WHY AM I OBSESSED WITH THE CLINTONS - BECAUSE THEY'RE THE WALKING EMBODIMENT OF HOW THE ARROGANCE AND GREED OF THE 1%ERS IS DESTROYING AMERICA

WHY AM I OBSESSED WITH THE CLINTONS - BECAUSE THEY'RE THE WALKING EMBODIMENT OF HOW THE ARROGANCE AND GREED OF THE 1%ERS IS DESTROYING AMERICA

BILL CLINTON CASUALLY COMMITTING  A BLATANT
ACT OF ELECTION FRAUD, AND THUMBING HIS NOSE
AT THE VERY LAWS THAT MLK DIED FOR.
Those who assume they’re above the law also think they’re above the people, and that’s clearly the case with the Clintons. The Clintons are not being picked on as some people claim; they’re simply repeatedly circumventing the law with impunity. Just because a criminal gets away with his or her crime doesn’t mean they’re not criminals.  A criminal is one who commits crimes, even if they haven’t been convicted.
Video Shows Bill Clinton Possible Felony Obstruction of Voting Rights, Clear Illegal Electioneering
.
There's ample evidence of the Clinton's gross disrespect for this nation's laws, and thus, the people of this country. Their Blatant flaunting of the of the Voting Rights Act in Massachusetts and in other parts of this country are a case in point, and the many allegations of election fraud (with lawsuits pending) also highlights their flagrant disregard for this nation's laws. Their attitude seems to be that laws are for the "little people." Bill Clinton's pardons while in office also clearly demonstrates the double standard that they adhere to with respect to the law. So as I've said many times before, contrary to the belief of many people, I'm not against the Clintons because I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter; I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter because I'm so passionately against the Clintons.
Marc Rich - A fugitive who had fled the U.S. during his prosecution, was residing in Switzerland. Rich owed $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts of tax fraud, was pardoned of tax evasion. He was required to pay a $1 million fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case. Critics complained that Denise Eisenberg Rich, his former wife, had made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Mrs. Clinton's senate campaign. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels (640,000 m3) of oil.[23] Longtime Clinton supporters and Democratic leaders such as former President Jimmy Carter, James Carville and Terry McAuliffe, were all critical of the Clinton pardon.
.
Susan McDougal - Who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal. McDougal had served the maximum possible 18 months, including eight in solitary confinement, on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role. 
.
Mel Reynolds - A Democratic Congressman from Illinois, was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography. His sentence was commuted on the bank fraud charge and he was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a halfway house. Reynolds had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.  Jimmy Carter said the pardons were "disgraceful."
.
Harvey Weinig - a former Manhattan lawyer who was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years in prison for facilitating an extortion-kidnapping scheme and helping launder at least $19 million for the Cali cocaine cartel.
.
Roger Clinton - The president's half-brother, was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier.
.
In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction. Although the couple had already been released from prison, the prior conviction prevented them from doing business in certain American states. First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.[14] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.
.
Again, President Jimmy Carter said the pardons were "disgraceful."

