What We Must Do Now:
Abrams, Georgia & Something Extraordinary
By Greg Palast

Days ago, I received a call from Stacey Abrams' lead attorneys. Our investigative team had "gold," as they put it, for litigating the election: Expert analysis proving 340,134 voters were wrongly purged. Plus, we had, on camera, victims of the purge, including the 92-year-old cousin of Martin Luther King.

But I'm a journalist, not a campaign operative. I could only offer my reports and my affidavit filed in federal court in Common Cause v. Brian Kemp.

With Stacey Abrams no longer in the race for Governor, we are now free to open our files to her new voting rights group, Fair Fight Georgia.

Did you note that Abrams cited our story of 92-year-old Christine Jordan purged from the voter rolls? That should give "Governor-elect" Kemp pause. Because that's the signal that this heartbreaking story will become the hammer to smash the Kemp-created Jim Crow machine.

(And Ms. Jordan is up to the task, telling me she's willing to take the fight into federal court, "If somebody will help me walk there.")

The immediate weapon will be litigation against the State of Georgia to show that the election was hopelessly tainted, which, under Georgia statute, could result in a court throwing out the whole rotting dung-heap of an election. That is why Abrams technically did not concede, but rather dropped her claim to office. (Lawyers will understand that she has to maintain "standing.")

Abrams vocally took up the issue of the massive purge of voters and intends to defend those purged. This is what's really historic about her candidacy. Yes, Abrams is the first African-American woman nominated for governor by the Democratic Party. More revolutionary is that she is the first Democratic candidate to demand an end to racist ethnic cleansing of the voter rolls. (If Al Gore had taken that stance in 2000, maybe Stacey would be Governor today and, hey Al, they'd be calling you Mr. President.)

Our investigation produced the facts and the names and addresses of the 340,134 voters wrongly purged for supposedly moving out of Georgia or out of their congressional districts but never moved an inch.

We are now free to hand over those lists to the Abrams litigation team, the NAACP, the SCLC, ACLU and others who are opening courtroom fronts. We are talking with them all.

And my own suit against Kemp and his successors continues in Atlanta federal court with my co-plaintiff, Helen Butler, Executive Director of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples Agenda. That group was founded by the Rev. Joseph Lowery, now 97. When I described to him the details of Brian Kemp's voter-roll trickery, he said, "It's Jim Crow all over again."

There was no despair in Lowery's voice about America's new backsliding on civil rights. Rather, he and Helen are up for the fight.

If Rev. Lowery and Christine Jordan are up for it, can we do anything but join?

And the battlefront is wide. While we're suing in Georgia, attorneys for the Palast Investigative Fund have also filed notices of suit in 25 other states that employ the Kemp-Kobach voter-erasing games. (Yes, Kris Kobach is the man in Kemp's shadow. Kobach provided Kemp with 106,000 of the names Kemp wrongly purged. Surprised?)

Kemp's "Getaway" Scheme
Why did Stacey Abrams have to end the fight over the count? Because Kemp not only planned his crime carefully and make no mistake, knowingly preventing citizens from voting is a crime Kemp also had a brilliant "getaway" scheme.

I saw it firsthand in DeKalb County on Election Day. I knew that some portion of the 340,134 voters wrongly purged would attempt to vote anyway as is their right under federal law. Any American that signs a statement that he or she is a citizen and provides a local address has the right to vote "provisionally."

This was Abrams' hope. If courts would order the counting of provisional ballots of those wrongly purged, she'd be governor. The GOP clearly thought of that. So, to being with, they simply refused to count the provisional ballots. But worse and this is as brilliant as it is evil and illegal officials simply refused to give voters provisional ballots.

So, you have to hand it to the Kemp forces: you can't have a court order the counting of ballots that were never cast: Like the ballot never cast by Yasmin Bakhtiari of Atlanta illegally refused a provisional ballot though she wouldn't leave the polling station for two hours until her third plea for a ballot was rejected.

And this is where our work is also helpful to rights litigants: we have gathered the names of victims and their stories. We even have an official caught on camera refusing a legitimate request for a provisional ballot.)

I have been investigating Brian Kemp for five years. And I remember in 2014 shocking a Legislator, Stacey Abrams, with Kemp's purge lists. She told my al Jazeera audience that she was furious that "our Secretary of State" was spending his time attacking the voter rolls.

Little did I imagine they'd be squaring off years later, and Kemp's voter-roll monkey business would be decisive in the ugliest way.

Back in 2014, Abrams was most concerned that Kemp was operating vampire-style, "stealthily" purging voters in a secretive operation.

And that's where investigative reporting comes in and I'm not talking about insider gossip and leaks but the years of work to extract the secret purge files, and to analyze reams of data that can tell a story. And today is when it pays off… not whether it helps this candidate or that, but whether the facts those brave bits of truth can speak.

I know a lot of my Democratic friends will be unhappy that their candidate lost. But don't miss the power of this moment: you can say, you were here when the new rights movement was born.

With a toothy boyish grin and "the common touch" Beto O'Rourke is gonna be the Prez in 2021.

That's what my crystal ball sez.

If Robert Kennedy had lived to become a hardcore "positive politics" punk rocker in 1980 you'd have Beto O'Rourke and another half foot in height.

Beto on Colin Kaepernick in Texas fercrissakes!

Fascism then. Fascism now?

by Paul Bigioni

Toronto Star, November 27, 2005 (www.thestar.com)



Observing political and economic discourse in North America since the 1970s leads to an inescapable conclusion: The vast bulk of legislative activity favours the interests of large commercial enterprises. Big business is very well off, and successive Canadian and U.S. governments, of whatever political stripe, have made this their primary objective for at least the past 25 years.

