OF EXPLOSIONS AND ASSASSINATIONS: A TENUOUS CONNECTION

[EndtheMadnessNow]

October 27, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

If you're a regular reader here you'll have noticed that I've refrained from much public commentary on the sad assassination of Mr. Charlie Kirk last month during his visit to a Utah college campus. My reasons for doing so, or rather, not doing so, were basically two-fold. Firstly, I did not think nor feel extended comment or analysis was courteous. He, his family, friends, and followers deserved some privacy to grieve and process the whole thing. But secondly, it quickly became clear that, as the story began to be unfolded, there were massive problems with "the narrative." Planes were taking off from local airports under very suspicious circumstances. The alleged assassin supposedly pulled off a feat of marksmanship worthy of magic bullets, misaligned telescopic sites on World War Two Italian  bolt-action rifles, and Marine veterans who spent time in the Soviet Union and married the daughter of a colonel of Soviet military intelligence. Some witnesses were not so sure that the shots even came from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository roof of a college building, while film videos of the event surfaced strongly suggesting that the kill shot came from the Grassy Knoll from behind the victim, while in both cases the security seemed to have been inadequate and stripped from the intended victim.

The parallels, when one gets right down to it, are uncanny... and profoundly disturbing.

Then there was this seemingly unrelated story of an explosion of a munitions plant in Tennessee (we are grateful to V.T. for pointing this one out):

Investigators Identify Origin of Massive Tennessee Bomb-factory Blast

Note the following points: (1) The name of the affected firm is A.E.S., or Accurate Energetic Systems, and sadly, the entire factory was destroyed and sixteen people died in the explosion:

The explosion took place at the Accurate Energetic Systems facility in Bucksnort, about 90 minutes west of Nashville, on 10 October. Sixteen people were killed and the factory was destroyed, along with large quantities of munitions.

As to what caused the explosion, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is presently not saying, noting only that up to 28,000 pounds of explosives were detonated, and that the result will probably have effects on the U.S.A.'s military supply chain:

“They have developed multiple scientific hypotheses regarding what caused this tragedy,” ATF Special Agent in Charge Jamey VanVliet said at a press conference outside of the AES plant on Friday.

“The building contained a mezzanine level with six melting kettles, and the main floor contained at least three production kettles,” said Brice McCracken, special agent in charge of the ATF’s National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR).

Between 24,000 and 28,000 lb of explosives detonated during the explosion.


Although the investigators said they’ve identified the area where the explosion took place, they did not announce an official cause and refused to speculate about it.

The next phase of the investigation will attempt to determine the cause.


“The next phase of this investigation happens at ATF labs and testing facilities, where the evidence collected from the scene will be analyzed, examined, and tested,” VanVliet said.

All on-site examinations have been concluded and the site has been handed back to AES.

Last week, defense experts warned the explosion could have a severe impact on military supply chains, which are already under severe strain because of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The US has provided four million artillery shells to Ukraine since the war began in 2022.

These points led me previously to speculate that perhaps this event was an act in an ongoing "covert hot war" being waged between the USA and its geopolitical rivals. After all, this website covered a series of similar explosions in Russian, Chinese, French, British, and German facilities in years past, and speculated that they were perhaps the result of covert operations (as a simple search for the blogs on this website's search engine will reveal). Usually I accompanied these early munitions plants explosions with the warning "covert operations are a game two can play," trying to warn the insane leadership of the West that if they were indeed involved in sanctioning covert sabotage of rivals' ammunition plants and other facilities, they could expect retaliation.

But in this case, a story has emerged that there might be an entirely different connection to the  Tennessee munitions plant explosion: Mr. Kirk's assassination(story also courtesy of V.T.):

Unraveling the Mystery of Who Assassinated Charlie Kirk and Why

There is much in this article to ponder, for example, problems with the emerging "official narrative":

The official FBI narrative is preposterous and has been thoroughly debunked by many independent investigative reporters. A few of many specifics: snipers, veterans, gun enthusiasts and hunters agree the magic 30-06 bullet would have blown the back of Charlie’s head off. Despite the claims of Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec and other influencers that we all saw a leftist shoot Charlie (we didn’t), no video of Tyler Robinson shooting the rifle has been released. Why is that? And why was the crime scene destroyed?) Robinson may indeed be the man seen running across the roof, but despite the 2024 installation of 1,000+ state of the art cameras on UVU grounds, the video released to the public was too far away to actually identify who was running.

But my focus was upon this important paragraph, because it deals with a theory which, like the article's authoress, I originally rejected, but am coming to at least entertain, and it is here that the tenuous connection to the Tennessee munitions plant explosion emerges:

The scenario that seems the most plausible to me is there were two events. Video and photo analysis and audio forensics indicate perhaps a subsonic projectile shot and what has been dubbed the “exploding microphone” theory promoted by Jon Bray in his highly technical analytical videos and explanations on X.

I dismissed this hypothesis weeks ago but revisited it when additional facts were uncovered. Charlie’s black microphone clasp seen on his white t-shirt was connected to a RODE battery beneath his shirt that contained a shaped charge – a plastic explosive, metal cone and pellet. The device was remotely detonated by someone in the audience, possibly the security guard wearing the beige plaid shirt standing directly in front of Charlie when he touched his arm at the exact moment Kirk was hit. The magnetic clasp/mic was propelled into his neck and then fell out of his neck making the entry point also the exit wound.

A video can be seen of this object entering and exiting his neck, although it is possible the video was altered. Many dismiss this theory because no burn marks were left on his shirt, however, the residue could have been crystals which would eliminate any scorching. This scenario would involve high-tech, perhaps even classified technology.

