Joe Biden’s Watergate: Did Joe Biden tell Susan Rice to Lie to America about Benghazi?

Did Joe Biden use his office to leak damaging lies about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails to derail her Presidential campaign?  Did Joe Biden tell Susan Rice to go on television and lie to the American people about Benghazi?  Did Joe Biden use the office of the Vice President to overthrow the government in Ukraine?  Did Joe Biden use his ties with Rupert Murdoch to disseminate misinformation about Hillary Clinton to advance his own interests to become President?

Joe Biden has used his dead family members to advance his career for decades and now he is using his dead son Beau to launch his presidential bid.  From Time:

Excerpt:

Beau Biden’s Dying Wish Was for His Dad to Run for President, Report Says

Vice President Joe Biden’s late son Beau told his father to run for president before he died, according to a report.

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, in her weekend column entitled “Joe Biden in 2016: What Would Beau Do?,” describes, in great detail, a conversation that Beau had with his father before dying, urging his father to run for president rather than letting the office fall to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Joseph “Beau” Biden III died of brain cancer at the end of May. Dowd’s source for the anecdote is not clear from the column…

A Presidential bid he’s launching due to Hillary’s faltering campaign after numerous leaks from his office questioning her “credibility, trustworthiness and lack of truthfulness.”  Did Joe Biden have a hand in retroactively classifying information in Hillary’s e-mails?  Is Joe Biden behind these Hillary Clinton polls that no other candidate seems to have conducted about them?  From The Atlantic:

Excerpt:

As Joe Biden edges closer to a presidential run, there’s no shortage of theories as to what he’s up to. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has built a commanding lead in the national polls, giving Biden little apparent space to gain traction. Perhaps he’s counting on the early-primary state of South Carolina to provide a critical boost. 

He might be banking on appearing as a stronger general-election candidate than any of his potential rivals in the primary race. Maybe after spending the past 42 years of his life running for elective office, he just can’t stop.

But there’s one intriguing theory that has so far garnered little attention: What if Biden knows something about Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton that the rest of us don’t?...

Clinton, meanwhile, is battling a steady drip of negative headlines and revelations stemming from her use of a private email address and server during her term as secretary of state. Investigators have found that some emails contained information that was later classified, and media reports have suggested that some of this information may have been considered classified at the time it was shared, even if it hadn’t yet been labeled that way.

The emails that Clinton gave to the State Department are now being released in tranches every 30 days….. No one knows what the emails that have not yet been released may contain.

No one, that is, outside of the administration….  And the State Department has assigned a team to sort through the emails, reviewing them for classified information…

Biden forged many relationships during his long tenure in the Senate, and State is chock full of longtime friends and former aides. The current deputy secretary of state, to choose the most prominent example, is Antony Blinken. He was hired as the staff director of the Senate’s foreign relations committee in 2002, and senior adviser to its senior Democratic member: Joe Biden.

He stuck with Biden through the 2008 campaign, first becoming his national security adviser in the White House, then moving over to become Obama’s deputy national security adviser in 2013, and finally taking up his current role at the State Department in 2015.

There’s no reason to think that Blinken, or any of Biden’s other contacts within the White House or the national-security establishment, have shared with the vice president any information to which they’re privy.           

  

Yes, according to The Atlantic “There’s no reason to think that Blinken, or any of Biden’s other contacts within the White House or the national-security establishment, have shared with the vice president any information to which they’re privy.”

              

 Why aren’t the American people polled to see if they are aware that Joe Biden, on camera said “not all Jews are Zionists, not all Zionists are Jews, I am a Zionist.”  Why aren’t the American voters polled and asked if they want a Zionist for president? 

Why aren’t the American people polled and asked whether they voted to overthrow the Government in Ukraine and instigate a civil war? 

From The Power of Prophecy:

Excerpt:

Ukraine, the country now taken over by a coup d état of Israeli and the U.S. and ruled by brutal Jewish oligarchs, is set to receive billions of dollars in arms for its military from the Obama Administration. But the Ukrainians had to prove their loyalty to the Jews and to Zionism to get these armaments.

First, Ukraine’s corrupt new governors agreed to make U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, a board member of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest gas company. Hunter Biden will also be the chief legal officer of Burisma.

“This is totally based on merit,” said Burisma’s chairman, the Jew, Al Apker.

Uh huh.

Another American, Devon Archer, was also promoted to the board. Who is Archer? Well Devon Archer and Hunter Biden are business cronies. Together with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz, they own a mysterious private equity firm called “Rosemart Seneca Partners.”

Two months before February’s coup d état, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine. He met with the chief Rabbi and other top Jews and made arrangements with Burisma, aligning that gas enterprise with the American oil and gas industries. This means that Rockefeller and Rothschild and their energy pals are “in,” and Russia and Putin are “out.”

Of course, when Biden and Kerry’s sons go into Ukraine, where they don’t even know the language, and “assume supervision” of Burisma, you know that the fix is in….

American arms are pouring in, and NATO troops are in-country. Israel is training pro-Zionist Ukrainian Jews to do the dirty work of killing and destruction and sending them into the Ukraine.

At the U.S. State Department, Vicki Nuland, the powerful Jew who heads the Ukrainian desk, is dictating to the Ukraine which of the Jewish oligarchs are favored by the Jewish American and Israeli big-wigs. And, sleazy men like Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, and their U.S. sidekick, Chris Heinz, are raking in the big bucks as directors for a crooked Ukrainian energy firm. War really is a racket.

