🧵🧵Understanding how you’re being manipulated is the first step to not being manipulated.
These techniques are consistent across every one of the last eight Tucker episodes.
Once you see them, you cannot unsee them.
Technique 1: The Building
Every episode begins on solid ground. Free speech really is under attack. The Iraq War really was a disaster. American munitions could be depleted. Iran’s nuclear program really has been discussed for decades. This is the ground floor.
The technique is to use that solid ground as the entry point into a building whose upper floors are somewhere you would never go voluntarily. You enter agreeing with the claim on floor one. By the time you’ve climbed to floor five, you’re agreeing that Zionist billionaires control the financial system, that Israel deliberately engineers European demographic collapse, that Kennedy was killed to protect Israel’s nuclear program, and that your Christian faith has been weaponized against you by Jewish power.
No single step felt like a leap. Every step felt like a reasonable extension of the last. That’s the architecture. That’s how it works.
Technique 2: The Bait and Switch
Bait -
∙Free speech suppression (legitimate)
∙American soldiers dying in wars they didn’t choose (legitimate)
∙Foreign lobbying influence on American policy (legitimate)
🧵🧵🧵 OpenAI and Anthropic are building the AI products that threaten to displace millions of workers while simultaneously funding the research that quantifies that displacement, bankrolling the political candidates who propose government solutions like universal basic income, and lobbying for regulations that only the wealthiest companies can afford to comply with, which locks out competitors, consolidates their control over how the public accesses information, and ensures that taxpayers rather than tech billionaires absorb the economic fallout.
And they are trying to do it before midterms hoping they can swing the election to the democrats.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman personally funded the largest universal basic income study in American history through his nonprofit OpenResearch, giving $1,000 a month to 3,000 people over three years.
He did this before ChatGPT even launched, meaning he was building the case for government cash payments while simultaneously building the product he now says will destroy jobs.
Altman has publicly stated that many professions will “go away” and that “the world is not prepared.” He is the salesman and the arsonist selling fire insurance.
Anthropic spent over $3.1 million lobbying the federal government in 2025 on AI regulation, national security, export controls, and federal procurement.
Anthropic donated $20 million to Public First Action, a PAC backing pro-regulation candidates in both parties for the 2026 midterms.
Anthropic’s affiliated PACs have directly supported co-chairs of the House Democratic Commission on AI, including Reps. Valerie Foushee and Josh Gottheimer.
Anthropic published a major study on March 5, 2026, eight months before the midterms, mapping which jobs AI can replace, which Fortune framed as evidence of a coming “Great Recession for white-collar workers.”
Anthropic has stated that AI transparency regulation “should apply only to companies developing the most powerful AI models.” That means Anthropic and its handful of competitors. Every startup, every open source project, and every smaller company gets priced out of the market through compliance costs that only billion dollar companies can absorb.
. @LarryTaunton went to the Gaza border. With an M16 in his lap. Riding with IDF soldiers along the same roads where Oct. 7 happened. He wrote it up for The Federalist and it’s one of the most important pieces of journalism on this conflict I’ve read. But it hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention for the amazing reporting that was done. 🧵
The article is linked at the end of the thread and I hope everyone takes the time to read it. This is just a summary of its most important points.
1. He physically drove along “Burma,” the IDF code name for the fence road, with a 25-year-old IDF soldier named Mikaela and a Special Forces guide named Doron. He saw the destroyed surveillance towers. The mobile bomb shelters where families were slaughtered. The battlefields.
2. Remember that border fence? $1.1 billion. Three years to build. 40 miles long. Israel’s defense minister called it a “wall of iron” in 2021. The IDF chief of staff said “what happened in the past won’t happen again.” Less than two years later, ~7,000 Hamas fighters breached it in 109+ locations.
3. This wasn’t a random terrorist attack on a music festival. That’s the narrative Western media sold us. Taunton lays out that it was a coordinated military operation by land, sea, and air. Fighters came on motorcycles, boats, paragliders, even golf carts. They carried AK-47s, RPGs, anti-tank missiles, .50 cal machine guns. 50 battle sites. 600 square kilometers. 50 hours.
4. A senior Israeli law enforcement official retired IDF lieutenant colonel told Taunton something chilling. Hamas fighters carried maps with exact locations. They knew where every kibbutz was, who lived where, even who had a dog. How? Work visas.
5. The Biden administration pressured Israel to issue work visas to Gazans. Netanyahu refused. His successors Bennett and Lapid issued them by the thousands. Over 20,000 Gazans got access. Hamas used them as intelligence-gathering operations. They scouted police stations, military bases, homes. They hid weapons inside Israel.
6. By the time Netanyahu returned to office in Dec 2022, it was too late. Cancel 20,000 visas and risk riots + US backlash, or maintain the status quo. The fox already knew the layout of the henhouse.
7. It gets worse. Taunton was handed a dirty, unopened foil package found in a captured Hamas pickup truck. Antibiotics Amoxicillin. Stamped UNRWA. Paid for by US tax dollars. Hamas fighters carried UN-funded medical supplies into battle.
