The crime of talking to Tucker Carlson and the Red-pilling of Naomi Wolf

By Jo Nova

More than anything the Parasite Rulers fear the coming together of the sensible Left and Right — which is exactly what happened when Naomi Wolf spoke to Tucker Carlson.

In Naomi Wolf’s left-leaning circles, Tucker Carlson was an evil, bad man racist misogynist. But when she tried to talk about vaccine injuries, all her usual media friends ignored her. The last men standing in the US media who would interview her were Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon. Worse, after the interviews the tribal hate started to flow from her soon-to-be-former-friends — somehow the topic didn’t matter: maternal deaths, miscarriages, and erratic periods were all irrelevant — the only thing that mattered was that she had talked to Carlson or Bannon. “How could you” proclaimed the indignant?! All her years of scoring goals for the Left were suddenly worthless.

Naomi Wolf:  So I had to face the alarming evidence that the Left now saw anyone “talking to” the opposition, as being magically, publicly, permanently contaminated and contaminating, in some weird anthropological way, and as now being utterly invalidated, and that they believed all of this in some pre-rational, Stone Age sort of belief matrix.

The reaction, though, of horror, from everyone I knew, at my crime of “talking to Tucker Carlson”, horrified me…

If you are a part of Cult of Unreason, by definition, the rulers have to use banishment and fear to keep the followers following. They can’t reason, after all. The apostates must be punished.

Soon, she and her husband found themselves watching Tucker Carlson for the first time and discovering to her distress, that his monologues often made sense…

The Crime of “Talking to Tucker Carlson”

Naomi Wolf, Outspoken

Mr Carlson and I spent most of our careers not in alignment on anything; for decades, our places were adversarial on the public chess board. He had assumed that I was the caricature of a shrieking, irrational left-wing feminist —a view for which he has had the good grace publicly to apologize — and I, for my part, was ready to accept that he must be the boorish, sexist, racist, homophobic frat boy that the progressive news outlets I read, relentlessly insisted that he was. I almost never watched his show, so my preconceptions could flourish uncorrected.

That said, I did find it odd that everyone around me in the “liberal elite” media hated him so violently — the way they hated President Trump; but that when I pressed for concrete reasons why, they could not provide them.

And the hate begins, and from people who were “even a friend”:

Media-bias: Tribal hate: Fox keeps hosting pandemic conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf

I appeared a few times on his show, to air my concerns.

Right away the left-wing “watchdog” Media Matters — run by someone who had been a former acquaintance, even a friend, of ours in DC, the former conservative who had turned Democrat, David Brock — went after me aggressively, with a systematic character assassination on Twitter and on the Media Matters website, engineered by CNN reporter Matt Gertz — a “journalist” who was actually funded to track and attack guests on Fox News: “Fox Keeps Hosting Pandemic Conspiracy Theorist Naomi Wolf”.

(It also consigned millions of women to damaged menses and infertility, by helping to silence this emerging discussion. Maternal deaths are up 40 per cent now, due to compromises of women’s fertility post-MRNA injection. A million babies are missing in Europe. Great work, Mr Gertz, Mr Brock. You will take those harms, that you inflicted upon women and babies, to your graves.)

From now on, nothing she did would be worthy:

But having appeared on Mr Carlson’s show, to raise these and other real concerns, I also was peppered ceaselessly with nasty comments from my own “side.” Why? Because I had talked to Tucker Carlson. That was literally how they phrased my “crime.”

This was the first real confrontation I had with the unreason and the cultlike thinking that were engulfing my “team”. I kept receiving messages, emails, DMs and direct confrontations by phone, with friends and loved ones and even family members.

How can you talk to Tucker Carlson??

I noted with concern that they did not say that I was wrong, or that my assertions were baseless, or even that his assertions were baseless.

This applied with her interview with Steve Bannon, Trump’s former advisor, and even perhaps more so.

Then she and her husband started watching Tucker Carlson:

Well, by this time my husband was watching Mr Carlson’s show. I observed myself experiencing waves of prejudice and of squirming anxiety as I also began to watch his show. To my distress, I found that many of his monologues made sense to me.

They were not unreasonable, by and large, and they were not hate-filled; to the contrary.

I had been told that he was racist. And indeed I recoiled at his signature giggle as he mocked the epithet: “Racist!” But as I actually forced myself to listen, sitting in my discomfort and programmed aversion, observing the reactions in myself (as the Buddhists urge one to do), I realized — he was not in fact a racist.

