Trump Youth Leader Charles Kirk Assassinated, Another Target of Kyiv’s Enemies List
Sept. 11—Charles Kirk, the executive director of Turning Point USA, was assassinated today in Utah, having been cited multiple times in 2023 and 2024 by Ukraine’s infamous Center for Countering Disinformation for “spreading pro-Russian narratives in the West.” Such a designation put Kirk into the CCD’s category of an “information terrorist,” someone who should be treated as an actual terrorist. The CCD defined information terrorism as:
“A Crime against Humanity committed by means of instruments affecting the consciousness,” putting people who publicly criticize Kiev’s government on the same level of people who employ physical violence to terrorize. The CCD is a subdivision of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, part of its Office of the President. Before 2022, Kiev’s target list, maintained by the Myrotvorets gang, concentrated on Ukrainian enemies, and several of the targets were assassinated. In 2022, the CCD expanded such “information terrorists” to include targets outside of Ukraine, including Americans. Background on their operations is available at and at.
In 2023, the CCD objected specifically to Kirk’s calling for an end to the American provision of financial aid to Ukraine and criticizing the activities of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; but they also cited as another offense, his praise of the BRICS.
The 31-year-old had played a significant in Trump's 2024 victory. He organized a network of tens of thousands of young people to deploy to battleground and other states, specifically charged with organizing people to register and to vote for Trump, including in early voting. Kirk's warriors especially targeted young people, especially those who no longer believed the popular narratives, and trolled the internet in search of the truth and new ideas. His efforts succeeded in gaining Trump a double digit increase in young voters over the 2020 election, and along with increased GOP registrations and other votes, provided Trump with his margin of victory.
Kirk preached that people need to be willing to engage in open debate with everyone about things they believed important, which he said was an American tradition. There should be no efforts to restrict or program this debate, and everyone should be allowed to question his and their own beliefs. He toured college campuses, practicing what he preached, and was doing so when he was murdered.
In May, Kirk hosted Vice-President J.D. Vance on his show.
Today he was shot and killed while fielding questions on a Utah campus. Authorities said the shooter, who had fired from a rooftop on campus some distance away, is still at large. Sources say that this appears to be a highly organzied and professional hit of the type carried out through agents of NATO's international assassination bureau which trains and deploys Ukrainian assassins. Sources believe that this NATO network ran the assassination attempt against Trump in Bethel, Pa. In July 2024; these intelligence sources say that the attempt, which nearly succeeded but for a random turn of Trump's head, was done with collaboration from NATO's supporters inside the U.S. government.
Kirk, who called for a full and open investigation of the Trump assassination attempts, was an open and bitter opponent of NATO and its Ukrainian proxies, who he argued refused to hear what the Russians or anyone else was saying, and acted like Nazis in their repression of Russian speakers in Ukraine.
Kirk was also named as a target on two other regime-tied Ukrainian hitlists. Molfar OSINT (now rebranded as Molfar Intelligence Firm) included Kirk on their list of so-called Russian “Foreign Propagandists” and “Enemies of Ukraine,” published in February, 2023. Molfar brags that a major part of its work is with and for Ukrainian military intelligence, providing target lists. When Ukraine’s pro-regime Texty Data Journalism Agency published its enemies list of 390 Americans and 76 organizations on June 6, 2024, titled “Roller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it”—Kirk was again included. Again, this was because his Turning Point USA “opposes U.S. involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and advocates for an end to U.S. aid to Ukraine.”
Other Americans who have been targeted by Kiev’s multiple hitlists range from Vice President J.D. Vance and DNI Tulsi Gabbard to Sen. Rand Paul, The LaRouche Organization’s Diane Sare, a former candidate for U.S. Senate, peace activists Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter, among other such notables.
Russia’s Deputy Security Council Chairman and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev posted Sept. 10: “Political crimes and assassinations have been carried out lately by a variety of left-wing liberal scum who support Banderite Kyiv regime]. Fico, Kirk. Who’s next? Maybe it’s time for the MAGA team to realize that by supporting Ukraine, they’re supporting murderers.” Of note, Kyiv has celebrated Stepan Bandera and his Banderite followers, Ukrainian collaborators with Hitler's Nazis in World War II. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, a critic of the West’s use of Ukraine in a proxy war, survived an assassination attempt in May last year, as did then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump in July 2024
