Through the Looking Glass

By David Glenn Cox

Who killed Charlie Kirk? Kirk 31 was a mid-level Republican influencer. Aka, fake celebrity and paid propagandist. How do you make a living as an “Influencer”? How do you get paid for doing it? What do you get paid to influence? Hairstyles or the next new dance craze? “Come on, baby! Do the Locomotion?” Pretty brazen title, if you ask me.

But why would someone want to assassinate him? He was a paid bigmouth. But nothing he could do or say would ever make your taxes go up or shut down the steel mill in town. So, the obvious falls flat. From what I understand, Kirk was shot once at some distance in the chest. So, shot with a rifle? One shot? Probably a high-powered rifle, like a deer rifle. That tells you it was someone with skills. This was someone who knew what they were there about. This wasn’t a tearful jealous girlfriend armed with a starter pistol.

The shooter quickly disappeared, possibly with help? While police arrested a Travis Bickle, wanna be camp follower. Aka, public crazy who shows up at all these events like a bad penny. Arrested and released, who knows? The suspect was best described as wearing dark clothes. All-Points Bulletin! Be on the lookout for someone fitting the description of wearing dark clothes! A complete Winston Smith inversion. What they meant to say was, “There are no suspects.” But that sounds inadequate and tepid, doesn’t it? “The suspect wore dark clothes! And had two ears! And walked on two legs! And was believed to be wearing shoes!” Yeah, that’s much better.

The cleanliness of the getaway implies it was a professional hit. But why a high-priced hit on a low-priced character? The National Enquirer answer is Hillary Clinton (They killed him because he knew too much!) or a Joe Biden conspiracy. Is that the answer? Or is that the convenient answer they want you to think is the answer? Somehow, it just seems too obvious. This is someone who wanted him dead. No fooling around.

Remember now, we live in crazy town where the grass is blue, and the sky is green. Black is white as white is black. It wasn’t the Green Peace Berets who killed him! Think, night of the long knives. Think inside out. Why kill this man? Money? Power? Money? What could Kirk possibly say or know to make the world of the absurd want to kill him? What could he accuse the President of doing to top everything the president is already accused of doing, which would demand he be silenced? Stage the murder to look like a political hit. Maybe it was a signal to all the other Republican “influencers” to straighten up and fly right. “You are loyal comrade. But are you loyal enough?”

You know, don’t get too big for your own britches. The Roman practice of decimating the ranks occasionally, sometimes to teach the soldiery how to fight. What would you think happened if this were a Nazi government or a Stalinist government? People airbrushed out of Kremlin photographs or people thrown to their death out of first floor windows. Lots of crazy stuff going on down in crazy town. Why use a sledgehammer to kill an ant?

Why start a new war when you can’t win the war that you’ve already got? Why fire drones into Poland? A direct provocation and precursor to war. How does that advance the political situation for Russia? There is this belief in the West that Putin has this secret army of 100,000 highly trained, well-equipped combat soldiers hiding somewhere. The Russian Army has lost over one million men. The army started the Ukraine war with 300,000. Everyone in that army is already dead nearly four times over.

Their air force loses as many planes to age as they do to combat. Their navy was humiliated and forced into hiding. The very idea after years of struggle and combat there is a pristine shiny new combat division ready to roll out and open up another front is beyond the pale.

Some theorists speculate it was an attempt to gauge Poland’s response time and air defense capabilities. Why? Would good is that information going to do Russia? Are drones so cheap now and plentiful in wartime, they can be wasted frivolously? The drones are cheap compared with fighter jets but not cheap in everyday money. Just throw away a million dollars in wartime playing, what if? 

Too many drones to be an accident, but not enough to qualify as a full-fledged attack. Why start a war you can’t possibly win? Outgunned, outnumbered and out technology. Unless it was a plot to remove Putin with a bank shot. Conspirators out to remove Putin by starting an incident with NATO and forcing Putin from office. I know it’s thin. It’s like Dr. Strangelove without Slim Pickens. But someone, for some reason, is trying to start trouble in Poland and involve Russia.

Question? Why does a predator drome shoot hellfire missiles at an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon in international waters? Did this Tic Tac show hostile intent or act aggressively? Is it the United States Navy’s official policy to fire randomly at everything up in the sky? Are these UAPs around up there a lot? Now, in true Winston Smith verbosity, they proclaim. “Look! We fired a missile at it, and it got away! It must have super alien powers against our best weapons!” Either that or the missile was a dud. Which do you suppose? Alien super powers or a dud missile?

I was just a young boy when my daddy taught me never to shoot at anything, if you’re not sure what it is you’re shooting at. Maybe it’s a rabbit, but maybe it’s a bear.

Crazy town. A place where the government casually reports on air combat with aliens, but the thrust of the story is about how our best missile didn’t work properly. Just casually letting it drop, we are at war with aliens. I bet you didn’t have that one on your bingo card! Trump starts an intergalactic War!

“Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”  – Dr. Strangelove

Thank you for reading and supporting “This Carbon-Based Life.” Asking the question, Does this president make my ass look big?
