Anna Paulina Luna on Charlie Kirk's Assassination: Foreign Funding Ties, Antifa Networks, and the Evidence We're Waiting to See
Anna Paulina Luna shares his insights on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, discussing the evidence that will emerge during the trial, foreign funding networks tied to radical groups, and why he believes certain people are wrongly implicating Erika Kirk. Crane reveals his investigation into Neville Roy Singham's connections to the CCP, the armed queers of Salt Lake City, and the broader protest industrial complex. He also weighs in on the Butler assassination attempt on President Trump, Discord as a common thread among radicalized shooters, and the unprecedented gag order affecting 3,000 witnesses from the Utah shooting.
Anna Paulina Luna addresses the ongoing questions surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination, noting that the trial is expected to be publicly televised. He emphasizes that the evidence will speak for itself once it's released after the trial, drawing parallels to the assassinations of Kennedy, King, and RFK where the evidence allowed people to form their own conclusions.
Crane explains that the family has been unable to speak publicly about the case due to concerns that the defense might use their statements to plead innocence. He makes it clear that he doesn't believe anyone should be implicating Erika Kirk or the family in any wrongdoing, calling out those who have suggested she was somehow involved or sought to benefit from the tragedy.
Setting the Record Straight on Erika Kirk
When asked who has been making these accusations, Crane points to social media postings that have implied Erika Kirk's involvement. He specifically mentions Tyler Bowyer, who heads Turning Point Action, for sharing content from an account with over 400,000 followers that suggested such theories. Crane responded to these posts, emphasizing that this line of speculation is completely wrong.
He acknowledges that in situations like this, it's standard protocol for investigators to look at the spouse first, but stresses that victimizing the victim is unacceptable. Erika Kirk lost her husband and her children lost their father, and Crane witnessed her devastation firsthand when he was with her at the White House.
Foreign Funding Networks and Neville Roy Singham
Crane reveals what he believes is a significant aspect of the case: foreign funding ties to radical groups. He directs attention to his social media account where he's shared information about Antifa funding networks, specifically highlighting the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City and their connections to broader networks.
The conversation turns to Neville Roy Singham, a figure Crane describes as potentially worse than George Soros. Singham, who made his money with help and funding from the Chinese Communist Party, has been funding groups directly responsible for much of the division in America. Crane notes that Singham was funding the LA ICE riots and is tied to the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City, which connects to a Cuban terror network.
Singham has refused to respond to congressional inquiries into his funding of these riots. Crane reveals that they wrote a letter to the Secretary of Treasury to freeze Singham's assets and that the Department of Justice is involved. Despite congressional attempts to serve him with testimony requests, Singham, who spends most of his time in China, has refused to cooperate.
The Protest Industrial Complex
A video clip is shown featuring testimony about what experts call the "protest industrial complex" or "Riot Inc." The testimony reveals that this isn't just about the Soros network, but includes other funding networks like Arabella, Tides, and Neville Roy Singham's network, along with foreign cash from donors like Hans Joerg Wyss of Switzerland who aren't even American citizens.
The testimony outlines three key facts about Riot Inc:
Like any corporation, Riot Inc. has many divisions including PR, marketing, and well-funded legal divisions designed to get protesters back on the streets as quickly as possible
Dozens of radical organizations have received more than $100 million from these investors
More than $100 million in US taxpayer funding has flowed into these funding networks, including at least $4 million directly to these groups
Crane confirms that there's a business model where people are paid to protest. He's posted videos of professional protesters who have attended hundreds of protests. He emphasizes that Antifa isn't organic but highly organized, communicating on dark web platforms similar to Facebook, using crowdfunding, foreign funding, and cash to mobilize.
Why Charlie Kirk Was Targeted
When asked who benefited most from Charlie Kirk's assassination, Crane explains that Charlie was seen as a threat because of what he was going to do in the future. The ideas that benefited most were those that directly conflicted with Charlie's ideologies and beliefs.
Crane discusses how America's adversaries use the country's freedom of speech against it, capitalizing on people's ignorance and their willingness to believe things on the internet without questioning. Charlie Kirk had a unique ability to cut through that noise and cognitive dissonance, making him a significant threat to these networks.
He notes that from what he's hearing, the shooter's fingerprints were all over the top of the building, the firearm, and allegedly all over the bullet casings, though he hasn't seen direct evidence yet since he's not handling the case as an investigator.
The Administration's Response
After Charlie's assassination, Crane observed a massive mobilization and shift from the administration to come down on foreign funding ties to groups like Antifa and those targeting conservative belief systems. Charlie represented everything that stood against that, putting him in what Crane calls "the fatal funnel."
Crane makes it clear that Charlie Kirk was irreplaceable, comparing the situation to how Reagan couldn't be replaced until Trump showed up. He notes there's a push to find who will be the heir apparent to replace Charlie, but emphasizes that he was one of a kind, on a path to easily get elected based on his base, reach, ability to connect with people, and messaging.
Discord and Common Threads
Crane identifies Discord as a common communication app among radicalized individuals, noting its appearance in multiple cases including Tyler Robinson and the shooter who tried to assassinate President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. This pattern concerns him and suggests coordination beyond what's publicly known.
The Butler Assassination Attempt
When discussing the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Crane expresses frustration that the public knows virtually nothing about what happened. He personally questioned the Secret Service director at the time, and she perjured herself to him, leading him to call for perjury charges. Both Democrats and Republicans agreed she needed to resign for being unfit.
Based on the evidence he saw, Crane believes that spot was left open to assassinate the president. The Secret Service didn't send their snipers to a meeting that was supposed to coordinate with local law enforcement on the day of the event. Trump was drastically understaffed with Secret Service protection.
Drawing on his investigations into the assassinations of Kennedy, RFK, and MLK, Crane states that Butler felt like an inside job. He believes it was intentional negligence at minimum, possibly something more deliberate based on the rhetoric that was maintained beforehand.
Crane suggests that President Trump could release the information on Butler, but notes this is obviously very personal to him. He also raises concerns about whether the evidence that was left during the handover is exactly what remains, pointing to the example of cocaine found in the White House where the evidence was immediately destroyed.
The Unprecedented Gag Order
The judge in Tyler Robinson's murder trial has issued a gag order preventing any witnesses who may have been in attendance from speaking with the media. This affects 2,000 to 3,000 people who were on the UVU campus at the time of the shooting on September 10th.
Crane states he's not a fan of gag orders, citing what happened with President Trump in New York City when they tried to control the narrative. However, he's curious to see what evidence they present in court. If they have prints on everything and the defendant is pleading guilty, he believes it will answer many questions.
The gag order is being put in place to give Tyler Robinson a fair trial and avoid tainting the jury pool, given the massive media exposure involving such a high-profile figure as Charlie Kirk and the voluminous amount of discovery in the case.
The Evidence and Accountability
Crane believes the evidence needs to come out so people can answer questions for themselves, including speculation about whether Charlie was targeted because he was pivoting on his position on Israel. He wants everyone involved to be held accountable and hopes the evidence can be released sooner rather than later.
He acknowledges that with 3,000 cameras present from phones, along with fingerprints and digital pinging technology available today, the evidence should be substantial compared to assassinations from previous eras. The trial will be critical in revealing the truth.
Crane calls this the biggest assassination of our lifetime, on the level of MLK, but with the added dimension of modern technology and surveillance that should make it easier to uncover the full truth of what happened and who was responsible.
