Murdered to manufacture consent for a police state at home and wars abroad.
Vigil for Kirk in Arizona. Image: NPR
Note to all would-be doxxers: I am not celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death. In fact, I am terrified by it. His murder is taking us into a new and darker level of American fascism. Even though we don’t know who did it, it has already led to promised legal attacks on speech the government doesn’t like, and threats of violence by the radical right against anyone they fear.
I now fear I may be deplatformed or demonetized from Medium. I wonder if demonstrating for Palestine might get me shot by some MAGA fanatic shouting, “That’s for Charlie.”

It all feels much like September of 2001, after the World Trade Center attacks. We never learned the truth about that day, and we’ve been living in a nightmare world ever since. The Patriot Act with its wide-ranging surveillance of Americans, and the War on Terror were the government’s response to 9/11. Millions have died. How many will be killed, how many freedoms will we lose in response to Kirk’s death? And who did it?
Legal note: I can’t prove any of this. This was a professional job, and good hit men don’t leave a lot of evidence lying around. All the evidence is circumstantial, but some of it is convincing. I don’t know who killed Kirk, but I know what I don’t believe.
Kirk wasn’t killed by some radical leftist trans activist. Those kinds of people didn’t have the means or the opportunity to fire an accurate shot from 200 yards away on a campus in Utah. Few of them even know how to fire a gun. Yet, the entire American right, whether MAGA, mainstream, or openly fascist, immediately started blaming liberals and promising a civil war.
Our government is working hard to pin the murder on Tyler Robinson, a 22 year old gamer involved in a trans relationship, with no known connection to any political group. He supposedly climbed up on a roof, changed clothes, assembled a sniper rifle, shot Kirk, disassembled the rifle, changed clothes again, climbed down and walked into nearby woods, where he re-assembled the rifle and left it by a tree.
Shortly after doing this, he was supposedly texting his lover about what he had done and was doing, using language I’m told no 22-year-old would use. I predict with a high degree of confidence that we will never hear Robinson’s story. He will commit suicide or be killed like Thomas Crooks, President Trump’s supposed shooter in Pennsylvania, and like Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK’s supposed killer. Or maybe he’ll go crazy like Sirhan Sirhan, blamed for RFK’s assassination, just as we never heard from James Earl Ray, convicted of killing Martin Luther King Jr., or other fall guys named in high-profile assassinations.
If not some deranged queer, who shot Kirk? Maybe Robinson actually did it for some reason, but why? Investigation should start with asking who benefited. Who had motive? And the obvious answer is the American/Israeli deep state. By this, I mean specifically the CIA and Mossad, who work so closely together as to be indistinguishable, and who each assassinate people around the world as a matter of normal operation. Ephraim Kahana wrote in the Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence that CIA/Mossad collaboration began soon after the groups’ formation in the late 1940s and never stopped.
But wait a minute. Wasn’t Kirk a fervent supporter of Israel, the US, and their wars? Why would these governments want him dead? Good question, but a lot of news freely visible on the Web leads me to believe he became more valuable to the war machine dead than alive. Here’s why.
Kirk had started to change his mind about Israel in light of the Gaza horrors. Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil reported that he had been telling friends he was “very afraid” of Israeli retribution for some of his recent actions. He had given platforms to Israel critics Tucker Carlson and Dave Smith at recent events of his Turning Point USA movement. Carlson’s speech at Turning Point alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was working for Mossad, and that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. The audience of thousands of conservative students roared their approval.
According to the Gray Zone, alarmed Israel lobbyists then offered Kirk millions of dollars and free consultations in Israel if he resumed toeing their line, and he refused. This defiant act may have cost him his life.
Israel’s response to Kirk’s murder should raise multiple warning flags. Within 24 hours, Israeli PM Netanyahu had already appeared on Fox News twice and posted four times on social media to blame “Islamists and progressives” for killing Kirk and for slandering Israel. He vigorously denied Israel had anything to do with the murder.
This behavior reminds me so much of President Bush going before Congress on November 10, 2001, to warn America, “Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories,” long before there was a 9/11 truth movement. He said it was settled fact that Muslim terrorists had done 9/11 because they ‘hate us for our freedoms,’ though he gave no credible evidence to support his claim.
In Kirk’s case, the deep state are trying to freeze the pro-Israel Kirk in time. The doubting Kirk is being erased. Young guys will be encouraged to go fight for the IDF, because that’s what Charlie would have wanted.
Other ways this is like 9/11
Like after 9/11, a wide range of measures are being proposed in Congress and by the Trump administration to limit speech about a range of political issues. People can be arrested, fired, deplatformed, threatened, or deported for saying things the government doesn’t like. Most of these measures target the Left and pro-Palestinian activists.
As Australian pundit Caitlin Johnstone put it, “Kirk’s death is already being used to manufacture consent for sweeping acts of tyranny, and it was clear from day one that it would be.”
In neither crime has much credible evidence been adduced against the accused perpetrators, but boatloads of unbelievable or flat-out impossible evidence has been reported. Collapsing skyscrapers, found passports, plane crashes leaving almost no debris, killers disassembling and reassembling rifles on the run to avoid capture, then confessing in detail in texts and Discord posts. It’s all confusing and scary.
Like the 9/11 victims, Kirk’s sanitized memory is being used to cement support for Israeli/American wars, at a time when more and more young people are turning away from them. The post-9/11 war on terror has already killed millions and displaced tens of millions, while justifying a growing police state. Don’t let Kirk’s death ignite another such storm.
