Defenestration. It’s an interesting word. One that gets your attention.
Literally, it means the act of throwing someone out of a window – for a Biblical example, think of Queen Jezebel. A more recent example is known in history as the Second Defenestration of Prague which took place in 1618 and is cited as a spark that set off the Thirty Years’ War.
When used today, defenestration is commonly meant in a figurative sense. That is the sudden or violent removal of someone from his position. And it is in the metaphorical sense that I use the term in this instance.
I confess I found Carlson’s work to be a breath of fresh air compared to the normal diet of talking points from network new programs. He was, in my opinion, the only mainstream TV personality that was worth watching. Any number of times I found myself watching his show in amazement at what he was talking about. Not, mind you, that I was amazed at the content so much as I was that someone on a major network was actually saying it.
On any given night, you could hear Carlson talking about replacement migration, the plight of men in modern America, opposing the war in Ukraine, defending the January 6th “insurrectionists,” criticizing the Federal Reserve’s practice of money printing, raising questions about the “most secure election in American history,” questioning the COVID cult including its most sacred mRNA gene therapy “vaccine” sacrament, skewering Critical Race Theory, and lambasting the LGBTQ agenda. At this best, watching Carlson was like watching an independent YouTuber or reading a blog. It was as close to an anti-corporate, anti-mainstream journalistic experience as I have seen in corporate-controlled media.
Over the past week since the cancellation of Carlson’s show, there has been no end to the theories about why his popular program was canceled. One article titled “5 Theories That Are Swirling Around The Internet About Why Fox News Fired Tucker Carlson” does a nice job summarizing the more popular theories making the rounds of the internet.
For my part, I think there are two closely related reasons for his removal. First, Carlson had the audacity to speak up for ordinary, white Americans and defend them from elites out to do them harm. Second, this is part of the establishment plan to rig the 2024 presidential election for Joe Biden or whomever they plan to install in the White House next year.
