This week on CounterSpin: Much can and will and should be said about the, yes, presidential election of, yes, Donald Trump—including about media’s role. On this first post-election show, we focus on the question of: What now? What now for electoral reform and congressional diversity? For the environment? For Muslim-Americans and others made vulnerable by the so-called “War on Terror” in its domestic and international fronts?
It’s not to say that how we got here is unimportant—it most certainly is—but to help us keep front and center that the purpose of reflection and criticism is to enhance our abilities to actually change things.
We’ll hear from Rob Richie and Cynthia Terrell from FairVote, from Patty Lovera from Food and Water Watch, from author and professor Deepa Kumar, and from Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies.
Transcript: ‘Yesterday We Were Stunned, Today We Organize’
First we take a very brief look back at recent press.
People are not accepting the Trump as President. They are thinking that Clinton will be Next one but now its against their thinking and They are protesting again Trump victory. They also called weekend protest.
I think, we must need to accept now all these things because we can’t change it what happened. But our protest will lead to investigation what actually happened
ATTACK GOVERNMENT — NOT THOSE WHO SUPPORT GOVERNMENT
Protests against government is always beneficial, but protests against voters, where anti-Trump protesters have a shouting match with Trump voters, this is exactly what the rich want us to do, as it helps to keep us divided and leads to bloodshed. Yesterday a Trump voter was shot in a California protest. Look at Venezuela, perhaps over 100 have been killed by anti-government protesters hired by the rich. Reports are the George Soros if funding provocateurs to cause violence in protests against Trump voters.
NO ROOT CAUSE = NO SOLUTION
Comes now CounterSpin to talk about bigotry and predigest against all kinds of people, but not one word about our enslaved people. Not the slightest hint that the root cause of a corrupt democracy is the bigotry and predigest of college educated people against uneducated people, as evidenced by the fact that Empire USA was created so that the white upper-half of society could own all the land, wealth and political power.
So, as 95% of the upper-half of society already owns all the land and wealth, as 100% of the middle-class is in the upper-half of society, the only hope for a change in government is to organize the impoverished laboring-class lower-half.
And how you do that is by stop giving your time, energy and wealth to your churches and social clubs that have not a single laboring man in attendance.
Instead, have compassion, pity and charity to the enslaved men of society, the slow of thought laboring men who government makes sure that they never win in divorce court, laboring men who are enslaved by a matriarch ruled society such that most live separate from their minor children.
You mean the predominately African-American men who are incarcerated due to victimless drug offenses and separated from their families, while being forced to labor to enrich McDonalds and Starbucks? I hope so.
We need to use this Trump victory as an opportunity to once and for all destroy the corporate media’s stronghold on spoon-feeding moderate positions to people. CNN, MSNBC and even C-Span are turning into entertainment. If I wanted to hear a bedtime story, I could watch Winnie the Pooh. The only difference between these channels and Fox is TONE.
