The Assassination of Charlie Kirk signals the escalation of the Political War

11 September 2025

The Pactum Institute condemns the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was gunned down in broad daylight on a Utah university campus earlier this week. The fact that thousands of people openly celebrated the death of a young father and husband on social media reveals the depths of political hatred now consuming the West. This was not merely an act of violence against one man, but a strike in an ongoing political and culture and religious war for the very survival of our nations.

What happened in Utah carries implications far beyond merely the conservative movement in the United States with which Charlie Kirk was associated. The same radical leftist forces that celebrated Kirk’s murder are active across the Western world, trying to destroy and erode the very fabric of our civilization. Their hostility is not directed only at individuals like him but at the very foundations of Western civilization, Christianity, and the peoples and communities that still uphold the faith and its values.

The reality that we are no longer engaged in polite debates with political opponents must be acknowledged. We face an enemy who does not hesitate to use violence to achieve its ends, especially if it senses that you are becoming a threat to the established order. The murder of Charlie Kirk serves as a chilling warning that our enemies are prepared to kill for their political agenda. The globalists are at war with us and assassination is their modus operandi. There can be no peace with evil. The time for illusions has passed—the struggle for truth and freedom must now be carried forward with unwavering resolve.