I realized as I listened that his stories about immigration were not anti-immigrant…

I learned that he was not actually transphobic, as I had been told…

No one would talk to Naomi:

Silence from the US TV networks. Silence from The Washington Post. From The Guardian. Silence from NPR. Silence from the BBC, the Sunday Times of London, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, my reliable former outlets. Even silence from other overseas news outlets. All of these had, until 2020, been happy to respond to what I sent…

So I was in the head-spinning position of realizing that these two men, Carlson and Bannon, both unwavering conservatives, both of whom I had been told represented Evil Incarnate, were the possessors of the only major platforms interested in the hard and fast evidence of the greatest crime in history and of the direct threat to our Republic, of which I was warning; and that every other news outlet, all on the liberal side, indeed around the world, was rushing headlong into the sea of lies…

There shalt be no conversation between the Left and the Right, because it is the antidote.

    Marxism, in all it’s varied forms, is a religion. It does not have a Godhead, but then again, neither does Buddhism.

    There is no reasoning with religious fanatics, as they can’t reason. To do so is to risk the destruction of their belief base.

    Everything they deem bad cannot be blamed on God, as their religion has no Godhead, so they must blame it on someone else.

    Rational people are the someone else. . .

      The Philosophy Of Karl Marx

      The philosophical bases of Marx’s thought were laid early and remained unchanged throughout his life. As a student, Marx accepted the philosophy of Hegel as the only sound and adequate explanation of the universe. According to this philosophy, “the only immutable thing is the abstraction of movement.” The one universal phenomenon is change, and the only universal form of this phenomenon is its complete abstraction. Thus, Hegel accepted as real only that which existed in the mind. Objective phenomena and events were of no consequence; only the conceptions of them possessed by human minds were real. Ideas, not objects, were the stuff of which the universe was made.

      In the Hegelian philosophy no idea could exist without an opposite…. Struggle or conflict was the en-evitable fact in such a universe—conflict of the thesis with its antithesis. In this struggle thesis and antithesis acted and reacted on each other, and a new phenomenon—synthesis—was created. All action or change occurring in the universe was, under the Hegelian philosophy, the product of thesis, antithesis, and resulting synthesis — all in the realm of ideas, since objective reality could exist only in that sphere. Since this process was universal and never ending, it offered a complete explanation of the causal processes creating all phenomena within the universe….

      This is why there is so much emphasis placed on ‘Consensus’ – In other words if I wish real hard and click my heels three time it is TRUE! (And since I control the scientific data bases and the Journals and Societies I can change the data to meet my fantasy.)

      Their creed …the ends justify the means… licences them to do absolutely anything…including lying routinely and consequently…with the MSM almost totally of the Left we’re floundering around in a sea of lies and no one knows what the whole truth is any more.

      No wonder our Socialist relatives are afraid to discuss anything…they’re totally locked in to their ‘ends’ but are unable justify their means eg indoctrinating and scrambling the brains of children to leave them uneducated & useful idiots for activism.. In the end they are anxious and unhappy people.

    In Naomi Wolf’s left-leaning circles, Tucker Carlson was an evil, bad man racist misogynist. 

    Being called a racist, misogynist or some type of “phobe” are all standard Leftist ad-hominens. They are so over-used that the Left have rendered these terms essentially meaningless and so genuine cases*, as frequently practiced by the Left themselves, are ignored. Or look at the treatment by the Left of conservative transgenders like Blaire White who did not change identities to be trendy, but genuinely believes they were born with a feminised brain in a male body. The thought that there could be a biological difference between male and female brains is verboten to the Left.

    Examples: Look at the savage way Leftists treat black conservatives, such as when they accused Larry Elder of being a “white supremacist” or their treatment of other black conservatives like Candace Owens, Allen West, Ben Carson etc..

      I have this image of the left as an insane asylum where they are all screaming the same thing without any recognition as to what it means or if it is true or not.

      It’s actually sad what it does to normal rational people. A friend moved to New York. He was always an activist for the left but at least was a rational intelligent thoughtful person that one could have a discussion with. He changed into one of these lunatic leftists that seem to populate the US in vast numbers, so much so that I had to terminate communicating with him and told him that I was no longer interested in his hateful rhetoric about Trump, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Carlson and the low intellect red-necks in fly-over country who were all labeled Nazis, racists, misogynists, homophobic and probably some other pejorative labels I’ve missed out on.

