If working people were a bit more desperate about their economic situations, the wealthy believe, they’d be less likely to organize, protest, or even vote.

 

What Aristotle Knew About Oligarchy That We Forgot

In this video, we explore Aristotle’s book “Politics,” where he breaks down different types of government, including oligarchy – when the rich call the shots. Aristotle didn’t just theorize; he studied 158 constitutions from Greek city-states and beyond, giving us deep insights into how governments really work.

Study Finds The United States Is An Oligarchy

 

The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite. So concludes a recent study by Princeton University.

If you don’t know what Oligarchy means, here’s wiki’s definition;

Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); from ὀλίγος (olígos), meaning “few”, and ἄρχω (arkho), meaning “to rule or to command”) is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, religious or military control. Such states are often controlled by a few prominent families who typically pass their influence from one generation to the next, but inheritance is not a necessary condition for the application of this term.

 

Proof The US Is An Oligarchy, Not A Democracy

“A study, to appear in the Fall 2014 issue of the academic journal Perspectives on Politics, finds that the U.S. is no democracy, but instead an oligarchy… The authors of this historically important study are Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page, and their article is titled “Testing Theories of American Politics.” The authors clarify that the data available are probably under-representing the actual extent of control of the U.S. by the super-rich”

Throughout history, oligarchies have often been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist). Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy. However, oligarchy is not always rule by the wealthy, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group, and do not have to be connected by either wealth or by bloodlines – as in a monarchy.

The two professors have conducted exhaustive research to try to present data-driven support for this conclusion. Here’s how they explain it: the wealthy few move policy, while the average American has little power

Eric Zuess, writing in Counterpunch, isn’t surprised by the survey’s results.

American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it’s pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation’s “news” media),” he writes. “The US, in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious ‘electoral’ ‘democratic’ countries. We weren’t formerly, but we clearly are now.”

Major Study Finds The US Is An Oligarchy

Government serves special interests, not people.

Per the above article: “The U.S. government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country’s citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern universities has concluded.

The report, “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens” (PDF), used extensive policy data collected between 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the U.S. political system.

After sifting through nearly 1,800 U.S. policies enacted in that period and comparing them to the expressed preferences of average Americans (50th percentile of income), affluent Americans (90th percentile), and large special interests groups, researchers concluded that the U.S. is dominated by its economic elite.

The peer-reviewed study, which will be taught at these universities in September, says: “The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence.”

Researchers concluded that U.S. government policies rarely align with the preferences of the majority of Americans, but do favour special interests and lobbying organizations: “When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favour policy change, they generally do not get it.”

 

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.

 

The definition of Propaganda is;  “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view”.

If you’ve been watching nothing but Right Wing Media, you’d be shocked by the information they haven’t been reporting which the majority of people see on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. Right Wing Media outlets spins news so it’s always favorable towards Republicans.

FOX News pundits (and other Right Wing Media outlets) are helping destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting lies, hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts, etc to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing to the United States, it’s citizens and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”.  Example shown on this page.

 

Strategist for GOP 2008 McCain / Palin Presidential campaign Steve Schmidt explains how Fox News and Rupert Murdoch have destroyed America

 

The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they’re not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts are free to tell their Right Wing viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.

 

Right Wing media outlets brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News” so they only watch Right Wing Media sources. This helps them make more money because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS in advertising. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans. Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans have been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”.

Fox News staffers agree: Fox is not a news organization

Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans.

Per the above article: “Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans”.

Anonymous quotes from Fox staffers show Fox is not a news organization

In response to incendiary revelations in two recent filings released as part of Dominion’s defamation case against Fox News, as well as a host of supplemental exhibits also provided by Dominion, the rift between the façade of Fox’s “news side” and its actual core business as a Republican propaganda outlet has grown into public view.

