Hillary McCarthy

     The intelligence community is trying to take over the government by taking down Trump, another way of saying the intelligence community is trying to take over the world.  Aided in this doomed to fail endeavor by the Democratic Party establishment, war hawks all, by mainstream news media, too, this long-game effort received a boost when the Soviet Union ended in 1991, the year before Bill Clinton's win established neoliberalism as standard empire-building practice in a new "unipolar" world.
     Clinton's wife, Hillary, had served on the Walmart board of directors, a position she did not receive for championing unions and a federal minimum wage increase.  In 1964, Hillary Rodham was a "Goldwater Girl," i.e., a Republican.  Her political loyalties, like Donald Trump's, have fluctuated according to her need to seem likable, enlightened, and, these days, relevant.
     Her true nature to be unpleasant reveals itself whenever she resurfaces, as she has done recently, making talk show appearances with Rachel Maddow and on The View.  She co-authored a book with her daughter, Chelsea, but that's overshadowed now by the slander she's leveled against two of her enemies.
     On October 17, 2019, Clinton was interviewed by former Obama strategist David Plouffe on his podcast.  She said, "I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third party candidate.  She's the favorite of the Russians."  Clinton added, incredibly, that Jill Stein is a "Russian asset."
     Hillary Clinton gave no evidence for these accusations.  She must feel her august presence in the American political establishment is enough to convince us of the truth of these batshit crazy statements.  Her spokesman, Nick Merrill, backed up the accusation against Gabbard, saying, "If the nesting doll fits."
     Nick Merrill, according to Ronan Farrow in his new book about famous men in the entertainment and news industries who rape women and get away with it, blocked Farrow from an interview with Hillary Clinton--for an unrelated article on a foreign policy subject.  Farrow's research for his book had identified sexual predator Harvey Weinstein as a major donor to Hillary Clinton in the past.  Nick Merrill, thus, isn't a Russian asset, but he is an enabler of a serial rapist on behalf of Hillary Clinton.
     After Clinton's remarks were condemned by some Democrats and Republicans, with even an establishment journalist like Erin Burnett of CNN shaking her head in disbelief, Merrill demonstrated his cravenness further by tweeting, "She doesn't say the Russians are grooming anyone.  It was a question about Republicans."
     No, Nick, she was referring to Russians--were you in a coma during Russiagate?
     Gabbard in 2016 resigned her position as vice chair of the DNC and endorsed Bernie Sanders, a slight that Hillary Clinton, it's clear now, has never forgiven.  Jill Stein's one and a half million votes in 2016 (mine among them) boil inside Hillary Clinton, too, as she and her stalwart supporters continue to believe the Green party candidate miraculously cost her the election.  Clinton received nearly 2.9 million votes more than Trump.  Had Stein voters picked Clinton instead, the disgruntled loser of two presidential races would still have been nearly 1.4 million votes ahead of Trump.  More telling, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received nearly 4.5 million votes, yet, he's never incurred the wrath of Hillary and her most fervent supporters.  Sexism?
     A thwarted politician filled with cold rage should never be anywhere near a position of authority, but MSNBC, CNN, and The New York Times have given Clinton a pass.  Karen Finney, a longtime Clintonite, argued lamely, "She [Tulsi Gabbard] hasn't denied being a Russian asset."
     As with Russiagate, a lack of logic underlies the arguments of Gabbard's most vicious critics.  Congresswoman Gabbard has a top security clearance because she serves on the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, receiving weekly unclassified and classified briefings dealing with national security and foreign policy matters, just the kind of Russian asset you'd expect to be entrusted with U.S. government secrets.  Wow!  It's like The Manchurian Candidate!
     She is, furthermore, Major Gabbard of the Hawaii Army National Guard, a decorated Iraq War veteran.  Hillary Clinton's former friend Donald Trump insulted a veteran "for getting captured," John McCain, as well as Gold Star parents whose son sacrificed his life to save his fellow soldiers.  For these jabs, Trump was rightly condemned.  By contrast, no one defending Hillary Clinton's latest outrageous statements feels shame about smearing the veteran Tulsi Gabbard.
     It's as if Team Hillary has no principles or integrity.
     Their inability to explain how a politician so highly placed in government could be a Russian asset, i.e. a traitor, reflects their failure, ultimately, to establish with Russiagate how a U.S. President, Donald Trump, could be the same species of sinister tool of a foreign adversarial power.
     With her elevated place in American politics--former First Lady, former Senator, former Secretary of State--Hillary Clinton has the influential voice to call for a thorough investigation of Russia's plot to make Gabbard quit the Democratic Party and steal votes from the Democratic nominee, like with Jill Stein, although not with Gary Johnson--never mind that bit of illogic.
     Doesn't Hillary Clinton have a duty to do more than simply make an evidence-free accusation on a podcast?  Could this Russian conspiracy extend to the U.S. military?  Should Congress investigate the Hawaii Army National Guard?  Are Clinton and her surrogates prepared to take it to the next level?
     They're not.
     Tulsi Gabbard tweeted a reply, calling Clinton "Queen of warmongers," accusing her of being at the heart of the rot of the Democratic Party.  This reaction received condemnation from Hillary supporters.  Joy Behar of The View, as stupid about politics as her co-hostess Meghan McCain, except from the Democratic Party side, said the "warmongers" line didn't sit well with her.  Right, the Secretary of State who, in 2011, embarked on a successful effort to destroy Libya and helped foment the Syrian Civil War isn't a warmonger.  A woman who has called former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak a friend doesn't "coddle dictators," as Trump is so often accused of doing.
     I must employ some sarcasm in this piece to help me get through an account dealing with a woman I genuinely hate.
     Jimmy Dore on his YouTube show displayed side by side two pictures from 2005.  Tulsi Gabbard, Hawaii Army National Guard, stationed in the Sunni Triangle, next to a photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton at Donald and Melania Trump's wedding, laughing it up.  One of the four in the wedding picture believed Bush and Cheney about imaginary weapons of mass destruction, then voted to send soldiers like Tulsi Gabbard to Iraq.  Hillary Clinton now slanders, without offering evidence, someone she sent to fight a war founded on a lie.  Lying, though, is first nature with the woman who used the promotion of a book written with her daughter to further glorify her ego, a restless mass inside her brain that may yet convince her to run for president one last time.
     It's weird that Hillary never bitches about the electoral college giving 304 votes to Trump while she received 227--the real reason she lost, not because of Jill Stein voters like me, although had I been responsible for her failure I'd be pleased with the thought.
