Yesterday Blaze Media (relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey) reported the following:

Turning Point USA spokesman and executive producer of the “Charlie Kirk Show” Andrew Kolvet revealed new details about the shooting that even doctors are calling a miracle. According to Kolvet, the surgeon who operated on Kirk claimed that the high-velocity bullet was powerful enough to kill multiple large animals — and “should have gone through” his body. But for some reason, Kirk’s body was able to stop it.

“I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie,” Kolvet wrote in a post on X.

“The fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know,” Kolvet continued, explaining that he had spoken with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital.

“He said the bullet ‘absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc,’” he recalled.

“But it didn’t go through. Charlie’s body stopped it,” he added.

When he mentioned to the doctor that there were “dozens of staff, students, and special guests standing directly behind Charlie” when he was shot, the doctor reportedly replied, “It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed.”

“His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel,” Kolvet recalls the doctor saying.

This is not a credible statement, and it raises a number of concerns.

It strikes me as very perplexing that a “surgeon operated on Kirk,” because in the video of the shooting, Charlie reacted with a decorticate posture—that is, an abnormal body posture characterized by flexion of the upper limbs—caused by severe trauma to the central nervous system. This indicates that the bullet either directly struck his cervical spinal cord, or the shock wave of the supersonic bullet passing near his spinal cord traumatized it.

A 150-grain, .30-06 bullet’s energy at 150 yards from the muzzle varies by ammunition, but a common hunting cartridge has an estimated value of approximately 1,800-2,000 foot-pounds (with the bullet traveling at about 2500 feet per second). In other words, the .30 caliber (.30 inch diameter) metal projectile struck his neck with sufficient kinetic energy to move a 2,000 pound mass a linear distance of one foot.

If the bullet that struck Charlie’s cervical spinal cord was a .30-06 fired from 150 yards away, it would have:

1). Severed his spinal cord, killing him instantly.

2). Passed through his neck.

Note that the cervical vertebrae are supported by strong muscles and have high compressive strength, but are far too delicate to stop a .30-06 bullet traveling at 2,500 feet per second.

If ALL of the kinetic energy of the bullet was absorbed by Charlie’s neck, it would have done spectacular trauma to his neck, as distinct from producing the clean bullet hole visible in the video footage that ruptured his Carotid artery.

Though I appreciate that some may find a supernatural explanation to be consoling, it seems to me that the investigation should not rest on the this explanation.

As I wrote a few weeks ago: If I were investigating the murder, I would consider the hypothesis that Charlie was shot with a weapon equipped with a suppressor and loaded with a subsonic cartridge to further reduce the sound. I have have fired a .308 caliber rifle with this setup, and the shot was amazingly quiet. The effective range of such a weapon is about 100 yards or less, and the shooter must be very skilled.

However, such a setup could fire a subsonic projectile that would penetrate a human neck without passing through it. In this scenario, the actual assassin (firing the suppressed rifle) hypothetically coordinated the timing of his shot with someone else firing a normal (supersonic and loud) rifle cartridge into the air at the same time to create a distraction or red herring.

In a functioning society in which the people trust their authorities—including their medical examiners—it would be easy to discover what happened and to disclose at least a preliminary report that would satisfy most reasonable people. The trouble our Republic is facing now is that so many of us no longer trust our federal and state authorities to tell us the truth.

For example, we have strong grounds for suspecting that medical examiners are not diligently investigating (with the proper analytic methods) unexpected, fatal cardiac arrests in young people to determine if they were caused by vaccine-induced myocarditis.

For two years, we in the West have been living in the myth that we will bring Russia to its knees and bring Ukraine into the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance. We will try Vladimir Putin and make Russia pay. Today, this myth is colliding with reality: Moscow now possesses devastating weapons, unparalleled in the West. They make any hope of victory for our coalitions impossible. We will have to acknowledge our mistake. This is not about apologizing for our errors, but about freeing ourselves from them.

