Last week, Tucker Carlson dropped a real bombshell when he announced on his program that he believed that the NSA was spying on him. A few afternoons later, Tucker Carlson dropped by Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business show in order to explain just how he determined that. He told Bartiromo’s audience just how he had obtained information proving that the NSA had been spying on him, and Maria Bartiromo explained to her audience that the NSA was “going to leak sensitive information” from Carlson so that they could “get his show canceled.”
Carlson knew that it was time for him to explain why he had decided to go public with these allegations, so he explained it in the following manner: “You don’t go on TV lightly to say ‘The NSA is spying on me.,’ because you sound like a crazy person!” Carlson said. He continued, “Of course, you don’t say that unless you know it’s true—and I do know it was true because, almost accidentally, I was in Washington for a funeral last week and I ran into someone I know well, who said I have a message for you—and then proceeded to repeat back to me details from emails and texts that I sent and had told no one else about.” Tucker explained that the whistleblower had indeed verified that the NSA was spying on him and so Carlson made a “defensive move” where he decided to “say something out loud” about the NSA spying on him on his show.
Even though Carlson exposed the spying operation from the NSA on his show, the NSA wasn’t done yet. They tried to distance themselves by issuing a statement such as this one:
“NSA has a foreign intelligence mission. We target foreign powers to generate insights on foreign activities that could harm the United States.” The statement, of course, is not a denial, but instead, a word salad, which is nothing more than a manipulation of words arranged to appear like it is a denial.
Unfortunately, Carlson had no difficulty at all verifying the whistleblower’s claim.
“Then—yesterday, I learned that—and this is going to come out soon—that the NSA leaked the contents of my emails to journalists—in an effort to discredit me!” Carlson proceeded to tell his fellow Fox News journalist that he was the recipient of a phone call from a journalist that confirmed the whistleblower’s warning. “More ominously, they’re using the information they gather to put leverage and to threaten opposition journalists— those who criticize the Biden administration. And I don’t think we should put up with it in a free country,” Carlson said.
“It’s worse than shocking—this is the stuff of banana republics and third-world countries,” Bartiromo said.
First, it was the FBI spying on innocent American citizens and now the NSA is getting into the act. Is it possible for America to ever trust our intelligence agencies again?
