WHY I’M VOTING FOR JILL STEIN AND CONSIDER THE TRUMP THREAT A MYTH (FULL ARTICLE)

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

WHY I’M VOTING FOR JILL STEIN AND CONSIDER THE TRUMP THREAT A MYTH
.
BILL CLINTON SIGNING HIS URBAN HOUSING PROGRAM -
THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, WHICH BECAME ONE
OF HILLARY'S  BIGGEST POLITICAL CONTRIBUTORS
I'm going to be voting third party for the first time in my life, but I consider it the most important vote that I've ever cast. Even though I know that Jill Stein is not going to win, I consider my vote for her a vote for democracy, and against corruption. It's going to send a clear and unequivocal message to the Democratic Party to never, EVER try to play with my right to choose again. And if Donald Trump wins, oh, well.  Maybe that'll have the unintended consequence of waking people up - and besides, Hillary is no better, and could very likely be much worse.  We can only speculate about what Trump might do, but we've already experienced the kind of destruction the Clintons are capable of bringing upon us.  We're still suffering from their last stint in the White House.
.
If Trump wins, he won't be able to bust a grape. If you think Barack Obama hit a brick wall when he became president, just imagine what Trump will face. He’s a buffoon and one of the most hated politicians in the history of American politics, so he has absolutely NO support worth mentioning. Where Obama only faced a hostile Republican congress, Trump would be facing both a hostile Republican and Democratic congress, and a hostile American public as well. So all he’d be able to do is sit up in the Oval Office and play with himself. As a result, the worse thing that he would bring to the country is continued gridlock, and make us the laughingstock of the world, which we deserve.
.
Yes, most Republicans secretly believe in everything Trump is spewing.  The only thing they don't like about him is he's a loose cannon and he's saying what they believe out loud. That's why I think he could very possibly win this election. Although many claim to be against him, once they get into the secrecy of the polling booth they may very well vote for him, but the Republican Party can't afford to support him if he gets into office, because then they would take on his baggage, incur the hostility of the American people, render themselves a renegade party, and be voted out in droves in the next election.
.
On the other hand, Hillary has a political machine in place within the Democratic Party and the support of essentially ALL of Wall Street, so she'd be in a position to do serious damage.  It has been reported that the Clintons' net worth is well over $200 million. They also control the $2 billion Clinton Foundation, so they're comfortably entrenched in the very corporate culture that has the American people virtually enslaved. Their daughter, Chelsea, is married to Marc Mezvinsky, an American investment banker, co-founder of hedge fund, Eaglevale Partners, and was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. Thus, the Clintons and Wall Street are, literally, in-laws. So Hillary would continue the process that they began the last time they were in the White House - robbing the American people blind, and turning our democracy into a corporate plutocracy. So Hillary, her reckless greed, and corporate allies are the greater threat to America.
.
IN SIX YEARS ON WAL-MART'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HILLARY CLINTON NEVER LIFTED A FINGER TO HELP
EITHER WOMEN OR THE WORKERS
The Clintons walk like liberals and talk like liberals but they always seem to leave conservative policies in their wake. They've been more successful in promoting the conservative agenda and destroying the American middle class way of life than any other administration since the Civil War, including Ronald Reagan's.  They're responsible for NAFTA, which allowed $20 an hour jobs to be sent out of the country to be performed by people who make less per week than many upper-middle class Americans spent on lunch per day, and they gutted Glass-Steagall (which President Roosevelt put into place to prevent Wall Street greed from plunging the nation into a second Great Depression),  which led directly to the 2008 Wall Street crash. Clinton also abolished the Fairness Doctrine (no, it wasn't Reagan as many people think. Reagan simply prevented it from being elevated from a regulation to a law, but Clinton abolished it outright). That led to the creation of the corporate media culture and propaganda machines like Fox News that were then allowed to spew conservative propaganda and disinformation with impunity.
.
Clinton's "Welfare Reform" led to the undue suffering of millions of poor Americans. And then, after colluding with Ronald Reagan to flood the Black community with crack cocaine while governor of Arkansas, after becoming president, even as Black people were running around calling him our “first Black president,” Clinton signed the most draconian crime bill in United States history to incarcerate on a massive scale the very victims of the crime that HE committed, just to prove to Republicans that he wasn’t “soft on coons”  - and he actually paid states EXTRA to give those victims longer sentences. As result, today there are more Black people under the control of the prison industrial complex than were enslaved in all of America in 1850, a decade prior to the Civil War, and that very same prison industrial complex became one of Hillary Clinton's largest and most prolific political contributors.
BILL CLINTON CASUALLY VIOLATING THE
VOTERS RIGHTS ACT AND THUMBING HIS
NOSE AT THE LEGACY
OF MARTIN LUTHER KING IN A BLACK POLLING
PLACE IN MASSACHUSETTS
.
Thus, as a direct result of Clinton’s unconscionable actions the lives of hundreds of thousands of Black people have been completely destroyed - and it’s still having a negative impact on Black people today. 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. And worse, they're unfit parents for the generation that's coming up.
.
So when anyone even suggests that I should vote for Hillary Clinton, I'm absolutely insulted, because it clearly demonstrates that they are, at the very least, completely indifferent to the atrocities that the Clintons committed against the Black community - and unbelievably, this includes many Black people!!!  These people will say, "Okay, okay, so they destroyed a generation of Black people and herded others into concentration camps, but what else have they done wrong?" Give me a break!!!
.

