Charlie Kurt was assassinated 2 days ago. Shot by a sniper during a free speech event at a school in Utah. Today they arrested the man they said pulled the trigger.
It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to be angry.
The media was quick to comment in the ways they usually do, blaming political parties not because they believe it but because it bolsters their narrative for future voting. Vile comments from MSNBC and CNN followed by shallow apologies the next day while we were asleep.
The predictable race for ‘why’ got dusted off for ratings. Is it guns? Mental health? Political views? Politicians are predictably and acutely focused on using the moment to advance their favorite agenda.
Because the Charlie was a conservative there have not been and will not be riots in the streets or revenge murders because it’s contrary to what defines conservatives. The domain of violence remains a unique tool of the left.
The authorities continue their trend of being LESS transparent with every such event. They just held a press conference where they all lined up to pat each other on the back for being such a great team and working so hard. They announced his name sprinkled with a handful of immaterial facts. The media is complicit as the few questions they ask are lacking utility. The lack of transparency and obtuse behavior of the authorities feeds conspiracy theories. Charlie Kirk at age 31 had huge political influence. It would not be the first time the CIA conducted operations to eliminate someone they see as a threat. The type of evidence and the way in which it’s been shared raises more questions than it answers. It’s as if they are acting out a movie script. It’s a psyop. Its too easy and there are too many anomalies.
Sadly, next week the world will move on and Charlie will be forgotten. It’s simply who we have become. People are literally hooked on a steady endorphin flow from the media and content curated to provide as much as possible 24/7.
Nobody is or will talk about the true root cause of the increase in violence, both the numbers and level of violence. There are 2 factors to address for our civilization.
- The justice system has been deeply politicized. Even the most simple minded person can see we have a 2 tier justice system. The elite and powerful are protected from judgement while the common citizen lives in fear of the authorities. We live in fear. How fucking sad is that in a country that claims to cherish freedom more than any other. Some say it’s always been this way and then shrug off the issue but my claim is it has become worse and if we want it to change we must do something to make it change.
- People don’t care about other people. The government has replaced faith based values with government regulation. In a faith based culture we people take care of each other. When government replaces God, the government takes care of you. This creates a deadly dependency on the government and cedes self determination to other people who claim to have authority over our agency and individual liberty. They are deliberately attacking God to reduce the influence of faith and self determination.
The media serves as fuel to amplify and accelerate these core factors. Importantly, the media is deeply biased and pushes people to deeper and deeper extremes. An impressional young person who doesn’t care about other people is easily pushed to extreme positions by the media. If you believe someone is Hitler then you rationalize murder is an acceptable answer.
This is who we have become. Intellectually, morally, psychologically, and emotionally corrupt. Even the best among us who are glued to their iPhones all day have drifted from God, friends, and situational awareness. They are numb versions of their prior self.
The most palpable recent illustration of these factors 1, 2, and the role of the media comes from the Epstein story. Pedophile in chief to the rich and famous is killed in his jail cell and even Trump asserts “nothing to see here”. What? Are you joking? What about the hundreds of victims? Surely we care enough to punish pedophiles? Nope. Surely all pedophiles are treated equally under the law? Nope. Surely the media is curious enough to dig into the story and reveal the true story? Nope.
I rest my case. In a world where we don’t care about the victims of pedophilia we are a dead civilization. Pedophilia is ok if you have enough money.
I have a friend who believes we are watching, or part of, a pendulum swinging back and forth. I suppose he means political party majorities but I claim political parties have become moot. Regardless of party politics, the USA, like all civilizations has moved continuously left over the course of time. There have been no offramps or U-turns in our political direction. What? Even Trump? Yes. Trump’s biggest accomplishment has been to enforce current immigration law. Thats it. Period. Ok, he has moved money around a little to pacify the masses but nothing profound. He has become just another politician.
