Tucker Carlson was called to Washington because of a possible interview with Putin.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the US National Security Agency hacked into his Signal account and read correspondence about a planned interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to the presenter, he received a call and was summoned to Washington to clarify the situation. When he arrived, the question was asked if he was planning a trip to meet with Putin.
“How did you know, I didn’t tell anyone. Not at all. Not to my brother, not to my wife, not to anyone at all. How did you know? Because the NSA hacked into your correspondence with another person with whom you discussed this,” Carlson said.
The day before, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that Tucker Carlson wants to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Yet another federal agency not really needed.
The communists are inside government.
Ever since 9/11, and probably before that, it has been the assumption that using certain keywords in correspondence will get the attention of governmental agencies.
That’s just the way it is.
I never learned much Pig Latin, and actually found it a clunky, unattractive mode of communication, but maybe there’s still a place for it.
Tucker - a conservative who is a Putin stooge.
And they’re stopping Tucker from interviewing a former Communist?
Would beg the question...I guess you have to be on a special list (behind CNN, NPR, Nat’l Enquirer) to interview Putin? I can’t see why any gov’t agency would want to know what’s going on....other than to demonstrate they read your email.
On the list of odd questions that might be asked of Putin...is Biden competent? Putin might pull out forty phone conversations that Biden had with Burisma executives, and that’s what the DC ‘control’ folks might be worried about.
If Tucker thinks this is the first time the feds have hacked him he isn’t paying attention. I expect they’ve been on him like stink on sh!t for 4 or 5 years.
Tucker is likely wrong about this. The NSA didn’t hack into his Signal account. They monitor ALL of his communications.
“The communists are inside government.”
Bump
“Pig Latin, ... maybe there’s still a place for it.”
We use it with the cats in a few situations. “age-cay” gets no reaction, but “cage” sure does.
This Country has gone crazy.
A great history of the NSA and the “intelligence community” can be found in “The Puzzle Palace” by James Bamford. It’s old but you might still be able to find a copy.
The federal government just managed to disclose that they are tapping Russian communications at a high level.
Sounds like an assumption on Tucker’s part, as I’m sure the NSA is monitoring the Russians he was in contact with in many ways. And if he’s going to be going around Europe campaigning for the destruction of NATO, as he has been, there’s no telling who all is monitoring him, and sharing information back to the US, either.
So quit yer whining Tucker. You want to talk to Putin, you should expect to be monitored. And that’s a good thing in my book.

End Poverty in California (EPIC) was a political campaign started in 1934 by socialist writer Upton Sinclair (best known as author of The Jungle). The movement formed the basis for Sinclair’s campaign for Governor of California in 1934. The plan called for a massive public works program, sweeping tax reform, and guaranteed pensions. It gained major popular support, with thousands joining End Poverty Leagues across the state. EPIC never came to fruition due to Sinclair’s defeat in the 1934 election, but is seen as an influence on New Deal programs enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Sinclair laid out his vision for EPIC in his 1933 book I, Governor of California, and How I ended Poverty: A True Story of the Future. Specifically, the plan called for state seizure of idle factories and farm land where the owner had failed to pay property taxes. The government would then hire the unemployed to work on the farms and at the factories. The farms would then operate as self-sufficient, worker-run co-ops. EPIC also called for the implementation of California’s first state income tax. The tax was to be progressive, with the wealthiest being taxed at 30%. The plan would also have increased inheritance taxes and instituted a 4% tax on stock transfers. EPIC also included government-provided pensions for the old, disabled, and widowed. To implement EPIC, Sinclair called for the creation of three new government agencies: the California Authority for Land (CAL), the California Authority for Production (CAP), and the California Authority for Money (CAM). CAL was to implement the plan for seizure and cultivation of unused farm lands. CAP was to do the same for idle factories. CAM meanwhile was to be used to finance CAL and CAP by issuing scrip to workers and issues bonds for the purchase of lands, factories, and machinery.
In late 1934, Harry Hopkins, a senior adviser to Roosevelt who went on to oversee many New Deal programs, proposed an “End Poverty in America” campaign that The New York Times wrote “differs from Sinclair’s plan in detail, but not in principle.”

That is a great book by Bamford. But be cautious of him as his later works run decidedly to the left.
How does an interview make him a stooge? It doesn’t.
There are lots of memes (and products with the meme) “1984 is not an instruction manual.”
I’ve always liked those; but what if the meme is wrong and it *is*?
The government is.
They denied our elected one and installed their own.
No fight
Acquiescence
Easy peasy
