Tucker Carlson Debates BLM Supporter Over Blacks-Only Segregated Event

Tucker Carlson debated a horribly racist Black Lives Matter supporter last night – compelling his guest to distance herself from the group by the end of the interview…

Last weekend, a New York City BLM group decided to throw an “Exclusively Black’ Memorial Day party creating what they called an ‘Exclusively Black Space.’

Being intentional about being around Black People is an act of resistance. This is an exclusively Black Space… -NY BLM Group

Sorry guys…

In response to the event, Fox’s Tucker Carlson hosted an ardent BLM supporter, who defended the segregated event with a series of regressive analogies and outdated race-based identity politics (scroll down for the video).

Tucker: I was confused by this because I thought the whole point of BLM – one of the points would be to speak out against singling people out on the basis of their race and punishing them for that. Because you can’t control what your race is, and yet they seem to be doing that. Explain that to me?

#1 – White Privilege

Lisa: What I say to that is BOO HOO HOO… You white people are angry because you couldn’t use your White Privilege card to get invited to the Black Lives Matters all black memorial day celebration!

Tucker: Well, hold on… [she does not]

#2 – Memorial Day was created by former slaves

Lisa: Memorial day was created by black former slaves in 1865 to honor those individuals who were union soldiers who fought and died for our  freedoms. So Black Lives Matter in that same vein decided to get together with Black folks to make sure that Black folks are celebrated for being murdered by racist terrorists. If you’re mad at that, you just…. [mic cuts]

Tucker: I’m not mad at that – I just have a really simple question for you. If you don’t like people excluding others on the basis of their race. And as a society, we agree that’s bad – why are you defending that?

#3 – Every day is ‘White Day’

Lisa: White folks crack me up… all of the sudden when ‘we’ want one day for black folks to focus on ourselves – but you’ve been having White Day forever!

#4 – Hollywood is racist

Lisa: You’ve had an all white Oscars, all these movies with all white actors – movie after movie after movie, all white TV shows with white casts over and over and over again.

Tucker: I hope you’re not speaking for anyone else. What you’re saying is SO hostile and separatist and crazy. It’s such a basic violation of what I thought we all agree on – which is that you don’t attack people for things you don’t control – namely their race.

#5 – White people are like unruly children at a wedding

Lisa: People give weddings where they exclude children. It doesn’t mean they don’t like children – they don’t know if your kids are gonna be monsters… So in that same vein, black lives matter decided to have one day where they didn’t want white folks that were gonna be off the rails. They don’t know if you’re gonna be behaved.

Stay your asses out! We wanna celebrate today. We don’t want anybody going against us today.”

Tucker: And you can’t celebrate if someone that doesn’t look like you is around? You’re demented, actually. You’re sick. And what you’re saying is disgusting. And if you were a NAZI [Lisa: Ooooh!] I would say the same thing to you. Because what you’re saying is indistinguishable. “I don’t care your opinions, I don’t care your views – your life experience – your intentions… All I care about is the way you look,” something that you can’t control. And on that basis alone I’m judging you…

I can’t believe I have to say that out loud!

#6 – America is an inherently racist society

Lisa:  Well unfortunately, when you have a racist society like America, you force individuals to come together collectively to make sure that they have a voice. And that’s unfortunate that the racism has caused people to come together collectively.

Tucker then asks Durden if there’s a single White person in America that she’d let into the event. Perhaps realizing what a total racist she’d been for the last 7 minutes, she distances herself from the BLM decision.

Lisa: Now I’m not Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter is a movement. However, however, however – I can respect the decision. It doesn’t mean it’s the decision I would have made. Maybe I would have. Just like a wedding where I might say your kids can’t bring their bad asses at my wedding!

Tucker: Children are not an ethnic group.

Qatar Given 24 Hour Ultimatum By Saudi Arabia To Meet 10 Conditions – OR ELSE!

Days after Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt cut off diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar and launched a Naval blockade over ‘funding terrorism and supporting Iran,’ Saudi Arabia gave the small gulf nation 24 hours to fulfill 10 conditions that have been sent to Kuwait.

While the details have not been made public, rumor has it that one of Saudi Arabia’s demands is that Qatar sever all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas – both considered terrorist organizations by international bodies.