Raking in big bucks indeed, war is very lucrative, just ask Vicki Nuland, wife of neocon Robert Kagan and the whole PNAC (Project for a New American Century) crowd.  From ConsortiumNews:

Excerpt:

A Family Business of Perpetual War

Exclusive: Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan have a great mom-and-pop business going. From the State Department, she generates wars and – from op-ed pages – he demands Congress buy more weapons. There’s a pay-off, too, as grateful military contractors kick in money to think tanks where other Kagans work, writes Robert Parry.

Neoconservative pundit Robert Kagan and his wife, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, run a remarkable family business: she has sparked a hot war in Ukraine and helped launch Cold War II with Russia – and he steps in to demand that Congress jack up military spending so America can meet these new security threats.

This extraordinary husband-and-wife duo makes quite a one-two punch for the Military-Industrial Complex, an inside-outside team that creates the need for more military spending, applies political pressure to ensure higher appropriations, and watches as thankful weapons manufacturers lavish grants on like-minded hawkish Washington think tanks.

Patty cake, patty cake banker’s man, Joe Biden is the choice to protect the Wall Street Banks.  Joe Biden is sold as the everyman, just a regular Joe.  That is, if everyman, regular Joe is a serial killer.  When serial killers are caught neighbors say, he just seemed like a nice guy, no one you’d ever think would kill innocent people.  Joe has been a reliable banker’s man and so have his sons.

That’s why Wall Street banks laundered three quarters of a billion dollars into the Obama Biden Campaign in prepaid, untraceable $200 or less credit card donations.  Good old Joe Biden has been a real money maker for Wall Street banks his entire career.  And what did Wall Street get for their money from Joe Biden?  For one thing, a for profit prison system.  From MSN.com:

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — When Joseph R. Biden Jr. became the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1987, a few months ahead of his first and ultimately unsuccessful presidential campaign, he told aides his goal was to enact legislation that would take a comprehensive approach to reducing crime.

As the ranking minority member of the committee since 1981, Mr. Biden had helped pass two bills establishing mandatory minimums for drug offenses. But as chairman, facing high violent crime rates, a crack cocaine epidemic, and accusations by Republicans that his party was soft on crime, Mr. Biden wanted holistic reform.

The effort, which defined much of his time as committee chairman, culminated in the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, a sweeping, bipartisan bill that touched nearly every aspect of American law enforcement that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

Yes, Joe Biden’s role in privatizing prisons for profit in 1987 as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee was a great big caaching for Wall Street Banks.  And how did that work out for the American people, particularly black Americans?  From the Sentencing Project:

Excerpt:

Private sector involvement in prisons is not new — federal and state governments have had a long history of contracting out specific services to private firms, including medical services, food preparation, vocational training, and inmate transportation.

The 1980s, though, ushered in a new era of prison privatization. With a burgeoning prison population resulting from the “war on drugs” and increased use of incarceration, prison overcrowding and rising costs became increasingly problematic for local, state, and federal governments.

In response to this expanding criminal justice system, private business interests saw an opportunity for expansion, and consequently, private-sector involvement in prisons moved from the simple contracting of services to contracting for the complete management and operation of entire prisons.

Today, the privatization of prisons refers both to the takeover of existing public facilities by private operators and to the building and operation of new and additional prisons by for-profit prison companies…

And that is just one of the lucrative deals Wall Street’s bag man Joe Biden delivered.  Then there was old black-hearted Zionist Joe Biden’s one two punch to students and their families.  First punch was the total privatization of Sallie Mae, the government backed student loan program and the second punch the Bankruptcy Protection for Predatory Lenders Bill.

Excerpted from Salon

The federal government’s efforts to help students pay for college have resulted in the accumulation of a trillion dollars of student loan debt and a constant political struggle over the proper role of the public and private sector. Sallie Mae — created by the government but now fully private — is at the heart of the struggle; a deep-pocketed corporation with powerful political connections and its fingers stuck deeply in every part of the student lending pie.

The class action suit claimed that in 2006-2007, as it prepared itself for a lucrative purchase by a consortium of banks and private equity investors, Sallie Mae lowered its lending standards to bolster its portfolio of high-interest-earning “subprime” private student loans. But, when the economy started to crash and default rates spiked, Sallie Mae attempted to hide the damage by changing its loan forbearance policy to punt defaults into the future. In the proposed settlement, the two parties agreed to the creation of a $35 million pool to “resolve investor claims.”

That may be good news for the investors and sounds like a relatively cheap price for Sallie Mae to pay to avoid a trial. But the settlement offers nothing to the targets of Sallie Mae’s reckless attempt to pump up its profits: the students who were lured into taking out the loans to pay for their education. Private sector loans typically come with much higher interest rates than government-backed loans. It’s a toxic mix almost guaranteed to increase economic hardship: low-income students, high-interest loans and stratospheric default rates.

“While the shareholders look like they’re going to make out well, the real victims of Sallie Mae’s apparent scheme — the low-income and working-class students who should have never been steered to take out these high-cost, risky subprime private loans in the first place — will not get even a penny of relief from this settlement agreement,” said Steven Burd, a specialist in higher education at the New America Foundation. “Sallie Mae will essentially get off scot-free, while many of these borrowers will be stuck with this debt hanging over them for the rest of their lives….”

As it completed its journey to full privatization, Sallie Mae rapidly became the dominant force in student lending, with net profit approaching $2 billion a year, and a total portfolio of student debt near $100 billion — which in 2005, represented 45 percent of all federally backed student loans. From 1999-2004, Sallie Mae’s top two executives, Al Lord and Tom Fitzpatrick, received compensation worth $225 million and $245 million, respectively.

