BOMBSHELL: Accused Charlie Kirk Assassin Appears to Have Been in Steam Group Called ‘Read This If Your Gay,’ Echoing Message on Bullet Casing, Members Urged Encrypted Cover-Up of Chats RIGHT AFTER Shooting

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appears to have been a member of a bizarre Steam group named “Read This If Your Gay,” a title that eerily mirrors the mocking inscription “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” which was etched on a bullet casing at the crime scene.

Steam is a video game platform that lets you play, discuss, and create games on your computer.

The group’s profile featured cartoonish imagery, including anime-style characters, underscoring the meme-driven world in which Robinson and his associates seem to have operated.

Incredibly, members of the group were issued a frantic warning to switch to encrypted chats just hours after the fatal shooting but before Robinson’s arrest, indicating that they may have had information about the shooter.

A cryptic announcement was posted in the group on September 10 at 11:24 PM, mere hours after Kirk’s shooting, but crucially before Robinson’s arrest.

Penned by a user named “CHERRY SYLVEON,” the message warned: “be careful over sh-t you say online end to end encryption messaging platforms like signal exists for a reason or just use PGP and yes, this is directly referencing a very specific thing that happened.”

Where VPN Demand Surged Due To Internet Blocks In 2025

Violence and chaos have gripped Nepal as protests sparked by the blocking of social media sites spiralled out of control.

The country’s prime minister resigned Tuesday after security forces fired on protestors Monday. Hundreds were injured and at least 22 people died, most by live ammunition. The army assumed control Tuesday night after many government and other buildings were set ablaze by protestors.

Young people were reported to lead the uprising, which was catalized by the attempt to surpress online expression but brought to the surface the population’s deep discontent with issues like corruption, inequality and political participation.

Democracy in Nepal only has a relatively short history and despite the last remnants of its monarchy abolished in 2008, nepotism and deep-seated corruption have continued to rule the country, drawing the ire of the population.

This is especially true for young Nepalese who struggle with finding employment and opportunity. In a country dependent on the remittances of workers abroad, the social media ban has been described as a very strong trigger as it cut off communications with the diaspora.

As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz shows in the chart below, using data from website Top10VPN, Nepal’s social media blocks elicited the most pronounced response in terms of people looking for a way around via VPNs this year.

On September 7, VPN search volume in the country had risen almost 3,000 percent above the previous month’s average – the biggest spike recorded globally this year by the source.

Transgender Social Media Users Posting Hints of Foreknowledge and Suspicious Out-of-State Visitors at Alleged Kirk Assassin’s Home Raise Serious Terror Network Concerns

A neighbor’s eyewitness account of suspicious activity at accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s Utah residence, which he shared with a transgender boyfriend, has raised suspicions about possible involvement from out-of-state radicals.

Robinson is accused of shooting Kirk, 31, moments after the Turning Point USA founder addressed a question on transgender mass shooters.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” leftist attendee Hunter Kozak asked Kirk before the single gunshot that would take his life rang out.

Investigators are now reportedly digging into Robinson’s connections, including his relationship with 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, who is transitioning from male to female and has been cooperating with the FBI.

The pair shared a modest $1,800-a-month townhouse in St. George, Utah, which was raided by law enforcement on Friday.

A neighbor, speaking on condition of anonymity to The New York Post, reported seeing several people driving vehicles with out-of-state license plates entering and exiting the home approximately two weeks before the shooting.

“They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.

According to a report from Axios late Saturday evening, citing six sources familiar with the case, “Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.”

The report states that one of the groups deleted their social media account after the shooting took place.

“It’s pretty clear that Robinson’s roommate knew a lot and didn’t say anything after the killing, so they’re a person of interest officially and are cooperating,” an official told the outlet. “We want to keep it that way.”

“What we want to know is if anyone else had knowledge [of the shooting], before or after,” that source added.

This witness’s comment and Axios report have fueled speculation about whether Robinson was part of a larger network, possibly radicalized by left-wing ideologies, particularly because multiple posts on social media from at least six people involved with the transgender community appeared to boast of advance knowledge of the crime.

Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin Tyler Robinson Joked About FBI Photo Being His ‘Doppelganger’ in 20-Person Discord Chats While on the Run

The accused shooter of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, reportedly joked with friends on Discord about an FBI-released photo of the suspect being his “doppelganger” just hours before his arrest.

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent voice in conservative politics, was fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday while speaking to thousands at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

The Discord exchanges, in a group with 20 people, began after the FBI released grainy images of a lanky, college-aged man in dark clothing during their manhunt, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the killer’s capture.

On Thursday afternoon, one of Robinson’s friends tagged him in a post with the FBI photos, writing “wya” (slang for “where you at?”) alongside a skull emoji. Robinson responded almost immediately, claiming the figure in the image was his “doppelganger” trying to “get me in trouble.”

“Tyler killed Charlie!!!” another user in the chat wrote, according to a report from the New York Times.

Another user exclaimed, “Tyler killed Charlie!!!” while a chat member suggested turning him in for the reward. Robinson replied dismissively, “Only if I get a cut,” using an avatar featuring John Arbuckle from the Garfield comic strip. Friends continued the banter, with one warning, “Whatever you do, don’t go to a McDonald’s anytime soon,” referencing Manhattan CEO killer Luigi Mangione’s arrest at the fast-food chain.

Robinson joked about disposing of a “manifesto and exact copy rifle” and mocked the investigation, insisting the shooter was “CLEARLY” from California and questioning the authenticity of “trans” inscriptions reportedly found on the ammunition.

Kirk’s assassination occurred during the first stop of his “American Comeback Tour,” with Kirk seated under a pop-up tent at the time. The single bullet was fired from about 200 yards away using an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle, which investigators later found wrapped in a towel in a nearby wooded area. Shell casings at the scene were inscribed with messages, including one that read, “Hey fascist! catch!”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, transgender social media users posting hints of foreknowledge and suspicious out-of-state visitors at Robinson’s home have raised serious concerns about a terror network.

A neighbor has reported seeing several people driving vehicles with out-of-state license plates entering and exiting the home approximately two weeks before the shooting.

“They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.

Multiple people fired or on leave over social media posts related to Charlie Kirk assassination

Multiple employees, from teachers to firefighters, have lost their jobs or are on leave due to statements about the death of Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk. 

School employees in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Mississippi and Pennsylvania are currently under investigation for what they wrote on social media regarding Kirk’s death. 

One teacher in South Carolina was fired for a post that read, “Thoughts and prayers to his children but IMHO America became greater today. There I said it,” according to The Hill newspaper.

A teacher in Oregon wrote that Kirk’s assassination “brightened” up his day. 

Kirk was killed at a rally at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Kirk had become one of the most influential voices on the right in recent years, notably founding Turning Point USA, with chapters at universities across the country and hosting speakers’ summits for young conservatives.

The U.S. Secret Service put an agent on leave after he posted on social media that Kirk “spewed hate and racism on his show.”

“Let me be clear, politically motivated attacks in our nation are increasing — seemingly every day,” Secret Service Director Sean Curran said in a statement, according to CBS News. “The men and women of the Secret Service must be focused on being the solution, not adding to the problem.” 

Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn called for the agent, Anthony Pough, to be terminated from his position. 

“As our nation mourns the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, a rogue @SecretService agent posted on Facebook suggesting that he deserved to be murdered,” Blackburn wrote on X. “I am calling for this agent’s immediate termination. It’s time to root out the rot in the Secret Service.”

GOP lawmaker wants lifelong social media ban for leftists gloating over Charlie Kirk’s death

Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins has vowed to get those leftist ghouls who’re celebrating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination permanently banned from social media and cancelled from public life.

“I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” he announced in a post published to X on Thursday.

“If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution… those profiles must come down,” he added.

Higgins continued by vowing to permanently “cancel” from public life the hooligans and miscreants who’ve been celebrating Kirk’s death.

“So, I’m going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER,” he wrote.

“I’m also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I’m starting that today. That is all,” he concluded.