        Since the Left are effectively half the nation its more useful to think of them as mostly normal people with slightly different tendencies. A minority are super vocal ideologues, or insane, or mentally ill. But mostly they are just asleep.

        The Ruling Class want the Left and Right polarized — let’s not help them. The big crime of most of the Left, is that they are busy, distracted, a bit lazy, naive and easily misled. Most of the Left want good outcomes too, but they like the short term easy answers instead of the long term more complicated approach. They think the government can solve anything, and aiming for perfect is OK. They have no idea what a dangerous game it is to let the government try nor how badly that has worked out every time in history.

        PS: Sorry to hear about your friend. Groupthink does make even ordinary people do crazy things momentarily. The herd instinct is strong.

          Jo says… “A minority are super vocal ideologues, or insane, or mentally ill. But mostly they are just asleep.”

          This is generally true, as the majority work for a living, and in general only hear what the MSM allows and controls.

          I have found that if you red pill them on one subject, it usually opens them up to reexamine a host of issues.

          Dr Malone has said he will use (In a book he is writing) some of the quotes from this post I wrote on “Global Warming, the science and the politics.” It starts a bit slow, as it is written specifically just for those sincere folks that never hear an alternative viewpoint, yet know very little about the theory of “Climate Change” Yet it warms up nicely and clearly shows the politics behind the “science”.

          I have had several liberal friends, who only ever hear the BBC or NPR, say that I was entirely correct when I said they would learn at least ten things about “global Warming, that are both skeptical and true, that they never knew. They are actively reeaming many subjects now.

          Jo – Of course the majority of liberals are normal caring people but Kirkgaard found –
          A search of the available variables resulted in 5 items measuring one’s own mental illness (e.g., ”Do you have any emotional or mental disability?”). All of these items were weakly associated with left-wing political ideology as measured by self-report, with especially high rates seen for the “extremely liberal” group.
          There many other similar studies that point in that direction.

      The thought that there could be a biological difference between male and female brains is verboten to the Left.

      In one sense, each of us is created with a female brain. The evolution of human intelligence benefits from most higher brain function variability being determined by the X-chromosome.
      The Y-chromosome effects changes to that basis framework and in other organs which affect the development of the brain before and after birth- even long after birth.

    I listened this week to Naomi Wolfe’s interview with the other enemy of the left, the liberal (as it used to be defined) Dr Jordan Petersen. It was very tense at first until she slowly realised he was the antithesis of what she had been led to believe. Her husband was a fan of Petersen and had followed his rules for life, like millions of young men, to her great advantage as he made himself a better person. Which is why they were attracted.

    What she soon realised is that therapist Petersen was intensely logical, extraordinarily well informed and like herself, used to be a free thinking liberal as her world of academia moved to extreme left. And he has been cancelled totally as well as not being able to practice as a clinical psychologist because the board of psychologists, like all such boards, has moved to the extreme left. No one wants to be driven from their jobs, so cancellation works.

    And this has left reasonable, passionate former ‘Liberal’ people reclassified and cancelled as extremist right.

    Anyone not on the extreme left of politics, AntiFA, BLM, vax dictates, Trans worshipping, LGIBT+++, mysogyny, body dysphoria, extreme surgery and drugs for children, Imperialism, White supremacy, white male patriachy, no borders and Climate panic is now the enemy. Not China. Maybe Russia.

    Which leaves Naomi, Germaine Greer, JK Rowling and many more like Tucker Carlson and even Petersen wondering how they ended up on the extreme right. Especially if they ask why the Wuhan Flu gave governments the right to act as total dictators, perhaps none worse than Pierre Trudeau whose government seized bank accounts of innocent people for donating to support a very peaceful protest against his policies.

    We are seeing the growth of totalitarianism driven by China. From Daniel Andrews in Victoria to Trudeau in Canada, both openly admirers of Chinese Communist government, every tin pot dictator in the world has used the Wuhan Flu to grab absolute power and undermine democratic government. The real shock though is geriatric Biden who is no more than a sock puppet and running as a sock puppet. And cackling Kamala Harris who could not run a chook raffle or open a can of peas.

      And what the former left heroes are realising is that cancellation is very effective because they get fired. Something scientists around the world realised with Climate Change. Which is why no one speaks up unless they are retired or near retirement because immediate termination is certain. Without superannuation as Prof Peter Ridd found. His defence of truth did not work. It turned out his millionaire Unversity bosses had the legal right to fire him on the flimsiest excuse and without compensation. Who would speak up? Certainly not the board of the University. And not the Federal government.

