Recommended: Key points in Blagojevich-Carlson interview

Writes Rick Rozoff:

In the interview they discuss how elections are stolen through absentee ballots, ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Kosovo after 1999 and the ethnic cleansing and killing of 12 million Germans after WWII, political weaponization of the courts, Hispanics voting for Trump and other key points.

What Blagojevich doesn’t mention is that he got into politics because his father-in-law, Richard Mell, was a Chicago political kingmaker at the time. And he doesn’t mention that when he ran for governor he turned over – sold? – his congressional seat to Rahm Emanuel, who appears to have played a key role in later doing him in.

It’s also my recollection that Blagojevich cast a vote *in favor* of the mandatory 60-day War Powers Act authorization for the further bombing of Yugoslavia.

I was at Operation PUSH the Saturday after the delegation led by Rev. Jesse Jackson and which included Blagojevich (and a Serbian Orthodox priest, also present at PUSH). Jackson held a press conference after the main event which included a comprehensive account of the history of the Balkans. Didn’t get much coverage, as you might imagine.

Cued for about 1:14:00

The two discuss NATO’s 1999 war against Yugoslavia. Carlson says it was one of worst crimes in modern times and it’s a tragedy it’s been forgotten. Blagojevich says Hillary Clinton planned to run for Senate in New York in 2000, so she appeased Joe DioGuardi and his Albanian American Civic League by “liberating” Kosovo the year before.
