Tucker Carlson: Lord Haw Haw With A Bow Tie
Listening to Tucker Carlson's increasingly unhinged blather about America's absolutely justified war against the Islamic Republic occupying Iran is reminiscent of Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw Haw during the Second World War.
Tucker is spouting unbelievable nonsense that directly contradicts empirical evidence, yet he continues to be platformed by social media and the compliant dinosaur media because his message is in part rabid criticism of Donald Trump and American Hegemony. And what's the other part? Well, foaming-at-the-mouth Jew-hate, in the guise of blaming the Israeli government for manipulating Donald Trump into going to war against Iran, suggesting disloyalty on the part of American Jewry, and further claiming that there is no Iranian intransigence...that it is entirely caused by American and Israeli aggression. The supposed plot to kill President Trump and other officials? DISINFORMATION! Tucker Carlson sarcastically floats nuking Iran if they actually try killing Trump in fiery clash with Ted Cruz over Israel conflict Except... Pakistani man found guilty in Iran-backed plot to kill US politiciansA Pakistani man with ties to Iran has been found guilty of plotting to assassinate US politicians and officials. Asif Merchant, 47, hired a hitman in New York to kill prominent American officials and targeted US President Donald Trump in 2024.
And here's the NYT link. Oops! Tucker Carlson is nothing more than a paid propagandist, trying to undermine his own country at the behest of his masters in Tehran and Qatar. Although he seems to be working for the Mullahs for free, because they are otherwise engaged and probably don't have the cash to pay him anyway. I guess it's just a labor of love for him. At least Lord Haw Haw had the decency to leave Great Britain and go to Germany during World War II. Tucker insists upon enjoying the advantages of being an American citizen in America while simultaneously working to injure the country and strengthen its existential enemies in Iran and elsewhere. He is also viciously critical of "Christian Zionists," whom he claims are deluded, and have misinterpreted the Gospels. And we all know what an amazing scholar of the Bible Tucker is, so I guess we should take him seriously. Curiously unmentioned in his rants are the facts of 47 years of Iranian warfare against America and the West. Also unmentioned are the many thousands of innocents murdered by Iranian proxies in the Middle East and in other parts of the world, and that is right out of the Goebbels Handbook! Optimistically, Tucker Carlson's influence is going to wane, as his obvious partisanship and even more obvious stupidity begins to eclipse his measured and calm demeanor. My personal theory: Tucker Carlson is dumber than a rock, but for many years at media outlets with writers and editors and producers and executives controlling his stupidity and hatred, his idiocy was hidden. Now, without that advantage, the true Tucker Carlson emerges, and wow...he is a f*cking idiot!

I still do not understand why he was allowed to speak at the TPUSA event last year.
That seemed to be all about money instead of principles to allow him to speak, knowing he had influence and people would buy tickets to see him speak.
His influence cannot wane fast enough.

My theory is Carlson, a rich kid, has always been a tad off (bow tie) but was close to normal, traditional conservative in his views…. But then he got fired by Fox a few years ago and that sent him off the rails. He’s now in the middle of a complete midlife crisis meltdown and it’s hard to know if he’ll ever recover his equilibrium.
Everyone should probably start to ignore the guy… including JD Vance. If I had a friend who had this kind of meltdown I’d probably have a few serious conversations with him to push him back to sanity and decency. But if he wouldn’t listen to me, I’d distance myself…..

2. Shower them with more than enough money to totally indulge their secret vices.
3. Watch very bad things happen to them.

The idea that Donald Trump of all people is secretly being controlled by anyone let alone Israel is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. There are videos and articles, even old tweets from Trump going back decades laying out what he thought about Iran and the terrorist regime and it had nothing to do with Israel other than they were a strong and important ally.
Trump has his faults but being anyones puppet is not one of them. And if supporting Israel over the rest of the countries in the Middle East makes me a zionist then so be it.

And in Gaza. And Norway. And Germany. And even Sweden... In Malmo, the largest ‘Muslim city’ in Sweden and Europe, where a quarter of the population is Muslim, the study found that 71% of the convicted rapists were immigrants.
(Swedish authorities tried to prosecute the female lead researcher for releasing those numbers.)
A previous survey by Sweden’s SVT television after the migrant crisis found that 58% of convicted rapists were immigrants and that 80% of the rapists who attacked women whom they did not know were immigrants.

I just saw the most Canadian video ever.
A native Canuck gets on a bus, and takes his time to pay but does pay. Shortly thereafter a couple of cops come over and tell me he is getting fined because he didn't pay fast enough.
The cops? A chunky black Caribbean women and a cute, but way too small to be a cop, arabic woman.
While the canadian is arguing with the two foreigner/policewomen you can see a black guy in the back doing drugs. He points this out and they tell him this is about him and they don't care if other people are doing other things.

