charlie kirk is sitting in a white shirt reading freedom “counting or not counting violence,” when the skin on charlie kirk’s neck falls apart and the blood starts coming and charlie kirk falls to the left and then everyone yells. [seconds_after_9_10_25]

charlie kirk is bleeding out. the utah sun is beating down and a crowd of the only people on earth who think he matters are screaming and trampling one another and everyone is trying to get out, and charlie kirk is dying because charlie kirk was shot in the neck and charlie kirk is dying because he is charlie kirk. the fascists do not need charlie kirk before he is shot and they need him after and that still doesn’t really mean anything because they do not really need him because charlie kirk still wanted respect or at least to be the kind of person who could be respected and charlie kirk debated at the oxford union. and charlie kirk is the only one who doesn’t seem to notice that it’s all going the way of rockwell and no one gives a good goddamn about richard spencer anymore. it is september 10, 2025 and so it is not 2026. but charlie kirk is everywhere and everything now and charlie kirk probably would not even be able to apprehend even the vague dimensions of what is happened to charlie kirk. [bad_escape_9_10_2025] he is wearing a pair of gray low-top chuck taylors, a pair of well-worn and well-fitted blue jeans, a mildly-black trucker hat, bug-eye sunglasses, a medium-sized black backpack with straps that dissolve in his black long-sleeve shirt with a photo of what is presumably a bald eagle in a horaltic pose in front of an american flag. cctv footage captures the figure minutes before atop a one-storey building with several precisely-spaced and identical narrow windows below the roof and above a long, brick facade. on the roof is a neat layer of crushed limestone and a sudden, trapezoidal void of exposed steel. the footage released to the public has a duration of one-minute-and-forty-seconds. at the nine-second mark, the figure in black runs out from behind a vent and across the limestone roof. at the fifteen-second mark, the camera zooms in and the figure, wielding some type of long rifle, begins to climb down. twelve seconds later, the figure, gun still in hand, is hanging by his arm onto a window’s edge and falls a distance likely no greater than six feet. by the thirty-one-second mark, the figure is hunched over and sprinting behind a seemingly-small hill approximately fifteen feet from the building’s full parking lot. at one-minute-and-fourteen seconds, the figure slows to a calm stroll along the sidewalk. several other figures, unrelated and functionally invisible, walk within his vicinity, and their strides do not break the left side of charlie kirk’s face is steel with a red laser for an eye andrew tate calls charlie kirk about the orthodox jewish faggot on the roof and charlie kirk draws a gun and the skin is going slack on charlie kirk’s face, the little bits hanging on behind and below the steel, looking like someone else and the bullet flies and now charlie kirk’s skin is trying to swallow the steel, looming larger and trump his mouth threatening to open all the way to the temples says good job pookie [articulated_articulated]

exactly fifteen days later, president donald trump issues a memorandum concerning the rising tide of domestic terrorism. the memorandum, referred to as the national security presidential memorandum or nspm-7, opens “Even in the aftermath of the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, some individuals who adhered to the alleged shooter’s ideology embraced and cheered this evil murder while actively encouraging more political violence…Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.” the memorandum neither creates, nor expands, the authority of the relevant agencies, but rather attempts a kind of reorientation, ordering the reallocation of existing resources and powers in pursuit of preventing what it broadly defines as domestic terrorism.

the data supposedly may only be procured if and when the government has reason to suspect they contain foreign intelligence of interest to national security. though section 702 explicitly forbids the targeting of american citizens, it is estimated that at least 278,000 queries on american citizens have thus far been made; brennan characterizes it as a go-to tool for domestic espionage. charlie kirk is dancing now, so much so that charlie kirk doesn’t even look like charlie kirk as you would see in pictures but as you might not be able to recall but is very much charlie kirk, a warmth and uncertainty to it. [the_new_rendition_zuboff_c._2017] during a single, one-year window, investigators discover tens of thousands of baseless backdoor searches. of these, investigators discovered 141 searches for the communications of activists of color, roughly 19,000 queries regarding the donors to a congressional campaign, and at least two related to potential suitors an nsa agent had encountered on an online dating service. information obtained via these means may be used against you in court without your knowledge and stored indefinitely.