• A Fox News journalist told CNN that “the opinion folks are probably right in that there really isn’t a lot of love lost between us and them.”
• According to The Daily Beast, a Fox reporter “wondered how [Fox primetime host Tucker] Carlson could continue to work for the company after it was revealed that he was demanding at least one journalist be fired for doing their job.”
• A Fox producer told The Daily Beast: Carlson “acts like the king of Fox. Entitlement. Extremely unprofessional.”
• One Fox correspondent told The Daily Beast: “Honestly, Tucker is a joke, and I don’t know many in the news division that likes or respects him. He makes our jobs harder and way more dangerous.”
• A senior Fox staffer told CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that he was correct and “should keep saying” that the Dominion filings made it clear that Fox isn’t a news network.
• A news production staffer at Fox told The Daily Beast that it’s always been “opinion first, news secondary” there: “The news side has always been kind of used as a bit of a shield, a bit of a legitimacy play. And I think that in and of itself is, it’s kind of falling apart now.”
• A Fox producer referenced the criticism of Fox’s reporters revealed in the filings, telling The Daily Beast: “If journalists are being criticized for being hard on the Trump admin or truthfully talking about the election, it’s a form of censorship. The news division is being given less importance.”
• A Fox reporter called out Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott in The Daily Beast’s report for “clearly not looking out for the news side,” adding: “How can we all continue to work for her?! How can anyone watching Fox for news believe that they’re gonna get news if she’s in charge? We are not happy.”
• A veteran Fox journalist told The Daily Beast that “Tucker has publicly attacked and humiliated journalists here at Fox before,” so “it shouldn’t be a surprise that he was trashing us behind the scenes.”
• One Fox correspondent told Brian Stelter, writing for Vanity Fair of the released text messages from Fox’s prime-time opinion hosts: “We thought they hated us, but now we know it in their own words.”
• A Fox staffer told CNN that “people are really shocked and disgusted” by what was revealed in the filings, adding: “Even longtime staffers. You would think after all we’ve been through nothing could surprise us. But this is unprecedented.”
• A Fox reporter told The Daily Beast that the fallout from the filings is “demoralizing, deflating and soul-crushing” to a journalist.
• More than one Fox employee told Stelter “we’re all embarrassed” by the filings’ contents.

Fox staffers in the past have also explained how the network operates like a propaganda outfit rather than a news organization

“This reaction to the contents of the Dominion filings is not the first time current or former Fox staffers have called out the network for being little more than a GOP propaganda shop; Fox veterans Chris Wallace, Carl Cameron, Shepard Smith, and Chris Stirewalt all agreed that Fox’s core business is not news once they left the network. Wallace called it “unsustainable” that Fox questioned the 2020 election results and downplayed the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cameron said that “over the years, the right-wing hosts drowned out straight journalism with partisan misinformation.” According to CNN, Smith believed “that his presence on Fox became untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods that hosts knew were lies.” Stirewalt admitted that Fox became “an arm of a political party” during the Trump years. And there was even more on-the-record criticism of the network from former employees who said they were “increasingly embarrassed by the channel,” which had become “a destructive propaganda machine” during the Trump era”.

Additionally, a September 2019 report from The Daily Beast attributed the following anonymous quotes criticizing the network to then-current Fox staffers:

• “Fox has acted like state media for a long time. This is just one small element to it.”
• “As an employee, I have had concerns about how close Fox has become with the White House and the administration. I don’t think I’m the only person there who has these concerns. …
• With these layoffs in multiple news departments coming just a few weeks before the election, it looks like Fox is more like an extension of this administration, instead of a news network.”
• “The opinion team appears to have won the internal battle” with the news side.
• The leaders of the Fox News website “are not interested in facts. They are obsessed with pitching ‘on-brand’ stories that include Blue Lives Matter, anything antifa-related, anyone who has suffered during BLM protests that can put the protestors in a negative light, anything that threatens Christianity, and anyone who is a Trump supporter who has somehow been wronged.”
• “The Brain Room, in their research, came up with facts that were not used in Fox reports or were in contradiction to what Fox aired. I have to imagine that kind of tension has always existed there, between the fact-checkers and what is often reported.”
• Top Fox executives have “long been unsupportive of real, unbiased reporting. They do not see themselves as a real news operation in the sense that people are doing original work, trying to break stories and get to the bottom of things, wherever the chips fall.”

