Are the sins of Russia the same as the sins of Radical Right?

There appears to be much in common with the allegations of Russian attempts to weaken the US and what the Radical Right has been doing.

  • Voter supression
  • Fake news, leaks
  • Encouraging sessesion
  • Weaponizing social media

It makes one wonder if there is collusion, or an accidental common behaviors. I wonder if Putin and the other cleoptocrats are not that much different than the Koch's.

Studying the Russian attempts to weaken the U.S. may awaken people to the Radical Right's attempts to do the same thing, with similar ends.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
