RSSWhile I’ve traditionally opposed many of Mr. Buchanan’s views, I’ve come to support him on the fundamental issues of anti- militarism and trade which ‘trump’ all other issues, since our survival is dependent upon us not getting into nuclear war with Russia over defense of el qaeda barbarians, the view threatened by Hillary and GOP neocons, and our health, safety and prosperity is dependent upon us not being subject to “trade agreements” which allow private arbitrators to decide whether we have hormones in our milk or whether companies can shut down and move to slave wage third world locations.
Trump seems to be right on these two key issues and the attacks on him by the lamestream media and by establishment lackeys are based more on the fact that he is not under the control of the corporate power structure. Though incidents occur at his meetings and though he has made some “politically incorrect” statements, I think that much of the reaction to him by the power structure is based on the fact he won’t play by the rules. Since the overthrow of Khaddafi engineered by Hillary has created a failed state largely run by el qaeda type barbarians, the fear of the power structure is that she will face a candidate who can truthfully attack her bad judgment and war crimes on this issue.
As this documents, Hillary went ahead knowing the likely consequences. The status of being a war criminal should be a disqualification rather than a qualification to act as US president.
Hillary is a stinking pile of excrement. Trump says a few things that are off, but is being pilloried by the fascist establishment as a “fascist”. Trump’s views on trade and trying to survive rather than starting a final nuclear war are attractive. I like Sanders, but I think the establishment regime and turkeys willing to vote for harpies despite proof of war crimes makes Trump the real hope. God help us if it is the Harpy versus an establishment neocon, including Cruz.
As is usually the case, Margolis’s analysis is spot on. The fact is, Hillary went in with eyes open, realizing that a jihadi-influenced failed state would be the result. The Queen of Chaos should face war crimes liability for her actions here and elsewhere. Anyone who votes for her in light of the information available has the same responsibility as the “good Germans” who supported that odious regime.
This is an excellent overview of the present deplorable situation. I’m not sure we can survive the fascist harpy’s tenure in office. Too many turkeys are voting for harpies. The latest ‘misspeak’ about aids probably won’t do the trick. I think Stein will get a lot of votes, and, if they don’t sideline Trump, he is obviously the lesser evil in comparison with a proven war criminal.
This reveals how political correctness can morph into wholesale violations of free speech. It becomes politically incorrect and proscribed to attack an apartheid regime based on religious discrimination and ethnic cleansing. Unfortunately, the end result may be to resurrect historic stereotypes which had been buried by the destruction of the odious Nazi regime in 1945.
I concur that it is factual treason to be an exponent of the interests of a foreign state over the interests of the country you supposedly represent. This appears to be standard operating procedure in the yankee capital these days.
While the idea of the European Union might have been good at the outset, the undemocratic bureaucracy and the neoliberalism as exhibited in the destruction of Greece show that the Union has degenerated into a mere construct for financial and corporate plunder. Meanwhile, the Union’s foreign policy has also been exposed as a sort of quisling regime operating on behalf of yankee interests as the author indicates. As such it needs to be eliminated for Europe to regain its self-determination.
Hillary’s Libya war was not only criminal but stupid. She should face legal accountability for what amounts to the war crime of starting an aggressive war.
The danger is that if things go totally pear shaped prejudices and propaganda thought historically buried by the experience of combating the odious Nazi regime could become, like the Lazarus myth, revivified.
If Bernie does increasingly well the rest of the way as appears likely, and it appears too obviously that he has been robbed of the nomination by the corrupt party machine, things may turn out differently than expected in the fall. Meanwhile, a new poll shows that Trump may not do as badly in Wisconsin as some are suggesting, and other scandals may be lurking for Cruz. Meanwhile, Trump seems to have stabilized his position in the east, making it certain that he will be fairly close to a pledged delegate majority (over the top if he can win California.
I don’t think Hillary will wear well, since she is so obviously fraudulent, phony and dangerous. Also Trump, not burdened with political correctness, is likely to point out Hillary’s actual crimes, including Libya, where the Jihadis she supported into power, as part of their takeover effort, were guilty of a mass-murder of sub-Saharan Africans Khadaffi’s regime had settled in Libya. If this gets out, it eliminates the Afro-American “firewall”. It is unfortunate that Sanders has been too nice a guy to bring up this issue.
