#318 Candace Owens - The Most Sued Woman in American Media

Early Career via Viral Content and Political Emergence

Candace Owens begins her rise to prominence in the fall of 2017 by launching her YouTube channel, Red Pill Black, at a time when the Black Lives Matter movement is a major topic. Her early videos, including a comedic skit, gain considerable traction for a new content creator, with one particular video lifted and reposted by the account Anomaly achieving a viral reach of 26 million views. This explosion of attention brings her invitations to appear on Fox News, particularly via Jesse Watters’ team on "Watters World." Owens is subsequently invited to David Horowitz's Freedom Center, where she meets Charlie Kirk. Impressed by her communication skills and viral reach, Kirk promptly hires her to create video content and then to become Turning Point USA’s communications director.

From Video Creator to Communications Director: Building Turning Point USA Into a Political Force

At Turning Point USA, the organization is still small, operating with less than $10 million annually, evoking a startup environment. Owens emphasizes the close, hardworking relationship she and Kirk share as they build the organization and travel extensively for events and media appearances. The pivotal moment arrives when Kanye West tweets about her, thrusting Turning Point firmly into the national limelight and bringing increased attention and donor funding. The organization rapidly becomes more corporatized as new staff are hired to handle PR and donations, fundamentally changing its culture and mission. Owens reflects on the shift from the fun, startup days to a more politicized landscape where donor interests increasingly shape the agenda.

Strategic Hiring at PragerU Before Daily Wire Transition

Owens’ tenure at Turning Point USA ends after a controversy involving a misleading video clip of her discussing nationalism in London, which is circulated to appear as if she supported Hitler. This out-of-context video triggers condemnation from powerful groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center, leading donors to pressure Charlie Kirk to distance the organization from her. At this critical juncture, PragerU’s CEO Marissa Manger, an ex-Mossad agent with explicit Zionist goals, reaches out with a lucrative offer and offers to “fix” the controversy. Manger takes Owens to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, where a Hebrew-speaking rabbi dispels the backlash, and the scandal dissipates. This marks Owens’ transition from Turning Point USA to PragerU as a strategic hire.

The Daily Wire and Organizational Control Pattern

After PragerU, Owens joins The Daily Wire, where she signs a multi-year contract. Her three-year tenure ends in controversy following her refusal to publicly condemn Kanye West after his “Def Con 3” tweet. The Daily Wire—citing pressure from CEO Jeremy Boring and concerns about Ben Shapiro’s network—demands a statement from Owens which she refuses, resulting in the company voiding millions in contract money and ultimately firing her. Owens describes the process as hostile, with the company creating a 30-page document of alleged offenses, including fabricated conspiracy theories about her supposed collaboration with Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and ludicrously interpreting her Twitter likes and podcast episodes as disparagement.

Boring employs non-disparagement clauses to bar Owens from defending herself, instead using contractor Andrew Klavan to criticize her. When The Daily Wire subsequently suffers subscriber losses following the fallout, they sue Owens, claiming her Twitter activity caused financial damages and pursuing monetary penalties—at times $300,000 or even $1 million per alleged offense. Owens relates these lawsuits to the wider pattern at Daily Wire, where similar legal actions were taken against other employees such as Brett Cooper, even for trivialities like wearing a blue shirt, which w ...

The investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk raises numerous troubling questions, with emerging evidence and testimony undermining the official narrative and signaling the presence of a sophisticated cover-up. Eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, and unusual actions by authorities and event staff point to a scenario far more complex than initially reported.

Analysis Of Shooting Incident and Aftermath

Charlie Kirk Shot At Campus Event On September 10; Inconsistencies in .30-06 Rifle Claim, Cpr Accounts, and Hospital Descriptions Emerge

On September 10, Charlie Kirk was shot during a campus event. The official account suggested a .30-06 rifle was used. However, conflicting details soon surfaced—particularly about the nature of Kirk’s injuries and the aftermath. Candace Owens recounts that, at the funeral, Kirk’s wife Erica, accompanied by Andrew Colvet, called the attending surgeon to construct a plausible explanation for Kirk's survival, since the .30-06 bullet reportedly did not pass through as expected. The surgeon, unaware of an actual .30-06 being involved, speculated about a frangible bullet but seemed perplexed by the line of questioning, highlighting the foundational uncertainty about the ballistic narrative. Public explanations referenced a “miracle,” even crediting Kirk’s healthy lifestyle as a reason he survived a wound that would “take down a moose.” This narrative was disseminated by Colvet’s tweet and reinforced by Erica’s assertion that Charlie’s healthy diet made his neck “man of steel”—a rationale widely dismissed as implausible.

