The Dark Beginning of America’s Next Chapter
460: Charlie Kirk, 9/11, and the state of American Society
Morning.
Not a good morning because it has certainly not been a good week in the United States and to cap it off we have the 24th anniversary of 9/11 today. One of the worst days in the history of this country.
Yesterday, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed today during an event at Utah Valley University. The attack happened in the middle of his “American Comeback Tour,” when a bullet struck him in the neck from a nearby building as he was speaking to students. He collapsed at the scene and later died in the hospital.
Authorities have labeled it an apparent political assassination. A person of interest was questioned but later released, and as of now no suspect is in custody.
But you know what’s unsettling and perhaps the biggest red flag of all?
People showed their true colors across the internet by supporting, mocking, and celebrating what should be one of the darkest days in the US and a bold attack on free speech.
As Chad Crowley said on X:
The laughter, the cheers, the ghoulish delight in murder reveal something darker than politics. They expose a spirit that exults in cruelty, that rejoices in the suffering of wives and children, that finds triumph not in creation but in destruction. The line has not only been crossed, it has been erased.
Today’s post is a serious one.
We’ve entered a new realm in the war being waged in the US, and make no mistake it is in fact a war, even if you don’t want it to be.
It’s idealogical, spiritual, and increasingly physical in nature now.
We’ve fully entered the kinetic phase.
Over the last 2 years or so I have drawn criticism for saying that the top threat to the United States (and Western nations) outside of unchecked immigration and crime, is the rise of the militant left, which first reared its head in 2020 during the BLM/Antifa riots across the United States.
Hopefully with yesterday’s events fresh on people’s mind they will begin to realize what I have been saying is in fact the truth.
This is a grave grave threat to our nation.
Earlier this year I put out a post that even those on the right likely discounted given the news cycle was quiet at the time.
In that post, America’s Powder Keg: The Militant Left, we discussed the rise in violence from the far left in the United States which we’ve seen repeatedly with the two assassination attempts on President Trump, the murder of the UNH CEO, countless mass shootings by extreme Trans individuals, and now the killing of Charlie Kirk in broad daylight. At the time the far left was bombing Tesla facilities, threatening Tesla owners, and molotov-ing ICE facilities.
The modern militant left isn’t simply protesting, shadowbanning, or brainwashing anymore. It’s actively plotting and attempting to excuse progressive violence.
These are of course just the latest examples.
Social media and the internet exploded with commentary related to Charlie’s assassination. Many people were rightfully outraged and shocked, but what was perhaps more jarring than the killing itself, was the hordes of extremists who were celebrating, encouraging, and mocking the death of Kirk. NYC comedian Rahul Pandya mocked Kirk during his show last night. “Isn’t it just so refreshing to finally see an assassination pulled off successfully this time.”
It was and is disgusting. Many showed their cards as literal demons and soulless ghouls, relishing in the pain and agony the country is feeling and that a man’s family is now feeling in his absence and gruesome death.
They ACTUALLY Think they’re the good guys when a moderate political debater is murdered in broad daylight.
Can you f*cking imagine?
Things have reached a boiling point to put it lightly, there is no going back from this, and many people expressed having the same feeling as they did on 9/11.
Discussion in large part is over now. There is no common ground to be had with those who celebrate this. I for one, have no interest in trying to debate, speak with, or be around the people who were okay with this happening to Kirk or worse — cheering it on.
There is no unity to be had between these lunatics and common decent people who are still in shock by the wanton violence that plagued the US this week.
Today we’re going to cover everything we know so far, what you can do moving forward to navigate this insane political reality, and we’re going to discuss why there’s likely no going back now.
We’ve entered a new paradigm defined by those who realize there are some among us who feel it it entirely justified and good to use violence as a political tool.