Bottom line is that I agree with Giraldi’s view that Trump is distinctly less odious than Hillary. I also suspect that a campaign lasting many months will reveal that much of the media hot air is hot air in this instance, and that Trump, though a blowhard who shoots from the hip, will seem more likeable and less dangerous than the establishment candidate, who is sort of a cross between Thatcher and Blair and is perhaps even more odious than either of them.
I agree. Factual fascism “trumps” false accusations. Trump’s foreign policy is more rational than that of the unconvicted war criminal (based on her spearheading of the destruction of the Libyan state). It is suspicious how the lamestream media always reads from the same playbook. Those with a knowledge of Nazi history know that, even under the third Reich, nominally independent papers like the Frankfurter Zeitung or Der Tag continued to publish, but always followed the regime’s line with slightly independent nuance. Clinton’s record as a corporate pimp and a war promoter should have ruled her out of serious consideration except that the lunatics have definitely seized control of this asylum for the last 20 years or so.
Trump’s ace in the hole against Clinton and the establishment’s race baiting is the record of the el qaeda types Clinton helped install in Libya. They liquidated 10s of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans the Khaddafi regime had enabled to settle in Libya according to Khaddafi’s views on African unity as “mercenaries.”
Trump is the one candidate whose contempt for “political correctness” will enable him to bring this issue up. I think that, if this issue is brought up effectively, it has the potential of tanking the Clintons’ black “firewall.” I am sure the establishment will continue their coverup, but Trump is the most likely to bring up this issue. Since it is provable truth, it will be difficult for Hillary and the power structure to maintain the coverup. I suspect that this issue is one reason why the complete dual party establishment structure has gone after Trump so aggressively. They realize that he is the type of candidate who can and will bring up issues like this one.
Hillary should be facing the big house for this one, not the white house.
Trump is winning despite all of the crap thrown at him by the uniparty power structure. They are afraid of him because he is likable, in contrast to the establishment’s harpy avatar in this election. The political machine and propaganda methods used to secure her primacy in the Democratic primary show the stink of corruption. What they are afraid of is that Trump won’t play by the rules. If the evidence shows that the harpy was instrumental in the Libyan war crime, he won’t hesitate to bring this fact up. He also will not be afraid to bring out the fact that the el qaeda element Hillary supported in the overthrow of the Libyan state liquidated tens of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans Khaddafi had brought in to settle there as part of his African Union viewpoint. Bringing this fact out could eliminate the racial firewall which enabled the Harpy to get the inside track on the nomination.
This is the best discussion of the campaign that I have seen. I think that, under those circumstances, Trump would be strong as a third party candidate. If he wins California, which I think he will do handily, it is all over, however, for the corporate parasites. I also think that the truckloads of bandini bullshit from all elements of the uniparty against Trump will subside when, over the months long campaign, people can see that he does not measure up to the evil he is painted as, and Hillary’s loathsomeness will stand out. Also, Trump won’t hesitate to highlight the criminal elements of her record, including her undisputed role as the spearhead of US war crimes in Libya and the unprecedented corruption of the 10s of millions of dollars the Clintons have been paid as disguised bribes for fawning speeches at corporate meetings.
Somehow, veiled support by Bush fils and Bush pere may not be that helpful to the Clintons, since it exposes them as warmongers and establishment lackeys. It is true that too many democrats will vote for a sack of cowdung if it is labeled as the Democratic nominee, but the baggage carried by the Clintons, including war crimes in Libya and support for an extra-legal coup in Honduras, and even a historical revision of their vaunted success in Kosovo now that it has come out that those they helped to power included gangsters who made their living stealing organs for the transplant business renders their position extremely vulnerable in November. A particular issue Trump is likely to expose is the fact the el qaeda element Clinton helped to power in Libya engaged in a mass liquidation of sub-Saharan Africans Khadaffi had settled in Libya as “mercenaries.” If this issue is properly aired, then the Clintons’ firewall” of black votes should be compromised if not totally turned around.
Were I in Britain, I would go to the bookies and take the odds on a Trump presidency.
