Neil Oliver’s Take on Tucker Carlson Firing


Posted originally on the CTH on April 26, 2023 | Sundance 

For his daily podcast and discussion segment, UK pundit Neil Oliver puts the firing of Tucker Carlson into a unique context of human behavior.  Tucker is taken down like a trophy in the psychology of those who weaponize power.  Additionally, Oliver hits on a few points that are very accurate – albeit with some who would disagree – about the need for control being a reaction to fear.

The decisionmakers in the Carlson issue removed his voice from a position of weakness, not strength.  The decisionmakers, namely the Ruper Murdoch team, fear Carlson.  Lastly, as Oliver accurately notes, history is a wheel – and during travel there are times in the orbit of the wheel when the component part is traveling backwards. WATCH:

.

As you listen to the outline, remember the position of Barack Obama’s former campaign manager, David Plouffe, “it is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”…  There is a ring of historical human brutality to it.

Biden 2024 – “Let’s Finish the Job” of Ruining America


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Apr 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The worst president in American history is running for re-election under the premise of taking away our remaining freedoms. The media is already stating that the Democrats will not allow any serious challengers. Marianne Williamson, who lost to Biden in 2020, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. both announced that they plan to run, but their own party will likely not back them or allow them to debate Biden. The Washington Post already announced Biden is “not expected to face any serious opposition from elected Democrats for the nomination, despite concerns from some in the party about his age and dissatisfaction among some liberals who say he has not pushed their priorities hard enough.”

Biden is not permitted to speak without a handler and carefully written notes. Journalists toss him easy questions and he still fumbles. Most importantly, the people do not want him to lead. Our way of life has drastically changed for the worse since he first stepped foot in the White House. NBC conducted a poll that found 70% of Americans do not want Biden to run for re-election. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that only 26% of Americans want Biden to remain in power.

Biden has a degenerative cognitive impairment that will only worsen. Already the oldest president in American history, Biden will be 86-years-old if he lives to the end of a second term. Biden was touted as the most popular president in US election history after receiving 81 million votes – let that number sink in as not many people today will openly say they voted for this man. At the time of this writing, Joe Biden’s YouTube channel has 700K subscribers and only 2.4K liked his re-election campaign announcement (they hid the dislike numbers after the Fauci debacle).

This will be one of the dirtiest elections in US history. Civil unrest will turn into division as the people are pitted against each other from every angle. No one will accept defeat, and the elites are fully backing Biden as their ideal puppet president. Gone are the days of fair elections. I must admit that no sitting president was ever ousted from office during a war, and our models indicate serious events unfolding right before the 2024 US Presidential Election. So buckle up because this next year is going to be a wild ride.

New FHFA Rule- Middle Class to Subsidize High-Risk Borrowers


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Apr 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Biden is ushering in new socialistic policies and there are no checks and balances. I mentioned a few weeks ago how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are changing Loan Level Price Adjustments (LLPAs) on conventional loans. To ensure “fairness,” the agencies are helping “underserved” home buyers by reducing costs for those with lower credit scores and less money for down payments. Borrowers with a credit score under 680 will be rewarded, while those who spent years maintaining a high level of creditworthiness will see higher rates. So those with good credit and savings will be subsidizing mortgages for others who are less financially responsible.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is using the race card and claiming this will help people of color secure loans. “In the short term, this may increase homeownership among the targeted group, but I’m afraid it could decrease homeownership among the middle class,” said Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders. “I’m not sure that we’re not robbing Peter to pay Paul here.” People of color can also have good credit and savings for a downpayment, and it is an insult to say otherwise. As of now, lenders are solely looking at the colorblind numbers and race is not a factor. This is merely a ploy to see how this administration can slowly replace our republic with socialism.

