SPECIAL: Proving Candace Wrong: Matt Kester EP:01

from Copperhead Road · host Copperhead Road

Was Charlie Kirk assassinated by a close-range handgun or an exploding mic? Using forensic gunshot audio waveforms, real-world control shots, and Google Earth triangulation, I show why the data supports a supersonic rifle fired from ~150 meters on a rooftop—aligning with the official narrative. I also share my spreadsheet model so you can verify every step yourself.If you'd like to financially support my independent research and analysis, I'd be grateful if you donated here - paypal.me/mtkesterVERIFY IT YOURSELF !
