1 An unregistered foreign agent. Foreign agents are legal and many exist. But you must register so everyone knows who you are and can avoid you.

4 What's the likelihood that the Trump admin used Carlson as a vector to feed disinformation to the Mullahs that ultimately got Khamenei et al killed?

Trump should preemptively pardon Carlson and maybe even award him a medal for his contribution.

6 ^I've a simpler approach: spread a rumor that Tucker's maternal grandmother was Jewish.

7 ^^Use Candace Owens to spread that rumor.

8 ^ Or Tucker has just gone insane. I figure the odds be 50-50.

Personally, I suspect the Juice had more to do with the Ayatollah getting waxed than Carlson. Tricksy as hobbits, they are!

9 Ref #5
So the rapid movement of Tucker's point of view towards Mecca is actually reflective of his establishment as an dis-information conduit as well as an intel asset? Framing him as such may well make it so even if it's not. Perception is easily reality in the Wilderness of Mirrors!

12 The comment I saw at AoS... when Iran started attacks on Qatar, "Who gets Tucker in the divorce?"

14 And does he realize that his paymasters will despise him for not changing sides as ordered fast enough now that the time has come?

15 Facebook Reel: Syrian-Jewish immigrant American lawyer suggests that the CIA would not admit to targetting Mr. Carlson because that is illegal, and therefore it’s logical to assume his texts were picked up by the CIA because he was contacting a target of their legitimate investigation in Iran, during which he said something he should not have, perhaps something mentioned by his son, who works for VP JD Vance.

Also, the Syrian-Jewish, etc. gentleman is really funny.
