Charlie Kirk’s assassination raises questions we should be asking. Days before his death, he publicly challenged AIPAC’s influence and questioned unconditional aid to Israel. Positions that put him at odds with one of America’s most powerful lobbying forces.
Kirk was building a youth movement of 250k+ members that could rival AIPAC’s organizational capacity, but with an America First agenda. He was becoming increasingly independent from his initial donors and outspoken about putting American interests first.
Now he’s dead. We’re told it was a lone 22 year old acting on impulse. Maybe. But given the FBI’s track record (COINTELPRO, MLK surveillance, dismissing early warnings), healthy skepticism isn’t conspiracy. It’s citizenship.
Who benefits from silencing voices that challenge foreign lobbying power? Why does AIPAC spend millions influencing our elections while operating under less scrutiny than other foreign connected organizations? Why can’t we debate our relationship with Israel without accusations of antisemitism?
Kirk deserves justice. America deserves truth. And we deserve the right to ask hard questions about power in our political system and the systemic failures it’s had.