So from the time Sallie Mae was fully privatized, the tax payers paid their top two executives $225 million and $245 million respectively.  Good old Joe Biden, looks like Wall Street Banks and Credit Card Companies got a real bargain with Joe Biden.

So Zionist Joe is thinking of throwing his hat in the ring due to Hillary Clinton’s vulnerability caused by constant leaks about her e-mails on her personal server.  Much like the Watergate Scandal where President Richard Nixon used the power of his office to sabotage the Presidential candidacy of George McGovern, looks like ethically challenged, Joe the Wall Street bagman is using the power of his office to sabotage the Presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton.

It’s quite a scandal, the State Department, under John Kerry has assigned a team to sort through Hillary’s emails and slowly releases them in tranches.  Damaging lies are fed to Zionist Rupert Murdoch who floods the airwaves with misinformation about Hillary Clinton.  Then Murdoch conducts polls showing Hillary Clinton is vulnerable due to all the leaks about her e-mails and clears the way for Joe Biden.

They even have enlisted Bob Woodward, the Republican Watergate era reporter who along with Carl Bernstein broke the Watergate story.  From National Memo:

Excerpt:

Clinton Emails: Is This Watergate? Or Just Another Whitewater?

 Hillary Hysteria is raging everywhere, from the most disreputable websites to the most respected newspapers. Candidate Clinton’s polling numbers are down. Her email server is in the custody of the FBI. Her comments brushing aside the controversy have only infuriated the Washington press corps, which has virtually declared war on her.

But why is the political press so agitated? Is this Watergate, a shattering scandal with profound implications for national security and the Constitution? Or is it Whitewater, a meaningless squib of a failed real estate investment, absurdly inflated by the national media and partisan adversaries?

According to many journalists – along with the Republican Party and its favorite propagandists – the email uproar surrounding Clinton equals the worst political scandal in modern American history. On Fox News, eminent analyst Meghan McCain thrilled credulous viewers by telling them the Clinton emails “could be this generation’s Watergate.” On MSNBC, Bob Woodward of The Washington Post, excited his Morning Joe hosts with a similar comparison that echoed across the media.

“Follow the trail here,” intoned Woodward, who broke the Watergate story four decades ago with Carl Bernstein. “You’ve got a massive amount of data. It, in a way, reminds me of the Nixon tapes: thousands of hours of secretly recorded conversations that Nixon thought were exclusively his,” he said, adding: “Hillary Clinton initially took that position: ‘I’m not turning this over, there’s gonna be no cooperation.’ Now they’re cooperating.”

But like so much of the commentary about Clinton’s emails, that last remark by Woodward was entirely inaccurate — as he should know.

When the State Department first requested emails for its archives from all living former secretaries of state, Clinton was the only one to provide any files at all; both Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell said they no longer possessed the emails they had sent on private servers. And when the FBI asked to examine Clinton’s server to determine whether her emails contained any information that was or ought to have been classified, her attorneys turned it over immediately.

Yes, all the hysteria over Hillary’s e-mails that John Kerry’s and Joe Biden’s State Department requested were turned over to them, unlike Colin Powel and Condoleezza Rice’s e-mails that potentially would show real criminal culpability for the lies fed to a terrified nation that led to the $2 trillion dollar war in Iraq.

Woodward swiftly amended his hyperbolic outburst, saying that his Nixon comparison referred to “the volume of emails” measured against the White House tapes, rather than any attack on the character of the Democratic frontrunner.

Perhaps Woodward suddenly remembered what actually occurred during Watergate – a series of gangster conspiracies based in the Nixon White House that included burglaries, warrantless wiretaps, illegal spying, campaign dirty tricks, election tampering, money laundering, and assorted thuggish schemes, growing into a cover-up that compounded those initial felonies with still more crimes committed by lawyers and bureaucrats who collected corporate bribes and then handed out hush money to the perpetrators.

But don’t forget what the e-mails are really about.  Susan Rice went on national TV and lied to the American people about the attacks that took place in Benghazi, Libya on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks in 2012 to protect Barack Obama who was in the middle of his presidential campaign.

The real questions is not, did Hillary send or receive classified e-mails on her private server, but who told Susan Rice, UN Ambassador to go on TV and lie. From Nick Gillespie at Reason .Com:

Thank Sid Blumenthal for Telling Hillary Clinton Benghazi Was a Planned Attack

What did she know and when did she know it? More important: WTF were we doing in Libya to begin with?

The worst thing about the endless investigations into the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya—an attack that killed four Americans, including Amb. Chris Stevens—is that they obscure the larger picture: WTF were we doing in Libya in the first place?

President Obama involved us in a war situation (called a "kinetic action" back then, if memory serves) not just without congressional approval but without any sort of consultation. For the entire 21st century, under both Reps and Dems, American foreign policy has been an #EPICFAIL, but current Republicans keep focusing in on small-ball questions about what did Hillary or Obama or Susan Rice know and when did she/he/she know it….

[Blumenthal's] memo said the attacks were by "demonstrators" who "were inspired by what many devout Libyan viewed as a sacrilegious internet video on the prophet Mohammed originating in America." Mrs. Clinton forwarded the memo to Mr. Sullivan, saying "More info." (Pages 193-195)...

The next day, Mr. Blumenthal sent Mrs. Clinton a more thorough account of what had occurred. Citing "sensitive sources" in Libya, the memo provided extensive detail about the episode, saying that the siege had been set off by members of Ansar al-Shariah, the Libyan terrorist group.

