It’s a strange thing. I was writing today about the tests of brutality we endure in the western world in modern times, trying to explain why things cannot continue the way they have been for much longer, when the news hit the feeds on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I forced myself to watch the video footage, just as I forced myself to watch the recent murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a black man on a train who then bragged about how he “Got that white girl”.
I witnessed leftist journalists try to hide the event and bury the story until it blew up on social media and they had no choice but to cover it. And when they did, they complained more about online treatment of the killer than they complained about the murder itself.
I have watched thousands of leftists across the web cheer for the death of that innocent girl. I have watched hundreds-of-thousands of them cheer for trans mass shooters after they killed Christian kids, just as they now cheer for the death of Charlie Kirk.
They can barely contain their glee. They blame Kirk and his beliefs as the catalyst; as if he is being punished for a crime. They say “people are fed up with right wing violence”, but where is this violence? It doesn’t exist. The claim is gaslighting on an epic level. The only violence we have seen for the past decade has been from the political left. Normally this behavior would be called terrorism.
Riots in the streets, innocent people assaulted, Christian events attacked, multiple assassination attempts and a slew of mass shootings, all from politically motivated leftists. And the only thing they can come up with is January 6th, a short lived riot which was CAUSED by Capitol Police shooting peaceful protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas.
What was Charlie Kirk’s real crime? He committed the most egregious sin there is when it comes to the political left – He told the truth without shame. For this, he was murdered.
I didn’t necessarily agree with Kirk on every issue. In particular, I think he put far too much stock in the idea that public debate would make a difference. I think it has diminishing returns. Progressives only seem to get worse with each argument they lose. They only become more unhinged, more violent. Trying to reason with such zealots is a waste of energy, but at least it gets the message out to the normies, if there are any normies left.
The reliance on public debate is part of a deeper problem within conservative and populist movements; we tend to cling to the notion that we are fighting a political battle and that this battle can be won by being the most factual, the most reasonable, the most right.
As I have always said: Leftists do not care about being right. They only care about winning.
We have been engaging in civics while the woke cult engages in sabotage, mob violence, child grooming and assassination. Conservatives are naturally reticent to abandon order or abandon the law. The political left knows this – they count on it. They know we are limited in how we fight back because we have an expectation that the system can be corrected and reformed.
The problem is that the system is infected. It’s infested by parasites. In order for social discourse to achieve anything constructive, both sides have to be patriotic. Both sides have to love their culture and country to a certain degree and want the best for the future. Leftists and globalists HATE the west. They hate the US. They want to turn it to dust. They want the memory of it erased from history. There is no level of reason or diplomacy that can dissolve their bitter psychopathy.
In other words, McCarthy was right. The left needs to go.
This is not to say that conscience and respect for order is a weakness. If we didn’t have these things then we would be no better than the progressives. My point, however, is that we need to come to grips with the reality that total war has been declared against the west and we must start acting like we are at war if our civilization is going to survive.
This is where I part ways with many of my Libertarian colleagues. This problem is not about American citizens in disagreement. This is not about the old days of polite political dysfunction. Again, this is a war, a shooting war and a mind war. I’m not interested in the constitutional rights of people who have declared war on me, my country and the very freedoms they hide behind.
If they want to burn the west to the ground to usher in their own dystopian collectivist vision, then the only logical response is to burn THEM to the ground.
For the past few years I have warned about the events that are now unfolding. In my article “Terror Attacks Kick Off In 2025 – It’s Only Going To Get Worse So Be Prepared”, published in January, I argued that:
“…There is a serious risk of civil destabilization in 2025 caused by a steady series of terror attacks. Some of them might be planned by legitimate suspects while others could be fabricated by covert interests in order to stir up public fear. I would also warn specifically about far-left groups reverting to Weather Underground-like tactics in order to disrupt conservative reforms…”
“After witnessing the “fiery but peaceful” activities of groups like Antifa and BLM during the 2020 riots I don’t find it hard to believe that there may also be an activist element in the US right now that’s willing to engage in infrastructure terrorism and political assassination. This is not to say that the leftists themselves are highly organized, but there is evidence that they are managed by calculating people behind the scenes.
