Deplatforming Is Back

On Monday, I looked at my phone and saw the message, “They got Tucker.” Apparently the whole world knew that Tucker Carlson had been fired from Fox just a few minutes after Tucker himself. We still don’t know the cause. It is probably complicated. Tucker made a lot of enemies telling uncomfortable truths about the Great Replacement, big pharma, the January 6th hoax, and countless other evils and follies. But we do know who benefits and who is gored. The victors are the globalist elites who control America. The victims are the American people.


We also know who is crowing about it: 



In case you don’t know, Jonathan Greenblatt leads an anti-white, anti-American organization known as the Anti-Defamation League. Two years ago, the ADL called for Carlson’s firing because he challenged Greenblatt to defend the ADL’s double-standards on replacement level immigration in the US compared to Israel.


The ADL blog post he read on air is no longer accessible on the ADL’s website, but it’s preserved in this segment, somehow still available on YouTube, and now here too just in case they take it down tomorrow:


With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protections. In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically – and potentially physically – vulnerable. It is unrealistic and unacceptable to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory. [Fox News, “Tucker fires back at criticism over immigration, voting comments,” April 12, 2021]


This is a perfectly sensible position. Referring to the Democrats’ push to replace the electorate with immigrants who vote Democrat, he questioned why this same reasoning didn’t apply to the US:


Why would any democratic nation make its own citizens less powerful? Isn’t that the deepest betrayal of all? In the words of the ADL, why would a government subvert its own sovereign existence? Good question. Maybe ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt will join us sometime to explain, and tell us whether that same principle applies to the United States.


If you are angry about Tucker’s firing, take it up with Greenblatt. He clearly wants some of the credit, so he should take some of the blame.


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is also taking credit:
