MIDLIFE CRISIS-19, Wednesday, February 18, 2026 – A Redress of Grievances, Too Big To “Suicide.”
On Monday, February 16, 2026, on his Facebook page, conservative voice, and comedian, Terrence Williams, posted that Tucker Carlson explained that Jeffrey Epstein, among working for other powerful networks, worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. Tucker went on, claiming that there is a “supra government” in America that exists above our representative government, and that because of it – other than “performative” arrests – there will be no arrests pertaining to Epstein (1.).
In today’s propaganda heavy news cycles, this information warrants scrutiny. Tucker’s words are also both inherently alarming, and somewhat intriguing.
They are alarming, because if true – about alleged Satanic-level sexual violence against children – there are “global elite” … cough, cough … who allegedly commit these heinous crimes against children with impunity, and as part of a secret power structure that makes them virtually untouchable. While at the same time, the average American would likely be arrested for not responding to a municipal Court summons regarding a minor traffic infraction. So although, in response to information released in the “Epstein files,” we have seen resignations, both here and abroad, are those resignations based on a mere association? That is not reasonable. It would be more emblematic of a two-tiered form of justice, while noting that a resignation is a pass.
Separately, Tucker’s words are intriguing, because there have been allegations that Tucker Carlson’s own Father, the late Richard Carlson, was “associated” (my word choice) with the CIA (2.). Separately, Tucker himself applied to the CIA after graduating college, but was rejected, then got into journalism (3., 4.).
Note to Self: Including Epstein, that makes three loose associations with the CIA.
What is true? Who knows, but let us take a step back, and look at the messenger in the context of Tucker Carlson’s Father, Richard Carlson:
- “a former journalist and Reagan administration official” (2.).
- “ran the U.S. government-supported Voice of America foreign media network at the end of the Cold War” (2.).
- a “former official, who later served as the U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles, [who told] a 1993 oral history project that during his time at Voice of America, the media network was sometimes targeted by foreign intelligence services” (2.).
- “Richard Carlson has denied that his staff were spies and that U.S. intelligence services controlled the content of what they produced, though he acknowledged in the oral history that the VOA’s work often resembled spycraft in the hostile nations where it broadcast” (2.).
- “[Richard Carlson said that] ‘The Voice of America correspondents weren't spies, they were reporters, but unfortunately in the kind of society with the rigidity of the People's Republic [of China] you end up doing your things covertly simply because you can't do them in any other way,’” (3.).
- after leaving government, Richard, “remained well-connected in Washington lobbying and think tank circles” (2.).
- “Tucker Carlson has said his father “worked in conjunction” with the CIA during his time in government” (2.).
- lastly, as part of his Father’s obituary, Tucker wrote, “The last 25 years of his life were spent in work whose details were never completely clear to his family […]. He worked in dozens of countries and breakaway republics around the world, and was involved in countless intrigues” (2.).
- regarding Tucker’s application to the CIA, he applied but failed with only a vague reference to being too talkative, and insubordinate, noted (3, 4.).

Ok, sure, from this sampling, Richard Carlson does not overtly appear to be a CIA officer, but it is totally reasonable to posit that he was some type of witting CIA asset in one or more capacities.
Based on that reasonable observation, we must take what Tucker Carlson says, and weigh it against the possibility that Tucker himself could likewise be a witting CIA asset, if only a wannabe. So, when he confidently describes a supra government, is he speaking from quasi experience? Not only that, the message could be that clear, that Tucker – operating as a witting CIA asset, or wannabe – is telling us that said supra government will arrest no one within its ranks. A seed planted for affect, that could be the message, that they will not hold themselves accountable.
I wrote about this type of disproportionate corruption in the summer of 2023, in the Mission Statement for Midlife Media-19, DBA (5.).
***
So where does that leave us, and why does any of that background matter?
Well, with unconfirmed, but not denied, associations of his Father with the CIA, and Tucker’s own alleged failed effort to join the CIA, specific to Jeffrey Epstein, who was allegedly working for the CIA, Tucker’s opinion matters in context, it is notable.
We can conclude that regardless of Tucker’s, his Father’s, or Epstein’s, place in the matrix, Tucker’s “supra” reference is either, an artist’s hyperbole, his personal-professional belief, or as noted earlier, and in the spirit of CIA wordcraft resembling his Father’s participation in what resembled spycraft. Wittingly or unwittingly, Tucker is telling us what a supra government would want us to accept, at which point he is simply planting the seed of low expectations.
Conspiratorial? Sure, but a Father, alleged to be a CIA asset, and a son wanting to be one, Epstein et al., is enough for me to put an asterisk next to all of them, then weigh information relative to them in that plausible context.
In that vein, it is wholly plausible that there will be no arrests.
***
So where does that leave us?
We will receive no favor at the hands and mercy of a proverbial two-tiered justice system. If the collective sentiment, and underlying intent, is that there will not be arrests specific to egregious crimes against children, we have a problem, while minding our own driving habits around our respective municipality is the least of our worries.
***
So, when government fails to act, or when the government is the ancillary problem, what are our options?
As individuals, we can vote in elections, but that is a collective outcome, based on individual decisions – our individual vote – so that is not the answer here. What about a Convention of States, which requires two-thirds of States (34 of 50) to make application to Congress for a convention in which a Constitutional amendment is proposed? A Convention of States is not really a law enforcement vehicle; it is a legislative one (6.).

Enter, the rights of We the People, i.e., petitioning, “the Government for a redress of grievances” (7.).
Full excerpt:
“First Amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” (7.).
A formal petition to the federal government by We the People to redress – to set right – by specific grievance of alleged crimes disclosed in the Epstein files, pursuant to the due process necessary to address that level and breadth of alleged corruption, is warranted.
Public figures, leaders in business, do not resign due to mere associations with an individual, again, that is not reasonable, it is not logical, that we know. It begs the question, what is taking place within American, and global, power structures that is on one hand unspeakable, requiring victim protections, while on the other hand, untouchable? We must reject contempt that specific questions are off limits, and that responsive answers are not due. Furthermore, we must reject empty platitudes that call for justice, while at the same time we allow the safeguarding of alleged crimes, for fear that the system is too big to redress.
I reject the mere implication of a supra government, and I reject that I am powerless in the face of one. If we are to ever have American freedom going forward, knowing what we know now, there can only be one government within which Lady Justitia presides.
We the People are at a precipice. We either collectively redress this alleged epic grievance, or we likewise cower within a literal prison of double standards as it pertains to right and wrong, groveling in a lower tier of justice fit for subjects, ruled by tyranny.

A redress of grievances, too big to “suicide.”
