Mike Whitney – The Unz Review Sept 8, 2022
The last thing you’d ever expect to hear on a mainstream news channel, is the truth. But—strange as it might seem—that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday night on the Tucker Carlson Show. Carlson interviewed veteran journalist Glenn Greenwald in a 4-minute segment that provided the best ‘easy-to-understand’ summary of the Ukraine War you’ll hear anywhere. And what was so shocking about the interview, was how casually both men veered onto topics that are essential to grasping “How we got to where we are today” but which are entirely banned on all the other cable news channels. You are not allowed to know, for example, that Russia was “lured into the conflict in Ukraine”. That does not fit the script that has been passed-along from the Biden State Department to their lapdogs at the cable news stations. You’re also not allowed to know that the US does not fight wars “to spread democracy” or that “the US has no vital interests in Ukraine” or that “Russia is not really our enemy”. All of those topics are verboten. You’re not even allowed to think about these things, which is why– for the most part– they have been completely scrubbed from any-and-all discussion of foreign policy in the corporate media.
That’s what makes the segment with Greenwald such a stunner, because it’s 4 glorious minutes of pure, unvarnished truth delivered from a platform that typically only produces, lies, disinformation and propaganda. That’s why I transcribed the entire interview. Any mistakes are mine. Here it is:

Tucker Carlson– What bothers me is not so much what Zelensky is doing– there’ alot of tyranny abound the world (and) I don’t brood on it. But the fact that (a) we are paying for it, and (b) our leaders are defending it. I think every American should be upset about that.
Glenn Greenwald– “I think in general, Americans should be very skeptical when the government says ‘We’re going to fight wars on the other side of the world and spend tens of billions of dollars in military aid to spread democracy.’ The US government doesn’t actually care about spreading democracy. Many of its closest allies in the world have always been some of the world’s most despotic regimes like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. All the US government cares about is whether these regimes serve US interests. …If you want to believe the fairy tale that the US government goes to war to spread democracy, then Ukraine is not the place for you. You mentioned the argument that ‘Zelensky is in war, he has to curb liberty’, but go back to 2021, a year before Russia invaded and you’ll find articles where he shut down opposition television stations and shut down opposition political parties (which is) the hallmark of what every tyrant or despot does….and that was true even before Russia invaded.”
Tucker Carlson– I wonder how Republicans can continue to defend this (because) I think you are right; I think our foreign policy is almost always about defending our interests…. But I don’t see our critical interests at stake here, so, what is this about?
Glenn Greenwald– If the US government was honest… they would get rid of this script that we have to go and defend democracy. That is a fairy tale that tries to get Americans to feel better about the fact that we are involved in many, many countries all over the world. That is not the real reason. The only reason to do it is for ‘vital US interests’. The line in Washington for decades was the US has no vital interests in Ukraine. That was Obama’s view, that was the bipartisan view. Why did that change? The only reason is because we saw an opportunity to trap Russia inside Ukraine all based on the view that Russia is our enemy (which is) something only Democrats should believe because they think Russia is to blame for the 2016 election and Hillary’s defeat. But why would Republicans want confrontation with Russia? What American benefits from that except arms manufacturers? …
Tucker Carlson– That’s a really good question, and I haven’t unraveled it. (But) It seems pretty clear that the Biden administration baited Russia into this invasion. You had the Vice President (Kamala Harris) in western Europe days before telling Zelensky to join NATO which, of course, they knew was a red line (for Russia) They wanted this invasion, I think that’s very obvious. Do you think this was all about ‘preparing for war with Russia’?
Glenn Greenwald– If you think Russia is a grave enemy of the United States, then it makes sense to try to lure them into a war that they can’t win, like we got lured into Afghanistan for 20 years or like we lured the Soviet Union into Afghanistan back in the ’70s because it does deplete your enemy. The question is: Why should Russia be seen as our enemy? Both Obama and Trump said there’s no reason to see Russia that way. It has one-fifteenth the size of our military budget. It’s not threatening American borders. Why are we so obsessed with spending tens of billions of dollars to weaken Russia which we could be using here at home to benefit the lives of American citizens when Russia is not doing anything to the United States unless you are a crazy ‘resistance’ person who believes they’re the reason Donald Trump won. But if you don’t believe that, what is the rational for this? There is none.”
Tucker Carlson– “I know, and as always, they have hijacked the best instincts of the American people, their compassion, and turned it against them. Glenn Greenwald, great to see you tonight”.