More from ZeroHedge:

While there was little additional information on the Ultimatum and more importantly what happens should Qatar not comply, Al Jazeera reported that Kuwait’s emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, left Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after holding mediation talks with the Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz to try to defuse an escalating crisis between Arab countries and Qatar. No details were given on the talks.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, analyst Giorgio Cafiero of Gulf State Analytics, a geopolitical risk consultancy based in Washington, DC, said: “I think the Kuwaitis as well as Omanis … fear the prospects of these tensions escalating in ways which could undermine the interest of all six members of the GCC.

“There are many analysts who believe that a potential break-up of the GCC has to be considered right now.”

“If these countries fail to resolve their issues and such tensions reaches new heights, we have to be very open to the possibility of these six Arab countries no longer being able to unite under the banner of one council,” said Cafiero.

He added that if tension escalates, some have warned of a “military confrontation”.

FAKE NEWS?

This massive shunning is the result of a broadcast which Qatar claims was a hack of their state-run news agency in order to misrepresent the Emir as a backer of radical Islam – whereby a tape was played of Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani speaking with no audio, while ‘hacked’ captions containing for his support of terrorism and Iran scrolled across the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

After the broadcast, Saudi Arabia and the UAE blocked Qatari news organization Al-Jazeera last week.

DAMAGE CONTROL

Recall the Wikileaks email in which Hillary Clinton tells John Podesta that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were giving ‘clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups.’

Well – it looks like the plan is to throw Qatar under the bus in order to elevate Saudi Arabia’s status. Israel has assembled a coalition to go fight ISIS / Terrorism / Iran – which includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.

Look! Trump hates Qatar too!

HACKING UP THE TRUCK?

As iBankCoin previously reported: CNN is now reporting that the siege of Qatar, implemented by Saudi Arabia, is the result of fake news stories planted by strong as shit Russian programmers, raping Qatar’s state run news agency, which caused Saudi Arabia to starve the people of Qatar to death.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d guess Qatar just reversed course on some kind of international shakedown and is now playing ball. Why else the sudden shift to MUH RUSSIANS?

VIDEO: Piers Morgan Bitchslaps London Mayor Sadiq Kahn Into Space

London Mayor and actual defender of terrorists, Sadiq Kahn, went on Good Morning Britain Tuesday with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid to discuss Jihadi terrorists pouring into the UK. Kahn tried to weasel out of the notion that Britain – the most surveilled country in the world – can’t keep track of 400 Jihadis…

Susanna Reid: How are you letting people back in to the UK who haven’t just been trained – they’ve actually fought, potentially against our troops…  Where are they? You’re the mayor of this capitol city!

Kahn: With respect.. I can’t follow 400 people, what I can do is make sure—

Morgan: Why can’t you instruct the police, and say every one of those people that have come back from a war zone is in London, I want them followed?

Kahn: Cause the police budget, roughly speaking, 15-20% is funded by me, the mayor. The rest is from Central Government. The net police government has been shrunk and reduced. They’ve got to prioritize…

Morgan:What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with intent to harm British citizens? Why is it not the number one priority? Why are these people allowed to come back in?

NSA Leaker ‘Reality Winner’ Feels Like A Ham-Handed PsyOp

So much doesn’t add up about NSA leaker Reality Winner…

The 25 year 0ld former US Air Force #NeverTrumper (born Sarah Winner) with a top secret security clearance and a very public anti-Trump presence on Social Media gets a job with NSA contractor Pluribus International and starts work in a Georgia NSA facility February 13th.

May 5th – the date the leaked document was allegedly created, detailing what the NSA claims are the results of an investigation into Russian election hacking based on new information received in April. The report is weak sauce – spend 5 minutes and read it… There is zero evidence of Russian hacking or influence – only a thinly supported narrative about an alleged spear phishing campaign and it’s potential victims.

On May 9th, four days later – Winner printed, removed, and snail mailed this top secret classified intel which offerings absolutely zero proof to support it’s claims to The Intercept.

May 30th – The Intercept contacts a ‘government agency’ to let them know about the documents mailed to them by the rogue NSA contractor.  The online magazine then proceeds to throw Winner under the bus by giving the NSA / FBI information which they used to easily identify her.

June 4th –  Suddenly retiring rising star family man) Jason Chaffetz says he wants to see leakers ‘in handcuffs.’