I have just seen the unedited footage of the October 7th attacks. Please read:
What I saw was young men chopping off heads, shooting everything in sight, slaughtering little crying kids calling for their mummy, throwing grenades inside houses and cars and shelters, maiming bodies, playing with them, setting humans on fire, looking like it's the happiest day of their life.
They call their relatives to celebrate how many they have killed. The parents back in Gaza are thrilled. They cheer and ask for more.
"Bring back some heads for the people to play with" - asks a commander. The savages wilfully oblige, using flick knives to remove the skulls from slaughtered bodies like butchers carving up a carcass.
"Bring some home for the people so we can crucify them in the square" the Hamas leaders order.

I saw a video talking about the recent Middle Eastern conflicts we've had. The guy argued the difference between the 1st and 2nd Iraq war was they Iraqis "learned" how to fight us.
But that's not really accurate. In the 1st war we just bombed the shit out of our enemies. There was no building democracy, no paying jihadis's families if we killed them, no JAGs deciding killing enemies was a war crime.
The lesson here is just keep inflicting pain on the Irani leadership. Kill them, destroy their things, make their lives miserable. And keep doing that until they are all dead or they come to the table on our terms. And if the next Irani leader is an asshole, but an asshole who won't mess with the US, that's a win.

Hegseth said something like "We've obliterated their first string leadership, and then their second string leadership. If they still aren't cooperating we'll obliterate their third string".
A much better sports analogy than "Run a pick six", LOL.
Related: Iran says there's a new supreme leader but they aren't going to say who it is.

That is President Trump's stance as well:
Fox News @FoxNews
REPORTER: "Can you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like to you? What do you want from Iran?"
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "It's where they cry uncle or when they can't fight any longer — there's nobody around to cry uncle. That could happen, too, because, you know we've wiped their leadership numerous times already."
"So it's if they surrender or, if there is nobody around to surrender, but they're rendered useless in terms of military."

The US can supply its own oil and gas indefinitely if we put every elected Democrat in a "fun camp". (Commies are very big on things are what their name says, even if all real evidence is to the contrary). But oil is a market and the squeeze on it elsewhere affects the global price.

Can we stop having mask-dropping moments? The Covid-Floyd one-two punch was bad enough, but then ever since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, some people that seemed to still be normal have slid into unhinged madness. (The already mad immediately went completely berserk, in a way masking the slow decline of the others, since at least they weren't occupying college quads.) Or have we finally reached the point where anyone who has kept his mind thus far will not be rattled by the next shock?

His podcast rants about Israel manipulating the United States into going to war with Iran so the Dome of the Rock mosque can be destroyed so a a third temple can be erected in Jerusalem is bonkers. This interpretation of events is so obviously off the rails that it could easily be mistaken for 1970s Bible belt preachers ranting on the radio on Saturday afternoons about damnation and revelations. The upshot of it all is Tucker Carlson has over the last couple of years become a stark raving nut with a microphone. it's only a matter of time before he ends up hosting biblical end time symposians to tens of people in rural granges while living in cheap motel where he spends his evenings drinking mai tais and working on biblical numerology. It's sort of cruel to find all this amusing. but what the hell, he started it so I might as well have some fun while this evolves.

Yes, I've noticed gas prices are up again, but the perspective is that they are about what they were under Biden up until the date people believed Trump would win. And I remember diesel being over $5/gallon in 2016 and expecting it would hit $7/gallon since Trump seemed like such a long shot to win. The FNM makes it sound like the country has never had to deal with high gas prices when we only had a year of lower prices from Trump 2 policies.

Yesterday, I suggested that the inability of the Iranians to decide whether they should shoot missiles at other ME countries was a result of a power struggle in Iran, and that it could degenerate into a civil war.
I think that's becoming a reality. The link describes the conflict between the IRGC and the mullahs. The mullahs have had power since the revolution, but now the IRGC wants that power so they can establish a purely military dictatorship.
Their main enemy would be the regular Iranian army, which likes neither the mullahs nor the IRGC, the latter of which appears to function as the SS did to the Wehrmacht.
The struggle could easily become a full blow CW. Perhaps they can all lose.