Glenn and Tucker are two good eggs.
But there aren’t too many more. Also it’s not “the best instincts” that are being followed but rather FEAR. It’s the Russian boogyman again. He’s coming to get you, they’ll say. even though that’s the one thing Russia has never done.
Yes it’s good to see a few minutes of truth on TV. But are we so demoralized that a few minutes are all we can ever hope for? Not a pretty picture.
The Rothschild Khazar Mafia has a congenital, ancestral hatred for Orthodox Russia..Rep. Rankin said so and I believe him.
Hopefully you wont be fooled into beieving this tripe.
Greenwald is a ubiquitous jew who pops up everywhere including the Guardian which betrayed Assange (also a jew (.
incidently)
Its everything but the truth which is typical of this greasy jew.
NO mention of the obvious….all the leading players in Ukraine are MORE GREASY JEWS….this includes one of the Klitchko brother (boxing) who is the mayor of Keeeeev.
So far more likely this war has a jewish agenda….perhaps connected to Iran…..most likely they are secretly targeting the goyim in Ukraine…..the “best of the Goyim”…this will give the jew a compettive edge once the fighting stops……also Ukraine could become useful for siting missiles to target missiles from Iran to Israel….
So the goyim are dying in their droves right now,including Western mercenaries …..who are called things like “contractors”…..who are being paid for by American and British taxpayers.
Greenwald is suspected to be on the payroll of the intelligence services….and it is surprising The Troofseeker features him….all tings considered.
Auckland NZ has a new Jewish mayor…..he replaces the old jewish mayor…..only he appears to be dodgier.
He is proposing to sell off council assets…..people versed in what this really means will know to be on the alert……a potential jewish sell off of assets….often into jewish owned business.
The public will have to be on alert because the jewish owned and operated media certainly wont be reporting any “dubious” business practice!!.
The ghastly zio trolls in NZTV will still be smiling and giggling……..
The UnChristian piratical regimes in D.C. and Kiev are responsible for the death and destruction in Ukraine. They used the country to draw Russia into a war in the hope of removing Vladimir Putin.
They hijacked the best instincts of the American people, their compassion, and turned it against them?
To whatever extent democracy is an incubator for such virtues, then using democracy as a rationalization to get us militarily into other countries (and stay there—-800 military based in 80 countries) is possible only if these virtues have been vacated for materialism.
“Hijacking” these virtues and “turning it against them” is what happens when debt becomes death, and materialism becomes militarism to pay down that debt…
Greenwald exculpates Obama but wasn’t he President in 2014 when the seed of this war was planted by the U.S. State Department.
Putin interfered with their plans in Syria.
And whose plans are they?
The plans were predominately Zionist plans for the Zionist state.
Now I hear Russia and Iran are allied.
Things would have been so very different had Assad fallen. The Zionist state is now so much weaker.
It is completely artificial for Russia to be with China and not Europe; the latter goes up to the Urals, and, in a thinner line, to Vladivostok, but the global bankers slice up land into political blocs how they wish, and they do not divide it racially (because Whites would totally dominate)
“Why is Russia seen as our enemy?” You can go back even further, “why was Germany seen as our enemy in the 1930’s?” Let alone WW1? The real war criminals always behind the curtain – the unmentionables.
“Greenwald” “Why sohould America see Russia as an enemy”.
Putin declares he will crush the West
Crush the west https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11266851/Putin-declares-occupied-regions-Ukraine-Russia.html
Alxandr Dugin is the fascist mastermind https://web.archive.org/web/20160320123930/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ behind Putin’s Eurasia illusion: a new world order with a Eurasian union from Lisbon to Vladivostock. He is credited by the US CFR with being Putin’s brain and Rasputin

Tucker Carlson and Greenwald betray a fundamentall ignorance.
They understand neither Putin nor the Russians nor the Dugin-Putin plan for Eurasia und Russian Hegemony.
The following shows that the West and Ukraine has crushed Putin´s Eurasian hegemony plan: The Ukrainians have maimed Putins army and shown it is a colossus on clay feet – just as Putin´s own position now. That army will not be able to conquer Europe in a foreseeable future, only destroy it (and Russia itself) in a nuclear war – just to satisfy the ambitions and hybris of one schizo-affected, cancer-doomed psychopath. And a European-Russian Union was brutally crushed by Putin´s invasion o Ukraine in 2 phases (2014 and 2022)
Putin`s brainwashed, Communist, brutal KGB/FSB soul has been elaborated by his mentor and “Rasputin”, Aleksandr Dugin, the instigator of the 2 attacks on Ukraine.
