I have formatted the interview to facilitate adding comments. The words are unchanged. I have color-coded what was said by Tucker in red, and broken the text into paragraphs to make it easier to follow and to comment. You can download it here. I have posted an image copy – you can see what it looks like – here.
Browsers are often suspicious of web sites of private people like me. If you cannot or are unwilling to download it, write and I will send it as an attachment.
Why is it important that we rebut Putin on Substack?
The Internet is where credibility now lies. Whether or not we / you believe the mainstream media – Washington Post, New York Times, Time Magazine, Atlantic Magazine, MSNBC, ABC, CNN and the like – we have to recognize that most Americans now do not. Conservative Americans especially. It is the Republicans above all whom we need to convince.
While elites on the left consider it beneath their dignity to stoop to posting on the Internet, that is where opinion is now shaped. Whether or not you agree – many of you don't – you have to recognize that much of America believes that the government and the media lie consistently. Their belief is that they lied about at least
Covid
Global Warming
Sex and gender
The economy
Israel
and… Ukraine
Once again, we have to deal with WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE, whether you do or not. We need to divorce belief about Ukraine from the other issues that are associated with the left, the first five in the list above.
That means we have to put the truth where people will read it. On the Internet.
Many of the biggest personalities on the Internet are disaffected people of the left. They are generally open-minded. Many have posted the interview on their sites, either in full or with links.
The time to comment, to rebut Putin, is NOW. While it is hot. While people are reading.
The people I follow on Substack, many of whom tend to support Russia, include:
Robert Malone
The Vigilant Fox – Naomi Wolf
Celia Farber
Katherine Brodsky
Amy Sukwan
Peter and Ginger Breggin
Edward Slavsquat
With their own sites or shows are:
Matt Taibbi
Glenn Greenwald
Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Joe Rogan
The list is far longer, but these are representative of the places where Ukraine's story needs to be told. And you can do it. Most of them have commented on the interview. Many have posted it. Most of them invite your comments. Some would be open to interviews with the likes of Timothy Snyder.
I offer to curate comments. Help get our story together. You can download the formatted interview above, make your comments, and send it to me. I'll maintain an updated document in both Word and PDF format that we can all draw upon for our comments.
This is all public domain as far as I’m concerned. You may use the formatted interview for your own Substack post. I’ll show you how to achieve something like my treatment of the fake interview.
This post by Naomi Wolf is frighteningly wrong. She is a very strong and useful voice in the medical freedom movement. This demands a proper response!