🧵🧵 Your quick guide on the Demolition Project underway in the conservative right.
The End Goal
The end goal is the replacement of the American constitutional republic with a post-liberal political order rooted in a specific religious and cultural authority.
Not conservatism as it has existed.
Not the Judeo-Christian framework that undergirds the founding.
Something fundamentally different that uses Christian language but operates on pre-Christian, pre-constitutional principles of centralized authority, enforced orthodoxy, and hierarchical control.
Everything else is a means to that end.
The Architecture
Think of it as a building with multiple floors. Each floor serves a specific function. And most of the people operating on any given floor don’t see the full building. They think they’re engaged in their own fight. But every floor feeds upward to the same penthouse.
Floor One: Destabilize Trust
This is the foundation of everything. Before you can replace a system, you have to make people lose faith in it.
Tucker, the populist influencers, the alternative media ecosystem, they all serve this function.
Question every institution.
Question every source of information.
Question every alliance.
Question every norm.
Some of this is legitimate. Institutions have failed. Media has lied. Politicians have betrayed trust. The grievances are real. But the function of this floor isn’t to reform institutions. It’s to create a vacuum.
When people trust nothing, they become desperate for something to trust.
And desperate people don’t evaluate what they’re offered. They grab whatever feels solid.
Floor Two: Sever the Judeo from the Christian
This is the theological floor and it’s the most critical one. The Judeo-Christian framework is the intellectual and spiritual foundation of the American experiment.
Religious liberty, the dignity of the individual, the limitation of state power, the idea that government exists to protect God-given rights rather than to define them.
All of this flows from a theological tradition that is irreducibly Jewish and Christian together.
To replace the American system, you have to replace its foundation.
And that means severing the Judeo from the Christian.
Joel Webbon putting “Judeo-Christianity” in quotes. Anyone saying “Israel is the Church.”
The revival of replacement theology. Tucker accusing Jewish commentators of practicing magic.
The groypers normalizing antisemitism within conservative spaces.
Each of these is a different tool doing the same job.
Disconnecting Christianity from its Jewish roots so it can be reconnected to a different foundation, namely the Catholic integralist or Christian nationalist framework that predates and opposes the American founding. And I would argue Christianity and Catholicism.
No. They have not they are distributing Dugin occultism and satanism to American audiences and calling it Christianity.
In 1980, Dugin joined the Yuzhinsky Circle, a group that dabbled in Satanism, esoteric Nazism, and other forms of the occult. The circle gained a reputation for séances, mysticism, hypnotism, Ouija boards, trances, and pentagrams. Dugin adopted an alter ego named “Hans Sievers” a reference to a Nazi researcher of the paranormal.
His influences include René Guénon (a French occultist), Julius Evola (an Italian fascist occultist), and Aleister Crowley the most famous Satanist of the 20th century.
The symbol Dugin chose for his political movement is the “wheel of chaos” which comes from British occultism and looks strikingly similar to SS and neo-Nazi symbols.
Despite claiming to be a Russian Orthodox Christian, Dugin’s actual beliefs are manifestationist and occultist.
His supposed Christian allegiance is in fact adherence to esoteric ideas that he claims are the hidden truth underneath Christianity.
A Russian occultist fascist philosopher who practiced séances, adopted a Nazi alter ego, was influenced by Aleister Crowley, uses a chaos magic symbol, and believes in a cosmic war between Christianity and Judaism that man’s ideas are now being delivered, almost word for word, to the largest conservative podcast audiences in America.
They haven’t lost their minds. They’re doing exactly what Dugin’s framework calls for: using Christian civilizational language to deliver occult-fascist content to Western audiences, in order to destroy the liberal democratic order from within, break the American-Israeli alliance, and reorient the West toward the Eurasian axis.
The founders built the First Amendment to prevent foreign religious and political influence from capturing American discourse. What’s happening right now is a Russian occult-fascist framework, laundered through Catholic cultural identity and conservative media infrastructure, being delivered to the American public as though it were patriotic Christianity.
It isn’t. And once you see the overlay between Dugin’s published writings and Tucker and Candace’s recent content, you can’t unsee it.
What does he believe?
One: There was a lost golden age before recorded history an ancient civilization of spiritually advanced beings, sometimes called Hyperboreans, sometimes connected to the biblical giants (Nephilim). This idea comes from völkisch occultists who believed the Aryans originated in a paradise at the North Pole called Hyperborea or Arktogäa. Modern civilization destroyed the connection to this spiritual knowledge.
Two: Certain people can access hidden spiritual dimensions through esoteric practices
astral projection, trances, séances, activation of the “third eye.” Modernity suppressed this knowledge. Recovering it is part of the spiritual revolution.
Three: History is a cosmic war between two civilizations. The “Eurasian” civilization (Russia, the Orthodox world, traditional Islam) represents spiritual truth. The “Atlanticist” civilization (America, the West, liberal democracy) represents spiritual death. Russia as the “Third Rome” is the Katechon the Restrainer holding back the Antichrist. And the Antichrist is the Western liberal order.