In other words, elitist institutions can very easily use far-left actors to carry out terror attacks because leftists only need a “nudge” to go down that path. Just as many Islamic fundamentalists are so easy to nudge into mass violence…”
There are those that theorize that Kirk’s shooting is a “false flag” and that this is about sowing divisions among Americans. News Flash: We are already divided. Even without encouragement we would be divided. Too many liberty minded people make the mistake of thinking our problems stop with the globalists at the top, but they are only one part of this conflict.
The other part is at the bottom of the pyramid – The millions of progressives that want to see the world in flames. Ultimately it doesn’t really matter if Kirk was killed by a “lone nut” or an organized conspiracy, the end result is the same. The lefties are still applauding. They still want you dead. So, they still need to be dealt with.
Before the news of the assassination I was thinking about measured responses – Particularly the subject of “martial law” and whether or not this is a justifiable solution given the circumstances, or a reaction of fear leading to a slippery slope of government authoritarianism.
Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC has been a resounding success so far, but he can’t keep the troops there forever. The root of the disease needs to be addressed, particularly the corrupt Democrat leaders in blue cities who are keeping repeat offenders out of prisons and on the streets.
Frankly, I see martial law as nothing more than a stop gap even with the best of intentions; like giving someone morphine for their Stage 4 cancer. It feels good and takes the pain away for a little while but on the inside the body is still dying. Martial law doesn’t go far enough. The time for measured responses is over.
Consider for a moment, though, what the natural alternative is? What is going to happen next? It’s not hard to predict: It’s going to be open season on leftist activists and the elites who fund them. It’s going to be widespread vigilantism. And, honestly I welcome it. I wish that this was not necessary, but I accept the reality that it is inevitable.
I don’t think leftists understand what is about to happen. I think they have gotten away with their evil for so long they think they are untouchable. In truth, the only reason they continue to exist is because of men like Charlie Kirk who put so much value in traditional and peaceful opposition. Whoever the shooter is, they killed one of the nice guys.
When we witness a defining moment like the assassination of Kirk, I think it’s important to hold these images in our minds, as horrible as they are. Civilized society is quick to move on and absorb the next tragedy without properly dwelling on their rage. We need to be much angrier than we are.
Is vengeance the answer? I would say balance is the answer. Justice is the answer. For now, there is no justice. There is no balance.
What I see is a culture under siege on every level and we are not taking these attacks seriously enough. How much longer can we endure mass invasions from the third world? How much longer can we endure the indoctrination of our children? How much longer can we allow our speakers to be silenced, by censorship or by the bullet? How much longer will our neighborhoods remain safe when career criminals are protected by the system?
People who hate the west and want to see the west harmed should be kicked out. NGOs and corporations that fund these activists need to be shut down and scattered to the winds, by force if necessary. People and groups that actively seek to cripple the west and exploit or kill western citizens need to be eliminated. This is not complicated.
Men of the west must stand and defend themselves. We must defend our principles, our ideals and our people. This means destroying all enemies, foreign and domestic. This means patriots going to war.

I also think that this is a specifically timed distraction intended to hide something egregious.
This, and that young Ukrainian gal. Not to demand any of this is fake, but how prominent she and Charlie have been in the media. If there is one thing that I realized, if a story is all over the media, google trends, facebook, etc, the establishment wants everyone to know about it. Irina news has gone beyond a story of a murder hidden in the media because the media got busted for burying it. It’s become a movement overnight naming the murderer, and the judge that let him go. The glamour shots, etc… It’s a crisis that has not been wasted. In fact, exploited. We can all theorize why but will know in due time. No matter if it’s a false flag or a real event, the goal is to steer public opinion that is favorable to the big picture.
