Imperious Queen Hillary at the Podium
When things get to politically hectic or unpredictable, I
usually turn to humor or satire to help lead me to another perspective and in
the case of this year's 2016 Presidential election ~ the Onion brilliantly
assists along with a weekend major WikiLeaks release which nails Hillary on her
principle character flaw, trustworthiness: Allen L Roland. PhD
With just a few days to go before Hillary Clinton is expected to accept her party's nomination for president, WikiLeaks on Friday released almost 20,000 emails sent and received by Democratic National Committee staff members from January 2015 to May 2016 ~ leaving journalists scouring for information potentially damaging to the party and which already implicates her loyal subject Debbie Wasserman, DNC Chairperson ~ who most certainly rigged the Primary for Queen Hillary.
In response to the leaks, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said
Saturday that the emails show "what many of us have known for some
time, that there were certainly people at the DNC who were actively helping the
Clinton effort and trying to hurt Bernie Sanders' campaign."
With that said and the dust still settling ~ the
presumptive nominees from both parties must now assess how to approach the
general election. Here is how Hillary Clinton is strategizing her campaign
moving forward (Many are courtesy of the Onion)
- Woo Bernie supporters by becoming 30 percent more curmudgeonly
- Hold focus groups to help her appeal to a more diverse array of America’s corporate entities
- Establish strategic headquarters in thousands of swing living rooms
- Delete folder on laptop titled “Liabilities 1998-2006”
- Preempt Trump’s wild conspiracy theories by clarifying exactly which former aides committed suicide and which did not
- Targeted TV ads that remind viewers she can win this thing without their vote if she has to
- Delay border wall proposal until inauguration
- Surprise loyal supporters by dropping into a few quarterly earnings meetings unannounced
- Go window-to-window in key districts to glare at undecided voters
- Mothball your husband and former discredited President Bill Clinton indefinitely.
- Kill the pantsuits and show some leg
- Be less imperious ~ laughing and stating "We came, We saw and He died" when former ally and head of State Ghaddafi was brutally assassinated is not compassionate nor presidential and most unsettling to your dictator friends and Clinton foundation donors ~ see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtH7iv4ip1U
Truth dig editor in chief Bob Scheer tells Paul Jay (Real News) that
while Trump is a real fascist threat, people should consider voting for a
third party rather than support Clinton ~ which I completely agree with.
Scheer specifically mentions the
Green Party's presumptive Presidential candidate Jill Stein and rightfully implies that her progressive
voice must be heard during the Presidential Debates.

Clinton and Tim Kaine / Two war
hawks in flight
In selecting Kaine as VP, Hillary Clinton is clearly stating that she will be running a pro-war campaign targeted at winning over the military and sections of the Republican Party dissatisfied with Trump. She also effectively repudiates any association with the issues of social inequality that motivated the widespread support for her main rival in the primaries, Bernie Sanders ~ and in effect has said "It's my turn, Bernie ~ so deal with it".
See Tom Hall (ICH) comments on
Kaine VP selection ~ http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article45167.htm
Here's our scorecard in Iraq ~ and you wonder what fuels terrorist blowback ?
1.2 million Iraqis killed in 2003
3 million dead because of 13 years of sanctions
5 million forcibly displaced since 2003
Neofascist Trump or Corporate Neocon Clinton Are No
Choice at All
Both the DNC War makers RNC War party are part of the Political War Racket or as David Swanson wrote ~ "Laugh about it, wrote Paul Simon. Shout about it. When you've got to choose. Every way you look at it you lose. Unless you support Jill Stein and/or build a more principled peace movement." Read ICH article ~
Of course, once again, I will not be choosing the lesser
of two evils and will instead be voting for the good Dr. Jill Stein ~ the Green Party's presumptive nominee for President
and I look forward to her presence in the Presidential debates as well as her
nomination at the 2016 Green Party's Presidential Convention in early August,
2016.
An uneasy reminder for those who can remember ~
I remind you all once again of the rise of that strange
Austrian fellow in the 1930's, named Adolf Hitler, who rode a groundswell of
apathy and fascist nationalism to victory and shocked a German nation as well as the world in the process.
Here he is in full color with English
subtitles and, like the Donald, he sold himself to the party as the answer to all of German's problems and
demanded the party to believe in him as Hess exults in the final moment at the party's
convention ~ "The party is Hitler as
Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler " See

I will summarize the last anti-war Presidential candidate Jill Stein's strengths
and weaknesses after the Democratic Convention