Four: Jews are the hidden enemy. Dugin refers to a “world plot” and an “eternal enemy” behind it, directly related to the narrative of the Antichrist. This ideology sees an “occult metaphysical war” between Christianity and Judaism. In 1993, he appeared on Russian TV scaring audiences with a world plot allegedly organized by “Kike-Masons,” referencing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In his framework, the Jewish desire to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem is the trigger for the apocalypse the final move in the cosmic war against Christian civilization.
Five: The goal is to destroy liberal democracy and replace it with a spiritual-political order based on tradition, hierarchy, and religious authority. There is no separating the political and the theological in Dugin’s Fourth Political Theory. He wants to end the separation of church and state everywhere.
How Candace and Tucker are distributing this to America:
Dugin says: There’s a cosmic war between Christian and Jewish civilizations. The Third Temple is the apocalyptic Jewish project that threatens Christianity.
Tucker says: “Could this be a religious war designed to rebuild the Third Temple on the ashes of Al Aqsa?” He accused Chabad of driving the Iran war, saying “Christians have a way of dying disproportionately in these wars, which tells you something about their real motives.”
That’s not Tucker’s original thought. That’s Dugin’s Third Rome vs. Third Temple framework delivered to millions of Americans.
On February 16, MTG sat in Bethlehem with Mayor Maher N. Canawati and broadcast his claim that Israel is persecuting Palestinian Christians.
She cited 139 IDF checkpoints, accused settlers of stealing Christian homes, and urged American Christians to “speak out.”
What she did not say is that Canawati was not elected by the people of Bethlehem. According to the Palestinian News Network, his appointment was brokered by Palestinian Authority intelligence chief Majed Faraj during a closed session packed with Fatah officials and PA security figures.
The mayor’s chair is rotated through backroom power-sharing deals, not ballots.
Bethlehem sits in Area A under the Oslo Accords, meaning it is entirely under PA jurisdiction.
Israelis cannot even enter the city. Greene blamed Israel for conditions in a city Israel does not govern.
The persecution Greene attributes to Israel is inflicted by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas and she knows it.
Christians went from 86% of Bethlehem’s population in 1950 to roughly 10% today, all under PA governance.
In Gaza, the Christian population collapsed from 5,000 to 1,000 under Hamas rule.
A 2020 survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (a Palestinian institution in Ramallah, not an Israeli one) found that over 40% of Palestinian Christians feel Muslims do not wish to see them in Palestine, 44% face discrimination in employment, 30% have been called “non-believers” or “crusaders,” and a quarter have been urged to convert to Islam.
In 2007, Hamas militants murdered Rami Ayyad, a Bible Society worker, for his faith. Greek Orthodox Bishop Alexios confirmed that forced conversions to Islam occurred “under threats, coercion, compulsion, and force” and petitioned Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh to investigate. Nothing happened.
Christians in Gaza have reported practicing their faith in secret and growing beards to blend in.
Christian women under the PA face systematic sexual harassment, land theft, firebombing of churches, forced marriage, and extortion all documented by scholars like Justus Reid Weiner at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, who interviewed dozens of victims too terrified to go public.
The PA actively suppresses reporting of this persecution. The Maronite church in Bethlehem was attacked six times, including an arson attack, and none of the incidents were covered by PA media and gag orders were imposed in every case.
Christian leaders are coerced into blaming Israel as a condition of their survival; researchers have described how the PA “uses Christian leaders as political pawns” who “shift the blame for their struggles onto Israel while denying the role of Muslim-dominated authorities in the persecution.”
The PCPSR itself has been the target of PA hostility, with its offices ransacked by mobs after publishing findings that contradicted PA narratives.
Pastor Johnny Shahwan was arrested by PA security forces for “promoting normalization” with Israel.
A mob attacked the Forefathers Orthodox Church in Beit Sahour while congregants cowered inside and the PA did nothing.
Gunmen shot up a Christian-owned hotel and no arrests.
MTG told you none of this though. She sat with the PA’s appointed spokesman and let him perform his role unchallenged.
She’s just an abject liar and you should ask yourself why.
Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population is growing approximately 187,900 Christians live in Israel, with consistent year-over-year growth.
Christian schools in Israel are among the finest in the country, producing 34 percent of Arab university students from just 4 percent of Arab schools.
84% of Israeli Christians say they are satisfied with life in the country.
Arab pastor Saleem Shalash of Nazareth stated plainly: “As an Arab pastor, I would prefer to live in Israel. The freedom we have in Israel we don’t have in the best Arab countries. We can practice our belief without persecution. And if there is persecution, we can call the police and they will protect us.”
Same ethnicity. Same language. Same region. Christians under Israeli governance thrive. Christians under PA and Hamas governance flee or die.
MTG knows this she’s not stupid. Instead she chose to platform the PA’s hand-picked Christian puppet, amplify the lie that Israel is the persecutor, and give cover to the Islamist authorities who are executing the slow-motion extinction of Christianity from its birthplace.
