Summary

Welcome to a Gaslit Nation blazing with the fury of an ocean oil spill fire! In today's episode, we discuss the corrupt politicians selling what's left of our country's soul and sovereignty to Exxon, the complicit officials who refuse to tackle the mafia state apparatus that makes the aforementioned collaboration possible, and who exactly stands to benefit from the melting of the Arctic and other disastrous effects of climate change.

0:00.0	I'm Sarah Kensier, the author of the best-selling books, The View from Flyover Country, and Hiding in Plain sight.
0:16.5	I'm Andrea Chalupa, a journalist and filmmaker, and the writer and producer of the journalistic thriller, Mr. Jones, about Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine.
0:27.0	And this is Gaslit Nation, a podcast covering corruption in the United States and rising autocracy around the world.
0:34.5	And today is the six-month anniversary of the attempted coup, the violent
0:41.7	attack on the capital by seditionist, insurrectionists who have yet to be punished. As I've said
0:48.6	before, a failed coup is a dress rehearsal, a political party that stages a coup and blocks investigation

1:39.6	What kind of country does nothing to prosecute a career criminal and Kremlin asset who has been

2:02.9	and when voting rights are destroyed by that syndicates court appointees?
2:08.7	It's the kind of country whose elites do not care if it exists anymore.
2:14.6	The behavior of the Democrats acting as accomplices to the Republicans is reminiscent of
2:21.4	how Soviet elites behaved in the late 1980s and early 1990s before the collapse of the USSR.
2:30.1	They plotted for the aftermath and decided how to divvy up resources. They planned for partition
2:37.0	and maximum profit. They covered up massive crimes with facile symbolism and hollow words. The will