      Climate Change was never about the truth. It is a total lie, obvious after 35 years of rapid sea level and temperature rise. But ‘speak truth to power’ and you are fired, wiped out, cancelled. By your friends. As even Tony Abbott found.

      It is the Marxist takeover of the Universities, the professions, the press and the tops of all professional organizations. Rule by committee. What the people think is irrelevant.

      What is extremely worrying is that utter incompetents and totally compromised Joe Biden and Kamala (President) Harris are running again?

      The Democratic Party would NOT let that happen unless they were certain they would win the election. And the voting machine Dominion group and the Democratic left courts have silenced Murdoch and Fox. So we will see another fake election, no matter who is running on the Republican side. And every legal and social move will be made to discredit Donald Trump. They will have endless accusations in the pipeline. I expect there is no end to Chinese money putting Biden and Kackling Kamala in the White House. Again.

        TdeF:

        Thank you for the good analysis. Marxists will be closed minded and seek a dictatorship and punishment of their freedom loving and honest opposition. With their dominance of education at all levels and their strict rules and punishments on the east and west coasts areas. However, as Bud Light and is parent company learned the great middle of the country, with a few exception much like Chicago, have power and oppose those that claim there a multitude of sexes. This great heartland of America is mostly conservative, honest, hard working, have faith in God, and holds the majority of freedom loving people. Those with the illness of Marxism in their minds can be changed but it hard to do if they remain in the Marxist parts of the USA.

    The Left are unaccepting and terrified of alternative opinions hence they universally practice censorship on all Legacy and Social(ist) Media platforms controlled by them, which is just about all of them except Elon Musk’s Twitter and magazines such as The Spectator.

    And most people here will have experienced censorship on any and all Leftist-oriented platforms of any kind. And yet Leftists are free to come here to this rational-oriented blog and express their opinions.

    Conservatives and fellow rational thinkers have very few outlets in which they can express themselves except Jo’s blog and similar and Big ones like Musk’s Twitter.

    If the Left have their way, and we are getting closer to the fulfillment of their evil dream every day, we would be living under a global dictatorship. And it will definitely happen if conservatives and fellow rational thinkers remain silent.

      David, what is the usual cycle of the rise and fall of marxism, leftism and totalitarianism?

      The example of the soviet union is well known where it more or less collapsed under its own weight. Germany under that well known organisation which must not be named had to be destroyed at war. Of course everything is different this time because we live in an age of rapidly increasing communications technology.

      I ask because I would like to do my part slowing the rise of evil and hastening its fall.

        Yep, you’re basically unleashing a demon! Because their ideology is basically about feelings, they see facts and feelings as inextricable – they can’t separately compartmentalize the two. So when you try to separate the two, to them it feels like you’re literally trying to rip their heart in half. It’s terrible painful for them.

    Dave of Gold Coast, Qld.

    A great article on a critical problem. I have often wondered how the ‘left’ in so many cases are so hostile and extreme to anyone who does not concur with their obvious phobias. It seems many times cruelty is the driving force, as in abortion and child sex mutilation. I once watched an abortion video and was sickened for weeks. The thought of little kids being doctored by some money hungry rogue medico makes my blood run cold. Then there is the last resort word for every seemingly leftist, racism. We have racist roads, statues, everyone who doesn’t agree with leftist theology is somehow racist. Sounds like more than something weird, but evil and sinister especially when we saw images of Satan popping up last Christmas in the USA. Even here on Gold Coast we had a drama with the mayoral decision to have a Christian offsider then we had satanists threaten him. Hmmmmm!!!!

    There were many I knew and still know who criticised President Trump. I would ask why and they would say he is a boor or he is outlandish. I would tell them of his great achievements of which they were totally ignorant; no new wars, energy independence, more jobs for Blacks and Hispanics, secure border and so on. They did not want to know because they had been conditioned to believe the BS. The left are followers not leaders. Have you noticed that leftist leaders rely on force of arms and agencies to get their way while conservative leaders use persuasion and argument and just lead.

      That’s one of the problems of focusing on personalities rather than systems and policies. It’s an effective tool of propaganda, nevertheless. Demonizing opposition personalities while ignoring their works became a primary mode of operation during the Clinton years. (when did dinyer first start getting used?) It was totally ineffective against Trump during the 2016 election cycle, though. Trump threw it back at them and gave them a taste of their own medicine. That’s a big reason for the TDS. But ignoring his accomplishments is effective when people can’t be bothered to self inform.

