Investigation of Charlie Kirk's Assassination

I'm gonna briefly describe the role of the National Counterterrorism Center in the

investigation of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

So NCTC analysts are a part of every joint terrorism task force

throughout the entire country. The JTTFs are typically led by the FBI.

NCTC's role within the JTTF is to determine if there is

any foreign nexus. So that would be a foreign country,

a foreign government, a

foreign individual, a foreign company, uh, if there's any foreign

connection or nexus to an act of domestic terrorism like the

assassination of Charlie Kirk. So that's what NCTC analysts

were doing as part of the JTTF, uh, to assist the

investigation of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

So NCTC analysts were operating at the request of the

FBI to determine if there was any kind of foreign connection

or foreign nexus

to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

So NCTC is a unique organization within the intelligence

community. It's part of the intelligence community.

It can see all the operational traffic, all the raw reporting coming

from the forward-facing, uh, intelligence community, the CIA, the

DIA, the NSA, et cetera, but it can also see the raw

operational reporting coming from the FBI and other federal law enforcement

agencies. And it, it does this, it has this authority in order to connect

the dots. NCTC was formed after nine eleven because

of the failures

of the CIA and FBI and their inability to communicate prior

to nine

eleven. So NCTC has that unique role.

That's why we're part of the JTTF. So at the request of the FBI, we were

looking to see if there was any kind of foreign nexus

or connection to the

assassination of Charlie Kirk. Uh, in very short order,

we were told that our services were no longer required,

that we no longer had

access to the repository the FBI had, where all the information on the

investigation was being kept. And then the FBI tr--

said shortly thereafter they

were gonna hand over the investigation to the Utah law enforcement.

I, I protested, I disagreed. I thought that we still had a lot more

work to do.

I still believe that to this day, that we had more, uh, leads to run down to

determine if there was any kind of foreign connection.

I'm not saying there definitively was.

I am only saying that we still had more work to do to

ensure that we actually

did our due diligence to ensure there was no foreign nexus to Charlie Kirk's

assassination. A big issue that I have, and I think many others have about the

assassination, is that, you know, we've been told that there's just a lone

gunman

that, that's involved and responsible, and that process is playing out in court.

However, there was people that were posting online ahead of Charlie's

assassination that he was gonna be killed that day in, in Utah.

So that strongly indicates that there were more people involved in the plot to

kill Charlie Kirk. So I think it's critical

that we continue to ask who killed

Charlie Kirk, how, and why. And I'll just close with a Charlie Kirk

quote that it is critical that we continue to ask questions

because it is the only thing that keeps us free.

Thank you, and God bless.
