Did Murdoch Shut Tucker Down? Rumblings that Tucker Changed His Show Plan After Threats and Pressure from Regime
Last Thursday night Tucker Carlson told his audience he will release information this week on his team’s analysis of the 42,000 hours of video footage from January 6, 2021 protests.
Tucker’s Monday show was explosive – Tucker Carlson immediately exposed how many of the narratives propagated by the January 6 commission were vicious lies.
Among these lies were Brian Sicknick being murdered by protesters, (Tucker showed he was unharmed), Jacob Chansley aka “The Qanon Shaman” committing sedition (he marched peacefully throughout the Capitol), and Ray Epps being a patriotic whistleblower (he perjured himself before the committee.
Then the US Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell jumped into action. They cannot allow their narratives to be disrupted. Schumer went to the Senate floor and threatened Tucker Carlson and FOX News for daring to show video evidence from that day.
Mitch McConnell sided with Schumer and against the American people.
Tuesday night’s show was tampered down. Tucker Carlson did not release any explosive video. His interview with a Capitol Hill police officer was interesting but subdued. There were no big “reveals” on the show last night.
Now there are suggestions that Rupert Murdoch and the FOX News brass got to Tucker and changed his show plan. — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “Why not give the videos to someone like Elon Musk? Or better yet, skip the middle man and release all of the footage immediately for the internet sleuths to do what they do best.
All of these claims that it would be a security risk are bogus. It's a public building where countless photos and videos have been taken through the years. And that old greasy vampire Rupert Murdoch. Is anyone truly surprised? This is the same walking carcass who claimed that Trump was losing his mind after the 2020 election and publicly chastised his employees for doing their jobs and reporting on election fraud.
Murdoch and the other media moguls belong to a different class of people than you and I; they see party affiliation and political philosophies as markets to be cornered and could give a flying fart about the good fight.” — Ryan DeLarme
Fauci's Lies Exposed... Jim Jordan Goes Ballistic Over Scientists' Lab-Leak Flip-Flop
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was on fire Wednesday during the first COVID select subcommittee investigating the origins of Covid-19, where former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said he was "sidelined" from internal debates over the origins of the virus, and that former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci didn't appreciate Redfield's support for the theory that it emerged from a lab.
[…]
Jordan then focused the conversation to two top Fauci advisers - Dr. Kristian Andersen and Dr. Robert Garry - who suddenly changed their stance on lab leak theory. The two notably emailed Fauci on Jan. 31, 2020 where they suggested that anomalies in the virus pointed to a non-natural origin. According to Anderson, the virus had "unusual features" that "(potentially) look engineered," and that other scientists "all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory."
Jordan went on a tear... — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “The malfeasance of the biomedical industrial complex is truly mind boggling. The degree to which lies, corruption, and manipulation occur at the top of the this system is staggering. Jim Jordan's relentless assault in exposing the fraud is commendable.
The hippocratic oath, one would think, would preclude medical professionals from engaging in what effectively amounts to a bribe when it comes to biomedical virology research. But no such luck. As Jordan spoke to at the end of the above clip, there were $9,000,000 reasons to side with Fauci. And Fauci, who has long been a bridge troll for the biotech industry knew exactly what he was doing when he pushed the Lab Leak cover up, effectively pushing pay-for-play medical research schemes on subordinate professionals.
How many honest researchers, doctors, and citizens had their reputations ruined for daring to question "the science"—aka Lord Emperor Fauci? This, sadly, is a mere drop in an ocean of corruption. The deep dark abyss that is the truth about the medical system will hopefully be exposed one day. But it will likely take years, decades even, for the false dogma to work its way out.
To accelerate the process, we all would do well to ask simple yet powerful questions, such as: How do we know XYZ medical facts are true? How valid is the evidence to support these medical facts? Are scientific and medical institutions engaging in sound scientific and epistemological principles?
If these questions produce answers like: we just need to trust the experts, they know best, then I can tell you whatever fact hides behind expert opinion without evidentiary support is almost assuredly a distortion of the real truth, if not made of whole cloth—a complete lie.” — Justin Deschamps
Nine boxes of Biden documents were taken from Boston office
'Nine boxes of documents were taken from President Biden's attorney Patrick Moore's Boston office, but have yet to be reviewed, the National Archives disclosed in a response letter to Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, this week first obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Archives had not previously publicly disclosed the number of boxes taken from Boston. It had been reported that Moore had shipped boxes of documents from the Penn Biden Center to his Boston office before discovering the initial trove of classified documents at the Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
In response to questions by Johnson and Grassley in a Feb. 24 letter asking how and when the archives learned that records were transported to Boston, Acting Archivist of the United States Debra Steidel Wall responded the agency learned about it on Nov. 3, 2022.
"When NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] contacted President Biden’s personal counsel on November 3, 2022, to arrange to pick up boxes from the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., they informed NARA that Mr. Moore had moved other boxes from the Penn Biden Center to Mr. Moore’s law firm in Boston," the letter states.
In addition, the archives notified the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General on Nov. 4 that the documents had been moved. The documents were then picked up on Nov. 9 and were secured in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
"NARA staff retrieved nine boxes from Mr. Moore’s Boston office," Wall continued, which had not been previously known.' — FOX News
Our Take: “First, major kudos to Senators Grassley and Johnson, who have been diligently building a stack of letters and documents evidencing the crimes of the Bidens. It's impressive what they have been about to accomplish.