 

As shown in the above screen shot from FOX’s Jessee Watters show, the chyron makes the outrageously false claim that “Biden Convicts Trump”, a lie Trump and other Radical Right Wingers has been using to SMEAR, DEMONIZE and make their brainwashed viewers hate President Biden so they’ll vote Republican, against their own best interests.

 

Trump has been spreading the ridiculous lie that Joe Biden is responsible for Trump being indicted in New York, Georgia, Washington & Miami and has weaponized the government to go after him and engage in “Election Interference”.

There’s not a shred of evidence that Biden has encouraged State or Federal Prosecutors to “go after” Trump.

 

Why Fox is ‘the most destructive institution in all of American politics’

 

FOX SUED FOR SPREADING 2020 ELECTION LIES

FOX News SUED for spreading 2020 election lies. Court documents show hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and others knew Trump’s voter fraud claims were false, but continued peddling them to maintaining ratings.

For years Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham & the rest of Fox News were enraging viewers on air, while laughing at them off-air. Their lies lead followers to mount a deadly attack on our Capitol.

2 Weeks after the Election was called for Joe Biden, Fox Pundits cast doubt on the results nearly 800 times

Fox pundits repeatedly aided Trump’s efforts to undermine election results, laying the groundwork to cry foul if Trump lost, echoing debunked theories of fraud, pushing the idea that Democrats are trying to “steal” this from him, and arguing that Trump is justified in pursuing his claims of a rigged election. This pattern of coverage continued in the lead-up to the day of the riots.

Tucker Carlson And Sean Hannity Forced To Sit For Depositions In Defamation Case

Some of Fox News’ biggest stars have been forced to sit depositions in the ongoing defamation lawsuit against the network. Both Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have reportedly been deposed, among others, and this looks to be the one time that Fox can’t get out of serious trouble for what their hosts and guests said on the network.

 

One of the key lessons we have learned from these filings in Dominion’s case against Fox is there’s nothing too low, nothing too extreme and nothing too dangerous. If the base likes it, the base gets it—because Fox knows where their bread is buttered.”

 

Docs show Fox hosts didn’t believe election lie

Trump tries to make his own criminal indictment about Joe Biden

Biden allies, legal experts and strategists say silence may be the best option even in the face of a torrent of Trump attacks.

Per the above article; “When Donald Trump announced to the world Thursday night that he had been indicted on a raft of federal charges, his message was consistent and singularly focused: Joe Biden is using the government to crush his political comeback. That the attorney general appointed by Biden had named a special counsel to helm the investigation — a move intended to insulate the president from a decision to prosecute — was omitted by Trump and the battery of Republican allies who quickly rushed to his defense. And it’s likely to be a nuance lost on voters, as the indictment stokes Republican fears about political bias inside the Justice Department.

Trump’s announcement that he had been indicted began, “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys,” going on to call it a “boxes hoax” and “election interference.” Nearly every statement after that continued to invoke the president for his predecessor’s problems. A centerpiece of Trump’s defense is: ‘This is a political prosecution brought against me by the Biden government.

Asked during a news conference Thursday what he could tell Americans to convince them they should trust the Justice Department’s independence, Biden responded that his record in office belies the accusations he now faces.

“You’ll notice, I have never once — not one single time — suggested to the Justice Department what they should do or not do on whether to bring any charges or not bring any charges,” he said. “I’m honest.”

 

BUSTED! The Dishonest Methods FOX Uses to Make Their Viewers Disrespect and Hate Joe Biden

Fox News was caught red-handed deceptively editing a sound bite to Joe Biden say something he didn’t say. This was another “scandal” they invented to make their viewers hate Joe Biden & Democrats, the very party which stands up for the Middle Class and the Poor.

 

Fox News laying the groundwork for the next big lie about non-existent fraud

Fox News lies about poll numbers in the above video, claiming Trump is so far ahead that the only way Biden can win is if Democrats rig the election.