This is completely unconstitutional and it’s telling how this measure passed with little backlash. Do not trash your credit because the rules of this rigged game always change. There will be backlash once people see the additional fees that the Biden Administration calls “minimum.” An extra $40 per month on a $400K loan amounts to over $14,400 over the course of a 30-year mortgage. Moreover, already stressed banks will be forced to provide loans at a lower rate to people who should not qualify. The law goes into effect on May 1, right in time for the busy spring season. Biden is forcing people to redistribute their wealth, and we are not talking about real wealth. Those with real wealth are buying in cash right now. This directly hurts the middle class who believed that working hard could afford them the now imaginary American dream.

Tucker Carlson’s Exit Tanks Fox News


Armstrong Economics Blog/Censorship Re-Posted Apr 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Fox News fired their most popular reporter a day after the Dominion settlement. Within minutes, Fox lost $1 billion in market capitalization. Carlson claims that he amicably parted ways with Fox, but the timing is no coincidence. He tore into media agencies for forcing COVID vaccinations on employees during his last broadcast. When a popular host leaves a news network, there are promotions for weeks regarding their last show but his exit was sudden and unexpected.

CNN fired Don Lemon the same day, which made more sense since he was losing views and alienating his target audience with sexist remarks and alleged misconduct. Tucker Carlson Tonight was the highest-rated program on cable news. This was not a business decision.

This is the statement during his last broadcast that may have led to Carlson’s exit from Fox:

"Now, imagine as they told you that that Fox as a news organization endorsed it, amplified the government's message. Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone who refused to buy MyPillow as an ally of Russia as an enemy of science and then imagine that Fox kept up those libelous attacks, even as evidence mounted that MyPillow caused heart attacks, fertility problems and death. If Fox News did that, what would you think of Fox News? Would you trust us? Of course, you wouldn't. You would know that we were liars."

He then went on to say he was grateful Fox did not implement mandates. Still, it seems as if Carlson was being stifled from speaking. He continued questioning the voting scandal and has made numerous valid arguments against the 2020 US Presidential results. There are now calls to cancel Fox News across every social platform. It is a shame as this was the last large conservative news network but they are caving into the desires of their advertisers. More notable, they are caving to the Neocons who do not want a popular TV host calling them out by name in front of millions.

The same thing happened to Bill O’Reilly, who only became more popular upon his exit. Not only are people unsubscribing from Fox, but they are also unsubscribing from streaming services that they used to watch Tucker’s show. Horrible business decision on Fox’s part, but conservative voices have no place in Biden’s America.

Prior Tucker Carlson Unplugged Interview Provides Context for Current Dynamic


Posted originally on the CTH on April 25, 2023 | Sundance 

A lot of people are talking about this prior interview which provides some insight into the world of Tucker Carlson against the backdrop of current activity.  The content of the interview aligns with the perspective CTH previously shared {Go Deep}.

A little more than a month ago, Tucker appeared with the Nelk boys for their Full Send Podcast.  The part that is viral today starts at 01:20:50 of the video, toward the end of the interview when Tucker is discussing his evolution of opinion toward media, but the entire interview is interesting and very insightful.  If you have the time to watch the full interview it is worth the time.  If not, skip to the 01:20:50 part and catch the media perspective aspect.  WATCH:

The multinational media club are going full bore against Tucker Carlson right now, including the orchestrated efforts by all of Rupert Murdoch’s controlled outlets.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  The media need to control the narrative around Tucker Carlson is from that same context; they fear him.

Biden Officially Announces Reelection Effort, “Let’s Finish the Job” of Destroying American Dreams


Posted originally on the CTH on April 25, 2023 | Sundance 

Today, 24 hours after Susan Rice ran quickly from the White house, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris officially announced their intention to seek reelection.

The slogan for the campaign is “Let’s Finish the Job,” oddly admitting the collapse of the American middle-class is the goal for 2024.  Everything Biden touches ends up making a total mess for the American people. Then again, this is by design.  Every policy from his administration delivers on the goal of destruction and fundamental change.

