MIRTH QUAKE will be up and running next week with one (or two) shows, but for the next couple of days, I'm taking a break from all things internet to dive into some creative works.
Today I'm only using my platforms to address Charlie Kirk's murder.
It is heavy on my heart and heavy on my mind, and I've taken some time to pray, reflect, and gather my thoughts.
MIRTH QUAKE is my creation. It is a monthly out-of-pocket expense that I do not monetize (Aside from profit on a few inconsequential merch sales). I invest significant time and energy on the show because I believe that the ability to create is a gift given to us by God, and that so many of you are beautiful examples of that.
This show exists to promote people first. Celebrate creation second, and promote product last. I consider myself only an advocate for creativity. I also consider myself an American patriot.
My Grandparents escaped a communist shit-hole in not much more than a rowboat on stormy seas in the middle of the night nearly 70 years ago. The former Yugoslavia was a dangerous place for dissent. They escaped under cover of secrecy, and risked their lives so mine could flourish in the land of the free.
I am also a huge advocate of the 2nd Amendment and I sharpened both my writing skills and my wit running a small pro-2A blog beside many fellow gun bloggers back in the mid 00s.
My son is named after Thomas Jefferson. He's 16, politically active, and like many, very confused and upset. We had a long heart-to-heart about it last night. He watched Charlie Kirk's open, civil debate videos, just like I did. We'd play some of them in the car while driving to occupy time. It prompted great discussions between us as father/son.
Teenagers should not be made to feel the way my boy felt last night. They should not have the image of Charlie's moment of being called home to Christ burned in their memory.
But here we are.
So let me state this with absolute clarity to all of you reading this (and feel free to amplify it for those outside the MIRTH QUAKE community):
If you, for a nanosecond, felt anything resembling joy after the news of Charlie Kirk's murder ...
If you, for a nanosecond, felt that Charlie Kirk "deserved" it due to his words ...
If you, for a nanosecond, felt that he "got what was coming to him."
Leave my life.
Do not associate with me. I will not platform you. I cannot lie and promote you as a decent human being. You are not welcome here. MIRTH QUAKE is not for you. Don't watch the show. Don't subscribe to the YouTube channel. Don't follow me, or any of my projects, anywhere. Don't consume any art I produce. Don't buy my books. Don't listen to my music.
Family, friend, or peer. Leave. You are not wanted. You are not welcome.
Unfollow me. Block me. Never speak my name. I believe you are corrupted. Demonic, even. I'll pray for your blackened heart, but I do not want you anywhere near me, near my platform, or near my family.
I don't say this with anger, and I don't say it with hatred. I say it with complete and total disgust toward you, your opinions, and every single thing your corrupt mind produces.
May God turn your heart.
Much love to you and the family, brother. Take all the time you need. We have your back.
Thank you. God bless you and yours, and all our “family."
