Former NATO official: Tucker Carlson exposes Americans to Marxist-Leninist Propaganda

I’m quoting his tweets for discussion purposes:
LINK
quote:
It is important for our American friends who watch Tucker Carlson to understand that Mr. Carlson is, in fact, exposing them to Marxist-Leninist propaganda that is *identical* to the anti-American propaganda of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
quote:
It is to the enormous discredit of Fox News that it allows such poisonous political subversion to be injected directly into the minds of American viewers.
quote:
The headline shown, "DC war machine is itching for another conflict", is what pro-Moscow agents all over the world are pumping out - with the only difference that, outside the U.S., the message would be "American war machine is itching for another conflict".
quote:
But there is no difference of course. Moscow is busy with an imperialist war of aggression against a free nation, Ukraine, that had the temerity of leaving the Russian empire. America stands for freedom and for law & order in the world: that's why America opposes Russia.
quote:
But Russia is afraid of losing, and so it needs to demoralise and confuse public opinion in America and in the West more broadly. Moscow's goal is to convince other countries to stop helping Ukraine, so that Moscow can crush it more easily.
quote:
So the technique is to deploy pro-Moscow agitators who use Marxist-Leninist "analyses" of foreign policy. What are its components? -Redirect the attention away from the reality of Russia and China being threatening and somehow argue it's all America's fault, when it isn't
quote:
Instead of telling the evident truth, namely that Russia invading Ukraine is of course 100% Russia's fault, create a twisted upside-down story to blame America instead. That's like blaming the police for murders committed by a serial killer that they're trying to stop.
quote:
Claim that everything the U.S. does in its foreign policy is driven by the "military-industrial complex". This is old Soviet propaganda, designed to ensure America made less weapons, while Moscow made more! It was that simple.
quote:
Soviet slogans were designed to be a mix of lies and half-truths, just enough so they don't sound 100% wrong. But when you encounter a message that tells you to oppose your own country, always ask this: "what is this political message designed to achieve?"
quote:
Another goal is to soft-talk the audience into accepting the goals of foreign powers as understandable and believing that America and the West should just step aside. Let the threats grow! Let hostile foreign empires become more powerful! Step aside while they expand!
quote:
The reality is this. America led the Free World during the Cold War, in direct opposition to the same two giant tyrannical monsters - Russia and China - that we have to deal with today.
quote:
Real conservative and patriotic leaders of that era, such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, stood firm and had no hesitation in confronting both Moscow and Beijing. It is to their example we must turn today to face the rebooted versions of the same old threats.

The last 20 years of America's foreign policy refutes everything this guy just said

This LWO NATO official is 180 degrees out of phase with reality......said differently...straight up Gaslighting on a global level.

some of the most truth they will find compared to any other media outlet

The same folks who mocked Sen. McCarthy and laughed at the idea of The Red Scare are now attacking actual patriots.

The problem here isn't Tucker, nor "pro-Moscow agents". It's that the DC war machine appears to be by their actions... itching for another conflict. If they don't want to be accused of it... they should stop acting like it.

Modern cancel culture, sketchy elections and the current state of most major American cities should not be used as data points.

A better example of Marxist propaganda is, after the appearance of a Chinese spy balloon over the continental US, msn.com running the headline
“Chinese backpeddling after embarrassing balloon incident”
Which does not hammer the Democratic US Presidential administration or its Dept of Defense, or the communist party of China.

Glenn Greenwald

·Feb 3
A key spokesman and architect of the prior generation's worst hoax (Iraqi WMDs and a Saddam/Al-Qaeda alliance) rises to defend this generation's most pathetic hoax (Trump and the Kremlin conspired, Putin controlled Trump, etc.) Always the same people, doing the same things:
Glenn Greenwald
@ggreenwald
Note how the same chronic liars always end up rising in media.
David Frum was easily one of the key officials in the Bush WH spreading Iraq lies in 2002. One of the media's key figure doing that was @JeffreyGoldberg, then at The @NewYorker. Now they're together at @TheAtlantic.

Well, I will say this, if there’s anyone else out there whose more of an expert on Marxist-Leninist propaganda it’s a former NATO official.