June 5th – The Intercept publishes a report ‘confirming’ Russia hacked the election.

An hour after The Intercept publishesthe FBI arrests Winner

Some observations:

  • It’s hard to believe the NSA hires contractors who would fail to properly vet and weed out a radicalized 25 year old political activist with Top Secret clearance who changed her name to ‘Reality’ and spouts aggressive rhetoric against a sitting President over social media.
  • Was Winner set up?
  • While it appears the Intercept totally fucked Winner over, given Glen Greenwald’s experience with the Snowden leaks they should be experts at operational security. For them to hand over identifying information to the NSA was either intentional or incompetence. A third option is that perhaps the US Government was able to successfully threaten The Intercept.
  • Could the report itself have been an internal psyop meant to ensure employee loyalty?

Let’s look at what Winner’s ‘leak’ accomplishes:

  • Shifts the ‘Russian Hacking’ narrative away from the alleged DNC server breach and the report by ‘tainted’ cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. It allows the ‘deep state’ to maintain the assertion that Russia literally ‘meddled in the election’ with an actual hack via phishing scam.
  • The leak addresses the growing credibility problem with ‘anonymous sources.’
  • Conservatives are tearing Reality Winner apart; from her SJW online footprint to her tattoos to her autographed Anderson Cooper photo – the right is showing no mercy, and the MSM will likely spin this as the ‘hypocritical and abusive right denigrates Bernie Sanders supporting leaker.
  • Perhaps by design, Trump supporters may turning Winner a hero to the leftlegitimizing her leak in the process.
  • Seth who? Rising nationalism in response to terrorism where?

Furthermore, I’m sure the weak minded will be in a moral quandary once the MSM is done with this; to those on the right and the left, how does ‘evil’ (or hero) Reality Winner’s leak differ from ‘hero’ (or random victim) Seth Rich’s leaks?

For starters, Winner’s leak is the same brand of unverifiable horse shit we’re being asked to trust again vs. undisputed DKIM verified emails exposed by Wikileaks which revealed vast corruption. That doesn’t matter though – the leaks will likely be spun as equivalent by the MSM.

At the end of the day, Reality Winner just risked 10 years in prison for leaking documents which offer zero proof of Russian hacking.

Weirdo NSA Contractor Arrested After Leaking Top Secret ‘Russian Hacking’ Doc To The Intercept

A Trump-hating 25 year old Federal contractor was arrested Monday after leaking a Top Secret document to The Intercept which claims that Russian Military Intelligence “executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials days before [the] election.”

The NSA document dated May 5th claims a recent investigation found that Russia staged a ‘months-long’ cyber-warfare effort against the U.S. election and voting infrastructure after information obtained by the NSA in April 2017 warranted opening a case.

The Intercept claims the report is ‘the most detailed U.S. government account of Russian interference in the election that has yet come to light,’ and it reveals a pervasive effort by the GRU.

The report indicates that Russian hacking may have penetrated further into U.S. voting systems than was previously understood. It states unequivocally in its summary statement that it was Russian military intelligence, specifically the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, that conducted the cyber attacks described in the document

Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate actors … executed cyber espionage operations against a named U.S. company in August 2016, evidently to obtain information on elections-related software and hardware solutions. … The actors likely used data obtained from that operation to … launch a voter registration-themed spear-phishing campaign targeting U.S. local government organizations. –The Intercept

How it led to Reality Leigh Winner…

The Intercept, co-founded by Edward Snowden leak conduit Glen Greenwald, sent the document back to the NSA for verification – which is apparently how they identified Winner as the leaker. (full affidavit)

The Dept. of Justice has issued a statement (see here)

Winner is a contractor with Pluribus International Corporation assigned to a U.S. government agency facility in Georgia. She has been employed at the facility since on or about February 13, and has held a Top Secret clearance during that time. On or about May 9, Winner printed and improperly removed classified intelligence reporting, which contained classified national defense information from an intelligence community agency, and unlawfully retained it. Approximately a few days later, Winner unlawfully transmitted by mail the intelligence reporting to an online news outlet.

That would of course be The Intercept…

Once investigative efforts identified Winner as a suspect, the FBI obtained and executed a search warrant at her residence. According to the complaint, Winner agreed to talk with agents during the execution of the warrant. During that conversation, Winner admitted intentionally identifying and printing the classified intelligence reporting

What do we know about the leaker?

