From today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
The hyper-meddling US Ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, has blasted the Hungarian government’s call for negotiations and a ceasefire in Ukraine, calling it “cynical.” Washington has all but declared war on Hungary for not jumping on board for the war. Also today: Without Tucker… Fox tanks!
Reprinted from The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity.
Calling for a cease-fire is cynical, but blocking a peace agreement to stop the war isn’t? The U.S. is the worst, nothing else to say here.
Blocking a peace agreement to stop the war we helped start in order to control Europe’s energy market, causing immense economic damage to countries like Hungary, who we then insist is being bad for complaining about our actions…
He must be criticizing the depth of their cynicism, essentially calling them amateurs. Barely raising to the level of monstrously, world endangeringly evil! Chumps!
You say those as if they’re bad things. :)
I agree with Daniel McAdams & Ron Paul about the war in Ukraine but disagree with them on religion. We do not need religion to be moral. People like Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell & many other preachers are very immoral.
If Fox News’ ratings dropped for firing Tucker Carlson, would they ask him to go back? I agree with him on opposing the war in Ukraine but disagree with him on most issues. He is very obnoxious.
You have to remember that Tucker represents the far right, so, anything left of far right is enemy territory and he will design statements in opposition. As the winds move, so does Tucker.
Is he anti-war?
Is being anti-war a far right position?
I’m pretty sure he’s out because his opinions on Ukraine were closer to ours here than Fox’s, so all of this makes me like him more, not less.
Is voting for the “right” going to prevent more escalation? I’m pretty progressive, but I’m also a single issue voters whenever nuclear conflict is on the ballot.
Thinking conservatives or progressives are one or the other on different issues, that has been my experience over time.
Trump broke the brains of people who had been leftists and/or progressives, and now those kinds of labels are meaningless. The woke/PC crowd has supplanted real leftists and progressives (this was purposely done by corporate America to take people’s minds off the real issues), and Republicans are the only ones in Congress raising any questions or opposition to this U.S. proxy war (albeit a minority of Republicans, the establishments of both parties are pretty much identical).
You know how modern progressivism is in the middle of being discredited by warmongering and greedy assholes who hate actual progressivism, and so have pretended some progressive ideology very loudly, while continuing to wage aggressive war and corporate power?
That happened in the US to religion too. I’m an atheist, but the parallels are striking. The powerful and self serving have been co-opting good and humane movements since the pharasees.
The U.S. has long been a very religious fanatic country. My friends visiting here from Europe once asked what was up with all the churches here, and that’s in the San Francisco Bay area, where we have fewer churches per square mile than elsewhere in the U.S. Religious fanatics who were driven out of Europe came here, and they’re unfortunately one of the main founding groups of this country.
We need spirituality, not religion. Despite what most people think, these are often opposites.
Peace and the environment are objectively the two biggest and most important issues. Carlson’s opposition to wars on FOX was brave and went against what his bosses and probably most of his viewers wanted. Carlson was the only one on TV raising any issues about U.S. wars of empire, and I applaud him for that. Same for his support of Julian Assange (after Jimmy Dore changed his mind) and free speech in general. I’ve never watched him, so I’ll take people’s word for the claim that he’s bad on other issues, but on war and free speech he was so much better than anyone else on TV that it’s really bad that he’s gone.
Another thing is that he allowed his mind to be changed about Julian Assange and wars after learning the facts. That’s another quality of his that’s very laudable, and I wish that others on TV would do the same. (The others know they’re lying, so of course they won’t change their minds on issues.)
Katelin Johnson on Tucker Carlson:
“What does it look like when someone criticizes nuclear brinkmanship with Russia, for example, and then starts babbling about woke M&Ms and saying the commies are trying to make your son wear a dress? It makes it all look bogus.”
I still like the anti-war talk from Carlson, but we really need a full throated one trick pony when it comes to stopping the madness.
“We do not need religion”
Period. Exclamation point!