Discrepancies also appeared in the immediate medical response. Owens questions why the event’s security director, Brian Harpole, stated there was no CPR administered because of the need to stop bleeding—an explanation that contradicts basic life-saving protocols.

The "30-06 Super Neck" Story and Physical Anomalies

Further anomalies emerged from surveillance review. Owens observed, in slow-motion footage, that Kirk’s necklace visibly snapped before the bullet (or other force) hit his body and his shirt moved outward—suggesting not a ballistic entry but force emanating from Kirk’s person or apparel. The necklace whipping this way before an impact indicates a non-traditional trajectory, inconsistent with a shot from above. The movement of his shirt and the breaking of his road microphone immediately before the wound appeared point, in her analysis, to a localized blast effect, not a standard gunshot.

Explosive Device Theory and Evidence of Cover-Up

PETN Shaped Charge on Kirk's Microphone Explains Unburned Body, Broken Necklace, Minimal Blood

Owens advances a theory that explosives, specifically a PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) shaped charge, were used in the killing. PETN is a stable, powerful explosive with forensic persistence in soil. She posits that the murder weapon was a shaped charge embedded in Kirk’s lavalier microphone—worn inside his shirt and secured with an exterior magnet, a setup she and industry professionals identify as highly irregular unless mitigating wind or weather, which was not the case. This could explain why Kirk’s body was not visibly burned or heavily bloodied, as an external bullet wound would cause, and why the necklace broke and shirt moved outward—effects of a directed, local blast.

Black Glass-Like Shards Found In Car Suggest Explosive Destruction of Rode Microphone Inside Shirt, an Unusual Audio Setup

In the aftermath, photographs of the car that transported Kirk revealed copious black, glass-like shards resembling shattered ABS plastic—matching the composition and shattering pattern of a destroyed Rode microphone. The presence of these fragments, seen both on and behind Kirk’s seat, strongly supports the theory that the microphone itself detonated. The car used for Kirk’s transport was also quickly cleaned, repurposed, and nearly sold—contrary to standard procedure, which would have it impounded as evidence.

Rushed Soil Removal and Paver Installation Represent Deviation From Standard Procedure, Likely to Remove Explosive Residue Evidence Before Testing

Authorities rapidly removed 10 inches of soil from the scene—beyond the standard 8-inch clearance for paver installation—and had two separate work teams perform the operations on Saturday and Sunday following the Wednesday incident. Early-morning paver work commenced immediately after, at the directive of the Utah governor’s office and Kash Patel, according to contractors. Such expedited and segmented alteration of the crime scene, particularly before forensic analysis, is unprecedented and likely served to eliminate explosive residue, specifically PETN traces, from possible detection.

Security Failures and Suspicious Personnel Involvement

Brian Harpole, the Security Director For Kirk's Protection, Was Inconsistent and Evasive About the Events, Sued Candace For Questioning His Competence, and Was Apparently Removed From Turning Point Usa After His Public Statements Caused More Questions

Brian Harpole, responsible for Kirk’s security, responded inconsistently both in interviews and legal filings. After public criticism and questions regarding rooftop security and emergency response (including lack of CPR), Harpole filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens, blaming her for his business losses and arguing he was forced into the public eye by her actions, despite her never mentioning him before his own media tour. Harpole’s explanations in interviews have further fueled suspicion and led to his removal from Turning Point USA. Owens notes the lawsuit may inadvertently enable greater scrutiny and require direct testimony regarding these unresolved issues.

Coordinated Maroon Shirts Worn At Event For Team Identification

Numerous men at the event, seemingly unconnected and attending alone, wore maroon shirts—a color choice Owens, after consulting veterans, identifies as a likely team identifier, consistent with covert operational practice. Surveillance footage even captured one man handing another a maroon shirt moments after the shooting, reinforcing the suspicion of directed coordination.

