Overwhelming Support for Candace Owens Investigation

A recent poll conducted on X revealed that 94% of nearly 50,000 respondents support Candace Owens' investigation into the Charlie Kirk assassination, despite coordinated opposition from large accounts. The poll results demonstrate a significant disconnect between influential voices on social media and the actual beliefs of everyday people. Many critics were encouraged to share the poll and vote, yet the results remained overwhelmingly in favor of Candace's investigative work.

This disparity highlights what can be understood through the Pareto principle: approximately 20% of influencers control 80% of the influence on social media platforms, yet they don't necessarily represent what the majority actually believes. When examining the comments on posts from these large accounts criticizing Candace Owens, many of the most engaged responses actually disagree with the original posters. A challenge was extended to any of these large accounts to conduct their own polls, though none have accepted.

Additional Poll Results Show Truth-Seeking Audience

Another poll from a Candace Owens critic with over 40,000 followers revealed that 59.9% of respondents watch Candace Owens for pursuit of the truth. This result is particularly significant because it came from an account that has been blocked by Candace and is openly critical of her work. These metrics consistently demonstrate where public sentiment stands on the investigation and Candace's credibility as a truth-seeker.

The Bride of Charlie: Erika Kirk Connection Revealed

Candace Owens released the first episode of her investigation into Erika Kirk's history, introducing several aspects of her past while revealing a shocking connection. The most significant revelation involved Erica's family connection to Jack Solomon, who married Erica's aunt Carla Bronzef in 2002. Solomon has deep ties to Utah Valley University, where he created the Center for Jewish Studies and maintains significant influence.

Jack Solomon's wealth originated from the gambling industry. In 1968, Solomon and his business partner Norman Vance founded Advanced Patent Technology, which manufactured slot machines. By 1974, Solomon had gathered over $5 million to purchase United Coin, another slot machine manufacturer with profitable routes in Southern Nevada. In 1979, they announced plans for the Colorado Bell Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, marking the beginning of a series of hotels in the Las Vegas area.

Connection to Jewish Organized Crime

The connection between Erika Kirk's family and the gambling industry raises questions about possible ties to what was known as the Jewish Mafia. This organization was fundamental in developing the Las Vegas Strip and controlled Southwest gambling from the late 1940s through the 1970s. Key figures included Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Moe Dalitz, and Gus Greenbaum. Jewish and Italian American mobsters partnered to fund and manage casinos, which helped them bring in clean money through professional management with minimal criminal records.

These operations were modeled after Arnold Rothstein, known as "the Brain," who was the kingpin of the Jewish mob in New York City. He provided the infrastructure and organizational model for the entire operation. This historical context becomes particularly significant when considering that this same gambling influence and network of connections represents an environment from which figures like Jeffrey Epstein later emerged.

Significant Family Connections at Utah Valley University

The fact that Jack Solomon lives in Utah, graduated from Utah Valley University, and founded the Center for Jewish Studies there raises important questions about the events of September 10th. Charlie Kirk was assassinated at the very university where Erika Kirk has family connections and where a Zionist gate in Jerusalem was dedicated. This occurred the night after Charlie issued a message indicating he was turning his support and his organization away from the pro-Israel cause.

Questions arise about why these family connections couldn't have been utilized to obtain more video footage from the university or to provide additional security for the event. Brian Harpole, who was managing security that night, needed the UVU police to monitor rooftops, and they assured him they had it covered. Perhaps those family connections could have been more helpful in that situation.

Interview with John Yep: Charlie Kirk's Catholic Journey

John Yep, president of Catholics for Catholics, shared firsthand insights into Charlie Kirk's interest in Catholicism and their friendship. Their organization partnered with Turning Point USA as ballot chasing partners in the 2024 election, working with 2.1 million Catholic voters in seven swing states to help achieve what became the largest Catholic landslide in U.S. history for President Trump.

John's family knew Charlie from Illinois, from the Chicago suburb of Lemont where Turning Point USA started in that small garage. After reconnecting with Charlie following his time in seminary, John was struck by Charlie's first question at a 2022 TPUSA event: Charlie expressed his love for Catholics and asked to be connected with a Catholic priest. John facilitated those connections, and several priests became instrumental in Charlie and Erica's lives.