Both Iryna and Kirk are bad PR for the far left in the eyes of the normies. It’s either really bad luck for them and the Democrats, or there might be something even more damaging (Fauci hearings?) that they are trying to cover up.
Yes, when the news makes the dems look bad, there has to be something far worse that would make them look bad.
Thanks for your well thought out and non toxic comments regarding how to deal with the satanic force that is becoming more prevalent by the year. By non toxic, I mean not go on a Tatar style invasion, but certainly defend the Christian forward principles that reinforce and shape morality of this country. I don’t know who Charlie Kirk is (I don’t watch TV) but from what I can gather, his views are very Christian centered. So much so that he had to be killed by the satanic left? The party of “do what thou wilt” until someone opposes them. If this is an outright war on Christianity then it’s the duty of Christians to do what is required to preserve the Christian truth.
That close up video was so gut wrenching I had to take a walk after seeing it. You’re right – time to be “civil” is over. I also think these public forums and other “civil” methods are not working and conservative influencers need to stick with virtual platforms since the left will always resort to unhinged violence like a child lashing out- Alex Jones was talking about that the other day.
I hope this got people angry enough especially the moderates but I’m worried that this will just be another “event” and people will end up just moving on a in a few days or weeks as many people have been desensitized. It’s been one after another this year just as you predicted.
And an update- the shooter may have been a old man “Trans” cosplaying in diapers as a toddler if you look at twitter and not the old man they took into custody initially. Kash just tweeted about it. The death penalty and mental asylums must be brought back actively at this point.
Brandon, what are your thoughts about a bunch of “Conspiracies” related to Israel being involved? Bunch of conspiracy nonsense? Take a look at this interview by him shortly before his death: https://x.com/KAGdrogo/status/1965929694437822748
From what I know, Charlie was kinda Trump and the mainstream conservative’s mouthpiece and echoed support for covering the Epstein files and supported Israel like most conservative political leaders so I think it’s kind of nonsense but the interview by him saying “he’s afraid that Israel will kill him if he steps out of line” is kind of suspicious. What are your thoughts?
I think liberty movement people are quick to search for a complex conspiracy in every event when there’s no evidence to support it. If someone can present evidence of Israeli involvement in Kirk’s death, lets see it. Otherwise, the obvious culprits are the most likely given what we know so far. Look at who is celebrating en masse – It’s the political left.
I could see Ukrainian intelligence being involved.
Sure, literally ANYONE could be involved, but we’ll need evidence before jumping to conclusions.
The 1960’s comes to mind! Buckle up.
Bravo Brandon, Bravo.
— I have been saying the same thing for years. I am considered radical in my thoughts. I understood the left (grouping all the non conservative in the name) was using our laws, our culture, our religion against us. This was being supported by those who will never be affected regardless of who is in charge. Some call them globalists who worship Satan. Whomever they are, they are more powerful than governments. – –
Christianity has been corrupted and modified to meet the requirements of modern people. They are told to turn the other cheek, don’t judge, accept all, hate the sin, not the sinner, … None of these are taken in context to their meaning. They are broadly applied to force you into their compliance.
Our laws are for moral people. For example, man rode through mourners in Boise shouting fuck Charlie Kirk. He was pulled down and as you can imagine, was not treated very nice. His response was, “What happened to freedom of speech!” Using our laws against us. – – The list goes on.
There is but one way this ends. One side has to win. It is human history.
The bible describes these moral degenerates. A reprobate mind does not respond to reason or appeals to truth. It is moral insanity. They’re under Judgment – they have been “given over.”
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:28-32 KJV
9/11/2025
One by one these deviant, barbarians successfully spew their progressive miasma to destroy the will of a moral people. These venal ilk have descended into the 7th level of Hell and openly deploy censorship of the bullet to silence any dissent.
Who among the remaining elocutionists will now risk their mortal life in a public venue after what happened to Charlie Kirk?