.
Racism is not just the aggressive hatred of Black people, it's also the complacent acceptance of atrocities committed against them. If the Clintons had committed a fraction of the atrocities against Jews as they have Black people, Hillary wouldn't have even been able to run for office. But American's casual indifference toward the suffering of Black people is about to come back to bite 'em, because the new paradigm in this country is not just about racism.  We're currently knee-deep in a class war against people who don't care any more about poor and middle class White people than they do Blacks or other minorities - and Hillary's one of them.    The New York Times reported the following:
.
“In lucrative paid speeches that Hillary Clinton delivered to elite financial firms but refused to disclose to the public, she displayed an easy comfort with titans of business, embraced unfettered international trade and praised a budget-balancing plan that would have required cuts to Social Security, according to documents posted online Friday by WikiLeaks . . .
.
“In the excerpts from her paid speeches to financial institutions and corporate audiences, Mrs. Clinton said she dreamed of ‘open trade and open borders’ throughout the Western Hemisphere [NAFTA on steroids]. Citing the back-room deal-making and arm-twisting used by Abraham Lincoln, she mused on the necessity of having ‘both a public and a private position’ on politically contentious issues [in other words, sometimes it's necessary to lie to the people]. Reflecting in 2014 on the rage against political and economic elites that swept the country after the 2008 financial crash, Mrs. Clinton acknowledged that her family’s rising wealth had made her ‘kind of far removed’ from the struggles of the middle class [or in other words, I’m one of you].”
.
New Democrats, also called Centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or Moderate Democrats, are a relatively conservative ideological faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. Describing themselves as "centrist", they are an economically conservative and "Third Way" faction which dominated the party for around 20 years, starting in the late 1980s after the US populace turned much further to the political right. They are represented by organizations such as the New Democrat Network and the New Democrat Coalition.

RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR

How Clinton Donor Got on Sensitive Intelligence Board

.

.
HOW DID THEY KNOW THIS GUY WASN'T A RUSSIAN SPY?
.
So, what do I like most about Jill Stein?  That's easy - she's not Hillary Clinton. And finally, I’d like to respectfully suggest to the American people that they're being played by the Clintons . . . again.
.
. . . Oh, and for those of you who are prone to give your genitals priority over your intellect, in the video below, notice the condescension and distain in which Hillary Clinton treats NPR correspondent Terry Gross as opposed to the respect she gives Terry's male colleagues like Anderson Cooper and others, in spite of the fact that they were asking much more biting questions. Hillary is not a woman, she's a political robot who's only dedicated, or loyal, to one thing - Hillary Clinton.