Those militants had ties to Al Qaeda, had planned the attacks for a month and had used a nearby protest as cover for the siege, the memo said. "We should get this around asap" Mrs. Clinton said in an email to Mr. Sullivan. "Will do," he responded.

That information contradicted the Obama administration's narrative at the time about what had spawned the attacks. Republicans have said the administration misled the country about the attacks because it did not want to undermine the notion that President Obama, who was up for re-election, was winning the war on terrorism. (Pages 200-203).

Score one for Sid Vicious. This exchange suggests that Clinton knew by September 13 that the attacks were not a spontaneous demonstration. Other accounts show that "within 15 minutes" of the attack "that it was terrorism."

National Security Advisor Susan Rice would hit five major talk shows on Sunday, September 16 (Clinton was not available, we were told) and gave variations on the theme that "it was a spontaneous—not a premeditated—response."

So is the whole Hillary Clinton e-mail hysteria really Joe Biden’s Watergate?  Are government agencies being used to undermine a Clinton Presidency in order to continue the devastating foreign policy of the PNAC crowd?   Did Zionist Joe Biden tell Susan Rice to lie to America about Benghazi to ensure the reelection of Barack Obama just like Nixon used government agencies to reelect Richard Nixon?

That is the real question.  Is Joe Biden part of the secret society John Kennedy warned us about?

The Dark Side: The Greek Tragedy, Hillary Hysteria and the Trump Conundrum

“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

When did America cease to be good?  When did America go to the dark side?  I would posit that happened December 12, 2000 when America’s Democratic Republic was overthrown in a coup.  A coup orchestrated by a convergence of the Republican and Democrat members of the U.S. Senate, Supreme Court and American Think Tanks funded by the military industrial complex calling the shots out of the bowels of the Pentagon. 

The great American experiment descended into the depths of darkness taking the entire world along with it.  On December 15^th, 2000 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed into law and drove a final stake through the heart of democracy, America ceased to be great, the die was cast, the curtains came down, America was no longer good, America was no longer great, America was no longer.

The creature from Jekyll Island was unleashed on the world, like a syphilitic junkie looking for its next fix, the predator was let loose.  Let loose on the world, like a serial killer and each kill became more violent, more depraved and would escalate until the monster was stopped if it could be stopped.

So when I read this article in The Intercept entitled “Institute of Peace’s Hawkish Chairman Wants Ukraine to Send Russians Back in Body Bags” it sent chills down my spine.

Excerpt:

The United States Institute of Peace is a publicly funded national institution chartered by the U.S. government to promote international peace through nonviolent conflict resolution.

But its chairman, Stephen Hadley, is a relentless hawk whose advocacy for greater military intervention often dovetails closely with the interests of Raytheon, a major defense contractor that pays him handsomely as a member of its board of directors.

Hadley, the former national security adviser to President George W. Bush, was an advocate for the 2003 invasion of Iraq and more recently appeared in the media to call for massive airstrikes in Syria. Over the last year, he has called for escalating the conflict in Ukraine.

In a speech at Poland’s Wroclaw Global Forum in June, Hadley argued in favor of arming the Ukrainian government in part because that would “raise the cost for what Russia is doing in Ukraine.” Specifically, he said, “even President Putin is sensitive to body bags — it sounds coarse to say, but it’s true…

Hadley also called for European governments to broadly boost military spending, ideally doubling it. “You know, let’s show that Europe is going to have real commitment to military forces,” he said.

The call to flood Ukraine with weapons not only contrasts sharply with the stated mission of the Institute of Peace…  but many scholars believe doing so would provoke more conflict….

…by the law that established it in 1984, it is also bipartisan: No more than eight voting members of board of directors can be from the same political party.

So who do you think are the Democrats that are part and parcel to this cabal?  Let me give you a hint, remember the 2000 election Al Gore was forced to take Joe Lieberman as his running mate?  When Bush lost the election to Gore, Joe Lieberman helped to sabotage the election.

Excerpt:  from NewYork Times International:

WASHINGTON, July 14— For many Democrats immersed in Florida's disputed presidential election, there was no worse moment than the one on Sunday, Nov. 19, when Senator Joseph I. Lieberman appeared on national television and said that election officials should give the ''benefit of the doubt'' to military voters.

Until then, the Democrats had conducted a full-scale effort to persuade counties to disqualify any overseas ballots that lacked postmarks or witness signatures. But on that morning, with Republicans attacking the Gore-Lieberman campaign for eliminating the votes of hundreds of men and women in the armed forces, Mr. Lieberman effectively disavowed the strategy.

Yes, Lieberman wanted Bush ballots that “lacked postmarks or witness signatures” to be counted.  Hmmm, I wonder why.  That decision assisted the overthrow of the elected government in the United States on December 12, 2000.  That decision installed Stephen Hadley in the State Department and later became Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice’s number two in the State Department.

So how did Hadley come to be the Chairman of the United States Institute of Peace?

Hadley was nominated to the institute board by President Barack Obama in February 2013. He joined the institute in August and was elevated to chairman of the board in January 2014.

Well, well, well.  Imagine that, Barack Obama who lost the primary to Hillary Clinton until the big heist in Florida in 2008 that installed BO as President with his self-proclaimed Zionist Vice President Joe Biden, nominated the uber-hawkish Stephen Hadley as chairman of the Orwellian U.S. Institute of Peace’s chair.

