Tucker Carlson Obliterates Free Beacon Funder & Possible FusionGPS Paymaster Paul Singer, as Well As His Owned-and-Operated Pet Senator Ben Sasse

This is an important story. Both video and a transcript at the link.

Definitely watch until the very end, where Tucker Carlson lays into Ben Sasse, one of Paul Singer's wholly-owned subsidiaries, for refusing to make any comment whatsoever -- or even respond to inquiries from Carlson -- about his views about Paul Singer's destruction of a town in the state Sasse allegedly represents.

Here's a Fox news print story about the topic.

People like Paul Singer control the GOP and are effectively in a conspiracy against actual GOP voters. When Singer's kid announced he was gay, Paul Singer basically mandated that the GOP become pro-gay marriage, and the GOP complied.

Another billionaire funder, Stanley Hubbard, told, in 2016, his own pet candidate Scott Walker that he must not question the Corporate Class Consensus on birthright citizenship and high levels of tolerated, supposedly illegal immigration.

Hubbard issued his rebuke, and Walker changed his tune to sing the Corporate Class anthem within a day.

Tuesday: Stanley Hubbard, a conservative billionaire who oversees a Minnesota broadcasting company and has donated to Walker's campaign, confronts Walker on the issue during a lunch in Minnesota. Hubbard strongly opposes ending birthright citizenship, and he tells The Washington Post that he "might really quickly change my allegiance" if Walker pushs for such a repeal. Hubbard says he "did not get a real straight answer" from the candidate, but he comes away ready to write more checks to help Walker, adding, "I got the feeling that he is not at all anxious to talk about taking away those rights."

A lot of "conservative journalists" are actually bought-and-paid-for propagandists for monied interests. You know how AEI "chairs" work? Specific billionaires fund specific "chairs" and give them to specific propagandists posing as "journalists."

And do those "journalists" ever take a strong position contrary to their Wealthy Patrons' wishes? Not very often!

These "journalists" refuse to disclose who it is who is funding them, and do not make the routine sort of basic-hygiene disclosures when writing about issues that are of paramount importance to the people bribing them.

This is both a secret, and not a secret. It's not a secret in the sense that anyone who cares to know about this stuff knows about it, but it is a secret in that we're not supposed to talk about it, because the "conservative journalists" secretly on the Koch Industries payroll consider it out-of-bounds to expose their grift.

Well, we might have to start talking about it.

Meanwhile, Paul Singer calls the shots in the GOP. If you ever wonder why the GOP supports so many unpopular positions with incredible zeal and passion (such as vulture capitalism), and why the GOP runs away from some popular issues like border enforcement, and why the GOP takes the Democrat side on issues which are 50/50 (gay stuff, abortion), it's because very rich liberals like Paul Singer, who have no interest in the GOP or conservatism except to pervert it into a tool to help put more money into their pockets,, have willed it so, and all of our chickenshit "representatives" can't quit that sweet, sweet plutocrat money.

Pretty much, whenever the GOP is acting in what appears to be an inexplicably stupid or traitorous way, the reason is that, of course, they're being paid to act that way, and they of course can't admit that publicly.

It's time to take this trash out.

The Corporate Class is always attacking populists for their savage and ignorant notion that people should decide their own political fates based upon openly-available information. The Corporate Class considers this, rightly, to be a challenge to their very secret, hidden-from-view control over the country's politics, and so slander their rivals as racist, antisemitic, etc.

For those against "populism," who abhor the prospect of being ruled over by brutish common citizens -- well, our nation's politics are either going to be decided by savage, brutish common citizens or by plutocrats like Paul Singer.

Maybe it's time for the so-called anti-populists to stop talking about what they oppose and start being honest about what they champion (because they're paid to champion it): Perpetual secret rule by a socially-liberal, corporately archlibertarian billionaire elite.

Because that's the only alternative to populism, and that's what populism opposes.