HILLARY CLINTON'S SPECIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW

With respect to Hillary’s mishandling of national security documents, Wikipedia points out that “Gross negligence is legally culpable [indictable] carelessness that shows a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care, and likely to cause foreseeable grave injury or harm. The difference between "negligence" and "gross negligence" may be subjective since it is a matter of degree . . . Under common law, criminal negligence is defined as a gross deviation from a reasonable standard of care. This is a higher standard than ordinary negligence under tort law.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_negligence
.
Now, let's take a look at this "reasonable standard of care." If you or I worked for the State Department and put classified information on our private computer at home, we would not only lose our security clearance (which would rule out becoming president), but we would also go to prison. So what they've taken great pains to carefully avoid getting into is WHY Hillary Clinton went to the trouble, and great expense, of hiring a personal IT expert to build a private server, and then put him on salary to maintain it, instead of simply using the secured State Department computer that she was provided and was mandated for her use. So what the Republican congress is going to ask - and in the middle of the general election - is why did her IT expert, Bryan Pagliano, find it necessary to take the 5th amendment over 125 times in a 2 hour deposition? What was he worrying about incriminating himself of?  And if they provide him with immunity, he's going to have to answer that question - or go to jail like Susan McDougal did while trying to protect the Clintons in the Whitewater scandal. 
.
And then there's whether or not Hillary Clinton engaged in obstruction of justice. Hillary testified before congress that she turned over all of her work-related emails. The FBI says that she didn't, and there's no way of knowing how much of her other "work-related" email was deleted.  Out of 62,320 emails she only turned over 30,490. She deleted 31,830. How do we know what was on those emails that she deleted? We don't. If it were you are I and they asked us to turn over our emails and we only gave less than half, we would be charged with obstruction of justice. If she wanted to keep her private email private, she should have used her private computer for her private communications, and the State Department computer for work-related email. But since she didn't see fit to do that, when they asked for her email, she was required to give them ALL of it - in fact, they would have just shown up at our house and confiscated the computer, and server. That was the purpose of her maintaining a private server in the first place, so she could reveal only what she wanted to reveal, and that was a clear obstruction of justice right there.
.
BILL CLINTON'S SEXUAL ABUSE OF WOMEN
So what we’re looking at in the Clinton case is not only a double standard, but a gross violation of the Constitutional prescription of “Equal Protection,” or as the Supreme Court has interpreted it, “Equal Justice Under The Law” - and that’s EXACTLY what the people of this country are fighting so passionately to bring to an end, the double standard in the administration of justice - one standard for the oligarchs and their surrogates, and another for the average American. And what are the chances that a president who has repeatedly benefited from this double standard would bring it to an end? - virtually nil, because the system works to their advantage.
.
The very system that is protecting Hillary Clinton from prosecution has disseminated down to the average street cop, who is the surrogate of the system. It’s allowing the rogues among them to shoot our children down in the street with either complete impunity, or a slap on the wrist. It’s this very same system and philosophy - that there are those who are above the law, and those who just don’t count - that makes Black lives not matter.  So America needs to wake up - and especially Black people - because when a child is lying in street gasping for his last breath after his body has been riddled with bullets from the gun of some racist cop with a sense of entitlement, it’s too late to start shaking our fists then. NOW is the time to address this issue, instead of trying to protect the massas’ privilege - “Missy, I don’t know what’s wrong wit dem blind and ungrateful coons.  Dey tryin’ to keep us out the White House.  I don’t know why dey don’t see how good you been to us! But I sho do.”  Well, let me tell you why.
.
BILL CLINTON ADMITS HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MASS INCARCERATION OF BLACK PEOPLE
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/16/us/politics/bill-clinton-concedes-his-crime-law-jailed-too-many-for-too-long.html

I’ve had Black people tell me that I seem to be obsessed with Hillary Clinton. You’re damn right I’m obsessed.  David Duke and the Klan hasn’t done a fraction of the harm to the Black community as Bill and Hillary Clinton, and now, to see uninformed Black people - including the Congressional Black Caucus - rally around Hillary Clinton is a disgusting thing to watch, and I’m not even a militant Black man. I can only imagine how the truly militant among us are looking at the current level of Black stupidity. It’s like we’re back in the 19th Century. I was under the mistaken impression that we were moving forward, but this Clinton episode has convinced me that we haven’t learned a damn thing - it was Black people who put Hillary over the top!!! So it’s no wonder why Black people are simply dismissed in this country. If we don’t have sense enough to protect our own interest, why should anyone else even bother to try?
.
Once Bill and Hillary Clinton decided they wanted to get back into the White House, Bill went, hat-in-hand, to apologized to the NAACP for his draconian crime bill - a bill that he conceded put far too many Black people in prison for far too long.  But what he failed to concede was that he paid the states EXTRA to give these prisoners longer sentences. He also failed to point out that those who were being imprisoned were victims of HIS crime of colluding with Ronald Reagan to flood the Black community with crack cocaine in order to fund Reagan’s illegal war in Nicaragua after congress defunded it with the Boland Amendment. And finally, he failed to point out that the very same prison industrial complex that he created when he became president to incarcerate the victims of HIS crime was one of Hillary’s biggest political contributors - at least, until she decided to run for office.  And think about this - he did this AFTER Black people sold blood to get him elected. Black people lovingly referred to him as “Our first Black president.”  Oh, Really!!!?
.
So Black people need to wake up, and begin make being knowledgeable and informed the new definition of what it means to be cool, because just being cool don’t seem to be gettin’ us over.  And another thing - we need to stop rolling over and purring to have our tummies scratched by White folks. That too, is a disgusting thing to watch.

