Candace Owens Uncovers Erika Kirk's Undisclosed Fort Huachuca Connection and Film About Corporate Espionage

Categories: Investigation
January 16, 2026

Candace Owens reveals evidence that Erika Kirk worked on a 2010-2013 film project at Fort Huachuca, a military intelligence base, contradicting previous denials about her familiarity with the location. The film, titled November Renaissance, focused on corporate espionage, assassins, and nanotechnology used by governments and corporations to maintain power. Owens also addresses Nick Fuentes' recent comments attempting to redefine pedophilia, the GATE program for gifted children, and concerning patterns involving child trafficking charities connected to major Turning Point USA donors.

The Fort Huachuca Connection Confirmed

Candace Owens has been investigating claims about Erika Kirk's connection to Fort Huachuca, an intelligence base in Arizona. After weeks of following leads that began with a person stationed at Fort Huachuca claiming they saw Erika there, Owens obtained evidence confirming that Erika is definitively familiar with the base. According to Owens, Erika once shot a teaser for a short film at or around Fort Huachuca between 2010 and 2013.

The public response from Turning Point USA, particularly from Andrew Kolvet, struck Owens as suspiciously over the top. Instead of calmly acknowledging the possibility, Kolvet denied it emphatically, which Owens found unnecessarily defensive given the evidence she uncovered.

November Renaissance: A Film About Government Surveillance and Control

Owens was contacted by people who were based at Fort Huachuca around 2010-2011 who informed her that they knew Erika and that she worked with personnel from the base on a film that never saw the light of day. The film was entitled November Renaissance, and Owens was provided with professionally shot movie posters as evidence.

In the film, Erika was set to play a character named Evelyn Matthysse. Based on a Kickstarter campaign from 2012-2013 that remains publicly available, the movie was about corporate espionage, assassins, and nanotechnology used to help governments and corporate financial institutions maintain power. The description stated: "In the world of tomorrow, the mind has become a hard drive linked to the internet. And once the present divide between technology and humanity has become next to non-existent, driving this world forward are the many emerging multinational corporations that have grown in power far beyond the control of world governments."

The director, Clayton Hogan, described the film's concept in promotional materials, explaining how nanotechnology could manipulate people's senses to create false realities and transfer knowledge and skill sets between individuals, essentially turning the brain into a hard drive.

Military Connections Throughout the Cast

Owens discovered that virtually everyone involved in the November Renaissance project had connections to Fort Huachuca or the military. Clayton Hogan himself does marketing for the defense contracting firm Dylan Aerospace. Don Fry, another participant, graduated from high school in Sierra Vista and trained in judo at Fort Huachuca. Payton McCormack's grandfather is Colonel Pete McCormick, and her father is Lieutenant Colonel Alan McCormack, who was stationed at Fort Huachuca. Payton was also Miss Teen USA in 2006. Priscilla Anne's father was a lieutenant stationed at Fort Huachuca. Shantel Thouy's father worked in artificial intelligence for IBM, which Owens suspects may connect to Fort Huachuca. Price Mitchum had a concerning trajectory involving a psychiatric 5150 hold.

Despite promising delivery in 2013, the film was never released, though updates were posted as late as 2017. Owens asserts this evidence conclusively proves that claims of Erika's unfamiliarity with Fort Huachuca are false.

Multiple Witnesses Place Erika at Fort Huachuca

Beyond the film connection, Owens revealed that three separate individuals have claimed to have seen Erika at Fort Huachuca around the time of Charlie Kirk's death. The first was a woman currently stationed at the base who posted online that she saw Erika on September 9th, not the 8th, before any conspiracies emerged. She subsequently deleted her post after receiving pushback online. A second person who was formerly stationed at Fort Huachuca and is friends with the first individual confirmed that the post was real. A third person asserted in military personnel chats that they too had seen Erika at Fort Huachuca and that there was an order to lower drones that day.

Owens confirmed through due diligence that the third-party source who knows both individuals is real, has a relationship with them, and that they are in fact stationed at Fort Huachuca. While Owens notes this is third-party information and maintains appropriate skepticism, the convergence of multiple independent witnesses adds weight to the claims.

