Charlie Kirk's Murder: My Reaction
Sep 10, 2025 | By Rudyard Kipling

Posted on 09/10/2025 3:00:00 PM PDT by Lazamataz

Regarding Charlie Kirk's murder, I have only this to offer:

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

-- Rudyard Kipling

Good for all to see.

These assassins and their acolytes are motivated killers and they live among us.

There are leaders despite the lies the government and MSM say about their leaderless state. Antifa/Transtifa is a terrorist organization and needs to be declared one now. Those leaders need to be eliminated from power.

These people work in schools, universities, leftist businesses and government agencies and NGOS. They are among the ones removed from their government jobs who now have been hired by shadow government billionaires to take down America.

There are stupids who think that a conflict with them would be a walk in the park. These leftist fascists have been preparing for years and have secured all the power positions in the government and military. They are powerful, godless and ruthless.

We face the same darkness that Russians faced during their Revolution and Chinese faced during their Revolution. And DO NOT FORGET. THE LEFTISTS WON.

There are cells all over the country. They hide in the permitted disarray of our cities and states. For example California is a failed state. It Was PURPOSEFULLY eroded to gain power. It’s current Good for all to see.

Every failing state and city is filled with these people at the reins. They use ethnicity, sexual deviance, the criminal justice system, and race as their weapons.

They label any disagreement with their takedown of America and capitalism as fascism. Like racism that is now a meaningless term, for they themselves are the fascists. Those in power crush any strong rejection of their tyranny with guns, tanks, and federal might.

They viciously attack any organization that objects whether it be Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, a group of parents who disagree with a schoolboard, supporters of Donald Trump, citizens who demand safe streets and cities, people who object to child sexualization,

When you think of it, look at how small the public and political territory that conservative regular people have.

They have succeeded in the United States using Alinsky’s RULES FOR RADICALS and THE CLOWARD PIVEN Strategy to marginalize and topple cities and states.

This now is the end of a historical preface. This is a beginning. Perhaps even the beginning of the beginning.

I’ve heard that far too many times in the last 30 years.

Heard in 1963, 1964, 1968....

We’re used to Presidential assassination attempts.

The MSM can’t ignore Presidential assassination attempts.
There are plenty of assassination attempts and realities of lesser political activists. They don’t get the publicity.

Often they are grassroots activists who piss off the local establishment. They are not the talking heads in the media.

I've spent some time thinking about what I might say in light of the recent murder of Charlie Kirk and I kept thinking of parallels between his death of that of Andrew Breitbart.
I went back over my post from back then over 15 years ago, My Eyes Beheld, and I'm experiencing the same sentiment now as then...A comet bright had run it's course.

I didn't have the privilege of knowing Charlie personally, yet I, like many others, got to know him through his public activities. I never knew Andrew personally either, but BOTH of these men had an effect on me.

In one of the replies on my thread I had linked an article by Kevin DuJuan entitled "Be Breitbart, Baby" and I would like to share some of those words for those not wishing to follow through to that thread as it is just as poignant now as then.

I spent a good portion of today monitoring the positively horrible postings on various Leftist sites and on the Facebook accounts of proud adherents of “The Tolerant Left” — observing the absolute glee they’re taking in Andrew Breitbart’s sudden death yesterday. The same now as then. Andrew Breitbart was an important part of the Resistance whose unique gifts were crucial to our cause…but I know in my heart there is someone reading this right now whose talents could possibly be even greater — but you just have never put your talent out there.

Maybe you didn’t think you were good enough…or strong enough…or brave enough.
Maybe you were afraid of what the Tolerant Left would do to you or your family if you got involved.
Maybe you sat back because Andrew Breitbart was already out there doing the heavy lifting.
With him gone, it’s time for you to be Breitbart, baby.

I am beyond heartbroken this remarkable man is dead. There are no words to describe how sickened I am that the Tolerant Left has seized his death as a cause for perverse rapture. All I can think to do in response to any of this is to “be Breitbart, baby”.

Charlie's family has my utmost condolences and sympathy, and I wish that I could offer more than kind words. Life didn't give me the opportunity to meet either of these men, but his family should know that he made a profound impact on many people, including me, though I'm older and greyer now. May you find solace knowing that, like with my memories of Andrew, I won't forget.

A friend ever since, Charlie had been inspired by Andrew Breitbart, who had passed away just weeks before, and wanted to know if we could help him stand up for conservative views at his high school.

The circle remains unbroken and I have to wonder where I will be in thirteen more years, or if I'll even be alive then, and what I'll be writing about then and who amongst us will have been inspired by this man.

In the mean time...Be Charlie, Baby.

This William Blake poem, The Tyger, is stupendous... and timely.  Thanks for posting, Candor7.

Let me try to extract its meaning.

A Tiger is a fearful creature to lambs... and people.  So how could God create the Tiger and also create the Lamb?

The answer lies in the last stanza:

    Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
    In the forests of the night,
    What immortal hand or eye
    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry.

Symmetry is what holds our world together.  Man, being a flesh eating animal, is a threat to the fish and cattle.  Yet man needs protein to live. 

And if man does not constrain himself, he could destroy all the fish, cattle, and men on this Earth.  So man is far more fearful than a mere Tiger.

The proper way for men to live their short time of the Earth is to respect the symmetry of just Laws, and form self-reliant families and communities who deliver value to others as their means of livelihood and wealth.

Likewise, we must keep our rulers and merchants in check to ensure they follow that Law.  We the People must be ever-vigilant to control the avarice, tyranny, merit-destroying DEI, and corruption that naturally develops in governments.  If we don't assert our control then the terrors of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Communist China are let loose on the World.

History will show that people like President Trump and Charlie Kirk were the We-the-People-supporting warriors who brought back symmetry and life-sustaining balance to the Earth.
