The Pattern Never Changes…
JFK. 9/11. Trump’s shooting. Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The same script plays out every time: initial confusion, conflicting narratives, institutional investigations that raise more questions than answers, and decades of unresolved mysteries.
We’ll never get real answers because the system isn’t designed to provide them. It’s designed to manage narratives and protect power structures. The Charlie Kirk case will follow the exact same trajectory. Official story, holes in the narrative, citizen investigators finding inconsistencies, and eventual memory holing.
This isn’t incompetence. It’s the inevitable result of centralized information control meeting institutional self preservation.
The brutal reality: Every major event becomes a “mystery” because institutions have zero incentive to provide clarity that might implicate themselves or their networks. Gatekeepers get captured, algorithms get gamed, authorities get bought. The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed.
Institutions failed because centralization always fails. The solution isn’t better institutions, it’s no institutions.
What works: Cryptography. Economic incentives. Distributed verification. Permissionless innovation.
What doesn’t: Asking nicely. Voting harder. Constitutional amendments. Official investigations.
Citizens doing frame by frame analysis of grainy footage aren’t conspiracy theorists, they’re applying cryptographic thinking to media forensics because it’s more epistemologically sound than trusting captured institutions.
Stop trying to fix the machine. Build a better one. Make verification so cheap that lies become economically impossible.
The future is peer to peer. Everything else is legacy infrastructure waiting to be routed around.
