And I won't be surprised if the public are never even told who he was. Or at least, not honestly.

How else will THEY be able to keep insinuating that it was someone from the LEFT who did it?? lol

imagine, the anti-gun, anti-violence side being accused of this. In the most non-minority locations in the whole country.

This shooter, WILL NEVER BE FOUND, because that is what they need to keep the EPSTEIN FILES buried.
These people are the sickest fucks.

They let you grab them by their parts. That kind of over the top macho macho man talk got him elected. The whole Epstein thing is only about protecting the .005%ers that are in it.

Create division, chaos, disruption promoting US Civil War.

Why would Putin kill him?

Of course if you work for Putin, he doesn't need an excuse to kill you.

Also, a false flag killer gets the MAGAs up in arms. Creating a martyr to the cause is an old Russian/Chinese strategy.

Regardless, Kirk already served his purpose by helping Trump get elected in 2016 and again in 2024. He became expendable to Putin"s plans. Also, Kirk's foray into Asia was muddying the waters for the Putin-Xi-Un axis. It was time to get that amateur out of the way.

Just my fanciful CT.

Kirk had outlived his usefulness to the PutinTrump regime.
He moved into dangerous territory with the Epstein and Asia issues.

Also serves as a message to other Putin MAGA assets.
Don't stray off the reservation or it is curtains for you.

Kirk was straying out of his lane by advocating a softer view toward Gaza. He was getting to be all over the map, figuratively and literally. He was defying orders which had been issued to him.

Have you heard Marge Taylor Green recently?
She is also all over the map.
Actually talking like a reasonable human being about the Epstein files and victims.

In Moscow when Putin's people get wobbly it is time for a purge.

MTG presented herself well. I hope she is sincere and that she is not putting on a dog and pony show. For now, I will give her the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t trust Marge and her drug addled brain any further than I can throw her.

I know she has an angle.
I Just don’t know what it is yet.

But that would not make her a good person.
Just a sober one.

It's not like Marge to be logical and follow good advice.
So something is still off about her.

Infowars/Alex Jones's show
Harrison Smith posted about a month ago that Charlie Kirk was afraid that Israel would kill him if he criticized them, and doubled down on that post today. Kirk was pushing for the release of the Epstein files. Netanyahu is tied to Epstein.

An easily replaceable influencer, and starting to age out of the target audience - young, middle classes/better off aimless or spoiled college kids - he was equipped to go after.

His rhetoric didn't really hold up once his audience started having to leave their bubbles and experience the Real World. Raising real kids, paying bills, dealing with customer or employer demographics has a way of teaching flexibility that doesn't jibe with absolutist, autocratic philosophies.

Kirk was becoming expendable. So he could be easy to throw away, there's always some other young conservative that could replace him.

Sometimes you do get what you are looking for?

Though some are talking him up too much, like he deserves consideration for St.
Meanwhile thought he was auditioning to be the next Rush or something?

25. 200 yards is a pretty incredible shot
Thu Sep 11, 2025, 08:43 AM
Sep 11

People watch a lot of movies and think that's not that impressive when you've got movies talking about 1000 yard shots on the regular. But 200 yards is an impressive shot for a near head shot. Deer hunters will talk about making 100 yard shots all the time, but they're usually from a tree stand and more like 50 yards.

The thing about 200 yards is you're far enough away that no one is going to think to look, mostly people heard a shot and are looking in their general vicinity, but 200 yards is a few blocks away. The coming investigation will reveal how skilled this shooter was or wasn't. Did they disassemble their gun and change clothes on the way out of the building they were on? Did they scout cameras before hand? What was their escape plan? Could be some amateur who just hit a lucky shot in lucky conditions, but I would lean towards someone with sniper training.
