Tucker Carlson claims Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel to blackmail US officials

Cointelpoints said there is no evidence that Ghislaine's victims were groomed for anybody other than Epstein himself. 😤

That's....how it always works with sex trafficking?
- No, sometimes Epstein isn't involved.

This touches on something I’ve been thinking about with regards to the ongoing schism happening in the American right between the pro and anti-Israel factions.

I think that as support for the Zionist project among the American public collapses, people like Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes are positioning themselves to be central figures of the right when the Trump train inevitably implodes and the American empire decides that blind support for Israel is no longer of the upmost importance. Obviously I’m just speculating about the future but I can easily imagine that as immiseration within America continues, biosphere collapse hastens, and the cost of running empire abroad becomes too high, these kinds of truly anti-Semitic voices are going to be much more mainstream. Fascism is colonization turned inward etc. etc.

Agreed. Outright jew hatred is gonna have a huge resurgence once Israel stops being useful to the empire.
- that is already happening and
  that is also already happening. Or rather it has already happened and the capitalist class is waking up to that and need scapegoats.
Is Tucker Carlson an anti-Semite? I don't follow him, but I don't think I've ever heard any antisemitism from him. Fuentes for sure is an anti-semite, but Tucker seems like a paleo conservative. I just don't like the anti-semitism being thrown around at any criticism of Israel.
- Everyone on the right is anti semitic so yes
- to your last point i really don’t think that’s been a problem on hexbear. to your question, yes, it’s not as nakedly obvious as fuentes with his neo hitlerjugend shit but tucker is very much a part of the no jews in the country club wing.
- Carlson is a white nationalist, of course he's an anti-semite.
Makes sense.

Congrats Israel on being so evil that you’ve somehow given disgusting nativist racists the moral high ground

just my own speculation analysis, but i think the imperial project cannot separate itself from the entity. while individual characters might try to capitalize on the decoupling of popular support and institutional power--to position themselves for what might come after--i think there will be no steps back from full, constant support for the entity until something much larger buckles: rumors of troop non compliance, entire commands slow rolling compliance with orders for war while the US dollar implodes, large cities engage in rolling work stoppages, federal and state guard commands contested, and US import + forex markets seize. basically, stories bubbling up threatening existential failure of the core.

i think whatever committees of hands are on the throttle regard the failure of the entity as an inflection point for the successful maintenance of all US occupation and proxy conflicts, as well as the primary geography of overlap between the US's and the EU's 21st century neocolonial aspirations.

not to mention, i think there is something to the omnidirectional interpretation of the Samson Option threats, which would probably plunge the west into even more chaos than the sudden implosion of the currently-redlining US/EU capital and credit markets now keeping the entity's government and it's parallel VC feedback loops into the US afloat with emergency loans.

again this is purely speculation, but in my lifetime i haven't seen the US act as rapidly, consistently and decisively across all institutions about any of the proxy conflicts, both at home and abroad, as it has about the entity. the anti-boycott laws, the violent suppression of campus protests and summary blacklisting, the complete lack of any basic, even aesthetic-only oppositional narrative anywhere within allowed discourse or among any institutions. this one isn't even allowed to be a symbolic campaign issue for the psuedo opposition party the way iraq or the GWOT were.

it all says to me that it's the endgame. the chips are all pushed in and we are now locked into finding out if the power structure has got the hand to back up the bet.... because it sure as shit looks like the global community heard the west's voice crack and is slowly calling a bluff.

I've read several times now from several thinkers the notion that the Samson option is not just firing nukes at Europe and Arab neighbors plus Iran but actually because of the zionist dominance and intertwining with high tech that they have hidden code, bombs to activate on command which will cause the collapse of modern infrastructure. They'll take down power systems, medical devices will stop functioning or malfunction, mapping will fail, just all kinds of chaos from them using their positions intertwined with Microsoft, Google, and a ton of other tech companies with zionist intelligence officers that they will bring down the modern world if the west allows them to fall.
This would be powerful incentive for the western leaders to not move away from the zionists. To do so would require acknowledging this penetration and weakness on a scale far larger than anything they've even accused China of and a decade of work methodically searching for and removing it after kicking all the zionist intelligence collaborators (really any zionist occupation company) out of these positions and praying doing so and obviously searching for and trying to disarm this doesn't make them set it off.
- I refuse to believe other states would let that happen at any meaningful scale. That sounds really goofy especially in comparison to just using the nukes.
because it sure as shit looks like the global community heard the west's voice crack and is slowly calling a bluff.
Well said

Considering who Ghislaine Maxwell's father was, it really is no surprise.

She also told Maria Farmer that Mossad had killed him, which is interesting.
- They're pretty famous for not giving a shit about the lives of their own citizens and soldiers, their intelligence agency having an asset killed would be classified as a slow Tuesday.

Tucker Carlson is the smartest operator on the right.

Genuinely, I recently saw him saw him saying he doesn’t care of people consider him a socialist. He’s kind of ready to coopt whatever populist messaging he needs to to stay relevant

Ari Ben-Menashe has been saying this for years: https://www.mintpressnews.com/ari-ben-menashe-israel-relationship-jeffrey-epstein/263465/

The sad thing is he's recycling these facts for his own rightist agenda and no one else is there to put it in the right framework, other than maybe Trueanon

That's always been his MO. He leans into the culture war shit for the bulk, but sprinkles in a lot of good old strasserite opportunism. Since his audience doesn't hear any of the corporate media address this and other stuff (cost of living crisis, for example) he gets more leeway to make shit up.

why does it feel like he's only saying this to poison the well / muddy the water

Because he knows nothing is going to come out of this probably, might as well stir up some engagement until the public moves onto news of the next war or mass shooting.
- Indeed. Indeed
He's not. He's being consistent in trying to be "america first"

Optimistically: Tucker Carlson coming off as based so much recently is a sign that leftist influence is growing and can no longer just be ignored.

Pessimistically: I'm not sure we have the movements/organized reach to counter this sort of co-option of leftist aesthetics. We struggle enough against outright neoliberalism/cult of personality politics.

Pessimistically
hitler did the same thing at a similar time of increased leftist popularity so, I'm not getting excited about this

is the idea, "someone's going to be saying this stuff, so let's make that person tucker carlson, whom we can control"?

or maybe it's the other way around, tucker knows he's useful or influential enough to get away with it?

There’s no other entity that controls both the republicans and the democrats leadership that has enough power to block the release of the Epstein files other than Israel government and AIPAC…. Kind of makes sense…

(Not a fan of Cucker Tarlson at all.) Edit: but he’s not stupid

I think you're leaving out the international bourgeoisie from that estimation.
- In such a dynamic way? What do you mean by that phrase?

He stirring the pot jist for shits and giggles.

Now he's just havin a laff

no doy

Though I may not agree with tucker carlson and Candace owens, you have to hand it to them for being independent and having enough brain cells to question Israel and what they're doing

Again, this is all a power play by them. When Trump collapses, they're the only ones that will be able to seek power. The rest of the Republican party is comprised of spinless Trump yes men. Meaning Trump failing collapses their whole thing.
Carlson and Owens are positioning themselves as the next party leaders
You absolutely do not have to hand it to them. Theyre independent enough to recognize an opportunity to amass power, thats it.
