-Great Cultural Revolution
Whitlock: Tucker Carlson and the rise of matriarchal Marxism
[Blaze] The matriarchy can fly the "mission accomplished" flag across America. It toppled the man-made meritocracy that imperfectly defined American culture for 200+ years.

The fall of Tucker Carlson at Fox News symbolizes the matriarchy’s prioritizing of message over merit. Performance could not shield Carlson from the consequence of America’s adoption of a feminized culture that levels the playing field by castrating men, reimagining traditional standards, and embracing a false reality.

Monday morning, Fox News cut ties with the most popular host on cable television. According to the Los Angeles Times and other so-called news outlets, Rupert Murdoch, the founder of Fox News, decided to oust Carlson partially because of a discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, a former talent booker on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Grossberg claims she was bullied and subjected to anti-Semitic remarks while working for Carlson.

It’s a familiar pattern at Fox News and across corporate media and America. From Roger Ailes to Tavis Smiley to Bill O’Reilly, the misbehavior of men and/or allegations of disgruntled female employees are used to dislodge men from positions of influence.

#1  Considering the recent performances of Women in Charge, I think I'm starting to understand why a successful true Matriarchal system, not a woman spokesmodel but actually wielding power, is a rare historical event to be pondered.

#2  Planned lawfare strategy continued after Dominion settlement. Pure histrionic noisemaker to further push Murdoch over the edge.

"Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Abby Grossberg is suing Carlson and the Fox Network over sexual behavior in the workplace, despite never having met Carlson in person.

The Spectator reports that lawyers for Grossberg have confirmed that she never actually met Carlson. "Like many on the [Tucker Carlson Tonight] staff, Abby never met Tucker Carlson in person because he taped the show from his personal studios in Maine and Florida, and he did not visit Fox's NY HQ during her time there," said one of Grossberg's attorneys Kimberly A. Catala."

#3  I recall back in the 90s we all laughed at how society was feminizing men, and that eventually the real women would stand up and demand and end to the lunacy. They never did, in that it was more dangerous to cross the sisterhood than it was to stand up for your own. Fast forward to today, men are taking over women's sports and I really struggle to find a reason I should care (other than realizing what's really at play)

#5  Whitlock seems to be a frequent contributor to Tucker’s Show. I may be wrong, I watch very few shows on traditional or cable television of any kind. If Tucker is trying to implement a white supreme cost agenda, somebody ought to let Whitlock know on the DL.

Schlichter: Struck Down, Tucker Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine
[Townhall] Tucker Carlson is neither down nor out; he is going to come back bigger and badder than ever. All you goofy virgins who love “Star Wars” will recall that when Darth Vader sliced Obi-Wan Kenobi in two – or at least his moth-eaten cloak – Ben stopped existing in this dimension and became a superbeing who popped in for a chat whenever Luke was in trouble. Tucker’s pretty much going to do that for the movement. Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this denouement went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders.

Fox, on the other hand, will face some challenges (Full Disclosure: I occasionally guest on Fox shows and I have done hits with Tucker). It does not absolutely own the conservatives today, if it ever did. The regime media and the leftists do not understand that a lot of conservatives have been annoyed with Fox for quite a while – these cons think Fox is soft. But that misunderstands what Fox is, or at least what it strives to be. Fox, for its part, has to both be the network that welcomes the 50% of Americans the regime media rejects and also maintain old school journalistic standards. The problem is that the Fox audience has little patience for old school journalistic standards in an age where the rest of the media slanders it as a bunch of racist, sexist monsters who think that only women can get pregnant. The audience wants a cheerleader network, and not just in the primetime opinion shows, and that creates a significant tension regarding Fox’s identity.

Tucker, the network’s flagship opinion host, is gone, as are a lot of people will go with him wherever he lands. They did not consider themselves “Fox viewers” – they considered themselves “Tucker viewers.” The GOP will face a similar dilemma as the 2024 race heats up – there are a lot of people who consider themselves “Trump voters” and not “Republican voters.” Tucker has a lot of love; we will see how much love Fox has.

#1  ...FWIW, I've never seen a single episode of Tucker's show. On top of that, I gave up on Fox News Network long, long ago - it was IMHO (YMMV, of course) picking up a distinct tabloid vibe that is for me an automatic turnoff.

Fox News online is still my home page, but not for much longer; the dumb you-know-whats getting themselves in a crack with the Dominion suit. I dropped CNN back in the day when they admitted they ignored Saddam Hussein's atrocities because otherwise they would have lost access to him - I can't give Fox leeway for lying.