Pretty rich when TRUMP paid Hush Money to silence a porn star keep the American people from finding out about his adulterous affairs to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, engaged in a corrupt & illegal smear tactic to destroy Joe Biden as a potential 2020 Democrat candidate by demanding the Government of Ukraine publicly announce investigations of Biden before Military Aid would be released. After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was ‘stolen’ and he ‘won in a landslide’. Trump demanded Georgia Election Officials “find votes” to help him STEAL the 2020 election. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in 50 lawsuits and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his followers to engage in a violent COUP to overturn the 2020 election to stay in power against the will of the people. This violent coup was the final act committed by the most Lawless and Corrupt administration in American History. In addition, lawless congressional Republicans behaved like spoiled brats, voting to overturn the election results in Congress, because they didn’t want to accept the fact they they LOST.

After all of the lawless, rotten behavior Trump and Republicans engaged in, Fox “News” propaganda peddlers have a lot of nerve insinuating ‘Democrats’ might ‘steal’ the 2024 election. These people are ROTTEN to the CORE and have no decency or shame.

Angelo Carusone, President of Media Matters and Ben Rhodes, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Obama join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at how right wing media, and Fox News specifically are setting the expectation for their audience that it is not possible for President Biden to win a second term without some type of nefarious activity, stoking the same lies that fueled the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.

Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.

 

Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)

Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.

Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.

That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”

But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.

You Literally Can’t Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox’s Lawyers

Fox News viewers don’t expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.

Per the above article; “You can’t expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson’s mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson’s critics. It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary. ”

 

 

Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”

Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.

That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.

 

When spoiled kids whine

Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people

Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.

Per the above article; The fossil fuel industry is a poster child for corporate welfare.

“Federal subsidies and tax breaks prop up fossil fuel development, even when drilling projects should be too expensive to turn a profit. Below-market leasing rates, royalties and fees subsidize oil and gas companies, encouraging them to exploit our public lands and leaving taxpayers on the hook for the environmental damage.

In the “Build Back Better” Act, Congress has an opportunity to make oil and gas corporations play by the same rules as everyone else. The House has included common-sense oil and gas reforms in its version of the bill, and the Senate should follow suit.

Taxpayers should get a fair return from oil and gas companies that drill on publicly owned lands and waters. The House bill would make this change. Right now, these polluters pay below-market rates to extract resources that belong to all Americans.

The federal government’s current 12.5% royalty rate for onshore drilling was established by the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. It has not been updated for more than a century, even where technological advances have reduced the financial risk of drilling. By contrast, states are far more aggressive in ensuring their taxpayers are not ripped off — even states that tend to be friendly to fossil fuel companies — with Wyoming and Utah collecting about 17% in royalties and Texas going as high as 25%.

Modernizing the federal royalty rate would provide huge benefits to Americans. Taxpayers lost out on more than $12 billion over the past decade because polluters weren’t paying fair market rates for drilling on public lands and waters, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense. Recovering these dollars would enable Congress to allocate more money to other programs in the bill, including those that protect the environment and make it easier for families to afford the rising costs of childcare, pre-K and higher education.

The House’s Build Back Better Act also closes a legal loophole that leaves taxpayers, instead of oil and gas companies, on the hook for cleaning up shut-down wells. Under the current requirements, the bonding coverage that polluters purchase up front to make sure environmental remediation costs are paid doesn’t come close to covering the actual cleanup costs. In effect, that means that oil and gas companies can profit off pollution, then leave taxpayers to deal with the mess they leave behind”.

Unable to win elections fair-and-square, Republicans have increasingly relied on “redistricting” areas that they would have no chance of winning into more favorable seats. And while the practice should be considered an affront to the very idea of an open democracy, it has apparently become so commonplace for lawmakers that one was just caught on tape explaining how she planned to use the technique to defeat her African-American Democratic colleague.

