Charlie Kirk’s Assassin May Be Part of a Larger Left-Wing Terror Effort

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy.

While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern activism.

According to a report from the New York Post, investigators are digging deeper than just the accused shooter; they’re looking at potential ties to radical leftist groups. The probe is targeting both local outfits in Utah and online networks, including users on the gaming platform Steam.

One organization in particular, Armed Queers SLC, is drawing attention after it suddenly pulled its Instagram account following Kirk’s assassination. Officials now want to know: Was this group merely cheering from the sidelines, or did it know more than it’s letting on?

Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.

Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.

Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.

Young America’s Foundation obtained flyers advertising the event, which was hosted in partnership with Mecha de U of U, a group that openly brands itself as a “leftist student organization.” The imagery is straight out of a revolutionary playbook: a young woman in ammo belts holding an AK-47, finger poised on the trigger, framed by a hammer and sickle and a rainbow flag. Across the bottom, the words “agitate, educate, organize” drive home the radical message.

Who are Armed Queers Salt Lake City? Utah-Based Trans Militia Group Under Scrutiny After Deleting Social Media Account on Day of Charlie Kirk Killing

Authorities probing the September 10 assassination of activist Charlie Kirk are reviewing online activity and several left-leaning groups in Utah after at least one organization removed its social-media presence in the immediate aftermath of the killing, sources say.

Among the organizations under review is Armed Queers Salt Lake City (Armed Queers SLC), a Utah-based group that has described itself publicly as training and organizing LGBTQ+ people to defend their communities.

According to archived materials and reporting, the group promoted events in 2023 that featured imagery and rhetoric aligned with radical protest and self-defense themes; a flyer for a September 2023 lecture at the University of Utah included graphic elements such as a rainbow flag, a hammer-and-sickle motif and imagery of ammunition.

In a past interview, a group representative said the organization’s activism was grounded in opposition to racism, transphobia and capitalism and accepted personal risk in service of that mission.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation told investigators that Armed Queers SLC took down at least one social media account on the day of Kirk’s death.

Law-enforcement officials are reviewing whether any individuals or networks connected to the group — or to other online communities, including gaming platforms and social pages — had prior knowledge of or provided material support for the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson.

Federal and state authorities are assisting local investigators in those inquiries.

Investigators have also collected and catalogued a number of social-media posts and accounts that appear to reference Kirk in the days immediately preceding the shooting.

Several of those posts have since been deleted or made private, and investigators are attempting to verify the provenance and authenticity of archived screenshots and reposts being circulated online.

Law-enforcement sources caution that while some social-media material appears ominous, much of it remains unverified and may reflect hyperbolic or copy-and-paste commentary rather than credible threats or direct knowledge of criminal intent.

The probe is also examining potential personal motives.

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.”

FBI Agents Sat on Photo of Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect for 12 Hours Before Briefing Director Kash Patel: Report

FBI agents in Salt Lake City reportedly sat on a crucial photo of the suspected assassin who assassinated Charlie Kirk for nearly 12 hours before sharing it with their boss, Director Kash Patel.

This delay prompted an angry response from Patel, who was incensed that he was not informed more quickly.

Charlie Kirk, the fearless founder of Turning Point USA and a relentless voice against the radical left’s agenda, was murdered in cold blood on Wednesday while addressing thousands of students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Just hours after the assassination, Kash Patel announced that a second person of interest had been taken into custody following Kirk’s murder. Law enforcement at the time claimed the assassin was “dressed in all dark clothing” and fired a single shot “potentially from a roof.”

But hours later, Patel confirmed that the individual questioned had been released after interrogation.

“The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency,” Kash Patel said.

He May Have Pulled The Trigger, But Charlie Kirk’s Suspected Killer Didn’t ‘Act Alone’

fter an intensive, multi-day manhunt, law enforcement officials on Friday said they had taken into custody conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s killer. Police assert 22-year-old Tyler Robinson “acted alone” in assassinating the Turning Point USA founder. 

But did he? 

Authorities said Robinson’s roommate shared with investigators the alleged cold-blooded killer’s communications on messaging app Discord. In them, the suspect discusses “a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.”

At a press conference Friday morning, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said investigators found a Mauser Model 98 .30-06 caliber, bolt-action rifle with a mounted scope in a wooded area on the Utah university campus where Kirk was fatally shot. Cox said the inscription on the fired casing read, “Notices bulges OwO What’s This?” That is apparently a reference to online memes tied to animated videos and “furry culture,” a fetish.  

