I had just finished reading an article by the founder of Gab, Andrew Torba, when I heard that Charlie Kirk had been shot. Just a little later came a video of the event showing that the bullet must have hit an artery. And only a little while after that came the expected news that Charlie Kirk had died.

What is the connection between this killing and the Andrew Torba article? Torba was writing in response to another death – that of the young Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, senselessly murdered on public transport by a many-times-arrested and released schizophrenic who should never have been allowed out on the streets.

That article is a fierce denunciation of the media and their role in creating what Torba calls “cultivated hate”. The media has been gaslighting those with ideas similar to ours for years, and it is clear that the time is long overdue that the spotlight falls on them for the consciously-inflicted damage that they are doing to the fabric of society.

I am not going to dwell on the elements of racial hatred that were shown up in Iryna Zarutska death. But Kirk was killed by a white man. Colour may play a role in some of these violent events, but it is only one of the triggers. We need to call out the way certain players in contemporary life are wilfully bringing about the situations that lead to murder.

Iryna’s murderer, according to his sister, heard voices in his head, impelling him to come up from behind her with the knife. Many of us know the role that voice-to-skull technology creates in many such similar senseless crimes. The people who bring this about should not be able to go on doing it.

There are forces at work in our society that are deliberately destroying this society. Evil is that which works in darkness; it does not want to be seen. Do we go on acting as if we are ignorant of what is being consciously wielded against ordinary people today, or do we identify that evil and shine the spotlight onto those profiting from it?

Charlie Kirk was the voice of rationality. I do not agree with all his views – he had some blind spots, in my opinion, but we need to look past those things that we differ on. The great thing about him was his passion for the truth and his love that people should know it. He made it his business to go onto college campuses and question the ridiculous assumptions that many of the brainwashed students there were living with. This made him a persona non grata at many American colleges because, when he had finished dealing with some fervent idealogue spouting the fake science of climate change or the fake repentance of being white, that person’s argument was lying in tatters and the person looked ridiculous. He destroyed the argument with chivalry, and you felt he was doing it for the good of the one with whom he had been disputing. Kirk was a warrior for truth, and he made it is business to call out falsehood.

Ordinary people in New Zealand are chock-full of mass-induced lies. One who has been convinced that we are destroying our planet through preventable human actions is easily steered in the direction of violence. We shall have to deal with that in this country in future days.

The media’s reply to truth is to assert that those – like Kirk – who wield it do harm to others and are bad people. Such messages drip into the heads of immature people and create the motive for attacking the one who has brought detestable truth towards them. I am not saying this is the only reason for Kirk’s death, and we will have to wait longer before knowing all the facts of this case, but this murder fits with the pattern of people becoming radicalised to destroy the messengers of truth.

The falsehoods that are being used every day to shape society to a particular image are deliberate gaslighting of us. We know well that in various countries of the western world – in Central Europe, the UK, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand – techniques are consciously employed to bring about a communist-inspired new world order. Much of that order is being destroyed today, and some very guilty people are getting extremely close to having the band-aid ripped off the crimes against humanity that they have committed. This, of course, only makes them more desperate to do anything they can to destabilize the world and postpone or eliminate the day of their judgment.

As Andrew Torba says in his article, written a day before Kirk’s death, “Their power depended on our sleep. But we’re awake now.” In our awakeness, we see what is happening, yet we are surrounded by sleep-walkers who do not understand the forces that are causing deliberate destabilization. We know that the leaders of the European Union are doing everything they can to bring about war, and yet others cannot conceive of such evil being possible. No one could possibly be as diabolical as that, could they!

Yes, they could and they are, and they can only do it with the connivance of the media and the ignorance of a large part of the public. Whether it’s war in the world or hatred in men’s hearts, some in the media and in politics work constantly to incite violence – it is not just random. And then, when we call out the truth, we are the ones who are accused of harbouring hate – you can’t define projection more clearly than that!

Our first response to further acts of destabilization – which undoubtedly will come – and to the gaslighting that gives birth to them must be to resist the incitement – violence is what they want, and it has no place in our world. But along with this, we need to be more clear with ourselves and others about what is happening. The media’s gaslighting – how are they possibly allowed to go on getting away with it, week after week after week!

If more people were aware of the effects of what we see every day on our screens, good journalists would be shamed and would pull back from what their paymasters are wanting of them. The deaths that do happen – may they not be in vain. We are awake and are unafraid to call out the evil to its face. May others wake through this also. The victory of truth is inevitable. May each of us become more able to focus on the part we can play in assisting this victory of truth to come about.

I will finish with the final words of Andrew Torba’s article:

Our task isn’t to beg a world that hates us for scraps of approval. It’s to forge a new world, unapologetic and unbreakable. We will live so boldly, so fiercely, so rooted in our faith and blood that our very existence becomes a blazing rebuke to our enemies. The phoenix doesn’t grovel before the ashes. It rises, and its fire consumes all doubt. We are that fire. We are rising. And we will burn away the lies until the people stand sovereign in their homelands once more.