I don't think he is a nut is the thing. I think he is deliberately putting out disinformation for a reason--and that reason is evil and anti-Semitic.
The Fake MAGA crowd, like the Rinos before them, are trying to cause Trump to lose the midterms because they want to crash the whole system.
And the aim is at young males to cause them to hate pretty much everyone. James Lindsay attributes that to Alexander Dugin's philosophy being adopted--I am agnostic to that, but I think it is a power play by Tucker and other influencer/pseudo pundits to replace Israel and Jews on the right with Muslims in the MAGA coalition.
The key is the blame on Israel (see Me Again) and AIPAC for the war rather than making a reasoned approach to opposing the war.

Califorinia fuel prices are mostly due to idiot California polices. But in 2016 diesel was over $5/gal except maybe in Tx and some southeast states that are always better than the national average for fuel prices. A few weeks or even a few months of Demonrat level fuel prices to get rid of the Iranian cancer is well worth it.

Gas prices were $5/gallon June of 2022.
And no one on the left said a word when Obama stated that "electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket" during his 2008 Presidential campaign. His energy secretary also stated that gas prices here needed to be more like the sky-high prices in Europe.
Obama 2008: "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was — they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" — was made by Steven Chu, Obama's nominee (and later Secretary) of Energy, in a September 2008 Wall Street Journal interview.

Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was — they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" — was made by Steven Chu, Obama's nominee (and later Secretary) of Energy, in a September 2008 Wall Street Journal interview.

Their main enemy would be the regular Iranian army, which likes neither the mullahs nor the IRGC, the latter of which appears to function as the SS did to the Wehrmacht.
The struggle could easily become a full blow CW. Perhaps they can all lose.

Unfortunately, I think the Iranian army, by and large, is disarmed and is mainly a conscript force in being so that if an external war started then it could be used. The IRGC is an entirely separate parallel force structure with its own army, navy, special forces, and air force while the nominal military arms are essentially ill armed, ill trained, and more like a reserve component than Iran's real military.

Oh I saw a funny infographic.
It compared how successful "immigrants" were between the US, Switzerland, UAE, and Singapore.
Now, I am less familiar with Singapore, but UAE doesn't have welfare for "immigrants". And they really only let in two classes of people - western specialists and south Asian slaves, uh, sorry, indentured servants.
And Switzerland? I guess its nice to be sitting on the profits of all of Europe's illegal banking.

Whig - here's a Grok comparison of the army (Artesh) vs IRGC:
Iran maintains two parallel military structures under the Supreme Leader: the regular armed forces (Artesh, or Islamic Republic of Iran Army) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, or Sepah/Pasdaran). This dual system dates back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when the IRGC was created as an ideologically loyal force to protect the new regime and counterbalance the pre-revolutionary Artesh (which had ties to the Shah).
Manpower Comparison
Artesh (regular army): Approximately 350,000–420,000 personnel (including ground forces ~350,000, air force ~37,000, navy ~18,000, and air defense ~15,000). It relies heavily on conscripts.
IRGC: Approximately 190,000 personnel (including ground forces, navy, aerospace force, Quds Force for external operations, and control over the Basij paramilitary/mobilization force, which can add hundreds of thousands more in reserves/militia roles).
Total active Iranian forces: Around 610,000, with Artesh holding the larger share of conventional manpower.

In conventional/territorial defense: The Artesh is stronger/larger, handling border defense, conventional operations, and much of the air/naval "blue-water" presence.
In strategic deterrence, regime security, asymmetric warfare, missiles/drones, and regional influence (proxies): The IRGC is significantly stronger and more influential. It has become the dominant force in Iran's military posture, especially post-sanctions and in conflicts like those involving Israel or proxies.
Many analysts describe the IRGC as the more powerful branch overall in practice—despite the Artesh's size advantage—due to its control of key strategic assets, higher funding priority, and direct regime loyalty.

That would make sense, since I doubt the mullahs control significant weaponry or manpower if the IRGC is done with them.

They provide the MSM a source of craziness that is then used to smear the entire conservative movement.

Mellow Sunday, fellow Acers. Why is everything at the wrong time this morning?🙄
foaming-at-the-mouth Jew-hate, in the guise of blaming the Israeli government for manipulating Donald Trump…
I finally deleted Ann Barnhardt main page and her memes page links from my speed dial last week. Just couldn't take the Bibi has Trump on a leash jibes anymore.
I haven't unsub'd to Mark Dice's YooToob channel yet, but I'm getting closer to it.
A shame, really. I appreciate Barnhardt's religious posts, as a rule (although I suspect she thinks I'm bound for Hell), and her other-subject memes were fun (she always lifted heavily from WeirdDave's Friday ONTs). Dice, likewise, has many good points, but I got tired of watching a video and waiting for him to work in an anti-Israel jab, which he consistently does. Too bad. So sad.
Fortunately there are plenty of good memesters out there every week.

