REPORT: Whistleblower Told Tucker Carlson Biden Admin's IC is Illegally Monitoring His Electronic Communications
By Shipwreckedcrew | Jun 28, 2021
In what may be an early example of the saying “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” Tucker Carlson reported on his show Monday night that he has received notice — AND EVIDENCE — that internal communications among the staff of his show are being monitored by the Intelligence Community of the Biden Administration. This would be the first reported instance that I’m aware of regarding a Biden Administration official leaking information to a news media outlet calling attention to allegedly illegal/objectionable conduct taking place inside the Administration.
These kinds of leaks were endemic during the Trump Administration, as liberal Trump-hating officials in the government bureaucracy regularly leaked information to media outlets hostile to Trump such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN. Now we have a Biden Administration Official engaged in the same conduct — but this time the operations being “leaked” are targeted at a media outlet hostile to Biden.
The segment that runs a little over two minutes is captured in the Tweet below by my new BFF Cernovich.
While the piece is relatively short, there are a few issues covered by Carlson that need to be unpacked, starting with the claims about the NSA.
Carlson reports that over the weekend he was in contact with a “whistleblower within the US Government.” Later Carlson adds that the Whistleblower is “in a position” to know the information he/she was providing.
According to Carlson, the Whistleblower told him the NSA is monitoring communications for the purpose of later leaking them to the public with the goal of taking Carlson’s show off the air. To prove that the information was legitimate, the Whistleblower described back to Carlson information about a story his staff is working on that could have only come from text messages and email communications between Carlson and members of his staff. Carlson told his audience that they filed a “Freedom of Information Act” request earlier today seeking any and all information about surveillance activities being conduct against him or members of his staff by any government agency.
There are a few legal and technical inaccuracies in Tucker’s story — not really his fault; he’s just got a few details wrong. The NSA is not “spying” on Carlson — the NSA “spies” on everyone all the time. The NSA gathers “signals intelligence.” Pretty much every form of communication or data transfer that takes place in electronic fashion is monitored and recorded by the NSA in massive database facilities in various locations. It is listening to everyone all the time. NSA’s technical capabilities involve simply “riding” the structural “spine” of the internet, and copying data as it passes through. It similarly intercepts electronic data in the atmosphere and downloads it.
Accessing the contents of those databases by government officials for the purpose of pulling out and listening to/looking at the communications by specific individuals is the act of “spying.” The NSA does not have a cadre of employees/agents who engage in that activity on their own. The NSA workforce simply pulls out data at the request of other government agencies in the intelligence community and passes along the requested information to them.
There is a legal process for doing this. But with respect to United States citizens, that process is supposed to involve an appropriate warrant issued by a federal judge based on the correct kind of showing under an appropriate statute, all justifying access to the stored communications. It is certainly possible that some agency has gone through that process to access the communications of Carlson and his staff, but it is hard to come up with any kind of plausible “legal” scenario involving a subject matter that might involve. The fact that a Whistleblower reached out to Carlson to alert him to what was happening and communicated to him that the motives behind the acts are political lends substantial credence to the idea this is an illegal enterprise being conducted for political goals.
A second issue raised by Carlson tonight is his report that FBI “Agents” — plural — to whom he spoke over the weekend confirmed that the FBI did have “sources” or “informants” among the crowd during the protests on January 6.
I’m not sure that is a shocking revelation as federal law enforcement often mixes in, or has sources providing information who are mixed in among protest crowds at public gatherings. Carlson’s report on what he was told by the Agents ends with that, but Carlson added words to the effect “So the FBI knew what was going to happen.” It is impossible to know if that is true without knowing what information the FBI sources had learned prior to the protests beginning. Just having sources in place is oftentimes not enough — it all depends on whether the place where they have positioned themselves is such that they can acquire non-public information known only to a limited number of people.
But, more important in my view is the contact reported by Carlson confirms something that I have long tried to convince readers about — that there are “anti-Biden” and “anti-Democrat” people employed across the federal workforce — including in the Intelligence Community and the FBI — and these people will be a source of information to the outside world in the same way that “anti-Trumpers” inside the Trump Administration were sources of information to the outside world. These people exist, in large numbers, and they hate what the Democrats and the Biden Administration are starting to do to the institutions where they work and to the country as a whole.
The next task is uncovering the operation that has targeted Carlson and exposing the Biden Administration Officials involved.