Since Trump will not be bound by political correctness in his attacks based on the real dangers posed by Hillary’s warlike policies, I expect him to do far better than expected, even among African Americans, particularly once he discusses Clinton’s role in bringing el qaeda to Libya. One of the results of this Clinton ‘success’ was the mass murder of “mercenaries” by the triumphant Jihadi element after Libya was destabilized at the behest of Clinton. These ” mercenaries” were sub-Saharan Africans whom the Khaddafi regime had invited to settle in Libya as a result of his Pan-African views. Meanwhile, particularly if Sanders keeps doing well, the Clinton victory will be revealed as a fraudulent corrupt victory.
Because rightwing Hillary supporters tend to send in their ballots earlier, the early returns in Oregon were skewed towards a narrow result. Already, Sanders has opened up a 13% near landslide lead, carrying every county of the state over the fascist harpy. I would expect the final result to be a nearly 3-2 win. The moral corruption of the Clintons mentioned in this posting is interesting, but isn’t even the worst element of the miasma emanating from the corrupt dynasty.
Sanders, after the Nevada thing, should quit playing pattycake and attack the harpy directly on Libya. Included in that fiasco is a mass murder of Africans perpetrated by the jihadi thugs Hillary supported to overthrow Khaddafi. This factual exposure would lead to a collapse of Hillary’s minority vote. Sanders has no interest in supporting a party which has shown its corrupt face. This would give them a stark choice: either go with him, try to parachute somebody else in via the superdelegates, or accept certain massive defeat from Trump once the racial minority vote firewall is breached by the exposure of this jihadi genocide in Libya.
This is a serious issue. As has been reported elsewhere, the Clintons’ Kosovo effort is now known to have put a corrupt regime of organ snatchers into power while the Clintons are venerated as the founding enablers of this regime. Hillary, as the chief spearhead of the Libya overthrow, a war crime and crime against humanity, should be facing international justice, not being crowned as the new queen of a “Democratic” party which has sunk into a mire of militaristic corruption. Hillary’s role in Honduras is also odious. Meanwhile, advocating a no-fly zone to defend terrorists, is beyond lunacy. If Trump effectively brings out these issues, he should derail the Clinton machine, especially since, in the last 40 years or so, the democratic voters have tended to be the less militaristic element.
Nonsense.
... especially since, in the last 40 years or so, the democratic voters have tended to be the less militaristic element.
As always, an excellent discussion of the issues presented. As is indicated, the Harpy’s ascension to power would entail even the threat of nuclear war. The new book coming out now by a retired member of the US pretorian guard who had direct experience with the harpy’s erratic behaviour should highlight and corroborate books which have appeared in the last year from authors who interviewed similar sources. The fact that in 2011 the BBC even reported that the barbarians the US, largely at the harpy’s request, supported by France employed to eliminate the Khaddafi regime engaged in a mass murder of 30,000 Africans as “mercenaries” in the territories they had seized around Benghazi is something that will probably be thoroughly gone into in the course of the campaign. We can be sure that Trump won’t hesitate to bring this issue up. It is an issue that should eliminate the Clintons’ racial “firewall” since, though the lamestream media will certainly try, the fact that this mass murder has been documented will make it impossible to gainsay as a conspiracy theory rant. Once this provable truth becomes a serious campaign issue, I don’t see how the Clinton dynasty can be restored.
Since there are reports that the Russians have copies of her emails, it probably behoves them to release them. The feeding frenzy over Trump’s shot from the hip at the judge who is, in fact, probably biassed, is being used by the regime to instal the fascist Harpy. The question, though, is whether people really believe the press any longer, and the other question is whether if Trump brings up the Libya thing, including the fact the el qaeda thugs Hillary helped instal in Libya did a massacre of 30,000 Africans living near Benghazi as “mercenaries” as reported by the mainstream BBC the structure will be able to dismiss this proven fact as a conspiracy theory. Tough times are ahead.
Given that Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race, shouldn't it be La Etnia (or La Origen Etnico - online translators give both), i.e. The Ethnicity.Replies: @Buzz Mohawk, @exiled off mainstreet
and the judge belonging to La Raza is not racist?!
You are right in this characterisation, since hispanics from Argentina or Brazil have a different racial make-up, as do hispanics hailing from central America or different parts of Mexico. It is more of a cultural category. What brings in race at all in this instance is the name of the organization the judge and his crony, the suing attorney belong to, “la Raza” which can be literally translated as “the Race”.