Dugin is the author of book titled “Foundations of Geopolitics”. It has never been translated into English – but it is compulsory at Russian military academies.
Its plan to establish a Russian world empire, starting with conquering Europe or establishing a European union under Russian hegemony from Vladivistock to the Atlantic. can be seen here https://youtu.be/Q9MSV9Bp35Y
Dugin, hower, foresees that Eurrope has to be conquered. A necessity for that is incorporation of Ukraine and other former Soviet states in Russia (Reestablishment of the czaristic empire). When this goal has been established, the end war betwenn the continental and the “seefaring” Anglosaxon countries is to follow.
Nevertheless – this enmity is governed by the City of London´s new world order plan for a one world government (UN Agenda 21/Agenda 2030: The global Soviet Union) to be built on the ruins of the old world order after 3 world wars –

-using Hegelian dialectics: Russia thesue . USA thesis Russia antithesis to burn the US in one hour (Revelation 17, 18).
High Masonry including Putin know that
Therefore America has any reason to see Russia as its enemy
Greenwald = Jew..Another Jew disseminating the phony USA vs. Russia dichotomy.
Notice none of these Jews or Semites TTS hypes & hosts on here ever mention that both mass media complexes of Russia & USA are owned/managed by Jews & their respective governments are riddled with Jewish cabinet members. They’re both on the same Jew team– pretending they’re ‘enemies’ for the gentile morons of the world.
Glenn Greenwald– ….. defend democracy. That is a fairy tale that tries to get Americans to feel better about the fact that we are involved in many, many countries all over the world.
(((Emmanuel Malynski))) referring to the United States, quoted in La Démocratie Victorieuse:
‘The power to stir up a whole nation of solid, egotistical and utilitarian individuals, and to persuade them that their greatest privilege is to set out and get themselves killed at the uttermost ends of the earth, with no hope of gain for themselves or their children and almost without their understanding against or for whom they are fighting, or why, is a simply incredible phenomenon which makes one afraid when one comes to think about it.’
Why has Putin not crushed Zelensky and enacted regime change?
Wow. This is truth? Somebody said these were good eggs?!
These two talking heads speak 4 minutes of snapshot psuedo-truth that basically only slightly modifies the false left-right dichotomy for boobus americanus. This slightly modified dichotomy now speaks to abdication of american interests and destructive wastes of blood and treasure. And this is due to ostensible residual anger over the discredited russian collusion hoax?
The actual motivations have to do with who the entire government (not just democrats) works for. Individual motivations may vary: the bidens do it for enrichment and because they have no choice, nuland and her cronies do it because they believe in their superiority and destiny, etc.

https://towardfreedom.org/story/archives/europe/zelensky-and-nato-plan-to-transform-post-war-ukraine-into-a-big-israel
But the actual motivation (a one world gov’t run by you-know-who) will not be discussed by either of these bought-and-paid-for actors.
Why do the two talking heads make up stories about russian collusion being a motivation? Because the actual reasons would appall most americans, possibly to the point of relevant violence against the actual (local and otherwise) perpetrators of this particular scam. Instead, the new shading of the continuous false left-right dichotomy has these two talking heads more precisely aiming to send america down the toilet hole of history by adding to the incitement to dissolve the gov’t of the people possibly through a civil war.
steve is right germany was never our enemey MI 5 and MI 6 said so as did navall intell
so churchill formed his own the S O E
pure terrorists
Russia is nobodies enemy and DUGIN is right !
yankees better stick to your Monroe doktrin
and show your bitch UK into yoiur ass ! all
nations can live very well without steady
warmonger + robber /thief USA !
yankee fuck your bitch UK or go home !
@ Anders
“Its plan to establish a Russian world empire, starting with conquering Europe or establishing a European union under Russian hegemony from Vladivistock to the Atlantic. can be seen here”
And then you give a pure American propaganda link to support the statement? You suggest that the Russian military is brainwashed with Dugin’s geopolitical wishes? You are speaking of a nation which has about 160 million people and a GDP less than that of Canada which has 36 million people, and the USA which spends more on its military than all other nations on the earth combined.
