What Politics made Charlie Kirk Expendable and Who Wanted It Done?
While the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk has been apprehended, many questions still remain. The longer any questions go unanswered, the more telling they will ultimately be.
The recent assassination of conservative commentator and activist Charlie Kirk has shocked the nation—not just because of the brutal nature of the crime, but because it bears all the hallmarks of a professional hit. The motive remains unclear, any financing remains hidden, and the unanswered questions multiply daily. For Geoffrey Gilson, this is a hauntingly familiar story.
Geoffrey Gilson, once a speechwriter for legendary British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a seasoned attorney knows about investigating mysterious deaths firsthand. In 1988, his close friend’s death was highly suspicious. He investigated it and wasn’t prepared for what he found.
In 1988, Gilson’s close friend and colleague Hugh Simmonds—a fellow political insider—died under circumstances that even now remain highly suspicious. Simmonds and Gilson wrote the speeches delivered by Margaret Thatcher. The death of Gilson’s friend, dismissed at the time as suicide, sparked questions that Gilson could not ignore. What began as a search for answers about his friend quickly drew him into a web of intelligence, geopolitics, and shadowy power plays that stretched far beyond Britain’s borders.
Today, as the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination unfolds, Gilson sees troubling parallels. Both Simmonds and Kirk were men whose political convictions placed them at the heart of ideological battles. Both deaths came at pivotal moments in their nations’ histories. And in both cases, the deeper one looks, the more the trail seems to lead away from ordinary crime and toward something far more complex—and potentially explosive.
Gilson is uniquely positioned to draw these comparisons. His firsthand experience navigating the murky world of clandestine politics, intelligence intrigue, and dangerous truths allows him to see what others miss. He knows that in cases like these, what is unsaid often matters more than what is said. Why would Kirk, a figure whose influence reached millions, become a target? What political or financial interests stood to gain from his elimination? Who benefits from silencing a conservative voice in an age of growing polarization?
The common thread between Hugh Simmonds in 1988 and Charlie Kirk in 2025 is politics—not the politics of campaigns and headlines, but the politics of power: secret, ruthless, and unforgiving. Gilson brings both the historical context and investigative tenacity to make sense of these tragedies.
His commentary does not just revisit the past; it shines a light on the present. For audiences asking not only what happened to Charlie Kirk but also why it happened, Geoffrey Gilson offers a voice with both personal authority and global perspective.
