David Icke: The Cult is brilliant at manipulating perception…
The Cult is brilliant at manipulating perception - it's the foundation of their control - and they would have well KNOWN what effect Murdoch's Fox sacking of Carlson would have had on his popularity within the 'alternative'. It was a gimme. The knowledge of what sacking Carlson would do for his profile would have been a child's play level of insight for them - like obvious – and by then Cult gofer Musk was installed at Twitter to give him a much bigger platform massively algorithmically boosted. The goal was not to 'silence' Carlson as claimed here, but to amplify him as the old alternative media was hijacked by mainstreamers and their fellow travellers. If you think only in black and white and see only 'sides' you’ve already lost the perceptual plot. The Cult is far more subtle than that, but with Carlson it didn't need to be so clear was the cause and effect that would play out - as it so predictably has. Personally, I wouldn't trust Carlson, who did so much to get Trump elected, to tell me the time in a roomful of clocks. Look at the Carlson Fox internal communications that made it plain that he knew what Trump was, but publicly backed him anyway. Now we are supposed to take his apology for doing so at face value along with all the other former MAGA 'influencers'? Not a chance. Trump biographer Michael Wolff who has known Carlson for 25 years said he liked him, but: 'Tucker is one of the biggest opportunists I have ever met.' Wolff's advice: 'Always look where the opportunists are going.' Exactly.