Rep. Janet Adkins was at a private gathering during a meeting of the Republican Party of Florida. Rather than focus on things like plugging the numerous holes in the Republican sinking ship, Adkins was hatching a plan to steal the election instead. According to tapes secretly recorded and leaked to POLITICO, Adkins wanted to kick long-time liberal congresswoman Corrine Brown out of office by carefully redrawing her district to include as many prisons as possible. Prisoners, you may recall, cannot vote. But first, she made everyone swear that there were no reporters in the room that would rat on her.

TRUMP FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT VOTER FRAUD

Trump Pushes Voter Fraud Claim Without Evidence

 

Trump continues to add false and exaggerated statements to his already lengthy list of bogus voter fraud claims.

There is no evidence to back up Trump’s blanket claim that “mailed ballots are corrupt.” Voting experts say the president is exaggerating when he says mail ballots are “fraudulent in many cases.” While the instances of voter fraud via mail-in or absentee ballots are more common than in-person voting fraud, the number of known cases is relatively rare.

Trump also falsely claimed that California reached a settlement with Judicial Watch in which the state “agree[d] that a million people should not have voted.” California and Los Angeles County agreed to remove inactive voters from their voter rolls per federal law. But there’s no evidence any of them voted, fraudulently or otherwise.

And as he has in the past, Trump claimed there’s “a lot of fraudulent voting going on in this country.” Experts say voter fraud is rare.

Trump’s latest round of voter fraud claims came as Wisconsin struggled with an election at a time when residents were wary of going to polls during the coronavirus pandemic.

Some Wisconsin Democrats, including Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, urged to hold the election by mail and suspend in-person voting. Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers tried to move the state’s April 7, but after a Republican challenge, the state Supreme Court ruled the governor’s decision was unconstitutional and the election went off as scheduled on April 7 with long lines and fewer polling places.

 

The real reason Donald Trump hates mail-in ballots

Trump is continuously attacking — saying it will lead to a fraudulent and rigged election. Chris Cillizza explains why the widespread election fraud Trump claims will happen is, well, unlikely.

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proved how much he hates our Democratic process, and his Democratic colleagues, in a speech on the Senate floor this week when he accused Democrats of a “political power grab” by trying to make election day a national holiday. Nothing scares Republicans more than the thought of people actually being allowed to vote.

 

REPUBLICANS COMMITTING VOTER FRAUD

“In those few cases where voter fraud actually occurs – it tends to be Republicans committing it. Meet John Enright, Republican candidate for supervisor in Pinal County, Arizona. Enright just dropped out of the race after accusations surfaced that his companion – whom he lived with until her death in 2007 – has been voting from the grave for five years since her death. Enright claims he’s dropping out of the race for other reasons – and denies any role in illegally voting on behalf of his former companion. Seems fishy, though. And then there’s Ann Coulter – one of the most shrill, hateful Conservative voices on television. As reported by the BradBlog – in both 2002 and 2004 – Coulter illegally cast absentee ballots in Connecticut – despite her ACTUALLY being a resident of – and living in – New York. That’s voter fraud.

Just like it was voter fraud when former Republican Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman voted in 2010 – claiming his Governor’s mansion in Utah as his official address – even though he no longer was Governor – and no longer lived in the mansion. Just like it was voter fraud when Indiana’s Republican Secretary of State – Charlie White – the top election official in the state – was found guilty of several felony charges like lying on voter registration forms, voting in the wrong precincts, and submitting false ballots”.

Voter Intimidation Billboards

Voter Intimidation Billboards like the ones above appeared in during the 2012 election in Cleveland, Columbus and Milwaukee. They popped up just as early voting began in Ohio. Civil rights groups charged these intimidating billboards were meant to frighten lawful and confused voters away from the polls.

Reports of similar scare tactics, such as robo-calls and threatening flyers, designed to deter voters in black and Latino neighborhoods recur each election year as polls begin to open. As Brentin Mock has reported for Colorlines, early voting has been a crucial part of increasing black turnout and tea party groups in states like Ohio and Florida have worked to limit it, under the guise of combating voter fraud.

