After missing Wednesday’s episode (possibly because Fox News sent a letter accusing him of breach of contract), Tucker Carlson posted the second episode of his monologue show on Twitter Thursday.
In this episode, “Cling to your taboos,” Carlson describes how those who lead the country are able to shift public opinion by controlling what we are allowed to dislike.
Tucker used the example of how people were openly happy when convicted pedophile and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer died in prison in Wisconsin. He hurt children, so it was acceptable to celebrate his death.
Twenty-five years later, that standard had changed dramatically in the state of Wisconsin, as in the rest of the country. In the summer of 2020, during the BLM riots in Kenosha, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse defended his life from a convicted child molester called Joseph Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum was trying to kill Rittenhouse, so Rittenhouse shot him in self defense. But it was Joseph Rosenbaum whom the media cast as the victim of the story.
Kyle Rittenhouse, meanwhile, an underaged boy fending off violence from a child molester, was denounced as the villain. Ultimately he was indicted for murder.
How does that relate to today?
One of the things that this tells us is the people who run our country no longer see child molesters as the worst among us. That’s never been more obvious than it was yesterday when the Wall Street Journal ran a long expose about kiddie porn on Instagram. Instagram, the Journal found, “helps connect and promote a vast network of accounts openly devoted to the commission and purchase of underage sex content.” Instagram connects pedophiles and connects them to content sellers of child pornography. In one instance, the paper discovered that Instagram was recommending the phrase “incest toddlers” to users who’d expressed interest in similar material.
In response to the Wall Street Journal’s accurate story (there were no denials from Instagram or Mark Zuckerberg), nothing happened. Nothing at all.
Yet, 10 out of the 11 press releases the FBI’s Washington Field Office has issued this month relate to the events January 6, 2021. Priorities.