On October 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chief of Staff, Valery Gerasimov, announced the completion of a project to miniaturize a nuclear reactor and install it on a missile. They reported conducting a test launch of the 9M730 Burevestnik missile, which traveled 14,000 kilometers. The unique feature of this nuclear-powered weapon (which has an unlimited range) is its ability to be guided in such a way as to bypass interceptor sites. This, according to Russian authorities, makes it an unstoppable missile.On October 29, President Putin tested a Status-6 Poseidon torpedo, a nuclear-powered weapon. Throughout the Soviet Union, Eurasian military researchers believed that underwater nuclear explosions could trigger massive tsunamis. To achieve this, they needed to be able to launch torpedoes much farther than was possible at the time, in order to avoid the cataclysms they intended to unleash. This has now been accomplished. Mega-tsunamis could devastate cities like Washington, D.C., or New York City, or even naval groups like those of the U.S. aircraft carriers. However, the Poseidon torpedo is significantly longer than others: 21 meters. It cannot be launched from operational submarines and required its own dedicated vessel for launch. Its ability to operate underwater almost indefinitely more than compensates for this limitation. In any case, this torpedo ensures that Russia can launch a second strike in the event of a US attack. Until now, the first to launch a nuclear strike was guaranteed to cripple its enemy’s main means of retaliation.No weapon is ever truly definitive. Each exists within a continuum of technological advancements; each is superseded by another; and each eventually encounters effective defenses or predators. But for the moment, there seems to be no answer to these weapons, any more than there is to Russian supersonic missiles.In about twenty years, Russia has acquired a whole host of new weapons that surpass all Western technologies.

I explained in “Under Our Eyes” that Russia agreed to come to Syria’s aid in 2012, but only established a presence there at the end of 2015. For nearly three years, it had been determined to develop new weapons and had come to test them in the Levant. I was able to observe that it possessed prodigious capabilities, far surpassing the prowess of the United States during the Cold War. Of course, these weapons, being only prototypes, were extremely rare, but everyone already understood that Western dominance was nothing more than an illusion.

For example, Russia possessed the capability to disconnect NATO orders from its own weapons. This wasn’t a form of jamming; the weapons simply stopped responding to commands. Since some observers doubted its effectiveness, Russia extended this system to all of Syria. And because it operated within a circular area, it partially extended it, for two days, to Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. No civilian aircraft were able to fly. Subsequently, they installed this weapon in Kaliningrad and in the Black Sea.

The Westerners were also testing numerous weapons, such as the tactical atomic bomb that later devastated the port of Beirut.

In 2018, once the Syrian war had ended, President Vladimir Putin presented his weapons program to parliament  [ 1 ] . This program comprised six advanced weapons: the Sarmatian (which leaves the atmosphere, orbits the Earth, and re-enters the atmosphere at will) and Kinzhal (dagger) missiles; the nuclear-powered 9M730 Burevestnik and Status-6 Poseidon launchers; the Avantgarde missiles, which combine the characteristics of the Sarmatian and Kinzhal missiles with added maneuverability; and finally, anti-missile lasers. Only the latter are not yet complete.

What were only prototypes in the 2010s became operational and were mass-produced during the war in Ukraine.

The Western response was almost inaudible. Only US President Donald Trump spoke out. He regretted that his Russian counterpart had seen fit to reveal his exploits because, in doing so, he was reigniting the arms race. Furthermore, he announced that the United States was resuming its nuclear tests. Donald Trump could hardly do otherwise: deploring Russia’s renewed arms race is a way of explaining that the Pentagon’s military research is lagging far behind and of asserting Washington’s peaceful stance. Announcing that he will resume nuclear tests is a way of shifting the focus, since none of the new Russian weapons represent an advance in nuclear terms, but only in terms of atomic bomb launchers. To say that he will do this to maintain parity with Russia and China is a blatant lie: Russia has not conducted nuclear tests since 1990 and China since 1996. Moreover, it will take at least two years to rebuild or rehabilitate Cold War-era facilities, and therefore to begin these tests. Until then, the United States is nothing more than a “paper tiger.”

We are now reaching the end of hostilities in Ukraine. The Russian army is on the verge of a decisive victory in the Donbas. It will not only capture Pokrovsk, but will also inflict a third defeat on the White Führer, Andriy Biletsky, whose 10,000 men are surrounded. He was in command at the Battle of Mariupol with the Azov Regiment, the spearhead of the “integral nationalists.” He also commanded the Battle of Bakhmut, at the head of the 3rd Assault Brigade. And he was still directing the fighting in the Donbas with the 3rd Army Corps. It is unlikely that the Ukrainians will continue to follow him after this succession of massacres and defeats.

However, the primary objective of the special operation remains the elimination of neo-Nazis. Furthermore, on October 20th, Russia informed the United States that it had no intention of yielding on territorial concessions, the reduction of the Ukrainian armed forces, or guarantees that Ukraine would never join NATO.

