Welcome

Hello, all good people...

    ___________________________________________

Salutations, I am Craig Willms creator of the Protohuman blog. The blog itself, as a weblog is now defunct. I have not posted since 2014, and I don't intend to resurrect it now. 

However, I own this space so to speak, and I have things I'd like to post in the form of essays, articles and personal notes simply as a record that I had these thoughts and sought to write them down before I lose myself. I'm under no illusion that anyone will read them - or care one wit. 

Still, there is a chance that someone will look me up after my death and find my online life. We live in the first era where we can preserve our thoughts indefinitely due to the way back machine, aka the Internet. Prior to the Internet you'd have to be published to have your writings preserved outside of your personal notebooks. Therefore, the essays and personal anecdotes that follow are something I want associated with me. 

The articles/essays are in no particular order, relevant perhaps, but may have been superseded by events that followed. I maintain the right to be wrong about any of it...

que sera sera!


        Hold on!! Wait!    

Take a minute to look at my art and listen to my music.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk




 





by Craig Willms


Charlie Kirk was not a household name, that is until he was killed by an assassin's bullet. I knew of him, being a conservative myself. I was not a follower so to speak, but I watched some of his videos and I was always impressed. I had never heard a negative word from him; he was kind and generous with his grace. He was, it seems, just what he appeared to be - an articulate, polite, pious and intelligent spokesmen for the political right. He did not deserve this; his young family did not deserve this.

I suspect, and I'm not the only one that he was a victim of a professional hit. It's early in the investigation, so there's no particular evidence. The grooming of a mentally unstable person by certain entities is not out of the realm of possibilities, if you know what I mean. It could be the work of a "lone gunman", but we've heard that before. It's likely we will never know the whole truth.

Charlie had a bright future in the conservative movement, and he was having an effect on the youth he sought to reach. Hardcore leftists hated him because of his success. This was the only way to silence him, and they took it. Political assassinations are nothing new, there were many in the breakout 1960's. Today with hyper communications and a 24/7 news cycle it takes on a life of its own. The gatekeepers can't really conceal or prevent discussion like they could before everyone had the ability to 'broadcast' an opinion or a story arc. 

My thoughts... Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he was extremely effective and getting results against the left and for conservative, religious values. I don't know what this means for our country, but it is not good. This is a terrible day. God Bless you Charlie, you are gone too soon.