the driver, in a dodge challenger, wearing a maroon t-shirt, pulls up to the pump in the far-left corner, very nearly out of frame and certainly out of any focus and he could be anyone in the world but a circle indicates that it is him and so we are left to believe that the figure is him.. the video is two-minutes-and-fifty-five-seconds and it is recorded at a gas station in cedar city, utah. a total of thirteen individuals are recorded, their faces and license plates blurred as appropriate. the driver stays for approximately two-minutes-and-twenty-four-seconds. during which time he appears to lean against the driver-side door. [begins_before_ends_after_9_11_2025] peter thiel’s palantir secured a contract for $30 million to develop a specialized surveillance platform to be used by ice. the platform, called ImmigrationOS, utilizes artificial intelligence to assemble maps of known “hotzones,” identify illegal immigrants, and sort deportation queues. the model is likely trained on the hyper-granular mapping data collected in recent years, state identification databases, and the produce of its vast in-house data mining operations. like many models, ImmigrationOS is expected to improve over time, provided continued usage and increased data-consumption.

what charlie kirk needed, what charlie kirk’s colleagues needed, or perhaps what was needed of charlie kirk, was pretext. was a reason to do what they already wanted to do and had been doing and would have done anyway. was not charlie kirk so much as something like charlie kirk, and that it was kirk was as good a reason as any. nspm-7 is about three pages (really four, but the last page is mostly empty) and the authors probably wanted it to feel immediate but it is also thorough and also sweeping in the way that is difficult to pull off quickly and so when charlie kirk dies it doesn’t take all that long to stamp it and send it out. charlie kirk dies and very quickly it is what you expect to happen here, very quickly it is the crying widow and the street signs taken down and charlie kirk put back up there. and within months, at least 3,700 non-profits and civil society organizations are ordered to turn over files and dozens of activists to put their hands up when they are on their way to work, and from here on out they must be all careful that their every word and movement cannot be made to resemble a threat.

tyler robinson appears in-person in court for the first on december 11, 2025. he is 22-years-old and journalists report that he appears mostly calm. he is wearing a blue shirt pale almost to the point that it is not recognizably blue, with a plaid tie that cannot seem to decide if it is supposed to be noticed or ignored, and an otherwise-forgettable face with conventionally-flat hair. the footage is not blurry or grainy so much as it is uncertain; the pixels do not want to make a definitive claim as to his appearance one way or another [left_to_assume_12_11_25]. investigators, speaking to reporters later, say facial recognition technology had flagged him as a person of interest in the case before robinson’s father recognized him on the news and decided to turn him in. in an interview with news nation, former fbi special agent bobby chacon says “it looks like ultimately it could be on the level of dna ultimately as a tool for law enforcement. what we saw with dna, and with the tools it brought…i think facial recognition is going to get there soon.”

at the trial his lawyers contend that bullets supposedly recovered at the scene of the crime, their casings reading “Hey, fascist! Catch!,” “notices, bulges, OwO, what’s this,” and other supposedly anti-american statements, do not match the rifle tyler robinson purportedly used to assassinate charlie kirk. minutes after the shooting, kash patel announces that the “subject” has been apprehended. the suspect is reportedly an older libertarian man, known to local police, who tells police that he is glad to have helped the real shooter get away. the suspect is detained and subsequently arrested on a number of counts related to csam allegedly discovered on his computer.

and they do not care that now charlie kirk is talking to yachty, both wearing the blue shirts, and yachty waves his arm, and charlie kirk purses his lips and waves above as the camera pans and charlie kirk’s face doesn’t give out on the side and you think “ yes of course duh.” charlie kirk is wearing a wife beater, with diddy behind him and netanyahu somewhere in the vicinity and obama in a swat vest. and obama tells charlie kirk that he’s under arrest, and because his face actually moves this time, and it’s got all the wrinkles and his lips curl in that little way they need to [not_a_pixel_out_of_place] and charlie kirk goes “i don’t feel like i’m under arrest” and he asks “do you feel like you’re under arrest, yahu?” and yahu, sitting on something and it is very dark now, a thousand grains of night precisely ordered and attached clearly and carefully to the skin, looks at him and goes “not a bit.” diddy says nothing to any of it, just kind of standing there and then kamala her pistol and vest, has that menace in her eyes,

because the cheek muscles contract precisely when and precisely as much as you would expect, things you can’t draw or describe, this way of seeing with millions of seconds and faces beneath it, how seamlessly charlie kirk moves how seamlessly the light moves with him. [totally_seen]