      Additionally, what Trump accomplished in the Middle East was unprecidented. Had Clinton or Obama, even the Bushes, accomplished only a fraction of what Trump did there we would have heard no end to it. But most people have never heard of it. (It was all puropsely undone in a matter of weeks, too, by those who value power and greed over peace.)

      Contrasting that to the Biden regime coming up on the next election cycle, they have accomplished nothing positive. Absolutely nothing. What a disaster! Everything, I mean Everything, they have touched has turned into poop. So it’s all about casting Trump as the devil incarnate again. They can’t run on anything they have done. They don’t seem to be worried about losing, though. That’s something for the rest of us to worry about, gravely.

              You are exactly correct. The 2020 votes were grossly distorted. Republican votes were deleted and under counted and the Democratic (leftist) votes were fully counted and then false votes were added to the Democrats and they stole most seats (Governor etc. at the state level and President, Senate and a Representatives at the national level.) The result is we have a crooked Governor and other Statewide offices in Arizona and at the national levels Senators, Representatives, and a senile old puppet (Biden) of the Democrats, i.e. Obama and his top appointees running the country.

              We are very close to one party rule on the East and West coasts and nationally. We need to get rid of several RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) who hold Republican titles but vote with the leftists Democrats.

                Yes Leonard. I saw the vote count graphs out of Arizona, particularly Maricopa county, that showed the count progressing with both Trump and Biden’s counts going up in steady curves, with Trump ahead by several thousand votes. Then at 2:00am suddenly Biden’s votes jump straight up by several tens of thousands of votes, passing through Trump’s total and then the graphs continue at a normal rate, but with Biden ahead. Video showed boxes of, presumably, votes being unloaded from private vehicles at 2:00am. How can so many continue to claim that there was no organised, and massive fraud.

                It’s up to the American citizens to overwhelmingly demonstrate that they will use their vote to put it to rights.

      As much as admire what Trump did, in the interests of everything he stands for, Trump should stand aside and endorse De Santis. While Trump could win in 2024 it will inevitably be with a thin majority. Trump is the only Republican that Biden has a chance against, solely because of the personality politics.
      De Santis (with Trump’s endorsement) and Haley as VP would win all the purple states easily and could even put some of the blue ones on edge. It will be a landslide. Biden will look 100 years old debating De Santis.

        Sorry to be a one note Johnny, but there are many who pull the strings on the marionettes who are throwing resources in the de santis direction. They would be very much in favour of Trump giving up the fight. And there is of course the lawfare going on with the apparent goal of achieving that result. At the same time Florida has just changed its laws to enable de santis to run for president without first resigning as governor.

        My question is what makes you think the powers that be will install de santis in preference to a more easily controlled biden especially with harris presenting as an empty vessel just ready to nominally be appointed in his stead?

        Or do you believe that a free and fair election will take place in 2024?

            It’s simple David: all De Santis’s campaign donations come from billionaire donors, not small grass roots donations. Trump is the reverse.

            De Santis is a RINO drone, not a “Trump without the mean tweets”. He’s a Uni-party puppet.

      People with weaker character tend to move to the left. They need the approval of their friends and peers to validate them as people. Their friends and peers generally need the same, so nobody is willing to step out of line in case they are cancelled. The big bosses of corporations and government look for these traits, the people who will not even “go there” in case it leads to the destruction of their social status and place in society. People who challenge the accepted thinking are those with a more independent streak, a stronger character, who can use their own thoughts to validate themselves as people, they do self-validation. If you can self validate then you do not need the approval of those around you, you just want to hear their ideas and compare them to yours so that you can reassess your self validation. People who self validate are more likely to challenge the boss and ultimately, there will be a few who will disobey the boss. In the days when competition was common in the marketplace, ideas were valued and these self-validators were considered a corporate asset. Those days are long gone, now they are a risk, they may disobey the boss, so they are no longer promoted, no longer able to influence the thinking at the top levels of corporations or government.

      I am sure there is more to it, but this has always been my experience with talking to people on the left. I even know one person on the left who agreed that the vaccines were not tested sufficiently, that they may cause a number of injuries, yet he still took the vaccine but had no logical explanation when I challenged him afterwards: his only explanation was that he felt it was the right thing to do.

    Another ad-hominem of the Left is to call people they disagree with “Fascists” and accuse them of being of the “extreme right”.

