Across the US, Britain and Europe, governments are moving toward war nuclear conflict. They’ve even updated nuclear doctrines, because they know fully well it’s coming.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
But every major party is aligned on foreign policy. Just like some higher secret group has always decided and our leaders have no choice other than to go along.
So voting alone will not stop it.
And violent revolution is not the answer, as its horror followed by terror, and when the smoke clears they will have won anyway.
But here’s the thing: no war can be fought without our cooperation.
They need us: they need our consent, our money, our votes by most of all they need our labour.
Ordinary people in every country need to be organising to withdraw all four, peacefully and lawfully, before it is too late.
But time really is running out, as three major events are racing towards and will impact any minute now if we continue to do nothing. All out Nuclear war, AGI and advanced robotics.
We need to act fast. Each nation needs to run its own movement.
We share one idea and one day, and we bring the insanity to an end. Together. Peacefully.
Who’s in?

I remember when we shot this, I was watching Charlie step into who he always was meant to be
The unifier of my generation. The hope for a new future
A President not defined by party ties, but by love of country and faith first
And then, it all ended…

“It doesn’t matter, because in the end we’re all dead anyway”.
The quite shocking revelation of what Trump said to Tucker Carlson when Tucker told him what he believed Israel’s aims are with the getting the US to fight the Iran war on their behalf.
Tucker said they’re aims are:
1. Israel’s regional hegemony
2. Wreck the GCC
3. Destroy US military bases and US influence in the Middle East
(NB: Just to be clear in case anyone doesn’t fully understand the implications of those three objectives being fulfilled. That’s the end of the Pax American, the end of the dollar, and the beginning of WWIII).
Trump’s reply?
“Yes, you’re right. But in the end we all die anyway. So it doesn’t matter.”
We have a nihilist in the Oval Office. He’s given up fighting for the US, if indeed he ever tried.
It’s now officially time to be very very concerned.

These two texts below are interesting as they document the exact date — December 2018 — that Charlie and Candace, Irina @ImMappin and I discussed the idea of creating his and Turning Point’s own media platform.
You will note that this was just hours after Charlie had decided to suggest that George Farmer, with whom we were all newly acquainted, become Chairman of Turning Point UK.
Charlie believed in sovereignty and sovereign beings making self-determined choices for themselves.
He believed in multipolarity as an extension of God’s grace in granting us free will. He championed multipolarity for individuals, groups and nation states.
Charlie was one of the great pioneers of multipolar philosophy.
The Charlie Kirk Show and his international media platform — which we originally discussed in concept, helped with initial funding, and designed together — was intended to give him the profits he would need to run for President in the future, which we were already discussing in December 2018.
It emerged from discussions between Charlie, Candace and ourselves in London and before. Discussions about meeting had been ongoing from early 2018, a few days after Kanye tweeted that he liked the way Candace Owens thinks.
We originated the idea of a totally free-speech media platform with massive international reach as a tool to protect free speech and the Constitution from inside and outside America. It was also designed to protect Turning Point and Charlie’s ideas.
Charlie and Candace were both aware of the internal threats to freedom inside the USA.
They needed a counter-weapon to the enemy’s black propaganda and MK-Ultra psych methods.
Charlie also shared this very concept that we discussed in London with President Trump and, thanks to Charlie, that concept then later became Truth Social.
It took Charlie a lot of work to get the concept over to Trump. We warned the President back then that dark and suppressive forces would cut his communication lines and attempt to destroy his plans. He did not believe it was possible.
We told him that he needed his own secure, safe portal.
It was possible. And it happened.
The President was banned from Twitter two years after these texts.
The ban hit Trump hard.
That’s what Charlie built. He built his media platform much faster than Trump built his, and he worked very hard on it.
Charlie’s media platform ended up saving Trump’s political future.
——
When Charlie came to London in May 2025, he told me that the existing structures were going to be changed and that several of the people who now use his platform for their own agenda would shortly be replaced.
He was so frustrated by one of his staff there at tea time that he suggested we walk privately so that we would not have to deal with his foolishness.
Which we did. And we covered a lot of ground.
Candace and Charlie were the intellectual cornerstones of Turning Point. The combination of their intellects was unlike anything seen before in US politics.
As Candace was naturally part of the founding conversation concerning Charlie’s media platform that became the Charlie Kirk show, it is quite acceptable that she would have something to say now.
Certainly, the idea that views at odds with Charlie’s vision would now be broadcast by those occupying his platform — people he was planning to replace had he lived — is shady beyond even the shadiest levels of shady.
Freedom is important.
Keep freedom free.
GREEDOM… well, that’s a different paradigm altogether, and it will enslave a mind and a spirit faster than you can say Jiminy Cricket.
Let your conscience be your guide.
I hope you find these communications of historical interest.
This was the conceptual source of The Charlie Kirk Show and Truth Social, and the very moment of their genesis.
It was our honour to help.
All our love,
John and Irina

