@MentORPHEUS That is simply hilarious. What a fool!

There is no honour in whores these days! poor bloke pays $25K to indulge his perversion and the whore sells him out.

My take is that people really need to watch what they get into. No one is born wanting to do that. He is obviously attracted to women, he just got into kinky forbidden stuff, got off on it and just supersized.

As a right wing pretty traditional guy I think "Oh dear what a pity to do that to yourself" I think that when people get too puritan, you increase the risk of people craving to dip their noses in dirt. To me its self evident that being a bender is to be discouraged. If you make it utterly forbidden you just cause misery. It should simply be forbidden to promote being a bender and it should be regarded as unmanly and ridiculous. That is enough to reduce the risk of this sort of thing.

You will still get it in preachers' and politicians' families because these guys are fake holier than thou con artists who act a role and fear seeing it crumble. This makes smut amazingly forbidden and attractive to them but everyone else will be OK.

Oh I do love to see the holier than thou turn out to be benders or whore addicts or whatever!

@MentORPHEUS I had meant to get back to your previous post on this eventually but keep forgetting. Not a whole lot of time to get too deep, but I'll reply to a bit.

The very people who were ready to launch the next Kristalnacht against "The Violent Left" within an hour of the assassination

I only recall your having made that accusation against me, so I'm guessing you mean me again. That's highly inaccurate. I was planning to be ready to defend myself, not hunt people down and kill them.

And putting "the violent left" in quotes is retarded, becausev the left actually is violent.

ABSOLUTELY INCOMPATIBLE with a 30.06 bullet strike.

I've witnessed rounds of various size (mainly 5.56 and 7.62) do stranger than that.

Penn & Teller did an episode of "Bullshit!" on the Kennedy assassination that showed that much of what conspiracy theorists say about "back and to the left" being wrong. Similar situation here.

I've deliberately avoided watching it. I've seen enough of such shit for a lifetime.

The only stuff that sticks out to me is some of the logistics for how Tyler Robinson got in and out with the rifle seems fishy, and even worse (if memory serves) the roof he was on was scrubbed down and repainted only a couple of days after the assassination, much like the roof the would-be presidential assassin used in Butler, PA.

I've really had too much going on in my own life to delve too deeply into every little whacky hypothesis from armchair investigators. Hell, I haven't even really kept up with current events.

@First-light

The exploding microphone is a tough one. Explosives need to push against things to create enough inertia to do serious harm.

Agreed, and I came around very slowly to taking this hypothesis seriously for this very reason.

The device in question is not "the mic" but a separate battery and transmitter module built to get concealed beneath the user's shirt and held by a discreet external magnetic clasp. Since its orientation toward the user's body is deterministic, a shaped charge could direct as much of the energy possible as a jet into the body, with the recoil energy absorbed by the inertia of the device. As I did, watch slo mo video from multiple angles, some of which got captured at 60fps. See how assuming that a bullet arriving at his neck as the sole energy input to everything that happens, holds up to this! Given the PAGER Attack, Our Greatest Ally had means, motive, and opportunity to pull this off. Charlie had made it known he was unable to stay on the Israel bandwagon.

@MentORPHEUS I think one needs pretty good evidence to dispute an official narrative when there were a lot of people there. One would need to assume that everyone who knows about wounds who came into contact with the body has been hushed.

The exploding microphone is a tough one. Explosives need to push against things to create enough inertia to do serious harm. This is why a fragmentation grenade has a heavy metal body to very briefly contain the force long enough to get pressure up behind what will be the fragments. In the case of a microphone, the amount of explosive that can be contained is not great (particularly when we assume the microphone must also work and you need to get a receiver and detonator in there too). The body of the microphone is very weak and also very light. The only thing to really push against is the victim's body.

When we were kids we used to get shot shells and tape them to the head of target pointed arrows, with duct tape, so that the point was positioned on the primer. You could then pretend you were Rambo or some such and shoot the terribly weighted arrow at an archery target. When we first did it we all quaked with fear. Being an insecure mid ranking juvenile male who was also curious about stuff that blew up, I naturally screwed up my courage and had first go, while my friends hid behind a wall. Several arrows later we had established that absolutely fuck all happened except there was a big bang and the shell either ruptured in the middle or just dumped its load out without hurting the target more than a blunt rubber headed bird point would have. The shot shell could not hold enough pressure to do anything. You can try it with a 30 cal in a brass case and its still utterly uninspiring. You need to get pressure to make an explosion work and the moment the bullet overcomes the friction of the cartridge neck, its game over. It presumably takes about as much force to do this as you would use to push the seating die when you loaded the case.

