The thing is, Fox doesn’t have the power to shut down truth.
Just in case you’ve been trapped in an abandoned mine shaft for the past week, I have some bad/good/indifferent news to tell you: Tucker Carlson WAS FIRED FROM FOX NEWS.
In the very strange days of Covid and the stranger aftermath, I observed that traditional alignments were re-alingned: in some cases, allies became enemies, and vice versa; trusted sources of information became twisted sources, and vice versa: the community of Covid-truthers became galvanized around opposing fascist lockdown measures and experimental mRNA mandates, and the crap we got from the enthusiastic compliers.
The garbage year of 2021 was the first time I ever watched Tucker Carlson, albeit, intermittently, as I am a never-cable “news” news kind of person. The contrasts and contradictions from one channel to the other and the hypocritical positings of some are amusing and illustrative of the collapse of this society, but I never take them seriously.
However, Carlson was the only one on any cable noise show that gave voice to doubt about the Covid narrative, the Ukraine war, gender dogma, etc. If Carlson (my grandson has a bearded dragon named Tucker, he is seriously cool) and I agreed on some things, I am positive that we were coming at the same conclusions from different sides of the problem. For example, I think he feels that the USA’s military target should be China and I think the USA just needs to calm the fuck down and withdraw, militarily, from every where.
Anyway—-here is my analysis of the video (which garnered 57 MILLION VIEWS in less than 24-hours!) he posted the other day:
Tucker: “Good evening, it’s Tucker Carlson”
ME: “Tucker, mother trucker! ‘Sup, where you been, bro?”
Tucker: “The first thing you notice when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country.”
ME: “Thanks, bro, you don’t even know me, but I am super-nice. I can’t speak for the ‘nice’ people who are randomly attacking other nice people, or the desperate wankers on social media essentially clamoring for WWIII, But, hell, yeah, I AM NICE!”
Tucker: “Kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true.”
ME: “You’re losing me, bro. A country where most of the people spent two plus years wearing face diapers, injecting experimental needle juice into their precious bodies all while watching their loved ones die on Zoom calls? And if you were smart enough not to comply completely with the diktats, you were verbally, and in some cases, physically, abused. Truth has been mostly absent, especially since 2020”
Tucker: “The other thing you notice when you take some time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.”
ME: “No, shit?”
Tucker: “They’re completely irrelevant, they mean nothing.”
ME: “Duh?
Tucker: “In five years we won’t even remember we had them. Trust me as someone who has participated.”
ME: “You participated, but now we are supposed to listen to you? You’re going to need more than that, bro.”
Tucker: “And yet, at the same time, this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, ones that will define our future get no discussion at all: War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time.”
ME: “Not since Phil Donahue was fired from MSNBCia for questioning the Iraq War, twenty years ago.”
Tucker: “Debates like that are not permitted in American media.”
ME: “Edward R. Murrow is rolling in his grave.
Tucker: “Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.”
ME: “Really? No, shit. I wish I would have thought of that years, and years ago. (Said while rolling my eyes as hard as I can. Ouch!)”
Tucker: “Suddenly the United States looks very much like a one-party state.”
ME: “‘Suddenly’, bro? “
Tucker: “That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent.”
ME: “Bro, are you calling for me to meet you at the barricades, somewhere? Revolution? Because that’s what it will take to knock this behemoth out. Give the command, say the word, let’s do this thing.”
Tucker: “Our current orthodoxies won’t last.”
ME: “In the name of the Fauci, the Gates, and the Holy Jab. Amen” Or, ‘In the name of the Zelenskyy, Biden, and the Holy Bomb. Amen.’”
Tucker: "They’re brain dead no one believes them.”
ME: “Actually, there are very few intellectually honest people out here: the people who don’t live in your hypobaric echo chamber and who have been butting our heads against the lack of common sense out here in the real world.”
Tucker: “Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them.”
ME: “Correct, except the lives of the 0.001%. The past three-years have presided over a massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top: ‘they’ only want one thing: EVERYTHING.”
Tucker: “This moment is inherently ridiculous to continue, so it won’t.”
ME: “Join me in our campaign to ridicule the Garbage People out of existence. Laughter, is after all, the best medicine.”
Tucker: “The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid.”
ME: “I think that “they” are desperate to hold onto the last fragments of their power and that they won’t stop at anything to do so: Even nuclear annihilation is not off the table to these maniacs.”
Tucker: “They’ve given up persuasion.”
ME: “‘Persuasion:’ AKA, fear-based, and false, propaganda.”
Tucker: “They’re resorting to force. But it won’t work.”
ME: “This is an ‘iron law’ of the universe—-the Garbage People who think they are in charge, because the masses let them be, will use every tool at their disposal to retain their wealth and power. No means of control are off the table, as we are witnessing on a daily basis.”
Tucker: “When honest people say what’s true, calmly, and without embarrassment, they become powerful.”
ME: “Sounds like some wishy-washy Kamala Harris, or Marianne Williamson, b.s. Ask Julian Assange, Chair Omali Yeshitela, and Uhuru, etc about how powerful sharing the truth is.”
Tucker: “At the same time the liars who try to silence them shrink and they become weaker.”
ME: “We need to figure out how to make this a material reality, not just another futile intellectual exercise.”
Tucker: “That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
ME: “Prevail=True Things? To me, the universe will keep doing what the universe does whether things are truly, or falsely stated: In the blink of the universe’s eye, a few centuries (Earth time) ago, an iron law of the universe was the belief that the sun revolved around a flat earth. I do believe in the near future, this shamdemic error will be picked apart and we will be vindicated, but that and $5 can almost buy us a cup of coffee.”
Tucker: “Where can you find Americans saying true things.”
ME: “Even though I don’t self-identify as an American: ‘Yoo-hoo, Sailor, over here.’”
Tucker: “There aren’t many places left, but there are some, and that’s enough.”
ME: “In the words of my guru Kamala: ‘…for us at every moment in time — and certainly this one — to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.’ Sigh…words to live by.”
Tucker: “As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.”
ME: “The hopium of the masses will be in this moment of time in which we exist and are present, as long as we can contextualize it, in the history, in the moment, in the past, in the future, in concurrent timelines, everything, everywhere, all at once.”
Tucker: “See you soon.”
ME: “Not if I see you first, bro!”
While he has made enormous strides to break free from being an anti-truther, to a true truther, Tucker has pissed off the truth movement and has ridiculed conspiracy “theorists” (I prefer to call myself a Conspiracy Prophet). My opinion is that Tucker Carlson is being used as a cautionary tale to any other so-called journalist who might think he/she might just step slightly out of the approved narrative, if the persecution and long solitary confinement of Julian Assange hasn’t already scared them away from verity.
Tucker has been a cog in the machine for so long, we’ll see what happens with the era of being the new Pope of Hope. If the firing of Tucker completes the downfall of cable news, I am on board with that! Cable noise is massively destructive, reductive, irrelevant, and it has profoundly dumbed down discourse.
I wholeheartedly commend EVERYONE, including myself, who have been truth seekers, no matter how much approbation or hardship it has caused us.
Good on us.

MEME OF THE DAY:
“Bro, are you calling for me to meet you at the barricades, somewhere? Revolution? Because that’s what it will take to knock this behemoth out. Give the command, say the word, let’s do this thing.” ... I couldn't have said it better and I couldn't agree more, but "No", that NOT what Tucker is calling for... Unfortunately, I agree with you... wholeheartedly... "Because that's what it will take" to knock the buzzards off of this fucking shit wagon.
I love you Cindy!
