Sanctified: Martyring Charlie Kirk

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the U.S. federal government is openly engaging in an unconstitutional criminal conspiracy to persecute, dismantle and disenfranchise its political opposition with the clear goal of making future elections a foregone conclusion. If successful, it is a crime that would make January 6th pale in comparison—and would undoubtedly signal the end of American experiment.

The conspiracy is not a theory. It is a government-stated set of objectives, motivations, and actions—an open abuse of power with a single obvious purpose: one-party rule in America.

We have arrived at our Reichstag Moment. What we do is up to us.

Martyr to Mandate

Here are the five pillars of the Trump regime’s new doctrine:

Sanctify Charlie Kirk as a martyr. Kirk’s murder was a perfect flashpoint for the Trump regime to turn its narrative of white, Christian, male persecution into a war cry against Democrats. Kirk is no longer a racist, misogynist podcaster; he is a slain Christian crusader. (“See you in Valhalla”)

DARVO Kirk’s murder. Within hours, Trump blamed Kirk’s murder on the “radical left” with no evidence. This is the abuser’s favorite tactic—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender. Never admit you were wrong. Always blame your own victims. This has not relented in this case in spite of facts that contradict the narrative.

Expand the enemy to Democrats. While Trump initially blamed the “radical left” and many of the initial actions are aimed at scapegoats like “Antifa” and transgender people, the rhetoric is far more broadly aimed at “Democrats,” “the left” and liberals.

Convert outrage to quasi-legal machinery. While continuously applying rhetoric designed to dehumanize political enemies as “violent terrorists,” the regime promises to abuse powers such as RICO, conspiracy, and insurrection against increasingly broad categories of people.

Use emergency powers to complete a de facto coup. The regime will weaponize unrest caused by its own violence and oppression to unconstitutionally seize more power through declaring emergencies, expand the militarization of blue cities, and ensure that mid-term elections are either meaningless or “postponed.”

Each part of this plan has been either openly promised, or heavily implied in public statements by Trump or his closest advisors in the last few days. There has been no deviation from their pre-determined narrative.

Legally Shackling the Bill of Rights

The Trump regime is already systematically dismantling the Bill of Rights, but the plan to weaponize Charlie Kirk’s murder may be the wedge that renders the Constitution inoperable. It is a direct attack on the cornerstone of American liberty, the First Amendment. Freedom of and from religion, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble and petition the government, and especially freedom of speech are all targets of the doctrine.

Based on the plain language of the top officials in the Trump regime here are a few of the ways they will abuse federal power to take away the First Amendment rights of their political opponents. These are named legal statutes, not hypotheticals.

  • Criminal codes:
    • RICO applied to protest logistics, campus coalitions, and GOTV networks.
    • Conspiracy (§371), seditious conspiracy (§2384) framed around communications and planning.
    • Anti-Riot Act (§2101) and obstruction charges as needed.
  • Financial choke points:
    • Civil/administrative forfeiture, asset freezes, donor-list subpoenas.
    • Bank de-risking triggered by adjacency to “domestic terrorism.”
  • Surveillance and designations by memo:
    • Expanded Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) activity; agency guidance that creates de-facto domestic lists without a statutory “designation.”
  • Administrative pressure:
    • Grant conditions (crime, DHS, education) tied to compliance with “anti-terrorism” guidelines and cooperation with ICE/JTTF.
    • Probes of universities; threats to funding to suppress youth organizing.
  • Federal presence in cities (esp. D.C.):
    • 40 U.S.C. §1315 cross-agency deployments; National Guard in D.C.; crowd-control zones and curfews framed as “election security.”
  • Platform leverage:
    • Hearings and threats to push broad “anti-doxxing/violence/terrorism” policies by social media and content providers that disrupt online GOTV, surveil and suppress protests, and selectively target journalist accounts.
  • Emergency power:
    • Numerous pathways are in place for Trump to use emergency powers which allow him to implement partial or total martial law.
