Comment by Thomas_Dankara [any,comrade/them]@hexbear.net on So Tucker Carlson's dad was previously the director of Voice of America, Radio Marti, and the US Information Agency (handles propaganda for the US gov/CIA)

For anyone not familiar with these terms, VoA and Radio Marti are US government (very closely tied to CIA) propaganda outlets, the latter being directed at Cuba. The USIA used to be the official arm of the US government that handles propaganda, until it was transferred over to the ~~BBG/USAGM~~ Broadcasting Board of Governors/US Agency for Global Media.

I was unaware of this connection before, so I thought I’d share it with you all.

EDIT: Would anyone else be interested in a research comm for stuff like this?

tucker tried to be CIA in the 80s and wanted to fight sandinistas in nicaragua, if i recall

he’s also a Big Meat heir (no, not the sexy kind, the carnist kind)

I didn’t know he tried to be CIA in the 80s. Know where I can find more info on that? I do know that Anderson Cooper interned for the CIA, which is weird.

Vanderbilt heir too

Much thanks for the link.

Vanderbilt heir too

Yep, I definitely knew about that. Isn’t it curious how some of these news personalities come from east-coast “old money” and/or have deep state ties?

White anglo saxon protestants too. The same people who want us to think it’s all jews or some shit.

the people who run the country don’t read the news to you on TV. they PAY the people who read the news to you on TV.

The story is that he didn’t get in. IMO more likely is that he did.

Here is the twitter thread about tucker in Nicaragua https://nitter.net/alanrmacleod/status/1497516067811430404
