One doesn't preclude the other.
I understand that Trump has called for a temporary halt to sunrises until we figure out what the hell is going on.

He is going to build a wall to prevent them from happening. And you can believe him to, because everyone is going to be happy about it.

Ya'll are right. I should not have compared the theory that NASA faked the Moon Landing to the theory that the Russians hacked our election.

The Fake Moon Landing Theory is far more credible.

My bad.

Hey Tom,
I don't know enough about voting ballots or procedures to comment on them being ABLE to be hacked. But I think I would agree that if it was possible for them to do so, they would. Same as North Korea, China, and any other super power that could gain from it.

BTW, the picture I attached has sometimes been touted as the most important thing we acquired from the race to the moon. It changed how we look at ourselves. We are all on this rock together, our countries and our peoples live together.

Thank God we don't do anything like that. When we want to change leadership in another country we just orchestrate a coup, or better yet, invade their asses.

Quote:
Noam Chomsky calls William Blum's classic, Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions since World War II, "Far and away the best book on the topic." If you're looking for historical context for what you are reading or watching on TV about the coup in Ukraine, Killing Hope will provide it. The title has never been more apt as we watch the hopes of people from all regions of Ukraine being sacrificed on the same altar as those of people in Iran (1953); Guatemala(1954); Thailand (1957); Laos (1958-60); the Congo (1960); Turkey (1960, 1971 & 1980); Ecuador (1961 & 1963); South Vietnam (1963); Brazil (1964); the Dominican Republic (1963); Argentina (1963); Honduras (1963 & 2009); Iraq (1963 & 2003); Bolivia (1964, 1971 & 1980); Indonesia (1965); Ghana (1966); Greece (1967); Panama (1968 & 1989); Cambodia (1970); Chile (1973); Bangladesh (1975); Pakistan (1977); Grenada (1983); Mauritania (1984); Guinea (1984); Burkina Faso (1987); Paraguay (1989); Haiti (1991 & 2004); Russia (1993); Uganda (1996);and Libya (2011). This list does not include a roughly equal number of failed coups, nor coups in Africa and elsewhere in which a U.S. role is suspected but unproven.

Have you read Killing Hope I haven't. I saw the titles of his other books. I think he is very biased. He certainly presents himself this way. It makes it very hard for me to consider him objective.

He is biased.

Doesn't change the fact that the US is always meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. And we go way beyond trying to influence elections. If we don't like another counties leader we fucken kill em and install someone we do like.

So when you say, "Oh, they would hack our elections if they could" I wanted to point out that that would be small shit compared to what we do.