Reality Leigh Winner has a weird fucking name. Actually, it’s Sara Winners and she changed it to Reality… She’s also a huge anti-Trumper.

She’s a former US Air Force linguist who speaks at least four languages

She called President Trump a ‘piece of shit.’

She has defended the White Helmets in Syria (wolves in sheep’s clothing)

She has an autographed picture of Anderson Cooper

She has weird ass evil looking tattoos

Instead of seeking asylum in Russia, Winner was a loser and didn’t cover her tracks. In fact, she seems like a fucking moron.

Based Bilderberg Protester Lays Out Path To Dollar Destruction

A secretive group of 131 elite power brokers met last weekend at the heavily guarded Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia for the highly secretive annual Bilderberg meeting.

Established in 1954 by Polish political advisor Józef Retinger – founder of the European Movement which gave birth to the EU, the informal meeting of over 130 of the world’s top bankers, politicians, spymasters, and titans of industry has been referred to as the world’s largest lobbying event. (guest list)

In addition to barring the press from the invitation-only meeting, participants are under strict rules regarding conduct:

“No minutes will be taken. No reporters will be allowed in. There will be no opening press conference, no closing statement, and participants will be asked not to quote each other,” –Independent.uk

Redpilled Nation

Thanks to the explosive growth of alternative media, the public has been able to educate themselves on topics such as high level collusion, MSM propaganda, the mechanics of debt, ISIS, globalism, the bottomless pit of ongoing conflict and regime change.

As a result of this ‘redpilling,’ a growing number of activists around the world have been making the journey to Bilderberg meetings to protest the meetings – which has even attracted the attention of the MSM in recent years. In fact, according to InfoWars, this year’s Bilderberg was the most covered in history.

Based Trump supporter

To that end, independent Journalist Jack Posobiec ran into a gentleman, identified only as a Trump supporter, who spoke his mind about the ’70 year old regime’ established after WWII which created NATO and standardized global trade to revolve around US Dollar as the reserve currency.

According to the man, the ‘Atlanticists’ (a.k.a. Western globalists) are in big trouble – and so is the future of the US Dollar.

[an aside regarding Atlanticists: The DNC hired Crowdstrike to cobble together the Hacking report used as evidence in the Russian influence investigation. Notably, Crowdstrike founder Dmitri Alperovitch sits on the Atlantic Council along with loose-lipped DNC operative Evelyn Farkas and a Ukrainian oligarch who’s also a Clinton Foundation donor that apparently owns the Ukrainian gas company Joe Biden’s son is on the board of.]

According to based Trump supporter, the West needs to get with the program and acknowledge ‘Eurasian Sovereignty’ and China’s evolving trade agreements with nations around the world as part of their “One Belt One Road” (or OBOR) economic plan (Of note – the Trump administration sent a delegation to the OBOR summit held three weeks ago).

The man then discussed the USA’s immense national debt, and while he may have made a small mistake remembering CBO projections on interest paid to the Federal reserve – he’s absolutely right about several things which iBankCoin and ZeroHedge readers are no stranger to; Federal Debt is out of control and is set to become one of the Govt’s largest expenditures.

Furthermore, the US Fed has been able to print money with near impunity because of its enormous GDP, as well as an ongoing synthetic demand for US Dollars due to it’s status as the global reserve. With more and more canaries coughing and sputtering in the coal mine of Western finance, however, it’s obvious that debt-fueled economic expansion and the US Dollar are in big trouble.

So what can we do about it?

With the USD’s reserve status being actively undermined, and despite several attempts to maintain it’s luster – based Bilderberg protestor says the United States needs to get in on OBOR before it’s too late.

 

If the American people were smart, they would ask to get in on OBOR, and what would be the best way? President Vladimir Putin proposed a project digging a tunnel from Siberia to Alaska– and having a railroad and infrastructure and highways connecting the two. Then we’d be linked to OBOR. We would be part of that economy.

That project would be kind of like what the Panama Canal was 100 years ago that connected two great oceans….

And while joining OBOR may not solve the problem of US Federal debt, systemic risk from derivatives, or an enormous budget deficit – exploring more efficient trade and strengthened Eurasian relationships may make for a smoother transition into a post Bretton-woods regime.

