When I first envisioned this show, I committed to exploring the human journey—that we are more than bodies, delving into life’s mysteries, and speaking from love—while avoiding divisive politics. The past decade, especially the last five years, has fueled reflexive hostility toward differing views, but Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10th compels me to speak, driven by love to confront a truth demanding action.
My recent episodes, written months before this tragedy, focused on bridging divides, exposing media-driven groupthink, and its dangers. I'll share inks in the show notes. Charlie’s death—a decent man stolen from his family—marks the grim peak of anger programmed by that media. I can't help but think of the abortion clinic attacks that began in the late 1970s and went on into the 1990s. These escalated from arsons to bombings and ultimately resulted in eight murders.
[The Responsibility: A Mirror for All, Especially the Left]
No one should die for disagreeing or be labeled evil without proof, yet this rhetoric, driven by the extreme left, paints dissenters as bad, justifying Charlie’s murder for some. Disagreement is human—no one agrees fully with another. Nobody -not even me. Republicans condemned the clinic violence, distancing themselves from extremists; this was the right thing to do. We must call out evil where we see it -especially if that evil is hiding in our ranks. Now, Democrats must do the same. They must loudly reject this insanity to avoid association with it. Silence or justification equals complicity—there’s no middle ground.
[The Evil Within: Recognizing and Acting]
This assassination has prompted many to question their sources and hearts, yet some still excuse Charlie’s death. In doing this, they expose their darkness to us. I’ve cut ties with people in my life who devalue others for their views—and this isn’t political, it’s about humanity. Some will try to lead these souls back with love, as Charlie did—I admire that, but it’s beyond me. For me, removing such influences is self-preservation against evil. So I remove them, as I would a clod of dirt from my bowl of salad.
[The Tool: Love, Reflection, and Action]
We need Charlie’s civil dialogues seeking common ground. Listen to my episodes “Groupthink – How to Recognize it and Break Out” and “Use This Spiritual Secret to Build Unity Now,” which foresaw this crisis. The media, profiting from outrage, spins narratives—feebily trying to lay blame on conservatives for Charlie’s assassination, ignoring the killer’s texts, and the evidence shared by the DA prosecuting the case. With AI, we can now do our own fact-checks; relying on media or so-called 'professional fact-check organizations is irresponsible and lazy. They are no less than the next layer of propagandist tool, working in conjunction with the media -as a rubber stamp for their lies. Look within—your soul knows the truth, especially when hypocrisy from loud voices try to silence others.
[The Plea: A Turning Point]
This is a turning point. If you’ve seen others’ darkness and seek unity, you’re not alone. Stop trusting media—check original sources. If you’re on the left, overcome your fear and speak up. Engage those who differ to find shared humanity, as I have to refine my views. Reject violence or vengeance, cast out evil, but lead with love. We are souls on a journey—It's time we ALL start recognizing that.
[Closing]
Charlie’s death tests who we are—silent or standing against violence. This tragedy can spark change in humanity’s heart. If you're listening to this months or years from now, understand that the work continues: guard against hate, stay open, and seek understanding, not agreement, with those we differ from.