    As with any utterance from the Left, either the truth is opposite to what they say or they are guilty of the accusation themselves.

    In fact, Fascism, and its derivative, National Socialism, was conceived by Giovani Gentile, an Hegelian Marxist.

    Fascism is a form of socialism but with strong state control over industry, much as is now developing in Western countries today (e.g. giving certain companies that support government narratives on climate or covid special privileges and taxpayer money). National Socialism is Fascism with extra racial and nationalist elements.

    Because of the bad association with National Socialism and Fascism, Leftists post WW2 have gone to enormous propaganda efforts to make those ideologies appear opposite to what they believe in but they are just variations on the same Leftist theme.

    It is true that there is an ideological war between Socialists/Communists and Fascists but that’s mainly due to the failure of Marx’s predictions of proletariat revolutions in the West which never happened because people were just too comfortable under capitalism.

    There was also mutual admiration between the “progressive” Leftist FDR and Mussolini. In 1933 FDR said of Mussolini “There seems no question he is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished…”. Mussolini enjoyed being referred to as “the Italian Roosevelt”.

      Which is really odd as both Hitler and Stalin were on the extreme left. Both were militaristic and extremely racist. AntiFA with its black shirts is the reincarnation of Mussilini’s black shirts and Hitler’s brown shirts.

      Mussolini’s Fascism inspired Hitler. It was an opporutnistic variation on socialism which is what we are seeing today, where big business colludes with big government to control the people. And Hitler was funded by the biggest company in the world and directly supported by Mrs Krupp herself. Today the US IT trillionaries are solidly behind totalitarianism and China. As long as they are protected. And media including children’s channel Disney.

      The only way Fascism differs from Communism is who owns the means of production. It is otherwise identical. And the first move is to ban elections.

      The long standing South Park parody of Mickey Mouse as a totalitarian dictator is eerily close to the truth, as is so much from South Park.

        Or to make it simpler, Fascism is socialism where the leaders get rich and the industrialists get even richer. It’s all about profits from a slave society.

        Fundamentally Hitler was a crook, not a visionary. He forced everyone to buy Mein Kampf and made millions. And when the tax department came for their share, he passed a law exempting himself from paying tax.

          he passed a law exempting himself from paying tax.

          From the New York Times, 1970.

          https://www.nytimes.com/1970/04/08/archives/hitler-revealed-as-a-tax-dodger-used-several-ruses-while-chancellor.html

          BONN, April 7 — Among all the other things, it turns out, Adolf Hitler was a tax dodger.

          It was not a secret that the Führer, a man whose resolute nature has been well doc umented, had an aversion to taxes. Through all the years before the Nazis gained power in Germany, Hitler fought with the tax collector over every pfenning.

          It was also known that in 1935, after two years in office as Germany’s Chancellor, Hitler was declared exempt from taxes.

          But it has only now been discovered, in a search of musty, hidden records of the West German Finance Ministry, how hard Hitler fought and how many ruses he used to out maneuver the tax collectors for those two uncertain years.

          In 1933, before he had spent a week in office, he had chipped away at the Finance Ministry sufficiently to win exemption from income tax on all the per quisites and allowances that he got on top of his 60,000‐mark salary. Every Chancellor before Hitler, through the whole his tory of the Weimar republic, had paid these taxes.

    There is an element of spoon-feeding the baby in her self-description of squeamishness with watching Tucker. I get it that she is a recovering cult member. But here she sounds sillier than she needs to, and I think this is by way of trying to coax her cultic friends just a little bit at a time. She may have pulled the same type of storytelling with regards to her experience with Peterson.

    Actually she has been talking outside the cult a very long time. She is right on top of the poisoning plot. She is not treating the population control warfare as an amazing congregation of fools and coincidences. So there was always this level of native intelligence and good character even back when she was a mildly annoying leftist.

    As we have told yah for years.

    Liberalism is a Progressive Disease.

    What Naomi Wolf and other ,former leftists,are experiencing is called “Waking up” .

    Life.A sexually transmitted terminal disease.
    No one who has contracted “Life” survives for much more than a century.

    Hence reality has boundaries and our choices ,consequence.

    As everyone ,who has tried,has learnt.
    You cannot argue a person out of a position they did not reason themselves in to.
    Shorter version;”There is no cure for stupid”.

    Our Progressive Comrades are the Rust on society.
    And just like rust they destroy every structure they infect.

    So “Arguing with Liberals” is a pointless exercise,they only understand force,and that only dimly.