Digging deeper into 20th century history, one finds the exaltation of big business at the expense of the citizen was a central characteristic of government policy in Germany and Italy in the years before those countries were chewed to bits and spat out by fascism. Fascist dictatorships were borne to power in each of these countries by big business, and they served the interests of big business with remarkable ferocity.

These facts have been lost to the popular consciousness in North America. Fascism could therefore return to us, and we will not even recognize it. Indeed, Huey Long, one of America's most brilliant and most corrupt politicians, was once asked if America would ever see fascism. "Yes," he replied, "but we will call it anti-fascism."

By exploring the disturbing parallels between our own time and the era of overt fascism, we can avoid the same hideous mistakes. At present, we live in a constitutional democracy. The tools necessary to protect us from fascism remain in the hands of the citizen. All the same, North America is on a fascist trajectory. We must recognize this threat for what it is, and we must change course.

I'm posting this topic here, rather than on the book page, as I suspect its coverage of late 60's/early 70's CIA misbehaviour will be of interest to the regulars on this page. Shane O'Sullivan's Watergate book will be available on November 20th, a timely release date for the topic. It's 576 pages long and has good reviews from some other researchers.

Quote:DIRTY TRICKS: NIXON, WATERGATE AND THE CIA

https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-Tricks-Nixo...22&sr=1-26

The victory of Richard Nixon in the US presidential election of 1968 swung on an "October Surprise"a treasonous plot engineered by key figures in the Republican Party to keep the South Vietnamese government away from peace talks in Paris, costing thousands of American lives. Dirty Tricks provides compelling new evidence of Anna Chennault's Nixon-approved role in sabotaging the peace talks and ensuring a Nixon White House.

Dirty Tricks also provides the first detailed analysis of the CIA's recently-released internal history of Watergate, documenting the backgrounds of the burglars and their associations with the Agency in unprecedented detail, and how the Nixon White House sought to implicate the CIA in the emerging scandal. CIA Director Richard Helms' relationship with Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt was much closer than previously disclosed and the CIA agent inside the plot was sent on a double agent mission by American intelligence after he got out of prison.

The alleged target of the Watergate break-ins was DNC chairman Larry O'Brien's phone. Dirty Tricks reveals that the burglars didn't know where O'Brien's office was and tapped the wrong phone with a bug that didn't work while O'Brien was in Miami preparing for the 1972 convention. Prosecutor Earl Silbert could "never determine the precise motivation for the burglary" but Dirty Tricks explains the political and sexual nature of the calls overheard on DNC official Spencer Oliver's phone, and why no bug was found at the DNC until three months after the Watergate arrests.

Drawing on newly-declassified files and previously-unpublished documents, Dirty Tricks debunks the myths around Watergate and deepens our understanding of the "dirty tricks" that undermined democracy during the Nixon years. These scandals turn on the covert action of two powerful interest groupsthe senior CIA officers around Helms, and the key advisers around Nixonin this chilling story of political espionage and deception.


"While we have fundamental disagreements about 'Watergate' and the Deep State agenda that shaped it, O'Sullivan is to be congratulated on an impeccably researched work of investigative reporting that adds greatly to our understanding of the affair and its mysteries."

Jim Hougan, author, Secret Agenda


"Dirty Tricks goes well beyond anything yet published, in revealing the mysterious links between the Watergate scandal and the CIA. Was the bungled burglary part of an internecine effort to topple President Nixon? Was the cover-up for fear of secrets being divulged, from a Washington call-girl ring to the Kennedy assassination? This meticulously-researched book draws upon never-before-seen documents in addressing such questions, in a spy-versus-spy story that fills in major gaps in our recent history."

Dick Russell, author, The Man Who Knew Too Much


"Shane O'Sullivan's new book on Watergate, Dirty Tricks, draws on the millions of records that have become available since 2016, chiefly from the CIA. Anyone interested in comparing that crisis with the present needs to consult the fresh information and perspectives in this well-researched and timely book.

Peter Dale Scott, author, The American Deep State: Big Money, Big Oil, and the Struggle for U.S. Democracy

This series is about what I call the Posthumous Assassination of JFK. The efforts of the MSM and cheapjack writers to lessen his presidency in order to take the sting out of his assassination.

Back in about 1967-68, JFK was recognized for what he was, the best president on ciivl rights since Lincoln. That was not going to be allowed to stand, so Larry Sabato went to work on it in 2013. ANd then with the RFK and MLK fiftieth and the JFK fifty fifth, three books came out to further the smear.

Personally, I can only take so much of this baloney. So I spent about three months reading about 45 books on the subject, and filling five tablets full of notes. As usual, do not trust the MSM on anything about the Kennedys, either their lives or their deaths. JFK and RFK were even better on civil rights that I thought they were. And some people they were helping think that Bobby might have been killed over that.

Do you know who Charles Houston was? David Hackett? You should. Did you know the War on Poverty was not Johnson's idea. It was JFK's. And like many programs of Kennedy's it was changed by LBJ. For the worse.

Banned film on how the Israeli government influences British politics.

Not going to be good. Already the military are raiding libraries and universities and removing books on fascism because they say it is electoral propaganda. Bolsonaro has just been elected. He thinks Pinochet was a pussy. Is fine with torture, rape, killing gays and refugees. Good bye Amazon rain forest. He doesn't believe in science. Doesn't even pretend to understand it. Finance markets sees an opportunity.
