Prove Him Wrong

The original video tribute was posted the day after Charlie Kirk's assassination on 10 September 2025.

God be with you, Charlie. Thanks for everything.

To his wife, children and family and friends, my sincerest condolences. 

"He came for conversation,
Open and unbound.
A truthless world could not compete,
And it chose to close him down.

A turning point is reached,
Where trust and fairness, breached
Too many times by the worst of us,
Demands the devil be impeached.

Charlie can you hear me,
From beyond the closing bell?
In the history books the just will say:
"You did it very well."

Traitors in the forum
Betrayed us all in Orem.
We're in his debt, time to forget
Tolerance and decorum.

No longer will we excuse
The decadence they choose.
The devil in them has had his day
And now they must pay his dues.

Charlie can you hear me,
From beyond the closing bell?
In the history books the just will say:
"You did it very well."

When fools refuse to listen
And diplomacy is done,
There could come a time when all good men
May be forced to turn, to turn again,
To the justice of the gun.

Charlie can you hear me,
From beyond the closing bell?
In the history books the just will say:
"You did it very well."

Alternative bridge:

"When fools refuse to listen
And diplomacy is done,
Do you imagine
We will turn and run?
If you cannot best the man,
In the battle of ideas,
You will never, ever
Beat him with the gun."

After a good deal of information had been posted online by citizen journalists, (contrasting markedly with the paucity of said provided by the powers-that-be) the video below seemed a more appropriate reflection of a great man's perceptions and beliefs at the point where he left this life, than the original.

If you disagree, never mind.

 

Did Charlie's outspoken testimony get him killed?

You be the judge...

"Most people realise that Charlie was not killed for what he said. He was killed because people all over the world were listening to him. And, as a result, somebody, somewhere decided that he presented a danger to the status quo.

He had moved in a lot of his thinking further and further away from what we normally call the Israel lobby and its policies and thinking and he came round to understanding that what is happening in Gaza is, in fact, an atrocity. 

I think he discovered that Epstein was a serious player in Washington and that it was vital to release the files. Even though it would expose many, many famous people, there needed to be an understanding that the Mossad, working probably with the CIA, had a lot of information about people they didn't want to release, and that this was being used for blackmail purposes.

He also spoke directly to President Trump, when he was up at a party in the Hamptons on Long Island, about the wisdom of attacking Venezuela and that, of course, offended Donald Trump. He suggested that probably wasn't a good idea and shouldn't be done. 

And so, I think if you look at you look at his development over the last 6, 7, 8, years, he moved away from a very, I don't want to say naive, but innocent view of the world and the United States in it, to one that was much more critical. And I think his statements were resonating very strongly with people under the age of 40 who listened to him and agreed with him. 

So somebody decided he had to be stopped." Colonel Douglas McGregor on the reasons why Charlie Kirk was killed...