Tyler Robinson, Labeled Shooter, Seems a Patsy; Evidence Points To His Use In Retrieving Materials While Assassination Was Executed Differently

The accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, is increasingly viewed as a patsy. Owens asserts she does not believe Robinson was present at the scene of the shooting itself. Instead, Robinson’s role appears limited to retrieving and disposing of clothes—incriminating actions, but not those of the triggerman. The real shooter is not identifiable in available footage nor corroborated by key eyewitnesses. Moreover, Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, whom Owens believes is a federal asset with a suspicious background, was never seriously investigated despite apparent connections to the case and to Robinson's access to weapons.

Alleged Involvement of Israeli Interests and Government Coordination

Charlie Kirk Declined Netanyahu's Offer to Elevate Turning Point Usa In Exchange for Political Commitments Weeks Before His Assassination

Owens and sources close to Kirk recount a significant meeting at Bill Ackman’s home in early August, just weeks before the assassination. Kirk was pressured by pro-Israel figures, including Bibi Netanyahu, to accept increased supp ...

Candace Owens and Shawn Ryan describe an extensive system of Israeli or Zionist influence and coercion over American political, media, and cultural institutions, centering on financial leverage, media intimidation, coordinated attacks on dissenters, and a broader ideology justified theologically and historically.

American Institutions: Control via Financial Leverage and Intimidation

Major Political Figures, Including Trump, Accepted Millions From Israeli Interests Like Miriam Adelson, Creating Obligations That Override National Interests and Influence American Policy

Candace Owens highlights how Donald Trump accepted $300 million from Miriam Adelson, an Israeli billionaire, which, according to her, created critical obligations overriding American interests. She alleges these financial connections have specific strings, such as demands for policy actions like the annexation of the West Bank. Owens recounts that Adelson’s support was not a gift but an arrangement: "I'll cut you this check. But I, when we want to annex the West Bank." Owens further notes that figures around Trump are ultimately beholden to larger interests, naming “the Rothschilds and ... Israel” as higher bosses. She connects this dynamic with the influence of organizations like AIPAC, implying that American policy, particularly under Trump, serves these donors and their stated objectives. Owens contends that Trump and those in his administration are compromised, driven by donors more loyal to Israel than the U.S.

Zionist Establishment: Mafia-Like Tactics to Silence Israel Critics

Owens repeatedly uses mafia metaphors to describe the methods by which Zionist and pro-Israeli networks operate, both in politics and media. She calls the Zionist establishment and its Christian Zionist allies “toxic gang-like people” and describes their behavior as mafia-like: “That is, you are with us or you are against us.” She references personal experiences and the testimonies of others—such as Michael Jackson and Kanye West—who have claimed to face similar organized pressures when criticizing Israeli influence.

Political Figures Criticizing Israeli Policy Face Coordinated Attacks, Media Campaigns, Donor Pressure, and Threats

Owens details various mafia-style retributions for those who criticize Israel, from targeted media campaigns to loss of donor support, coordinated social media attacks, and efforts designed to destroy reputations. She states, “What they did, the pressure they put Charlie under, what they did to me, what they’re currently doing to Megyn Kelly... That’s a mafia. That is, you are with us or you are against us. And I faced that obviously in my own life and saw that. And I called it out for what it is.” She further describes these as part of a long-standing and escalating culture of intimidation and suppression surrounding Israel and its critics in American public life.

Institutional Infiltration and Narrative Control Mechanisms

Conservative Media Like the Daily Wire and Prageru Enforce Zionist Ideological Conformity on Israel

Owens claims that conservative institutions such as The Daily Wire and PragerU enforce unwavering support for Israel, requiring employees and media figures to align with Zionist talking points. She describes internal pressure campaigns, recounting how she was compelled to “pledge allegiance to Israel publicly,” and how the organizational leadership—such as Jeremy at The Daily Wire—used dramatic, performative conflict to enforce ideological conformity.

Journalists Coerced Into Supporting Israel or Attacking Critics Through Career Threats, With Campaigns Targeting Megyn Kelly For Reporting On Palestinian Suffering

She identifies how journalists like Megyn Kelly have been pressured to issue statements or denounce individuals at the behest of Zionist power structures, regardless of personal or professional associations. According to Owens, Kelly became a target because she “told the truth about what Charlie was going through,” resisting the pressure to betray her integrity and criticize others for not conforming.

Organizations Use Propaganda and Ai to Simulate Support for Israeli Policies

Owens refers to the use of artificial intelligence, “Israeli bots,” and coordinated online harassment—fueled by entities such as Clockwork LLC and supported by figures like Seth Dillon—to simulate massive grassroots support for Israeli policies and intimidate dissenters. She says these bot-driven campaigns create “an illusion of pressure... It’s not real, obviously.” Owens references documentation (the “Farah docs”) revealing the operational honesty among those running these bot campaigns.

