  1. It’s pleasing to see Greg Palast on Hartmann’s show; at last someone you can trust to expose the fraud in Western Politics. But I notice Hartmann shut down Palast as soon as he began to criticize the Democrat’s complicity in the Venezuelan Coup. When Palast said, 03:50 “You know what’s amazing to me Thom is that the Liberals in America, the Democratic Party leaders in America; look at it. I was at the Macon Georgia Trump rally and when they (Liberal Democrats) see those white supremacists yelling those white supremacist nasty slogans, and they see that scary white crowd that’s trying to make sure black people have no; in Georgia where they’re trying to stop a black woman from becoming governor, they denounced that, they (Liberal Democrats) denounced those crowds. Yet in Venezuela they’re (Liberal Democrats) literally backing this minority white coup d’état.” And that’s when Hartmann started his redirection away from the facts, 04:28 “But, but Greg . . . “ Hartmann then spewed some irrelevant rhetoric and then when directly into his “poor Venezuelan economic management” rhetoric specifically designed to distract from the fact the Liberal Democrats are supporting an illegal coup in Venezuela. In all political movements that endorse Imperialism, there are the oligarchs who control the narrative and the progression of events, there are their minions and puppets that carry out orders and spread the narrative, and then there are the fools who follow the rhetoric unquestioningly and support something they usually don’t understand. Palast has explained the Kochs and others are the oligarchs; Bolton, Pompeo, and Abrams are the minions; Hartmann appears to be one of their puppets they keep at arm’s length as Controlled Opposition, and so what does that make the viewer? What Hartmann has done is show his unwillingness to be critical of the selective minority issues the Democratic Party uses to manipulate its rubes. Palast has clearly shown the Democratic Party’s willingness to call out racism when it can be an advantageous political tool to promote their cause, but when it comes to those in foreign lands who are at threat from invasion or coup, those who are of little to no use to the Corporate Democrats can be sacrificed in the interests of their masters’ Empire. I don’t blame Hartmann from going down that road; the road that shows complete hypocrisy and how Democrats use minority issues as tools of opportunity.
