I am posting this for some honest feedback.
First off, I am not casting judgement against Tucker Carlson, I think he has been a valuable tool to our movement. However, I think it is important to know Carlson's background and the article below does an outstanding job highlighting many important details, many details I was unaware of, and it should make everyone pause and ask themselves some questions.
Secondly, this article comes from Mint Press News (MPN). Wiki lists MPN as a far leftist news website, however when you read further through the wiki page, MPN opposes the governments of Israel and supports Russia, they publish disinformation and antisemitic conspiracy theories. They don't sound far left to me at all and I wonder if they were labeled far left so that conservatives would disregard any news MPN published.
Wiki goes on to say: "In 2022, Robert Scheer reported that Google AdSense informed publishers, including Mint Press News, that, "Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war." According to Scheer, these restrictions included "any pieces that question the NATO narrative on Ukraine into the content it describes."
So MPN was demonetized because they condoned the war in Ukraine and questioned the NATO narrative? Does that sound far left to you? It sounds like my own thoughts. I get into more detail about the validity of MPN being a far leftist site in further comments below.

Getting back to the MPN article. It is a very interesting article, provides many links to back up its claims. It goes into extreme detail on Tucker and his father's involvement in regime change in Nicaragua, fake news propaganda pushing this regime change and protecting the CIA drug trafficking here in the USA. I implore you to read this and give me your honest opinion. I am not sure what to think about it, your input would be graciously appreciated.

Some claims I pulled form the article:
Tucker Carlson's fathers involvement in government as a "journalist and high state official who was appointed by Ronald Reagan as director of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), the body that oversees government-funded media, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio and TV Martí and Voice of America, of which Dick was also the director."
Tucker's father was running news sites pushing propaganda in Nicaragua trying to push for regime change.
We recently learned that Carlson's father perhaps worked for the CIA and Putin told us recently that Carlson himself applied for a CIA position and was denied. Tucker's father suggested he just get into journalism. This is covered in the article.
The article explains connections between the Carlson's and Bill Krystol, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, GHW Bush and Neo-con think tank Project for a New American Century.
The article goes on to say Carlson produced an article that ran cover for the CIA in effort to protect them when Gary Webb revealed that, "The CIA funded its dirty war against Nicaragua by helping the Contras to flood America’s Black urban centers with crack cocaine."
Here is a X post talking about it.

The article goes on to make the claim that Tucker is controlled opposition.
The author of this article, Alan MacLeod writes for and is a contributing analyst for a site called Fair.org
If you look at the titles of his many articles (link below), he does not appear to be a far leftist at all.

The article says he has also wrote stories for Salon but look at the stories titles below. Again, I didn't critique every article, just looking at the titles.
https://www.salon.com/writer/alan-macleod
I do admit some comments by the author does make it seem he has some leftist leanings when he speaks about capitalism and calling the "Great Replacement" a conspiracy theory. This article is 2 years old however.
Again, I am not harshing on Tucker, I am looking for feedback. If anyone can produce evidence the contradicts the claims made in this article I would love your input. Perhaps some of our members here have a better grasp of our political history during the time being discussed here.
I know people can change their ideologies over time, perhaps Tucker realized he was on the wrong side at some point and changed course, which I hope is the case.
Thanks for reading.

I will post a response I posted in another similar thread on this topic two weeks ago.
There is no doubt that Tucker's family is deeply tied to the control of information (C_A) and the banksters. There is no doubt that Tucker "tried" to get into the C_A. There is no doubt that immediately after they "rejected him" his father packs up the truck and they all moved to DC, where immediately after that Tucker had a meteoric rise in being a Voice in "news" while at the same time his father worked directly for the C_A with a top level position in one of their most important disinformation organizations (Voice of America).
All of those things are easy to show. Do I think Tucker was a part of the information control system? Absolutely. I have yet to find a single person who makes it even slightly big in news media who does not have a similar story. That doesn't mean that he isn't also (as of right now) working for We The People.
The only way that it is possible to take down an operation like the Cabal, that controls every single facet of our lives and beliefs, is from the inside.
The Q operation is full of insiders. Period. Any honest investigation into the people that we think are likely part of the Q team (Trump e.g.) suggests that they are (or were) Cabal insiders.
It is my sincerest hope they are working for We The People, and not as Controlled Opposition. I think it is the former, because it seems we are headed towards a true reveal of the fuckery, and towards an understanding of how we must guide our own future, and not be "subjects" to "good leaders."
I remain skeptical and on the lookout for fuckery, but I also remain hopeful. What I do not do is try to delusion myself into thinking that the people in charge are some sort of saints. You can't have saints running such an operation, unless by "saints" you mean undercover, turned, or otherwise controlled operatives, all of whom have had to get their hands dirty at some point.
There was Tucker then and there’s Tucker now. All of us have made mistakes in our youth, (I voted for Carter in my first election at 19), and have grown into something better with time. I judge him by the work he is doing now.
Boy is this comment of yours deep .. so deep most miss . You’re an upright man of integrity !
I know that bringing down Soviet Union was a key victory for the WHs around the world. They averted a sure end-game of a nuclear holocaust, giving us enough runway for the current plan to bee implemented.
Bring down USSR probably required doing nasty things like regime changes, and while it is easy for us to judge them sitting here, it would have been much harder had they failed to bring it down in time.
Regarding Tucker's role in Nicaragua, please watch the clip - its important to understand where he is coming from. He clearly says that he went there thinking it was easy to spot the good side from the bad, but once he went there he realised it was much more complex.
The good guys were not as good as he thought. To me that sounds like growth from experience. He also said "Knowing other people's affairs is very complicated". "Young people shouldnt get too involved in politics." - all very based takes of a person who has experienced it.
Regarding him defending Elliott Abrams from Ilhan Omar, she was bringing up stuff from 30 years ago to harass a Trump administration official and defending him in that role would not mean he somehow condones what happened 30 years ago, esp when he himself said things were different than what he had thought.
The more alarming thing is the article says Tucker has only good things to say about Oliver North. I cant find any clips of that. Would be interested in seeing the full context.
As for him being part of CIA? I have no doubt he was. He was definitely an insider, and is probably one of the folks who knows where some bodies are buried.
We certainly know that Putin mentioned Tucker's C_A aspirations for a reason..
I recently discovered the job my father had working within the Government. I had no idea until I did the research. Just because he was involved with things I would consider horrible, did not make me a person in agreement with his connections. Just saying!
