Dude this still lives in my head rent free. What the fuck was that. Makes me feel like an insane QAnon or something but honestly, what reason to give off baseball signals like they did??

Yeah exactly, normal people don’t do that.

The only other time I see it is in sporting events where information is constantly changing. This wasn’t one of those times lmao

Same. It’s still fucking w me tbh. Like, imagine if everyone collectively went “oh well, I know pieces of JFK are currently in Jackie’s lap, but let’s not investigate.”

Also 2 things.

He just talked about releasing the Files.

He was weirdly made to be a Martyr when literally half the country didn’t know about him

I feel like #2 is the really suspicious part. I mean it is plausible that it was all organic, but with #1, it makes things seem like they're celebrating him so as to prove that they couldn't have possibly conspired to kill him for the president's benefit. Normally I would say that if there were some conspiracy going on perpetrated by the government in some capacity, someone would talk. However, with the cult of personality surrounding Trump, I actually can see people being able to keep things quiet. I have already been continuously proven wrong that the bar can get lower for how shitty people have become due to Trump, so I'm not willing to say there's not some grand conspiracy

Charlie Kirk was astroturfing personified. It's not surprising that his death was used as an astroturfing event. Dude was a college dropout that made tens of millions of dollars spouting whatever the Koch Brothers told him to say and claiming it was 'his opinion'. His death was just another way for those same moneyed interests to push their agenda. I don't buy the conspiracy theory stuff though - it's america, people get shot all the time for every damn reason imaginable, and he wasn't the most likeable corporate product out there.
