Why Asian-Americans were the main target of GOP vote suppression in Georgia

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.

Election Crimes Bulletin: It’s not just Jim Crow, now it’s Kim Crow.

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.

#DCRiots: Why Did They Let The Perps Go?

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

GOP Trail of Tears: Giving Thanks to Indigenous Voters

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/

In scorched earth move, Trump Treasury orders Fed to shut down essential loan guarantee program

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.

Georgia: Ossoff / Purdue race was a straight up steal

The Jon Ossoff / David Purdue race looks to me like a straight up steal. For example, in Gwinnett County, which is a suburban county of Atlanta, a staggering 30% of mail-in votes have been rejected, and we know it's overwhelmingly Democratic. There's also a massive number of provisional ballots that weren’t counted. I understand that it's 10,000 — at least — in Atlanta and the surrounding area. And we know 40% of all provisional ballots nationwide are thrown out. URGENT: We need to get ALL the 198,351 voters wrongly purged from Georgia's voter rolls reinstated/re-registered in time to vote in the January 5 run-off elections — registration deadline: Dec 7.
