Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson painted a grim picture of how the US government operates in the 2138th episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, particularly when it comes to how Members of Congress interact with intel agencies.
Carlson told Rogan, “Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that, including people who run the intel committee.”
Why are they afraid? Well, one of the reasons, Carlson mentioned, is because they’re terrified that the intel agencies will frame them and ruin their careers and reputations forever by planting child pornography on their computers. “People don't say... they're worried about being punished. They’re worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer.”
But it’s what Carlson said next that was even more revealing.

“I said to somebody, a very powerful person, the other day, in a conversation in my kitchen, an elected official — holds a really senior position… But I was like, ‘All these people are controlled. They’ve all got weird s*x lives, and all these things they’re hiding, and they’re being blackmailed by the intel agencies.’ And he said, and I’m quoting, ‘I know.’ I was like, okay, so at this point, we’re just sort of admitting that’s real? Like, why do we allow that to continue?”
Recently, the US House and Senate reauthorized Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for two years, expanding the federal government’s power to spy on Americans without a warrant. If you were baffled as to why American representatives would pass such an intrusion on taxpayers' privacy, now you may have a better understanding.
Carlson added that such coercing behaviors by the intel agencies are “not compatible with democracy.”
“Democracy is a really simple system, even representative democracy like ours. The people rule. They do so through elections. They express their preference through voting. They send their people to the capital city to run the government on their behalf. Whenever you have unelected people who are not accountable to anyone making the biggest decisions, you don't have a democracy, you have something else, another system. I would call it a tyranny.”
WE DO NOT HAVE A DEMOCRACY FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Our founders hated the democracy (mob rule) form of government. I am so sick of people using Democracy and America in the same sentence.
"Why do we allow that to continue?"
Because no decent person is in charge anymore. The systems allows only selfish scumbags to rise to the top. Decent people starting at the bottom get either corrupted, blackmailed or get out before there soul is destroyed. It is systematic.
The system itself is now more powerful than the people working in it. I can't see how the current system can ever be reformed successfully. It seems everything has to collapse first and a fresh start under a new paradigm will bring back decency one day.
This will take decades if not centuries. Accepting that, frees up our energies that are concerned with this and can redirect our energies to what really matters: To find our real self and the happiness and contentness that comes with that.
The materalistic-scientific-greed-and-power path is stuck in a dead end and will die. Let it die. It's ok. I don't need it.