Thank you, Tucker Carlson for calling out Turning Point’s Chief Parasite. Blake Neff only knew Charlie for a year and a half, yet he pretends that he was the closest person to him and hilariously grants himself authority to manage Charlie’s legacy.
Blake had nothing to do with Turning Point USA’s story. He got through the door on a personal favor—out of Charlie’s distinct loyalty to Tucker Carlson.
Charlie would have never wanted a spineless dweeb like @BlakeSNeff to take over his show, with the obvious intent of reversing virtually all of Charlie’s documented positions across various topics and people.
Blake is little more than a perfidious online troll, and his undue nastiness toward Tucker (who quite literally got him the job) is proof that he would betray anyone to advance his own goals.
Blake is rot to any organization. If these people had any sense of respect, they would shutter Charlie’s program and begin their own.

The students were forced to attend this event as a school assembly. They could not opt out.
The parents were informed they were not allowed to attend alongside with them.
It is insane to me that you have administrations forcing events on underage kids and then are trying to spin it to the public as successful club growth.
500+ OUTSTANDING high school students attended the @TPUSA Club America Tour Stop at Nampa Christian School this morning! 🔥
@MrsErikaKirk delivered a powerful message to this generation of America First leaders. The future is bright! 🇺🇸
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nampa Christian Schools has ~265 students in grades 9-12 out of 1,053 total, so 500+ high school attendees is impossible. The gathering was a mandatory assembly, not a voluntary Club America event.

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.
How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.
Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.
An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.
For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.
It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.
By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.
So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.
How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.
At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.
It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

Part 2
Candace @RealCandaceO is not necessarily standing opposite Erika.
She may, in the deepest sense, be standing for her.
She may be carrying a burden which Erika, for perfectly understandable reasons, cannot presently carry herself: the burden of relentless inquiry.
“Bear ye one another’s burdens,” writes St Paul, “and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
Sometimes carrying another person’s burden means consoling them.
But sometimes it means doing something much harder.
Looking where they cannot look.
Asking what they cannot ask.
Going where grief, circumstance or responsibility prevents them from going.
And accepting the hostility which comes with doing so.
This is why I believe it is inadequate to describe Candace merely as a critic.
A critic comments from the sidelines.
Candace sees herself, rather, as having an obligation.
Her purpose is testimony.
She is bearing witness to the conviction that Charlie mattered, that the truth about his death matters, and that friendship does not expire at the grave.
And she is prepared to pay a price for that conviction.
There is something profoundly Christian in this.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
There are many things short of life itself which a person can lay down.
Reputation.
Comfort.
Popularity.
Friendships.
The approval of one’s own tribe.
The luxury of remaining silent.
Sacrificial love begins wherever somebody willingly accepts a cost for the good of another.
And this, finally, is how I understand Candace’s purpose.
To honour Charlie through truth.
To serve the living by bringing what can be known into the light.
To refuse the comfortable silence which would require her to betray her conscience.
And, ultimately, to trust the profoundly Christian proposition that nobody who genuinely loves another person need ever fear the truth.
That is why criticism of Erika, when it occurs, should not be mistaken for Candace’s destination.
Erika is not the destination.
Vindication is not the destination.
Controversy is certainly not the destination.
Truth is the destination.
And if Candace is prepared to endure misunderstanding, hostility and personal cost in order to reach it, then what we are watching may be considerably more than journalism or commentary.
It may be vocation.
It may be service.
It may, in the oldest and most demanding Christian sense of the words, be an act of love.

