Archive forensics: the device theory was public on September 20 — not October 3–8

what the source states

Bray's post, archived September 25, 2025, embedded creation timestamp 2025-09-20T14:45:57Z: "My vector flow analysis is complete and I am afraid that's it's conclusive. Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a hidden shape charge. The battery of his RØDE Wireless mic exploded via detonation". The date is triply confirmed: snowflake-ID decoding, the archive's embedded JSON, and an independent aggregator page.

what we infer

Cuts both ways, and the record should say so: the compilation's dramatic "public discussion October 3–8, factory explodes October 10" timing is wrong — the theory had been public for nearly three weeks — which deflates the reactive-destruction narrative while confirming the weaker fact that the theory pre-dated the explosion.

limitations

• Whether Bray also discussed the theory October 3–8 specifically is unconfirmed at the post level.
