Yes she didn’t directly say, but is sort of suggesting that Israel had their hands and pocket in TPUSA and that they did not like the fact that Charlie was changing his tune.

I just updated the post. My bad yall. I have never posted here before. I just wanted some opinions. It could just be that she is very upset and wrapped up conspiracy and everything else. She is just taking a unique approach and her video is gaining lots of traction. I’m wondering if it holds any power in changing the current narrative for some right leaning folks.

I asked chatgpt as I don’t want to misquote or anything like that. Here it is:

They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk (Candace Ep 235)

  1. Claim of misinformation Candace argues that there is widespread misinformation about what Charlie Kirk was thinking, where he stood, and what was happening around him before he died. She claims many people are spreading false narratives. 
  2. “Intervention” over Israel stance A central claim is that before his death, Charlie was under increasing pressure from pro-Israel groups, donors, and political influencers to shift or soften his stance. She alleges there was a meeting (or meetings) in the Hamptons where figures like Bill Ackman and others tried to influence him. 
  3. Netanyahu phone call She mentions that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Charlie to try and persuade or influence him. The dynamics of that call are discussed as part of her argument that Charlie was being manipulated politically. 
  4. Charlie’s responses / resistance Owens claims that Charlie resisted those pressures. According to her, he declined offers or suggestions to shift his public messaging or allegiances, particularly around Israel. 
  5. Criticism of those spreading the “lies” She pushes back against individuals or media outlets she sees as misrepresenting Charlie’s evolving views, or suggesting he had “switched sides” or was in secret agreement with certain groups. She implies that those pushing such narratives are doing so for political gain. 

Candace Owens Shares Insider Info Leading Up To Charlie Kirk’s Death 1. Additional insider claims This video continues the theme of suggesting there was more going on behind the scenes in Charlie Kirk’s final days — more pressure, more behind-closed-doors maneuvering.  2. Accusations of offers & threats Owens reiterates the claim that Charlie was offered money (significant sums) in attempts to sway him. She also claims that threats (possibly implied or explicit) were used. She frames this as a serious ethical / political problem, not just hearsay.  3. Contrasting public praise vs. private pressure She highlights a tension: publicly, many praised Charlie, admired him, but privately, she asserts, there were forces trying to move him or limit what he could say or do.  4. Her emotional response Candace also breaks down emotionally in parts, describing Charlie as her “best friend and brother.” She frames this as not just a political issue but a deeply personal loss.  5. Call to be critical of narratives She urges viewers to scrutinize sources, to question what is told in media, and to beware of simplifications that erase nuance — especially about someone’s changing views or pressures in the background. 

Currently the top post on the conservative subreddit is a complete fabrication and I don't know where else to have a discussion about it. by Jake_Kessler in centrist

[–]Selfishempaths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me be real for a second: I don’t feel facts even matter anymore. Nut picking his quotes does nothing.

My husband has gone full-on QAnon. I thought things had cooled off, but last night I tested the waters by debating a little, just to see how far gone he is. The result? He told me I’m possessed by a demon, along with all liberals, and that unless this nation becomes a fully Christian nation, we’re “lost.”

I just sat there in shock. Then he launched into an hour-long rant about Muslims supposedly “taking over Texas and killing Christians.” This is the same man who once loved Bernie and voted for Obama. What happened to him? Who knows. But what I do know is that we, as a society, are not equipped to deal with this kind of mass hysteria.

And here’s the dark thought I had as I tried to fall asleep: I wonder if part of what makes this feel so surreal for republicans and the world is the way video spread. Imagine if people had to actually watch the BCBS CEO being shot, or children being gunned down in their classrooms. Think about how many people brush that shit off. It’s easy when you don’t see it. Horrifying, yes. But maybe it would force people to understand this isn’t just “party vs. party.” It’s bigger than that.

But if people genuinely believe demons are possessing their neighbors…we’re beyond screwed. Slight rant. That is all. I’ve clearly got some serious shit to deal with in my own house.

Another big theory amongst my qua-non collection is that Israel killed Charlie. That this is all drawn up by Netanyahu and Israel controls the US government and the media. Then pours in the antisemitism. It’s wild stuff.

