A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in cryptothen vanished, infuriating donors.
The site, Expose Charlies Murderers, launched hours after the assassination of the right-wing influencer, 31, in September. It promised a searchable trove of names and workplaces for the largest firing operation in history, according to Drop Sites review of the now-offline project.
The site listed six crypto wallets and raised more than $30,000 between Sept. 12 and 14 before repeatedly going dark, resurfacing as the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation, and disappearing again, Drop Site reported.
The group styled itself Anon Palantir and posted 41 entriesscreenshots of posts by people who mocked or criticized Kirkbefore the effort cratered.

(23,725 posts)Don't get me wrong...Trump's racism runs DEEP. But he wasn't making a statement with the nonsense about Obama's birth certificate. He just wanted to see how many people would believe him, and if those people surfaced in significant numbers, he'd "get into politics." And he unearthed the motherlode of angry, racist, gullible rubes, ripe for the picking. Trump HAS no "ideaology." He's just a predator, constantly on the prowl for prey.

Evolutionary trends have historically been the end of many species. That would MAGA. Or Greater than ever.
