@richtidwell is one of the highest-engagement amplifiers of the exploding-microphone / AES supply-chain theory. A widely shared March 20, 2026 post compressed the whole stack into one sequence, and the site's mic pages track it as attributed citizen commentary — not as a finding that any device was used at UVU.
Claims from X posts
- The fatal mechanism was "the mic under Charlie Kirk's shirt" — the under-shirt RØDE transmitter, not a rooftop rifle. See RØDE mic.
- Accurate Energetic Systems (AES) is named in the theory as the device manufacturer, linked to a DoD procurement of roughly $425k in May 2025 for miniaturized charges — figures as posted; primary award records are on USASpending.gov. See DoD Contract.
- The October 2025 AES plant explosion in McEwen, Tennessee (posts claim roughly 16 lives lost, ~3 weeks to a month after the assassination) is framed as suspicious timing — a motive question, per the posts, not a completed proof. See AES factory explosion.
- The post ties the chain to a motive question about Kirk's public posture on Israel and Iran war policy — attributed framing only.
- The full claimed sequence: contract → mic under shirt → assassination → plant disaster. Skeptics reply that explosives factories explode without conspiracy; the site records both sides on the AES Tennessee Explosion page.
Investigative value
The account functions as a compression node: it took the longer @jonaaronbray / Stew Peters analyses and turned them into a single viral timeline that the site's Mic section now maps claim-by-claim. Everything here is attributed X commentary; the site makes no claim that AES or any living person committed a crime.

Interesting In This Area
- Stew Peters is credited with tying the mic theory to that contract.
- Chest-wound witness clips are the second pillar of this argument.
- The C2 entry argument says roof geometry cannot produce that wound.
- Capability analogies point at the 2024 pager operation.
Interesting In Other Areas
- A defense contract for miniaturized charges carries an August 25 delivery date.
- The plant explosion came a month after the killing.
- Both readings of that explosion are recorded on one page.
- A Navy contract is the thread's only hard document.

The "two patsies" reading in its sharpest form, mapped rather than endorsed. One man's obstruction is court record; whether it was coordinated with anything is not, and nobody here is found to have taken part in a crime.

The watermark on the Google Trends evidence graphics: an autopsy-law drafter, a judicial shortlist five months early, and a name peaking in Tel Aviv while Utah returned no data at all. Every one is a correlation claim, and Trends cannot say who searched.

Shaffer Security Group (@ShafferGroup) — X Posts
A first-party corporate account rather than a citizen investigator: two posts, deleted within hours, naming a different firm as TPUSA's contracted security on September 10. The corporate registration behind them is public record and checkable.

The most-shared geometric argument against the rooftop account — an entry at C2 the poster calls mathematically impossible from that roof at that range. It can only be tested against autopsy measurements that remain sealed.

The DoD Contract — Miniaturized-XS Anti-Personnel Charges
A paralegal who says she handles defense procurements walked through a USASpending contract for miniaturized anti-personnel charges. Its delivery deadline is August 25, 2025 — the same day the AmFest flyer dropped.

A month after Charlie Kirk died, the Tennessee plant that makes shaped charges and demolition blocks was destroyed, reportedly killing sixteen workers. Industrial explosions have ordinary causes; investigators still want the timeline explained.

A Navy contract for miniaturized demolition charges, delivered sixteen days before the assassination, is the only hard document in this thread. It is also still public and still searchable — which cuts against the suppression story it is cited to support.
