Solartopia Green Power and Wellness Hour – 12.08.16

We re-visit the nightmare that has become THE GREAT AMERICAN NON-RECOUNT.

In an election where the “loser” won by 2.6 million votes and the “winner” thinks he was robbed of 3 million, the bloviating Democrats and corporate media mavens have united AGAINST a recount.

Meanwhile it’s been left to Jill Stein and the Greens to try to get one done in a vote count obviously saturated with theft, fraud and utter hypocrisy.

So we are once again joined by Green attorney ROBERT FITRAKIS, filmmaker “(the Best Democracy Money Can Buy”) and investigative reporter GREG PALAST and by Alternet election correspondent STEVE ROSENFELD, to sort through the Gorey details.

If you care about what’s left of our democracy, don’t miss this show….but you might want to drink some nerve-claiming herbal tea as you do….

David Korten – The Elephant in the Room: What Trump, Clinton, and Even Stein Won’t Mention

In this most bizarre of presidential elections, no one is talking about one of the biggest—if not the biggest—issues of our time.

Not Hillary Clinton, despite her many substantive proposals that the media largely ignores. Not even …

Stephen Zunes – Millennial Apathy and a Possible President Trump

Despite the widely recognized shellacking of Donald Trump by Hillary Clinton in Monday night’s debate, polls show that the presidential race remains surprisingly and disturbingly close. There are a number of reasons for this, including the historical tendency for an incumbent party to lose support after eight years in office, and a shift among white working class voters who supported Barack Obama in the …

VINCENT EMANUELE – Liberal Antiwar Activism is the Problem

Every election season, veterans and their families are used as political pawns. During the Democratic National Convention in Philly, the Khans, the mother and father of a Marine Captain who was killed in Iraq, conveniently filled the role for Hillary Clinton and the Neoliberals. At the Republican National Convention, Patricia Smith gladly took the stage for the Neofascists and talked …

Adele M. Stan – 12 Ways Gary Johnson Is a Hardcore Right-Wing Radical

A recent NBC News/Quinnipiac poll reveals that more than a quarter [3] of young voters—many who had supported the presidential bid of Sen. Bernie Sanders—plan to cast their presidential ballots for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Democrats are increasingly nervous that Johnson’s candidacy could pull more voters from Hillary Clinton than from her Republican rival, Donald Trump, especially in key states like Colorado …

Kevin Gosztola – Your Vote For Jill Stein Is Not A Wasted Vote

When Jill Stein ran as the Green Party’s presidential nominee in 2012, media attention to her candidacy was rare. Now, with two of the most unpopular presidential candidates in history, she has received widespread attention. There seems to be record interest in third party campaigns, including Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. The Nation published a debate between Socialist Seattle City …