Another kids shooting trick was to get 0.22 blanks and stick one in a blob of plasticine on wooden board. You then aimed at them with an air rifle and the result was satisfying when you were on target. I left the tin on top of the target frame once and a friend said "Don't do that someone will hit it" being dumb I said "No one is that bad a shot" Sure enough minutes later someone "missed" badly/ well enough to hit the tin. The blanks went everywhere but as many as we could find were all OK, as was the tin bar the entry hole. The tin just didn't hold enough pressure to detonate more than the first blank what was hit.

I don't know if you could kill a man with an exploding microphone but I think it would be a bad idea to try. If you can plan that well and have that much technology, there has to be a more likely to succeed way to do it.

What was strange about the bullet wound? I don't know anything about it. Presumably at the autopsy they found the usual crap sucked into a bullet wound? Bullets do sometimes do some dances with bones and get up enough push to go strange places, sometimes even without doing much damage to the bone they glance off. A bone is a heavy thing and a bullet can get enough push from it to change direction.

Following up on my own post from a month ago. It appears that Neocons expected Iran to collapse within 3 days, America would swoop in and take control of their oil production handing its profit stream to insiders, and we'd declare victory and forget the whole thing within a few news cycles.

What actually happened: Iran proved capable of hitting back HARD, exhausting the American MIC's business model of extremely expensive crony-built weapons systems using cheap but extremely effective mass produced weapons systems, drove Americans out of dozens of our regional military bases probably forever, and has kept the mighty US Navy hundreds of miles back despite us "Wiping out their entire air force and navy in the first few hours of the conflict."

Trump actually asked for, and got wisely denied, the nuclear launch codes.

US Oil companies and their cronies and investors profit as countries around the world have tankers en route thousands of miles toward our terminals. Countries like Canada and Australia are in extreme panic as their reserves are so low as to result in massive cutbacks on a time scale of weeks from now.

Israel is using America's attack on Iran as cover to annex Southern Lebanon. Picture is an IDF soldier, paid for right down to the civilian home door breaching tool by US Taxpayers, smashing the face of a Jesus statue at a Christian church that has existed for over 1000 years.

Where do you stand on the Charlie Kirk case at this point? Many consider it the highest profile political assassination since JFK.

Personally, I don't buy the Official Narrative at all. I don't see a strong case for Tyler Robinson as the assassin, or that it was actually him on that roof.

I DO believe he got recruited as a patsy, and was supposed to get gunned down in a firefight then quietly forgotten about within a few days' news cycle like the alleged Butler, PA Trump shooter. But, Tyler hosed that eventuality by turning himself in with the assistance of a family cop friend.

A seemingly innocuous motion by the defense in court, proved that the longstanding Official Narrative that he arrived at the police station around 9:30-10pm, was false; he was in custody around 6:30pm. The Prosecution is withholding MASSIVE amounts of evidence they hold, that is supposed to get routinely provided to the Defense team during the Discovery process.

I also believe, that he may have been killed by an explosive planted in his mic transmitter, that this was supposed to simulate a chest shot, that this did not go as planned and resulted in a neck wound ABSOLUTELY INCOMPATIBLE with a 30.06 bullet strike.

High FPS footage from multiple angles, when slowed down, shows Charlie's shirt expanding, and gas/vapor puffing out of it... BEFORE the wound on his neck appears! NOBODY who watches this readily available video, can give an explanation of how a bullet entering the neck causes what video evidence shows actually happening.

Strangely, even the experienced hunters and firearms enthusiasts I've discussed this with, blow off all inquiry with, "Bullets do strange things sometimes..." The very people who were ready to launch the next Kristalnacht against "The Violent Left" within an hour of the assassination news breaking... their Justice Boners go limp and they suddenly could not care less, when asked to look closely at forensic evidence and confront questions about what their own firsthand shooting experience shows a 30.06 round would do after entering a 3" cross section of neck flesh.
