If I had to pick one piece by Thom Hartmann to share with all of us here in America - right now -,this would be it. Today's "Report" covers all of the most fundamental threats we are confronted with in our daily reality of life under increasingly hostile occupation. The second coming of Timothy McVeigh as a well organized and heavily financed faction is upon us all. It is here.
The burden to push back the undead, to reclaim America as an opportunity for all, and the duty to defend common decency are left in our charge and our charge alone.
I do love all of his pieces, but I agree with you on this one. I felt that this is the most important one (thoroughly put together) and that I wish for it to be spread widely. There are so many that know almost nothing about what has been happening in this country. Unfortunately, we will continue our "sleepwalking into a dictatorship", or whatever it will be.
Thom hit this one out of the park. His composition would make a great outline for another one of Thom's books, he could call it, 'The Hidden History of the Rise of Fascism in the United States'. Thom could released it just before liberals, blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Jews are forced to exit the country, or be shipped to the concentration camps.
The suspicions of the existence of a 'vast right wing(fascist)conspiracy' since Hillary Clinton uttered the words on a debate stage, have since grown exponentially. Last week 6 Republican justices on the Supreme Court made it crystal clear they were fascist co-conspirators, with all the cunning and deception one would expect from Ivy League lawyers raised in elite Christofascist bubbles that have been raised to believe the left is the enemy. The evidence of a pro-fascist movement has been building, ever since the Donald first hit the campaign trail in 2015. But history shows it began even before the Powell Memo in the 1950s & 60s when Robert Welch and one of a dozen co-founders, Fred Koch, established the radical right wing libertarian organization, the John Birch Society. Radical libertarian politics was normalized in the militarily strict Koch patriarchy. Fred's son David Koch ran on the Clark/Koch libertarian ticket in 1980, but flopped. When Charles & David regrouped, the Koch political operation, they would lavishly fund far right conservative causes, primarily mandated to dismantling agencies and deregulation. And they were off to the fascism races.
Last week, the billions that their networks distributed, in campaign bribery dollars, bore fruit in a big way, swaying their purchased Supreme Court justices. The gifts to the Koch network billionaires came in the form of Chevron deference & presidential(dictator) immunity. If you find this upsetting Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durban's phone number is 202-324-7703, let him know you want Supreme Court investigations. And a SCOTUS inspector general armed with tough, Senate imposed, SCOTUS ethics reforms.