Whether the West likes it or not, it no longer has a choice. It simply cannot afford to continue supplying weapons to Russia in Ukraine on its own. The EU’s plan to eventually confiscate Russian assets frozen in Belgium and spend them immediately could spell the end of the Union. In any case, neither Belgium, nor Slovakia, nor Hungary will participate in this theft, which even the Soviets, the staunch opponents of private property, never perpetrated.

The EU’s grandiose ambitions are about to collide with reality: it can only continue this war by betraying the very ideals it claims to uphold. Moreover, it has already descended into delusion by feigning ignorance of the fact that the Russian special operation is not a war of invasion against Ukraine, but the implementation of Security Council Resolution 2202. It has convinced itself that it will make Russia pay for the crimes committed or provoked by the West in Ukraine and that it will try and convict Vladimir Putin. Similarly, in the 2010s, it convinced itself that it would force Syria to capitulate and try and convict President Bashar al-Assad and the entire Ba’ath Party  [ 2 ] .

All of this is coming to an end, otherwise the EU will be directly drawn into the war against the Slavs that the UK and Germany instigated in 1933: the Second World War. And the EU’s armies, stripped of their arsenals, have no hope of resisting for more than two days. This is not about bowing down to a new master, Russia, but simply about acknowledging our mistakes before it’s too late.

Donald Trump will host Al Qaeda linked terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House next week.  After decades of effort, the US national security state finally facilitated the fall of the Arab nationalist Syrian government last year, which was replaced by a Salafist regime headed by al-Sharaa.

In 2012, the US intelligence community welcomed the rise of ISIS in eastern Syria because they could use ISIS to undermine the Syrian government.  The US used the presence of ISIS as a pretext to illegally occupy Syria and plunder its oil.  The CIA also armed Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists so they could fight against the Syrian government.

Since taking power, the new Salafist regime has carried out pogroms against religious minorities such as Alawites and Christians and has positioned itself in opposition to Iran and Hezbollah, which are enemies of the US and its key allies such as Saudi Arabia and Israel.

If Al Qaeda attacked the United States on 9/11 because they hated freedom, then why does the US national security state support Salafist terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS, while overthrowing secular Arab nationalist regimes in Iraq, Syria, and Libya that are diametrically opposed to Salafism?

The Meaning of MAGA

To Robert F. Kennedy Jr., MAGA means aligning his political and health agenda with Donald Trump’s movement, which he has embraced by taking on a key cabinet role in the “Make America Great Again” MAGA / “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) coalition. His approach frames MAGA as a vehicle for his health-focused policies, which include combating chronic disease through dietary changes and opposing what he views as harmful corporate influence in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Make America Healthy Again (MAHA): Kennedy has adopted the slogan “Make America Healthy Again” as a health-focused reinterpretation of Trump’s MAGA slogan.

Health-centered agenda: He is the chair of the “Make America Healthy Again” commission, which aims to tackle chronic diseases and reform the food and drug industries.

Alliance with Trump: Kennedy has embraced the MAGA movement and is a powerful figure in the Trump administration, overseeing controversial actions related to public health and policy.

Policy focus: His policies include using the power of his commission to investigate the links between processed foods, pesticides, and chronic disease, and pushing for legislative changes to ensure food companies negotiate with him.

It is the insanity of US foreign policy in a nutshell that self-styled Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa is to be welcomed to the White House. Just before his (US-aided) rise to power in Syria last year he was head of the local al-Qaeda branch in Syria. Before that he worked with al-Qaeda in Iraq and is responsible for the death of numerous US service members.

Apart from his starring role in organizing mass murder in the Middle East and elsewhere as defense secretary and vice president, the one thing Cheney will most be remembered for is of course shooting his hunting partner in the face with a 12 gauge shotgun during a pheasant hunt.

He did make a contribution to business culture, however. During the Bush campaign he was appointed chairman of the vice presidential search committee. After a long and arduous search, reportedly leaving no stone unturned, Dick decided that he himself was the best candidate. They’re probably already teaching this tactic in Executive MBA programs.

Defend America First! No New Foreign Wars!

“Do Not Go Abroad In Search of Monsters To Destroy” – John Quincy Adams (Robert Barnes’ Distant Ancestor)

The phrase “do not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy” is a quote from an 1821 speech by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams arguing against intervention in foreign conflicts.

He stated that while the U.S. would be a “well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all,” it should only be the “champion and vindicator of only her own”. This line is often cited by those advocating for a more restrained foreign policy.

Adams believed the U.S. should focus on its own security and interests and be a model of liberty, rather than acting as an international police force. He was specifically addressing the U.S. role in the Latin American wars for independence at the time.
