Why does this not terrify everyone?




You may be wondering 2 things. 1) What happened to Trump? Who is he listening to? 2) Why does it feel like the internet isn’t real and engagement is fluctuating based on “particular topics” lately? I think I can help answer both questions. There is a company called Vine & Fig Tree (VFT). VFT is a pro-Israel organization with ties to the administration. Earlier this year, VFT was at the White House meeting with Sebastian Gorka. Shortly after that White House meeting, I was contacted through a third party and asked to script-write for VFT. The individual who contacted me is publicly very Christian and widely perceived as America First. I was told the script would be used to create an AI-generated video on behalf of the White House, specifically for NSC and Sebastian Gorka. They told me: “Yeah we have to do this on behalf of them [the administration] because they don’t want it to look like it’s actually coming from the WH.. you know what I mean? I mean, it worked out for them and Nick Shirley.” I was then given a Dropbox link containing research, polling data, internal comments, and strategy material compiled by VFT and the third party involved. Inside the Dropbox were 7 folders. Through those documents, I learned more about what this organization actually does. Their reports monitor major conservative and "dissident-right" accounts and frequently frame those accounts as vulnerable to, or participating in, foreign influence operations. The reports include information regarding @NickFuentes, @hodgetwins, @RealCandaceO, @TuckerCarlson, @jacksonhinklle, @IanCarrollShow, and @MarioNawfal just to name a few. They also collected polling and response data surrounding @joekent16jan19’s resignation from the administration. In another report, they argue that distrust surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination was mostly due to Americans falling for Russian, Iranian, and Pakistani propaganda networks. In that same Charlie Kirk report they state, "This represents an urgent national security threat... and demands a whole-of-government response on par with cyberattacks or terrorism." The internal comments attached to these reports are what stood out most. They talk about "going after" Fuentes, stating "undermining his Christian identity is probably a good Idea." They contemplate "getting" @MattWalshBlog or @michaeljknowles to publish on behalf of VFT. They suggest collaborating with NCRI, founded by Joel Finkelstein - a multi-million dollar organization that tracks "hate speech" on social media. Another internal comment weighs in on how they will advise politicians based on their data which also compiles info surrounding JD Vance's 2028 run: “There is definitely a way to use this in our favor: tell politicians that there are two wings of the party, they don’t overlap, the majority lies here, and this is where you should be if you want to get re-elected..." The documents also discuss: Burner profiles, burner ad accounts, AI-generated interview-style videos, audience personas, “troll content briefs”, engagement testing, and ideological audience segmentation. If you're wondering whether the White House is actually listening to VFT... It's worth reviewing the White House's latest 16-page Counterterrorism Strategy touted by Gorka. More to follow.







That photo is one of my many favorite memories with my husband. It was taken the day I graduated from Liberty University with my Juris Master degree, while he received an honorary doctorate and spoke at my commencement ceremony. Thank you for honoring my Charlie. Congratulations to the Class of 2026. I pray these words from my husband inspire you onward.

Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet. For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission. Her health was treated as a background inconvenience. When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her. She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain. It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops. Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.











You’re right, Candace. The video is crucial, which is why I asked @TPUSA to see it. I approached them in good faith, and they agreed. It’s real, and multiple people who were in Aspen that day remember the moment. The video does matter, but it’s not the only reason the board voted to appoint Erika. I spoke to several Turning Point donors and close friends of Charlie who revealed that after Butler, there was a very real fear about his safety and the future of his organization. Charlie reassured them: He would leave Turning Point to Erika and the board to carry on the mission if the worst happened.




Hi Charlie, May I ask why you wrote that you contacted me to no avail when this did not happen? In fact you were in communication with and received a response from Mitchell regarding a separate matter this month and you never once asked any questions about access to donors who dispute this video. Separately, can you make any logical sense out of why they chose to introduce the audio to the public without the video component? Respectfully, is your skill set AI? Were you the correct person to assess whether the video was real or made by the Hollywood A.I company that Turning Point met with following Charlie’s death? Were you even aware they met with an A.I company that specializes in post-humous video making? Does that at all strike you as odd? I don’t doubt your sincerity, but you underestimate their cunning and technological capabilities. I am personally in possession of material from Aspen which could easily identify whether the video they showed you was adapted using A.I. I suspect they know that.