Trump should not have used the adjective “Mexican” in his critique of this situation, which appears to be a more usual case of lawyers being too close to the judges they are using to prosecute their civil case. The fact that both the judge and the suing attorney have a long record of association in this organization and that both have called for boycotts of Trump’s businesses because of their dislike of statements he has made (statements I also dislike but which I am willing to overlook to some degree because the other presumed major candidate is a fraudster and a war criminal) creates an inference of corruption against the entire lawsuit being prosecuted against Trump. For good or evil, he makes statements without the usual political correctness filters. Since his supporters are aware of this, and since the element of corruption in the association he is attacking is provable, I don’t see this as having much of a permanent effect on things.
Brazil is at most 10% Hispanic, the vast majority of that blood coming directly to Brazil from Spain. When asked in 1998, only 4.4% of Brazilians reported their "origem" as Spanish.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Brazil#Statistics

Though anti- “wog” attitudes are part of the Brexit campaign, what the real issue is is the loss of sovereignty to unaccountable neoliberal bureaucrats willing to sell greater European sovereignty to the lobbyists and corporate parasites making these “trade” agreements like TIPP which would sideline the rule of law and replace it by corporate arbitrators which could eventually eliminate food regulations and even national health type medical systems which protect peoples’ health better than yankee corporate parasitism. The European Union also has the destruction of Greece and the establishment of permanent recession in places like Ireland and Spain on its conscience.
The European Union is also how yankee neocon interests organize Europe to fight their new cold war against Russia. This, of course, is against everybody’s interest since the end result might be a nuclear war. If enough of the anti-imperialist element joins the anti-wog element, then Brexit will triumph, sovereignty will be restored, and the imperialist neocon neoliberal interests will be sent packing. Perhaps a similar dynamic is in place in the yankee homeland itself where politically incorrect critiques of immigration might successfully be combined with demands to protect living standards from neoliberal erosion and absurd warfare on behalf of foreign interests to do the good work, despite the negative aspects of the backwards attitudes, of achieving of anti-imperialist coalition.
While I don’t go along with the racial element of this posting, the fact is that Curiel and the plaintiff attorney suing trump are among the leaders of La Raza, and indicate a level of bias where, if the judge were a fair man, he would recuse himself from the suit. The fact he hasn’t shows that the rule of law no longer really obtains in the US.
Based on Hillary’s record of militarism and her friendship with the neoliberal power structure including fracking oil companies and her past support of the so-called “free trade” “treaties” which are treasonous sellouts of national sovereignty and legal systems to corporate arbitration tribunals, he should not be saying she is acceptable at all. Instead he is largely following the politically correct mantras on this election. Bear in mind also that Hillary is a war criminal based on her role in Libya.
It seems to me that fear of armageddon on behalf of el qaeda thugs ‘trumps” politically correct war criminals every time.
The biggest issue in any election is whether electing the wrong candidate creates a risk of nuclear war. In light of the harpy’s penchant for war, including war that risks nuclear annihilation, I have to say that the prospect of no risk to continued survival literally trumps political correctness. I was impressed by Trump’s critique of the Clinton regime and its corrupt, baleful effects. They are like past megalomaniacs in their desire for absolute power for the yankee imperium, and their record of corruption is indeed impressive. Though I might opt for Jill Stein, I think that the gravity of the situation impels supporting Trump despite his imperfections. The fact he is willing to call them out on war crimes, among other issues, speaks for him. He should also bring up the fact that the jihadis Clinton supported in Libya are guilty of a mass liquidation of sub-Saharan Africans Khaddafi had settled there as part of his view favouring African unity. The Harpy is not merely a war criminal. Those she spearheaded in the Libya takeover are guilty of crimes against humanity.
The coverup of the attack against the US naval ship Liberty in ’67 at the time of the Arab-Israeli war can be shown as when the Israeli tail started wagging the yankee dog.

Your evaluation of the comment is correct. It’s all just a kabuki to put lipstick on the pig of Harpy’s fix. No person of good will can support a proven war criminal (the Libya thing, including a mass murder of African settlers in Libya by the raghead el qaeda element Hillary’s effort sponsored in Libya, constitutes both a war crime and a crime against humanity). The fact is, Trump’s positions on wars, militarism and globalism are less regressive than the Harpy’s and his latest recommendation of the book “Clinton Cash” will also have repercussions, since it documents the stench of corruption represented by the Clinton apparatus. After the various and sundry manipulations which were needed to secure the victory of the corporate slime neoliberal neocon candidate, how can anybody seriously support this effort?
