Countervailing Power

The Strange Handling of The Charlie Kirk Assassination

Updated: Sep 26

Before Charlie Kirk was pronounced dead Trump and several Republicans holding office made claims about who was responsible for the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Congresswoman Mace was quoted as saying, "Democrats own what happened today."


She made a statement about the media saying she was the most trans-phobe member of congress, and it turns out there were, "trans-phobe, antifascist things that were engraved on the ammunition and the rifle."


Trump came out and blamed the, "radical leftists," for the murder and they still had no idea who the shooter was.


Well, it turns out there was no trans-phobe messages on the ammo. It was actually the manufactures label that was stamped into it, TRN.


But they read this, and ran with it. Blaming the killing on the left before the investigation was complete, before they even knew who the shooter was.


Then, the bombshell!


The shooter was Tyler Robinson, a young twenty something, white male. He's native Utahan, from a Mormon family, who's a supporter of Donald Trump. In fact, Tyler dressed up as Trump during the previous Halloween.


The words etched into the shells of the ammo, were more like the words of farther to the right than Charlie Kirk hater, Nick Fuentes' Groyper army. Apparently they've been showing up to Kirk's events heckling him, interrupting him, and hating him for not being extreme enough.


But this is just the surface of the way the FBI and the government, under Donald Trump has failed America. Charlie Kirk never should have been murdered. Donald Trump's government likely got Kirk killed due to negligence, a lack of experience, and flat out stupidity.


It turns out Tyler Robinson had been online for days, maybe weeks before he killed Charlie talking about how he was going to do it, and that the opportunity came up and he was going to take it. Normally, this kind of thing would have been flagged, investigated, and prevented.


So where was our counter terrorism defense team? Why wasn't the agency who's job it is to monitor, investigate, and stop cyber terrorism from turning into real life terrorism able to find a guy who was blatantly talking about his plans online?


Because Trump appointed a 22 year old who's first job was a waiter, or a hotel clerk or something along there. So how did a kid who just barely graduated become the head of a government agency of 80 agents tasked at counter-terrorism? He volunteered to help with Trump's campaign.


As soon as he took the position, he abruptly fired nearly every agent in the office. They went from a team of 80 to a team of 20. Since then, according to Propublica, In the past seven weeks, at least five high-profile targeted attacks have unfolded across the U.S., including a car bombing in California and the gunning down of two Israeli Embassy aides in Washington. Against this backdrop, current and former national security officials say, the Trump administration’s decision to shift counter-terrorism resources to immigration and leave the violence-prevention portfolio to inexperienced appointees is “reckless.”


This is only going to get worse. This appointee has zero experience in a government, security, defense, and especially counter terrorism role. He's never been in the army or any military. This position should have went to a high ranking general, or high ranking CIA operative. But not in Trump's America.


Imagine, just imagine for a minute what this means for our country. If someone can brag online about how they plan to murder someone like Charlie Kirk, and we no longer have the team to be able to intercept, monitor, and catch foreign or domestic terrorism, what could a foreign country do to us we don't know?


Trump bombed Iran. Think about that for a minute. If we have sleeper cells in the country, or terrorists who want to pay us back for bombing them, what would stop them from dressing up like ICE, covering their faces, and walking into a stadium, or a massive building and setting off a bomb?


They would probably even get away with it. Because Trump has now made it a FELONY to touch an ICE officer. But how do we know they are actually ICE? Do you see any officers showing papers on these kidnappings? Do you see them caring what we have to say about anything?


A terrorist could walk right past people yelling at them, wearing outfits bought from Amazon, and no one would stop them. This is the America Trump has created. You might feel safe right now, but do you think Trump isn't pissing the world off? Do you think the Tariffs, the

bombing of random boats in the ocean because he wants to, and bombing Iran will not have consequences?


Iran is not Iraq. It is not Afghanistan, who by they way Trump just threatened with war. They are a major power. It might not be today, or even in 2 years, but this will have a price for us to pay.
