Polls show at least 10% of conservative Republicans consider climate change a top priority, 24% consider it important and favor stronger Federal action. Paul Jay’s interview by Muslim TV.
This article was originally published on February 24, 2025, on CounterPunch. Jeffrey Sommers explores how Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire through the “Mother of All Privatizations” (MOAP). He traces Musk’s rise from under $1 billion in 2011 to over half a trillion during Trump’s presidency, fueled by post-2008 policies and COVID-19 stimulus. Reaching a trillion would require massive public-to-private wealth transfers—privatizing Social Security and Medicare, tax cuts for the rich, increased government funding for Musk’s firms, and public sector cuts. Sommers sees this as the final dismantling of the New Deal.

The whole argument for Jan 6 being a coup is so tortured that it is almost sad. You show Trump´s speech and he says NOTHING out of the ordinary in terms of fomenting a “riot”. And what indeed happened was the mildest riot in the history of man – so mild that the powers-that-be resorted to LYING about the death of the one cop and continue to say the “deadly riot” when in fact the only people killed were the “rioters” themselves. The whole idea that such a coup would have ANY chance of succeeding in today´s America is absurd on the face of it. And BTW – referring to the 75 million Trump voters as fascists is absurd as well!
Your interview work, on the other hand, is GREAT!
I’ve never called 75 million Trump voters fascists. I have said that the section of the American oligarchy that backs Trump, and sections of other classes that support Trump, are part of a movement that is fascist in character. I’ve often said that many Trump voters previously voted for Obama, and are not fascist or even essentially racist. I’ve also said many times that the events of Jan 6 were not the main event of the coup attempt, it was in the process leading up to Jan 6 that was more serious. That said, what I’ve done is based on quotes from mainstream sources, I haven’t claimed to complete a firsthand verified investigation. What I know as a fact is many mainstream sources thought a coup was in progress prior to Jan 6, from the Financial Times to the American Association of Manufacturers – an outfit that was pro-Trump for four years.
Thank you for this. Loved it! Please send me parts 2, 3, 4 of Ford on Reality Asserts. It seems Google is putting you back but picking and choosing your stories. Love what you’re doing. Just keep it up. raquel brac
