The Rapture is happening, FYI. Or it’s just happened.
Did you get Raptured? Were you one of the chosen few? I’m guessing not, if you’re reading this.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that no one’s been ‘taken up’ into Heaven in recent days – despite the insistence of numerous ‘Christian’ TikTokers and YouTubers that Wednesday 25th was the Rapture date.
But how interesting that this viral mania came at the same time as what appears to be a great Christian-centered psy-opera taking place. It is claimed that TikTok had some 300,000 Rapture videos posted.
‘Rapture-Tok‘ is what some have been calling it. We’ll talk abut the ‘Anti Christ lectures‘ as well, and the tasteless, eerie AI elements that have been proliferating too.
But the ritual murder of Charlie Kirk during the Blood Moon seems to have been the catalyst for a strange wave of Christian mania – a specifically Christian psy-op.
I called it a ‘controlled mass psychosis’ last week. And it’s been increasingly strange. The ‘Rapture’ expectations aren’t even the strangest part, as we’ll see.

But these Rapture videos have been everywhere. It was reported that some ‘believers’ even gave away their belongings and quit their jobs. It’s hard to feel sorry for any of this lot if all it takes as some viral Internet content.
The massive Charlie Kirk funeral service a few days ago – livestreamed on multiple online channels and on mainstream American television – seemed to also capture or capitalise on this strange mood that’s abruptly taken hold.
Erika Kirk specifically called it a Christian ‘revival’.
She also employed a curious hand signal while being used as a prop by President Trump, but we’ll let that slide.
Yet the funeral event itself was completely co-opted by right wing political figures displaying very little Christian concern: President Trump, J.D Vance, psychopath Stephen Miller, and others, used the occasion to push purely political rhetoric. It was less like a funeral service and more like a MAGA rally, albeit with more overtly Christian rhetoric.
Here’s the NBC livestream of the event. But dozens of channels livestreamed the entire thing.
The Charlie Kirk mania has been relentless.
Have you seen all the weird AI videos of new, modern day Christian ‘martyr’? To say that they’re overdoing it with the Biblical imagery would be an understatement. And to say some of it is embarrassing would also be an understatement: I can’t even tell if some of these are meant to be parody.
But no, they seem to be in earnest.
Here‘s a video literally comparing the activist to Jesus.
There have also been AI recreations of Kirk being played in actual churches: literally recreations of Saint Charlie appearing to say things that the real person never actually said.
It just keeps getting weirder. The man’s barely been dead a fortnight. And most people hadn’t even heard of him until he was shot.
But, at this point, the millionaire influencer and activist being formally canonised wouldn’t be out of place.
What about the bizarre ‘Man of Steel’ theory? That the apparent lack of exit wound or bullet from Charlie Kirk’s body apparently indicates a divine miracle? You know, that Kirk himself miraculously retained the bullet in his body so that no one else could get hurt?
It’s not just that people actually believe this: the surgeon who supposedly examined Charlie Kirk’s body seems to have pushed this idea openly, at least according to Kirk’s organisation. ‘It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed. His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too… In the end, the coroner did find the bullet just beneath the skin. Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him. Remarkable. Miraculous.‘
What kind of autopsy was this? Who was this coroner? And since when do medical professionals start putting out ‘miracle’ propaganda?
Also, if God was wanting to show a miracle, how about having the bullet miss Kirk entirely or have the shot be non-fatal? You know, like He apparently did with Trump last July? So that Messiah Trump could do his whole ‘God saved me so that I could save America’ thing?
I suppose they’d tell me that the Lord wanted Kirk martyred so that this great ‘revival’ could take place.
This ‘Christian Revival’ was also oddly in evidence in the massive ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march in London: the strange event led by psych-warfare merchant ‘Tommy Robinson‘, which – as previously noted – was uncharacteristically replete with Christian imagery and religious references.
A strangely co-opted and weaponised form of Christianity was evoked – by a movement that has previously shown no interest in Jesus or the church. No one seemed to find any dissonance in crosses being waved about while the richest tech-industrialist in the world told the gathered sheep to ‘fight or die‘.
Elon’s friend and former collaborator, fellow tech villain Peter Thiel, was more or less concurrently beginning a series of lectures on the Anti Christ.