===
O7 attacks should lead any objective observer to conclude that the ultimate solution is total war to drive the enemy out, whatever side you take. That is clearly the Pali position since about Day 1.
The only reason to not give Israel freedom to take the same course of action is because you do not want the palis to lose.

Yeah, they said the modern brit accent developed out of the upper class trying to distinguish themselves from the lower class to distinguish the high society, or something to that effect. I guess it eventually spread. In the end though the modern brit accent is a somewhat recent thing.

The question is from who?
There is absolutely nothing inconsistent with taking down the largest state sponsor of terror that has been at war with us for 50 years and America First. You'd have to be willfully blind to not see what Trump is doing to realign the world and strengthen the west while simultaneously weaken both China and Russia and their minions by taking down rogue countries that supply them like Venezuela and Iran.
We are going to emerge from this as the dominant energy player in the world able to control world events through energy not war while also removing dictators and terrorists who threatened us and our allies.
That is America First. So who is paying Tucker, Owens and Fuentes to be against that?

Unverified reports of desertions are mainly of Army and regulars and it is the officers leaving off base and the conscripts to fend for themselves.
My guess is the Army is more like a sinecure rather than a cohesive fighting unit as its last war ended in 1980's with Iraq. Something similar existed in Saddam's Iraq, especially during the Second Gulf War as the Republican Guard was a cohesive fighting unit but the regular Army, not so much.

But, for obvious reasons, we have special forces there to get downed pilots, probably do crucial networking on the ground with all the assorted minorities, Azeris, Baluchis, Kurds, etc., and other purposes.

It's a stupid business move unless you think we are going to fail in Iran.
There will always be some op to run to keep the retards going, even if Iran goes 100% positively. Then you just mention that Eisenhower had a bagel in 1955 and blame The Joooooos.

He's been heading off in this direction over the last few years. It seems he has had a religious renaissance and has developed a white hot fervor that has become rather delusional. He's not that much different than the guy with a cardboard size screaming and yelling at stop lights about the end times. He's just smells a little better. With that said, that doesn't make his rants any less evil or anti-semitic. He's a nut.

I think he is Dusty 'Lonesome' Rhodes and doesn't believe a word of it. Episcopalians are not noted for religious fervor nor are the ruling class norms, I think it is all an act because he assumes evangelicals, who are the strongest supporters of Israel, think like he talks about. And thus he can sway them and fleece them.

Almost within hours after the Trump Administration announced that the US Navy would provide escort services for shipping in the Persian Gulf, and that a US agency would offer to cover wartime insurance rates for the same, the UK suddenly made noises about sending a Type 45 destroyer to Cyprus and supporting the US-Israeli efforts with its two aircraft carriers.
Well, the Type 45 destroyer wouldn't be ready for leaving port for at least a week, the CVs are in the same pickle, and DJT announced that, in any case, the offers were a day late and a dollar short.
I don't think the City wants to hear Starmer's excuses. Pretty sure Lloyds has lit a fire that's still burning brightly.

It doesn’t matter what actually happens in Iran. For these people it will be a disaster and somehow the Jews will benefit while everyone else suffers.

He's actively driving his audience away in search of a new and far more stupid one. And one that didn't care about him 15 minutes ago and won't in another 15 minutes. Doesn't seem like a very sound business model unless there is funding coming from somewhere else.

The process to fire a Sidewinder isn't exactly "pulling the trigger." There like 4 or 5 steps to cue it, select it, get it to "see" the target and then fire it.

And the Kuwaiti pilot did this 3X while misidentifying F-15E's 3X in airspace void of Iranian warplanes. IMO it was most certainly intentional.

According to the sources, the four men were gathered in the same hotel room at the moment the strike occurred, which resulted in their deaths. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the identities of the victims or the circumstances surrounding the incident."

Yes, but there may be an element of raking the muck out in front of the people, idk.
wiki
"In contemporary American usage, the term can refer to journalists or others who "dig deep for the facts" or, when used pejoratively, those who seek to cause scandal. The term is a reference to a character in John Bunyan's classic Pilgrim's Progress, "the Man with the Muck-rake", who rejected salvation to focus on filth. It became popular after President Theodore Roosevelt referred to the character in a 1906 speech; Roosevelt acknowledged that "the men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well-being of society; but only if they know when to stop raking the muck."

Has Qatarlson announced the sinking of a US carrier by an Iranian-launched Soyuz? That video is even funnier than the stealth bomber flying out of a tunnel.