#6  Instead, you will curate your listening and viewing, getting a show from here and then another show from there, and essentially making your own daily line-up. Someone will come up with the platform to do that easily and smoothly on whichever devices we choose for those of us who are not tech savvy. When it happens, the old media orgs will stop being networks as we once knew them and become simply another bunch of content steamtables in the content cafeteria.

This is what we desperately need to break the stranglehold the legacy corporate media has on information that has brainwashed all the softheaded TV viewers.

Tucker Carlson's Prayer Talk May Have Led to Fox News Ouster:
[Vanity Fair] Twenty-four hours after Fox News ousted its highest-rated host, the network has yet to explain one of the most shocking defenestrations in cable news history. "I’m not going beyond the release," a Fox News spokeswoman texted yesterday when I asked her for comment. In this information void, multiple theories about why Fox fired Carlson circulated in the media. It was fallout from the $787.5 million Dominion settlement; punishment for vulgar text messages published in Dominion court filings; or a consequence of former Fox producer Abby Grossberg’s lawsuit, which alleged Carlson oversaw a hostile work environment. (Fox News has vowed to "vigorously defend" the company against "Grossberg’s unmeritorious legal claims.")

But none of these potential reasons fully add up. Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo hyped Dominion conspiracies far more than Carlson did, and yet she remains on the air. Fox had access to Carlson’s texts and emails in the Dominion lawsuit for months, and didn’t punish him for it. Fox hosts sued for sexual harassment in the past were fired publicly for cause, but Carlson wasn’t. According to a source, Carlson wasn’t even fired and remains on the Fox News payroll.

So the mystery remains: Why did Fox News take its biggest star off the air?

#1  I believe RFK Jr. Nailed:

"Fox fires @tuckercarlson five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers," the 69-year-old nephew of late President John F. Kennedy and son of late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy wrote on Twitter. "Carlson's breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV's two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless."

#1  Applied 4th and 5th Gen warfare has been the model for the last 20 years. I've adjusted my analysis to hold that: there will be no WWIII or anything akin to a civil war. The process of hollowing out the nation has entered its final phase. When the time is right, we will simply be occupied - and the occupation forces are already in place. Who would that be? Go do the site of GARE: Government Alliance on Racial Equity and come to truly understand what "Targeted Universalism" entails.

#3  5th Gen War -- Cognitive Warfare - the war for your mind. Because people doubt what kind of force projection an army of Gen Z and Millennials will have.

5th Gen War is Non-Conventional form of warfare that uses cyber tools to alter enemy cognitive processes, exploit mental biases or reflexive thinking, and provoke thought distortions, influence decision making and hinder action, with negative effects, both at the individual and collective levels.

- The canning of Tucker and O'Keefe
- We are all Russian Bots
- Deep Fakes Videos

- VOAT shutdown after we migrated there
- When we migrated to 8chan which was then compromised and had to be rebuilt as 8kun
- When thedonald.win was compromised and we had to move to patriots.win

The whole distortion of reality that we are experiencing this last decade are part and parcel of 5th Gen Warfare.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Ex-US Army Psyops Expert: Fox News Fired Carlson to Maintain 'Semi Lobotomized Quasi Retarded Population'
[Summit] A former US Army psychological warfare officer says that Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News because of the regime’s agenda to maintain an "uninformed semi lobotomized quasi retarded population."

The remarks were made by US counter-terror expert Scott Bennett.

Carlson and Fox News "parted ways" on Monday with speculation still raging as to the specific reason why the network canned its highest rated and most popular host.

According to Bennett, Carlson posed too much of a threat to institutional power because he turned Americans into proper "researchers and thinkers".

Carlson offered an "intellectualism, truthfulness, and an analytical depth that no other news personality has ever done in the history of the United States as far back as I can remember," said Bennett.

Tucker needed to be "silenced" because he represented too big a threat to the "powers and principalities, institutions and agendas that seek an unenlightened uninformed semi lobotomized quasi retarded population that do not question, do not research, do not analyze but simply digest and follow instructions," according to Bennett.

"Tucker Carlson also exposed the fraud and money laundering racketeering crimes of FTX and the Democrat Party in Ukraine involving the United States government. He exposed the US biochemical labs in Ukraine and their connection to the Democrat Party, President Barack Obama, Vice President Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Bill Gates, and other US government agencies and pharmaceutical companies," Bennett told Sputnik.

-Land of the Free
No, Gun Violence Isn't The Leading Cause Of Death Among Children
[Federalist] While the Anti-Gun crowd is constantly busy spreading lie upon lie regarding private citizen ownership of firearm.

