“Prove me Wrong” Charlie Kirk’s
Final Challenge on Free Speech

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 9/12/2025 9:24:20 PM

Yesterday, the United States entered a new and chilling stage of what I have called the “age of rage.” After two attempted assassinations of President Donald Trump, leading conservative leader Charlie Kirk, father of two, was gunned down at a campus event at Utah Valley University. I learned the news while I was in Prague to speak on my book,“The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage” and the growing attacks on free speech around the world. I never imagined that I would be speaking about Charlie’s murder and what it represents for free speech.

"need to do is be willing to get shot" And the left followed through and killed him for nothing more than that he politely disagreed with them. Look over the last decade and you can see the left and their violent rage for anyone who doesn't go along with their socialist/Marxist ideas.

When do we make them go on the run? If all the new government 'reformers' don't prosecute the sanctuary city crowd, if they don't RICO the dark money and media, If they don't put the creeps at FBI, CIA, etc. in prison, they will not only lose this country for good, and doom all of us, they will have spit on their oath, and failed miserably at doing their job.

No doubt anyone today who is a prominent conservative who goes around doing what Charlie Kirk did, making use of the First Amendment provided free speech to prove his or her point, must have a large amount of first class personal security in place when they appear in any public venue to keep the leftist “nut jobs” at bay, as the leftists are not about to stop preaching violence and be driven out of political power by allowing such free speech to go unchallenged.

#3, Not just preaching, but actually murdering. The DemoRoids who keep preaching violence against the right, and the lame stream media, aka the DemoRoid's propaganda arm all have some responsibility in this murder, Tyler was already unstable, and the ceaseless violent rhetoric pushed him over the edge. This doesn't absolve him of any blame, but the rest of the hate filled left (but then I repeat myself) also needs to be held accountable.

Is the answer turning the other cheek and taking it like Gandhi. Or hit back by murdering their advocates so it becomes too costly for them? The answer should be obvious but it is not at this point.

The "age of rage" is something that has been around. Cain and Abel? Look at how many assassinations there have been in America. I firmly believe jealousy is the instigator. I want to repeat someone's opinion about the political spectrum. Rather than being linear where the extremes are at opposite ends, it is more circular where the extremes converge at a point 180 degrees from the political center. Given that, there is a very fine line between political extremes. Sad. I know I have my opinion of what that very fine line is but. . .

I have noticed that many of the people holding leftist views when asked why they hold them can not support them. In many cases they were told them and accepted them without question. It never occurs to them that they have been feed misinformation or outright lies. One of the consistent lies told about Charlie Kirk was that he was guilty of spreading hate speech about those who disagreed with him. This was never done by Charlie. He supported his point of view with polite reason, he did not make comments about the other person.

Rather than endless navel-gazing, I have some suggestions for concrete action... 1.) Start enforcing laws against incitement.... something we haven't been doing for a number of years. 2.) Declare Antifa an active domestic terrorist organization and its members as active enemy combatants against the USA... and deal with them as such. 3.) Building on #1: Pass a "3 strikes" and out law against people who become recidivists in incitement. After the 3rd time, it will be life in prison in the U.S. or deportation to any country willing to take them combined with loss of citizenship and being barred from ever entering the USA again. Number 3 is a sop to our humanity. No, we're not going put offenders into concentration camps and work them to death (like the actual Nazis did). And it will be their problem -- not ours -- to find that other country that's willing to take them. My guess is some will in the immediate years following enactment of the law. Later on, those countries will figure out that they really don't want these people and they'll stop. The societal problem will resolve itself when aspiring inciters see lots of people -- some very old -- who forfeited their lives by advocating for the murder of others.

Charlie’s assassin rage probably came from his girlfriend being a transgenic male. Those hormones are seriously affecting Gay brains. It is time to declare Antifa a Terrorist Organization for what they do every day in Portland. The FBI was so powerful against J6ers but so forgiving of the leftist agitators.

I watched Steve Bannon's Saturday program on RAV and they showed Tommy Robinson's million men & women march in London protesting the grooming and raping of innocent British girls by immigrant invaders of their country. I had to smile when I saw some people in the crowd carrying signs with pictures of Charlie Kirk on them, and they were shouting, "Char-lee, Char-lee". Different causes but same theme - Charlie and Tommy both love their country and want the innocent protected from those who do not.

When the Preference Cascade Becomes a Flood 4 replies

I’ve written before about preference cascades — where large portions of the public, often a majority, conceal their views for fear of punishment, only to reveal those views when some precipitating event takes place. Classic examples include the fall of Communist regimes, like Ceausescu’s Romania, where even Ceausescu himself thought everyone loved him until shortly before he was stood in front of a wall and shot. Usually those happen in one direction. But in contemporary America, they’re happening in two. The murder of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a leftist gunman has revealed that many, many more Americans — and even people elsewhere around the world — supported Charlie

Liberal host Bill Maher mourned the killing of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, contrasting conservatives who embrace dialogue with far-left activists who, he argued, seek to silence it. "Look, I might drink a little more than usual today," Maher told guest Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. "Because I don’t know when this is airing, but this is a s--- day. A guy who sat there – Charlie Kirk – got shot today, and I can't stop thinking about it." Kirk’s assassination during a campus event stunned the nation and reignited a national conversation about the value of political dialogue – even across deeply divided ideological lines.

From all early signs, Tyler Robinson’s “reasons” for taking Charlie Kirk’s life came straight from the lefty disinformation machine that has been screaming about right-wing fascism for at least half the confessed assassin’s life. At least two “anti-fascist” messages on the cartridges; a relative noting how in conversation he insisted Kirk “was full of hate and spreading hate” — all horribly in tune with the many lefty talking points uttered after the assassination suggesting Kirk was asking for it. Yes, the extreme right has its own sicko extremists, but Robinson didn’t have to dunk himself into the sewers of the Internet to imbibe the incessant refrain that President Donald Trump

There's bias in the media, and then there's next-level, full-throated love of the most extreme parts of the leftist movement, as exhibited by ABC News reporter Matt Gutman. Gutman, as many are aware, went on an unhinged romanticization of text messages revealed by Charlie Kirk's assassin to his love interest, where he seemingly admitted to and attempted to justify his actions. The reporter thoroughly embarrassed himself with the gushing sentiments. He felt the need to highlight the "duality" of a deranged killer and how he spoke "so lovingly" to his partner. "It was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect," Gutman said.

As President Donald Trump tries to force Lisa Cook out of her job at the Federal Reserve, her lawyers have pointed to a similar event in history — one where the president lost at the Supreme Court. On October 7, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt fired William E. Humphrey from his post at the Federal Trade Commission. The reason was purely political: The president wanted someone who could advance his priorities.. "I do not feel that your mind and my mind go along together," Roosevelt told Humphrey in a letter. His term at the FTC was supposed to last until 1938. When Humphrey refused to resign, Roosevelt fired him.
