Tucker Carlson: Capitol riot is being weaponized to punish Biden's political enemies

Primetime Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed the Biden administration and the Democratic Party's obsession over the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, and said the riot is being used as motivation to punish Biden's political opponents.

"Because of January 6, says the chief law enforcement officer in the United States of America and many other members of Joe Biden's cabinet, we must now use law enforcement and military force to arrest, imprison, and otherwise crush anyone who leads opposition to Joe Biden's government," Tucker said. "That's their position. They say that out loud. They did today."

"So what is this exactly?" Tucker continued. "Well, it's a big change in the way the United States government assesses and then treats its own citizens. We are living through the transformation of a formerly democratic Republic into something else. We're looking at growing authoritarianism."

"That's not an overstatement," Tucker said Tuesday night. "Vladimir Putin knows authoritarian systems very well. And he sees clearly what is happening in this country." Carlson aired a video of an interview between Russia's Vladimir Putin and NBC News in which the outlet asked Putin if he ordered the assassination on Alexi Navani in which Putin replied, "Of course not. We don't have this kind of habit of assassinating, anybody."

"That's one. Number two, is I want to ask you, did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman? Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress and they didn't go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands," Putin said to NBC.

Carlson implied that his show would never air footage from a foreign adversary criticizing the US government, but we're not under normal circumstances.

According to Tucker, the President of Russia made fair remarks and questioned why the federal government won't release the identity of the police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6. "But honestly, those are fair questions who did shoot Ashley Babbitt and why don't we know?" Tucker asked.

"Are anonymous federal agents now allowed to kill unarmed women who protest the regime? That's okay, now? No, it's not okay. It will never be okay."

"And why are all those January six protesters still in prison on trespassing charges as so many Biden voters, who torched federal buildings, are walking free? What's the answer to that question?" Tucker asked. "If all of that was going on in Russia, we would rightly call it scary. We would call Putin a dictator. In fact, we do call him a dictator."

I do not like any news, yeah it's good to hear them when they are logical and truthful about what they are talking about, giving both sides of the story. But have you ever noticed a mob riot forming and hunting down the perps (the people who truly did the wrong) in a story? No!

I could never understand it as a kid or now as an adult, how they (media) can be truly right about a topic (morally, ethically, truthfully) where the people who did the wrong (usually in government) are not hunted down and dragged the next day through the court system after the story airs. Some might argue, well thats do to checks and balances and it takes time because the checks and balances in place need time to confirm if it's true. Bullocks!

If the actions of those in charge, contradict the law and morals of the land and we can see, hear, touch, smell and taste it. The next day action can be taken. After all, isn't that what they do when we speak up?

I first noticed this contradiction as a child with my parents, other adults around me, teachers, politicians, organized religion, business, the list goes on. How can they tell us one thing and do the opposite? I also noticed nothing being done about it. Then I realized, that we're are gradually taught this in an unknowing way. It starts out as little blue lies (after all, those aren't meant to harm) Tooth fairy, Santa etc, then we are taught in school not directly but indirectly through what they make us read, English, history, art....We are taught the world is this way and so we "adapt" this way of thinking and logic as it carries us through life. So when we see mobs form to protest some wrong or right, no one sees the money at play, that organised that mob. All we think is finally some people are finally doing something about it. Then it goes away, nothing happens to correct the wrong. The protest goes away for a reason, the money went away. We are incapable to see what's really going on.

People say that Adam and Eve is a dumb story, made up by a religion. Yet that moment the Serpent speaks to Eve, plays out in front of us everyday all the time and we still can't see it. Think about this, if Adam had said no to Eve, the world would be a different place. Adam was given the choice and knowing it was wrong he still ate the fruit. One can make lots of jokes about that or not. The point being,is that Eve can represent all that is compromised and up until he ate the fruit, Adam can represent all that is not compromised. It's pretty simple, yet complex. But instead, we'll compare what we see with something newer that a writer of fiction wrote a couple of hundred years ago or some writer wrote in a viral tweet or whatever, missing the point completely. Fee choice has a cost, a good spiritual cost or a bad compromised cost.The choice is your's to make.

So now when we are presented with the truth, we can't see it for what it is, we've been conditioned, schooled, trained, that there is safety in numbers and if everyone thinks it's good it must be so. Total CD.

Don't believe me, just go to amazon or a travel sight and read comments. Everyone was taught "Let the Buyer Be Ware" and yet when you read the comments, people are clueless.

Thus ends todays rant!

JTF Truth Good rant. Oddly enough, I've recently had a Chinese student here in Canada make a similar comment about Westerners living in denial and fantasy. She said that critical thought does not exist here. I had to agree

That is it. Americans have been playef like puppets because many of us are. The good news is people are waking from their sleep. Some of them are cutting the strings. No one wants to be played like a fool.

Quote of the Day

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