BLACK PEOPLE! ARE YOU LISTENING!!!? NOW’S THE TIME TO FIGHT, NOT WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE LYING IN THE STREET - AND PRIOR TO THE CONVENTION IS OUR LAST CHANCE

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

BLACK PEOPLE!  ARE YOU LISTENING!!!?  NOW’S THE TIME TO FIGHT, NOT WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE LYING IN THE STREET - AND PRIOR TO THE CONVENTION IS OUR LAST CHANCE

Dennis,
.
I’m converting the thrust of your comment to me into an article. I hope you don’t mind, but I truly admire the mature and thoughtful way that you’ve approached this issue.
.
I want to thank you for the compliment, but I reject your assessment of yourself out of hand. We often make the mistake of thinking that intelligence is having the ability to do advanced math, or write the great American novel, but that’s not intelligence at all; those are skills. I offer up Dr. Ben Carson as a perfect example of my point. While it is alleged that he is a brilliant brain surgeon, he has demonstrated without a doubt that once he leaves the operating room, he can’t think his way out of a paper bag.  And I know many attorneys who are the same way. I did legal research and wrote legal briefs as a private contractor for several attorneys for over 20 years, and many of them used to call ME for legal advice. And if you can believe it, Michele Bachmann is a tax attorney, and I know high school students who can think her under the table.
.
You, on the other hand, are fully aware of what’s going on around you politically, and you have the maturity, insight, and common sense not to engage in the knee-jerk reaction of cognitive dissonance, frustration, and anger toward those who have a different take on our current political environment than yourself. Instead, you question, and seek out objective truth.  That’s my definition of intelligence, and it’s a joy to interact with a person of your caliber
.
You asked, “Isn 't the simplest conclusion that the root cause of this [criticism toward Hillary Clinton] political? And that all this stuff about character or trustworthiness merely a cover and effective way to slander?”
.
The answer is, no it isn’t. Please take the time to read the link below (that’s been fully documented) and then get back with me and tell me what you think. I will value your opinion, because I trust the quality of your mind and your objectivity. While I seriously doubt the position you’ve taken due to the facts in the public record, maybe there’s some things that I haven’t considered in this matter.  So I promise, whatever your response, I’ll give it serious consideration. 
.
And I want to assure you that I’m under no illusion that I’m speaking down to you from Mt. Olympus. I’ve long since recognize that I corner the market on neither knowledge, wisdom, nor intellect, so I don’t think my opinion has any more intrinsic value than yours. In discussions such as this, individuals are meaningless. It is truth that is lofty and holds the weight. So I promise to give truth priority over ideology, and I'll never try to bend truth into a more comfortable fit for my delusions of reality - and we all have them.  So in this discussion I intend to follow truth wherever it leads, and regardless to whose ox it gores.
.
And in that regard, I want to admit to being a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I’m not a Bernie Sanders cultist - I have much too much ego for that - I’m my own hero, not Bernie.  So while I do support Bernie, my motives have absolutely nothing to do with him as an individual.  In other words,  I’m not against Hillary because I support Bernie; I support Bernie because I’m against Hillary - passionately against Hillary
.
I'm motivated by the fact that after what the Clintons have done to the Black community, somebody in the community needs to speak out against this woman, and since so many in the Black community are still mesmerized by Bill’s “first Black president” myth, it’s not happening - even the Black Congressional Caucus seems to remain bamboozled - so I decided I would do it myself.
.
So again, please read the link below and give me your thoughts. I’d appreciated it.

INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE CLINTONS ARE CLOSET CONSERVATIVES, CORRUPT, AND COLLUDED WITH RONALD REAGAN TO VICTIMIZE THE BLACK COMMUNITY

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE CLINTONS ARE CLOSET CONSERVATIVES, CORRUPT, AND COLLUDED WITH RONALD REAGAN TO VICTIMIZE
THE BLACK COMMUNITY
.

