This is pretty much my view as well. It seems that Tucker got a wake-up call from something, like maybe his experiences in Iraq, and once he began to "see the unseen", sort of, or at least behind the curtain of propaganda, the scales began to fall from his eyes.
The main point here is, I think, intent, that is based on the nature of the individual and the specific details of the "cover up" and the context in which they may or may not have been a conscious or unconscious party to it.
Was Tucker being consciously deceptive, or was he simply the kind of person who couldn't 'go there', and was therefore more easily convinced that everything was legit with the election?
There's a big difference between people like that, and people who knowingly cover up the facts. Then again, there are different categories of that latter type (and probably the former).
There are many reasons for someone (Tucker or anyone else) to tell lies at some time in their lives. Either they are telling lies knowing the truth to mislead, or they have been mislead themselves and end up telling lies thinking they're telling the truth. When a person recognizes that they've made mistakes in the past, that they contributed to the problem, and try to do better, that's a rare quality to be recognized. Nobody's perfect from birth to death, but there's always a way to become better (or worse, depends on the individual). Therefore, all that matters is what Tucker does or says today given the knowledge he has access to. If he's right about something, he's right about it. If he's wrong about something, he's wrong about it.
I think it is always a good idea to check automatic judgments about people based on assumptions. It is an automatic thing everyone seems to be doing in to one extent or the other. After all, if what the C's is said is true (that all is a big school and that 3D is therefore practically also defined by it in large proportions), then naturally, almost everything is open for change, always, and most especially in regard to people and what they think and do. In that regard I think it is also always a good idea to remind ourselves about our own assumptions, ignorant beliefs and so on in the past, when we are judging others about "what they do or have done" or "believe in and/or promote" now. I for example always try to keep in mind that I believed such nonsensical things as the official story of 9/11 at one time too. Therefore, in most cases (including Tucker Carlson) I think it is generally always a good idea to give people the benefit of a doubt rather than categorically label them as such or such, or invent this or that "out there" conspiracy theory about "who they really are" and "what they really do".
And as a general rule I think it is also always a good idea to try to put ourselves in the shoes of others before even attempting to pass judgments. On a personal note, I find Tuckers reporting in recent years more than just refreshing and entertaining. I like the guy, and I think what he does is good and soothing for the soul.
So, here is a possible attempt of trying to put ourselves in Tuckers shoes and give him the benefit of a doubt:
- By Tuckers own assertions he grew up in a rich family in the heart of the empire; in the high class environment of Washington DC. More than that, he grew up in a privileged environment/position there and was, and might still be, deeply entangled within that "privileged Washington establishment" atmosphere.
- In combination with the above, Tucker was "educated" about "great America" and "the rest of the world" as most Americans are; in a deeply false, ignorant and aloof way.
- If the story about Tucker wanting to join the CIA at the age of around 19
and being rejected is true, it should be noted that it is interesting that the CIA would have rejected him. Why would that be? My bet is that Tucker already displayed some rebellious, and questioning thinking patterns that the CIA doesn't like and tries to filter out from the get-go. In other words; Tucker might have already displayed disobedient attitudes back then. As for "why would Tucker want to join the CIA?". I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out: He was a typical-privileged and ignorant young American male who found the idea "right" and even"cool" to "fight for America" as a "spy". I bet that most males at one point or the other flirted with ideas such as becoming a spy and/or a soldier, especially in America.
- By
Tuckers own assertion, he was a drug addict until August 31, 2002, when his fourth child was born (which was apparently one of the things that propelled him to quit drugs). So, we can reasonably assume that Tucker, in addition to the above points, was under the influence of (apparently serious) drugs in the crucial time period between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. As everyone knows that had problems with drugs (or even just studied the issue from the outside), it can take many years for the negative effects of those substances on the mind to alleviate. And even then, depending on the severity of the misuse of drugs, there can be lasting negative consequences that never fully go away in a lifetime. So, we can summarize that Tucker became a propaganda mouthpiece for the PTB in Iraq just 7 months after he got sober, in addition to the above background. So, would it be any wonder that Tucker thought, said and did what he did considering that background?
- By Tuckers own assertion it was only about 5 years ago that he really started to "wake up" to the extent of the lies and the way the PTB used him as a tool for their agendas. Tucker made it clear that that fact didn't sit well with him (aka. being used as a puppet/tool for the agendas of the PTB).
- So, with all the above in mind I would say that it is quite an astounding feat to come as far as Tucker has in terms of "waking up". In most cases, I would presume, it is one thing to "wake up" from a normal "middle class" or even "underprivileged" background, but it is quite another feat "to wake up" from a privileged and/or rich background. I would assert that being able to do so is very difficult for most privileged people.