The article presents real USA data vs. the political agenda driven narrative of false claims. It displays the great lengths that the Liberals, Socialists, Democrats and their Media will cherry-pick data to spread lies and disinformation for their disarmament agenda.

Whatever the case you pick, Firearms are very distant 11th or12th cause of deaths in the USA. With Suicide being the primary caused of death by firearm.

However, now we have the growing problem with liberally trained next generation. Too many of which have had the media and social media spoon-feeding them. Which has filled their empty skulls with misleading data.

The Grand Turk
Turkey's Foreign Policy: A Potential Shift with Kilicdaroglu's Possible Election Win
[Garowe] Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
, who has been in power for 22 years, may face defeat in the upcoming election as opinion polls predict a victory for the opposition's joint presidential candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu. This raises questions about the future of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
's foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, and its relationships with the US, Israel, and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
Middle East Eye reports that Kilicdaroglu's foreign policy would be based on non-intervention in neighbors' domestic affairs, impartial foreign policy, and adherence to international norms.

Kilicdaroglu's chief advisor on foreign affairs, Unal Cevikoz, states that a Kilicdaroglu-led government would be determined to normalize its relations with the international community, the EU, and NATO. The focus would be on dialogue and a non-interventionist approach, possibly changing Turkey's policy in Libya and Syria.

Somalia, in particular, is mentioned as an area of concern. Kilicdaroglu questions Turkey's involvement in the country and its military presence in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
. Turkey's military base in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, opened in 2017, can train 1,500 soldiers at a time. This was seen as a counterbalance to the influence of countries like the UAE in the Horn of Africa.

Kilicdaroglu, the opposition's joint presidential candidate, has expressed concerns about Turkey's foreign policy adventures, asking, "Why are we in Somalia? There is no reason." A potential election win for Kilicdaroglu could lead to a review of Turkey's involvement in Somalia and other countries, possibly signaling a shift in foreign policy priorities.

Kilicdaroglu's foreign policy could impact relations with Israel, Egypt, and the Gulf states. He has previously stated that he would hold Israel and Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. Until the accession of King Salman the place was under the thumb of Wahhabi holy men and was the driving force behind Salafist terrorism world-wide. Western intelligence agencies, even the dumb ones, were wise to this from at least September 12th, 2001, but politicians were reluctant to upset the international applecart. Once we started assassinating people instead of invading them the Saudis quietly folded the Death to Infidels tent, did some assassinating of their own, started modernizing, and pretended that Osama bin Laden thing had never happened...
accountable for actions taken against Turkey in recent years. The opposition leader also promised to review Turkey's ties with regional neighbors, stating that his government would like equal relations with everyone in the region.

While the future of Turkey's foreign policy remains uncertain, a potential election win for Kemal Kilicdaroglu could signal significant changes in the country's relations with its neighbors and the international community.

I think they also require seeing a national identity card for the vote.

Notwithstanding that about 80% of eligible voters cast ballots in Presidential elections, much higher than in most countries.

Government Corruption
Whether in Ukraine or Sudan, Death Follows Victoria Nuland Wherever She Goes
[Gateway] Death seems to follow Victoria Nuland wherever she goes. Whether it’s in Ukraine or in Sudan, people die.
Klingon business developer. Conflict and war is her business, and business is good.
Victoria Nuland was known as the midwife of Maidan — the Obama-Biden point person reportedly running the overthrow of the Ukrainian Presidency in 2013-14.

UKRAINE 2014 COUP D’ÉTAT
After violent events associated with the Maidan revolution protests, Ukraine’s parliament ousted President Viktor Yanukovich in February 2014 and replaced him with Petro Poroshenko. Disposed Yanukovich was an existential threat because his amicable relations with Russia impeded Ukraine from becoming a European member and NATO from expanding to Russia’s border. Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, the midwife of Maidan, threatened sanctions against Ukraine’s government if President Viktor Yanukovych remained in office. (Over 100 people were killed in the protests.)

Biden deserves a second term in the White House
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Victoria Nikiforova

[RIA] "Nooo! We can't take it anymore!" - Americans write in social networks under the video of Joe Biden, in which the US President announces his decision to run for a second term. But who asks them, the Americans?

There is no need to mention that at the time of the presidential election, Biden will turn 82. For the third year now, the population of the entire planet has been laughing at his falls, slips of the tongue, and mistakes. This is a value judgment, of course, but it looks as if Mrs. Dementia has long embraced the President of the United States.