When it is now admitted that the nation was “lured” into the war with the Ukraine, even though there was no apparent interest of the US in the Ukraine, you want to defend US actions based on the threat of Russian expansionism, when the history tells us very clearly that Russia has been surrounded and under the US gun ever since 1992. The only empire expanding since then in the US one and it has been crushing every single nation which has showed resistance to its controls. Russia develops its gas industry to sell to Europe and the US the nation which spawned the concept of the UN and the NWO allegedly for peace and justice obviously for more centralized global controls, imposes sanctions for taking back the Crimea which was taken from them and is mainly occupied by Russian-speaking and loyal people.
Did you hear Greenwald? He is saying what many of us have been saying since last March. Russia was “lured into the war” by the US. This is done by the Americans at the expenses of the people both in the Ukraine and Russia. A “proxy war” mainly for US interests on their geopolitical chessboard. The “geopolitical” interests of the British Empire to conquer Russia go back to the 19th century. Now you have the US Empire with the UK being joint aggressors. The war also serves the interests of Israel, because they want (Rothschild wants) Russia clean out of the Mid East and especially to abandon Syria to pave the way for a Greater Israel and ME trade hub with the completion of the BRI.
You fail to see how absolutely pragmatic and evil both the US and the UK have become in their ruthless persecutions and slaughtering of Russian speaking people in Eastern Ukraine in order to lure them into occupying that territory which every Russian believes belonged them them for hundreds of years.
In comparing freedom in Russia to that now in the West, I fail to see any real distinction. Russia at least is trying to defend traditional Christian family values which the West has gone whole hog woke. Russia played a weak hand in the Covid tyranny compared to the oppression in the West. It was “Covid lite”, while we in the West got a taste of what is to come with the NWO tyranny.
If Russia would come out of the closet on Covid and show that it was a plot to help usher in the UN-WEF agendas and it was forced to go along by all of the IMF pressures, I would have some more credence in the conflict in the Ukraine not being staged for NWO ends.
Stripped to the bare bones the FACTS ARE
ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE BASICALLY ORGANIZED CRIME.
THE US GOVERNMENT IS BASICALLY THE WEALTHIEST ORGANIZED CRIMINAL SYNDICATE ON EARTH.
THEY GET THEIR MONEY BY ASS-RAPING TAXPAYERS AND MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH VARIOUS “WARS”…
THEY BASICALLY TAKE FROM THE WORKING CLASS TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THE WEALTHY.
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR.
IF YOU SUPPORT THE US GOVERNMENT (OR ANY GOVERNMENT) IN ANY WAY, YOU ARE A CRIMINAL….FULL STOP
Executive Summary is as follows…
USA was never a democracy..it was an entity created by Jews and Freemasons.
Its role was to destroy rest of the world with millions of useful idiots beleiving they were a free democratic country.
Its final destiny is now unfolding….
Americans can be seen as a caricature of an overweight blob bending over viewing Ukraine etc. “from a safe distance” whilst getting it up the @ss with such cancers as Cultural Marxism.
“4 Minutes of Undiluted Truth on Mainstream TV” ???
So I listened to the 4 minutes and I will tell you not to waste your time.
1. Greenwald (jew) says we are wasting “tens of millions of dollars” – this is a lie, it is tens of billions and the total is over a hundred billion, so he is ameliorating the damage being done by his tribal buddies to the amerikan tax slave and us treasury.
2. Greenwald states correctly that Obama and Trump did not view Russia as a threat, but does not explain why Russia is suddenly the enemy. He did not bring up the real reason for the Ukraine war – Jews.
3. Both Tucker and Greenwald failed to connect the dots why the USA is in a proxy war in Ukraine, because that is what Jews want. It is what Rothschild wants, it is a way for Jews to launder billions from the USA.
Both of them are stupid liars and idiots and I will never listen to either ever again. The entire fiasco was engineered by Jews like Victoria Nuland, it is in the Khazar Jewish interest, not American interest.
Hello Fred B.
I am sorry to scuttle your belief, but you seem to misunderstand something.
As I wrote the whole thing is a Hegelian game, planned by the City of London.
In a Hegelian dialectic game both thesis and antithesis are equally satanic play toys of the Illuminati and their master Satan.
Who sympathizes with one or the other side is equally astray.
