The three largest types of Charlie Kerk conspiracy theories that flood the Internet

The conspiracy theories have been overwhelmed by the death of Charlie Kirk X, Tiktok and Instagram in recent days. Although Crackpot ideas have always followed events in the major world, there is no denial that they are more common and wide in the social media age.

Kirk, the right -wing ocean, is 31 years old, was killed and killed September 10 While speaking at Utah Valley University in Orim, Utah. The killing of the drawings was taken on a video of several angles because many people in the audience were filming its discussion, and they soon downloaded clips in the wake of this.

The 22 -year -old suspect, Tyler Robinson, handed over to the authorities late Thursday night local time, according to CNN. But the Internet was flooded with conspiracy theories about Kirk’s death, before and after the arrest of Robinson.

The FBI director, Cash Patel, appeared on Fox & Friends on Monday morning, where he made many claims about the officially submitted fire to a court so far, less certain. But if the most emerging image is true – this man who behaves alone by launching a rifle of the surface – many conspiracy theories that have emerged very ridiculous.

Below, we have some of the most common categories of conspiracy theories on social media today.

Amnesty International theories are a wrong man

After the shooting, the FBI released pictures of the suspect showing it in sunglasses. Low -quality screenshots were, which led people to X to play them via Grok in an attempt to get a better look. The problem is that playing images through artificial intelligence that you try to escalate does not give you a better or more accurate image.

Laura Loomer, who is a far -right and influencing with close relations with the White House, shared Three pictures After footage of the suspect was released by the FBI. One of the three pictures was the original screenshot. Two other improved fake pictures AI, giving their followers the impression that they were legitimate pictures of the man.

Does anyone know this man?

We looked at this problem earlier this month when people on social media were running Donald Trump’s photos through artificial intelligence. Upscaler gave Trump Giant On his forehead, which prompted people to insist as a serious medical condition. But this is what artificial intelligence of low -quality images. It will take shades or wrinkles on the person’s face and distort a picture while trying to make it more clear.

We have seen something similar to happening during the Oscars in 2022 when Will Smith Chris Rock slapped. The screenshots that people were taking from the TV appeared and then blown pixels. To fix this, people ran them through the young, creating something similar to the strange synthetic in the face of Rock. From there, a conspiracy theory appeared that there is a pillow to protect Rock music facePeople lead to insisting that the whole matter has been previously planned.

This is how conspiracy theories are now launched, and they can be incredibly predicted. In fact, when Gizmodo saw people on X they run pictures of the suspect in Kirk via Grok, we knew that people would do Inevitably Compare these fake pictures with real Mugshot. Certainly, this is exactly what happened.

Tiktok account is called Nick Policy Publish a video On Saturday, an Amnesty International’s image of the suspect was compared to Mugshot that was released.

“Well, these two different people here,” said the creator. “The mouth is different, the chin is different. The face is different.

This video raised 1.4 million views, which is an incredibly common feeling on other platforms such as X, as the prominent accounts Jackson Henkel Anastasia Maria Lubs focused on the mouths in both pictures. “They think you are stupid”, Loupis Tweet.

But the reason that they seem to be different is that the “improved” image of Amnesty International has not provided anyone with a more accurate impression of what the suspect seemed to. These tools are not magic and cannot provide you with a better idea of ​​its appearance. All computer has been settled from the information there. It appears that all people who grew up in TV programs where investigators can “enlarge and promote” this is what works in real life.

Theories “just look more difficult”

It is better to describe another large bucket than conspiracy theories as “just more difficult.” The idea is that if you are staring at someone in the background of a video clip from Kirk’s conversation, you will discover a plot hidden in sight.

This was a common tactic on X as millions of people watched KIRK very graphic videos that die across all major platforms. In the hours that followed Kirk, a popular theory appeared that someone standing to the right of Kirk is giving “signals” to some invisible shooters.

Obviously, there were no signals, and anyone could see. But the strength of the proposal, as well as watching the same horrific events that played over and over again, persuaded many people that completely natural behavior (there was only one person in his hand) was somehow suspicious.

One of the most strange allegations that still revolve on social media focuses on a man who was standing near Kirk while speaking on the campus. Help Val Venis, a former WWE wrestler who got the name Big Valbowski, helped to share the theory that the man whose name did not reveal used something called the “palm gun” that was hidden in his grip while moving his shirt to kill Kirk.

The claim is ridiculous, and it appears that the online DipShits has been attracted only to the idea because the man in the video scratches his arm at the same time as Kirk was shot. This is all seriously, as you can see in our censorship section below. There is no evidence that this man was doing anything but touching his arm.

One video shared by Venice has more than 17 million views on X at the time of writing this report. Others from Venice shares adjustments in the same incident that have several million. It is clear that there is nothing that exceeds the person who touches his arm and moves his shirt slightly.

“Everything is not transformed”

Another bucket of conspiracy theories of Charlie Kirk’s death includes the idea that killing should have been committed by a transient person. It seems that the wrong idea that transformed people are unparalleled as the killers seem to have roots in the 2023 school in Nashville, Tennessee, who killed seven people, including the shooter. The perpetrator in this case was already passing, and now X was immersed in allegations that the shooter should be transit whenever the new mass shooting conducted the news. like Politifact Notes, converted people are likely to be victims of violence instead of perpetrators.

After Kirk was killed, at least three different people were blamed for the shooting of X, through the number of Gizmodo. Participants have become viral with land claims about different people who have absolutely unrelated to Kirk’s death.

After it became clear that the suspect in this case was a man in Cisgender, the mob online tried to find other communications wherever it is possible. The Wall Street Journal initially reported on Thursday that the bullet covers in the scene somehow were “expressing transgender and physiological fascism,” noting a bulletin from ATF. While the newspaper edited the article Later in the day To say that such a claim must be treated with “caution”, the damage has been caused. It turned out that there was nothing on the skywood that mentioned the transit community.

It has become ridiculous that onions wrote even an article joking about how the suspect once had an Uber driver Which was crossed. But right -wing political participants online are still obsessed with the idea that converting people with a unique risk. The FBI director Cash Patel was asked if Robinson’s colleague in the room was transient and in a relationship with Robinson. Patel, which has a history of spread Conspiracy theories On the law and rebellion of January 6, he said this is true without providing any evidence.

Many unjustified questions remain

It is easy to understand the reason for the spread of conspiracy theories. When the case is revealed, there are completely reasonable questions about the facts that may not be known.

Effective questions about a motivation to shoot Kirk and the potential political affiliation of the suspect remain. It seems that the wrong information and misinformation can continue to work on social media and we learn more. Unfortunately, men like Kash Patel do not help the situation as they rush to publish X before all facts are really known.

Patel wrote on the day Kerke was killed, “The topic of shocking shooting today, which took Charlie Kerk’s life now being held“But that was too early.
