Last week, apparently, saw the coda of the Charlie Kirk Saga. The slain provocateur was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, while Kirk's fellow Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth announced that TPUSA's so-called 'news division' agreed to the Loyalty Oath allowing them to cover Pentagon Press Briefings.
While we realize here that the events of now a month ago is Ancient History to most Americans, does anybody recall the fury that erupted in the wake of the Kirk shooting? Within two hours of Kirk's untimely demise, a pop-up database called Expose Charlie's Murderers began appearing, soliciting donations, ostensibly to set up a website where vengeful Reactionaries (or anyone else with an ulterior motive) could denounce and doxx those who even so much as hinted that Charlie Kirk's passing was no great loss to humanity. The New Right (which totally doesn't believe in Cancel Culture or Political Correctness) was all over the Internet high-fyvving over the people who lost their jobs or who were kicked out schools or social meetings with the sort of sadistic glee that we haven't seen since Obama launched the whole so-called Pride Movement a decade ago.
Well: it seems that since the 23rd of September, the various sites associated with this doxxing campaign have disappeared, along with the crypto-cash raised for the Witch-Hunt.
"Charliesmurderers.com was registered at 6:30 p.m. EST on September 10, less than two hours after President Donald Trump announced the Turning Point USA founder’s death on Truth Social. At 6:15 p.m., Trump posted a video stating his commitment to eradicating left-wing organizations that 'contributed to the atrocity.' At that time, no suspect in Kirk’s killing had been apprehended or identified. By 8 p.m., the ECM website listed nine people who either celebrated Kirk’s death or criticized his positions, with their locations and accompanying screenshots, all taken from social media. But over the next several days, its website was taken down. It relaunched as the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation on September 14, but the domain registrar Epik LLC deplatformed its second website because it was registered using false information and received DDoS attack threats. A third ECM website was also taken down. On September 23, ECM disappeared from the public eye by making its last post on X.
"The group has not responded to several inquiries from Drop Site on where the donations went, and whether they are still planning the database. Some of those who spent money on this prospect are not happy."
I suppose that the over 63,000 people who were denounced to this organization weren't happy either. In the interests of Full Disclosure, though, according to the blog stats, our own little site saw literally about 1000% jump in page-views between September 11th and September 23rd. Personally, this news is somewhat disappointing: it's been a long time since we were the target of a doxxing campaign, and I was looking forward to the challenge.
Aside from the personal angle, however, this latest incident (and the whole Kirk melodrama generally) speaks volumes about just how deep the Cultural Rot in the Postmodern 'Conservative Movement' really is. Cashing-in on a murder, making a national martyr out of a con-man, the rush to judgement, the vicious attacks on perceived enemies, the Media Circuses, the Political Correctness and Cancel Culture: these are all things we'd expect if they came from the so-called New Left. The fact that it comes from those calling themselves Conservatives is why we stress here repeatedly that the New Right are not Conservative at all; but Reactionaries who are no better than the people they criticize.
