Is there a #CharlieKirk #conspiracy ? Why did donors pull funding from Charlie_Kirk's T.P.U.S.A. organization ? Who is Bill? Who is Shillman ? Donors pulled funding from Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA (TPUSA) primarily due to evolving political stances and internal disagreements about the organization's trajectory, with one high-profile withdrawal linked specifically to founder Charlie Kirk's increasingly critical rhetoric about Israel in the weeks before his assassination[1][2][3][4]. The most notable example is billionaire Robert Shillman, a prominent supporter of pro-Israel and anti-Islam causes, who terminated his financial support for TPUSA just days before Kirk's death, reportedly shifting his donations toward organizations and causes he saw as more consistently aligned with his staunchly pro-Likud worldview[1][2]. This move followed concerns among some donors that Kirk and TPUSA had deviated from what they considered reliable support for Israel's far-right government[1][2]. ### Who is Bill? “Bill” refers to Bill Montgomery, who was a marketing entrepreneur and the co-founder and early mentor of Turning Point USA[5][6][7][8]. Montgomery played a central role in establishing TPUSA alongside Charlie Kirk and provided crucial early guidance, contacts, and strategic vision to help build the organization's funding network and public profile[5]. Another relevant "Bill" in the context of TPUSA donors is Bill Dunn, who, together with his wife Rebecca, was among the very first donors to contribute financially and helped launch the organization when Charlie Kirk was just 19 years old[9][10][11]. Bill Dunn is a Florida-based philanthropist whose early support enabled TPUSA to hire staff and lease office space[10][11]. ### Who is Shillman? Robert Shillman is an ultra-wealthy technology entrepreneur and philanthropist known for his extensive donations to right-wing, pro-Israel, and anti-Islam causes in the United States[1][2][3][4]. A fixture within conservative donor circles, Shillman previously sponsored the David Horowitz Freedom Center and a host of aggressive anti-Islamic activists before becoming one of TPUSA's top individual financial supporters[1][2]. Shillman’s withdrawal of funding in September 2025, attributed to dissatisfaction with Kirk's perceived lack of unwavering support for Israel, sent shockwaves through the conservative fundraising ecosystem and was widely reported by both mainstream and independent publications[1][2][3][4]. In summary: - Donors pulled funding from TPUSA due to ideological disagreements, notably regarding Israel and foreign policy. - Bill Montgomery and Bill Dunn were pioneering figures and donors instrumental in launching TPUSA. - Robert Shillman, a major donor, withdrew support from TPUSA over dissatisfaction with the organization's shifting stance on Israel[1][2][10][9][11][5][6].

The retro gaming era shoved me into a toxic binary mentality where alternative platforms of gaming were wicked & sinful . Imagine my surprise when it turns out that ZZT had superior chip-tune music processing built into the software compared to Megazeux. 🌚/🌝 They are both good in their own way . image