If you knew German or would use the translator/Übersetzer of my blog https://wiederkunftchristigrosspolitik.wordpress.com/ you would see that I share my antipathy equally between thesis and antithesis – and in particular their synthesis.
One everlasting error on this blog is to sympathize with one side of the game, the antithesis:
Putin is also a Jew – and even a Chabad Lubavitcher * aswell as a Mason of the Lodge “Golden Eurasia” alongside with Angela Merkel – and moreover a shamanistic pagan, Freemason under City of London control, as is his central bank, and a member of the Jewish-led Orthodox Russian Church (Kirill is a Jew as are many of his priests).
Just one more thing about Putin: He was anointed “Antichrist of the Illuminati” with the special task of attacking Israel as GOG acc. to Ezekiel 38,39 – the core of the Chabad Lubavitch program to start Armageddon and thus the coming of their Anti-christian moschiach, ben David. **
The anointment took place in 1993 in the Royal Arch Lodge*** – and then Putin´s carier skyrocketed. It was done at the behest of the Ashkenaton Cult, i.e. the Pilgrim Society***, which consists of descendants of the Mayflower Shabbatai Zvi-messianist Jews: Rockefeller, Rothschild, Mellon etc.

The expression “good eggs” is simply not in common usuage anymore…..moreover its usuage was usually confined to the upper middle classes.
More likely “Franz” is not a native English speaker….possibly the KGB handbooks on English language need updating.
Also American English can be a trap too because it differs in subtle ways.For example the individual who wrote the terrorist treatise post the Christchurch mosque attack used the word “milquetoast”…a word that is solely American English….unless this was a misdirection.
Americans would never use “fuckwit” or dropkick” to describe the lame fuck president and crypto jew Biden….
Americans would unlikely describe Ardern and Trudeau….as “two peas in a woke pod” and a pair of anti democratic dictatorial leftists cunts…..who would benefit from a magazines worth from a kalashnikov.The giveway here is the Russian brand of automatic.
No, people revive terms like “good egg” and other antique expressions to spice things up AND —
— Hearing two men known to have Establishment connections rummaging through more than the usual dollop of truth actually IS a bit refreshing. I am also very much aware that neither egg can go much further an keep their high-paying shell.
That’s likely the reason Rixon ran it and why I liked it. I sincerely doubt any of my critics would go full kamikaze if they had a similar sinecure.
“4 Minutes of Undiluted Truth on Mainstream TV”
More like: “4 Minutes of Jewish polluted lies on the Mainstream TV networks of which they own lock stock and barrel”
America was ultimately taken over by the jews in 1913 when they installed their FED reserve banking system upon their gullible American victims.
4 years later they took control of Russia…
They still control Russia…
“Fake News are us”
SMH
i forgive Tucker Carlson ignorance “Why is Russia seen as our enemy?” because he is after all just a news anchor, critical thinking is not a critical skill in his job description.
But Greenwald, a very intelligent, very toxic jew of course knows the true answer.
As Steve ( at 2:02 pm timestamp) pointed out and i will repeat his entire short post
All perfectly true but we can go back even further and ask why did “american” (cough, cough) bankers like Jacob Schiff who at the turn of 20th century financed Japanese navy to attack Russian Pacific fleet in order to weaken Tsar’s benevolent liberal regime, then proceeded along with the Rothschilds, Montefiores, Warburgs, etc., to organize and fund the Bolshevik cannibal orgy that took down the Romanovs and tens of millions Russian CHRISTIANS.
I repeat for emphasis: CHRISTIANS.
Here is the ultimate answer to Tucker’s question, no Russia is not “our” enemy, the real question should be who is the enemy of CHRISTIAN Russia.
2 part answer: it was the Viking prince Swiatoslav of Kievan Rus who demolished Khazar empire in 9th century, and
Yes, these are the enemy, the fallen angels turned monsters of Hell, the Adversary who Christ came to warn us about and his minions and cohorts, the jews and the Jew’s jews, the fallen goyim, Freemasons, demonically possessed deviants, WEF, Antifa, child sacrificers … and Jacob’s faggot descendant Adam knows it full well and along with the rest of the jew hive, Nuland, Kolomoisky, Blinken, Kagan and 14 million of them continues to hate Russia with undiminished fervor.
Somebody tell Tucker, so he doesn’t look so moronically clueless when asking the question.
Tucker (poncey name) only plays a role, looking puzzled when he knows the answers perfectly well, but he wants to lead a few people towards awareness
