The Death of MAGA (and Charlie Kirk)

An Autopsy on the Populist Conservative Movement that Defined an American Decade

They told you “Make America Great Again” was about putting America First—but we all saw that our grassroots conservative and libertarian movement was systematically hijacked. In my new book, The Death of MAGA (and Charlie Kirk), I trace the shocking timeline of how the anti-interventionist energy of the Ron Paul revolution was co-opted by the very neoconservative elite we fought to tear down. I expose how the promises made to millions of patriotic Americans were traded away for deep-state regime-change agendas, ultimately orchestrating our march into a catastrophic foreign war.

This isn’t just a political retrospective; it is an urgent, unvarnished investigation into the silencing of anti-interventionist leaders, the suspicious execution of Charlie Kirk, and the betrayal of conservative and libertarian populism. If you want to understand who really pulls the strings in Washington, why our foreign policy remains trapped in endless conflict, and how we can reclaim a true vision for American liberty, this is the book you cannot afford to ignore.

The Death of MAGA is scheduled for release in Spring, 2027.

What is the Death of MAGA (and Charlie Kirk) book about?

The Death of MAGA (and Charlie Kirk) will highlight the MAGA political movement’s road to destruction, led by its destructor, President Donald Trump. More importantly, it will ask vital questions surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death and the buildup toward the war in Iran. As former National Security Director Joe Kent said, “we have multiple data points” that should be investigated.

Californication: The Rise of the American Technocracy is a comprehensive analysis of the motivations and consequences of the burdensome regulatory environment that currently plagues the United States. The US is currently experiencing a new-age Communist revolution, and most of its citizenry are entirely unaware. The record will show that multiple crises in the last thirty years, such as 9/11, the 2008 economic crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, have provided a new opportunity for those looking to destroy the United States.