IF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON ARE NOT PROSECUTED FOR CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AMERICA IS LOST

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

IF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON ARE NOT PROSECUTED FOR CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AMERICA IS LOST
.
.
 The photo below clearly shows Bill Clinton blatantly, and arrogantly, violating the Voting Rights Act and illegally electioneering at a polling place in Massachusetts with complete impunity. There's currently a petition out with well over 100,000 signatures to investigate the Clintons in Arizona as well. Where the hell is the DNC?
.
The entire nation should be raising holy hell over Bill and Hillary Clinton’s blatant violation and disrespect of the voting Rights Act. It was not only an unconscionable act of arrogance, but it was also a direct slap in the face to all those who died to get that law enacted. Thus, both Bill and Hillary should be prosecuted, and Hillary should not be allowed to benefit from such tactics and be forced to forfeit all delegates that she won employing these underhanded devices.
.
The Clintons’ action in this matter is proof positive that they are dishonorable, they will do anything to be elected,  and they have absolutely no respect for Democratic traditions. They’re trying to turn the Democratic Party into Republican lite. That’s been their agenda for their entire career, and they’ve come very close to achieving their goal. They walk like liberals, they talk like liberals, but they always seem to leave conservative policies behind. Yet Black people are voting for Hillary in droves, even though they can't name ONE thing that the Clintons have ever done for them - other than spend more money on prisons to house Black people than on housing in the Black community. Go ahead - research it.
.
And with regard to law and order, Massachusetts law is clear and unequivocal:
.
"Within 150 feet of a polling place…no person shall solicit votes for or against, or otherwise promote or oppose, any person or political party or position on a ballot question, to be voted on at the current election. No campaign material intended to influence the vote of a voter in the ongoing election, including campaign literature, buttons, signs, and ballot stickers, may be posted, exhibited, circulated, or distributed in the polling place, in the building where it is located, on the building walls, on the premises where the building stands, or within 150 feet of an entrance door to the building. ( 950 CMR 53.03(18); 54.04.22),)"  
.
But in spite of that law - THE PEOPLE'S LAW - Bill Clinton feels so entitled and thinks the people are so stupid, that we can't recognize that he constitutes a walking billboard for Hillary Clinton. He also retards the vote by creating a distraction, his presidential entourage prevents people from getting into the polls, and it extends the time that voters have to wait in line - time that many voters don't have.  Didn't Bill Clinton know this,?  If he didn't, he has very poor judgment, If he did, what was his motive?  He wasn't voting, so why did he have to enter the polling site in the first place?  The answer is clear - to cheat, to circumvent the law, and to do whatever he had to do to get what he wanted. Haven't we had enough to these dishonest slicksters in office?  Aren't these exactly the kind of people we're trying to get OUT of office? Can you even imagine Barack Obama doing something like that?  Could you imagine Bernie Sanders doing something like that?  Absolutely not! And that's exactly why this nation can't be trusted in the hands of people like the Clintons. They lack character, they feel entitled, and they think that their interests - and the interests of their rich Wall St. cronies -  should be given priority over the interest of the average American.
.
The DailyKos reported, ". . . the most serious charge leveled at Clinton’s March 1st Super-Tuesday antics is that he was blocking poor people from voting, in one of Massachusetts most distressed communities, where the median family income is $49,000, [which is] $110,000 less than the Massachusetts town where presidential candidate Hillary Clinton went to college, Wellesley.  Although electioneering within a polling place is a misdemeanor, interfering with voting rights is a state and federal civil rights violation and felony."
.

