Tucker goes there — predicts a hot war with Russia (and maybe China) leading to wartime crushing of political dissent
American Thinker ^ | 16 Mar, 2023 | Thomas Lifson

Love him or hate him, Tucker Carlson has become the most important political analyst of our era. The release to him of suppressed J6 Capitol footage that contradicted the Democrat/media narrative dominated political news until Carlson's questionnaire on Ukraine policy to the potential GOP presidential field knocked it out of the headlines. Not since Woodward and Bernstein dominated the news with Watergate has a media source produced results that focused the national spotlight so completely as Mr. Tucker Carlson. Unsurprisingly, many are the progressives who want to see him knocked off the air.

Last night, he began his top-rated hour-long program with the following startling statement: "You're going to get a hot war with Russia — and China — whether you want one or not."

He followed with analysis of the Black Sea drone incident and the calls for retaliation and escalation from Lindsey Graham and "his friends in the war party" that would likely lead to outright war. And wartime, he noted at the end of the segment, leads to extraordinary suppression of political dissent.

[T]he second we actually go to war with Russia, they will use that as a pretext to crush all dissent. Dissent is not allowed in wartime. And that's what this is really about (in addition to their personal enrichment). It's about changing the domestic politics of the United States. The second we can all say that we are at war with Russia, not 'in effect' but in reality in a hot war which is what they want, that's the moment you are no longer allowed to express your opinion. And the penalty is jail during war.

He linked the timing of the incident to the war skepticism over Ukraine voiced by many of the GOP respondents to his presidential field questionnaire. He also claimed...

“Personally, I think the videos should have been uploaded to a server and made available to the entire world without any alteration or censoring.”

I agree with that.

I always thought that the master plan was to start a world war and then proceed to lose the war and surrender to China.

"Supposedly, McCarthy is to give more wide spread access to the videos in the near future."

I was under the impression that McCarthy released only a certain amount of the tapes to Carson. I was wondering if he'd done that because he knew Fox News execs would put the kibosh on Tucker's reporting. I don't know who it was who said it the other day...could have been Paul Gosar, but one Republican Congressman said that McCarthy should resign if the Jan. 6th tapes aren't released in their entirety ASAP. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been pretty quiet about her boyfriend's failure to release all the tapes. He's doing it piece meal, which is pure BS.

That’s quite possibly true. I don’t watch a lot of FoxNews. I don’t have cable. But I catch it here and there while being out and about, plus I stream Tucker and Gutfeld occasionally and especially when something big comes up. I can tell you there is a big difference between what Tucker shows and talks about compared to other FoxNews hosts. I get the feeling Tucker pushes the limit of what management allows, although he says there are no restrictions.

They have all had hard times in the World Wars. I would think they would want no part in another, but most who remember are gone now.

They’re going to cancel the 2024 elections

No, that’s not going to happen. There’s no mechanism to make that happen.

Why would they have to cancel the election when they can just manufacture the results they want?

Dissent is not allowed in wartime.

Unless you were a long-haired, stinky anti-social war protestor during the Vietnam war. . . or your name was Hanoi Jane or John Kerry. If they start arresting folks for speaking their mind, they will likely have a two-front war on their hands . . . one at home. Biden and his deep state cabal are not worthy to be called "Americans".

“I think you mean confusing the US for the USSR.”

No, I most certainly mean Russia. Political dissent during wartime is still illegal in today’s Russia. Many people are currently in jail for it at the moment.

Yep, you're confusing the US for the USSR, and America for Amerika.

The last time political dissent was properly allowed without government interference in the US was for a while after WWI.

Thanks for overlooking the January 6th Political Prisoners in the American Gulag Prison, and their Malicious Prosecutions and Investigations along with the same Malicious Prosecutions and Investigations on President Trump.

I don’t think anyone in the government will survive long enough to be “anointed” anything.

We’ll be lucky if Humanity survives in the end. Cobalt 60 has the ability to sterilize the entire planet. No go for up to 100 years, and if enough is spread, everything is dead.

> a simple majority vote by this warmongering congress will give them enough American boys for all their wars.

And it definitely will be *boys*. Expect that one popular way to dodge the new draft will be by “identifying” as a woman. It’s a twofer. They get their national state of emergency AND they get to disproportionately kill off the toxic males who might oppose them.

"I think Tucker’s confusing the US for Russia."

After the censorship, social media bans, doxxing, and harassment that went on during the scamdemic, and is still going on, much of it coordinated by the government, you actually believe what you said? What would make war any different? Our government censored a lot during WWII.

Tucker is “rage farming” and turning the volume to 11. Gaslighting 101, basically. At this rate he’s going to light off some nutjob FNC viewer and get people killed.

Whether it is this pretense or another, the Left seeks to push conservatives to the brink, so that after the first shot is fired, they will have an excuse to come after the guns.

When they find less than 20% compliance, they will find themselves in deep trouble.

"No, I most certainly mean Russia. Political dissent during wartime is still illegal in today’s Russia. Many people are currently in jail for it at the moment."

And how many people are in jail and prison, many still awaiting trial because they happened to go to Washington, D.C. on January 6th, which wasn't part of any official war? You seem to have blinders on when it comes the shit that has been going on in this country for years.

We fight Russia and China invades via amphibious modified cargo ships on West coast. Either way my kids will not be fighting Bidens war
