Is this about the claim the lapel mic exploded rather than him being shot? Anyone seen that claim - that Israel used that same technique again?

Maybe he had a pager on a necklace.
If Israel can take out Epstein in an American prison or have those in charge say he's dead, kill American journalist without consequence, and drag us into wars of aggression; they can take our Charlie Kirk with an exploding mic. This is the same country that gifted Trump a golden pager so he remembers who's in charge.
I appreciate that the entire story is summarized right in the link. I’ll get around to reading it after I catch up on Ancient Aliens.
The original article link has a similar title:

IB Times UK is probably more credible than ancient aliens though.
Oh, that wasn’t a criticism of you. I just thought it was funny. Plus, the whole “exploding pen mic” sounds like a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Yeah, not sure why the article calls it that, as it's a lapel mic. "Exploding pen mic" does make it sound nuttier.