Remember the primary race of 2008?  The Bush Administration was a disaster for America and people longed for the return of financial stability and prosperity of the Clinton years.  This is what Donald Trump had to say in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN in 2004:  

When the 2004 election came up, Trump said he identified "more as a Democrat." Blitzer asked him to clarify if he meant he was socially liberal. Trump replied: "I've been around a long time. And it just seems the economy does better under the Democrats than under Republicans."

But in 2004 the fix was in John Kerry would take a dive and Bush would be reelected.  And the fix was in during the Democratic Primary of 2008.  The Democrats like Joe Biden, Joe Lieberman, Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer along with a compliant corrupt media screamed that “Hillary can’t win she doesn’t have the delegates”.  “She has to get out of the race or she’ll hurt Obama”.   

But Hillary didn’t get out of the primary race, she kept on going and kept on winning, state after state and all the way to the commonwealth of Puerto Rico; Hillary won racking up over 18 million votes.  The Democrats’ golden calf Obama was turning out to be a tin cow.  He couldn’t close the deal so the Democrats had to throw the primary election at the Democratic Rules Committee in June of 2007.  From Washington Post:

Excerpt:

Florida Lawmakers Sue Dean, DNC

A federal lawsuit to be filed tomorrow by Florida lawmakers against Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean alleges that Dean and the national party are violating the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act by refusing to recognize the state's Jan. 29 presidential primary.

In a draft of the lawsuit circulating among congressional aides and legal experts, Dean is accused of disenfranchising more than 4 million voters in a scheme that the lawsuit contends would also reduce minority voting. The DNC and the Florida Secretary of State are also named in the suit.

Sounds like Deja vu all over again.

"The defendants have combined to create a Presidential primary election with a stunningly anti-democratic scenario - every one of the more than 4.25 million registered Democratic voters in Florida will be completely disenfranchised and their constitutional rights with respect to that election will be rendered meaningless," the suit alleges.

The suit is being filed by Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Alcee Hastings in response to the DNC's decision last month to disqualify all of Florida's delegates to next year's national party convention.

So the DNC endowed Obama with the nomination even though he didn’t have enough delegates to be the nominee.  That would be the delegates apportioned according to the votes of the Democratic citizens, so he was awarded the “super delegates”.  What are super delegates you may ask?  They are members of the DNC whose votes supersede those of the voters.

Now, there was a problem.  Hillary could take the vote all the way to the convention floor on live TV where she would undoubtedly win the nomination, but the DNC like cockroaches can’t tolerate the disinfectant of sunshine.  So the Grand Dame of the U.S. Senate, Diane Feinstein had to get together with Hillary and Obama to grease the skids for Obama’s ascension to the nomination. 

Of course this is all conjecture on my part, but here’s what I believe went down.  Hillary would step out of the way and would become Secretary of State with a lot of autonomy and latitude.  After all, the Secretary of State is kind of like a co-Presidency and is in the line of succession to the White House.  That had to piss off the U.S. Institute for Peace, they had big plans for the Obama Administration and self-declared Zionist Veep Joe Biden.

All their big plans for hegemony and world dominance were delayed for four years while Clinton was Secretary of State, and that is why Secretary Clinton had a separate e-mail account that the Pentagon and U.S. Institute of Peace didn’t have access to.  That is why the Obama Administration, the U.S. Institute of Peace and the whole cabal are working overtime to leak stories about possible indictments against Secretary Clinton to destroy her candidacy for President.

But I digress, so back to the Intercept article on Stephen Hadley, Obama’s man heading up the U.S. Institute for “Peace.”

But it’s not the first time the institute has served as a platform for American hawkish foreign policy. Robert Turner, the first president of the institute and an appointee by President Ronald Reagan, voiced support for the right-wing death squads in Nicaragua known as the Contras…

Hadley also serves as a highly paid board member of Raytheon, a company that stands to gain from increased military assistance to Ukraine. Hadley has been a Raytheon board member since 2009 and was paid cash and stock awards worth $290,025 in 2014 alone.

For companies like Raytheon, global instability and intervention have been good for business.

Indeed, “for companies like Raytheon, global instability and intervention have been good for business.”  So when I read this article about Syriza Party in Greece at the site called The James Petras Website it was stomach churning: 

Excerpt:

Syriza: Plunder, Pillage and Prostration. (How the ‘Hard Left’ embraces the policies of the Hard Right)

The North American and European Left celebrated Syriza’s election victory as a break with neo-liberal austerity programs and the launch of a radical alternative, which would implement popular initiatives for basic social changes, including measures generating employment, restoring pensions, reversing privatizations, reordering government priorities and favoring payments to employees over foreign banks…

However, prior to, and immediately after being elected, Syriza leaders adopted three basic decisions precluding any basic changes: Indeed, these decisions set it on a reactionary course.

First and foremost, Syriza accepted as legitimate the foreign debt of over $350 billion dollars, although most had been signed by previous government Kleptocrats, corrupt banks, business, real estate and financial interests. Virtually none of this debt was used to finance productive activity or vital services which would strengthen the economy and Greece’s future ability to pay back the loans.

Hundreds of billions of Euros were stashed away in foreign bank accounts and foreign real estate or invested in overseas stocks and bonds. After affirming the ‘legitimacy’ of the illicit debt, Syriza followed up by declaring its ‘willingness’ to pay the debt…

Secondly, and related to the above, Syriza declared its determination to remain in the European Union and Eurozone and thus accepted the surrender of its sovereignty and ability to fashion an independent policy… and make further concessions to the EU overseas banks in a totally one-sided process…

Thirdly, on taking office, Syriza negotiated a coalition with the far-right, pro-NATO, xenophobic, anti-immigrant Independent Greeks Party, guaranteeing that Greece would continue to support NATO’s military policies in the Middle East, the Ukraine and Israel’s brutal campaign against Palestine….