According to UFO and assassinations expert Daniel Liszt, known as Dark Journalist, advanced technology is always used in assassinations. This theory is the only one that explains the extreme billowing of Charlie’s shirt in front and back.

Additionally, it was discovered that a company in Tennessee, Accurate Energetic Systems, received a contract from May-August 2025 to manufacture “miniaturized demolition charges anti-personnel to support special purpose missions.” AES delivered the product and then the factory was totally demolished in September prior to the murder. A shot may have occurred simultaneously from a low velocity gun or rifle as a decoy to cover for the high tech explosion but perhaps also for redundancy purposes. (Emphasis added)

Other than getting the timing of the munitions plant explosion relative to Mr. Kirk's death wrong( the two events occurred exactly a month apart, but Mr. Kirk was murdered first, on Sept. 10, 2025, and the plant exploded on Oct 10, 2025), the article makes the astonishing assertion that the company's specialty was miniaturized explosive devices, such as pagers and cell phones that can be detonated remotely at the push of a button.

It does not take a great leap of the imagination to see that small lapel microphones could be made to fire a close range projectile, and with great close range accuracy. They are, after all, fixed to the lapel of the intended target, and can thus be aligned to the target.  If so, then the explosion of the munitions factory follows the pattern in evidence in Utah: destruction of the crime scene (and therefore of evidence), elimination of witnesses (the employees at the plant), selection of a patsy, and so on.

While a glance at the company's website suggests that it would have been capable of fabricating such a device, I do not think it was involved at all, except in a very tenuous way, for as is more probably the case, it provided the perpetrators with the talent pool of expert consultation necessary for someone else to fabricate such a miniature demolition device. Indeed, it seems highly unlikely that the company itself would be involved in a one-off production of an exploding lapel microphone sort of one-shot-derringer contraption, even though the company's name is, after all, "Accurate Energetic Systems".

In any case, some employee or employees might have had the expertise to do so under private "contract":

Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC

Note the following statements from the site:

Our core areas of expertise include:

• Pelletized Explosives
  
• Casting Specialty Melt Pour Explosives
  
• Fabricating Energetic Devices
  
• Load, Assemble, Pack (LAP)
  
• Manufacturing and Processing Bulk Explosives (emphasis added)
  

And this, which seems particularly relevant to the article's assertions:

• Explosives melt pour processing: This area consists of two multi-level buildings purpose built for explosive melt pour operations. Each building contains specialized equipment for controlled melting, pouring and cooling of explosive compositions. Examples of cast items include mining boosters, warheads, grenades, mortars, shaped charges and TNT cylinders. A reactor for granular explosive composition processing is also located in this area.
  

Time will tell, of course, if any of this high octane speculation gains more traction as more information emerges. But the implications are very clear if the speculation be true: deep and covert expertise and sophisticated secret planning was involved, and the players themselves are broad and extensive, with the ability to literally eliminate not just one, but two potential crime scenes. And small explosive devices in cell phones? Well, that too has been tried, and I suspect every reader here knows who did that.

See you on the flip side...

I'm buying neither the shaped charge theory nor the exploding microphone theory.

Shaped charged do not have "pellets" in them as mentioned in the article. The projectile of a shaped charge is formed by a metallic lining on the shaped charge itself. As the explosive rapidly burns from the back (detonator) forward, the force of the explosion rolls up the metallic charge lining into a projectile which is then thrown forward by the force of the blast and through an armored target. I have doubts that Charlie's neck was armored.

The exploding microphone theory is, likewise, not viable. How would one fit both a chamber and a barrel into a microphone? Without a chamber, the explosive would not be contained, and would exit the explosion in more or less every direction equally. Toss a .22 shell into a campfire sometime and then stand back, and you'll see what I mean. The powder blows and merely pops the bullet out of the casing, because it is not contained to propel the bullet forward. For the projectile to be directed into Charlie's (unarmored) neck, there would have to be a means of directing it - i.e. a barrel. Not to mention that there would also have to be a firing mechanism... and all of that is quite a lot to try to pack into a lapel microphone.

I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but in this case I have yet to see anything, anything at all, that is a viable alternative to what the FBI said about the incident.

There is some question as to how a .30-06 round managed to hit the C2 vertebrae and then travel down the spinal column to the T1 vertebrae where it was lodged, but stranger things have happened - I've see bullets blow half the top of a man's head off, and I've also seen them punch straight through a man leaving a little hole all the way through and failing to drop him.

Stuff happens, and sometimes you just can't predict how or why - it just did what it did. A fairly exhaustive audio analysis by an independent (non-governmental) analyst confirmed the velocity (roughly - sub sonic vs. hyper sonic. It was a hyper sonic round; it had both the report of the shot and a supersonic "crack" as the bullet passed the various nicrophones) and direction of the shot (using triangulation by timing  several different recordings), and that's good enough for me.

I've also seen some arm-chair shrinks say some terrible things about Charlie's wife's reaction. They ought to be ashamed of their damned selves, and definitely shouldn't quit their day jobs to embark on a career in forensic psychology - they'd starve to damned death if they did. They've clearly not had much experience with shock or death.
Folks don't always react predictably. Life isn't stamped out by cookie-cutters. As an example, when my Dear Old Dad died, I rode 300 miles in the hearse, sitting on the coffin, to deliver him to the graveyard in another state, and never shed the first tear that entire time. I have since, but not at the time. I waited until late in the evening of the day we planted him, when I was alone, to lose my shit. Losing it in front of my ma or my sisters was not an option. Everyone was already stricken enough without needing an explosive display.

Some folks just hold their shit together while the iron is in the fire, and can fall all to hell later at their leisure after all is said and done.
