Tucker Carlson asked Joe Kent why the Thomas Crooks surveillance tapes haven’t been released.

Kent’s answer blew him away.

He explained the government deliberately withholds information to create noise with conspiracy theories, so the “actual question never gets answered.”

TUCKER: “The current president was the subject of a near-successful assassination attempt.”

“And we’re just not going to look into very obviously or divulge information that everyone knows they have.”

“For example, the surveillance tape from the shooting range at which Thomas Crooks trained, because it would answer the question, was he training with somebody?”

“And if so, who? They have that footage, and they won’t release it. What could possibly be the explanation for that?”

KENT: “I know what the result is. The result is people come to their own conclusions. And this is where crazy conspiracy theories come from.”

“And then those conspiracy theories usually are easy to ‘debunk’ or make the people saying them sound crazy. So then the actual question never gets answered.”

[Tucker laughs in awe]

TUCKER: “Sorry. Can you say that for people who haven’t lived in Washington?”

“I try to explain this to people all the time because this has been ongoing since at least the Kennedy assassination.”

“But this is a very serious and recurring thing. It’s a tactic. And you just explained it better than anyone I’ve ever heard. Can you just do that again?”

KENT: “So basically, you give no information whatsoever on something that’s obvious, that there should be information.”

“You outlined there’s potentially footage of Crooks at the shooting range. Again, police, 101, go get the tapes. Let’s figure it out.”

“If you don’t want to address that question, then you just go silent. You say, ‘you can’t ask that question,’ which then creates people who come out of kind of nowhere, and they start drawing their own conclusions.”

“Knowing the way the internet works, half of them, if not more, are probably going to be so far off in left field... that then you can just be like, Oh, these people asking these questions about that tape at the video range. Crazy conspiracy theorists.’”

“And so then you’ve just diverted all attention away from the thing that you’re trying to conceal. And now everyone’s focused on the crazies.”

TUCKER: “Man.”

KENT: “And then the second someone asks a legitimate question, they’re ‘crazy.’”

এই বছরে ভোট দেওয়ার নিয়মটা একটু আলাদা — আপনি একজনকে না, বরং পাঁচজনকে র‍্যাঙ্ক করতে পারেন!

This year, voting is a little different — you don’t just pick one person, rather you can rank up to five!

আপনার পছন্দের প্রার্থীকে #1 অবস্থান দিন (জোহরান মামদানি), তারপর বাকি ব্যালটটা পূরণ করুন — যাতে আপনার ভোটটি অপচয় না হয়।
Give your favorite candidate the #1 spot (Zohran Mamdani), and fill out the rest of your ballot — so that your vote isn't wasted.

Amar mayor! Tomar mayor! 🇧🇩

From Parkchester to Jackson Heights, Bangladeshi New Yorkers have been showing up for this campaign from day one — and I’m proud to have their support.

People speaking out against the Israel-Iran war:
Marjorie Taylor Green
Tucker Carlson
Alex Jones
Steve Bannon
Matt Gaetz

People who are silent:
Obama
Biden
Hillary
Kamala

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

At this dangerous moment in history, status quo politics isn’t good enough.

We need new leadership that is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests & fight for the working class. 

@ZohranKMamdani is providing that vision. He is the best choice for NYC mayor.

If America does regime change in Iran, it won't be for the first time. We also did it in the 1950s. The CIA hired mobsters, paid protesters, and generously doled out bribes to facilitate a military coupe overthrowing then-prime minister Mohammed Mosaddegh.

Mossadegh was, maybe, a bit pro-Soviet. His replacement, the shah, was secular and pro-American. But the long-term outcome of that coup was disastrous. When Islamic radicals toppled the shah 26 years later, they had an incandescent hatred for America. The negative consequences of 45 years of antagonism with Iran outweigh whatever good we got from the Shah a hundred times over.

And that's how it's been with most of our regime change efforts. Toppling Saddam Hussein gave us a forever war and ISIS and emboldened Iran. Toppling the Taliban gave us a forever war that ended with the Taliban back in power. Toppling Libya gave us slave markets in Tripoli and a vastly worse European migrant crisis.

Regime change wars almost never go the way they're expected to, and can easily make things far worse at tremendous cost. That's exactly why war should only be a last resort, when absolutely necessary.

History is running in reverse, with the opposite outcome this time.

In 1991 the internet frontier opened; in 1890 the American frontier closed.

Today China is the senior partner in the Russia/China relationship; in the past it was the other way around.

And now we see Indian- and Pakistani-origin politicians debating the partition of Britain, whereas in the past it was British-origin men presiding over the partition of India and Pakistan.

I can’t fully explain this phenomenon, but I believe it’s caused in part by increased centralization going into 1950, and then rapid technological decentralization since then.

I collect many examples of the pattern here: https://t.co/kj1r1lLg3t

@nirjhorrahman So sad. Seems like simple stuff!

@AaronSchumm I know what you mean bro. Our children’s health makes everything else seem almost meaningless. I hope everything turns out OK. Let me know if you ever need an ear. Am thinking about you and your family and sending goodwill and good wishes.

[The Wolf Of All Streets @scottmelker]

Get out of the echo chamber.

What is happening has nothing to do with crypto. The government is not crashing banks to stop Bitcoin. We are not that important.

Which means…

This is much bigger. The actual system is teetering on the edge of collapse.

And this is EXACTLY WHY we have always needed Bitcoin.

ugh fine here is my SVB thread:

TL;DR: at this point, to be certain of avoiding catastrophe, the FDIC needs to temporarily guarantee all deposits. other solutions might work, but this is the best one.

1/3: Have you ever been to a slum? Do you ever wonder how its residents get on day after day without running water or electricity?

In Bangladesh, over 60% of the urban population lives in slums such as Dhaka’s Korail Basti - a staggering statistic .

[Misha Ali (m1sha.eth) @mishaali]

2/3 It's clear that slums will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the socioeconomic landscape of cities throughout the developing world, and it's crucial founders and entrepreneurs from the region support their development to enable their access to basic human rights.
