the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is being used by Magats as a mini-Reichstag fire to rally Magats and allow Krasnov to gut more of our rights, to gut our free speech, to make the press fearful to upset dear leader.

The MSM is being taken over by Magats, mark my words, soon CNN will be controlled by a Magat oligarch who is pals with Elon Musk.

Last night I watched Chris Hayes shut down a guest who made the claim that the Mossad was involved with Epstein. Had Hayes not done so he would have been fired, IMO. No one has proven that the Mossad was involved with Epstein but there are plenty of red flags to investigate it.

This is why I get my news from freespeechtv.org, because they still speak freely there.

There's a good circumstantial case for Epstein having some connection to Israeli intelligence, at least through Ghislaine Maxwell's father, who worked with them. Not sure why that is so controversial.

will be forbidden and punished.

AIPAC would go after anyone who goes against Bibi. Just a wild supposition that can still be said here, what if Bibi, what if Putin, have copies of the Epstein files and are blackmailing Krasnov with it? Someone funded Epstein.

I haven't looked in a while but the shareholders for CNN and MSNBC are the same people - BlackRock, Vanguard.

REALLY should not be high on the list right now for most of us. (Exceptions for people with families there, of course.)

It is horrible what is happening there, but it won't help ANYONE in the Middle East for the reich-wing to continue to consolidate power in the United States. Okay, possibly "anyone but the richest f*ckers profiting off suffering" - but the profiteering from suffering isn't contained to the ME.

like 9/11, which had an official script that the media couldn't deviate from.

It is the basis for draconian revenge, restrictive laws and punishment of the American people.

I find it strange that traditional enemies of the USA have been quiet since krasnov took office again. Seems to me that adversaries would have been yakking it up about launching some sort of attack, and perhaps they have, but how TF would we know? Going on past precedent, I’d guess it’s not a top priority for anyone in rumpco.

to catapult the propaganda. When 911 happened, gw and cheney jumped right on that shit and lied us into a war with Iraq. PNAC had mentioned that something like "another pearl harbor" would have to happen to accomplish american hegemony over the world. kirk is this cabal's 911.

shows how feckless and determined they are to achieve their authoritarian ends.

it's all about how they can USE it. kirk is nobody in the grand scheme of things and the way they have jumped all over it is so totally disproportionate to the actual fact of the matter is very telling. The clear difference is that 911 was a true national tragedy. they've been working overtime to convince the base that kirk's murder is just as bad.

heard of him, a remarkable level of name I.D. for any political figure. However, most college students were not fans. A combined 70% of students said they either “strongly disagree” or “somewhat disagree” with Kirk’s views. Only 30% said they agreed.

It's thoroughly as disgusting as Kirk was himself.
