    When it comes to manipulating foreign elections, the American ruling elite and its media and political stooges know whereof they speak. The United States is the world leader in interfering in other countries’ elections. Professor Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University has assembled a database documenting as many as 81 occasions between 1946 and 2000 when Washington interfered in elections in other countries. This number does not include military coups or regime-change efforts following the election of candidates the US opposed, as in Iran, Congo, Guatemala, Chile and many other nations.

    In 1996, the White House and President Bill Clinton personally mounted a massive campaign to secure the reelection of Boris Yeltsin, whose comprador regime had been installed in the first place to oversee the dissolution of the Soviet Union and restoration of capitalism.
    ++

    By the time Yeltsin announced in early 1996 that he would be running for a second term in the presidential election scheduled for that summer, he had become one of the most despised figures in Russia, having presided over the catastrophic consequences of the privatization of the Russian economy. The impact included a GDP decline of 50 percent, hyperinflation, rampant corruption, skyrocketing violent crime, the collapse of medical services, food and fuel shortages, nonpayment of wages and pensions, and a plunge in life expectancy. Added to this toxic mix was Yeltsin’s highly unpopular war with Chechnya....

    You can actually do that? Amazing what a right-wing Trump blower can accomplish when he tries. Yesterday, not a few administrations ago, our president, the one you love so much, turned against the US, the FBI, and the CIA. He bowed to Putin and said his denials were more believeable than the investigations done by the pros, And you bought it, or pretend it is normal. All the agencies say Putin hacked our elections and tried to help Trump become president. Putin said he wanted Trump, right after Trump said they didn't.

    Putin has something on Trump. I don't know if it is pee tapes or proof of Trumps money laundering. Bannon said Triumps biggest problem is money laundering.

    I know, trump can release his taxes. Must be a reason he didn't. Maybe Russian loans and money laundering.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
