Generated Summary:

This video discusses Tucker Carlson’s theories regarding the ongoing cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein case by the DOJ.

Main Topic: Potential reasons behind the DOJ’s alleged cover-up of the Epstein case.

Key Points:

• Theory 1 (Dismissed): Trump’s involvement. Carlson dismisses this theory, stating he doesn’t believe Trump is the type to be involved in such activities and that the Biden administration would have leaked any incriminating evidence against Trump.
• Theory 2 (Favored): Intelligence services (US and Israeli) are at the center of the story and are being protected.
• Carlson cites historical examples of the CIA covering up pedophilia cases within its ranks to protect “sources and methods.”
• He suggests that intelligence agencies might be involved in the Epstein case and are being shielded from exposure.

Highlights:

• Carlson explicitly states he believes the most obvious explanation for the cover-up is the protection of US and Israeli intelligence services.
• He highlights the CIA’s past actions of covering up internal pedophilia cases to protect their operations.
• Carlson jokingly mentions avoiding computers to prevent potential issues related to child pornography.

I am not sure.

Candace was with the Daily Wire. Her criticism of Israel and their genocide of the Palestinian people caused the separation, her firing.

TIL Contrapoints

I agree!

The duopoly and most Western regime intelligence agencies are closely involved.

I wonder!

They may be labeled as contractors or similar to a merc.

Third-party contractors that don’t have to follow the same ‘rules’ as government or military personnel.

Edit:

1. Word, merchs to merc, meaning mercenary

The government (politicians) and institutions that profit and lobby (legal bribes) determine and spew out the talking points to label what is ‘true,’ ‘fake news,’ ‘misinformation,’ and much more when it goes against the status quo.

Look into the Iraq WMD talking points in the early 2000s and how MSM framed and spoke of what was happening.

Look at the military leaks; there are many. It shows a different picture than what we are told.

Glenn Greenwald worked with Edward Snowden on leaks and discussed what was found.

Again:

“We all have our preferred propaganda sources. Using our critical thinking skills will help us navigate through government and MSM propaganda. Listening and learning from dissenting sources or people that don’t think like we do will help us avoid self-censorship and self-built echo chambers, which I think is healthier for our society.”

Glad you approve! I’ll send then $200.

It is your money; you do you.

Well, I thought I explained it in simple terms.

I mentioned that I do not agree 100% with Tucker Carlson, but I did point out where I do agree, which is criticism of US foreign policy and the constant push for more forever wars where the wealthy continue to increase their quarterly profits and take all the important natural resources in exchange for the mass murder of the working class.

I see the US government, politicians, and media as pushing propaganda at all times so as to benefit the oligarchy. We are born into this system on purpose, so it is difficult for people to notice or care if they do not question or learn dissenting views.

I’ll make a note to do it later, I’ll see if I can indicate to them that it’s in your honor.

Great, you do you!

I hope all is well, and thanks for the small chat.

Peace!

I agree.

We need more people that are not afraid to call out politicians and to interview world leaders even if it goes against the status quo (a little bit, but it is a start).

Was Maddow ever proven to have lied on purpose about anything for damages worth almost a billion dollars?

I am not a shareholder, nor am I invested in the cost these corporations face, but it is a bit funny the back and forth with the US and lawsuits. I am more for fixing the systematic issues the working class faces by building up an independent (from the duopoly and oligarchy) working-class movement.

Correction on Rachel Maddow and Tucker Carlson defamation lawsuits:

In response, OAN sued Maddow, MSNBC, and its parent corporation Comcast, Inc. for defamation, alleging that it was demonstrably false that the network, in Maddow’s words, “literally is paid Russian propaganda." In an oddly overlooked ruling, an Obama-appointed federal judge, Cynthia Bashant, dismissed the lawsuit on the ground that even Maddow’s own audience understands that her show consists of exaggeration, hyperbole, and pure opinion, and therefore would not assume that such outlandish accusations are factually true even when she uses the language of certainty and truth when presenting them (“literally is paid Russian propaganda").

McDougal’s lawsuit was dismissed in September, 2020, by Trump-appointed judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, based on arguments made by Fox’s lawyers that were virtually identical to those made by MSNBC’s lawyers when defending Maddow. In particular, the court accepted Fox’s arguments that when Carlson used the word “extortion,” he meant it in a colloquial and dramatic sense, and that his viewers would have understood that he was not literally accusing her of a crime but rather offering his own subjective characterizations and opinions, particularly since viewers understand that Carlson offers political commentary:

When discussing Carlson’s show generally and how viewers understand it, the court used language extremely similar to that invoked to protect Maddow from defamation lawsuits: namely, that Fox viewers understand that Carlson is, in addition to presenting news, offering his own subjective analysis of it:

This is worth noting because of how often, and how dishonestly, this court case regarding Carlson is cited to claim that even Fox itself admits that its host is a liar who cannot be trusted. This court ruling has become a very common argument used by liberals to claim that even Fox acknowledges that Carlson lies. Indeed, Maddow’s own colleague Chris Hayes — whose MSNBC program is broadcast at the same time as Carlson’s and routinely attracts less than 1/3 of the Fox host’s audience — has repeatedly cited this court case to argue that even Fox admits Carlson is a liar, without bothering to note that his companies’ lawyers made exactly the same claims about his mentor, Rachel Maddow, to defend her from a defamation lawsuit:^[1]

Do you think it’s relevant to include in this whether we are learning and listening to people that are objectively lying to us? I feel like that’s an important thing to include, but maybe you do not.

