HILLARY'S I AM NOT A CROOK MOMENT ON THE BIG STAGE











Watch closely Hillary's body language as she obviously lies during her recent news conference and how a black aide literally pulls her off the stage before she says too much ~ much like Nixon's body language after his famous I am not a crook speech in 1973 while supposedly welcoming an inquiry from the press about his obstruction of justice: Allen L Roland, PhD

 

 

Hillary Clinton vs. James Comey: Email Scandal Supercut  1:47

by ReasonTV / ~ I have nothing to hide speech in 2016 after a FBI review of her incriminating personal emails.


 




 

 






Richard Nixon vs the press ~ I am not a crook speech 43 years ago with a stack of his own incriminating tapes on a table behind him.Two minute video ~


 

It been 43 years since Nixon's speech and some things never change regarding politicians and how many are corrupted by power as well as their own arrogance, hubris, sense of entitlement and infallibility.

 

I would most certainly be remiss if I did not include Bill Clinton's contribution to the Clinton's well-oiled lie machine on January 26, 1998 ~ I  minute video


 

Perhaps only H.L. Mencken can makes sense of this ~

 “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable...”
~ H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: Third Series

 

WSWS perfectly captured the recent unity meeting in Portsmouth, Maine between Sanders and Clinton ~ "The unity rally featuring Sanders and Clinton in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had all the spontaneity and enthusiasm of a going-out-of-business sale. The funereal atmosphere was perhaps fitting, because with the demise of the Sanders campaign, the Democratic Party has demonstrated, for the thousandth time, its historical role as the graveyard of progressive movements and efforts to achieve reform through the capitalist two-party system."  See article ~ http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/07/13/pers-j13.html

 

I'm disgusted and going green in 2016 and for the same reason I did in 2012. See VT Column.  http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/09/27/why-not-go-green-jill-stein-for-president/comment-page-1/

WHY NOT GO GREEN / JILL STEIN FOR PRESIDENT





























I'm fed up with the lies, the corporate funding and the dumbing down of the 2012 Presidential election and, like millions of Americans, I long for a common sense approach to what 99% of Americans really want in their president. Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein is singing that populist song and she gets my vote: Allen L Roland

A recent USA Today poll reports that an estimated 90 million people who could vote this year probably won't, as they're disappointed in both candidates and major political parties.

So as Carl Gibson correctly points out in ICH ~  " What if just two-thirds of those 90 million people turned out for a candidate with a truly bold vision, who isn't beholden to corporate donors or bought party elites? It would be a colossal upset for the establishment, and a big win for citizens."

Gibson goes on to write  ~ Jill Stein is a candidate that the other 90 million of us can get excited about. Picture the populist candidate Barack Obama once was in 2008, minus the financial support from Wall Street banks and oil companies, and the fawning coverage from mainstream media outlets. In her Green New Deal, she's vowing to end drone strikes, tightly regulate Wall Street, halt all government-funded construction of fossil fuel-dependent projects, and end all foreign wars and occupations. She unabashedly calls for higher top tax rates like we saw in the days of FDR and Eisenhower, and the immediate closure of corporate tax loopholes that bleed out billions to overseas, tax-free bank accounts where the elite have stashed anywhere between $21 trillion and $32 trillion. As president, she would appoint Supreme Court justices who believe corporations are corporations, not people, and fight to get corporate money and influence out of the political process."

Why not go Green with Jill Stein for president !

Dr Stein is expected to be on the ballot this fall in about 45 states, including Washington ~ and please note that corporate political spending now accounts for 78 percent of the $465 million spent thus far during the 2012 election ~ and Jill Stein accepts no corporate funding.

Think about it ~ both Obama and Romney are obviously shills for the Corporate, financial elite and status quo ~ their platforms are almost identical and they both answer to the same Wall Street masters. See video ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDJEc92d38

And Stein, unlike Obama and Romney, is not a shill for Israel or AIPAC ~ " In particular, the United States has encouraged the worst tendencies of the Israeli government as it pursues policies of occupation, apartheid, assassination, illegal settlements, blockades, building of nuclear bombs, indefinite detention, collective punishment, and defiance of international law. Instead of allying with the courageous proponents of peace within Israel and Palestine, our government has rewarded consistent abusers of human rights….. On taking office, I will put all parties on notice ~ including the Israeli government, the Palestinian Authority, and the Hamas administration in Gaza ~ that future U.S. support will depend on respect for human rights and compliance with international law." See Stein statement ~

The Green Party is no longer the voice of Ralph Nader but instead they are attempting to be the voice of the 99% ~ and making a good go at it. Here's the first Jill Stein for President TV ad appropriately entitled " ENOUGH " http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vaObRxkX8K4

Myself and millions of Americans have most certainly had enough of politics as usual, broken promises and the maintenance of the status quo ~ another choice and voice is most welcome in the 2012 presidential race and most certainly the debates.

Here's her four minute statement on why she's running ~

As Susan Sauley recently wrote in the New York Times ~ "Ms. Stein is quick to align Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney, saying their policies are nearly indistinguishable. She cites the former governor’s policy on health care and the president’s health overhaul as an example." (She supports a single-payer system as do millions of Americans)

“We need to have people in Washington who refuse to be bought by lobbyist money and for whom change is not just a slogan,” Ms. Stein said. “It seems like there’s a rebellion going on, and people are really ready for something different.”

She's right so hop on board ~ Jill Stein for President
