Not about whether he was shot and killed but "the powers" behind it and what their agenda was.

5. My understanding is that he was shot by a follower

of Nic funtes, the ck shooter didn't consider ck maga enough, and was clearing the way for funtes. Whether is was at fuentes request or inspired by his rhetoric, there's plenty of speculation there going both directions there.

When it blows back on them, that's karma, I guess. But they are responsible for thousands of deaths.

11. Do you have some evidence to share that points beyond the lone wolf?

I certainly think there is a possibility that there was a systematic effort to "clear the field" of elements that might interfere with the hundreds of billions of dollars that the richest in our society are gathering. And where there are such vast sums of money involved, lives become expendable. There aren't many choir boys who become fabulously wealthy.

But being aware of the likelihood of a larger plot is not the same as having evidence of it. Of course, any such conspiracy would try to cover its tracks.

7. Candace Owens has made a mint weaving elaborate CT about the Kirk assassination.

And helped to spark a MAGA civil war in the process, proving that sometimes the Universe works in mysterious ways. In that case there will be a trial and I believe that will take some of the air out of the CT kookery around that incident.

9. That one definitely wasn't staged

Charlie Kirk had lots of enemies on the Right. Fuentes' Groyper Nation was the most prominent, but there were others. One of them finally decided he'd had enough of Charlie's shit and did him in.