The production team behind the false premise that Biden represents, produced a video [SEE HERE] to celebrate the occasion.  However, the rebel alliance produced a more brutally honest video to mark this date in opposition {Direct Rumble Link}. WATCH:

It ain’t Joe

My Response to Murdoch, his Son and their Company Fox News will be, after this week I will not have anything to do with any Fox channels ever again. This will be a Total Boycott By me of anything Owned by Murdoch!


The Murdoch family has now joined the Woke world and be doing so abandoned the American people. Those that have joined the Woke agenda are for all participial purposes Anti-American and they are in the process of eliminating the U.S.Constitution and the Republic. We the people did not ask for nor authorize this change.

I would suggest that anyone that can see what they have done join me in this boycott. The Murdoch’s need to pay a price for what they are doing.

Robert Murdoch and his Son Lachlan have Destroyed The Fox Organization by Showing their True Colors when they Fired Tucker Carson — Their Number One Money Generator:


Fox now has a history of getting rid of or disciplining their money makes some of them are listed next:

Glen Beck in 2011 Removed

Roger Ailes in 2016 Removed

Bill O’Reilly in 2017 terminated

Jeanine Pirro disciplined in December 2020 with time off

Dan Bongino ion April 21, 2023 Removed

Tucker Carlson on April 24, 2023 removed

All of these people were generation money for Murdoch but Tucker was the Star Murdoch has taken a dangerous step with terminating Tuck that he and his company may not survive. If the published number are correct I would guess the financial hit will be well over a Billion dollars in second quarter will reduced add money and reduced viewers the present value of the next will ad another billion to the companies income. The question then is can the company survive what they did by getting ride of Tucker?

There is also a secondary effect here as it takes Fox News away from supporting Trump and that means Trump has been isolated from the Main US media channels. An alternative needs to be developed and quickly.

Thoughts on Tucker Carlson’s Firing


Posted originally on the CTH on April 24, 2023 | Sundance 

This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up….  Context and some details matter.

First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch.  He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount.  Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement.  They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired.

(Via WSJ) – Mr. Carlson, whose contract was renewed in 2021, will be paid out for the rest of his contract, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Carlson is paid about $20 million a year, one of the people said. Mr. Carlson found out he was being let go about 10 minutes before the network announced his departure, the people said. (link)

For financial context, remember Rupert Murdoch paid Megyn Kelly $15 million (Via Harper Collins) for the 2015/2016 operation against Donald Trump.  Paying $60 to $100 million to get rid of Carlson’s antagonistic voice is small money to Murdoch Inc. in the grand scheme of things. [Murdoch has also paid for Ron DeSantis to oppose Trump]

Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture.  Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints.  Keep all of that in mind.

Prior to 2021, Tucker Carlson was what you might call a Fox News loyalist.  He was very loyal to the organization.  During the COVID-19 era, Tucker Carlson moved his physical location away from Washington DC to his home in Maine.  Fox built him a studio, and Carlson manifest his own destiny free from most production constraints.

Over the past 18+/- months, viewers have watched Tucker Carlson essentially red pill himself each evening.  As he enjoyed the proximity freedom far away from the Eye of Sauron (DC’s control mechanism), Carlson’s eyes opened further to the reality of the situation that blankets our national consciousness.

Disconnected from the machine, free-range in his abilities, and with the intellectual curiosity of the average person, Tucker Carlson started to see the U.S. system as it is, not as media pretend it to be.  This is the increasing red pill absorption you have noted daily.  Along with that came a more pragmatic and brutally honest production quality to the content he shared.

Carlson’s influence grew as the audience grew; the more truth he spoke, the larger the audience.  That free-range influence became a liability to the system operators that hold power, including Rupert Murdoch who is a part of that control system.  In essence, and in the big picture, that’s what led to this event today.

Timing and Fox Digital.  Fox had just settled a lawsuit with Dominion Systems that has been widely reported.  The decision to fire Carlson had only one aspect connected to the Dominion settlement, financial timing.