Qatar Stock Exchange Plunges 8% After Saudis, Egypt, Bahrain & UAE Cut Diplomatic Ties

Days after President Trump’s visit and hours after the annual Bilderberg meeting let out, the Qatar stock exchange plunged over 8 percent in trading after news broke that Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt cut off diplomatic ties over accusations of Qatar ‘spreading chaos,’ by ‘funding terrorism and supporting Iran.’

The countries cutting ties have shut down all land, sea, and air crossings with the tiny energy-rich nation that has the highest per capita income in the world, and Qatari visitors and residents have two weeks to leave – while diplomats have just 48 hours.

With $335 billion in its sovereign wealth fund and it’s extensive port facilities, it looks like Qatar can avoid immediate economic crisis.

Does this hinge on fake news?

This massive shunning is the result of a broadcast which Qatar claims was a hack of their state-run news agency in order to misrepresent the Emir as a backer of radical Islam – whereby a tape was played of Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani speaking with no audio, while ‘hacked’ captions containing for his support of terrorism and Iran scrolled across the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

After the broadcast, Saudi Arabia and the UAE blocked Qatari news organization Al-Jazeera last week.

Amid Qatar’s denials, Saudi-owned satellite television networks immediately began airing repeated stories about the disputed comments. By early Wednesday morning, those living in the UAE and subscribers to local cable providers couldn’t access the channels of Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite broadcaster based in the Qatari capital, Doha.

Attempts to reach its websites brought up a warning from the UAE’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority saying the site “contains content that is prohibited.”

In Saudi Arabia, internet users also found Al-Jazeera websites blocked with a warning from the kingdom’s Culture and Information Ministry.

WaPo

Why this, why now? One thought is that Saudi Arabia has had a PR problem ever since the 2016 US election. In addition to egregious human rights abuses and massive donations to the Clinton Foundation paraded under the spotlight, the house of Saud was exposed by Wikileaks in an email sent from Hillary Clinton to John Podesta – along with Qatar – for providing ‘clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.’ Remember, in another timeline Hillary was supposed to have won, those WikiLeaks were never meant to see the light of day, and that Saudi / Qatar pipeline was supposed to be built.

And now Israel has assembled a coalition to go fight ISIS / Terrorism / Iran – which includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. Fine – but even with an acquiescent Donald Trump as US President, it still leaves a huge PR problem for Saudi Arabia considering what we know about them.

So, Qatar goes down

Since Saudi Arabia is all good with the West – human rights abuses and all, it looks like the plan is to isolate Qatar as the lone supporter of terrorism in the region and an ally to Iran.

I wonder what this means for the relationship between the United States and Qatar? We have forces stationed at Al Udeid Air Base in West Doha – which is home to the forward headquarters of US Central Command (USCC) and the USAF Central Command (USAFCC).

CNN Caught Staging Fake News? Network Trots Out Muslims To Feign Outrage After London Attacks [updated]

Update: CNN Responds Below

Update 2: Same protestors, multiple locations?

Being one of the more inept tentacles of the deep state, CNN was apparently caught staging Fake News in the aftermath of the ISIS claimed London attacks which claimed 7 lives and injured 48.

While ISIS supporters are celebrating the attacks, MSM propagandists have been hard at work pushing the “religion of peace” narrative – trotting out hijabbed women and a child to hold signs expressing Muslim outrage at the terrorist attacks.

This doesn’t appear to have been an ‘organic’ protest against terrorism. Instead, it looks very much like CNN staged their outrage.

Check it out…

UK TERRORIZED: Multiple Casualties In London Bridge Van Attack, Stabbings and Gunfire

Update:

Original

At least two people are confirmed dead and multiple injured following what appear to be coordinated acts of terrorism in the UK at two central London landmarks. In the first attack, a van driven by a gang of five terrorists plowed into a crowd at London Bridge shortly after 10PM, then jumped out and began attacking people with knives. The gang was seen stabbing a man in the chest five times before trying to break into a London Bridge pub before being gunned down by police.

Minutes later, there was a second incident at Borough Market in which three men were seen stabbing people – and an hour later, Metropolitan police responded to a stabbing in the Vauxhall area.

The attacks come nearly two weeks after a blast killed 22 concertgoers in Manchester and a warning from PM Theresa May that another attack ‘may be imminent.
