CHARLIE KIRK: FACT AND FICTION

        The events of this past week, probably more than any other previous to it, should have convinced even the most hard-core denialists that the 'New Right' is really the Reactionary Left: Bush-Era Neoconservatism re-packaged and re-framed as 'Christian Conservatism' and 'populism.' The shooting of one a Koch-sponsored Reactionary mouthpiece in Utah has been elevated into the same kind of unthinking martyrology that characterized the mass-hysteria surrounding the death of career criminal George Floyd five years ago---down to the same slogans, the same Cancel Culture tactics, and the same blatantly staged events.

       Like the Floyd Case five years, the Corporate Media---encouraged by Government strong-arming and Corporate-directed firings of a few high-profile people as examples---has engaged in the most obsequious grovelling, rewriting the legacy of slain Christian Nationalist edgelord Charlie Kirk to fit the Official Narrative. To read these propaganda pieces, one would get the impression that Kirk was a modest young fellow from a typical American background who turned to political activism by engaging in wholesome debates on high school and college campuses. In reality, Kirk came from an upper-middle class home---his father was the architect who designed Trump Towers---and was introduced to high-profile operatives from a young age. He was a campaign staffer for a Senate candidate in 2010 and began publishing on Steven Bannon's site Breitbart in 2012. Turning Point USA, with considerable funding from Reactionary front-groups and NGOs, was founded the same year. 

     The history of TPUSA has been anything but pro-1st Amendment both in its actions and positions that it stood for. As we pointed out in our previous post, WH operative Stephen Miller and Vice-President J.D. Vance publicly admitted that they were working with Kirk to identify and stamp out opponents of the Government. TPUSA maintains watch-lists of individuals deemed their enemies which have led to violence, such as the Florida State shooting which happened only a few weeks before Kirk's own demise in Utah. Kirk also routinely called for the suppression of pro-Palestinian demonstrators as well. As for Kirk's own supposed modest and mild-mannered debating style, the readers can judge on't for themselves. 

     The Corporate Media is also doing its best to scrub any connections between Kirk and Christian Nationalists and their Alpha flying monkeys in the Alt-Right. In 2017, Ivan Throne, a hero to the Red Pills, who posts under the avatar Dark Triad Man, spoke at TPUSA’s Mountain West Regional Conference in Denver; and there are many other such examples. 

      One of the co-founders of TPUSA Faith was Simi Valley Megachurch pastor, Rob McCoy, a proponent of the Seven Mountains Mandate. Kirk himself served on the Board of the Council for National Policy, which was co-founded by Tim LaHaye, a Hollywood figure behind the infamous Left Behind series, and Paul Weyrich, who also co-founded the Deep-State Heritage Foundation. Heritage has been at the forefront of current censorship drives, beginning with their Blueprint Project Esther published in 2024; which outlined the effectiveness of the Strategy of Tension as a way of controlling media outlets under the pretext of fighting 'anti-Semitism.' It should be recalled in this context that Heritage was also the architect of the Scamdemic initiative which became the blueprint for Biden's Build Back Better initiative and Trump's current Stargate Project. While Kirk was giving speeches questioning the Scamdemic, Heritage was recommending "stabilizing the health care system; establishing enhanced testing, reporting, and contact tracing; and continuing to follow CDC mitigation guidelines." Kirk was even touring with Vivek Ramaswamy, who made a fortune in a Soros-backed venture to capitalize on Scamdemic vaccines and mandates.

     TPUSA's history has been filled with unsavory characters like these. Benny Johnson, a serial plagiarist and Christian Nationalist who holds up Andrew Tate as a role model,  is TPUSA's Creative Content Officer (and Johnson has been known to be quite creative). Their National Field Officer Director, Crystal Clanton, stepped down after her texts were exposed saying, “I hate black people. … End of story.” It's rumored that Ben Shapiro will be taking over for Kirk at TPUSA, which tells us all about we need to know about this organization.

     The question facing Christians and Conservatives today is: Is Charlie Kirk the example of what American Christianity stands for? Too long we've sat on the fence and let these moneyed interests, Christian Nationalist and Supremacist fanatics, and general crooks define what our faith stands for. We need to make a choice. Reactionary politics and faith simply don't mix.
