76 sats \ 14 replies \ @siggy47 4h \ on: Anyone else going down the rabbit hole on the Charlie Kirk Assassination? news
Christopher Hedges had a guy on his latest podcast who kept saying Israel did it while repeatedly saying "I'm not saying Israel did it."
I just listened to Dave Smith's recent podcast on the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And I thought it was really interesting - not because he's accusing Israel. No, it's because he's specifically NOT accusing Israel, and he's bashing other people who ARE accusing Israel. And saying, "there's no evidence", etc.
But if your base position is that it's bad to speculate, that you shouldn't postulate that there might be other people who wanted Charlie Kirk dead - then of course you'll never find any evidence. You won't even look.

This has always been Dave's attitude towards conspiracy theories and it's about the same as mine:
Would they do it? Yes, they're monsters
Could they do it? Almost certainly
Did they do it? Let's see the evidence

Agreed. The Hedges episode guy was talking about all sorts of Mossad stuff. Planting bugs in the White House. 9-11. The Aldo Moro kidnapping. Clearly he has an agenda. Max Blumenthal:

Yeah, Clint's latest episode got into a lot of that too. But, again, there's no disagreement that they're bad actors. Being bad actors isn't evidence that they did a particular bad thing.

Oh, so you heard this podcast too? Smith actually said something like, "I know people are going to say that they got to me already". I was definitely thinking that was the case, just from the tone.
Also it wasn't that early, I don't think - wasn't it just yesterday?
And apparently it was BECAUSE Charlie Kirk hosted a debate between Dave Smith (anti zionist) and another guy, who was a complete zionist, that Israel was very, very upset with him, and apparently he was sent some messages that could be seen as threatening.
It would be interesting to hear what Tucker Carlson says on this issue - apparently Charlie Kirk showed him the messages.

Was it the guy who reported about Kirk being afraid Israel would kill him?
reply
I believe it was Harrison Smith that originally reported that he'd heard from someone that Charlie Kirk was afraid of being assassinated by Mossad.
And it was from an "unnamed source". You can look things up here - https://x.com/HarrisonHSmith

That's right. I couldn't remember his name off-hand. I listened to his interview with Clint Russel on Liberty Lockdown.
I totally buy that Israel would have been willing and able to kill Kirk, but we also need evidence that they actually did.

I think that evidence disappears really quickly. I saw another video of a guy (the dark green shirt guy, like army shirt, with his sleeves rolled up, visible in the above video) leaping over barriers and RUNNING over to the large video camera on the tripod, and starting to pick it up. And that would have been the camera that caught everything, I think.
Or maybe the people standing around would have been blocking the angle that video camera had.
It did seem like they were specifically getting positioned to block the view of the phone/gun, and the only reason that whoever took the original video was able to capture it, was that he was higher up.
