i read somewhere that Tucker was fired for criticizing Fox management. Maybe he told them they were idiots for putting themselves in a position to have to hand Dominion $1B.

A comment on the article on Tucker's firing at legalinsurrection.com:

"I have a longtime friend at Fox News. He just texted me that Tucker was planning a segment to destroy the 60 Minutes Epps episode.
Exec Producer Jennifer Rauchet told him he couldn’t run the segment so he quit."

Yup, the stuff about Dominion has been a total distraction. They hated how he outed the Jan 6 nonsense story, and the Epps is the cherry on top about how communist OUR country is.

China is preparing for war with the West
Britain appears to be in wilful denial of the truth about China’s bellicose Communist regime

I'm glad I bought your books, John. You were right.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/ ... gniter-rhr

The Foreign Secretary’s Mansion House speech on China may go down in history, but for all the wrong reasons. In remarks released ahead of his set-piece address on Tuesday night, he urged China to come clean about its “biggest military build-up in peacetime”, warning of the risks of a “tragic miscalculation”. Yet, bizarrely, he also argued that Britain must continue to engage with China. “To give up on China would be to give up on addressing humanity’s biggest problems,” he stated.

It suggests that the British Government has learned nothing from the litany of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) lies and abuses exposed during the pandemic; from the fate of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong and Xinjiang; from Beijing’s crude imperialist ambitions to annex Taiwan, a de facto sovereign democracy; and from their crucial economic support for Vladimir Putin and his atrocities in Ukraine.


The CCP, a vastly wealthy, unelected gang of Marxist revolutionaries, is busily pursuing asymmetric warfare with the US and the rest of the free world, while building up arsenals of everything from drone swarms and lasers to nuclear warheads and hypersonic missiles capable of winning or forestalling full-on nuclear hostilities. The only reason one would acquire these weapons is the expectation of future confrontation with the West; it plainly shows who they perceive the real enemy to be.

“Peacetime” and “peaceful co-existence” are not in the Communist dictionary. Some commentators might argue that nuclear proliferation cannot be solved without China. But the CCP’s bid for world domination in place of the declining West is backed by massive nuclear proliferation. Can Britain alone alter this by continuing to “engage”?

The same disconnection from reality informs the notion that solving global warming requires cooperation with Beijing. Xi Jinping is heavily dependent on coal – his idea of cleaner energy involves geostrategic quantities of imported oil and gas from Russia and Iran. With Xi in power, the chances of a serious reduction in China’s emissions seem slim.

The British Government is also keen to emphasise the importance of working with China to prevent future pandemics. Yet when the Covid-19 outbreak started, the CCP deliberately ignored its obligations under the International Health Regulations, misleading the World Health Organisation about the fact of human-to-human transmission long enough for the virus to spread across the globe. The CCP still refuses to share vital Covid data, and there is every chance that the next pandemic will originate in China, and that the CCP will again try to cover it up.

In short: Britain appears to be in wilful denial of the ruthless truth of Xi’s regime.

And that’s before one even considers its brutality at home: years before their putsch in Hong Kong, Beijing assured a very senior UK visitor that torture was illegal in the Chinese judicial system. They did not respond when he handed them a Chinese police gazette recording hundreds of cases of torture the previous year in a single province.

Here and now, Xi and Putin are colluding to disunite and overthrow the democratic, law-based international order. To do so, they use everything from cyber and human espionage to bribery and influence operations, threats to key national infrastructure, “grey zone” operations, coercive diplomacy, theft of key military and security technologies, collusion with tyrannical regimes, subversion of international institutions to industrial-scale black propaganda and disinformation campaigns.

In the well-chosen words of Rishi Sunak, “China is consciously competing for global influence using all the levers of state power.” But despite the obvious implications of this statement, the British Government persists in a contradictory and weak approach to confronting the greatest security challenge the international community has ever faced.

Baudelaire was right: “The smartest ruse of the devil is persuading you that he doesn’t exist”. It’s time for a genuine policy refresh: one combining honest dialogue and a big stick.

What really has me concerned is that earlier this year, it was announced that BlackRock has increased its ownership position in Fox Corporation (FOXA).

This increase in stock ownership now means that Blackrock owns 15.1% of the Fox Corporation. They are the second largest owner, just after the Murdock family.

Now, the Family Trust Murdoch still owns 19% of the company, with other, smaller institutional investors owning the rest. The CEO of the Fox Corporation was Rupert Murdoch, but it is currently Lachlan Murdoch.

BUT with this increase in 2.7% of Fox Corp, it is clear that Blackrock is fast becoming a controlling entity in Fox Corporation.

Together, BlackRock and Vanguard own 18% of Fox (now almost 21%), 16% of CBS, 13% of Comcast — which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group, 12% of CNN, and 12% of Disney — which owns a number of subsidiaries. Media behemoths that may present themselves as rivals are, in reality, owned by the same company.

Good, let them destroy themselves.
