The organization, which promotes the use of weapons, is composed of far-left LGBT individuals. 15/09/2025 by Editorial Team. A Palestinian and transgender immigrant, Ermiya Fanaeian, leads a far-left terrorist movement and LGBT in the United States, Utah, the state where right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was murdered. Fanaeian leads the organization called "Armed Queers Salt Lake City" (AQSLC), a group that combines armed self-defense with LGBT activism and communist militancy, with the goal of "promoting a broader struggle against capitalism and state violence," according to a publication by the organization.

Here’s what you need to know: 🔻 Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. 🔻 Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the "7 for 17" Award for advancing the UN's 17 Goals 🔻 Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian's presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain. Per the 990 form with Utah Global Diplomacy (EIN 876128308), the nonprofit is a partner with the US State Department to cultivate emerging leaders and diplomacy initiatives. In other words,...

The elderly political activist who became the first person detained after claiming he'd shot Charlie Kirk told police he lied in an attempt to let the real killer get away. George Zinn, a 71-year-old Utah resident, was initially suspected of being the shooter as he was taken into custody moments after Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University last week. Police documents now claim Zinn - who has several prior arrests for trespassing - admitted to causing a distraction to keep law enforcement away from the shooter, now alleged to be 22-year-old Tyler...

Police say that a Salt Lake City man — who was no stranger to the state's political scene — claimed responsibility moments after the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in an attempt to "draw attention from the real shooter." The arrest also sparked a child pornography investigation. George Hodgson Zinn, 71, was booked into Utah County Jail for investigation of obstruction of justice and sexual exploitation of a minor on Monday, following a few days at a hospital. Newly released police documents also detail more of what happened that led to his arrest at Utah Valley University, which...

A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest. Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal. Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday's shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.

"I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody," Patel said. Authorities say...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino appears on Fox News shortly after Director Kash Patel to outline his perspectives on the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson wrote a note saying he was going to 'take out' the conservative commentator before he shot him dead, according to the FBI director. 'I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it,' the suspect said, Kash Patel revealed during an appearance on Fox News on Monday morning. 'The note was written before the shooting, it was in the suspect's partner's home,' Patel added. 'We have since learned the note - even though it was destroyed - we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed...

It never ceases to amaze me how, once the left settles on its preferred narrative, it cannot let it go. To this day, there are people on the left who cling to the debunked conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election. The latest fake news that the left seems unwilling to let go of is the fact that Charlie Kirk’s killer, Tyler Robinson, is a radicalized leftist. I am still seeing social media posts from leftists — random accounts and highly-followed accounts — claiming that Robinson was MAGA or a groyper, just because his...

MAGNA, Utah — Two men have been arrested after allegedly leaving an incendiary device underneath a KSTU News (Fox 13 in Salt Lake City) vehicle and then forcing an evacuation of a Magna neighborhood when the FBI served an overnight warrant on their home. The men, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were booked into jail and face multiple charges, including Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices. The device underneath the KSTU vehicle was originally located on Friday and determined to be real. According to officials, the device had been lit...

It’s always the ones you least expect. Two men have been taken into custody after an operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies in a Magna neighborhood. One of the suspects were identified as 58-year-old Adeeb Nasir and 31-year-old Adil Justice Ahme Nasir. According to a probable cause statement, bomb squads from the Salt Lake City Police Department and Unified Fire Authority responded to reports of a suspicious device. The Nasirs were apparently arrested “for the offenses of manufacturing or possessing a weapon of mass destruction, threat of terrorism”.

A bomb on a local FOX 13 news van in Salt Lake City fizzled out instead of blowing up on Friday, and police have two suspects in custody. Suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is being held nearby. It was those sneaky Lutherans again. Just kidding. The suspects' names are Adeeb Nasir, age 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, age 31. The story slipped under the radar over the weekend, but investigators found that the bomb "had been lit but failed to function as designed," according to court documents revealed by CBS affiliate KUTV early Monday. On Sunday, the FBI...

Karen Attiah A left-wing columnist revealed in a Substack on Monday that she was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts amid the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Colorado school shooting. "On Bluesky, in the aftermath of the horrific shootings in Utah and Colorado, I condemned America’s acceptance of political violence and criticized its ritualized responses — the hollow, cliched calls for ‘thoughts and prayers’ and ‘this is not who we are’ that normalize gun violence and absolve [W]hite perpetrators especially, while nothing is done to curb deaths," Karen Attiah wrote. Kirk, a leading conservative activist, was...

In a shocking coincidence, transgender double-murderer Mia Bailey lived in Washington City and was arrested in nearby St. George, just minutes away from the residence shared by Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk, and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs. Robinson’s parents and Bailey’s parents both lived in Washington, Utah, approximately 5 minutes apart, in a small town of 27,993 people as of 2020. After murdering his parents, Bailey was arrested in St. George, just minutes from the Fossil Hills Townhomes community where Robinson and Twiggs lived together. While no direct connection between the cases has...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship,...

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy. While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern...
