Ryan Dawson on Candace Owens' France kill order

I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't know who whacked Charlie Kirk and i don't know whether Candace Owens is right or wrong about much of what she claims. What i do know, as i wrote previously, is that Kirk was not shot in the neck from a 10 deg. down angle with a reasonably fresh, off-the-shelf .30-06 round as Ryan Dawson claims. That's cartoon-level stupidity. Ryan claims that Kirk had bent forward to put his mic down when he was shot, thus there was no exit wound because the bullet traveled down into his body rather than through his neck and that is patently false. Kirk's body was completely upright when he was shot and this is transparently obvious in the videos. He also never put the mic down, he just dropped his hand into his lap. Obviously Dawson saw the videos, so why he claims something so entirely different than what he actually saw with his own eyes is beyond me. Frankly, this sounds like confirmation bias, as though he's made up his mind that the official narrative is factual and thus he refuses to entertain any opposing theories. And while i'd love to see Israel implicated in Kirk's murder, who knows, other than the problem with the lack of an exit wound from a .30-06 round, maybe the official story is correct, or at least largely so.

A few days ago Candace posted on X that the French put a hit out on her, presumably as a result of insisting that Bridget Macron is a tranny. Again, i don't know, nor do really care if she's right. It's not a subject that interests me enough to devote my time to. Ryan Dawson thinks she's full of shit and he makes some good points, though he uses some of Candace's past beliefs and comments as evidence, and maybe that's fair. Ryan isn't always correct either though. In his article he makes at least one provably false statement and he has a habit of doing this on occasion, though such remarks are always tangential to the primary subject from what i've seen. In his article he states as fact that Candace is "the only voice allowed on YouTube to criticize Israel" and that is ridiculously false. Granted, criticizing Israel on a Zionist owned platform is risky business and maybe there's not many doing that, but it does happen and it happens for extended periods by the same people. For example, Andrew Napolitano and Nima Alkhorsid have both been covering the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran wars for ~3 years and both, along with all of their guests, are highly critical of Israel's behavior and its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, yet both of their channels remain on YouTube.

I'm not suggesting that one avoid Ryan Dawson. There is no doubt that he is a highly intelligent and capable researcher, but once in a while he says things that are just silly and wrong. Anyway, read his article in which he eviscerates Candace Owens' claim of being targeted for assassination by the French government.

Candace thinks France tried to kill her

When shes said Brigitte was a man I ignored her
When she said the Earth was flat I ignored her
When she said we didn't go to the moon I ignored her
When she falsely accused Israel of killing Kirk (and 6 other alt theories) it mattered because people will use this to dismiss other conspiracies about Israel that are actually true.