 

Historian Carol Anderson traces the evolution of voter suppression tactics, from poll taxes and literacy tests instituted after the passage of the 15th Amendment to the rise of strict voter ID laws and poll closures after the election of America’s first Black president. Anderson argues voter suppression is rooted in white supremacy and White rage.

Texas governor limits election drop boxes to one per county in sprawling state | CNN Politics

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a proclamation Thursday limiting the amount of drop-off locations for mail-in ballots to one site per county.

Per the above article; The move significantly affects the Democratic stronghold of Harris County, which is the state’s largest county by population — one of the most populous in the country — and covers a massive area. It must now reduce its 12 drop-off locations down to one starting on Friday, according to Elizabeth Lewis, spokeswoman for the Harris County Clerk’s Office. Travis County, which includes the reliably Democratic city of Austin, must limit its four drop-off locations to one.

Other large counties — like Tarrant, Dallas and El Paso County — only had one drop-off location already in place.

Judge Lina Hidalgo, the top elected official in Harris County, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “PrimeTime” Thursday evening, “There is no reason for this decision to limit us to one drop-off location other than voter suppression.”

Calling the drop-off sites “secure” and “safe,” Hidalgo urged Texas residents to consider, “If these leaders truly are doing right by you, why are they so afraid of you voting?”

“I’m reminding our residents here in Harris County, our citizens, that we are not to be intimidated. That this is a time to participate, and, yes, it’s going to be harder and, yes, they’re trying to confuse and they’re trying to suppress the vote, but for that very reason, we need to show everyone who’s watching that we’re going to participate because it’s about democracy.”

The state’s Democratic party chair, Gilberto Hinojosa, labeled the step a “blatant voter suppression tactic” in a press release.

“The governor is making it harder for people to vote in the middle of a global pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 16,000 Texans,” the group said in a statement. “It is a shameful, blatant act of voter suppression that will disproportionately impact the large number of Black and Latinx voters in Texas’ biggest counties.”

Putin jailed, poisoned & murdered political opponents, seized oil companies for his own personal monitory gain and interfered in elections around the world. Putin’s atrocities has been well know for years yet Right-Wing “Conservative” Republicans praised and supported him.

 

This video gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years such as anti-voting laws to rig elections in their favor, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT laws and how Russia shares many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.

The United States will become as oppressive as Putin’s Russia unless Republicans are STOPPED by Voting them Out of Office.

 

The Right’s Embrace of Fascism and Authoritarianism

 

The above video shows the history of how Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort helped Putin Puppet Viktor Yanukovych get elected President of Ukraine, how Republicans changed their Party Platform in 2016 to favor Russia and hurt Ukraine, how Trump helped Putin by destabilizing NATO and why Putin likely didn’t invade Ukraine while Trump was President.

 

Russian conspiracy about the US is spreading in America

A new conspiracy theory has become popular among some of the online communities that formed around QAnon — one simultaneously being promoted by the Kremlin as a justification for its invasion of Ukraine. The false claim: the United States is developing bioweapons in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin has stepped in to save the day and destroy the weapons. March 10, 2022

 

Claims Trump was tough on Russia and Putin wouldn’t invade Ukraine if Trump were President are Absurd. Trump kissed Putin’s ass during the entire time his was President.

During a interview with a Newsmax host who tried claiming Trump was tough on Putin, Former National Security Advisor John Bolton pushed back, stating ‘Trump complained sanctions on Russia were too tough” and he “barely knew where Ukraine was”.

 

Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner: ‘Vladimir Putin Owns Trump’

 

Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED.

Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.

Hungary Is a Version of What Republicans Wants For The U.S.

Chief national correspondent at the New York Times, Mark Leibovich, and former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi, react to Fox News’ anchor Tucker Carlson’s bizarre choice to host his show from Hungary, a country with an authoritarian regime.

 

Trump Endorses Right-Wing Autocrat In Hungary

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

 

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).

Republicans used to distrust Russia but after Trump took office, many Republicans shifted their position.

How To Dismantle A Democracy

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.

 

Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.

Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.