Yes, literally on the Anti Christ! That’s Peter Thiel – billionaire tech mogul and pioneer of the rapidly expanding CIA-developed Palantir control programme that the Trump admin has embraced and that Israelis have been fine tuning in Gaza.
Thiel is now literally saying that regulating AI will summon the Anti Christ!
Why is a transhumanist tech guy so interested in the Anti Christ? And why is he posing as a Christian?
Why is another billionaire transhumanist tech guy so interested in puppeteering the far right for mass social unrest? Wasn’t helping rig the US election enough for Elon Musk? He was at that Charlie Kirk funeral event, by the way, fresh from his ‘fight or die’ cameo at Tommy Robinson’s London event.
What are these Lex Luthor types up to? Sam Altman, the heavily Israeli linked founder of OpenAI and ChatGPT, has even been implicated in the recent murder of an OpenAI whistleblower (which Tucker Carlson brought a lot of attention to this week in an interview).
But getting back to the main theme, it is perhaps unsurprising then that the hysteria escalated so abruptly that scores of people actually seemed to think the Rapture was imminent – so much so that they were willing to name the specific date.
Apparently some South African pastor was the main source; and said in a TV interview that he had seen Jesus in a vision and Jesus was returning to Earth on Rosh Hashanah, the New Year in Judaism.
Are they all going to apologise to their followers on Thursday? Are they going to go bury their heads in the sand for looking so stupid?
Seriously, the Internet has become an idiot. But it’s hard to tell how much of it is genuine religious mania and how much is just the obsession with going viral and joining in with social media trending.
What’s striking about so many of these content peddlers is how young they are: I wouldn’t have expected such end-times enthusiasm from the younger crowd, but more from the evangelical/Zionist crowd (of which Saint Charlie was a big part: he even insisted on the Occupied West Bank being referred to as ‘Judea and Samaria’ – and thus would’ve been perfectly happy with Mike Johnson’s illegal stunt in the Holy Land last month, which I covered here).
Interestingly this ‘Rapture-Tok’ thing coincides with Israeli millionaires seizing control of TikTok, with a particular focus on controlling the algorithms. Larry Ellison, founder of the CIA’s Oracle database programme (and the largest single donor to the IDF), is apparently in charge.
While curtailing the flood of pro Palestinian content on the platform is probably the primary goal, a manipulation of Christian thinking is always a useful tool, particularly as they push towards their imminent endgame in the Holy Land.
The ‘Rapture’ as a concept itself has always been fertile ground for manipulations, and thus a very useful tool. Many thinking Christians would say that the concept itself is a false doctrine and a heresy: which might actually explain why it’s so conveniently ripe for manipulation purposes.
But arguing religious doctrine is not within my zone of comfort here: so I’ll leave those arguments for others to have.
I think you have missed the core story here.

I find it disappointing the way you tend to focus on what deeply ignorant and stupid people say and do (apparently because they belong to a different political tribe). I had not heard a word of this rapture crap. (Rosh Hashanah makes it even funnier I suppose,) but the story was hardly ubiquitous, was actually pretty much irrelevant and you chose to focus on it whilst missing the fact that despite some initially shocking visuals of gushing blood , the killing was staged. Still I am pleased that you are still writing.
The nauseating event in the stadium was not a funeral, and was never billed as such. It was a memorial service. There has been no word about a funeral, or a burial nor an autopsy or coroners report. The magical man of steel comment was attributed to one of the doctors said to have treated Kirk.
Thanks for commenting.
It isn’t about tribe – these guys are what they are; I can’t pretend they’re not. Just like I can’t pretend something like the Kirk memorial isn’t a right-wing event.
You can see it as bias: but the people in power in the US right now are on the hard right: and so that’s where the focus is.
Also, I don’t think you can say the Rapture thing wasn’t ubiquitous when every major news site covered it and it was all over social media, TikTok and YouTube. And the point was to illustrate the religious hysteria that seems to have followed the Charlie Kirk thing.
As for the more serious questions about the Charlie Kirk shooting, I had already written about that in two previous posts – which is why I didn’t cover it again here, as this was a different subject.
I already suggested previously that the whole thing was staged and ritualistic: albeit with an actual murder/sacrifice taking place.
But I’m open to your view that it was all fake. I’m just not sure we can be definitive about that yet.
But I accept the correction that it wasn’t a funeral service, but a memorial. I got my wording wrong.
And it’s good to hear from you.
