Apology to HRC supporters

I am not sure this is the right form to put this, because I made the comment on the primary forum, but I think it should go here. Earlier I made a thread called Bernie Should resign from the Senate. And in one of the comments on that thread I posted that a certain female candidate for the Democratic nomination had a wardrobe like Chairman Mao. People got upset and said it was sexist. They got a jury together and ruled it was sexist. So I want to offer an apology to those I offended.

What I meant to say is that Hillary Clinton and Jiang Qing have a very similar wardrobe. Yes, that is what I should of said. Yes, Jiang Qing and Hillary have similar styles in dress. I should not of compared Hillary's dress to Mao. Although, in another post I compared Mao's authoritarianism to Hillary's fervor for military action in other countries and all the deaths they have caused and her penchant for secrecy, her advocacy for the nat security state, etc. Yes, I compared Mao, who is responsible for millions of deaths during his reign to Hillary Clinton's militantism and her favor of the nat security state.

So I apologize for that too. Oh, wait I notice that none of Hillary Clinton's supporters were upset that I compared her way of governing to Mao's bloody regime. All the millions of deaths he caused and all the many hundreds of thousands of deaths HRC's decisions caused in Libya and Iraq (voting for Iraq war).

I want to double check. Yes that is correct Hillary's supporters were upset about the remark saying Hillary and Mao had similar garments not for saying HRC and Mao had similar authoritarianism impulses which caused (when added together) million of deaths.

So again I sincerely apologize for my earlier remark.

Bernie Sanders Should Resign From The Senate

once this primary season is over in order to continue with his new movement he started. He should send out a plan of action to all his supporters and then start making moves towards the issues that he and his supporters believe in. He can do this by going many routes and one of them is eyeing the 2018 elections.

As far as endorsing HRC, he should not. he should come out and say the system is corrupt and HRC has made herself incredibly wealthy off of this corrupt system so she has no intention of changing it. Since she can't be trusted to change it he can't be her ally instead he will will an adversary of this corrupt system and all those who support it.

He should take his millions of supporters and continue with the movement, but he can't do this by remaining a senator. It is time for him and his supporters to shove change down the throats of the democratic/republican establishment by becoming a new political force.

Hillary's Speeches To Goldman Sachs, Forget About The $ For A Second

Just put the money Hillary was being paid out of your mind. Leave the hundreds of thousands of dollars Hillary received from Goldman Sachs out of the discussion. Let's talk about Goldman Sachs and their behavior over the past decade. They were recently fined 5 billion dollars for fraud during the mortgage crisis in 2008. Their behavior was a big factor that contributed to the United States economic meltdown in 2008. It caused hundreds of thousands of jobs. millions of people lost their homes. Goldman Sach's even had there dirty little fingers involved in the Greek crisis which has evolved into a full blown depression.

Now, regardless of the amount of $ Hillary received. My question is this and as far as I know no one has asked this question yet. What the hell was Hillary doing associating herself with a company that uses fraud as one of its main tools to do business. What was Hillary doing associating herself with a company that caused so much destruction to the United States economy and caused so much destruction to the the lives of United States citizens?

Goldman Sach's practically admitted that fraud is what they were involved in regarding the housing market. Again, why would Hillary, let alone any good U.S. citizen want to associate themselves with a parasitic company like Goldman Sachs. Where is her moral compass regarding Goldman Sachs and what they did to the U.S. economy?

Why did she not ever ask herself the question," do I want to be around or be in the same company with a bunch of rich jerks who helped destroy the United States economy and thus destroying the lives of hard working American citizens, wrecking it with Goldman's chosen weapon, fraud. Or did she ask herself this question and her answer was "yeah I am ok with this".

I don't know what is worse Hillary asking herself and saying it was all ok or Hillary never even considering all the hurt that Goldman Sachs caused to the United States.

Hillary Wanted Troops in Libya (Vote For ME & I Will Give You Perpetual War!)

Hillary seems to light up when discussing war. When she was naming all the countries that are a danger to the U.S. She wants to go after Russia, after Isis is destroyed she wants to go to war with Syria in order to get Assad out.

She admitted she wanted to put US troops in Libya, but Libyan leaders insisted no foreign troops on the ground in Libya. What if Libya changes its mind? Hillary will put US troops in Libya.