Of course, in our time, mental problems are not a sentence. Medicine can do a lot, and a strong team could take over the solution of all problems, leaving the president with purely representative functions. However, Vice President Kamala Harris, who again runs in tandem with Biden, is despised in America no less than her patron. The team obviously can't handle it.

Sleepy Joe - this is the most censored of all Biden's popular nicknames - has overwhelmed the American economy on all fronts. The southern border is wide open. Hordes of migrants flow through it and carry tons of drugs that kill Americans. An overdose of fentanyl under Biden became the most common cause of death for citizens aged 18 to 45. Migrants, meanwhile, are creating their own ghettos, occupying entire cities in the south, ousting local residents from the labor market and from their native areas.

The country's economy, once the envy of the whole world, is shrinking before our eyes. The military-industrial complex and the market for sex services - that's all that is still somehow growing up. The real estate market is on the verge of collapse, the stock market is in a fever. Inflation hit a half-century record last year. The banking crisis never thought to end. The population hid and waits for this sluggish recession to develop into a "very big badaboom."

The American army has become a collection of physically and mentally unhealthy people, they manage to recruit only half of the required number of conscripts.

And most importantly: the masses of the people are steadily getting poorer, and against this background, the defiant luxury of the rich looks more and more monstrous. The generation of American millennials is so overwhelmed with debt that for the most part they have not the slightest chance of buying a house or an apartment. The American middle class is dying before our eyes - and all this thanks to the efforts of Biden and Co.

In an attempt to somehow even out the situation, the Democratic Party ignited a big conflict in Europe. But this strategy doesn't work either. Yes, Ukraine obediently went to the slaughter, Europe agreed to sacrifice its economy, but this only increased poverty and suffering in the world. The American people did not become richer from the Ukrainian bloodshed.

In general, both the foreign and domestic policy of the United States over the past two years has been a tremendous failure. However, paradoxically, the powerful old man Biden managed to do something. For this, the Democrats are ready to forgive him anything and again push him into the White House.

It was under Biden that the US Democratic Party established its full-fledged dictatorship in the country. This is a junta in the classical, Latin American style: the persecution of dissidents, the strange disappearances and deaths of dissidents, hundreds of political prisoners, the most severe censorship, and complete control of the media.

Moreover, under Biden, the actual transition to a one-party system took shape. In an ideological sense, the Republicans simply react to the most provocative stuffing of the Democrats, such as calls for a sex change in children. But by and large, they don’t have bright thinkers, and they don’t know how and don’t want to package a conservative agenda enticingly.

Politically, more and more Republicans in office act like they're working for the Democrats. Take at least the same Texas, which is headed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott. The population of the state constantly asks him to close the border with Mexico with the help of the National Guard subordinate to him. But Abbott is deaf to calls. Despite all his anti-migrant rhetoric, in fact he behaves in full accordance with the policy of the White House.

Biden's record growth in the millions per year is also working in the interests of the Democratic Party. These people, rapidly obtaining all the necessary identification documents, immediately become the core Democratic electorate. If necessary, they will elect the same Biden without any problems.

The Republicans have no clear answer to this dictatorship of the Democratic Party. A huge number of politicians have grown up in their party who are at odds with the Democrats purely rhetorically, while they themselves are ready to just as diligently serve the interests of the "deep state" - that supra-party symbiosis of the oligarchy and bureaucracy, which in fact rules America. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a model in this regard .

There is a scene in the wonderful series "Descendants" in which the American rich gather in a luxurious estate and, between glasses of champagne, decide in an undertone who will be the next president of the United States. The future president looks like a caricature of Joe Biden. The billionaire driving him to power is based on Rupert Murdoch , the owner of a media empire that includes Fox News and Dow Jones.

Perhaps this is just a work of art. However, Biden in his post really serves the American oligarchs very well. The only one who can challenge both him and the entire "deep state" today is Donald Trump . But will he have enough resources - both material and moral-volitional? However, he is not a boy either.

Ted Cruz Says Merrick Garland Is ‘Desperately Trying To Protect Joe Biden'
[Daily Caller] Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said he believes Attorney General Merrick Garland is protecting Joe Biden from the consequences of a potential Hunter Biden indictment.

"The Biden DOJ, I believe, is desperately trying to protect Joe Biden! They leaked that Hunter Biden was gonna get indicted, but he hadn’t been indicted. They leaked that months ago that Hunter Biden was gonna get indicted, and it still hasn’t happened," Cruz said six minutes into the Monday episode of his podcast, "Verdict with Ted Cruz."

#3  Joe is the only one likely to pardon Merrick Garland otherwise he has to beat the statute of limitations.
