The other day at my conversation group I presented the topic of "Censorship". It was pretty fun, but one guy got steadily angrier and angrier. He basically played the role of Establishment Apologist. Pretty funny actually. It was bizarre because it was as if he took any and all criticism of the empire personally. He's usually a nice guy too. Oh well, I'll chalk it off to yet another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, it was surreal listening to Tucker for the last couple years. He kept getting better and better right up to the end. I can only hope that this incident will get lots of people thinking about free speech, corporate media and the like. Brilliant as usual Michael. Thanks!

My belief that Carlson was fired by the Murdochs primarily over his opposition too, and skewering of, the dangerous Ukraine war is turning out to be true.

Per the Independent article linked below, “Rupert Murdoch had become tired of Mr Carlson’s antics and was `disturbed’ by his stance on Ukraine.”