Calmes: Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans

Red states like Texas, Missouri and Florida are waging their own culture war in parallel to Putin’s, targeting the rights of women and minorities.

Per the above article; “Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans We see the ravages of Russia’s war on Ukraine, where it’s as if the black-and-white scenes of carnage and fleeing refugees in World War II Europe — scenes consigned to history books, we thought — have been updated in horrific, real-time color. Vladimir Putin’s heinous war has united the Ukrainian people”.

“Then there’s the coverage of the figurative war here in America, a culture war waged by Republicans against women, minority groups, LGBTQ people, educators, public health officials and just about anyone not of a right-wing mindset. This needless conflict divides us, for Republicans’ political gain”.

“Such domestic battles are a luxury of peace and prosperity. I’m reminded of conservatives’ culture wars amid the good times at the turn of the century, before 9/11 made a mockery of the invented threats and brought Americans together against a real one”.

“Even as Ukrainians suffer bombings of hospitals, a maternity center, apartments and schools, our bloodless war proceeds on its several fronts: Against women’s constitutional right to abortion before a fetus’ viability. Against teachers’ rights to speak freely about race and gender. Against transgender youth and their parents. Against public health officials dealing with a once-a-century pandemic that’s killed nearly a million Americans”.

“On abortion rights, Republican-led states aren’t even waiting for the conservative U.S. Supreme Court to turn back the clock a half-century. They’re rushing either to ban abortions at 15 weeks’ gestation, significantly before a fetus is viable (the latest bill just went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign), or to go further and copy Texas’ plainly unconstitutional law that ended nearly all abortions in that state, home to 7 million women of reproductive age”.

“Texas devilishly wrote its law to avert federal court review, dangling cash bounties to spur citizens to sue anyone who even unknowingly helps a woman who’s more than six weeks pregnant get an abortion. Under the legal threat, clinics ceased most services”.

“Predictably, Texans are traveling elsewhere. At least 5,500 women sought help in six neighboring states in just the first three months after the law took effect in September. Now comes a Republican lawmaker in Missouri, inspired by Texas’ law, who’s concocted a way to stop women in her state from going to Illinois or Kansas to exercise their reproductive rights: Attack women’s freedom to travel, too!”

“The bill, the brainchild of state Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, is now before the Missouri House. It would invite anyone to sue a person who helps a Missourian get an abortion out of state, whether that’s a hotline operator making appointments or a doctor providing the service. It’s another patently unconstitutional gambit, but one that could have a chilling effect if clinics in the neighboring states want to avoid legal battles”.

“Texas Republicans, meanwhile, continued their pioneering ways in the culture war by opening a new offensive, against transgender kids and their families”.

“Gov. Greg Abbott, acting late last month on a nonbinding legal opinion from Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton, directed state officials to investigate parents for abuse if they help a child medically transition to the gender with which the youth identifies. The Texans sprung this plan just as the Journal of the American Medical Assn. reported that gender-affirming medical care made teenagers 60% less likely to suffer depression and 73% less likely to be suicidal”.

“By this week, Texas had opened investigations of at least five families. What a blatant invasion of personal liberty from the state that unironically advertises “Don’t mess with Texas.” As if transgender kids and their parents don’t deal with enough stigma, bullying and even the threat of violence”.

“Yet copy-cat Idaho aims to one-up Texas: Its state House voted Tuesday to make it a felony for a doctor to help transgender children. A record 147 bills against transgender people were introduced in 34 states last year, according to the pro-LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign, including successful measures to bar transgender girls from women’s sports”.

“LGBTQ issues more broadly are the target — along with racial justice and history – of a raft of so-called “parental rights” bills to restrict what teachers can say or assign in classrooms from pre-K through college”.

“Florida’s legislature sent its “Don’t Say Gay” bill to DeSantis, as well as a separate measure limiting what teachers and employers can say about race and diversity. Georgia’s Republican lawmakers are moving to ban the teaching of what they vaguely call “divisive concepts” about race”.

