Who would have ever thought that it would be one lone Democratic Senator that would finally put an end our democratic voting system? The one person, one vote ideal we've been trying to achieve in this country. Maybe it's time now to make Joe Manchin’s name into a verb, as in “Manchining” — as in crippling a structural system of voting. As in, he “Manchined” the voting system, and can you believe it, he's a Democrat? In this week's edition of the Election Crimes Bulletin, Greg Palast and Dennis Bernstein talk about this and other insanities happening in the world of elections.

If you let Texans vote, and you stop gerrymandering them, it's not even a purple state, it's a deep blue state, but...

Greg Palast, an investigative reporter known for his hard-hitting work across prominent media platforms, dives into the sordid details behind the Deepwater Horizon disaster. He exposes a web of corruption and deception between BP and government officials, revealing how their unethical practices led to environmental devastation. Palast uncovers the company's expedited cement drying methods, significant cover-ups, and the alarming influence of corporate interests that threaten democracy and voting rights, particularly in marginalized communities affected by such disasters.

#SB202: Follow the money… It's not just about letting black people vote, it’s about letting a progressive agenda advance. Jim Crow has been a profit center for corporate America for generations, and we're calling it out. Learn more: https://www.gregpalast.com/hidden-horrors-in-the-georgia-vote-law/

The only person who’s safe under Georgia’s new anti-voting law is Jim Crow. The bill’s 95 pages long and every page is a new horror show — it’s like Stephen King wrote it.

Even before this act of terror happened, I can’t overemphasize how brutal the voter suppression was aimed at the Asian-American community — particularly in Georgia. And when you don't have political power, you don't have protection. The intimidation factor is very high — and it's coming from the top.

The Asian-American community is the fastest growing community in Atlanta and it’s the one that put Warnock and Ossoff over the top — and that scares the out of Georgia Republicans. So the Asian-American community are the prime target of their vote suppression attacks — it’s not just Jim Crow, now it’s Kim Crow.

The FBI is congratulating themselves on finding and arresting Capitol rioters — BUT WHY DID THEY LET THEM OUT OF THEIR CUSTODY IN THE FIRST PLACE? The FBI manual REQUIRES sealing off a murder crime scene — and arresting or at least getting the names and CELL PHONES with incriminating photos. Instead the rioters were given a f#@!ing police escort out of the crime scene. The investigation of January 6 must include the decision to let killers walk away — and FBI/police sympathy or even infiltration. Greg Palast on The Chip Franklin Show — March 12, 2021

For those of you who wanted to see Donald Trump skedaddled from the White House, this is the week you should be celebrating Thanksgiving giving thanks to Indigenous peoples for giving Biden the White House. The Native People’s vote provided the margin for Biden in Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona. In Arizona, for example, the Tohono O’odham nation voted 98% Democratic! If it were up to White folk, Trump would have walked away with Arizona, but Indigenous precincts in Navajo Nation lands reported a 60% to 90% vote for Biden-Harris. The Indigenous vote has been crucial before. In 2004, Native Nations gave John Kerry the votes he needed to win New Mexico and the presidency, but Kerry was never inaugurated… Because those native votes were never counted. That’s right. Never counted. Learn more: https://www.gregpalast.com/gop-trail-of-tears/

The Trump Treasury has ordered the Federal Reserve to shut down its program backing loans to small business and local government. This is like Hitler in his bunker who ordered his minions to blow up bridges, railways and the electric system when his demise was clear. The difference is, that in Hitler’s case, even his underlings refused the order to sabotage their nation. This is no joke: it’s a program to push the American economy over a cliff by Inauguration Day. Sick, vindictive, treasonous.