Text Messages Reveal Charlie's True Intentions

John shared previously unreleased text messages from May 2024 that definitively prove Charlie's interest in Catholicism went far beyond architecture. When Catholics for Catholics organized a welcome home mass for Candace Owens after her conversion, John texted Charlie about the event. In response to John's playful suggestion that they would do something similar "five notches" bigger when Charlie converted, Charlie responded that he had been trying to meet with the priest John had connected him with to discuss Catholicism specifically.

Charlie's text message explicitly stated: "I want to discuss Catholicism." He also wrote "I love Catholicism" and mentioned that he attended mass weekly. This directly contradicts the narrative being pushed by some that Charlie's interest was merely about architecture. The attempt to minimize Charlie's Catholic interests appears to be a deliberate effort to distance his legacy from a faith tradition that has very clear positions about how Catholics should view the modern state of Israel.

The Geopolitical Significance of Charlie's Faith Journey

The importance of Charlie's move toward Catholicism transcends denominational concerns. The closer Charlie got to Catholicism, the more his geopolitical positions shifted away from blind support for the 1948 state of Israel. These developments coincided directly. Catholicism teaches a clear condemnation of anti-Semitism, which is defined as hatred of Jewish people, and recognizes Israel's natural right to exist. However, the faith also rejects what has been termed "Zionism 101" – the idea that Christians have a biblical mandate to support the modern state of Israel unconditionally.

This shift in Charlie's thinking represented a direct challenge to significant donor interests at Turning Point USA. Many of these donors had reportedly made Charlie's life difficult in his final six months, pressuring him regarding his evolving positions on Israel and foreign policy. The attempt to downplay or erase Charlie's Catholic interests after his death appears connected to an effort to prevent his legacy from being associated with these theological and political positions.

TPUSA Faith and Catholic Representation

An anecdote about Turning Point USA Faith reveals Charlie's actual intentions for the organization. In 2024, when TPUSA Faith was having an event in Oklahoma, the speaker lineup lacked Catholic representation. After being questioned about this, Charlie initially defended the lineup by noting that Catholic speakers hadn't responded. However, when reminded that Catholics for Catholics had just delivered the largest breakout session at the People's Convention in Detroit with Donald Trump, Charlie immediately acknowledged the point and said "You're right. I'm going to correct that."

This exchange demonstrates that Charlie wanted full representation of different faith traditions and understood the importance of Catholic engagement. The current direction of TPUSA Faith, which appears heavily weighted toward evangelical Christian Zionism, doesn't align with what Charlie expressed as his vision for the organization.

Catholic Prayer for America Event and Controversy

Catholics for Catholics announced that Candace Owens would be speaking at their upcoming Catholic Prayer for America event at the Waldorf in Washington, D.C., on March 19th. This will be Candace's first public speaking appearance since the welcome home mass that Catholics for Catholics organized for her in Phoenix in May 2024. The event lineup also includes General Michael Flynn, Matt Walsh, Carrie Prejean Boller, and others.

The announcement has generated significant backlash from Zionist accounts and their supporters. The criticism intensified after the organization announced they would be presenting an award to Carrie Prejean Boller for her defense of religious liberty. Pine Bowler had served on President Trump's White House Religious Liberties Commission but was removed after asking whether a Catholic who doesn't embrace Zionism should be considered anti-Semitic. The Jewish individual she questioned answered essentially yes, creating a controversy that led to her dismissal by Dan Patrick, the committee chair.

The Carrie Prejean Boller Religious Liberty Case

The Carrie Prejean Boller situation reveals the extent to which religious liberty is being threatened for orthodox Christians who don't embrace Zionism. From the beginning of her tenure on the religious liberty commission, Pine Bowler was told not to discuss the war in Gaza or bring up issues related to the genocide occurring there. Her religious liberty was being restricted on a religious liberty commission.

When she attempted to bring Jewish rabbis from New York to support her position – rabbis who felt like "second rate Jews" because their first allegiance was to America rather than to a foreign state – she was denied that opportunity. Even some Catholic bishops who served on the panel failed to speak up in her defense. Catholics for Catholics decided to present her with an award for defending religious liberty, which drew additional criticism from figures like Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, and Seth Dillon.