The Washington Post is the Pravda of the establishment neocon regime and part of the Clinton campaign and as such is not a credible source.
The destructive nature of the EU’s policies towards Greece and even Ireland was enough of an argument for British departure. Even Scotland’s vote was less pro-EU than one would have thought, since the SNP wants to use Scotland’s support for the EU as a rationale for a secession referendum. The EU as a neoliberal unaccountable bureaucratic state with no democratic basis is another ground for Britain’s exit, as the fact it has degenerated into the means of fastening Washington consensus policies on European countries and threatening consumer protection, health and labour standards there.
The yankee imperium has evolved into the inverted totalitarianism structure. The mainstream press and those inside the beltway are no more free agents than politburo members were during the Soviet era. Why would Nekrasov, prior to this film a known enemy of the Russian state, change his views unless he was an honourable man convinced by the evidence? The treatment of this film reveals the true nature of the contemporary yankee power structure.
While I think you are spot on in your comments and critiques of the neoliberal defenders of the threatened order, I think “progressive” is no longer a valid term for those defending the corrupt order even if they still think that they are the “progressives.” What they are is 21st century version of soft-totalitarians demanding an absolute unipolar corporate order. As such they are a new version of fascism.
The lamestream conservatives are supporting the Harpy because she follows their toxic corporate militaristic globalist gameplan more closely than does Trump, who takes positions based at least in part on a view of what is in the interests of the public. I expect the quislings to continue along this line. Some elements of the left, however, can see Hillary’s fascism. The question will be if enough of them are gulled by purported “leftist” critiques of Trump as a “fascist” to vote against their interests. Of course, there are always those who will vote for a stinking pile of manure if it follows their party label.
Comey should have quit like Ashcroft threatened to do rather than accept the whitewash. Meanwhile, the answer, as Mr. Buchanan indicates, is obvious: that she is morally unfit to be president, particularly since she is a war criminal based on her spearheading a reluctant Obama and Gates into destroying Libya. She is also responsible for the actions of the Jihadis she sponsored in Libya, including a mass liquidation of sub-Saharan Africans Khaddafi had allowed to settle in Libya as part of his belief in African unity.
Trump needs to bring up the aftermath of Hillary’s Libya venture: not just the liquidation of the US ambassador by jihadis but their mass liquidation of Africans Khaddafi had settled in Libya as part of his belief in African unity.
I’m hoping wikileaks has copies and decides to release them. I’m hoping the Russians or the Chinese have hacked them and choose to release the contents, because I am sure that they constitute a smoking gun documenting the unprecedented corruption discussed. This, and the war crimes issue render her fit for the crossbar motel rather than the whitehouse.
If true this completely discredits the entire power structure, and there appears to be evidence to back it up.
Though I am one of the few commenting here who thinks that Black Lives Matter has a legitimate point, I think the Harpy is thoroughly cynical in backing them. She is cynically manipulating the minority vote to retain it as a “firewall” and her real views are strictly authoritarian, certainly much more so than Trump’s. If indeed as I eventually expect to happen she backs off from this view, it will again reveal her cynicism in light of her strict authoritarian mindset in exploiting this issue. This puts her is in a box: if she continues to espouse this view done as a calculated effort to help her gain power, the traditional US absolute respect for authority will damage her with non-black voters. When she realizes therefore that she has to back off, then her cynicism is again revealed in a teachable moment which will cost her the enthusiasm she retains among black voters. Of course, Trump should also bring up the blowback from the Libya overthrow which Clinton sponsored as secretary of state. This blowback includes a mass liquidation by the triumphant jihadi element in Libya of sub-Saharan Africans Khaddafi had allowed to settle in Libya as part of his belief in African unity. The terrorist element murdered them as “mercenaries.”
Cockburn’s contribution and this response are obviously correct. This means that the harpy has to be kept out of office to ensure our survival. Don’t expect this recklessness not to have consequences. Survival trumps political correctness.
It is a shame Ginsberg seems to think that an unconvicted war criminal would be beneficial to the US legal system. In addition, the corrupt criminal baggage carried by the Clintons what with the foundation (the real reason the emails were kept secret, in all likelihood) and the multi-millions in disguised bribes given as “speaking fees” and the decades long record of intimidation against people who knew too much about the Clinton activities as chronicled in books by Roger Stone and elsewhere reveal the unfitness for high office of the harpy. She should instead be put on trial for war crimes and for treason, since the war crimes were engaged in to benefit el qaeda factions similar to the one which bombed New York in 2001.