    Either exterminate them or banish them from civil society.

    For life is too short and precious to be wasted combatting fools and bandits.
    I prefer banishment but even when we banish ourselves to places so remote,that such parasites cannot survive..Eventually they turn up.
    Usually stating “I am from the government and I am here to “help” you.

    Now we have been informed,by our parasitic overload(Just another name for the Progressives), that they will never leave us in peace and that they know best what substances we must be injected with,to placate their panic..

    All bets are off.
    Banishment .
    Barbaric Street Theatre.
    Grotesque civic ceremonies..
    What ever it takes,until these stupid evil* fools learn,”They really should have left us alone”.

    And of course every Government Worshipping Parasite will read the above as “Hate Speech”.
    Fools and Bandits all suffering serious delusions of adequacy.
    Lacking any life skill or core competencies they still insist “They KNOW better than you,how you shall live,work or play.”

    Welcome to Human Nature 101 and the cycles of human affairs.

    * Evil,here defined as compound stupidity.
    For in the end evil is the result profoundly stupid choices.

    I think I’m having Tucker withdrawal symptoms. A whole week of no Tucker and we still don’t know why he was fired !!!. Fox will end up losing over $1B in market value once the dust settles and possibly much more. His departure has created a second “Bud Light” moment, where listeners are deliberately tuning off in protest and many of these people will never return. Why would Fox dismiss TC knowing the huge damage it would cause to their ratings, branding and market value ???. The current media nonsense about some mean emails and test messages are so petty they are beyond absurd.

    Perhaps the gist of this piece on Naomi Wolf by Jo is behind the real reason for his axing. Tucker exposes the lies that the establishment wish to remain hidden and he does it in a way that inspires action. In recent times Tucker had been looking at the gamer / dept of defense employee that leaked classified intel on Ukraine showing that US forces were already active on the ground in Ukraine. At the time, Tucker was demanding the government explain how troops could be deployed without approval by congress, which is a very good question as it would be a breach of the constitution. With Tucker gone that story has gone very quiet. Whilst it’s hard to point to a single smoking gun, because there were so many lies exposed that potentially had very negative consequences for people in power, it seems likely that one of these stories triggered the deep state and Fox was forced to fold and lose $1B in silence. Even the Murdock owned Sky News Outsiders program were notably silent on his sacking today, which is rather strange considering they did cover Don Lemon’s excommunication from CNN and TC is arguably the biggest outsider on the planet, with a daily cable audience of 3 million +. Something is rotten and it’s not just in Denmark 🙁

      I am not claiming moral superiority here, but then again, I do not masquerade as an “outsider” or a real disruptive conservative on national TV either. The Sky After Dark mob are all pretend conservatives, especially Andrew Bolt. The Outsiders are little different – in the end, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Ditto all at Fox in the US bar Dan Bongiorno who was ousted along with TC last week. Minus TC< Fox now plays the useful role of state-sanctioned media opposition, in the same way that the GOP (bar a few) is state-sanctioned political opposition. Sky and the Coalition are the same here.
      Look what happened to Mark Latham when, in response to being called a "disgusting person" he had the temerity to point out something we all know to be true, but we are all too terrified to say.
      These are very dark days and if you add in demographic catastrophe, energy catastrophe, food catastrophe and the increasing possibility of all out global war, it ain't pretty.
      History rhymes – like ROme circa 450AD, this civilisation would seem to have reached its collapse.

        This is what we all wonder, but can’t know for sure. Is the conservative slant on Fox and Sky just a way of capturing the large conservative audience for monetary gain or is there a genuine belief in what they promote ?. Well, we know that radio 2GB was purchased by Fairfax, which is a hard left woke virtue signalling company and they ditched AJ, as did Sky. But I’m not so sure about Murdoch. I would like to think that there is some personal commitment to the cause but you can’t be 100% sure where money is involved. I do believe that Bolt is a true conservative because who would choose to have a target on your head 24/7 where crazed left wing extremists have essentially become protected terrorists. Both Bolt and Rowan Dean are brave men that deserve to be recognised as such.

        I would agree Adellad. Even today on the “Outsiders” show after the panel interviewed Dr Melissa McCann, who is involved in the legal suit against TGA etc regarding the dubious safety of the mRNA vaccines, Dean read out a statement stating the government view on the vaccines. Hence, they still adhere to the narrative- vaccines are great and nobody can criticise them.