Coordinated Opposition and Bot Activity

The pushback against both Candace Owens and the Catholic Prayer for America event shows signs of coordination. One common denominator in the criticism is the repeated use of the word "demon" to describe Candace. This same terminology appears consistently across emails and social media posts from critics, suggesting a coordinated messaging strategy. Many of the critical responses also appear to come from bot accounts rather than genuine users.

This coordinated opposition stands in stark contrast to the actual sentiment of real people, as demonstrated by multiple polls and comment sections. The influential accounts leading these attacks have been challenged to conduct their own polls but have refused, likely because they've seen the comments on their own posts and understand where public sentiment actually stands.

The Broader Battle Over Christian Zionism

The controversy surrounding Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk's legacy, and events like Catholic Prayer for America reflects a much larger theological and political battle. For most of Christian history, the theological position known as supersessionism was orthodox belief. This changed with the introduction of dispensationalism in the 18th century, which eventually became the foundation for Christian Zionism as it exists today in evangelical circles.

The return to or shift back toward more traditional Christian teaching represents a significant challenge to Zionist influence in conservative politics and media. Approximately 90% of Christians worldwide are not Christian Zionists. For those Christians to be told that rejecting Zionism makes them anti-Semitic represents a dangerous precedent, especially given the ongoing lawfare, monitoring, tracking, and censorship being directed at individuals deemed anti-Semitic by organizations like the ADL.

Christians as the Hardest to Control

Throughout history, those who practice their Christian faith seriously and commit their lives to it have proven to be the hardest people for authorities to control. This was true during COVID, and it remains true in current controversies surrounding the Epstein files and the Charlie Kirk investigation. Individuals whose primary allegiance is to God rather than to any man, party, or earthly authority naturally resist propaganda and government control.

This dynamic explains why there is such fierce opposition to orthodox Christian voices in media and politics. The founding of America itself was rooted in this principle – appealing to a higher power than government. The Declaration of Independence appeals to "the Supreme Judge," which the founders understood to be Jesus Christ. This tradition of allegiance to God above all earthly powers makes committed Christians particularly problematic for those seeking to control narratives and populations.

A Unique Moment for the Lay Faithful

The current moment represents a unique time in Christian history where the lay faithful are being called to militant action in defense of the faith in unprecedented ways. Throughout most of Christian history, it was primarily clergy who faced persecution and who led resistance movements. Today's battle against Zionist influence and control represents a massive movement among lay Christians to fight for their faith and principles.

While it will become increasingly difficult to be an orthodox Christian, Catholic, Orthodox, or non-Zionist Christian, this also represents an honor. These Christians get to stand in line with the Church that has been persecuted for 2,000 years. They get to put their lives on the line for their beliefs in a way that's particularly American – rooted in the principle of reporting to a higher power than government and appealing to the Supreme Judge, Jesus Christ.

The Question of Platform Growth and Motivations

Criticism has been leveled suggesting that some content creators have built their platforms solely off of Candace Owens coverage. However, analysis of actual growth patterns tells a different story. Accounts that maintain unwavering support for the current administration have seen explosive growth, while accounts that pursue truth even when it leads to criticism of powerful figures have seen slower, steadier growth.

Before focusing on the Charlie Kirk investigation and Zionism issues, rapid growth came from being supportive of Trump and the MAGA movement. That growth slowed significantly after publishing critical content about how the Epstein files were handled. The massive subscriber gains went to accounts that remained consistently positive about the administration. This pattern demonstrates that the real platform growth and influence comes from being an establishment supporter, not from covering controversial investigations.

The Epstein Files Anniversary

The anniversary of the Epstein files binder release marks a significant moment of betrayal. After building a platform as a MAGA supporter based on belief that Trump couldn't be bought and would work on behalf of the American people, the handling of the Epstein files represented a clear choice of elites over the people. Pam Bondi's handling of the release and the ultimate disappointment of what was revealed felt like a middle finger to those who had believed and supported the administration on this issue.

That moment sparked a crisis about whether to continue as merely an administration cheerleader or to pursue truth regardless of where it leads. The death of Charlie Kirk ultimately resolved that crisis. Realizing that people are willing to kill over these ideas demonstrated that the work must be extremely important. If the stakes are high enough for assassination, then the stakes are high enough to risk platform growth, subscriber counts, and establishment approval.