I agree. This is an excellent essay on what has to be done and why those opposed to Brexit are the traitors.
This comment and Mr. Roberts are correct on this issue, though the Harpy’s expression of friendship with those sceptical of police is cynicism by another authoritarian fascist.
Recklessness, cynicism and treason are the concepts which come to mind discussing the neocons and their acolyte, the fascist Harpy. Survival itself is at stake in this election, and survival “trumps’ political correctness.
If, somehow, she cheats her way into office, then as this indicates, the trade deals with corporate arbitration causing a slow deterioration of our living standards, would become the new normalcy. Meanwhile, war would soon be on the horizon, and, as this indicates, “eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die” would be the watchwords of a harpy presidency.
It is obvious that Clinton is cynically manipulating the police murder/racism issue, since she is more authoritarian in attitude than Trump is. Trump, to neutralize the racial issue, should bring up Hillary’s war crimes in Libya, since the overthrow of the Khaddafi regime in Libya which she spearheaded, resulted in a mass murder of Africans Khaddafi had settled in Libya as part of his belief in African unity. It was even recorded at the time on the BBC, before political correctness stuffed it down the memory hole, that the jihadi triumph in Libya was resulting in a mass murder of ethnic Africans as “mercenaries.”
This is the issue which can torch the Harpy’s electoral “firewall.”
It seems like the harpy is the real gop-war monger-fascist in the running. Unless the propaganda firestorm can continue obscuring these facts, she’ll have a hard time getting the enthusiastic support she’ll need, particularly if Trump goes after her based on the real record of Libya, not just the fact the blowback killed the agent shifting yankee arms to Syrian el qaeda thugs. With the new Saudi info from the 9/11 report, it will also be harder for Clinton to demand no-fly zones to protect el qaeda assets in Syria. Trump should also go after the fact that US backed el qaeda assets in Libya committed a mass murder of sub-Saharan Africans Khaddafi had settled there.
I agree that this would be a highly effective strategy and hope Trump’s campaign sees it and implements it.
Actually, unfortunately once the attention had gone elsewhere, it was revealed that the “little guy” was not such an innocent, since he was a long associate of the Clintons, even doing their taxes, and since he was an advocate of the superiority of sharia law to western models, revealing his waving of the constitution to be a phony ploy, particularly since he was making his large income off of the immigration laws he was shilling for in his speech in his argument they are constitutionally mandated. I agree that Trump should have stuck with Hillary’s role in starting the Iraq war rather than critiquing the stereotype Muslim wife put forward to bait Trump, but it the whole exercise was indeed a cynical ploy by the Clinton cabal, and as this guy’s background more fully leaks out, the damage will be certainly reduced. At least Trump was not foolish enough to say the dead son was a hero, not a quisling working for a hostile occupation.
While I agree with your view of the whole affair as noted above, I think it is unfair to characterise Mr. Margolis as a democratic shill, since his earlier writings, and even this one, but to not a great enough extent, are critical of the harpy war criminal.
This is a great article. Morell and the Clinton crowd are acting as totalitarians. One wonders how far they’ll go if they secure untrammeled power. I would say that they are a serious threat to end it all. They are following the well trod path of prior dictatorships, that, once they get away with illegal wars, they keep going until a crack-up. Unfortunately, this time it will be a planetary crack-up and this has to be made clear, but unfortunately, the mainstream press acts according to a ministry of truth-like propaganda template. This is profoundly depressing.
Now that Assange has hinted that the wikileaks leaker was a whistleblower inside the democratic party and that that individual was himself probably liquidated, presumably for having done the leak, the whole redbaiting anti-Russia thing looks threadbare. Meanwhile, the elephant in the room mentioned of racial identities could itself be fractured if the Libya war crime spearheaded by Clinton can be exploited. After all, as Danny Haiphong indicated in this week’s Black agenda report (blackagendareport.com) the Jihadis sponsored by the harpy and others committed a mass murder of Africans Khaddafi had settled in Sirte, Libya after they seized that city.