Cucker has had a long tradition of flip flopping like Me Again Kelly to whatever trend he sees.
His past CNN, MSNBC, Daily Caller, Fox News, and now internet influencer is a clue. He wants to be a celebrity first and figure out a way to distinguish his brand grabbing new trends. He does this all the while figuring his audience are idiots.
Read his emails that were released in the Dominion libel case over the 2020 elections. Like Sloppy Steve's correspondence with Epstein, these people think their viewers are manipulable idiots that will believe anything they are told.

And the Kuwaiti pilot did this 3X while misidentifying F-15E's 3X in airspace void of Iranian warplanes. IMO it was most certainly intentional.

Good call on that. And yes, exactly that along with dredging up Gnostic texts and trying to distort isolated Bible quotes out of context.

I've always wondered how much of a British accent George Washington
Your average Appalachian backwoods family has an accent closer to the British accent during the Revolution than nearly anyone in the UK.

Media types even back then were known for exaggeration and invention of facts but the original term referred to mucking out stalls. Teddy got offended when some of the mucking out got splattered on him (see Mark Hanna as to why).

No idea what the battlespace was like that day. (And neither does anyone else here).
Iran has some MiG-29s in its inventory, which are visually similar to the F-15, albeit somewhat smaller.
That's about the only feasible explanation if, in fact, the MiG-29s were operating in the zone that day.

I think the first time I ran across Tucker, pre-2020 was on RedEye. He had the tie undone and was chewing Nicorette gum like a maniac. I think the first statement he made that I noted was that he said smoking was a prophylactic for alzheimer's' which was different.
My thought at that time was mostly 'look! generic republican man.' Seemed to be generic white guy republican being hip- of which there seemed to be about 70 at the time.

Swanson was sold to Campbell in 1955. That’s a long time. Fortunes can easily vanish in 3 generations once all the cousins start pissing it away.
And it’s not like the family got shares in Google. Its shares in Campbell soup. Not exactly a high growth stock. I doubt there’s much of the “family fortune” left, if any.

Very possible. Tucker's father was in the CIA and Tucker has talked openly about his attempts to get in. Given the CIA's history via Project Mockingbird and other such media ops, it is reasonable to assume at the very least, he has contacts in the agency and its vast flotilla of 'former' CIA operatives.
The congruence between Fuentes, Owens, Me-Again Kelly, and Tucker and the whole Bannon mob is pretty high on opposing and counter messaging Trump's administration.
Not above an intel agency dabbling in politics now with a lot of its operatives now officeholders and candidates for teh Dems, to try to split the Trump administration's political base to make the beating of the Deep State to stop.

Carlson's idiocy was always obvious to anyone who watched Crossfire. Between him, Robert Novak, Paul Begala, and James Carville, there was no debate, just shouting over each other and the guest. Jon Stewart was 100% correct in his assessment of the show 3 months before it was cancelled.
Is it a coincidence that a secular Jew denounced Carlson's first Bow Tie Sinecure just before it was cancelled and Carlson has gone the full Jew Hater? I am just asking a question!
When Carlson's show began on Fox and started getting praise, I commented that he played the same talk over guest games he did on Crossfire. I was told to shut up, that Carlson is da man! Of course, if Carlson liked someone, he gave them the same fawning admiration and softballs he gives favored guests now. Ultimately, he is what he has always been.
As for financing, given the geopolitical stage and the comments that Trump has been isolating China, perhaps someone should check if Carlson has a relationship with Xi. Again, I am just asking a question.

CBD is a jew, who is pushing israeli propaganda in violation of FARA.
The good news is, the ethnic changes the jews have been pushing are having a side effect that the new populations don't give a shit about what jews want

I had previously subscribed to Tucker's network after he left Fox. (Yes, I know, silly me.) Since he went off the deep end I tried to cancel my subscription to TCN. They did let me cancel, but refused to refund the remainder of my subscription amount. So I'm stuck being a subscriber until my subscription ends. Thus, his subscriber base won't show the effects of his views until much later.

I don't think the guy is stupid, but I do think he's like a lot of these media types: He goes where the money is. Right now, he is either getting paid for this or he thinks he'll attract more revenue than as a standard conservative, or both.
When I first saw O'Reilly on Fox probably 25 years ago I figured him to either be a lefty or apolitical. But he saw where the bucks were, and cultivated the right schtick to do well on Fox. Don't misunderestimate the profit motive.

Nailed it, CBD. I also have been calling him Lord Haw Haw. Qatarlson comes off as deeply mentally unhinged. The latest photos of him show a scowling, angry visage. He is twisted much like his comrades-in-arms Candace, Me-Again, and Little Adolph (Fuentes).