The Most Difficult Kind of Love
By John Mappin | IF Magazine
There is a peculiar modern belief that love requires silence.
If you love someone, apparently, you must never contradict them. Never ask the uncomfortable question. Never disturb the convenient consensus. The loving friend nods sympathetically; the troublesome friend insists upon knowing what actually happened.
It is a wonderfully comfortable doctrine.
It is also not Christianity.
Christian love — agape — is something altogether more formidable. It is not mere affection, nor politeness, nor the avoidance of offence. It is the willing of the true good of another human being, irrespective of the cost to oneself.
And Christianity makes an extraordinary claim about that good:
It cannot ultimately be separated from truth.
St Paul could hardly have put it more precisely: love “rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.”
That, I believe, is the proper Christian lens through which to understand what Candace Owens @RealCandaceO is doing.
Her purpose, as I understand it, is more precise than simply “asking questions.”
It is to establish the truth about the death of Charlie Kirk wherever she believes that truth remains incomplete, obscured or unresolved; to honour the obligation she feels towards her dead friend; and, by bringing what is hidden into the light, to serve the living people who remain behind.
That is the purpose.
Her criticism of Erika, where it occurs, is not the purpose. It is incidental to it.
This distinction is absolutely essential.
Candace is not pursuing Erika. She is pursuing truth. If that pursuit sometimes requires her to challenge something Erika has said, believed or been told, then the challenge is a consequence of the mission, not its object.
And that mission is, at its heart, one of fidelity.
Fidelity to Charlie.
Fidelity to conscience.
Fidelity to the proposition that the truth about a human life does not cease to matter when that life ends.
Candace loved Charlie Kirk. Death does not cancel the obligations of friendship. In the Christian understanding, it deepens them.
She cannot now protect Charlie in the ordinary sense. She cannot telephone him, counsel him, warn him or stand beside him.
But she can refuse to permit unanswered questions concerning his death simply to disappear into the fog of public memory.
She can remember.
She can investigate.
She can speak.
And she can insist that what is true matters more than what is convenient.
This is where her purpose becomes unmistakably Christian in character.
Christianity is a religion of revelation. Its movement is perpetually from concealment towards disclosure, from darkness towards light.
“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,” says Christ, “neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”
Candace’s purpose, understood in its highest form, is precisely this movement towards the light.
Not to manufacture a predetermined answer.
Not to condemn somebody in advance.
But to bring everything that can be known into the light and allow truth to reveal itself.
That is very different from accusation.
It is discernment.
And Christian discernment is not passive.
The command to “prove all things; hold fast that which is good” requires examination. It requires discrimination. It requires the courage to distinguish what merely appears to be true from what actually is true.
That process can be uncomfortable.
It can even wound.
But Scripture has a phrase for this too: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.”
This becomes particularly important when we consider Erika.
If Candace believes Erika herself may not possess the whole truth about circumstances surrounding Charlie’s death, then Candace’s purpose is not ultimately to defeat Erika in an argument.
It is to discover whatever truth Erika herself deserves to know.
That completely changes the moral geometry.

This is my letter to Charlie.
Today shouldn’t be about disagreements, arguments, or the things that divide us. Today should be about remembering Charlie, honoring his life, and reflecting on the impact he had on so many people.
I hope today we can flood X with kind words, memories, stories, and the ways Charlie positively impacted our lives and the world around him.
Whatever differences we may have, today is a day to remember the person we lost and the legacy he left behind.
Here’s my letter to Charlie:
Dear Charlie,
I could have never imagined when I woke up on September 10, 2025, that by 12:23 that afternoon, you would be taken from this world.
And now exactly one year later, I find myself writing this letter to you, trying to put into words what you meant to me, the impact you had on my life, and why I continue to fight for justice for you every single day.
The crazy thing is... I almost went to UVU that day. I ultimately decided not to because I had too many work meetings. For a long time I wondered whether I regretted that decision. But I think I’ve come to realize that witnessing what happened to you in person would have been one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.
September 10th was already one of the hardest days I have ever experienced. When a friend texted me that you had been hit, I couldn’t believe it. Then I saw the video and I absolutely lost it.
I am a Christian, but I had never before gotten down on my hands and knees and prayed to God with that kind of desperation. I begged Him not to take you. I remember feeling like the world would never be the same without you in it. And I was correct.
I thought about your family, your friends, your employees, and all of the people whose lives you had touched. It felt impossible to understand how something so horrific could happen to someone who had spent his life trying to make a difference.
I had supported you for years. When I lived in Arizona, I came incredibly close to leaving my job to work for Turning Point USA. I interviewed for a position but ultimately decided I would rather support the organization from the sidelines. Looking back, I believe that was the right decision for me.
You were also the reason I joined the Arizona Young Republicans. And ironically, the journey you helped start eventually led me to stop defining myself strictly as a Republican and to begin questioning institutions and thinking for myself.
Meeting you in person is something I will never forget. When you followed me on Instagram, it absolutely made my day. I listened to your podcast constantly and shared my favorite episodes and clips on my stories. Whenever you liked or responded to something I posted, it meant more to me than you probably ever knew.
In a strange way you felt like a friend. But I think that was one of your greatest gifts. You had a way of making people feel seen and heard. You genuinely cared about people, you genuinely cared about your country, and your faith was at the center of your life.
I looked up to you for far more than politics. I admired your intelligence, your confidence, and your ability to captivate a room. But even more than that, I admired the person I believed you were. I looked to you as an example of how to stand firm in your beliefs, live out your faith, and have the courage to say what you believe is right.
You were a light in a very dark world. Your death changed so much. It brought people closer to God. It caused people to ask difficult questions. And for me personally, it changed the direction of my life in ways I could have never imagined.
A year later I still think about you. I still miss hearing your voice and your perspective. And I still think about how much more you had left to do.
I don’t know where this journey will take me, but I do know this… I will never stop searching for the truth. I will never stop asking questions. And I will never stop seeking justice for you.
Thank you for inspiring me long before September 10th, and for continuing to inspire me even after you are gone.
You will never be forgotten.
Until we meet again in Heaven, Charlie 🤍

