Tucker C Uncensored: The National Security State & the Inversion of Democracy

I am not Tucker Carlson fan boy, but after Putin's interview it just may be worth listening to the content of his other, later, interview/s (My Q: where is this all going?):
Tucker exists in a parallel make-believe universe where the US state once supported free speech, probably sometime in the 1950s when McCarthyism, COINTELPRO and the CIA control of significant numbers of media personalities was at its height, and Black people "knew their place". Or perhaps when his dad ran Voice of America. Nowhere in his memory does the fascist state that Woodrow Wilson created from 1917-1920 exist. Nor the extremely regular utter lies told to support US wars of aggression.
Tucker has many useful guests and useful insights, but he just cant accept that the US state has always been an imperialist aggressive power with a capitalist elite that control the state and what are acceptable opinions within society, as that would utterly destroy his underlying ideological worldview.

“To summon the resources necessary to create that NGO/media surround sound”. Great quote. Nm.
...is hit and miss in the extreme. If you've the stomach to sit through his fawning soft-ball interview with Argentinian pres Javier Milei or leader of the Spanish fascist Vox party Santiago Abascal, a clearer picture of his true political inclinations come to light.
I thought we'd put Tucker to bed by now...

Thanks Rask. Teaches me about skim reading and not fully absorbing the facts. Ultimately Tucker is a chameleon, out for himself. I think I need to re-read this Alan MacLeod's article every time I see him on the screen. No doubt it will also answer my original question as to where this is all going. Cheers.