I’ve been researching the Clintons for over 20 years, every since they conned the Black community into giving them our devotion (“The first Black President”), blood, sweat, and tears, and then cut our throats as soon as they set foot in the White House.
.
Many journalists consider me an expert on Tavis Smiley and Cornel West. They routinely contact me as part of their research whenever they do an article on either one of them. Well, I know twice as much about Bill and Hillary Clinton, because I’ve been researching them for twice as long - In fact, Tavis’ strong support of Hillary over Obama in 2008 is what caused me to start researching him and West, because as a result of my long years of research on the Clintons, it is my position that ANY Black person who supports  Bill and Hillary Clinton is the direct equivalent of a civil rights worker who supported David Duke. It just doesn't’ make sense.
.
The fact is, while David Duke is a despicable human being, he hasn’t done a fraction of the harm to Black people as the Clintons. So it is my position that Black people who support the Clintons either have a self-serving agenda, or they are low-information voters - and with respect to Tavis Smiley and Cornel West, it didn’t take me but a short time to find that the former was true. Yeah, I know. West supported Bernie Sanders this time, but let us not forget that West makes much of his living speaking on college campuses, and young college students make up much of Bernie's base. So there's a method to Cornel's madness.  But this is not about Cornel West. Let's discuss the Clintons.
.
The Clintons were involved in a scheme that completely destroyed hundreds of thousands of Black lives, and is still having a negative impact on Black people.  There's currently a huge part of an entire generation of young Black people who don't know anything about their culture, and don't really know what it means to be Black, because the people who were responsible for teaching them were either dead, in prison, or mentally disabled by the affects of crack cocaine. As a direct result, instead of developing their potential and preparing for the future, many of these young people, who were literally raised by the corporate media, has been conditioned to believe that their role in life is to be criminals, drug addicts, and at the very bottom of society. In addition, they're being mesmerized by the media by being fed a constant diet of music that celebrates drug use, killing one another, and referring to the very womb of their culture as "bitches and hoes." So their fate is all but sealed. Yet, many Black people are falling all over one another to put two of the people who are hugely responsible for this state of affairs back into the White House. The situation is beyond sad, it's disgusting, and being forced to choose between Clinton and Trump is like having to choose between cyanide or strychnine.
.
But while many Black people are asleep, karma has been wide awake. By the time Reagan died he was not only wearing a diaper, but he couldn't even remember that he used to be president. 
.
BILL CLINTON AND THE MENA CONNECTION

When Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas, he colluded with the Reagan administration to flood the Black community with crack cocaine in order to fund Reagan’s illegal war in Nicaragua. Then when he became president he signed the most draconian crime bill in the history of the United States and created the prison industrial complex that led to the mass incarceration of the victims of his crime - Black people. There after, that very same prison industrial complex became one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest political contributors. Then, when he wanted to get himself and Hillary back into the White House, Bill went to the NAACP and tried to apologize for it.  So during the primaries I was shocked at how few Black people knew about this stuff, and how they flocked to Hillary Clinton's side. I began writing about it, but many Black people just seemed mesmerized by the Clintons.  I just wish I had started writing about it a year before the primaries began.
.
Because the fact is, Bill and Hillary Clinton are conservatives in drag. They walk like liberals, and talk like liberals, but they always leave conservative policies behind. In fact, they've been more successful in passing fiscally conservative legislation than the GOP -  the passing of NAFTA, allowing corporations to send $20 an hour jobs out of the country to be performed for $5 an hour in other countries; the gutting of Glass-Steagall, allowing commercial banks to gamble with our deposits, and led directly to the 2008 Wall St. crisis; the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine, leading to the dumbing down of America, and making propagandist networks like FOX News possible, etc., etc.
.
Thus, Bill and Hillary Clinton are "Republicrats" whose primary mission in life is to drag the Democratic party to the right. Hillary is the same closet Republican that she’s always been (President of the “Young Republicans" in college), and Bill is a White Southern Dixiecrat. When Hillary was running against Barack Obama in 2008, in an attempt to get Ted Kennedy's support, Bill Clinton said, "A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags."  True liberals don't talk like that. In fact, the reaction of one of my White neighbors to the comment is how I found out about it.  She called me screaming over the phone - "Did you hear what that racist bastard said about Barack Obama!!!?" So the Clintons are far from liberal; they're just just calculating. They saw which way the wind was blowing during the sixties, and made the cynical decision to take advantage of it.
.

.
Snopes: "On April 23, 2016, Charles Koch was briefly on air on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopolous. During that interview, ABC Correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Koch, “So is it possible that another Clinton could be better than another Republican this time around?"
Koch responded, 'It’s possible. It’s possible.' When pushed by Karl about whether he could see himself supporting Hillary Clinton, Koch hesitated, 'Well... we would have to believe her actions will be quite different from her rhetoric, let’s put it that way' - and it always is.