Clearly he watched different footage than was released to the public. When was that footage taken? Same time Charlie appointed Erika as CEO maybe?
I’m sure it will be submitted as evidence either way, because we should just trust mister “my body cam died on the roof of the Losee Center.”

This is such a powerful video.
“Israel says.”
Imagine this happening to your people.
Again and again.
The slaughter of your neighbours, friends, loved ones, family, children; for no reason other than that your people are regarded as animals; while Israel works to corral you into an ever smaller zone, killing many of you as they do so, with the intention of erasing you or terrorising you from your homeland so they can take it for themselves.
Your government does nothing. They just pose for photographs with the killers.
The international community does nothing. They just go and kiss their sacred wall.
Almost no one speaks of the blood or the suffering.
Just silence.
And when someone finally does speak, they are sanctioned, deported, fired, ruined and often they’re even killed.
The media, instead of reporting the facts in good faith, asks the perpetrators for comment and repeats it as the official story.
Now, I know is difficult, but try to imagine a man breaks into your house at night; he beats you, then murders your wife and child in front of you, and leaves you unconscious in a pool of blood.
The police don’t arrest him.
Instead they sit him down, offer him a cup of tea, and ask him calmly what happened.
Then they go on television and present his version as the official story, while you are left alone with the aftermath and told to stop causing trouble.
One day this will be all of us.
One day soon, we will all be Palestinians.
It IS coming. Unless we stop it.

Iran Lego - Mother’s Tears.
Powerful!
This is honestly one of the most powerful music videos I have ever seen.
Yes, it is AI. But if it had been released by one of the current biggest stars manufactured and controlled by Hollywood executives, it would be Grammy-winning (or whatever the highest accolade in the music industry is these days).
It speaks truth. Human truths we all understand if we are given half a chance. Instead we are lied to. Told that these people are our mortal enemy, and that dead Iranian children are just collateral damage.
If you listen to the words (like really listen) and allow yourself, even for a moment, to remember that these are people (living, breathing, feeling people) it should hit you right in the bottom of the throat.
It paints the Iranians as the fellow humans they so obviously are, the very thing the propaganda machine would rather we forget.
It is the story of mothers’ tears. Mother’s tears for Iranian children, and mother’s tears for the American servicemen fighting wars of aggression on behalf of Israel.
No soft language. No patriotic gloss. Just the human cost staring back at us from the screen.
It speaks about how Iranians love American culture (the music, the movies, the TV shows) and how that culture is as much a part of them as it is of the American people.
That part really resonated with me.
I run a business based in London that operates across the Middle East. These are some of the kindest people I have ever known, and they have faced endless hardship at the hands of US foreign policy conducted on behalf of Israel.
Right now the future of everything they have built (families, homes, businesses) is uncertain. They know it. They feel it. And yet they still dream of one day seeing the Empire State Building. Their children listen to Taylor Swift. And every Saturday they queue at the cinemas to watch the latest American blockbuster (with the swearing, sexual references, violence and sex carefully edited out, and rightly so) as a family.
I know they grow up loving America, imagining they might one day be Spider-Man, longing to visit Disneyland, or when they are older they dream of one day walking on 5th Avenue or through Central Park, because we all do. The whole world does.
At a deeper level we do not truly separate Americans from ourselves. We absorb you into our own identities. And that is just as true in the Middle East, and it must be true in Iran.
That was the saddest part, for me. Somewhere there are children and grown ups alike quietly wondering what they could possibly have done to deserve being reduced to little more than collateral damage.