.
Both Bill, and Hillary, should be prosecuted for conspiracy to violate the Voting Rights Act, and Hillary should be forced to forfeit all delegates that she received from that state - or ANY other state - where they’ve violated the law. We’ve had enough of Hillary and ‘Slick Willie’s’ corruption and sense of entitlement, and we've had enough of the Democratic Party turning a blind eye to it. The arrogant behavior of these two individuals, and the Democratic National Committee's corrupt and crony-like response to it is not what the Democratic Party is about. The Democratic Party has fought over the years to promote the interest of equality, not the special interest of  so-called "big-shots," and obviously, that's exactly what Bill and Hillary Clinton think they are. Their underhanded methods have the funk of the Republican Party all over them, and they have no place among Democrats. But there's a reason the Clintons are so Republican-like - Because that's what they are, Republicans in drag, who are trying to move the Democratic Party to the right.
.
“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.”  And we’re sick of them, because they are just as corrupt and crony-like as Republicans - in fact, they should be called Semicrats, or Republicrats.
.
But, no, legitimate Democrats should not leave the party; that'll just divide the vote of like-minded people.  A better strategy would be to take a page from the Tea Party and get rid of all of the self-serving and corrupt people within the party who are not responsive to the people's point of view - and that’s including many of the Congressional Black Cronies who recently endorsed Hillary Clinton in spite of all of the suffering and damage the Clintons have done to the Black community.  It's past time for a good housecleaning, because many of these people have obviously been in office so long they’ve forgotten what being a true Democrat is all about - they’ve become Republicrats, or Semicrats.  We don’t need Republicrats fighting for corporate growth - thanks to Bill Clinton corporations are already rich; we need dedicated people in office who are going to fight for the people.
.
When Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law he told America that the expanded markets that it would provide would create millions of jobs for the American people; but instead, it created millions of opportunities for his billionaire cronies to take $18 an hour jobs away from Americans and send them out of the country to be performed for 68 cents an hour.
.
And while Hillary Clinton is now trying to portray herself as a gladiator for the people, that has not been her history. Think about it. All Bill and Hillary have is name recognition. Go back into your data banks and come up with ONE thing that either Bill, or Hillary, has ever done for the average American. Again, they walk like liberals, talk like liberals, but they always manage to leave conservative policies behind.
.
ProgressivePress.net reported, "During six years (1986 -1992) as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world's largest retailer waged a major campaign against the labor unions seeking to represent store workers."  And the New Times reported that, "Mrs. Clinton’s six-year tenure as a director of Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest company, remains a little known chapter in her closely scrutinized career. And it is little known for a reason. Mrs. Clinton rarely, if ever, discusses it, leaving her board membership out of her speeches and off her campaign Web site."
.
The New York Times went on to say, "Mrs. Clinton largely sat on the sidelines when it came to Wal-Mart and unions, board members said. Since its founding in 1962, Wal-Mart has fought unionization efforts at its stores and warehouses, employing hard-nosed tactics — like allegedly firing union supporters and spying on employees — that have become the subject of legal complaints against the company. A special team at Wal-Mart handled those activities, but Mr. Walton was vocal in his opposition to unions. Indeed, he appointed the lawyer who oversaw the company’s union monitoring, Mr. Tate, to the board, where he served with Mrs. Clinton. During their meetings and private conversations, Mrs. Clinton never voiced objections to Wal-Mart’s stance on unions, said Mr. Tate and John A. Cooper, another board member.'She was not an outspoken person on labor, because I think she was smart enough to know that if she favored labor, she was the only one,' Mr. Tate said. 'It would only lessen her own position on the board if she took that position..”
.
Thus, when dealing with either Bill, or Hillary Clinton, dog whistling is a concept that the voting public would do well to become very familiar with, because it's the most formidable weapon in the Clinton political arsenal, and they both use it prolifically - they have to in order to play both ends against the middle. It allows them to say one thing to us, while sending an altogether different message to their corporate cronies at one and the same time.