Discord contradicts FBI with mysterious statement about Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s ‘plan’

Discord has denied Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer Tyler Robinson used its platform to formulate his plan to gun down the conservative figure – contradicting comments made by state and federal officials.

The social and gaming platform said in a statement that its servers were in no way involved in Robinson’s alleged plot, nor in any correspondence regarding the hiding of evidence after the fact. 

‘In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord,’ a spokesperson told the outlet.

‘The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages,’ the statement continued. 

‘These were communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.’

Robinson, 22, was turned in by his own father and arrested on Thursday night over the shooting of Kirk, 31, at his ‘American Comeback Tour’ event at Utah Valley University.

Kirk was shot in the neck moments after making comments about mass shootings, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact. He was pronounced dead at hospital.

Robinson’s roommate told police the suspect had discussed the murder weapon and his movements after the killing on an online chatroom, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said Friday.

The Motive for Nepal’s Revolution

The final straw for the revolution in Nepal was the government’s attempt to stifle free speech by banning social media platforms. These events did not take place because a few kids had their tablets taken away. Extreme government corruption ran rampant for years while the elite lived luxurious lifestyles in spite of the people they ruled over. The Nepalese government attempted to prevent the people from freely voicing their growing discontent, and then, when the people attempted to protest, the government murdered over 20 school-aged children in cold blood.

The media has poorly portrayed the cause of events by calling it the “Gen Z” revolution, sparked by a social media ban, which is entirely misleading, as the culprit was corruption and poverty. One in four citizens lives below the poverty line, with the average Nepali earning $1,400 USD annually. The poorest 20% spend around 67% of their income on food, and, much like most nations, in 2025, the majority is struggling to maintain the cost of living.

Calls For Sick Michigan Judge to Resign Intensify After She Makes Mocks Charlie Kirk’s Death on Social Media

When lawfare fails to crush conservatives, the radical left doesn’t stop.

They escalate to inflammatory rhetoric that poisons public discourse and incites violence.

We’ve seen it time and again – from the demonization of President Trump as a “threat to democracy” to the relentless smears against anyone who challenges the radical left agenda.

This dangerous language doesn’t just divide; it dehumanizes, paving the way for tragedy.

And now, in the wake of the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – savagely shot in the neck while speaking in Utah – we’re witnessing the grotesque fruits of this dangerous rhetoric.

Kirk, a fearless voice for young conservatives through Turning Point USA, was gunned down in what Utah Governor Spencer Cox and President Trump rightly called a “political assassination.”

Yet instead of universal condemnation, prominent Michigan liberals are downplaying, justifying, or even celebrating his murder. This isn’t just distasteful; it’s a direct assault on our republic’s foundations and on all Americans.

Let’s be clear: Charlie Kirk wasn’t some fringe figure. He was a close ally of President Trump, a champion of free speech on college campuses, and a thorn in the side of the left’s cultural warriors.

His killing should unite all Americans in horror, regardless of politics. But in Michigan, where extreme liberal elites hold sway in academia, the judiciary, and the legislature, the response has been chilling.

Marco Rubio takes decisive action against foreigners celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Social Media, a firm step against political violence

On September 10, 2025, the conservative world suffered a devastating blow with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the young and charismatic founder of Turning Point USA, during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

The 31-year-old activist, known for his passionate defense of conservative values and close ties to Donald Trump, was struck by a bullet to the neck from a nearby rooftop while addressing thousands of students.

This act of violence has unleashed a wave of outrage, particularly due to the mockery and celebrations that have emerged on social media, a phenomenon that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has decided to confront with a drastic measure.

Rubio announced that he will ban any foreigner who has celebrated Kirk’s assassination online from entering the country, a decision confirmed by Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau in a statement that reverberated on September 11, 2025.

This policy reflects Rubio’s staunch stance against illegal immigration and organized crime, aligning with the Trump administration’s priorities.

The visibly shaken president ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in Kirk’s memory and announced that he will posthumously award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a tribute that underscores Kirk’s importance as a “giant” of his generation, according to Trump’s remarks during a 9/11 commemorative event.