“PEN America, which keeps a monthly roundup, says there’s “no recent parallel” to the number of book bans and “educational gag orders.” The organization laments “a willingness, and even eagerness, to bring the weight and power of government to bear on controlling classroom speech.”

“In Russia, Putin is cracking down further on speech, too, just as he’s moved against gay rights and abortion. If Republicans in this country truly stood for freedom, their domestic agenda wouldn’t have so much in common with his”.

 

Far-Right Extremism: Why We Should Be Concerned

 

I’m a Former RT Anchor. Fox News Mimics Russian State TV.

Liz Wahl, who quit a Kremlin-funded network in disgust in 2014, writes that right-wing media stars like Tucker Carlson are at times indistinguishable from Russia’s own propaganda.

Per the above article; “Liz Wahl, who quit a Kremlin-funded network in disgust in 2014, writes that right-wing media stars like Tucker Carlson are at times indistinguishable from Russia’s own propaganda.

Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson, along with other right-wing media figures, are at times indistinguishable from the propaganda on my former network, RT, a Kremlin-funded cable news channel that eagerly uses American voices to push a pro-Russia agenda.

American voices frequently amplified on RT include former Democratic congresswoman-turned-CPAC speaker Tulsi Gabbard, libertarian politician Ron Paul, and his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—all of whom share foreign policy positions that Russia now finds beneficial to amplify.

What these figures don’t seem to understand or ignore is that RT uses their stateside fame and clout to drive eyeballs to its YouTube channel and legitimacy to its brand.

During the Trump years, the channel routinely featured videos and friendly headlines of Trump himself and his radical supporters. Popular themes on the channel were Trump’s denigration of NATO and the European Union. One video on RT’s YouTube channel features Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn at an RT event, being interviewed by the channel’s Russia-based host, wearing an RT lanyard”.

 

Republicans don’t believe in Democracy… to them it’s about seizing and maintaining power at all costs. This is why Putin helped Trump and Republicans get elected in 2016… because Republicans Anti-Democratic Fascist Authoritarian policies and tactics aligns well with Ruthless, Murderous Dictators like Putin.

Republicans ran up the debt with “Tax Breaks for the Rich” while refusing to make the rich pay their fair share, attempted to steal the 2020 election while LYING & FALSELY claiming “Trump Won” while accusing Democrats of stealing the election with no proof, MASS SHOOTINGS of Children in Schools where Military Grade Assault Weapons were used such as AR-15’s because they REFUSE to pass legislation which would make such weapons illegal.

RIDICULOUS Culture War & CRT nonsense, laws dictating what can be discussed in classrooms with huge fines of $10,000 against teachers for violations, their war on LGB & Transgenders, punishing Disney for exercising their freedom of speech, passing laws which Criminalize Assembly & Protests, Laws Legalizing Running over & Killing Protestors, Passing Anti-Choice Legislation Against Women, Turning the U.S. into a Gestapo Secret Police State by Placing $10,000 Bounties on anyone who helps a Women get an Abortion, Conspiracy Theories, LIES and refusing to eliminate the Electoral College which made two (2) unpopular & unqualified Republicans Presidents, who the majority didn’t vote for.

Republicans are now full-bore Anti-Democratic Fascist, Authoritarians dedicated to seizing power by any means necessary

We are only one election away from losing what little Democracy we have left unless Republicans are VOTED OUT.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

TODAY’S GOP: ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

Former Republican David Jolly unleashes on the ‘rotten to the core’ politicians of the GOP

These are, in today’s Republican party, spineless politicians rotten to the core without virtue, without any level of human integrity, devoid of self respect, self reflection…Without courage and without the moral compass to recognize their own malevolence.’

“There is no greater example of selling your soul to a charlatan than what Republicans are doing right now in the House and the Senate,” he added. “And their legacies are on the line just as much as Donald Trump’s.”

Jolly was a lifelong Republican until he jumped ship in 2018. Before then, he served in Congress from 2014 to 2017 following the death of his boss. He ran for Senate in 2016 but dropped out when Marco Rubio opted to seek a second term.