Hillary still wants to put a no-fly zone in Syria, as if the facts on the ground are still the same as in 2011. Russia is now involved and very active in Syria, yet she still will attempt to put a no-fly zone in Syria. Now that is just bat-shit crazy.

How Hillary Helped Ruin Haiti

Yet more evidence that Hillary Clinton's horrendous bad judgement overrules what her supporters say is Hillary's key quality, her years of experience. And yes once again the Clinton Foundation seems to find itself in the middle of Sec. Hillary Clinton's policies regarding Haiti.


"Much of the blame for Haiti’s chaotic political scene can be pinned on Hillary Clinton’s State Department, whose handpicked president has only made things worse.

Last week Haiti’s Electoral Council postponed the nation’s current presidential election indefinitely. The present chaos is a fitting coda to the recent presidency of Michel Martelly, a novice politician who governed accordingly.

Amid the current upheaval, the name Mirlande Manigat is well worth recalling. As Haiti struggled to dig out from the disastrous 2010 earthquake, Manigat stood poised to become its first elected female president—until Hillary Clinton’s State Department intervened."

Hillary Clinton Says Honduras Coup Not Illegal

Hillary Clinton Says Honduras Coup Not Illegal In Daily News Editorial Board Interview

https://shadowproof.com/2016/04/12/hillary-clinton-says-honduras-coup-not-illegal-daily-news-editorial-board-interview/

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton insisted the Honduras legislature and national judiciary’s removal of President Manuel Zelaya in 2009 “actually followed the law” and was not an illegal coup. Her statement sharply contradicts the real-time assessment of Hugo Llorens, who was the United States’ ambassador to Honduras.

At a meeting with the New York Daily News editorial board on April 8, Clinton was asked about her direct involvement in “the coup in Honduras,” which took place when she was secretary of state.

As you know in 2009, the military overthrew President Zelaya. There was a period there where the OAS was trying to isolate that regime, but apparently some of the emails that have come out as a result of the State Department releases show that some of your top aides were urging you to declare it a military coup, cut off U.S. aid. You didn’t do that. You ended up negotiating with Oscar Arias [former Costa Rican president] a deal for new elections.

But the situation in Honduras has continued to deteriorate. There’s been 300 people killed by government forces, and all these children fleeing and mothers from Honduras over the border into United States. And just a few weeks ago, one of the leading environmental activist, Berta Cáceres, was assassinated in her home. Do you have any concerns about the role that you played in that particular situation, even not necessarily being in agreement with your top aides in the State Department?

The question was solidly framed, and it directly asked Clinton to take responsibility for her role in the coup, something most in establishment news media have been reluctant to do.

Clinton responded, “The legislature, the national legislature in Honduras and the national judiciary actually followed the law in removing President Zelaya. Now I didn’t like the way it looked or the way they did it but they had a very strong argument that they had followed the constitution and the legal precedence.”

“And as you know, they really undercut their argument by spiriting him out of the country in his pajamas, where they sent the military to take him out of his bed and get him out of the country. So this began as a very mixed and difficult situation,” Clinton added.

(Read the rest of article at above link)

At this point is anyone actually surprised by Hillary's thought process and reasoning.

But lets' disregard such bad judgement because she has experience! I would say she has tons of experience when it comes to her bad judgement. She has honed her bad judgment over 40yrs. It takes hard work, a lot of time, energy, and effort to build up such bad judgement.

Hillary did not just fall into having bad judgement. She did not inherit it nor was it given to her just because she was 1st lady & wife of a former President. No sir, she earned her bad judgment through hard work, determination, and ambition.

These are not just empty words Hillary has deeds to back up her bad judgment. These bad judgement calls include attacking Libya and turning it into a failed stated, voting for the Iraq war which led to more than 100,00 dead Iraqis, as SOS having a private server (which had 0 security features) located at her home. More bad judgement calls include being against gay marriage until recently, calling African American kids super predators, championing Nancy Reagan as a hero to the gay community.

Sexism, character assassination, taking tons of money from Wall Street, and a bunch of berniebros meanies are not gonna stop her from taking her bad judgement into the White House!
Vote Hillary, 2016!

How Hillary Clinton Bought the Loyalty of 33 State Democratic Parties

For all those who wonder why Hillary's super delegates are so loyal.