Erika's Disputed Statements About China and Sex Trafficking Work

Owens uncovered another discrepancy regarding Erika Kirk's past. In a podcast interview, Erika stated: "I was living in China and doing a lot of work with the victims from sex trafficking." However, when Owens asked Justin Streiff at Turning Point USA about when Erika lived in China, he replied that she never lived there and only visited for a couple of weeks to see the Great Wall of China.

This contradiction—Erika's own words versus her current denial—raises questions about her history with child sex trafficking victims, which connects to a larger pattern Owens has been investigating involving various individuals and organizations in Charlie Kirk's orbit.

The Buckman Connection and Courage House Nevada

Owens examined the background of Nelda Buckman, who along with her husband Carl made the largest donation in Turning Point USA's history—$10 million—resulting in the Florida headquarters being renamed the Buckman Campus. Nelda gave an exclusive interview to the DailyWire+ in January about her relationship with Erika, revealing they met privately in Florida ahead of AmericaFest for a dedication ceremony where Nelda offered Erika personal support regarding the challenges of being a single mother leading the organization.

Nelda Buckman is an executive producer, artist, and philanthropist who has done extensive work with foster children and sex trafficking victims through organizations like National Angels. However, Owens expressed concern about one particular project: Courage House Nevada, to which Nelda is one of the largest donors or possibly the largest owner.

This nonprofit advertises itself as providing safe homes for child sex trafficking survivors. In April 2025, it purchased a 40-acre property in Washoe County, Nevada, planning to house six female residents initially, with capacity for 18 total as cottages are built. The facility is described as a psychiatric residential treatment facility located at a confidential, secure location.

Troubling Aspects of Courage House Nevada

Several aspects of Courage House Nevada gave Owens pause. The founder told local news that they chose a rural location "where it's hard for them to leave or for someone to find them," ostensibly to protect the girls from people who want to hurt them. Owens found the phrasing "hard for them to leave" disturbing for a facility supposedly helping trafficking victims.

The website indicates girls can be as young as 4 to 6 years old and will be housed long-term, with the organization providing tuition support for college. They specifically outline excitement that Nevada changed its laws so residents don't have to leave on their 18th birthday and can stay until age 21.

Owens clarified she is not implying the Buckmans have improper involvement but expressed general concern about child sex trafficking charities after scandals involving organizations like Operation Underground Railroad, run by Tim Ballard, to which Owens herself used to donate annually. She suggested some charities claiming to help trafficking victims may actually be involved in trafficking, and questioned why such a facility would be located in Nevada, known for Las Vegas and associated vices.

A Pattern Emerges: The Trafficking and Abuse Connection

Owens presented a chart showing recurring themes throughout her investigation into Charlie Kirk's death, including a Liberty University strand, an Eastern Europe strand, and a trafficking and sex abuse strand. She emphasized that being on the chart doesn't indicate guilt, but the connections are notable for an organization supposedly focused on free markets and capitalism.

The pattern includes George Zinn present the day of Charlie's death, Turning Point Faith working with Pastor Greg Laurie whose church is being accused of trafficking children from Romania through Pastor Paul Negrut, Rob McCoy attempting to rehabilitate someone who had abused children, Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad which ended in scandal, and Paul Vallely, a retired Army general who ran psychological operations and co-wrote a book with Michael Aquino, an avowed Satanist who started the Temple of Set and was accused of harming a child at an Army Child Development Center.

The Ben Shapiro Documentary Deal

Owens revealed backstory about the Identity Crisis documentary on gender that was announced as a collaboration between the DailyWire+ and Turning Point USA. According to Owens, after she called out Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk supported her, Ben became upset and started putting pressure on Charlie's donors, trying to prevent Candace from speaking at AmericaFest by claiming she was an anti-Semite.

Charlie told Candace that a donor was being influenced, and Andrew Kolvet eventually called her to say they were allowing Ben to "buy a place at AmFest" with "an offensive amount of money," and that Ben would buy up the documentary they were doing. Owens told them to take his money, that she wasn't insecure about her friendship with Charlie. While Owens doesn't confirm Nelda Buckman was the donor applying pressure, she found it interesting that Nelda was the executive producer of that specific documentary.

