A Coup in Israel
[SultanKnish] "It is important for me to emphasize that the only ones who determine who the prime minister will be are Israeli voters. That is the essence of democracy," Prime Minister Netanyahu recently said.

That is what’s at stake here.

Fake news and fake cases have been used by the media and by political operatives to mask a real coup.

#5 The weak link in this chain is the media. Franklin, Jefferson et al knew that the only way to prevent a modern-era democracy from devolving into tyranny was through an independent and vigorous press.

What we have now instead is an auxiliary wing, a shock troop corps, of the political process.

All the social media nonsense is nothing more than a higher-velocity version of the immemorial arts of slander, innuendo, half-truths, tall tales and outright lies.

We need to amend and update the libel laws for this new environment.