We all have our preferred propaganda sources. Using our critical thinking skills will help us navigate through government and MSM propaganda. Listening and learning from dissenting sources or people that don’t think like we do will help us avoid self-censorship and self-built echo chambers, which I think is healthier for our society.

Okay so now it’s “our” government and politicians only… bravo, that’s probably a tactically smart revision to make lol.

I was talking about US foreign policy and the continued aggression and escalations, so that explains the wording of just including the US government and politicians.

You are correct, though. I mean, when I say we should always be highly critical of all governments and politicians, this includes the United States, Israel, Ukraine, the UK, NATO countries, and other Western regime allies.

To my knowledge, Maddow and Carlson were labeled as entertainment due to lawsuits.

All is well, though.

Back to the big picture.

I am more interested in their dissident views on being against the forever wars and US foreign policy.

We must continue to always be critical of our government, politicians, and the fourth branch’s propaganda.

We must continue to not be afraid to learn and listen to people that do not share our views or think like we want them to.

In this case I agree with their criticism of US foreign policy, where aggression and escalation are the only goals instead of dialogue and negotiation.

Great points; I do not agree 100% with him or his views.

He is religious, so that explains his views on Christians and the mass murder and genocide of people, a bit, similar to Candace Owens.

Again, I am more aligned with Sabby Sabs, RBN, and Jimmy Dore.

I do agree with his Russia, Israel, Iran, and Palestine views, though.

The US is causing and funding these forever wars, and we must stop our aggression and lies.

You should check out Professor Jeffrey Sachs’s explanations on the cause and history of these foreign forever wars.

Mandami is a liberal, with some ‘progressive’ views, and Carlson is a conservative, with some ‘libertarian’ views.

They both hold some populist views.

Mandami’s views are similar to AOC’s early pseudo-populist views that appealed to the working class, similar to Bernie Sanders.

Carlson is more like Dave Smith. They are both willing to listen and talk with others they don’t agree with. They also talk and learn from Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

They are both critical of the genocide Israel, with the full support of the United States, is doing to the Palestinian people. Their views differ on specifics.

Yes, I know the shows Carlson was on and the reasons he was ‘fired.’ It has been a while, but I remember the basics.

I think Rachel Maddow and Tucker Carlson share similarities in some of the lawsuits they faced for their shows.

MSM and Tucker were at the hip until he started going against the status quo. Now with his new show, he is even more open about his dissident views that do not align with the oligarchy talking points.

Mamdani “worked as a foreclosure prevention and housing counselor, assisting lower-income non-white homeowners in Queens with eviction notices and efforts to remain in their homes.”

He does have sway with the working class in New York. Similar to Bernie Sanders, AOC, and others and their districts.

FYI: I am more aligned with Sabby Sabs, RBN, and Jimmy Dore than Mamdani and Carlson.

Edit:

1. Name, Zachs to Sachs

Yes, he is similar to Joe Rogan in that regard.

They are not interested in being politicians.

They do go against the status quo on some issues, but they are closely aligned with certain views and people.

The tech bro oligarchy are some that Joe Rogan continuously interviews, so his push for the working class is limited by how far he is willing to go.

Again, Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson are critical of the duopoly, but they only go so far.

Their dissenting views are more welcomed than the continued push of the Western regime’s propaganda we see from the Main Stream Media (MSM) since the day we are born.

I think their views are important, though, since they both have sway with politics and the working class that others do not reach or try to reach.

Zoran Mandami

He seems like AOC 2.0.

We already know and have tried these experiments with Bernie Sanders, AOC, the Justice Democrats, DSA, and many more.

You don’t change the system from within; the system changes you.

I agree with some of his views, but I know where this goes, so I won’t hold my breath.

It is good, though, that someone like him is getting the working class to move away from the status quo, even if it is a little bit.

I say go ahead and criticize the Ukrainian and Russian governments and politicians, but that is not what you want to do.

You only want to continue the status quo of Russophobia and pushing pro-war talking points.

I will continue to push back on the status quo of mass murder and genocides my government continues to fund and support.

No, re-read.

It is about technology.

It is the status quo.

Why would I agree to it…

All is well.

Peace!

We must always be critical of all governments and politicians.

This includes the Ukraine government as well as the Russian government.

The status quo is only to criticize the Russian government and not the Ukrainian government.

If you want the status quo, then you can just read or watch any Western regime propaganda, and you will have your fill of Russophobia and pro-war views.

I mainly focus and share about the United States most of the time, since we are the ones that caused most of the wars going on right now, with our continued aggression and escalations.

We also fund and continue to cause a good number of genocides.

I focus on this because the status quo does not speak about this, or rarely they do.

Independent journalists and commentators are the dissidents willing to talk about these topics on many platforms, even when they get censored by our government (politicians, puppets of the oligarchy).

All is well.

Peace.

I would say listen to and learn from as many sources as you can.

Some great United States journalists have worked with RT. Until it got censored, as many platforms are doing with the help of the oligarchy and their political lackeys. I have communities for some.

Western propaganda is well and all, but we must work harder to understand the bigger picture by also searching for non-Western propaganda and sources.

Independent journalists and commentators can be found on many platforms; I have made communities for a few.

It is true that corporately tied and backed sources and people are increasing as MSM influence decreases; they start funding people in naturally ‘independent’ areas.

We must always be critical of all governments and politicians.

We must work hard to seek out views that we do not agree with so as to not stay in our self-built echo chambers and our self-censorship.