Have you noticed how the Biden Classified Docs Scandal keeps expanding, keeps getting bigger and deeper and broader? At first it was just a few misplaced pieces of paper in a closet. Then it was a few more in a garage. Then there was a search of a beach home, then University of Delaware. Now we know that it isn't just a few pages, it's BOXES full of documents and hand written notes dating from Biden's time as Vice President all the way back to his days as a Senator.
The media barely talks about this story, of course, but make no mistake about it, this is a monster scandal that is brewing. The Biden Crime Family, Joe, James, and Hunter are under investigation by US Atty Weiss AND Special Counsel Hur. Oh, and DoJ Inspector General is involved somehow, as he is getting notified of the developments as they happen.
'Dasting, that.” — Just Human
Biological Male wins the "International Women of Courage award
Our Take: “Lol.
But seriously, the woke agenda is continually getting more ridiculous and egregious. The reality is a large majority of Americans do not agree with this, and that is why stories like this are good. The more ridiculous the story, the greater chance it has at waking up more people.” — Jon Herold
Minnesota Wild players ditch Pride jerseys for team’s annual event in support of LGBTQ community
Minnesota Wild players chose not to wear a rainbow-themed jersey during warm-up for the team’s second annual Pride Night on Tuesday, despite a previous announcement by the team.
The Wild played against the Calgary Flames in an event designed to highlight the LGBTQ community “with many in-game elements [that would] incorporate the Pride theme.”
A special Pride Night ticket package — which included a Minnesota Wild Pride Night t-shirt, a pregame on-ice photo, and a pregame gathering — was available to fans, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Twin Cities Pride, a local nonprofit that works to “empower every LGBTQ+ person to live as their true self.” — Yahoo News
Our Take: “This is becoming a trend in the NHL, with more and more players and teams refusing to wear the “pride” jerseys. Maybe attempting to push this agenda on a sport consisting of mostly Caucasian Christians was a poor idea?
I personally suspect we will see more and more of this as we move forward. We must ask—How would these people feel if there were a forced “Christian Pride Night” in which athletes were made to wear jerseys with crosses and say a prayer? Something tells me that wouldn’t fly, and something tells me America is nearing the “fed up” point with the LGBTQ agenda.” — AbsoluteTruth1776
Military Could Have Stopped Afghanistan Bomber Who Killed 13 Americans, Service Member Testifies
U.S. military snipers stationed at the Afghanistan airport in 2021 prior to a deadly terror attack that killed 13 Americans had an opportunity to kill the suspected bomber but were not given authority from military leaders, according to one of the American service members on the ground that day.
Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps who was dispatched to Kabul during the Biden administration's bungled evacuation, on Wednesday told lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee that his sniper team was stopped from taking out the suspected terrorist bomber. Vargas-Andrews also recounted how the Biden State Department turned Afghans away from the airport, "condemning them to death" at the Taliban's hands. The Aug. 26 bombing left 13 U.S. military members dead and Vargas-Andrews severely wounded.
Vargas-Andrews's sniper team was provided with detailed information about the suspected bomber, including what he looked like. "I asked the intel guys why he wasn't apprehended sooner since we had a full description," the military veteran testified before the Foreign Affairs Committee during its first public hearing on the bungled withdrawal operation. "I was told the asset could not be compromised." — Free Beacon
Our Take: “Another example of Joe Biden's stunning incompetence was revealed today, and the price tag on that incompetence was the lives of 13 American soldiers.
Trump keeps telling us that "Because of Joe Biden's incompetence, we are on the brink of World War 3." That narrative is not going away, and stories like this one further delegitimize Biden and his entire fraudulently-elected administration.” — Jon Herold

In reply to “The malfeasance of the biomedical industrial complex is truly mind boggling. The degree to which lies, corruption, and manipulation occur at the top of the this system is staggering."
This has been a long time coming. I wonder how many involved have no idea the consequences of their actions. I am a botanist. In the 1970's I was involved in a short-term appointment to the Smithsonian Institution's "Endangered Species Project" (a whole other story of government waste of time, resources, etc.). The man chosen to head it up was on vacation, having retired from the US Dept. of Agriculture where he was a bug specialist (very different from plants and it soon showed). Anyway, there were other projects in that office and another was one to identify natural areas which should be "saved" being led by 2 women.
One had a MA in Forestry from Yale, which was considered one of the best in that field. She and her accomplice were always trying to get me to turn over my species distribution data to them. I observed that they were practicing "the end justifies the means" and playing fast and loose with facts. One day, I confronted the Yale girl and told her: "If you fudge your data or fib, when the general public catches on.....and they will....academia will be forever trying to get its reputation back."
Here we are and I rest my case.
Drip, drip, flood is apparently beginning to accelerate and approach center stage as the truths are dragged into the light. As more around the globe awaken, we are seeing a direct correlation to the rise in panicked talking heads everywhere. Meantime the lies are being peeled off every SINGLE day! What a time to be living in! God bless each person who is working hard in this ancient war between good and evil! Thank you to all here on Badlands for your dedication to truth.
