Charlie Kirk boldly went where no conservative had gone before—college campuses—arming a generation with love of country, free markets, and the Constitution.

Since the days when Captain Kirk set out on Star Trek to discover strange new worlds, the university system of this country has been largely under the control of the Democrat Party, whose socialist ideology has crowded out any positive mention of the glories of our nation. So, when Charlie Kirk dared to boldly go to universities where no other conservatives dared to go, he did so as a seemingly alien life form.

After all, Mr. Kirk was very candid and joyful as he bravely voiced his love of God, of family, and of country—subjects that are poison on our college campuses today. But Mr. Kirk did more: he professed that America is not an awful, evil nation born in sin and in need of redemption. Mr. Kirk, though not as learned as some professors, educated himself with the knowledge that the Civil War in the United States was won through the loss of 1,000,000 casualties and that the example of our nation being a liberating force took our troops on further sacrifices around the earth as a liberator of nations ever since.

Mr. Kirk’s alien presence on campuses was further made obvious by the arguments he made, boldly declaring to awestruck students and horrified professors that limited government and free enterprise are beneficial for everybody. Such professions today on college campuses are indeed the stuff of an alien language.

Mr. Kirk did more to alienate the intelligentsia and socialists of the United States—he engaged in discourse: “a communication of thoughts by words; expression of ideas; conversation.” Discourse was the means developed by the Athenian philosophers to arrive at the best ideas in thought or in governance. That method of arriving at the very best ideas was used as the foundation for the formation of our Constitution, whereby 55 representatives of 13 new states and their peoples debated and devised the best method of governance that did not involve self-will, force, or coercion. Under our Constitution, every idea is debatable, and every conclusion is voluntarily arrived at… Let the best idea win… and be voted in… peacefully.

Charlie Kirk demonstrated the greatness of the American Republic by teaching the methods of discourse necessary to a government of the people, through the people’s representatives. It was our Constitution, so foreign a composition to most university professors, that Mr. Kirk dedicated his life to and sacrificed it to educate the youth of our country as to the glory of that document and the means whereby it was arrived at. Mr. Kirk taught the youth of this nation that they should revel in that document and that they could believe in and love their country too…

Charlie Kirk did more than boldly go where few other conservatives would dare to go… He colonized high school and university campuses with over 3,500 new chapters of Turning Point USA, involving 250,000 members in its ranks.

Socialists don’t easily suffer such a loss of territory.

Which brings us to another education our nation has lacked since Star Trek was originally on the air.

Something never taught by university professors these days is facts right in front of their faces. From Lenin to Stalin, from Mussolini to Hitler, from Castro to Maduro, from Putin to Jianping: if socialists do not succeed in tyrannically imposing their will politically or economically or judicially, they do so violently and kill anyone or anything that is in their way. That is how they gain power. That is how they maintain power.

Therefore, Charlie Kirk’s assassination must be viewed in a now crowded continuum of events that began during the Obama administration, when Charlie founded Turning Point USA as a response to the Obama administration’s attacks on the Tea Party movement. The response to the Russia Hoax to the Clinton election loss of 2016 is another part of the continuum and cost Republicans control of Congress in 2018. The burning and looting of hundreds of cities in 2020, and the takeover of the economy by the HHS in answer to COVID, along with changes in voting laws, were all intended to derail a second Trump electoral victory in 2020 and formed another part of this series of socialist responses to electoral frustrations.

The creations of DEI, ESG, CRT, and the global climate “crisis” were socialist inventions to indoctrinate the young and old and take permanent control of government, of the economy, and of its capital flows: in other words, to end capitalism without a vote and condemn anyone in Trump’s camp by attacking them culturally, judicially, and economically, along with anyone who raised a voice for free expression, free governance, or free markets.

So, when Trump was gaining momentum towards a second (or third) election victory in 2024, he too was almost assassinated twice. It may be said that the turn of Trump’s head saved a nation.

Charlie Kirk’s youth movement was a key to getting Trump elected. Given Kirk’s exposition of unrelenting energy, it may be said that Kirk’s turning of the university vote saved a nation.

Charlie could not turn his head in time to save himself from a fatal bullet, but he did show us that here on earth, we need to turn our heads and view the facts of the moving continuum of catastrophe that our universities are causing as they lie about our nation’s founding and entirely ignore socialism’s historically vicious, tyrannical, and lethal methods.