Theological and Historical Foundations of Zionist Supremacy Ideology

Zionist Ideology Stems From Frankism and Sabbatean Traditions, Using the Star of David for Demonic Summoning, With "Goyim" Indicating Contempt For Non-jews as Cattle or Slaves

Owens introduces historical and esoteric claims, asserting that modern Zionist ideologies originate in Frankism and Sabbateanism, faith systems she alleges are distinct from mainstream Judaism. She argues that the Star of David is not the biblical symbol it claims to be, instead tying it to occult practices and “Baal worship,” as discussed in works by Aleister Crowley. She repeats the claim that non-Jews—or “goyim”—are viewed as cattle or slaves to be used or obliterated if they resist serving Zionist aims.

Israel's Founding Through False Flags: Israeli Leaders Facilitated October 7 Attack to Justify Palestinian Genocide

Owens argues that Israel’s foundational and ongoing strategy involves false flag attacks, including the October 7th attack, which she alleges Israeli leaders knowingly allowed or planned to justify subsequent acts of mass violence against Palestinians. She places these events in a context of a long history of manufactured crises to enable land grabs and genocide, referencing the USS Liberty incident as part of this lineage.

Candace Owens and Shawn Ryan discuss the historical and contemporary influence of occultism and Satanism in Western power structures, drawing links between secret societies, elite practices, and ongoing spiritual warfare.

Historical Foundations of Occult Influence in Western Civilization

Owens outlines that modern Freemasonry’s roots trace back to Solomon’s Temple, with direct connections in biblical history, but emphasizes that the significant integration into Western society began with Francis Bacon in Paris. Paris emerges as a recurring locus for occult initiation, including figures like Sigmund Freud, who, she asserts, studied under Jean-Martin Charcot and was also initiated into occult practices there. Owens points out the significance of Paris's dialing code—33—as symbolically connected to Freemasonry's lore and the French Revolution.

She references Adam Weishaupt’s orchestrated infiltration of Freemasonic groups, uniting them under the Illuminati with a vision of a “New Atlantis.” According to Owens, a consistent anti-Catholic and anti-Christian sentiment underlay these movements, as the Catholic Church identified and condemned these groups as Satanists. Isabella of Spain is mentioned as a historical defender against such occult infiltration.

Owens argues that America’s founding was deeply influenced by Freemasonry, with the Founding Fathers themselves being Freemasons who encoded occult symbolism, such as that found on the U.S. dollar bill, into the nation’s structures. The Illuminati’s integration with the nascent American republic was, she claims, post-Revolution but always intentional, driven by an anti-Catholic and anti-Orthodox agenda. She connects the Scottish Rite’s arrival in America to the fallout from conflicts with the Catholic Church in France and Scotland.

She further asserts that Freud, though Jewish, harbored a deep hatred for the Catholic Church and developed modern psychology to undermine its spiritual authority by replacing priests with therapists. Owens claims Freud’s work was fundamentally Satanic, asserting he was involved in Jewish mysticism, Frankism, and the occult. She cites research that Freud both witnessed and concealed evidence of ritual child abuse and murder during his time in Vienna, suggesting Freud's psychological theories were constructed to gaslight genuine victims and protect a pedophile network. Further, she links this psychological legacy through Edward Bernays, Freud’s nephew, to the development of propaganda and modern public relations, suggesting ongoing manipulation of the public.

Satanic Ritual and Child Exploitation Among Elites

Owens and Ryan claim that among modern elites, particularly those affiliated with the Epstein network, there is ongoing child trafficking, ritual abuse, and even sacrifice. They assert that many powerful figures across politics, finance, and media not only protect but participate in these abuses. Owens describes direct accounts, such as Peter Thiel’s allegedly strange and detached conduct with his child and guests on his private island, as indicative of a broader culture of dark ritual and child exploitation among the elite.

She describes elite engagement in “sex magic” and ritual practices outlined by Aleister Crowley, claiming that spiritual corruption and demon summoning through child abuse is common at the highest levels. Owens draws a line from Crowley’s teachings to influential scientific institutions, alleging that organizations like the Jet Propulsion Lab were founded by Crowley’s disciples. Owens and Ryan contend that elites’ interest in such practices is not hidden; they write openly in historical documents about ritualistic sex parties and demon summoning, always with a component of child harm.

