How Vote Suppression Works in the USA As Explained by Greg Palast

from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein and Greg Palast

Hello Everyone!Yesterday I was joined by Greg Palast for a very important and eye-opening conversation about the reality of vote suppression in the USA. Our country has a history of vote suppression and, unfortunately, this has not gone away.But those of you who are out there worried about pirate satellites and whatnot need to put your fears aside and place your focus on actionable issues. This conversation is challenging, but it’s also empowering because Greg provides the knowledge we need to effectively resist the hostile takeover we’re experiencing.I first read Greg’s book ‘The Best Democracy Money Can Buy’ on an airplane on my way to Peru. It was a great honor for me to have him on this podcast, and I’m pleased to help him spread his message in some small way. You can follow Greg on Substack here:Also, you can watch ‘Vigilantes Inc.’ on his web page GregPalast.com.Let’s be clear, there is a lot of work for us to do. But we are always more equipped to do that work if we put aside our disconnected fears and focus on the real and tangible problems.Again, thanks to Greg for sharing an hour with me. This conversation gave me a lot to think about.I think the content of this video would be of interest to my other activist friends such as: Nick Paro, Frederic Poag, Lawrence Winnerman, Dana DuBois, Will Fullwood, Dr. Allison Wiltz, Zuri Stevens, Ben Ulansey, Ellie Leonard, and more.Thank you Brandon Ellrich, Jed, Shirley Figueroa, Gordon Soukoreff, foofaraw & Chiquita(ARF!), and many others for tuning into my live video with Greg Palast!
