Tucker Carlson Tonight host says CIA has been embracing woke ideology for years
If you’ve been on the internet this week, you’ve probably seen the CIA’s most recent recruiting video. If you haven’t seen it, there’s really nothing we can do to prepare you for the experience, except to tell you two things: first, it’s entirely genuine. This is not a hoax, or a deep fake, or the work of some demented comedic genius who’s set up a parody account on Twitter. No. This video is real. The second thing to know is that it’s from the CIA. That’s not the Culinary Institute of America, the people who teach baking and sushi preparation. No. That’s the Central Intelligence Agency, the guys who do waterboarding and subvert foreign elections. The CIA is the most heavily-armed, and supposedly the most sophisticated intelligence-gathering operation on the planet. And yet somehow, they produced this video, and then put it on social media.

Over the past year, many people have leaned on art for a sense of comfort and to express their feelings during the pandemic. Canada’s Images Festival understands the profound impacts of all art forms, especially in the current socio-political moment.

The thought-provoking film screenings and inspiring exhibitions can now be enjoyed by audiences as they remain safe at home. From May 20 to 26, online attendees are invited to experience new and independent voices from Canada and across the globe at its 34th edition via livestream at imagesfestival.com.

Sousveillance â watching from below, âthe monitoring of authorities by informal networks of regular people, equipped with little more than cellphone cameras, video blogs and the desire to remain vigilant against the excesses of the powers that be.â
In this conversation, Whitehead, Gaspar, and Ngô will speak on their respective practices which encompass performance, social practice, and installation, among others. They will draw relationships amongst their research which engage themes of liberation, surveillance, and belonging in the spirit of a collective building of knowledge.
