“The further a society gets from the truth, the more it hates those who speak it.”  –  George Orwell

One of the family's favorite shows was The Crown. We watched it several times and found something new each time. Although I'm not particularly interested in the royal lifestyle, it was a very well-made series. The writing was sharp, the characters were well-developed, there were interesting historical details, and it brought the private and public lives of the royal family up close.

In the moments following the Kennedy assassination, Queen Elizabeth is talking to her mother. They notice that Jackie Kennedy is still wearing the bloody dress she wore when she boarded the plane the night of the assassination. She then says, “I think it is deliberate.” I haven’t seen the dubbed version in Hungarian. Maybe it can be translated as – premeditated or intentional, and you could go a little further, symbolic.

This happened on September 10th.

My younger son writes for the first time in the family chat: “I feel sick about this.” A friend sent him the raw video. He was the same age as me, my daughter replies. She hopes, but there is no particular hope, it is immediately clear, this boy is finished.

My wife is still at work. She's very upset when she comes down from her second-floor office around five o'clock. She's looking for coffee. She almost snaps at me. Don't blame me, I tell her. No, she says, I'm sorry, I just really got upset by this sequence of events.

Why did it hit so deep?

Because it was simply evil. I've thought about this many times - what does it mean in the Lord's Prayer, Deliver me from evil. That's what it means.

When evil is unmasked, when it is at work, when it is in its element. As it lives here among us.

And it hits even deeper when the Democratic press uniformly walls up evil. Every second row is there, right-wing, right-wing, right-wing – he invited death, he deserved it. Undisguised joy is bubbling. In exactly the same tone as when they tried to shoot Trump.

Charlie Kirk was right-wing like László Tőkés or András Sütő. He was a simple man who had had enough of the lies and took the trouble to speak out against them. That's it. He wasn't right-wing or radical. Just radically normal.

Why Orem, why Utah?

Deeply biblical Utah. Orem was once called Sharon, after the territory of Israel. Part of the Via Maris, the road to Egypt. A clean, simple, conservative state. The old Spanish trade route between Mexico and California passed through here. Modern Utah is one of the centers of religious revival today. I've been here a few times for computer conferences. Interesting world, close-knit people.

Why a university?

The university world is the breeding ground of the American left. It is where children are brainwashed for four years.

Democrats fear that Trump's successor will win an even larger percentage of the youth from them after 2024. And Charlie Kirk would have played a leading role in this.

Why this boy?

It was a message to many. Trump's grandson writes,"He was a close friend of our family... Rest in peace, Charlie." Few people were closer to Trump's inner circle than Charlie Kirk. They liked him, fought with him, treated him like family.

On the other hand, he was a handsome man, married, with a beautiful wife and two children. The former

a model American family that Democrats have trampled on in the last decade.

They are desperately fighting against the image of the classic family. After all, families are the strength, the last bastion of resistance.

Why now?

The noose is tightening. September is the month of reckoning. Many anti-Trump subversives will soon be summoned to the Supreme Court in the 2016 Russian interference scandal, and of course the Epstein thing is about to get going.

Why a white T-shirt with “Freedom” written on it?

Under normal circumstances, there should be no need to explain. Democrats fight for democracy. For a democracy where only they can rule, where only their policies can be valid, where only they can be implemented. In their eyes, freedom is nothing more than an inconvenience that can be avoided.

Why in a public place?

With the means at hand, they could have killed him anywhere. An accident, a poisoned drink, at home in his sleep.

They chose public execution. Because that's how evil is. To show that they can do this with impunity. They've been convicted for years, and now they're being executed.

Jackie Kennedy – the two versions. She chose to wear the bloody dress. Or the villains who wouldn't let her change. Show off in front of the cameras so this generation can remember what happened.
