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.

Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926) was an American socialist, political activist, trade unionist, one of the founding members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and five-time candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States. Through his presidential candidacies as well as his work with labor movements, Debs eventually became one of the best-known socialists living in the United States.
In 1894, Debs became involved in the Pullman Strike, which grew out of a compensation dispute started by the workers who constructed the rail cars made by the Pullman Palace Car Company. The Pullman Company, citing falling revenue after the economic Panic of 1893, had cut the wages of its employees by twenty-eight percent.
The federal government intervened, obtaining an injunction against the strike on the grounds that the strikers had obstructed the US Mail, carried on Pullman cars, by refusing to show up for work.
At the time of his arrest for mail obstruction, Debs was not yet a socialist. While serving his six-month term in the jail at Woodstock, Illinois, Debs and his ARU comrades received a steady stream of letters, books and pamphlets in the mail from socialists around the country. Debs recalled several years later:
I began to read and think and dissect the anatomy of the system in which workingmen, however organized, could be shattered and battered and splintered at a single stroke. The writings of [Edward] Bellamy and [Robert] Blatchford early appealed to me. The Cooperative Commonwealth of [Laurence] Gronlund also impressed me, but the writings of [Karl] Kautsky were so clear and conclusive that I readily grasped, not merely his argument, but also caught the spirit of his socialist utterance – and I thank him and all who helped me out of darkness into light.
In his 1926 obituary in Time, it was said that Berger left him a copy of Das Kapital and “prisoner Debs read it slowly, eagerly, ravenously”. Debs emerged from jail at the end of his sentence a changed man. He spent the final three decades of his life proselytizing for the socialist cause.
The Social Democracy of America (SDA), founded in June 1897 by Eugene V. Debs from the remnants of his American Railway Union, was deeply divided between those who favored a tactic of launching a series of colonies to build socialism by practical example and others who favored establishment of a European-style socialist political party with a view to capture of the government apparatus through the ballot box.
Debs was the Socialist Party of America candidate for president in 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920 (the final time from prison). Though he received increasing numbers of popular votes in each subsequent election, he never won any votes in the Electoral College.
Though Debs won no state’s electoral votes, in Florida, he came in second behind Wilson and ahead of President William Howard Taft and former President Teddy Roosevelt.
Debs’s speeches against the Wilson administration and the war earned the enmity of President Woodrow Wilson, who later called Debs a “traitor to his country”. On June 16, 1918, Debs made a speech in Canton, Ohio, urging resistance to the military draft. He was arrested on June 30 and charged with ten counts of sedition.
Debs was sentenced on September 18, 1918, to ten years in prison and was also disenfranchised for life. Debs presented what has been called his best-remembered statement at his sentencing hearing:
Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Debs appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court. In its ruling on Debs v. United States, the court examined several statements Debs had made regarding World War I and socialism. While Debs had carefully worded his speeches in an attempt to comply with the Espionage Act of 1917, the Court found he had the intention and effect of obstructing the draft and military recruitment. Among other things, the Court cited Debs’s praise for those imprisoned for obstructing the draft. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. stated in his opinion that little attention was needed since Debs’s case was essentially the same as that of Schenck v. United States, in which the court had upheld a similar conviction.
Debs went to prison on April 13, 1919. In protest of his jailing, Charles Ruthenberg led a parade of unionists, socialists, anarchists, and communists on May 1 (May Day) in Cleveland, Ohio. The event quickly broke into the violent May Day riots of 1919.
Debs ran for president in the 1920 election while imprisoned in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. He received 914,191 votes (3.4 percent), a slightly smaller percentage than he had won in 1912, when he received 6 percent, the highest number of votes for a Socialist Party presidential candidate in the United States. During his time in prison, Debs wrote a series of columns deeply critical of the prison system.
On December 23, 1921, President Harding commuted Debs’s sentence to time served, effective Christmas Day. He did not issue a pardon. A White House statement summarized the administration’s view of Debs’s case:
There is no question of his guilt. ... He was by no means, however, as rabid and outspoken in his expressions as many others, and but for his prominence and the resulting far-reaching effect of his words, very probably might not have received the sentence he did. He is an old man, not strong physically. He is a man of much personal charm and impressive personality, which qualifications make him a dangerous man calculated to mislead the unthinking and affording excuse for those with criminal intent.

