* Denounced CIA, FBI and DHS for its systemic lies and corruption;

From 8pm to 9pm on Fox, there was extreme, even fundamental, disagreements between Tucker and Hannity on those key issues - the kind of internal debate unthinkable on any other network: in lockstep.
I'd wager the new 8pm host will be far more aligned with Hannity: standard GOP.
I'm not making claims, yet, on what caused this separation. I'm just noting: the removal of Tucker means the elimination of the only real, sustained dissent on US militarism, the US Security State and more 👆(Laura & Jesse Waters are the only others in prime-time near that).
A major irony is that Tucker's separation from Fox may be the best thing that could happen to him in terms of his influence and impact.
The sector of media growing most explosively are independent platforms. Joe Rogan is vastly more influential than every MSNBC and CNN host.
No matter how free you believe you are when you're attached to a media corporation, there are subtle yet powerful ways it constrains and limits you.
What people most distrust are media corporations, and what they crave most are authentic voices that come only with independence.
Don't forget: yesterday, AOC went on the show of Biden's ex WH Press Secretary and demanded the Govt ban Tucker from being allowed on TV.
Dems like AOC are utter authoritarians who crave state censorship. Independent platforms are immune from that.
We had close to 250k watching tonight's @SystemUpdate_ show on the key context of Tucker's separation from Fox - the ideological divisions within the US Right v. lock-step left-liberal politics - and AOC's call for Biden to ban Fox shows.
Last night @elonmusk vowed to honor the endless, repressive and due-process-free censorship orders from Brazil's Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
The Judge has banned various journalists and members of Congress, among others, from social media.
This would be a huge deal for Brazil:
Rumble last year also announced that it would refuse to comply. The platform was expending huge resources to constantly take down videos and ban users upon the endless, lawless orders of a single job.
Amazingly, Rumble is no longer available to anyone in Brazil, getting this:
In January of last year, we obtained one of the secret orders Judge Moraes issues to platforms. This one banned Senators, Congress members and journalists, and mandated secrecy.
No due process. We reported it here. Hard to overstate how extreme it is:
UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.
US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.
Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.
They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.
How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!
Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
