...one man's "gatekeeper" is another man's stepping stone.
One of our lessons in this world, imo, is to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. No free lunch and all that.
I agree.
I have benefited from many,
many "stepping stones" since beginning conspiracy research in 1977 when I accidentally saw a UFO documentary they showed in the movie theater before the
Star Wars movie was played. I was hooked.
Via a long process of A/B testing, I laboriously waded though
mountains of disinformation garbage to find just a few tiny specks of truth gold in those mountains (especially with the UFO stuff).
I second what Riccardo said above. Consider Tucker's
background: CIA Father, Republican Party propaganda designer, the Swanson fortune, boozing with hundreds of the most powerful people on this planet at social events, obedience to scores of Media Editors over the years at
New York magazine, Reader's Digest, Esquire, Slate, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, The New York Times Magazine, The Daily Beast, and The Wall Street Journal, CNN, PBS, and
Fox.
Is is possible that Tucker is simply a Golly-Gee-Whiz innocent babe who doesn't know any better than to promote something as utopian silly and ineffective as Libertarianism? Certainly. But Ms. Chu, whether he is witting or unwitting we can guess at, but simply cannot know, and it actually doesn't matter.
His public persona and manner engenders trust. This is exactly why he has been assigned to catch and return the few strays who have wandered too far off the reservation, whether he knows it or not.
This is exactly why Tucker allows "kook stuff" on his show like UFOs, the Far Right, Poisonous Food, Medical and Vote Fraud, Putin, etc. because that's his job. It's where the strays go when they begin to distrust the MSM. I certainly did. Strays need something a bit more spicy. Tucker provides it.
All I'm saying is don't trust him 100%. Always be on lookout for when he sets a "Do Not Cross" line. Make note of where those lines are. Contemplate who benefits most from those lines he doesn't want you to cross.
Good conversation! Thank you guys!