The worst betrayals include: (1) not restoring pension payments; (2) not restoring the minimum wage; (3) not reversing privatizations; (4) not ending austerity programs; and (5) not increasing funds for education, health, housing and local development….

Worse still, Syriza has deepened and extended the policies of its reactionary predecessors. (1)Syriza promised to freeze privatizations: Now it vows to extend them by 3.2 billion Euros and privatize new public sectors. (2) Syriza has agreed to shift scarce public resources to the military, including an investment of $500 million Euros to upgrade the Greek Air Force….

Wow, shifting scarce public resources to the military including an investment of $500 million Euros to the Greek Air Force” isn’t that what Stephen Hadley and the U.S. Institute for Peace are demanding?  Talk about a Greek Tragedy.

Syriza’s foreign policy mimics its predecessors. Syriza’s far right Defense Minister, Panos Kammenos, has been a vocal supporter of the US and EU sanctions against Russia…

Syriza has deliberately emptied the Treasury, plundered pension funds and local municipal holdings in order to blackmail the population to accept as a ‘fait accompli’ the regressive policies of hardline EU bankers – the so-called “austerity programs”….

As Syriza plundered the country of resources to pay the bankers, it escalated its international groveling. Its Defense Minister offered new military bases for NATO, including an air-maritime base on the Greek island of Karpathos.

Syriza escalated Greece’s political and military support for EU and US military intervention and support of “moderate” terrorists in the Middle East, ludicrously in the name of “protecting Christians”…

In the end, Syriza has deepened poverty and unemployment, increased foreign control over the economy, further eroded the public sector, facilitated the firing of workers and slashed severance pay- while increasing the role of the Greek military by deepening its ties to NATO and Israel.

To quote Sargent Joe Kenda, oh my, my, my.  And that brings me to the Trump conundrum and the 2016 election.  The fix is already in, now it’s just a matter of creating the illusion that the next leader that has been preselected by the U.S. Institute for Peace and the Pentagon was really the people’s choice.

The GOP dance card was being filled with reliable puppets and the war on Hillary Clinton has been declared.  Rupert Murdoch’s media empire has be spinning tunes about Hillary’s malfeasance and the e-mails that were not classified at the time are now being “retroactively” classified and crimes are being retroactively committed, by Hillary. 

All was going great, the players were taking their places the Murdoch Wurlitzer was spinning out latest hit parade of tunes; Hillary can’t be trusted, Hillary is unlikeable, Hillary will be indicted and then came The Donald.  Oh boy, that wasn’t in the plan.

A billionaire like Donald Trump doesn’t need money and he doesn’t need a pre-recorded, pre-approved script from the U.S. Institute for Peace.  This is not faring well for the GOP nor does it fare well for the new “Democrat” party. 

The Donald drew a crowd of 20 million to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Debate where Murdoch’s carnival barkers tried to destroy his candidacy.  But The Donald spoke of America being restored to greatness.  The Donald has struck a chord and every attack just make people love him more.  And those people are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. 

It’s time to restore America and send back those who have come here illegally.  Remember all those unaccompanied children that were crossing the border in 2013 and 2014?  From Center for American Progress:

Excerpt:

Over the past few years, and in particular over the past few months, the number of children and families leaving the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras and arriving in neighboring countries and at our southern border has grown significantly.

Already in fiscal year 2014, more than 57,000 children have arrived in the United States, double the number who made it to the U.S. southern border in FY 2013. The number of families arriving at the border, consisting mostly of mothers with infants and toddlers, has increased in similar proportions.

In fiscal year 2013, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, apprehended fewer than 10,000 families per year; yet, more than 55,000 families were apprehended in the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 alone.

The majority of unaccompanied children and families who are arriving come from a region of Central America known as the “Northern Triangle,” where high rates of violence and homicide have prevailed in recent years and economic opportunity is increasingly hard to come by.

Gee, that sounds like the handiwork of the U.S. Institute for Peace.  And what did Hillary have to say about all those children flooding into America from war torn Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador?  From HuffingtonPost:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that unaccompanied minors who crossed the border illegally in a massive influx over recent months "should be sent back" to their native countries, but also that they should be reunited with their families -- which sometimes requires them to stay in the United States.

"They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are, because there are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back," the potential 2016 presidential candidate said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "But I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families."

And that is the Trump conundrum.  If the new Democrat party is successful in knocking Hillary Clinton out of the race for President, her supporters will go to Trump.  On Friday The Donald held a rally in Mobile Alabama that drew a crowd of 30 thousand.  One caller to C-Span put it this way, “in Alabama we have three religions, Methodist, Baptist and football, if the rally had been held on any night other than Friday, it would have been 50 thousand people.”

It was a sight to be seen, Trump was all over the map and said nothing particular of substance but that is what makes him a moving target, really hard to hit for the U.S. Institute of Peace.

Trump’s message has been simple “I want to make America great again.”

So there you have it.  America has gone to the dark side and pulled the world into an endless loop, living in a season of hell we can’t get out of. Or, can we?   

The Darkside is coming, now nothing is real,

She'll never know just how I'll feel

From out of the shadow's she walk's like a dream

Make me feel crazy, make me feel so mean.

