A Forum for Discussing the Green Party Campaign
I have followed the position on electoral politics based on the position taken by Noam Chomsky, even before he went public over it in the current elections: In safe states, vote for progressive third parties, in battleground states, vote to keep the Republicans out by voting Democrat. And above all, stay active during the rest …
[Draft.] Stein’s first foray into Russian politics An examination of Jill Stein’s Twitter feed from the beginning of her political career shows no particular interest in Russia. Indeed, the only mention of Russia we found up in her previous election campaign was a curious tweet. By way of background, Dr. Stein had been arrested on …

I think by now we are familiar with the #PizzaGate conspiracy theory. Briefly, it was a theory that jumbled Wikileaks posts with anti-Clinton conspiracy theories in the blender of far-right Trump sites to come up with the claim that a pizza shop was running a Democratic Party pedophile ring in its basement. (General Flynn, Trump’s …
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Alexei Pushkov, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Russian Federation’s State Duma, and French fascist leader Marine LePen and same. You can say a lot about a person by the company she keeps.

In another “What is Aleppo moment,” Jill Stein, perennial supporter of the Putin-Assad war of annihilation against the Syrian people, has discovered that the fighting has nothing to do with a popular uprising against a ruthless dictator and a brutal response, but a secret war over pipelines. She found enlightenment in an article published on …
Wikileaks fights the Rothschilds! On October 22, 2016, Wikileaks posted this odd link. It seems to divide the baby of conspiracy theory between the Hillary Clinton is Satan harlots and the Rothschilds are Satan harlots. The cover of that week’s Economist featured a rather lurid picture of Putin. Wikileaks rushed to label this Hillary Clinton …

On the first day of his visit to the archive, the archivist on duty gave him the documents but on the second day, another archivist said he couldn’t find them. This …
Here is another example of Wikileaks disinformation. Here, we can see Wilileaks recycling a story published on a right–wing site purporting to prove that the financier, supporter of liberal causes, and veteran target of right–wing smears, George Soros, is ordering Hillary Clinton to do his dastardly deeds. The story is based on a declassified telegram …
