Vladimir Kara-Murza: U.S. tech companies are 'acting as accomplices to dictatorships'

[Uncle Joe]

Vladimir Kara-Murza knows a thing or two about the dangers of government-sponsored, tech industry-supported censorship. As a Russian opposition activist, he was found guilty of treason for speaking out against Putin’s crackdown on dissidents. And now, in the context of Trump’s government overhaul, U.S. tech companies are “essentially acting as accomplices to dictatorships.” “Those companies that declare their adherence to principles such as the rule of law, respect for human rights, respect for democracy, they have to actually follow these principles, as opposed to helping dictatorships overcome them.”

5. He was also part of the "businessman's Plot" trying to install a "business friendly" Nazi style government.

They even tried to get about 500,000 ex US Army troops in an attempt to get rid of Roosevelt..
Good old General Smedly Butler (their guy to lead the military coup) told the Prez and that shit stopped real quick...
