While September will be remembered for many things, like the escalation of the everlasting Middle East conflict, and President Trump’s teleprompter promptly failing to work as he stepped up to address the UN General Assembly; perhaps most outstanding in the month was the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. In the week commemorating the third anniversary of my mom’s passing, Kirk got shot on the afternoon of 10th September at 12:23, which, if you take some time to study it, strangely feels like an uncanny mirroring of John 12:23:
23But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24Most assuredly, I say unto you, unless a grain of seed fall into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
No public figure in recent memory has embodied that scripture, almost to the dot, quite like Charlie Kirk has. In retrospect, it’s possible that the late American commentator’s traditional conservative views and his fame may have caught the most traction in the few weeks since his death than they did during his heyday. If Charlie Kirk’s foes had foreseen that his elimination would’ve proliferated the advancement and glorification of his message rather than silenced it, there’s no doubt they would’ve hired the most fearsome security detail to protect him.
Speaking of God’s wisdom, the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:8, “For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Herein is revealed a profound irony: the rulers who crucified Jesus unwittingly amplified His eternal agenda.
Personally, I didn’t know much about Charlie up until that period during the 2024 US elections. I’m guessing not many outside the US knew him at all. However, since that fateful afternoon, there’s not been a day that I’ve browsed my social media and not come across a Charlie Kirk clip. I recently stumbled upon one where he’s debating an African-American college student on the subject of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)—the veiled and fancy expression for that whole twisted gender stuff.
“You’ve said some very nasty things about me online. The floor is yours!” Charlie remarks to the lad while inviting him to speak. They’ve evidently encountered each other on the inter-webs. The discourse between the two, with heat mostly coming from one end of the podium, goes on for the next 15 minutes in the presence of an audience of thousands of college students, as usual. On multiple occasions, I’m here thinking: this guy’s ability to remain calm and composed while debating people that visibly hate his guts is the sort of patience I need to make it in this life.
Before long, though, the Meta algorithm conveniently reels in another clip where Charlie says, “You heal the country when you allow disagreement and you allow a microphone with people that have different views.” ‘Different views’ is such a modest and conservative way to term people that get totally worked up when expressing their opinions. But, yah, that’s one rare charismatic trait that starkly distinguished Charlie from his harshest critics. Not even the devil can answer that!
Ultimately, this is, and will always be, a war of ideologies and it doesn’t get any more straightforward than Light versus Darkness. Charlie Kirk represented ideals that are deeply rooted in his Christian faith. He particularly focused on mobilizing young college students through debates to counter liberal beliefs like the gender ideology, progressive education, which, again, emphasize concepts like DEI that embed gender identity studies so as to promote odd behavioral orientations.
Like Elon Musk once said, “In order to survive, an ideology that fails to reproduce itself must necessarily infect the minds of the children of those who reproduce. That’s why they push so hard to control education.” By virtue of their choice of unnatural lifestyle, the LGBTQ+ community is incapable of bearing offspring. In that light, their doctrine would run extinct in a short time if they didn’t have young people to propagate their twisted beliefs to the coming generations. This, exactly, is why people like Charlie and his organization are an adversary of the liberal movement and have to be expunged.
However, history has shown that suppressing truth-tellers often fuels their legacy. Jesus’ public execution, naturally intended to extinguish His movement, instead birthed a solid global faith and an eternal mammoth of followers. Similarly, Charlie Kirk’s death has arguably turned him into a martyr for conservatism and, his message, previously somewhat sporadic, is now spreading across the world like a wild fire through social media and other material shared posthumously. His haters have inadvertently drawn more attention to Charlie and everything he represented. Counterproductive, if you asked me!