I doubt it was microwaves. Probably just old fashioned spying, like the kind Obama did when Biden was VP.
Obama administration spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen: Report
May 20, 2013
The Justice Department spied extensively on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, tracking his movements in and out of the State Department and seizing two days of Rosen’s personal emails, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
In a chilling move sure to rile defenders of civil liberties, an FBI agent also accused Rosen of breaking anti-espionage law with behavior that—as described in the agent's own affidavit—falls well inside the bounds of traditional news reporting. (Disclosure: This reporter counts Rosen among his friends.)
UPDATE: Fox News responds with a blistering statement that asserts Rosen was "simply doing his job" in his role as "a member of what up until now has always been a free press.”
The revelations surfaced with President Barack Obama’s administration already under fire for seizing two months of telephone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Obama last week said he makes “no apologies” for investigations into national security-related leaks. The AP's CEO, Gray Pruitt, said Sunday that the seizure was "unconstitutional."

Not a peep from Fox News calling out the NSA for "spying" in Carlson
I wonder why they haven't jumped all over this

Yep. He's a threat because he calls balls and strikes, regardless of party and he's not afraid of them.

He recently called General Milley a stupid pig
Was that a ball or a strike?
Tucker is a lying sack of shit and a certified racist
In fact a member of a well known white nationalist said this about Tucker
“It’s really, really alarming that my family watches Tucker Carlson show once and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the white nationalist talking points better than they have and they’re trying to get some tips on how to advance it.”

Nunes will get to the bottom of this. Interesting to see the NSA issue a non-denial denial about whether they actually read Tucker's emails and texts.
BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy assigns Devin Nunes to investigate Tucker’s claim that NSA spied on him
JUN. 30, 2021
BY THE RIGHT SCOOP
Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has just issued a statement calling for Devin Nunes to begin an investigation into several issues with the NSA, and among them is Tucker’s recent claim that the NSA has been spying on him.
Below is the full statement:
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) released the following statement on why he’s asked House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member Devin Nunes (CA-22) to investigate the National Security Agency:
“For the past several months, I have seen a disturbing trend at the National Security Agency.
“Earlier this year, I sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Austin expressing concern over the politicization of the Agency through the sidelining of Michael Ellis as NSA General Counsel. I asked that Mr. Ellis be reinstated and expressed my concern regarding undue political influence in NSA placing Mr. Ellis on administrative leave.
“Separately, it has recently come to my attention that NSA has refused to deliver information requested by the Republican Members on the House Intelligence Committee who are trying to fulfill their oversight responsibilities.
“Now, there is a public report that NSA read the emails of Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Although NSA publicly denied targeting Carlson, I have serious questions regarding this matter that must be answered.
“Given this disturbing trend, I’ve asked HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes to investigate and find answers on behalf of the American people. The NSA cannot be used as a political instrument, and House Republicans will ensure accountability and transparency.”
Well, this is a good thing for McCarthy to do. Not only is he calling for an investigation, he’s assigning Nunes to carry it out.
You can be sure the NSA will fight this and avoid cooperating with Nunes as much as they can. And you can expect the same from Nunes’ committee, since it’s chaired by a Democrat.
Even so, I’m very happy about this because Nunes is not a novice at these kinds of investigations. And hopefully he’ll be able to shed some light on this.

