Act Out! [93] - Why We Can’t Blame Russia & Who We Should Blame

Act Out! [93] - Why We Can’t Blame Russia & Who We Should Blame
Wed, 12/21/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out!, in a special episode, I've got some questions: What makes a news outlet a Russian propaganda site? Did the Russians actually hack or leak or in any other way tamper with our elections? How safe and fair are our elections and could voting machines be used for something more fun – like playing PacMan? And finally, journalist Mnar Muhawesh joins us to talk real – vs. fake – news.

Donald Trump a Traitor?

Yes, Donald Trump could potentially be impeached and removed from office for being a "traitor." But President Obama was even MORE of a "traitor" because of his highly dishonest and morally depraved TPP/TTIP/TiSA efforts to hand over control (for most practical purposes) of all three levels of our government to a cartel of greedy multinational corporations led by CEO's who "have no god but money" and don't really give a damn how many people they impoverish and/or kill in order to "increase their corporation's bottom line."

Also, for over 100 years now, interfering with other country's electoral processes (to further or protect "US corporate interests") has been a MAJOR FEATURE of US foreign policy (especially Latin America and notably in Iran as well). This has included US sponsorship of coup de tat's, insurgency movements, outright military invasions, and full-scale occupations of foreign countries. Such interference by the Obama Administration alone has already created a perpetual state of anarchy in Honduras, and VERY BLOODY CIVIL WARS in Syria, Libya, and the Ukraine. So it is HIGHLY HYPOCRITICAL for us to complain about other countries interfering in our electoral process.

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.

From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