          The left are using legal and regulatory avenues to silence their critics. If you watched Outsiders today you would have noted the 80 complaints of misinformation made by Kevin Rudd to ACMA regarding Rowan’s ice age watch. These complaints are mostly bogus, but take considerable time with legal support to bat back and the result has been the inclusion of disclaimer statements to protect against legal action or fines, such as you saw today.

          I agree with Adellad, I feel Bolt is kind of a default conservative, meaning he automatically takes up the contrary position on any polarising issue without objectively addressing it. I listened to Melissa McCann at a conference a couple of months ago and her words gave me some reassurance that there are people out there willing to fight for those who have been vaccine injured and to also challenge Federal and State governments on the vaccine policies they imposed and continue to promote unapologetically

    So she marries an Irish guy whose very profession involves hunting, rather than merely seeking, defending, or appreciating the truth. Could this be a great Christian story? Could it be LOVE that has brought her prestigious research skills toward the bright side of the road?

    Maybe in the future we need to be more proactive. Find the cult members with the proven skills and bring a bit of Emerald Isle Elaine to the fight.

    The phenomenal molecule 1-MNA, recently discovered by Polish scientists, is surprising with further promising properties. So far, the Polish company Pharmena SA’s research on the molecule has focused primarily on its benefits in the cardiovascular area, but the latest data confirm an even broader spectrum of the molecule’s effects. Studies conducted at a number of centers around the world have shown that the 1-MNA compound exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. This effect may be important in the fight against infections.
    1-MNA (1-methylnicotinamide) is a compound of natural origin, physiologically present in the human body. The substance is formed as a result of the metabolism of vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) and is found mainly in the liver, and in smaller amounts also in the kidneys, lungs, heart and brain. As we age, our body’s ability to metabolize vitamin B3 declines.

    1-MNA and the latest research findings

    – Fighting inflammation. 1-MNA levels in certain diseases

    In addition, a recent scientific study published by Chinese and Italian researchers in Cell Death & Differentiation in March this year on the immune response in COVID-19 infection, also recommends the administration of nicotinamide (vitamin B3) in SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection .

    Broad spectrum of action of 1-MNA

    1-MNA vs. mucous membranes. Mucous membranes are the body’s natural protective barrier and are therefore part of the immune system. It is through them that bacteria and viruses try to enter the human body. This further stimulates the immune system. In turn, one of the elements important in the proper functioning of mucous membranes is niacin (vitamin B3). The 1-MNA molecule is a ready-made, already converted form of vitamin B3.

    1-MNA and the cardiovascular system. The endothelium is the layer of cells lining the inner walls of vessels and the largest endocrine gland . For years it was thought to be only a barrier between the blood? and vascular smooth muscle. Today it is known that it is an organ that affects the tension of blood vessel walls and regulates their inflammatory activity? Endothelial dysfunction leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases: atherosclerosis, hypertension, chronic heart failure, dyslipidemia. It is also associated with diabetes?, gastrointestinal, liver and kidney diseases. 1-MNA regulates endothelial function, but also stimulates the production of prostacyclin, which protects the cardiovascular system from the formation of blood clots and heart attacks. It has an anti-atherosclerotic and anti-thrombotic effect by lowering levels of inflammatory marker

    The undeniable results of the Marxist utopia have become apparent with racial division, hatred of the country which gave the individual advantages and the economy which produces inventive choice being destroyed from the Soros backed manipulators of US ‘law’. This has created a schism in the left which was always going to come as it does in every Marxist enclave as realisation of the true agenda dawns on the useful idiots.
    The full force then is turned inwards with cancel culture character assassination and silencing of anyone considered moderate being cut from the cult.
    Rogan, Shellenberger, Wolf……..they will keep coming, as the massive exodus of middle class useful idiots flow out of New York and Californicated.
    The double down is on by the Marxists as the Ole Dementia Joe puppeteers see four more years to push the right to militant action so they can claim this was always what they were fighting against. The conservatives in the US have lead this fight – coming late and only lead by an outsider, Trump – but this is vital to the continued Western civilization.
    Allowing a voice to moderate left critical thinkers is the tool which breaks down every hard left agenda, because it shows the hard left is always the aggressor.
    It has been brilliant that the right hasn’t resorted to the reaction the left wants, because that makes them ever more desperate to shore up the periphery of their elite enclave as they see more drift away weekly and the message become more incoherent and manic!
    Embrace those who want to speak from centre left, they will drag the millennials back from the brainwashing to a more productive future for all!
