Phony unanimity proves Egypt’s “constitution” a sham

Kevin Barrett

According to the al-Sisi junta, more than 98% of Egypt’s voters have approved a new “constitution” that establishes a permanent totalitarian dictatorship. That 98% figure says it all. Whenever 98% of voters supposedly vote for anything, you know the “election” is a sham. Fake unanimity is the hallmark of dictatorships.

Black Tuesday: Mourning the death of American democracy

Kevin Barrett

This election day, whoever you vote for, dress in black to mourn the death of democracy.