Fox Corp is going to take a big hit in second quarter (Q2) earnings as part of the Dominion settlement.  If you are going to take a big financial hit, it’s better to go ahead and clear the decks of all financial hits at the same time.

Paying out Carlson simply gets all the big hits in the same quarter.

Digital is where the action is.  Digital subscriber services is where the future of all content is focused.   Understanding this reality gives you a scale of the darkness in the opposition elements facing our nation.  Fox News digital is Fox Nation.  Tucker Carlson and the show Tucker Carlson Today was the anchor of Fox Nation digital.

Fox Nation was struggling prior to Tucker Carlson’s long show broadcasts.  The entire Fox Corp digital streaming service, Fox Nation, was anchored around the Tucker Carlson Today digital streaming service.   Fox News has just torpedoed their anchor, shot their lead dog, destroyed the digital brand.  That gives you some scale and scope to how the elements viewed the threat of influence that Tucker Carlson had become.

Fox Corp, and Murdoch’s stenographers at the Wall Street Journal (SEE HERE), will try to frame the Carlson firing as something of a palate cleansing.  Claims of adversarial viewpoints, controversial views and conflicts with other Fox loyalists on the inside, will be used to frame the narrative.   However, all of those false frameworks are just that, false.  The source of the issue that led to the firing was 100% ideological.

During Tucker’s red pill absorption phase, he changed views on a variety of subjects from the FBI to the Fourth Branch of Government, to vaccination and COVID-19, to his views on Donald Trump as a disruption to an increasingly admitted corrupt political machine.

Context in the Tucker worldview expanded and he began to frame the conflict in a big picture of Good -vs- Evil.  Unfortunately for Carlson, this view was from inside a multinational corporate system spreading the darkness.   He had to be removed.

This is the reality of the situation as it unfolded.   Accept it or not, it matters not.  This is the Carlson reality.

Carlson was connecting the dots of manipulation beyond media, beyond social battles and constructs, and into the realm of finance, economics and ultimately behind the Potemkin Village of UniParty politics.  Blackrock has an increased stake in Fox Corp.

Talking about what happens behind the false front of the DC village is always a threat.   It is in the research and acceptance of the darkest pretending constructs that you realize how the illusions of choice are presented.

Tucker Carlson was no longer selling the illusions.

There are trillions at stake.

He was removed.

Tucker is free.

Welcome to the rebellion my friend!

“They” Explained


Armstrong Economics Blog/Basic Concepts Re-Posted Apr 25, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

People often ask who I am referencing when I refer to “they.” THEY are the leaders of the pack; the neocons. They are the people who create endless wars and use the people as their toy soldiers for war games—we are the toys.

None of these wars affected our way of life and we had no need to be involved in Ukraine, Vietnam, Afghanistan, you name it. But they will create false flags to bring us into wars. It may be a conspiracy but it is not a theory. They conspire to create these wars and use fake news. There were the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that never existed. The sinking of the Lusitania that propelled us into World War I was intentional. Former President Johnson admitted that Vietnam never attacked us, and leading neocon Robert McNamara admitted before his death that America was wrong for condemning Communist nations. But he died with the guilt of sacrificing 58,000 American lives on the neocon altar of war.

The neocons have a theory that a regime change will save the day. They demonize the head of state and convince themselves that people will cheer once that individual man is overthrown. Saddam, Gaddafi, the list goes on. They think they can overthrow these leaders and simply install a democracy. The problem is that we do not have a democracy; we have a republic. We cannot vote on whether we go to war or if we want to die for the neocons.

They are the aggressors and the ones who created the current conflict. They are on both sides of the political aisle and are installed in positions of power throughout the world. They create division internally to promote civil unrest so that they can elect the person of their choice who will claim to solve the problems they created. They want to create digital currencies to control everything we do while plundering what they allow us to have. They are pushing society as a whole to a breaking point, and unfortunately, their next war game will not end well.
