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.

      When you control the media, you have an endless amounts of ignorant or gullible people to swindle.

      You tell 300 million people that a man is a gang member, a criminal, a terrible person and they are the cause of the problems around you. They are the reason you see murders on the news everyday.

      You don’t need evidence, you just say it. Then Noem says it, then some random racist cherry picks incidents to show as evidence. Fox focuses all their interviews around pointing blame at them without usually actually saying it directly. Newsmax repeats it. CBS, NBC, CNN all call them alleged criminals.

      So 300 million people keep hearing and seeing it and some start to repeat it. Still without any actual evidence. And you are giving people an easy way out. My problems aren’t my own, the people who are around me are struggling because *checks notes… the people who were causing less crime, oops can’t say that. The people who are different than me, are causing it. Some of them even have their own cultures or languages that I don’t understand! It must be their fault. It wasn’t like this when people grew up in (pulls out rose tinted glasses and makes excuses for everything bad that happened during those times).

      Life only gets worse as wealth becomes scarce. Wealth becomes scarce for the majority when it gets hoarded by the few.

      Why did life appear to get better for a number of years, what was the great depression, maybe charts like these show something…

      It should be 90% of the population voting to spread the wealth. Yet with the media controlled by the wealthy, we are easier to manipulate