Nothing's gonna save ya from the love that's blind.

Slip through the darkside and cross that line.  

On the darkside, oh yeah..

Wag the Dog: $8.5 Trillion Missing at Pentagon Time to Legalize Killing Journalists

Who is running America, is it the President or the Pentagon?  In June of 2015 there were a spate of articles written by reporters citing a 2013 article in Reuters called “Unaccountable, the high cost of thePentagon’s bad bookkeeping” that revealed $8.5 trillion is missing from the Pentagon’s budget.  Shortly after the Pentagon published new guidelines for the torture and murder of journalists.  From Mint Press:  

Excerpt:

Pentagon Legalizes Killing Journalists As ‘Law Of War’

The Pentagon just changed the rules of war to include legitimizing the killing of any journalists they deem “belligerent.”

The new “laws of war” were released as part of a book of instructions on legitimate warfare practices approved by the United States military.

This “rule book” of sorts details what the US government deems the acceptable ways of killing those they claim are the “enemy”… including journalists whose reporting they do not approve.

The manual explains that the Pentagon considers such journalists “unprivileged belligerents,” even though they are not “enemy combatants….”

Now, the American 1,176-page “Department of Defense Law of War Manual” says that it is perfectly legitimate to shoot, explode, bomb, stab, or cut journalists they deem “belligerent.”

Hmm, don’t like the message, literally kill the messenger.  There is a reason journalists are protected by the U.S. Constitution as well as by the Geneva Conventions.  But ever since the overthrow of the government in 2000 the Geneva Convention and U.S. Constitution has been abandoned by the Pentagon and their handmaidens in the U.S. government.

It was their illegally installed “President” George W. Bush who declared the constitution a goddamned piece of paper.  From Rense:

Excerpt:

Bush - Constitution 'Just A Goddamned Piece Of Paper'

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

I've talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper."

And, to the Bush Administration, the Constitution of the United States is little more than toilet paper stained from all the shit that this group of power-mad despots have dumped on the freedoms that "goddamned piece of paper" used to guarantee.

And how has the fourth estate fared in keeping the public informed since the U.S. Constitution was declared a “goddamned piece of paper” by George W. Bush?  From Aljazeera:  

Excerpt:

Iraq: The deadliest war for journalists

More journalists were killed during the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq than in any war in history.

On April 8, 2003, during the US-led invasion of Iraq, Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Ayoub was killed when a US warplane bombed Al Jazeera's headquarters in Baghdad.

The invasion and subsequent nine-year occupation of Iraq claimed the lives of a record number of journalists. It was undisputedly the deadliest war for journalists in recorded history.

Disturbingly, more journalists were murdered in targeted killings in Iraq than died in combat-related circumstances, according to the group Committee to Protect Journalists.

CPJ research shows that "at least 150 journalists and 54 media support workers were killed in Iraq from the US-led invasion in March 2003 to the declared end of the war in December 2011."

"The media were not welcome by the US military," Soazig Dollet, who runs the Middle East and North Africa desk of Reporters Without Borders told Al Jazeera….

Al Jazeera bore a constant barrage of bellicose verbiage from Bush administration officials during the invasion and occupation. Then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld labeled Al Jazeera Arabic's reportage as "vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable." 

But the verbal attack had been preceded by bombs in Afghanistan.

The US bombed Al Jazeera's office in Kabul during the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan, and attacked the media outlet multiple times during the 2003 Iraq invasion, including the killing of Ayoub, despite the fact that Al Jazeera supplied the Pentagon with their headquarter's coordinates in Baghdad in February 2003….

On the same day Ayoub was killed a US tank shelled the Palestine Hotel, and office to more than 100 unembedded international journalists operating in Baghdad at the time. The shell smashed into the Reuters office, killing two cameramen, Reuters' Taras Protsyuk and Jose Couso of Spain's Telecinco. That day there was also an attack on an Abu Dhabi TV office by US forces.

And that was when it was illegal for the Pentagon to deliberately target journalists.  So how have journalists fared under the tenure of constitutional scholar Barack Obama and his self-proclaimed Zionist side kick, Joe Biden?  From Common Dreams:  

Excerpt:

An Assault from Obama’s Escalating War on Journalism

In a memoir published this year, the CIA’s former top legal officer John Rizzo says that on the last day of 2005 a panicky White House tried to figure out how to prevent the distribution of a book by New York Times reporter James Risen. Officials were upset because Risen’s book, State of War, exposed what -- in his words -- “may have been one of the most reckless operations in the modern history of the CIA.”

The book told of a bungled CIA attempt to set back Iran’s nuclear program in 2000 by supplying the Iranian government with flawed blueprints for nuclear-bomb design. The CIA’s tactic might have actually aided Iranian nuclear development.

When a bootlegged copy of State of War reached the National Security Council, a frantic meeting convened in the Situation Room, according to Rizzo. “As best anyone could tell, the books were printed in bulk and stacked somewhere in warehouses.” The aspiring censors hit a wall. “We arrived at a rueful consensus: game over as far as any realistic possibility to keep the book, and the classified information in it, from getting out.”

But more than eight years later, the Obama White House is seeking a different form of retribution. The people running the current administration don’t want to pulp the book -- they want to put its author in jail.

The Obama administration is insisting that Risen name his confidential source -- or face imprisonment. Risen says he won’t capitulate.

The Freedom of the Press Foundation calls the government’s effort to force Risen to reveal a source “one of the most significant press freedom cases in decades.”

Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says: “The pursuit of Risen is a warning to potential sources that journalists cannot promise them confidentiality for disclosing Executive Branch criminality, recklessness, deception, unconstitutional policies or lying us into war. Without protecting confidentiality, investigative journalism required for accountability and democracy will wither and disappear….”

So now, with $8.5 trillion dollars missing at the Pentagon, let’s take a look at the lifestyles of the four star generals that have demanded and been given the legal authority to “shoot, explode, bomb, stab, or cut journalists they deem “belligerent.”  From Hampton Roads:

Excerpt:

Former defense secretary Robert Gates stopped bagging his leaves when he moved into a small Washington military enclave in 2007. His next-door neighbor was Mike Mullen, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had a chef, a personal valet and - not lost on Gates - troops to tend his property.

Gates may have been the civilian leader of the world’s largest military, but his position did not come with household staff. So, he often joked, he disposed of his leaves by blowing them onto the chairman’s lawn.

“I was often jealous because he had four enlisted people helping him all the time,” Gates said in response to a question after a speech Thursday. He wryly complained to his wife that “Mullen’s got guys over there who are fixing meals for him, and I’m shoving something into the microwave. And I’m his boss.”

Of the many facts that have come to light in the scandal involving former CIA director David Petraeus, among the most curious was that during his days as a four-star general, he was once escorted by 28 police motorcycles as he traveled from his Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla. to socialite Jill Kelley’s mansion. Although most of his trips did not involve a presidential-size convoy, the scandal has prompted new scrutiny of the imperial trappings that come with a senior general’s lifestyle.

The commanders who lead the nation’s military services and those who oversee troops around the world enjoy an array of perquisites befitting a billionaire, including executive jets, palatial homes, drivers, security guards and aides to carry their bags, press their uniforms and track their schedules in 10-minute increments.

Their food is prepared by gourmet chefs. If they want music with their dinner parties, their staff can summon a string quartet or a choir.

In 1933 a plan was concocted by a confluence of Wall Street Bankers, Industrialists and the military to overthrow President Franklin Roosevelt and end the New Deal:  From Huppi:

Excerpt:

THE BUSINESS PLOT TO OVERTHROW ROOSEVELT

In the summer of 1933, shortly after Roosevelt's "First 100 Days," America's richest businessmen were in a panic. It was clear that Roosevelt intended to conduct a massive redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Roosevelt had to be stopped at all costs.

The answer was a military coup. It was to be secretly financed and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires. This included some of America's richest and most famous names of the time:

Irenee Du Pont - Right-wing chemical industrialist and founder of the American Liberty League, the organization assigned to execute the plot.

Grayson Murphy - Director of Goodyear, Bethlehem Steel and a group of J.P. Morgan banks.

William Doyle - Former state commander of the American Legion and a central plotter of the coup.

John Davis - Former Democratic presidential candidate and a senior attorney for J.P. Morgan.

Al Smith - Roosevelt's bitter political foe from New York. Smith was a former governor of New York and a codirector of the American Liberty League.

John J. Raskob - A high-ranking Du Pont officer and a former chairman of the Democratic Party. In later decades, Raskob would become a "Knight of Malta," a Roman Catholic Religious Order with a high percentage of CIA spies, including CIA Directors William Casey, William Colby and John McCone.

Robert Clark - One of Wall Street's richest bankers and stockbrokers.

Gerald MacGuire - Bond salesman for Clark, and a former commander of the Connecticut American Legion. MacGuire was the key recruiter to General Butler.

The plotters attempted to recruit General Smedley Butler to lead the coup. They selected him because he was a war hero who was popular with the troops...

What the businessmen proposed was dramatic: they wanted General Butler to deliver an ultimatum to Roosevelt. Roosevelt would pretend to become sick and incapacitated from his polio, and allow a newly created cabinet officer, a "Secretary of General Affairs," to run things in his stead.

The secretary, of course, would be carrying out the orders of Wall Street. If Roosevelt refused, then General Butler would force him out with an army of 500,000 war veterans from the American Legion….

"You know the American people will swallow that. We have got the newspapers. We will start a campaign that the President's health is failing. Everyone can tell that by looking at him, and the dumb American people will fall for it in a second…"

The businessmen also promised that money was no object: Clark told Butler that he would spend half his $60 million fortune to save the other half.

And what type of government would replace Roosevelt's New Deal….?  

"We need a fascist government in this country…  Indeed, it turns out that MacGuire travelled to Italy to study Mussolini's fascist state, and came away mightily impressed. He wrote glowing reports back to his boss, Robert Clark, suggesting that they implement the same thing.

If this sounds too fantastic to believe, we should remember that by 1933, the crimes of fascism were still mostly in the future, and its dangers were largely unknown, even to its supporters. But in the early days, many businessmen openly admired Mussolini because he had used a strong hand to deal with labor unions, put out social unrest, and get the economy working again, if only at the point of a gun.

Americans today would be appalled to learn of the many famous millionaires back then who initially admired Hitler and Mussolini: Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, John and Allen Dulles (who, besides being millionaires, would later become Eisenhower's Secretary of State and CIA Director, respectively), and, of course, everyone on the above list. They disavowed Hitler and Mussolini only after their atrocities grew to indefensible levels…

So the fascist Wall Street bankers’ military industrial complex overthrow of the government envisioned in 1933 has come to fruition and its wag the dog.  $8.5 trillion dollars is missing at the Pentagon, it’s time to make it legal for the Pentagon to kill the investigative journalists who would hold them accountable.
