Just when Trump thought he had the excuse to banish Democrats from the political process, branding them terrorists in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, he was thwarted by one of his own.
thank you for confirming what I read elsewhere on Substack. Here's the letter i wrote to PBS news regarding the Charlie Kirk shooter, of whom they claim little is known as of now.:

SO, WHAT EXACTLY MOTIVATED KIRK’S MURDERER?
Devouring Their Own: Kirk, Fuentes, Loomer, and the Cannibalism of the Far Right
Charlie Kirk spent his short, ugly career poisoning the American bloodstream. He was never an intellectual, never a leader, never anything more than a carnival barker for hate — a fast-talking opportunist who cashed in on resentment while insisting he was “saving” the republic. His rallies trained kids to harass professors, to lash out at trans classmates, to believe cruelty was courage. He made himself rich by teaching a generation that mockery and malice were virtues.
And yet, in the eyes of the real zealots, Kirk was never enough.
Nick Fuentes, the simpering would-be führer of the “Groyper” cult — an online swarm of bigoted young men obsessed with white identity and authoritarian purity — saw Kirk as a fraud: too slick, too corporate, too unwilling to openly embrace white supremacy.
Laura Loomer, a professional embarrassment who made a career out of getting banned from platforms and shouting at the void, likewise denounced Kirk as a charlatan. To them, Kirk was a poseur, a lightweight profiteer standing in the way of the “true” revolution.
And along came Tyler Robinson. A devoted follower of both Fuentes and Loomer, Robinson swallowed their bile whole. In his eyes, Kirk wasn’t an enemy of the left — he was a traitor to the right. Not ruthless enough. Not fanatical enough. Not vicious enough. So Robinson picked up a rifle and erased him.(Underlining added by email writer)
Here lies the far right’s shame: Kirk was not assassinated by “antifa terrorists” or “trans radicals” or any of the bogeymen Fox News spins to keep viewers glued. He was taken out by one of their own — a disciple of Fuentes and Loomer, marinated in their paranoia, who decided Kirk’s carefully monetized hate wasn’t pure enough.
Fuentes fancies himself the heir to Hitler, but in truth he’s a bitter internet shut-in who weaponizes lonely young men. Loomer styles herself a warrior, but she’s a clown, careening between hysterical self-promotion and sewage. These are the idols Robinson chose. And Kirk — for all his venom, for all his harm — was chewed up and spat out by the very purity cult he helped unleash.
No one should mistake this for martyrdom. Charlie Kirk was not a victim of resistance; he was the collateral damage of a movement so rabid it devours even its own apostles. His death is not a tragedy for democracy — it’s a symptom of the rot of a fascist subculture that demands blood and will keep demanding more.

Republicans Exploit Kirk’s Death While Ignoring a Decade of Far-Right Carnage
Hey Mersault, how do you know this?! This is much more info about Tyler Robinson than anyone else has shared. Is this possibly because they know it but won’t release the info unless there’s a way to blame the Dems? OMG…but seriously, how and where did you get this info? You certainly are a master researcher!
And he responded with a reply I can no longer find to copy that he has had a window in the background of such events and if you pull one thread the whole thing comes unraveling. I paraphrase him badly. But in essence he was saying the authorities know a LOT more than they are revealing. So why don’t you and your reporters know this much. Tyler Robinson was a extreme Right Wing true believer…and the authorities do not want to admit this, but will only release enough of it to seem to cast blame on the Left.
I hope Mersault responds to this note by again answering the question of how he knows this info about Robinson. Otherwise, your posts feel like another unproven conspiracy theory. Provide proof with documentation.
You are welcome. However I would not be surprised at all if they create a new false narrative today. That’s what makes commentary on such incendiary issues.
A great piece thank you. Such a sickening lot they are. I pray that those incharge of the fire-power do not ever bow to these evil fascist antichrists.
Sick and tired of their nonsense and their lies!!! They can’t seem to wrap their small minds around the fact it wasn’t us it was one of their own! Please at what point will anyone in congress actually stop and remove this regime?
How much do you want to stop the Rat and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting the Rat and the Ratsucking politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by the Rat. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting the Rat and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the Rat.
Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way.
We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!
I completely agree with everything you stated. When I heard Trump’s first statement about the “radical left” suspect, I felt afraid of the reactions of his blind followers! All the idiotic regime that echoed that accusation was giving fuel to the already violent tendencies the conservatives inhabit. It scares the living shit out of me! I hesitate to criticize, in light of her grief, but Kirk’s widow almost seems to relish her power to incite others with vengeance. I hope, since the true identity of the shooter’s allegiance has been revealed, she will tone down the hatred in her voice. Trump and Patel need to be called out for their lies. But it never seems to happen. The mainstream media is too weak and afraid to confront! Thank you for continuing to search for the truth and declaring it loudly!
When I first heard about the shooting and Trump immediately pinning the blame on left-wing lunatics, my first thought was that our Reichstag moment had arrived.
The ripples of democracy and freedom for all people have started. We will stand united this time. There will be no us vs them. It will be US. All of US Together - Lead with Love. Love will always win.
#47 delights in being compared to Hitler as he visualizes his own power grab of this country. The congress and extreme court have supported him all the way. The speech that comes from the top will be the spark that ignites a fire that will be impossible to put out.

Yeah I know!
He may not have erased it I just don’t know. I often have trouble finding where comments are in substack.
Thank you for this article. It clearly states the truth which we soooooo need in these times.

The current administration is scaring me to death.
I hear you Lindy
I’m so super

Now is the time for this Peaceful Solution.
Next, Part 2-Why this is the best option.
Then, Part 3-How to accomplish this.

I wonder if MAGA will get the memo that he was one of their own. Some on the right said that the left declared war when CK was shot.
It’s not over yet, I’m just waiting for the new talking points
Think how much worse it would be in our nation right now if the current administration were not so incompetent.
On second thought, don’t.
When I first heard about the shooting and Trump immediately pinning the blame on left-wing lunatics, my first thought was that our Reichstag moment had arrived.
Great minds eh?
“I really don’t care” is the most honest statement Trump ever said. SAD!
The ripples of democracy and freedom for all people have started. We will stand united this time. There will be no us vs them. It will be US. All of US Together - Lead with Love. Love will always win.
Great article.
Thank you for the extra post, too!
My pleasure