Hillary specializes in "dog-whistling" - saying things to the public in a way that has an entirely different meaning to the 'dogs' who are listening than it does to the general population (the assassination remark is a perfect example of that).   In addition, James Comey, the head of the FBI, who didn’t indict Hillary in spite of clear evidence that she committed several crimes that others have gone to jail for, is a Republican. And if we weren't existing in a plutocratic environment,  based purely on the FBI director's comment that she was "extremely careless" with classified information, at the very least, Hillary Clinton should be stripped of her security clearance, making it impossible for her to run for president.
.
So we’re being played - again.  It's no longer Democrats against Republicans, it's a sibling rivalry between oligarchs. It's no longer about liberals protecting America from the greed and excesses of conservatives, it's about which faction of conservatives are going to control America. So the people have simply got to insist that this woman step aside. Sixteen years later America is still suffering from the adverse affects of the last time we allowed the Clintons in the White House. Let us not cut our throats again.  And Black people, please wake up.
.
"New Democrats, also called Centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or Moderate Democrats, is an ideologically "centrist" faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democrats
.
So please watch this video - and before you fluff it off as just another hit piece on the Clintons, notice that the investigators in the video were Clinton supporters, so they tried their best not to make Bill look bad, but these are prosecutors, and the facts are the facts. In addition, this is not just some video thrown together by Clinton haters; this is a 2 1/2 hr. documentary base on news footage of the time. In fact, it's not really even about the Clintons. It’s about the Iran/Contra scandal, the Clintons are just involved. So there’s no wiggle room here concerning the Clintons. The video is completely legitimate. In fact, one of the reporters in the video won a Pulitzer Prize.

.


CIA AND DRUG TRAFFICKING
.
"In the 623rd paragraph, the report described a cable from the CIA's Directorate of Operations dated October 22, 1982, describing a prospective meeting between Contra leaders in Costa Rica for "an exchange in [the United States] of narcotics for arms, which then are shipped to Nicaragua."[16][non-primary source needed] The two main Contra groups, US arms dealers, and a lieutenant of a drug ring which imported drugs from Latin America to the US west coast were set to attend the Costa Rica meeting. The lieutenant trafficker was also a Contra, and the CIA knew that there was an arms-for-drugs shuttle and did nothing to stop it.
.
"The report stated that the CIA had requested the Justice Department return $36,800 to a member of the Meneses drug ring, which had been seized by DEA agents in the Frogman raid in San Francisco. The CIA's Inspector General said the Agency wanted the money returned "to protect an operational equity, i.e., a Contra support group in which it [CIA] had an operational interest."

Testimony of the CIA Inspector General
.
"Six weeks after the declassified and heavily censored report was made public, Inspector General Hitz testified before a House congressional committee.[15] Hitz stated that:

"Volume II ... will be devoted to a detailed treatment of what was known to CIA regarding dozens of people and a number of companies connected in some fashion to the Contra program or the Contra movement that were the subject of any sort of drug trafficking allegations. Each is closely examined in terms of their relationship with CIA, the drug trafficking activity that was alleged, the actions CIA took in response to the allegations, and the extent of information concerning the allegations that was Shared with U.S. law enforcement and Congress.
.
"As I said earlier, we have found no evidence in the course of this lengthy investigation of any conspiracy by CIA or its employees to bring drugs into the United States. However, during the Contra era, CIA worked with a variety of people to support the Contra program. These included CIA assets, pilots who ferried supplies to the Contras, as well as Contra officials and others. Let me be frank about what we are finding. There are instances where CIA did not, in an expeditious or consistent fashion, cut off relationships with individuals supporting the Contra program who were alleged to have engaged in drug trafficking activity or take action to resolve the allegations.
.
"Hitz also said that under an agreement in 1982 between Ronald Reagan's Attorney General William French Smith and the CIA, agency officers were not required to report allegations of drug trafficking involving non-employees, defined as paid and non-paid "assets"—pilots who ferried supplies to the contras, as well as contra officials and others.[17][18]
.
"This agreement, which had not previously been revealed, came at a time when there were allegations that the CIA was using drug dealers in its controversial covert operation to bring down the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua.[18] Only after Congressional funds were restored in 1986 was the agreement modified to require the CIA to stop paying agents who it believed were involved in the drug trade"
