America’s Corporate Enemy #3 Delta Airlines

Updated: Apr 26, 2021

When the Georgia legislature passed a new election integrity law, the CEO of Georgia-

based Delta Air Lines Ed Bastian apparently did not perform an analysis of the new election law. Instead, it looks like he decided to condemn the law to appease Far Left Progressive groups who were pressuring the company to make a statement.


USA Today reported Bastian issued a statement calling the new law “unacceptable” and “based on a lie,” after the company faced criticism that it didn’t speak out forcefully enough in opposition to the bill when it was being considered by the state’s Republican-majority legislature.


“The entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie: that there was widespread voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 elections. This is simply not true,” Bastian wrote, according to USA Today. “Unfortunately, that excuse is being used in states across the nation that are attempting to pass similar legislation to restrict voting rights.”


Bastian repeated that Delta “joined other major Atlanta corporations to work closely with elected officials from both parties, to try and remove some of the most egregious measures from the bill. We had some success in eliminating the most suppressive tactics that some had proposed.”


But, he emphasized, “I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values.”


As far as our research, and Mr. Google has revealed, what these “most egregious measures” are Mr. Bastian never stated publicly and as for the claim that the concerns addressed in the new Georgia law were based on a lie, how would Bastian know that?


Former President Trump and other critics of the conduct of the 2020 election have never gotten their day in court. Their claims have all been dismissed on procedural grounds and no court has ever conducted a trial, taken evidence and found against Trump’s claims.


What’s more, the new Georgia law is nothing compared to the identification and personal vetting that one must submit to board one of Delta’s airplanes or even enter a hanger where one of the planes is being worked on.


While Ed Bastian wants Georgia to do away with voter ID and sensible and fair ballot security measures, he would never run Delta Airlines that way:


To get into Delta headquarters or even a hanger you have to show ID.

To attend a Delta shareholder meeting, you have to show ID.

To vote in a Delta shareholders meeting you have to show ID, and prove you own stock in Delta Airlines.

If you wish to vote your Delta Airlines shares by mail a valid ballot with chain of custody is required, there are no unattended drop boxes or unsecured vote tallying centers when a seat on the Board of Delta Airlines is at stake.


In short, the new Georgia election integrity law makes it easier to vote in an election for President of the United States than it is to vote in the election of Delta’s next slate of Directors.


And who are Delta’s Directors?


Edward H. Bastian It would certainly be unfair of us to suggest that Bastian, as Chief Executive Officer of Delta, might have been influenced to fall into line with the Biden take on the Georgia law after he took a $5.4 billion bailout from the federal government as part of the CARES Act stimulus package. The bailout came on the heels of years of stock buybacks – $11.5 billion, in fact, between 2013 and 2019, but there you have it. An expert at hypocritical virtue signaling, Mr. Bastian recently renamed Delta’s headquarters building for the former Mayor of Atlanta, Congressman and Ambassador to the UN Andrew Young, a supporter of corrupt anti-democratic and authoritarian dictators, such as Robert Mugabe, and the murderous Palestine Liberation Organization.

As you can see from the biographies and political donations of the directors of Delta Airlines and the Coca-Cola Company there is an interlocking web of Far Left operators at the highest levels of corporate America who scorn the values of their customers and buy into the idea of fundamentally changing America into a one-party Democrat run state, where their oligopolies will be protected from the threat of another populist president.


Bryce Asberg concluded in a 2020 article for the Hillsdale College Collegian, “Corporate activism is particularly dangerous because it is so subtle. Few Americans know the decisions that go on in corporate boardrooms and shareholder meetings. You would think major media outlets would care about this way that democracy is dying in darkness, but so far they have had little to say. Perhaps any method, no matter how undemocratic, is acceptable if it can be used to advance progressive policy goals.”


We urge CHQ readers and friends to call and write the Directors of Delta Airlines to tell them you are on to their game and that if Delta continues to engage in Leftwing corporate activism you will find an air carrier where conservative values and American exceptionalism are welcome and to use just use a few mouse clicks to defend constitutional liberty and get in the battle against these Far Left corporations click here https://freeroots.com/go/gowoke-gobroke.

The Democrats have attacked our work force, our elections, our right to free speech, assembly, foreign influence, our energy sources, and now our food chain. What does all this sound like to you? Executive orders or dictatorship? These are not congressional passed laws. This is all going to lead somewhere and it's result will not be good. Our country is now well on it's way to being bankrupt. Their is a national epidemic of "corrupt democrats", change will be coming in 2022 , They are still trying to change our election laws for the future. Hopefully we'll see all these lifetime entitled Dems replaced. Let's look at the moral compass of the President " Hunter my son is the smartest…

You can call it socialism, but it isn't what THEY call it and at one time many Western European nations had income taxes that were over 100% for certain classes of income earners, but traditionally have very low corprate tax rates, lower then the US has had and what Quid Pro Joe wants to go back to which give business/corporations incentives to put more operations off-shore in order to avoid those high tax rates, which has the domino effect of decreasing the employment rate, lowering domestic productivity and reducing economic growth.

Democrats will have more to worry about for the midterms, the payback of the Christian's:

Why are Pelosi and Biden pushing for "tax payor funded abortions" in their "virus relief" packages? They said before when asked, they would not, the tax payors, want to know why they are now?. During a vice presidential debate last year, Biden said he personally accepted his church's teaching that" life begins at conception", and as a personal matter he opposes abortion. But he added that he would not impose his belief on others and believes every women should have the right to make that choice. This position is a contradiction in his reality, Biden and Pelosi play that game with the American public, it's…

A strong immune system is what protects me and most folks from the worst effects of the CoronaVirus. I will likely get vaccinated when I understand more about the various vaccines and possible side effects. I'm in good health for my age having recently undergone a battery of test for a possible cardiac condition that showed my heart to be in good condition. I remain confident that if I'm exposed to the virus that causes Covid19, I will likely survive with no symptoms or very mild ones as do the vast majority of folks that have acquired it; overall surival rate... 95% or better.
