Taking A Step Back,
A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid.
The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered.
Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it. The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered.
In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.
According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts. By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he described in an interview as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.” “He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized...
..This July, at his TPUSA Student Action Summit, Kirk provided a forum for the right-wing grassroots to vent its fury about Israel’s political hammerlock on the Trump administration. There, speakers from former Fox News stalwarts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, to the anti-Zionist Jewish comedian Dave Smith, denounced Israel’s blood-soaked assault on the besieged Gaza Strip, branded Jeffrey Epstein as an Israeli intelligence asset, and openly taunted Zionist billionaires like Bill Ackman for “getting away with scams” despite having “no actual skills.” Following the confab, Kirk was bombarded with infuriated text messages and phone calls from Netanyahu’s wealthy allies in the US, including many who had funded TPUSA. According to his longtime friend, the Zionist donors treated Kirk with outright contempt, essentially ordering him to fall back into line.
“He was being told what you’re not allowed to do, and it was driving him crazy,” Kirk’s friend recalled. The conservative youth leader was not only alienated by the hostile nature of the interactions, but “frightened” by the backlash...
..According to Kirk’s longtime friend, Kirk’s resentment of Netanyahu and the Israel lobby was spreading within Trump’s inner circle. In fact, they said, the president himself was terrified of Netanyahu’s wrath, and feared the consequences of defying him...
..There is currently no evidence of an Israeli government role in Kirk’s assassination...
..Netanyahu first tweeted prayers for Kirk at 3:02 PM in the afternoon on September 10, minutes after news of the shooting broke. He has since authored three additional posts about Kirk, even breaking away from the Israeli war cabinet to spend the afternoon of September 11 memorializing the conservative leader on Fox News...

..During that interview, Netanyahu did his best to insinuate that Israel’s enemies were responsible for murdering Kirk, despite the fact no suspect was named or in custody at the time: “The radical Islamists and their union with the ultra-progressives—they often speak about ‘human rights,’ they speak about ‘free speech’—but they use violence to try to take down their enemies.”... “I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel,” Netanyahu declared. “Sadly, that visit will not take place.”...
..Four days before the assassination, frustration among pro-Israel commentators bubbled over in public during an Fox News interview in which Ben Shapiro launched a chilling attack on Kirk without naming him.
“The problem with a ‘big tent’ is that you may end up with many clowns inside,” Shapiro told Fox host and fellow Zionist gatekeeper Mark Levin in an apparent critique of TPUSA.
“Just because you’re saying somebody votes Republican—that doesn’t mean that they ought to be the preacher at the front of the church, they’re not the person that ought to be leading the movement, if they are spending all day criticizing the President of the United States as ‘covering up a Mossad rape ring’ or ‘being a tool of the Israelis for hitting an Iranian nuclear facility.’”
When Kirk took his usual place at the “front of the church” four days later, he was cut down by a sniper’s bullet.
Within 24 hours of Kirk’s death, Shapiro announced that he would be launching his own campus speaking tour, vowing: “We’re gonna pick up that blood stained microphone where Charlie left it.” https://thegrayzone.com/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-netanyahu-israel-assassination/

Federal investigators have questioned the roommate of Tyler Robinson, 22, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to US media reports on Saturday.
Senior FBI officials told Fox News that Robinson had been in a “romantic relationship” with a person transitioning from male to female, with whom he shared an apartment in St. George, Utah. The individual is said to be “extremely cooperative” with the authorities and is not accused of any crime in connection with the killing.
Public records reviewed by the New York Post linked Robinson to Lance Twiggs, 22, who lived at the same address. A relative confirmed that Twiggs was Robinson’s roommate, while declining to comment on their relationship.
The FBI is now sifting through “a mountain of evidence” that includes communications between Robinson and Twiggs, as well as “every connection, every group, every link and anyone tied” to the shooting. Investigators say text messages and Discord chats recovered from the pair’s devices provided key leads, including references to a rifle wrapped in a towel and hidden near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was gunned down on Wednesday. https://swentr.site/news/624634-kirk-assassin-transgender-partner/

Kyle Young, Charlie Kirk, Martyr
Late yesterday Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika released a statement. At the beginning of her statement she gracefully thanked everyone who had worked on the investigation to find a shooter... "The evil doers responsible for my husbands assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith and of Gods merciful love." ..It’s apparent that she’s not buying into the official ‘lone gunman’ narrative. In fact, by using plural terminology she makes it clear that she believes multiple people were responsible...
In my mind this was also an attack on Gen Z. Where would the US be in 20 years if Charlie Kirk had been allowed to teach ever more Zoomers how to have civilized discussions about tough questions while weaving in the teachings of Jesus? He had already reached hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of Zoomers.
It appears some dark forces wanted to put a stop to all of that. And they certainly didn’t want to run the risk that Kirk would become so popular that he could take the White House in just a few more election cycles. Perhaps most importantly, those dark forces didn’t want to lose the future support of Gen Z...
..I’m not buying the goods being sold to us by Cash Patel, the Governor of Utah and the other “authorities” parading in front of the cameras. As I’ll be pointing out, their story is full of holes.
To begin with, while Robinson may have been on the roof of the building behind the audience, they’ve not presented any evidence he ever shot a gun, let alone that a gun was shot from that roof.
To begin with, while Robinson may have been on the roof of the building behind the audience, they’ve not presented any evidence he ever shot a gun, let alone that a gun was shot from that roof.
There are a lot of questionable ancillary events and questions that support my position that he is nothing more than a patsy.
Before we get into that, in this day and age it’s necessary to ask if he was the victim of some sort of MKUltra program? If Tyler Robinson dies before he faces trial, then we can be sure he had handlers that helped make this assassination happen and that they didn’t want him to spill the beans in court...
..Then there was the private jet that left the Provo airport and disappeared from aviation tracking. Was the transponder turned off? I’ve not yet looked into this part of the story closely, but apparently the owner of that jet had once been a financial backer of Kirk. Were some of the architects of the assassination making their escape? Who was on that plane? Where did that plane go?

If Tyler Robinson dies before he faces trial, then we can be sure he had handlers that helped make this assassination happen and that they didn’t want him to spill the beans in court...
Then there was the conspicuous retrieval of a scoped, Mauser 30.06 bolt action rifle in the woods near the campus, wrapped in a towel and placed in a cardboard box along with one spent and 3 unspent cartridges, all of which had words scrawled on them...
..One of the big problems with the case against Robinson is, none of the numerous photos released by authorities show him with a rifle...
..There is also the question of what the two guys standing inside the security fence just behind and to the right of Charlie Kirk are doing with their hands. The guy with the white cap and the guy with the dark shirt both seem to be passing hand signals to someone in the back of the venue just before Kirk is shot.....The real shooter could be embedded in any number of other places in the vicinity of the person the authorities want us to think is the shooter (Robinson). If the real shooter is well hidden, he could have shot Kirk with Robinson being close enough to the source of the sound to make people think Robinson was responsible.
Were White Cap and Black Shirt passing hand signals to the real shooter about their patsy being in place, that the real shooter could take the shot? https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/charlie-kirk-martyr

The US power grid is under significant stress due to rapidly increasing electricity demand from AI data centers and electric vehicles, coupled with the retirement of traditional power plants.
Artificial intelligence has unleashed a wave of data center construction. These facilities, dense with high-performance servers and cooling systems, are among the most power-hungry assets in the country. In 2023, AI data centers consumed about 4.4% of U.S. electricity, and that share could triple by 2028, according to Penn State’s Institute of Energy and the Environment.