.
It has been reported that the Clinton's net worth is well over $100 million. They control the $2 billion Clinton Foundation, so they're comfortably entrenched in the very corporate culture that has the American people virtually enslaved. Even their daughter, Chelsea, is married to Marc Mezvinsky, an American investment banker, co-founder of hedge fund Eaglevale Partners, and was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. So the Clintons and Wall Street are, literally, in-laws.
.
But now, Bill and Hillary have stepped over the line by blatantly flaunting the law, and with respect to the Voting Rights Act, a law that many Black people have died for. So if Liberals are going to reclaim their party, now's the time - we've got photographs, video evidence, and numerous witnesses of both the Clintons arrogantly flaunting the law. we've got to make both Bill, Hillary, and the DNC establishment answer for that - and we shouldn't let up until we get action.  If we don't, the Clintons are going to continue on their mission of redefining what it means to be a liberal - Rockefeller Republicrats - and worse in Hillary's case.
.
As a mere child, Hillary Clinton was a staunch Republican.  She was so dedicated to the Republican cause that at 17 years old she went to work for Barry Goldwater, who pledged that if elected he would repeal Civil Rights Act. Then in college, she not only joined the "Young Republicans," but became their president. You don't outgrow that kind of dedication to a cause.  While many of Hillary's supporters insists that some people change, Hillary's record doesn't suggest that she's one of those people. Instead, it suggests that after Goldwater's brutal defeat, as an ambitious young lady of the sixties she saw which way the wind was blowing, and it wasn't blowing toward the GOP., but her conservative inclinations haven't changed a bit.
.
While Margret Sanger's character has absolutely no bearing on either a woman's right to choose, are the Planned Parenthood organization, her name is often being bandied about for political reasons. Conservatives are trying to use her name to smear the concept of a woman's right to choose, due to the fact that Sanger was a well known proponent of negative eugenics (the termination of people deemed "unfit" to enhance humanity) and also since she helped to found Planned Parenthood.
.
I'm in full concurrence with a woman's right to choose. I believe a woman should have full control over whether or not she should give birth to another human being.  After all, if men had to bear children we'd have an "ABORTION LINE" at Wal-Mart, and we all no it. So the abortion issue is clearly a sexist ploy to control women, and it's also designed to divide the electorate. Nevertheless, considering the Clinton administration's history with respect to racial issues in the past, I find Hillary's full-throated and enthusiastic embrace of Margaret Sanger's "vision" quite troubling.  Actually, as a Black man, I find most things about the Clintons troubling.
.
THE CLINTON URBAN HOUSING PROGRAM: 
"HEY, WHY NOT JUST BUILD PRISONS INSTEAD?"
.
"The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, H.R. 3355, Pub.L. 103–322 is an Act of Congress dealing with crime and law enforcement; it became law in 1994. It is the largest crime bill in the history of the United States and consisted of 356 pages that provided for 100,000 new police officers, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons and $6.1 billion in funding for prevention programs, which were designed with significant input from experienced police officers . . .
.
"One of the more controversial provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act overturned a section of the Higher Education Act of 1965 permitting prison inmates to receive a Pell Grant for higher education while they were incarcerated. The amendment is as follows:

"The VCCLEA effectively eliminated the ability of lower-income prison inmates to receive college educations during their term of imprisonment, thus ensuring the education level of most inmates remains unimproved over the period of their incarceration."

.
BLACK PEOPLE, WE ARE RENOWN FOR CUTTING OUR OWN THROATS BY FAILING TO EDUCATE OURSELVES, AND VOTING ON INSTINCT AND NAME RECOGNITION ALONE.  WE DID THAT WITH THE CLINTONS ONCE BEFORE, AND WE PAID FOR IT SEVERELY.   LET'S NOT MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE AGAIN, BECAUSE WE MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE. THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE TURNING AGAINST THE 1 %ERS IN A DRASTIC WAY, SO IF THEY GAIN CONTROL OVER GOVERNMENT AGAIN, THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE IT BACK.  SO WAKE UP, BLACK PEOPLE.