Tucker Carlson: NSA has been reading my private emails, planned to leak the contents
Intelligence agencies are not the friends of Americans, they are dangerous
Tucker Carlson By Tucker Carlson | Fox News
Last week, we told you that the Biden administration's largest intelligence-gathering agency, the NSA, had been reading my private emails. Even noting that out loud is weird. It's one of those segments we never thought we would do ever.
But the country has changed that much that fast. And honestly, the whole thing was kind of shocking. The government was spying on us? Come on. It seemed crazy, but it's true. And no one in Washington appeared to be shocked in the slightest. In fact, the usual shills right after our segment had a ready explanation for it.
Either it never happened at all, they said, just a cable news show lying for ratings, or there must have been a good reason it happened. And they begin furiously making excuses for the NSA. A powerful, heavily politicized spy agency surveilling journalists who've been critical of the regime? No problem. It's perfectly normal. Just don't call it spying.
But it's not normal - at all. It is Third World, and as we told you repeatedly, it did happen. Now, that has been confirmed. Yesterday, we learned that sources in the so-called intelligence community told at least one reporter in Washington what was in those emails. My emails. It was nothing scandalous in there. Thank God. We're happy to report that.
Late this spring, I contacted a couple of people I thought could help get us an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. I told nobody I was doing this other than my executive producer, Justin Wells. I wasn't embarrassed about trying to interview Putin. He's obviously newsworthy. I'm an American citizen. I can interview anyone I want and I plan to.
But still, in this case, I decided to keep it quiet. I figured that any kind of publicity would rattle the Russians and make the interview less likely to happen. But the Biden administration found out anyway, by reading my emails. I learned from a whistleblower at the NSA plan to leak the contents of those emails to media outlets. Why would they do that? Well, the point, of course, was to paint me as a disloyal American. A Russian operative. Been called that before. A stooge of the Kremlin, a traitor doing the bidding of a foreign adversary.
And of course, I'm hardly the only person who's been accused of those things in the last several years. We've seen this movie several times now. At the same moment, the Communist Chinese government increases its already stunning level of control over this country, our leaders prattle on about the threat of Vladimir Putin. He's an evildoer, they tell us. A totalitarian dictator.
Vladimir Putin does things that no American leader would even consider. He runs domestic disinformation campaigns. He lies to the public. He punishes people for opposing him, or for believing the wrong things. He even uses intelligence agencies to spy on his own citizens. Beyond the pale stuff. So no decent American would interview Vladimir Putin, at least no reporter from Fox News. That was the point they wanted to make. That's why they plan to leak the contents of my emails to news organizations. And yesterday, as noted, we learned they actually did it.
Even now, some of the media are claiming that we deserve this. Emailing with people who know Putin, are you? Of course, the NSA is watching you. That's what you get. But that's hardly the point. By law, the NSA is required to keep secret the identities of American citizens who've been caught up in its vast domestic spying operations. So by law, I should have been identified internally merely as a US journalist or American journalist. That's the law.
But that's not how I was identified. It was identified by name. I was unmasked. People in the building learned who I was and then my name and the contents of my emails left that building at the NSA and wound up with a news organization in Washington. That is illegal. In fact, it is precisely what this law was designed to prevent in the first place. We cannot have intelligence agencies used as instruments of political control.
Both parties used to agree on that. Democrats were especially adamant on the point, but not anymore. So that's exactly what is happening here. We need to find out how this happened, who did it, who allowed it?
Paul Nakasone would know the answer. Paul Nakasone is the highly political director of the NSA. Paul Nakasone would have been required personally to approve my unmasking. That's how it works. Paul Nakasone should explain who asked for that unmasking and he should do it immediately.
Avril Haines would also likely know the answer. Haines is the even more political director of National Intelligence who oversees all of it. She may have approved the unmasking as well. She would certainly know who asked for it and who approved it. That's her job to know. She should release that information immediately, tonight. And if Avril Haines does not release that information, she should be forced to release that information.
We don't have a lot of power, we’re just a TV show. But we're going to keep pushing for that because it matters. Not just to us, but to the entire country. You can't have a democracy in a place where unaccountable spy agencies keep people in line by leaking the contents of their emails, discrediting them with their own emails, which they thought were private. It doesn't work if you allow that. And we suspect congressional Republicans will also demand an answer.
Many have finally awakened to the fact that the intelligence agencies, which they have blindly supported for so long, are not, in fact, their friends. They're not the friends of anyone in this country. They're dangerous. That's obvious.
This article is adapted from Tucker Carlson's opening commentary on the July 7, 2021, edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Alright you slimy fucking Marxist pig, you give me one article from 2019 and a video (not even recent) from two of the most liberal rags on the net. You vile POS, you didn’t bother to watch the entire monologue and it’s context. And yes, his words were “he’s a pig..and a stupid one” in which I stand by what I said.
This is like you always fucking do. A perfect example is commenting on a Trump
Speech without watching a second of it but you’ll wait for the state ran media twats. Here fuck head.....watch it

‘Entirely unacceptable’: Fox News rips the NSA over a new report that says Tucker Carlson’s name was unmasked
Posted at 4:51 pm on July 23, 2021
by Greg P.
The Record, quoting “two people familiar with the matter,” has a new report out saying the NSA “has found no evidence to support Tucker Carlson’s accusations that the agency had been spying on him in an effort to knock his show off the air” but the NSA did unmask Carlson’s name at the request of an unnamed government official.

