Stolen again. Democrat Dan McCready supposedly lost the special election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District to Republican Dan Bishop by less than 4,000 votes. However, racially biased vote suppression schemes easily account for the supposed GOP victory margin. Learn more: https://www.gregpalast.com/jim-crow-steals-n-carolina-9th-cd/

On this edition of Flashpoints we talk about how Trump’s Mexico tariffs will crush the US economy.

Greg Palast discusses the new charges WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange faces under the Espionage Act with Critical Hour host, political scientist, author and nationally syndicated columnist. Dr. Wilmer Leon.

"We have a First Amendment for a reason, and it doesn't say unless it's embarrassing to the U.S. government, unless Hillary Clinton doesn't like it, unless it makes it difficult for the State Department to play the games it plays," says Palast. "The point is we are government of the people, by the people. It's not their information. It's ours. And all Julian Assange did was give us our information which our own government was wrongly and illegally concealing from us."

In this episode of Flashpoints, first broadcast by KPFA on April 11, 2019, Greg Palast and host Dennis J. Bernstein discuss Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, WikiLeaks, press freedom, Brexit, and more....

Kris Kobach has a long history of racism. He started out as a lawyer for a white supremacist group called FAIR, which says its purpose is to maintain a European majority America. He's the author of SB 1070, which the ACLU calls the Driving While Brown law. He's the guy who came up with a racially biased voter purge program called Interstate Crosscheck, which helped elect Donald Trump in 2016, and Brian Kemp over Stacey Abrams in 2018. He came up with the idea of putting the citizenship question on the census. He's also very proud of the fact he came up with the idea for Trump's wall — and that Mexico would pay for it.

Kobach, for all his wacky moves, is a brilliant and dangerous spider in the Right Wing web. He has law degrees from Yale, Harvard, and Oxford, and therefore he’s a master criminal, in the sense that he has violated the law again, and again, and again — particularly a document called The Constitution. But he’s brilliant at coming up with sophisticated and bogus arguments, making stuff sound reasonable and legal, when it’s not even close to it.

The reason Trump wants to create the Immigration Czar job for him is that it doesn’t have to be confirmed by the Senate. The Republican senators from Kansas — Kobach's own state — said they wouldn’t vote to confirm him if he were named for a cabinet post like Homeland Security. And this is worse. This puts him in charge of Homeland Security.

Palast on Drive Time with Dave Glover by Greg Palast

Gerrymandering, voter suppression, a crisis at the border, all these things go together, and that’s why Kobach is so dangerous…The truth is he’s kind of like a Steve Bannon, he’s a very brilliant guy with a very widespread understanding of how all these thing interlock in a most dangerous way. They cannot win in America legitimately because of the demographics, this is a changing nation. It's not about securing the borders, it's not about stopping illegal aliens, it's not about stopping drug traffic, it's about creating hysteria so they can stop certain groups of legitimate voters from voting. That's the real agenda that's being completely missed by the mainstream media. And it’s a way to effectively cut the vote by cutting the census count in Hispanic congressional districts. It’s quite brilliant. If you want to beat Beto O’Rourke out of Texas, take away his voter base by scaring them off. And if you want to take away Democratic control of the House, you simply shrink Democratic districts. You shrink the population in those districts so you can gerrymander them.