Nick Fuentes Attempts to Redefine Pedophilia

Owens addressed Nick Fuentes' recent comments attempting to defend Jeffrey Epstein's crimes by arguing they don't constitute pedophilia. Fuentes stated: "This whole pedo thing, it's like, is it really pedophilia? I don't want to be the one that has to say it, but I guess I'm being forced to say it. It's not really pedophilia. Okay. They weren't trafficking five-year-olds. It was like they were technically not legal, big difference in my opinion."

Owens firmly rejected this argument, noting that Epstein had been accused of trafficking children as young as 8 and 11 years old, and that for his birthday, his friend Jean-Luc Brunel flew 12-year-old triplets from Paris to him. She stated that anyone sexually interested in prepubescent children is a pedophile, regardless of technical definitions that are constantly being changed and manipulated.

Fuentes attempted to walk back his comments in a follow-up video, claiming the issue isn't about pedophilia but about Epstein working with Israeli intelligence to acquire blackmail. He accused people of not having the IQ to understand the layered crime and dismissed "Gen X idiots that are obsessed with satanic pedophile elite and psycho conspiracy kookery."

Fuentes as Federal Informant and Theater Boy

Owens has long maintained that Fuentes is clearly a federal informant, pointing to evidence including: taking a meeting with Defend Texas Liberty and Farris Wilks's partner to pitch selling his followers' data after years of criticizing Ben Shapiro and Israel; leading people into the Capitol on January 6th with a bullhorn telling them to ignore police and storm barriers despite being warned the night before by Milo Yiannopoulos about a fed trap; not getting arrested despite his prominent role; his lawyer going off record when asked directly if he's a federal informant; and receiving a quarter million in Bitcoin from a French person who supposedly wrote a perfect English suicide note on a timer.

Owens described Fuentes as a "theater boy" and "glee club kid" who is dramatic rather than masculine, stating that heterosexual men shouldn't follow people who don't exhibit true masculinity—protecting women and children rather than trying to redefine pedophilia. She suggested he has stopped reading books since gaining fame and is now just repeating talking points.

The Occult and Spiritual Warfare

Owens challenged Fuentes' dismissal of "satanic pedophile elite" conspiracies, arguing that understanding the theology guiding global elites is more important than left-right politics. She pointed to the occult and satanic ritualistic practices documented throughout history, including in the establishment of Hollywood and the field of psychology.

She cited examples like Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons who established the Apollo program at NASA while conducting occult sexual rituals to create a "moon child," and suggested there has been an effort to harm children and turn them into "automated programs" through trauma—comparing them to "white walkers" from Game of Thrones who will do whatever they're told.

Owens stated: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist," and argued this is fundamentally a spiritual war where Christ will ultimately win.

The GATE Program and Childhood Experimentation

Owens discussed responses to her previous episode about the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program, where numerous people shared experiences of memory blackouts, strange phenomena like street lights going out when they walk by, and being approached by Department of Defense personnel or military representatives.

One commenter wrote about being a GATE kid at Fort Hood in the late 80s/early 90s with total memory blackout from ages 4 to 10, whose father was a doctor doing residency adjacent to a biolab at the army hospital. After the program, they were shuffled through four different schools connected to the DoD through the Aspen Education Group, including Turnabout Ranch in Escalante, Utah, and described experiencing strange phenomena like lights breaking and cabinets slamming.

Owens shared her own experience of being selected for an extraordinary learners program in third grade after scoring highly on state tests. Her school offered to pay all expenses for her to attend Kinglow Haywood Private School, but she cried and begged her mother not to make her go, promising to "be an idiot" if she could just stay at her current school. She wonders now if these programs exist to identify brilliant children to ensure they work for the government and can be tracked.

Project Looking Glass and Greenland

Owens mentioned Project Looking Glass and suggested the government is hiding technology, questioning why people would think those hungry for power would share technological advances. She also noted concern about the sudden push for Greenland acquisition, learning about America's underground military base there established to launch missiles during the Cold War. This caught her attention because Charlie Kirk had made predictions not only about his own death but about devastation involving missiles and war.

Ongoing Investigation

Owens stated she will continue pursuing the Fort Huachuca alibi and plans to send a video example to Turning Point USA to clarify what she's requesting, as previous attempts through a third person may have caused confusion. She encouraged anyone with more information about Fort Huachuca to send tips to her website and promised updates by the following Monday's live episode.