Although he received some success as a third-party candidate, Debs was largely dismissive of the electoral process as he distrusted the political bargains that Victor Berger and other “sewer socialists” had made in winning local offices. He put much more value on organizing workers into unions, favoring unions that brought together all workers in a given industry over those organized by the craft skills workers practiced.
A FU should have been the proper response.
(Carolina) “U.S. policy was to give Stalin, a totalitarian dictator, everything he wanted without asking anything in return. A key architect of that policy, FDR’s most powerful advisor, was Harry Hopkins, a social worker and Socialist Party alum who excelled at giving away other people’s money. For most of his time in Washington, Hopkins held no Cabinet post though he resided at the White House for three years, giving Stalin the inside track.
The authors — journalists and Cold War-era experts Stan Evans and Herb Romerstein — show how Hopkins, Moscow’s “principal agent” during the war, made sure Stalin got U.S. documents about the American nuclear program, and even a shipment of Uranium-235. Hopkins further wanted Stalin to keep all the Polish territory he grabbed under the Nazi-Soviet Pact, when then-allies Hitler and Stalin invaded Poland in 1939. Hopkins also blocked aid to Polish anti-Nazi fighters and backed Stalin on every demand. ...” Etc.
Probably there are many compliant judges very willing to sign off give them a Judicial Clearance to monitor his communications.
Moronic....
Dude, the government had Fox News fire him while he was their #1 anchor, that just does happen on its own. After Fox fired Tucker Carlson, they lost a third of their audience, they had to know that was happening. That was forced on them. So now you're gonna think the feral feds would of tap his communications?
As I said, and you admitted, that’s an assumption. There’s no proof, which used to matter. With proof, things that are said have value, and can lead to actual change. Without proof, you sound like a whiner, no matter what side you’re supposedly on.
Ok DU larper
Resistance must be economic, peaceful and sustained.
The keys are no purchases (by Trump supporters) of:
1. new houses (which are built by invaders)
2. globalist stocks (or mutual funds that buy such stocks).
Don’t feed invaders or globalists insomuch as is practical.
Politically, we should fight for constitutional tax caps such as:
1. no more than one million US residents shall pay in excess of 30% of their income in federal income tax
2. no more than five million US residents shall pay in excess of 25% of their income in federal income tax
3. no more than ten million US residents shall pay in excess of 20% of their income in federal income tax
4. no more than twice the amount collected by the lowest level of state sales tax as of the penultimate year may be collected via property taxation in the state.
“State governments collected $341 billion (15 percent of state general revenue) from general sales taxes in 2020, while local governments collected $103 billion ...”
“State and local governments collected a combined $600 billion in revenue from property taxes, or 17 percent of general revenue, in 2020.”

Communism, it sucks.
Fixed that for you. Also don't forget that everthing is recorded and retained for future use against you.
NSA has been subverted to the domestic comint department of the democrat party. Should stick to charter for foreign Intel collection. Same for CIA.
But send your money to the Ukraine cause muh freedom!
Send more money if you want crooked elections in Ukraine.
We(our government) have no moral high ground anymore.
“State-of-the-art end-to-end encryption (powered by the open source Signal Protocol) keeps your conversations secure. We can’t read your messages or listen to your calls, and no one else can either.”
“The Signal Protocol (formerly known as the TextSecure Protocol) is a non-federated cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end encryption for voice and instant messaging conversations. The protocol was developed by Open Whisper Systems in 2013 and was first introduced in the open-source TextSecure app, which later became Signal. Several closed-source applications have implemented the protocol, such as WhatsApp, which is said to encrypt the conversations of “more than a billion people worldwide” or Google who provides end-to-end encryption by default to all RCS-based conversations between users of their Messages app for one-to-one conversations. Facebook Messenger also say they offer the protocol for optional Secret Conversations, as does Skype for its Private Conversations.”

Think of your cell phone as a hand-held federal government spy.
They probably know how many sheets of toilet paper he uses on each wipe. That can be used though (forgive the pun) by passing on what you want them to hear. It is not paranoia if they really are out to get you (check with Trump).
Tucker can interview anyone he wants to.
I would agree... They probably know how many time he goes to the John a day...
Haha yeah it’s BS isn’t it.
I wonder what the developers have to say about this.........
Or maybe not their fault.
Either way, it’s interesting how they can still make these claims!
Russia is a fascist country. Europe is communist light and so is the USA. Fascists and commies never get along.
