Who Killed Charlie Kirk? Follow the Epstein Trail.


Listen Later

Charlie Kirk is dead—taken out by an extremely skilled sniper in deep-red Utah. The MAGA Nazi built an empire scapegoating Black people, trans folks, and women, and cheered on Trump's authoritarian destruction. Get ready for the martyrdom of this incel king and the coming retribution against democracy defenders.

Let's look at what really happened.

Back in July, Kirk had demanded transparency from the Trump White House over Trump's longtime friend: the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who ran the real life QAnon–we play Kirk's own words at the end of this episode. Instead, Trump turned the FBI and DOJ into personal security forces, relying on them and Mike Johnson in Congress to continue his Epstein cover-up.

Now Kirk's dead. And the shooter? Nowhere to be found. The killer obviously blended in with the predominantly white and male crowd. Was he a professional sniper? Was this a Russian op, or another case of terrorism by an active duty soldier?

Kirk's death looks less like a random act and more like a message: Shut up about Epstein.

And it's working. Trump is already using Kirk's murder to stir up his base, threatening political opponents, and fueling his full-blown authoritarian crusade. But don't be fooled—this isn't about "leftist violence." The data is clear: political violence in America overwhelmingly comes from the far right.

Refuse to be silenced. Demand the full Epstein files. Demand justice for the victims. Because the real danger to MAGA isn't those who enjoy what's left of their Constitutionally protected rights—it's the MAGA base waking up to the truth: Trump is at the center of the Epstein cover-up, because he, like Epstein, is a pedophile.

Release the Epstein files.

Show Notes:

First-of-its-kind Look at Left, Right, and Islamist Extremists Explores Similarities, Differences. According to the University of Maryland's Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice: Far-right extremist violence is significantly worse than far-left violence – there's no comparison. The data shows that American society should take right-wing violence far more seriously, like it takes Islamist extremism. Anyone both-sidesing political violence in America is gaslighting you. https://ccjs.umd.edu/feature/umd-led-study-shows-disparities-violence-among-extremist-groups
