that regard of our two hosts? Actually, I am interested in only one of them. How would you appraise his conduct vis-à-vis that law?
Epstein apologist and now Charlie Kirk detractor. Your recent journalism seems to consist of nitpicking and narcissistic contrarianism. I get that you're supposedly a "lifelong Democrat" but I used to think you had an interesting perspective. However, it now appears that your political ideology has made you completely blind to the cultural significance of both Epstein and Charlie Kirk's assassination and therefore not really worth paying much, if any, attention to.
The issue is that a lot of the "evidence" is from people who have lied.
Cultural significance is set by those who control the culture. We have no clue why he was killed and the more you and others speculate, the deeper the hole you dig into paranoia: making connections that have no solid facts to back them up.
My objection to Tracy’s Epstein take was that he constantly minimized the perverse behavior of a convicted pedophile. He was convicted, after all. I’m agnostic about Epstein, I just don’t understand Tracy’s insistence on carrying water for him, so to speak.
given that yesterday was the 24th anniversary of the false flag - I advocate the movement coming together around the things that can be KNOWN, we now have huge splits in the movement, and its detrimental to getting things done. BUMMER!
I was on X when the news about Charlie Kirk suddenly shocked the world. Right away I thought ANTIFA was involved because I knew that Charlie was probably their most hated target due to his influence on young people and school events. ANTIFA for those who do not know, is or has been supported by Democrat aligned oligarchs who some proof has shown were or are actually controlling ANTIFA through organizers and thought leaders. Charlie Kirk was seen by Democrat oligarchs as a problem and that is why my first thought was ANTIFA.
But I noticed that on X a lot of the leftish or populist anti-Israel influencers were convinced that Israel was to blame. That made me re-evaluate the intellectual heft of those people since: 1) For arguments sake if Israel was behind it then why would they do where getting caught was highly likely? 2) Wouldn't they have access to professional types who could do it without people even knowing it was a hit, i.e., stage an accident or something similar? 3) If they wanted to send a message to other influencers to not turn against them, wouldn't it be insane to take a chance to do it such a public way, and to a person that is so beloved among the Christian community?
So right away I was kinda shocked by those anti-Israel influencers who showed themselves to be less real-world based and more determined to be propagandists to the point of idiocy then I had believed previously. Clearly it was not a professional hit, and most likely by a long shot it would turn out to be a deranged leftist because nothing else made a any sense whatsoever--except for a possible Islamist attack which I didn't think would be done like that since they are known for taking pride in making themselves known, and for targeting as many people as they can. So I couldn't see how or why any other possibility was being taken seriously, but it was.
When I heard their theories about Charlie supposedly not being allowed on Fox and turning against Israel, I was like whaa? I seem to remember last month he announced he was hosting Fox and Friends. But the narrative was set. Charlie was turning against Israel and this was a message to all you influencers and wannabes---capeesh! Lolcows were outing themselves faster than ever in their determination to make this all about Israel. I mistakenly thought those people had a better grip on reality then they do, or maybe they know their audience and have decided to milk the moment for all it's worth. I saw this coming a while ago:
"If America and everyone is so racist, terrible, and evil — as the ideologues, politicians, journalists, podcasters, teachers, and celebrities say it is — then it is perfectly alright to treat society with a total disrespect and disregard for any and all past social norms...A young generation is being inspired to hate and anger towards society as a whole, thereby seeing it as their right to steal, rob, attack, and even kill — because America is so terribly racist and evil. They are being indoctrinated into seeing other people and American society in general as deserving no respect and no mercy — because they have become convinced by day in and day out propaganda, funded by corporate money, that America and its people do not deserve any respect because they are all racist and evil. That worldview is reinforced constantly by politicians, journalists, celebrities, teachers, corporations, and ideologues...The attempt to corral the traditional left, to defang it, to transform it, has led to the newer and much more serious and dangerous problems of a massive increase of violence and crime — in the very minority communities they supposedly support. They have betrayed them by their scheming to use them to fulfill their own corporate and political agenda to destroy the left."

Michael, the thing is Charlie was an artist. And a genius artist at that. His art happens to be Art of the Possible. You wouldn't understand it.
I see how someone like you gets offended when Charlie is celebrated as a truthteller, since truth telling is your highest value. Charlie, on the other hand, balanced truth with other values he held dear. It's understandable that to someone like you, complimenting a figure such as Charlie Kirk for his truthfulness amounts to an egregious case of stolen valor, the injustice of which cries to heaven.
If Charlie indeed gets a state funeral, you have every right to throw yourselves at the casket to protest the injury inflicted upon you.
When a political figure is assassinated, it is the patriotic thing to do to withhold negative comments in the immediate aftermath, not because you agree or disagree with his politics, but because the murder was an attack on the free speech of all of us.
I don't know where this "do not speak ill of the dead" came from. It's probably some Irish myth. The reality is that public personas are going to be discussed and for political activists like Kirk, it's going to be related to his politics and what he's said. It appears that the assassin simply didn't like him or what he had to say and decided to do something about it. It's as old as Cain and Abel.
Isn’t sacred victimhood and the idea that victimhood makes your ideas better something the Right allegedly opposes? But of course they don’t because their whole religion is based on the idea of sacred victimhood and is as much a resentment politics as anything cooked up in woke academia.
Your willingness to piss off just about anyone and everyone in order to speak your mind is why im a member.
I'm exactly the same way.
"People are predictably enraged ..."
Well, was that not the objective? If so, mission achieved. And, why complain about it?
Enraging people is easy. Making points worth listening to, is not.
What were Charlie Kirk's sins? That Michael Tracey didn't agree with him?
Missing the mark this badly and then doubling down is puerile. If this is the best that "journalists" have to offer, then journalism is dead.

Certainly wouldn’t have stopped criticism of them.
A few things:
1. Your reply has nothing to do with my comment.
2. Kirk never advocated for using "Leviticus as law" to my knowledge and I will challenge you to produce any evidence to the contrary.
More than half our country is Christian and they make it sound like a dirty word. Our country was founded on Christian principles.

The legal case: Klrk's Incitement to Genoclde
CharIie Klrk was guilty of the United Nations established crime of Incitement To Genoclde, and if the one who shot him did so from that understanding, there is a legal basis from which he can justify his action.
