Watch this 103-sec clip from our new film Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman, and meet one of Gov. Kemp’s 88 voter challengers. This one likes to dress up like vigilante Doc Holliday – with a loaded six-gun.

No joke, “Doc”—Chairman of the Muscogee County, Georgia, Republican Party—challenged 4,000 voters incl. the US military’s expert on Warfare of the Future. Like most of the quarter million Georgians challenged by these GOP operatives, he's African-American. gregpalast.com/a-103-seconds-…

ERIC was supposed to expand voter registration. But a number of GOP Secretaries of State have taken it over and inverted it, basically creating a Crosscheck replacement.

The idea of ERIC was that if you moved, they would say, hey, would you like to register in your new state? That’s good. But Instead of helping voters register, the GOP are using the ERIC lists, which are often wrong, to remove voters by the millions. gregpalast.com/election-crime…
I did an investigation for @BlackVotersMtr in Wisconsin, where Biden’s margin was only 20,000 votes. They were going to remove 130,000 voters from the rolls. We found just short of 40,000 people on the ERIC-generated had never moved—a 25.8% error rate.

In November, you not only have the rematch between Stacey Abrams & Brian kemp for Governor, but Sen. Rev. Warnock's running for reelection against Herschel Walker, the big football hero. We have a 50/50 Senate, so there’s a lot at stake. via @FacepalmUSA

If the public says no more Warnock, or we don’t want Stacey, I have no problem with that. I’m kind of a fan of democracy, of counting the votes. The problem in Georgia is that they are at the cutting edge of what we politely call “vote suppression”. gregpalast.com/its-jim-crow-2…
The only reason #BrianKemp is Governor is that he removed over half a million people from the voter rolls before he ran against #StaceyAbrams four years ago. truthout.org/articles/gops-…

Why is #Georgia Governor #BrianKemp playing hide and seek with the Atlanta grand jury investigating whether Trump and associates attempted to tamper with the 2020 election results? Why is Kemp resisting the subpoena? gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…
Kemp’s resistance to testifying seems all the more odd because Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has bent over backwards to accommodate the skittish pol, agreeing he could appear by video — she was even going to let his attorney sit in with him!
It’s always dangerous to speculate on what’s going on in #BrianKemp’s brain, but let me suggest that he knows his benign status as mere “witness” may quickly change to something far more serious. gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…

Rather than raise interest rates, the Fed should simply throw a virgin into a volcano. It would have the same effect on inflation: zero.

#InterestRates #FederalReserve #Economics #Oil
nytimes.com/2022/07/25/bus…
As a recovering economist I can tell you that this is a supply-push inflation. Putin’s invasion (and Saudi collusion) have sent oil, fertilizer, grain, and edible oils prices through the roof and that pushes everything through the roof. gregpalast.com/how-to-stop-pu…
So chilling demand by raising interest rates is voodoo economics at its worst.

📽️Vigilantes: Georgia’s #VoteSuppression Hitmen

Our team bust the most brazen, racist attack on #VotingRights yet — engineered by #Georgia’s Brian Kemp to ensure victory in his rematch with Stacey Abrams gregpalast.com/vigilantes-geo…

For release, Fall 2022.
Featuring @MsLaToshaBrown, co-founder of @BlackVotersMtr — and a host of Confederate “reenactors” waiting for next insurrection — our film busts open the secret source of #BrianKemp’s ancestral wealth and power: slavery. gregpalast.com/vigilantes-geo…
#BrianKemp has kept his history of privilege and political fixes well hidden — including the long history of exploitation by his family aimed at both enchained Blacks and politically helpless poor whites.

Faux “hero” #BradRaffensperger will take a bow in front of the #January6thCommittee for supposedly standing up to Trump’s demand that he “find” 12,000 votes. But where did Trump get the idea of massive vote fraud in Georgia? From Brad. gregpalast.com/stealing-georg…
McCathy-like, he told the press that over 1,000 Georgians had voted twice. (Never named one; not one arrested.) And just weeks ago, he said thousands of non-Georgians voted. (Never named one; not one arrested.)
Worse, Raffensperger DID try to “find” Trump votes: his operatives disqualified tens of thousands of ballots in 2020, challenged over 100,000 voters, and directed an illegal purge of 198,000 voters. gregpalast.com/democracy-now-…