They’ve been trying to take his show off the air for years, same with Hannity, Rush, Levin and every other prominent conservative. Why do you there’s a movement to target their sponsors? Just when I thought it was impossible for AOC to that dumb, along comes Strawman and Lurker

NSA review finds that Tucker Carlson’s communications were not targeted
The NSA has found no evidence to support Tucker Carlson’s accusations that the agency had been spying on him in an effort to knock his show off the air, two people familiar with the matter told The Record.
An examination by the spy agency, prompted by congressional inquiries, found that the Fox News host’s communications were not targeted — as the NSA has previously stated publicly — nor intercepted through so-called “incidental collection,” where the U.S. government sometimes obtains the emails or phone calls of Americans in contact with a foreign target under surveillance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Correspondence between intelligence agencies and oversight authorities are conducted through classified means.
Instead, the nation’s top electronic spy agency found that Carlson was mentioned in communications between third parties and his name was subsequently revealed through “unmasking,” a process in which relevant government officials can request the identities of American citizens in intelligence reports to be divulged provided there is an official reason, such as helping them make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing.
The NSA obscures the names of Americans mentioned in its finished products in an effort to protect their privacy.
The sources declined to comment on who mentioned Carlson in their communications.
“For the NSA to unmask Tucker Carlson or any journalist attempting to secure a newsworthy interview is entirely unacceptable and raises serious questions about their activities as well as their original denial, which was wildly misleading,” a Fox News spokesperson told The Record.
The NSA declined to comment.

Straw is blind to anything bad his own side does.

He recently called General Milley a stupid pig
Was that a ball or a strike?
Tucker is a lying sack of shit and a certified racist
In fact a member of a well known white nationalist said this about Tucker

Yes, the unabashed racists absolutely Tucker
So, if white supremacists like secure borders, low taxes, and safe schools where kids can learn, I'm supposed to automatically want wide-open borders, taxes out the wazoo, and schools where my kids can get beat up, stabbed, or shot while the teachers don't do jack to foster learning?
If Carlson's statements are accurate, then so be it. If there is proof that the NSA spied on him, then that's the way it is.
Being a "white supremacist" these days is easy. Heck, I've been called one; and I'm as white as a Hershey bar. ;D

We allow these alphabet agencies to continue to "investigate" themselves, and the news reports it like it has any weight. Hilarious.

Good question.
Which Biden Official Asked The NSA To Unmask Tucker Carlson?
Immediate steps must be taken to stop this abuse of U.S. intelligence agencies to weaponize intelligence against American journalists.

The Next Shoe in the Tucker Carlson Spying Scandal Just Dropped
By Bonchie | Aug 10, 2021
Some weeks ago now, Tucker Carlson took to the air to make a startling claim, at least for those that still had any faith in our intelligence apparatus. Carlson claimed that the NSA had been spying on him and had read some of his private communications.
At first, the Fox News host was met with derision, including by some who claim to be conservatives. Why, the NSA would never spy on an American citizen, after all. Shortly after, though, Carlson’s claims were confirmed by Axios. The goalposts quickly shifted to “Oh yeah, well what was Carlson doing trying to interview Vladimir Putin?” as if the Russian president hadn’t been interviewed by NBC News just a week or so earlier.
Now, Carlson has revealed the next shoe to drop in the spying scandal against him — an NSA watchdog investigation.
WASHINGTON—The National Security Agency’s internal watchdog is conducting a review of recent allegations made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the spy agency had improperly targeted his communications for surveillance, the agency and an official said.
The announcement of the review by the NSA’s inspector general doesn’t mention Mr. Carlson by name, but instead refers to a member of the U.S. news media. A person familiar with the matter said the review concerns Mr. Carlson.
The review “is examining NSA’s compliance with applicable legal authorities and agency policies and procedures regarding collection, analysis, reporting, and dissemination activities, including unmasking procedures, and whether any such actions were based upon improper considerations,” NSA inspector general Robert Storch said in a brief statement.
We are a long way from “No way was Carlson spied on,” aren’t we? The NSA clearly intercepted Carlson’s communications. It’s also fairly certain that he was improperly unmasked, likely by someone in the Biden administration. There doesn’t appear to be any legitimate security reason for this to have happened, much less for his name and the contents of an email to be leaked to Axios. The fact that the original surveillance might have been incidental does not change the corruption involved in how the information was then handled.
As to whether this inspector general will do anything but whitewash the ordeal, I’m not sure. We have seen IG Horowitz at the DOJ, for example, pull no punches in exposing malfeasance and recommending criminal charges (though, the DOJ never wants to pursue them). It is possible the NSA IG is a straight shooter. It’s also possible they are a hack and nothing comes of this. So much of the bureaucracy is compromised that it’s impossible to tell.
What I do know is that Americans should not be spied on like this. I don’t care about concerns over terrorism. Rights are rights and too much of the NSA’s actions are blatantly unconstitutional. Past that, there should also never be a situation where an American journalist and citizen is targeted in a way where his communications are leaked to the media to try to make him look bad. Heads need to roll, though, they undoubtedly won’t.