Political leaders, Owens continues, display what she calls “demonic traits,” deriving visible pleasure from civilian deaths, demonstrating an appetite for violence, and lacking fundamental compassion. She references viral clips of public figures like Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin, stating their reactions to tragedy reveal their connection to dark, possibly Satanic, forces.

Institutional Protection and Normalization of Pedophilia

Owens and Ryan argue American institutions often protect pedophiles and occult practitioners. They highlight cases where individuals caught abusing children in the United States are merely deported to Israel, where they allegedly continue their crimes, suggesting that the protection of children is not a genuine priority. Shawn Ryan references a cyber expert sent back to Israel after being caught luring children, yet continuing to work at high levels in Israeli cybersecurity, illustrating institutional complicity.

Owens claims that groups such as Chabad Lubavitch and other Zionist organizations have strategically placed operatives within the U.S. governme ...

Candace Owens and Shawn Ryan scrutinize government, electoral systems, and the media as interconnected mechanisms designed to uphold elite power. Their discussion frames democracy as illusion, media as propaganda, and institutional legal-financial tactics as tools of control, while also acknowledging a recent public awakening and waves of popular resistance.

Electoral Systems as Theatrical Illusion of Democracy

Owens and Ryan express deep skepticism about the legitimacy of U.S. elections, characterizing them as staged to create the illusion of popular participation. Owens argues the true purpose of elections is psychological—to convince the populace that their votes and voices matter, channeling discontent into compliance and preventing the possibility of true revolutionary change. She warns that, if authorities admitted the meaninglessness of votes and the orchestrated nature of elections, public outrage or revolt could arise.

U.S. Elections Are Controlled, Offering Only Pre-approved Candidates; Populists Are Dismantled Through Media and Legal Attacks

Owens references political races like those of Spencer Pratt and Thomas Massie as evidence that the outcomes are manipulated, with only pre-approved candidates allowed to advance or win. Challengers, especially those with populist or anti-establishment messages, are subject to relentless media and legal attacks to neutralize their impact.

Democratic Pretense Channels Discontent Into Voting, Preventing Revolutionary Change

Owens reinforces that the elite's biggest threat is a genuine, uncontrolled revolution—that if the people united against the system, the balance of power would be at risk. Governments instead keep the public divided and distracted by provoking arguments over issues she describes as trivial, such as trans bathroom rights or racial strife, preventing collective action against more deeply rooted corruption.

Candidates Challenging Israeli Interests Face Media Narratives, Legal Harassment, and Organized Opposition as Consequences

She also highlights that candidates who voice dissent regarding Israel encounter coordinated media narratives, legal harassment, and broad organized opposition to undermine or discredit them.

Media as Propaganda Apparatus For Power Consolidation

Owens and Ryan describe mainstream journalism as a propaganda machine serving entrenched powers, crafting and disseminating narratives regardless of truth or facts to suit elite agendas.

Mainstream Journalism Acts As Propaganda, Advancing Narratives to Benefit Power Structures Regardless of Accuracy

They assert that the media will readily fabricate or distort stories to protect or promote those in power, diverting scrutiny and manipulating public perception whenever necessary.

Alternative Media Platforms Are Primary Censorship Targets as They Remain a Last Vestige of Uncontrolled Information

Alternative media, holding independence from the corporate narrative, thus becomes the main target for censorship since it threatens the information monopoly and is capable of challenging official narratives.

Strategic Release of Peter Thiel "Dialogue" Society Membership List Distracts From Major Government Crimes, Fragmenting Public Attention Across Scandals

Ryan references the sudden and highly publicized release of the Peter Thiel "Dialogue" Society membership list as an example of how scandals are strategically deployed to fragment public attention—arriving during heightened interest in the Epstein case and major financial news, keeping the populace busy with spectacles instead of systemic crimes.

Institutional Control Through Legal and Financial Coercion

The conversation highlights how the legal and financial systems serve to protect the powerful through intimidation and suppression.

Arbitration Courts Allow the Wealthy to Wage Psychological Warfare Via Frivolous Lawsuits, Exhausting Financial Resources and Mental Health

The wealthy or connected utilize arbitration courts and lawsuits as blunt instruments of psychological warfare, abusing legal processes to exhaust targets’ financial resources and mental fortitude.