April 1, 2016
How Hillary Clinton Bought the Loyalty of 33 State Democratic Parties
by Margot Kidder

“It’s worse than wicked, my dear, it’s vulgar”

Punch Almanac, 1876

Collusion between the Clinton Campaign and the DNC allowed Hillary Clinton to buy the loyalty of 33 state Democratic parties last summer. Montana was one of those states. It sold itself for $64,100.

The Super Delegates now defying democracy with their insistent refusal to change their votes to Sanders in spite of a handful of overwhelming Clinton primary losses in their own states, were arguably part of that deal.

In August 2015, at the Democratic Party convention in Minneapolis, 33 democratic state parties made deals with the Hillary Clinton campaign and a joint fundraising entity called The Hillary Victory Fund. The deal allowed many of her core billionaire and inner circle individual donors to run the maximum amounts of money allowed through those state parties to the Hillary Victory Fund in New York and the DNC in Washington.

Bill Maher Perpetuates Lie About Hillary Clinton Server & Other SOS's

Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher in his monologue Bill talked about Hillary's email issue. Bill made the false claim that other Secretary of States had private email servers so Hillary is not the only Secretary of State to do so. Maher's reference basically is saying Hillary is being singled out unfairly as other SOS's who did the same thing have not been investigated or criticized for their actions. He went so far as to say all government officials have had private servers. What an incredible, out of this world lie to tell! All government officials have had private email servers! Wow, the gawl of spitting out such a crazy statement.

Bill's assertion that Hillary is being singled out depends on a total falsehood or let's call it like it is a lie. Colin Powell nor Condoleezza Rice had a private server at there homes, nor have any other Secretary of State. In fact they did not have a private server at all. Also, to my knowledge no other government official has ever had their own private server. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone make such a widely cast assertion.

So, Bll Maher now is on board with lying just so he can do his part in helping Hillary become the Democratic nominee. Week by week he has pissed away his reputation. To make an outright lie like this on live tv and expect no one to say or notice it. I guess Bill just like Hillary's campaign does not realize things like this can be easily fact checked.


Addition: this is what Rice and Powell had according to Newsweek, which is nothing at all like what Hillary had in her home.

"For classified information, both of them—and their aides with appropriate clearance—had a sensitive compartmented information facility, or what is known in intelligence circles as a SCIF. Most senior officials who deal with classified information have a SCIF in their offices and their homes.

These are not just extra offices with a special lock. Each SCIF is constructed following complex rules imposed by the intelligence and defense communities. Restrictions imposed on the builders are designed to ensure that no unauthorized personnel can get into the room, and the SCIF cannot be accessed by hacking or electronic eavesdropping. A group called the technical surveillance countermeasures team (TSCM) investigates the area or activity to check that all communications are protected from outside surveillance and cannot be intercepted.

Most permanent SCIFs have physical and technical security, called TEMPEST. The facility is guarded and in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week; any official on the SCIF staff must have the highest security clearance."

Hillary/Reagan South American Policies are Failed Policies of the Past

Hillary championing and trying to use the failed Central American policies of the 1980s to attack Bernie. These polices that Hillary has always stood for are exactly they type of policies Reagan championed and established in the 1980s.

These red-baiting Reagan like attacks against Bernie by Hillary and pundits on tv show they all live in an imaginary past. As if the 1980s South American Reagan polices were a smashing success. The past 20 years have proven the United States polices in South America and Central America were dismal failures. To argue, like Hillary did, that Sanders championed governments that killed, disappeared people, etc, is just dishonest. I would like to ask Hillary what was the United States doing during that time in Argentina, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, Bolivia, on and on. We were in bed with right wing dictators, we helped overthrow governments, we trained (in the school of Americas)government troops that were responsible for the deaths and disappearing of thousands of people. Our own CIA helped dictators silence all detractors through all sorts of horrible actions. I would also like to ask Hillary what brought on the Cuban Revolution in the first place. It was the United States meddling and continuing corruption of the Batista regime.

Right now in Central America the people are starting to bring to justice those in government whom the United States backed with intelligence, money, and arms.

Hillary and many pundits are still fans of this type of foreign policy. They are trapped in the past. The younger generations of Americans don't want that type of foreign policy anymore! Enough of it already. Hillary is still controlled by feelings and portraits of countries that were made in the 1970s and 1980s. That type of foreign policy failed. We need to move on and no longer hold these grudges and views of South America made by war mongering right wingers. By the way Hillary's support and active participation of the coup in Honduras proves she can't let go of that Reagan philosophy.