Two unfired casings found next to the rifle wrapped in a dark towel included separate inscriptions, Cox said: “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,” and “Hey fascist! Catch!” next to arrows pointing up, right, down, down, and down. According to multiple reports, the arrows represent an input code for an airstrike in a multi-person violent video game known as “Helldivers 2.” The code, too, has been used in memes “to signify a devastating reaction to something that should be destroyed,” USA Today reported. 

“Bella Ciao” is an Italian antifascist song.

John Bolton’s personal email account was hacked by foreign entity, FBI docs reveal

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton allegedly used a private email account that was at one point hacked by a “foreign entity,” an FBI search warrant affidavit released Friday revealed. 

The 41-page document –  used by federal investigators to justify the raid of Bolton’s Maryland home last month – suggests the hacking incident gave the FBI reason to believe the former Trump administration official mishandled classified records. 

The Post previously reported that Bolton allegedly used his personal email account to send “highly sensitive” documents to his family while working in the White House.

“Hack of Bolton AOL Account by Foreign Entity,” reads a section of the affidavit, where investigators explained the probable cause for the searches. 

The roughly 10 pages detailing the hacking incident are completely redacted. It’s unclear which foreign nation may have been responsible.

Possible accomplice of Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson probed as footage emerges of suspicious character after shooting

The FBI is investigating whether assassin Tyler Robinson had an accomplice with him when he fired a single, fatal shot at conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. 

Agents are looking into footage showing Robinson, 22, talking into a doorbell camera about the murder shortly after he scampered away from the Losee Center at Utah Valley University.

The footage was turned over to the bureau by university officials themselves from security camera footage.

The Sun reported that the footage shows a man walking by the house, speaking into a cellphone about the murder. 

The FBI is not clear yet whether the man on the video is Robinson or not and the public statements given by officials have all said they believe he acted alone. 

At least one family that lives near the UVU campus was interviewed as part of the investigation. 

When contacted by The Daily Mail, the FBI declined comment.  

Police have evacuated the area around Tyler Robinson’s family home after receiving ‘concerning information’ from the residence.

Russia’s mysterious ‘Doomsday Radio’ broadcasts two new codewords

Russia‘s mysterious ‘Doomsday Radio’ came to life on Monday, sending out two cryptic voice messages to unknown listeners.

The Cold War-era shortwave station has been broadcasting a continuous, monotonous buzzing sound since the 1970s.

Located about 18 miles from Moscow, it is believed to be part of a secret military communications network, possibly even a failsafe linked to Russia’s nuclear command system. 

Today, the usual buzzing was interrupted twice with cryptic messages in Russian, consisting of numbers, names or codewords. 

Among them were ‘NZHTI,’ a call sign the station has used before, and ‘HOTEL,’ along with a string of numbers, 38, 965, 78, 58, 88, 37, which some speculated could represent coordinates. 

A video of the broadcast has flooded social media, where users are fearing ‘something big is happening tonight.’ 

‘Those codewords sound straight out of a Cold War thriller. Who’s listening and why now,’ an X user shared. 

While the broadcasts seem random, some experts believe the Russian government is using the radio station.

Cause of Death Officially Revealed for Biden-Appointed US Attorney Found Dead in Her Home – Had Led High-Profile Investigations Into CIA Leaks and Russian Fraud Cases

The cause of death for a prominent former Biden-appointed US Attorney has been officially released months after her death.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden-era US Attorney Jessica Aber for the Eastern District of Virginia was found dead in her Alexandria, Virginia, back in March.

Aber’s family said she suffered from epilepsy and speculated that she passed away after an epileptic seizure.

However, they were waiting for more information from the medical examiner.

Now, the Alexandria Medical Examiner’s office has ruled that Aber suffered a “sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” while sleeping, confirming the family’s suspicion.

The New York Post points out that it’s unclear why it took so long to confirm Aber’s cause of death, especially since the Alexandria Police Department previously stated that detectives “found no evidence suggesting that her death was caused by anything other than natural causes.” One would think this would have been quickly confirmed.

As The Daily Mail notes, fatal epileptic seizures are rare, but are considered a significant risk for people who suffer from the disorder. Those episodes most often occur when the individuals are asleep, like Aber was

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Alexandria Police responded to the 900 block of Beverley Drive for the report of an unresponsive woman on March 22. Officers located a deceased woman. Following notification of family members, the Alexandria Police Department confirmed that the woman’s identity was that of the 43-year-old Aber.

Aber was known for spearheading high-profile investigations into CIA intelligence leaks, war crime allegations tied to individuals linked with Russia, and suspects involved in transferring sensitive U.S. technology to Moscow.

She was also a lead prosecutor in the high-profile case against a former ABC journalist who went missing after the FBI raided his home and seized his laptop. He pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.

The timing of Aber’s death, just two months after resigning and amid her involvement in sensitive cases, sparked discussion.
