Tucker Carlson goes full Alinsky on McKinsey for outsourcing manufacturing to China
American Thinker ^ | 24, Apr, 2020 | Thomas Lifson

Tucker Carlson spent the first 15 minutes of his show last night decrying the loss of so much of our manufacturing base to China. That concern has spread from the already devastated Rust Belt to the coastal habitats of the elites, now that the pandemic has exposed our reliance for survival on an increasingly threatening China for pharmaceuticals, protective gear, and many other critical strategic goods, such as the rare earths necessary for the manufacture of advanced electronic components.

With the dangers of such dependence obvious to all, Tucker took an original angle and followed Saul Alinsky’s Rule # 13: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." His target: McKinsey & Company, the global consulting group that for has helped many a giant corporation outsource its manufacturing to lower wage countries, pre-eminently but not exclusively China, as a means of competing in world markets and in the domestic American market which for the most part has been wide open to foreign competition.

Dependence on an adversary is not a good thing. Those pushing it with China seem to favor the power that communism brings to a few. This seems to appeal to some and I have observed that is especially appeals to atheists.

Tucker has the zeal of a missionary and it comes from the realization that much of what he previously believed, politically, was wrong. Other Free Traitors will begin to catch up but it could very well be too late. It’s frustrating to those of us who shook our fist at NAFTA, etc, but better late than never.

Outsourcing is one thing, stripping a countries ability produce strategic goods goes way beyond shifting toy and cosmetics production.

Full Alinsky would be to run a scrawl with the email addresses, cell numbers and home addresses of McKinsey execs. But whatever.

Thank you, Tucker.

These outfits need to be named and shamed.

Um, yes, Tucker is being more than fair to the myopic and reprehensible Nazi sympathizers.

And no, that was far from full Alinksy. That was just pointing out to someone doing terrible things for money that they are doing terrible things for money.

This company has been around since 1926. They seem to sell info to anyone, but the sellout to China is stunning. Top management is China centric. Two top silicone valley CEO’s are alumni.

The McKinsey guy needs to ask himself if his actions can or can’t stand up to actual scrutiny. If they can’t, then he needs to ask himself if he really wants to go out like this. If this is the legacy he wants to have.

You are absolutely correct.

Tucker is pulling his punches.

Doxing every one of those executives would be a very good thing indeed.

But you may have given others who would do so, a very good idea.

I saw that interview. Tucker asked him how much money he had made doing business in China. He flat out ignored it and danced around it. What a fckn fraud he is.

I just know what Alinsky would actually do.

Some of us have read his book. It’s only been out there
for half a century.

I’m curious as to the definition of “nothing”?
Nothing political?
Nothing social?
Nothing financial?
What?

I felt so much better before bedtime last night after NOT listening to him or Hannity. I managed to stay away from the news all day - there was plenty of other stuff to aggravate me.

Tucker has a “preachy” side on his show.
It wouldn’t hurt to lighten up a bit...

Management consulting, the industry from which I come, is about generating fees. You make rain, or you are unemployed.

Without a nationalist variable, it makes business sense to reduce costs (i.e. thus the need for new world order).

The role of all managers is to maximize return on resources, whether a line supervisor or CEO.