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Ann Coulter, Thomas Massie, et al. Shall their voices be still or will they stand and deliver without fear to speak the truth of the woes of the dying American Republic?
Yes, we have indeed been at war ever since dark forces began Their war upon us decades ago – both open and hidden warfare against the entire Human Family. The Dark Forces have found every means possible to disrupt and anger and sicken us on a grand scale. They have poisoned our food, water, and medicines. They have poisoned our skies. And even worse… they have poisoned many of our minds and spirits. This is nothing short of an intended genocide of the human race.
.
One must wonder why Kirk was targeted on September 10th instead of the following day. So the Perps wanted a “Day” all for Themselves to commemorate? Looks like it. Displaying their sickly selfish ego all while committing a very public atrocity.
.
Whatever the details end up being about this horrible event… one thing is undeniable. You simply cannot have a healthy functioning Nation when half the people within that Nation hate that very Nation itself. And in doing do… They hate the other half of the people living in that Nation. America is suffering from two causations of death – partially a Self-suicide and partially a deliberate murder. Either way… there is only one sad result without some kind of sufficiently powerful mitigating response to turn what looks like certain death into survival and the beginning of a renewal.
.
Despite all the tears and questioning and speculating and pontificating we are left with the same broken Nation that suffers from leadership that seems to lack any means to turn things around. More troops in American cities? That wont solve the problem. Doing nothing? That wont solve anything either. Arguing about what the answer is – or why we don’t have any answers? Once again… that will solve nothing.
.
So what will “solve” this? It has to start here: Each of us must look in the mirror. Are we working to solve the illness and broken-ness in our Nation or are we contributing to it? Are we believing the horse manure spread daily by State media and Anti-Social Dumbphone Media or are we thinking for ourselves? Are we retreating into fear and anger and frustration… or are we digging down deep for inner guidance and taking some kind of action – no matter how small – to make things better?
.
We can’t stop the dark forces that are working to make us sick. What we can do is everything we can so that We do not become sick ourselves. You may not be able to stop the Devil from doing what devils do – but you surely don’t have to surrender and give your soul away to it.
.
There are lots of Devils on the Crossroads of our lives today trying to make deals with us. We can’t stop these Devils from waiting there for us. But we can do everything we can and must to keep the Devil from taking more territory and more souls to add to It’s landscape of Hell.
.
We deserve better. America deserves better. Our Planet deserves better. And so did a courageous young man whose life was cut way too short.
In the beginning it was all about optics and relying on the system to get justice. Now the gloves are off, the optics are in our favor and the system has failed us for the last time. Now it’s time to put away the popcorn and start grabbing the mags.
The optics are never in “our” favor. You will be held to account. You have to decide if it is worth it.
Brandon, you nailed it. Time to rise up and defend our country.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Where do I sign up?
Brandon said, “We have been engaging in civics while the woke cult engages in sabotage, mob violence, child grooming and assassination.

..
Exactly. Conservatives, for better or for worse, are like the early days of Superman who let the bad guys free to create havoc on society another day. Eventually though, I think Conservatives may stop being the nice guy and instead take the law into their own hands.
“In particular, I think he put far too much stock in the idea that public debate would make a difference. I think it has diminishing returns.”
Not at the university level, where the indoctrination is really sealed. His strategy of trying to break through that was sound for the long game.
Not that I disagree with the column or where we’re at btw. Just saying to win this ultimately, we have to change how people think, and you can’t force that. Yes, you can get rid of those that insist on living by force, but eventually thinking and ideas must win or we’ll never get out of this.
I don’t think Charlie changed the minds of many leftists (if any). I think he did, however, make conservative kids feel safer in expressing their views on campuses.
Not much to add other than everyone who isn’t a crazed leftist say he was engaging, always polite and willing to debate anyone. It was also said, he was willing to be proven wrong on his issues. Milton Friedman was also hated because he never got angry and was a brilliant debater who always won with exceptional logic and humor.
