A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.

The site, Expose Charlie’s Murderers, launched hours after the assassination of the right-wing influencer, 31, in September. It promised a searchable trove of names and workplaces for “the largest firing operation in history,” according to Drop Site’s review of the now-offline project.

The site listed six crypto wallets and raised more than $30,000 between Sept. 12 and 14 before repeatedly going dark, resurfacing as the “Charlie Kirk Data Foundation,” and disappearing again, Drop Site reported.

    You all know about the Salem witch trials right. ? (This is relevant, I promise).

    So I always figured if I had been accused of witch craft, firstly I would admit it immediately, cause they would just torture me until I did, so may as well spare myself having my fingernails pulled off or whatever it is they would do.

    But I figured I’d take down as many as I could.

    First I’d give them this grand salacious spicy story of doing it with the devil in the woods. First I’d mention one of the other gals who has already been convicted of being a witch (to give me some credibility). She was definitely there.

    But then… I’d start mentioning some other women.

    Wives. Daughters. Of the clergy. The women who were pushing for my arrest. I’d say we had a Satan orgy.

    Might throw in some details about her nipples or pubic hair that would likely be true. But purely a guess. Just to prove I had seen her naked.

    If I knew of any birth marks or something I’d def use that.

    As my story grew I would add more and more names. The story would be so suspenseful. So much detail. It would have to be true.

    And that’s how I’d take the whole lot of them down with me.

    Why do I share this historic revenge fantasy with you all.?

    Why because we could apply it to any modern situation with the gop crackdown on dissenters and antifa.

    They want to come after us. Interrogate us.

    Give them likely credible accomplices who are already flagged. But then start leaking in their own.

    Causing suspicion. Causing doubt. Paranoia.

    Take them all down with you.

    Admit you were doing whatever they accused you of. But insist you have accomplices from their side. Have somethinh prepared a head of time to look credible. Like dates they were in specific locations and such.

    I feel like I have to explain myself a bit because this all sounds rather dark.

    -Im actually a really friendly pleasant person most of the time. but I have a very strong aversion to injustice (especially to vulnerable people,) and I typically support vigilantes (when the system fails them).

    Idk. When I was a kid learning about the Salem witch trials and Anne Frank. I thought. What could these women had done differently to at least take the bad guys out on their way out?

    If I recall. Part of the reason the witch hunting stopped was because women would do as I suggested. They started naming high ranking women as collaborators and even some of the men.

    Start a website. Name obvious leftest who are anti Kirk.

    But then start leaking in their own members.

    Definitely ask for donations.

        Yes. And we could donate to food banks or something.

        Also the best way to fake an affiliation is to copy a real one and change a few things.

        It looks legit if it was from a legit source. (I’m not going to say why I know this works but it works very well if you do it the way I instruct).

        Copy paragraphs from proud boys and heritage foundation sites. They all plagiarize so no shame in us doing it to them. Change out some images. Keep to the same styles on the maga affiliation websites. They have styles and trends. Follow them.

        When you try to fake an identity , it’s often influenced by your stereotypes you hold about that group. And it will show. It’s why under cover cops can so easily be spotted by some of us.

        They look like 40 year old men trying to “look cool” based on what they think drug culture thinks is cool. It’s rather amusing and they stick out to anyone who can recognize them.

        But we have to be concerned about something similar.

        I don’t think most maga are smart enough to recognize fake websites. Like … they watch fox.
        They seem highly gullible. But best to not underestimate them. One smarter dude pointing out some inconsistencies could end the ruse and then they will be on high alert.