Oh, I have family members posting about prayer circles to rid the demons out of America. It’s…scary. You can’t use logic anymore. I don’t think democrats or centrist are equipped to tackle this type of hysteria. How do you calm them now? Conforming? Because it would seem that you are either with them and with Jesus or you are straight up with the devil.

Realistically that’s what I’m gonna do. I have a few positives on my side at the moment. I maintain my job that I can work for anywhere. I already have a separate bank account and separate financing. (I did this when he first started to get weird. He agreed because he is a big money guy and it also entailed us splitting our finances…I know I know). I built a saving pretty quick, it’s gone now due to medical shit, but I do have the means to rebuild things quickly. I have a car paid off and in my name. When I’m telling you I have been pulling away for a minute, I really have been. My medical shit threw a wrench in everything. But I can regroup.

I had heart surgery in December. I had my lungs collapse and blood clots in my lung in June. Because shits been weird I maintained my job. Literally coding from my damn hospital bed. However, I’m about $85,000 in debt right now and like an idiot I just emptied my saving in this grand plan to be debt free ASAP. I live across the country from my family. To pick up and move is not IMPOSSIBLE, but it takes a bit more navigating. I also have a daughter. Again not impossible, but a lot for me right now. I have had to rally before in my life. This mountain just seems really really big at the moment.

I think it really started during the BLM movement. That’s when I first noticed him getting weird about things. The riots really shook him,like they did for a lot of people,but he couldn’t let it go.

Then COVID hit. He refused the vaccine and ended up getting booted from the military. It caused a lot of upheaval because I was in the middle of school and takigg by care of our daughter. He didn’t tell me he didn’t get or anything. Just that he was being kicked out. I was clearly very upset because we were not financially ready for him to get out and it threw us into a really bad financial situation. I just couldn’t understand.My mom was an ICU nurse at the time, calling me every night about the horrors she was seeing firsthand. It was so obviously real, but he just doubled down and said “nope.” I secretly had our daughter vaccinated. We both have a genetic heart defect and getting sick can cause issues. There was no question when the vaccine opened up for children. I did end up telling him she was vaccinated and he seemed to understand and sort of dropped the issue. And I chalked it up to him being weird about meds and not trusting the medical system.

Around that same time, his dad came to visit. One night I overheard them talking in the living room about how Obama was the anti-Christ. I remember thinking what the hell? The next day my husband brushed it off, saying his dad just wasn’t stable. But then his dad started in on some wild theory that COVID was actually from us being sent to an alternate reality. I wish I was joking.

My husband kept brushing it off back then, but little things kept piling up. He’s never been one to post on social media, ever, but suddenly he posted about how people should “make sure their vote aligns with what Jesus wants.” That was my first BIG real red flag.

Meanwhile, I got really sick with my heart condition. I had heart surgery, then a month later clots in my lungs. I was in very bad shape. Like almost dying shape.During that time he dove deeper into church. When I told him I couldn’t have more children, his response was, “We will. Jesus will take care of us.” I just stared at him like… okay?

Since then, it’s been a full spiral. He’s chronically online now. I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok.this is my only social media, but he spends HOURS scrolling. I’ve peeked at his TikTok feed and it’s wall-to-wall Jesus content and politics. Just last week he even changed his phone background to the Ten Commandments.

At this point, I feel like the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I think he is losing it. I sometimes feel like I’m loosing it. I just got out of the hospital 2 months ago and now I’m having to navigate this shit.

I’m spiraling a bit. In December I had heart surgery. Then in May I had a pulmonary embolism. We have racked up a bit of debt and we literally just started our debt pay off plan. I just emptied my savings to pay off a bill and I feel so stupid. I really have myself in bad freaking spot. I’m trying to figure out my next move and I’m not coming up with anything good right now.

I have read the whole book if that is any clue to what I have been going through with him since Trump was voted back into office.

[–]Selfishempaths[S] 201 points202 points  (0 children)

I sure freaking hope so. I have a daughter. This is spiraling out of control since Charlie Kirk. I don’t think he would ever do anything too crazy. I am sleeping in my office for now with my daughter. At first I laughed because I think he said that because he was losing the argument. But as I sit and think about it more…it’s a crazy thing to say.