Russian philosopher Alexandr Dugin says the US is at the crossroads of a Civil War. He raises many of the points made in this article. His daughter was killed in a car bombing by Ukrainian agents.

The fastest way to deal with this is to shut all the churches preaching endless pacifism. The church is a big problem castrating men, pandering to women. Close the churches and men will do their duty and go to war in this country. Not some foreign land killing people for bankers. Eliminate the leftists. Wall street, the bankers, the elites. Feed men like Brown to starving rabid dogs and let it be televised. A lesson to others.
While I agree with the sentiment, as Jesus said, “you will always have the poor with us” or something like that. In effect, he is saying human nature will not change. It cannot. We are what we are. Imperfect creatures. The problem is how people are manipulated. Governments, religions, society, peers, parents, etc. all have an impact on the development of the individual. The rich and powerful understand how to manipulate better than most, but are affected by their own experience. The final input comes from our DNA. How is our brain wired. I believe that has more impact than any other single factor. Note that studies have shown this to be true. Maturation periods determine what stage of development you have reached. The population is wired to be 50% left-50% right.
This is the main point to understand:
Ultimately it doesn’t really matter if Kirk was killed by a “lone nut” or an organized conspiracy, the end result is the same. The lefties are still applauding. They still want you dead. So, they still need to be dealt with.
Many things which we have been trained to consider as ethical absolutes are not. Instead of being absolutes, they are actually forms of a peace treaty. Non-violence? Not absolute. In reality, it is “I will be non-violent with you as long as you are non-violent with me.” The Rule of Law? That is also “I will obey the law with you as long as you obey the rule of law with me.” Otherwise, we end up in the same situation of two card players, one of who plays by Hoyle while the other cheats without consequence. Even things such as simple honesty and non-racism, need to be looked at as “I will play fair just as long as you play fair as well.” Once the other side has repeatedly and knowingly broken the peace treaty, you have zero obligation, ZERO, to treat them as anything other than your enemy.
I have great respect for Jesus, but turning the other cheek when you (or your children, your wife, your neighbors) are being abused MUST have some ending point. The only plausible ending point is either fight back or run away. And if you do run away? Then be certain that wherever you have gone, the same cheek slappers you left behind will be hunting you down again.
You’re describing, without naming it, the Golden Rule. Or as I also like to state it, “Give as you get.”
The left thought themselves to be impervious to backlash. Then in their arrogance they crossed the line, murder over speech. They FA’ed. Now they get to FO. And frankly, it’s both overdue and needs to be done emphatically and decisively.
Not a fan of violence and don’t normally advocate it, but the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered again.
Excellent article, Brandon.
Your predictions were unfortunately correct, but here we are and the call to action is clear.
Note to patriots: when dealing with domestic enemies, don’t forget the cunning elites who fund the leftist activists.
A concise overview looks like this:
Political Orgs: The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the primary political arm, with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) close behind. PSL is part of the Neville Roy Singham network and serves as their vehicle for running political candidates.
Militant Anarchists: A growing militant wing trains in weapons and self-defense, including groups such as Antifa, the Socialist Rifle Association, Armed Queers, Behind Enemy Lines, and Unity of Fields.
Climate Activism: Billions have flowed into climate-activist organizations, many of which increasingly employ anarchists.
Social & Racial Justice Groups: Since the rise of BLM, billions—public funds included—have supported the social and racial justice groups that regularly advocate for burning down the country.
Civil-Rights & Legal Orgs: Legacy anti-Western activists (“movement lawyers”) staff these groups, suing governments, police, and schools while training allies to push limits without triggering terrorism charges.
Foreign Interest Groups: Beyond the Neville Roy Singham network, other foreign powers, including the CCP, maintain domestic footholds.
Funding: Much of the money for this revolutionary activity comes from the progressive NGO ecosystem—Open Society Foundations, Tides, Ford, Rockefeller Brothers, Arabella Advisors, and the broader dark-money network.