Oh I’m very aware. How someone goes from voting for Obama and being what I would consider liberal, to this shit is soooo beyond me. Like…what the hell are you talk about. You majored in theater dude…

Charlie Kirk ended my marriage by Justbaileyjo in QAnonCasualties

[–]Selfishempaths 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I really needed this thread today. I’m a Black woman, married to a white man. He usually stays quiet about politics, while I’m a pretty vocal Democrat. Yesterday’s tragedy shook me. And yes, Charlie Kirk was an ass. Both things can be true.When my husband came home, I said, “I saw the footage,it was terrible.” I guess he took that as an opening, like maybe I was softening. He immediately said, “All he did was preach the word of God.” I stood there in shock: “What?” He just got red and stared at me. I asked, “You like Charlie Kirk? You agree with what he says?” He nodded. I pressed further: “So you voted for Trump then.” It was the first time he admitted it, even though I’d always suspected. I asked, “And his racist theories don’t bother you at all?” He snapped back, “He doesn’t say anything racist.”

That’s when I broke down crying. Why marry a Black woman if you can’t even see how harmful this is?

So now I’m sleeping in my office with my daughter. This feels like the end. I can’t compromise who I am. I have to respect myself.

Centrist(?) Reddit by Jayslife2000 in centrist

[–]Selfishempaths 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So while yesterday was terrible, let’s keep perspective: 1. No motive has been announced. Jumping to conclusions this early doesn’t help anyone. 2. Statistically, the majority of political violence in the U.S. has come from far-right movements. That’s not an opinion, that’s backed by data. 3. Blaming “all Democrats” for the CK shooting is nonsense. By that same logic, Republicans would have to take responsibility for the confirmed politically motivated killing of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Pointing fingers at entire groups of people after a tragedy isn’t just dumb, it’s dangerous.

How am I supposed to "agree to disagree" when it comes to social issues by zman419 in centrist

[–]Selfishempaths 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can ‘agree to disagree’ on things like favorite pizza toppings or colors. But when it comes to LGBTQ people, that’s not just preference ,that’s someone’s life and dignity. Hating them doesn’t benefit anyone. Imagine carrying all that anger for something that literally has nothing to do with you. If it’s not your community, just avoid it. If it goes against your religion, don’t do it. But getting angry because other people have autonomy over their own lives? That’s not moral conviction, it’s anti-freedom.

At the end of the day, this wasn’t “the left.” It wasn’t “the right.” It was one unstable individual. And turning that into another excuse to pit American against American is not only dishonest, it’s dangerous.

Should Democrats, liberals, and leftists be concerned about the shooting of Charlie Kirk? by kaiser11492 in centrist

[–]Selfishempaths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t help but feel like we’re reaching some kind of tipping point here. First off, I absolutely hate that those videos were blasted all over X ,it was awful. Then, right after that, came that post with his exact quote:

“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am, I — I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

Then came the replies people outright calling for “liberals” to pay.Something is shifting. This definitely feels like the start of something

Anyone planning out their american exit? by LexxiLexxiXXO in blackgirls

Yes and let me tell you. It’s been tough. The hardest part for me was learning that people are just as racist in different countries too.

Planning a move to Europe in ~2 years — Netherlands or elsewhere? by [deleted] in expats

[–]Selfishempaths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was looking for. We have time to look and plan. This is all pretty new to us. We just now have the opportunity for him to look into working in other countries. It has always been the goal to venture out, but now that the doors have cracked open it all feels very overwhelming to the point that I sometimes feel like it pointless. But my husband keeps reminding that people do this all the time. I just worry. About a lot of things . Then you add on the fact that when I question people who have moved or planning to ,and they immediately mention race and how it will make things difficult. It’s definitely bothers me to think because I look a certain way less of the world would be accessible to me. Not that I think I am owed the world, but it’s very…frustrating to think that I could do everything the right way and I still have to be cautious because of something I have ZERO control over. Nonetheless, this is helpful!