Even the contrived fracas about Trump’s statement regarding the 2nd amendment brings out an earlier statement made by the Harpy in 2008 that she was staying in the race until the convention after Obama had defeated her in case there was a “Robert Kennedy” moment. This was a veiled direct reference to assassination, not some ambiguous statement regarding the right to bear arms. If the media were not fully in the bag as a “ministry of truth” for the Clintons, her campaign would implode.
I fully concur with you and Mr. Roberts. I don’t see any legitimacy remaining.
If the lamestream media were not fully in the bag for the harpy, questions would be being asked about the mysterious death of the man whom Assange says was the leaker to wikileaks of the Democratic National Committee emails. Others have noted that several other people have died mysteriously during the last few weeks including a UN figure who died from a suspicous home weightlifting accident and an anti-Clinton researcher who unexpectedly committed “suicide.”
The Libya thing is still on record as a war crime and the fact is indisputable that Clinton was the spearhead who convinced Obama, who has indicated it was against his better judgment, to carry through on the overthrow. Meanwhile, we have on record Clinton’s barbaric gloat, “we came, we saw, he died” with a horror movie type cackle. Also on record is the fact that the jihadi element Clinton sponsored in the overthrow effort committed a crime against humanity, a mass liquidation of Sub-saharan Africans Khaddafi had settled in the city of Sirte in the wake of their seizure of that city. It has been documented again in an article in this week’s blackagendareport by their regular reporter, Danny Haiphong.
Of course Trump is accused based on an ambiguous off-the-cuff comment he made about 2nd amendment rights that he suggested violence against the harpy. The media’s cashing in on this issues makes relevant the harpy’s own statement in July, 2008 when she had been beaten by Obama but before the convention which would confirm that defeat, that she was staying in the race in case a “Robert Kennedy” incident occurs. This is a much more unambiguous statement which could be construed as hoping for something favorable. Her status as a major party candidate is a disgrace, particularly now that the wikileaks disclosures have revealed the fraud engaged in to secure it. Sanders, meanwhile, appears craven in light of these new disclosures. If she triumphs, the last shreds of legitimacy will be gone from the yankee imperium.
This is the crux of the campaign: the Clintons’ lunacy threaten our survival. The latest gin up of anti-Russianism to distract attention from the fact the wikileaks proved that the harpy had gained her nomination by fraud is frightening in its implications. Survival “trumps’ political correctness every time.
The Harpy already has her “sister Souljah” moment: that is her spearheading of the overthrow of the Khaddafi regime in Libya. The Jihadis she sponsored committed a mass murder of ethnic sub-Saharan Africans in Sirte, Libya, in the wake of their takeover of that city. This was reported at the time by the BBC and noted again this week in a report by respected blackagendareport.com reporter Danny Haiphong this week. Since the Green party’s Ajamu Baraka is associated with the Black agenda report, it is likely that this will become a campaign issue even if Trump thinks it is too radioactive to mention. What is shows is that, like everything else about them, the Clintons’ racial concern is phony. They have a crime against humanity on their slate, just like the fact that their foundation has gotten multi-millions from Saudi sources reveals the fraudulent nature of her “feminism”.
As this documents, the yankee mainstream press has degenerated into a “ministry of truth” in this campaign. This further undermines the legitmacy of the yankee regime, and, should Trump, despite the propaganda wall erected against him manage to prevail, I don’t know what the result may be.
The Clinton-Obama destruction of the Khaddafi regime and the movement of Libyan weapons to Isis terrorists by the triumphant jihadi element in Libya consolidated ISIS into a dominant element. Thus, Trump’s statement about the harpy and Obama are technically correct and can’t really be refuted. The death of the ambassador-coordinator of the arms shipments, Stevens, can be ascribed to blowback from this effort. Trump should continue to make this statement since, although the propagandists will continue to laugh, the essential truth of the statement becomes more convincing the more this becomes a campaign issue.
Accusing Trump of fascism is a sort of projection by the harpy’s entourage; as this shows, the real fascists are in her corner masquerading as “progressives.” The “USA” chants reveal the true nature of the situation. Cornel West, of course, is a decent man and it is for that reason he has come out for Stein, and recognizes the corrupt militaristic nature of the Clinton state. Her regime is a threat to the survival of civilization. Survival trumps political correctness.
I’m pleased to see this, even though I still think it is useful to vote for Stein in states Trump is unlikely to carry (the opposite of the Chomsky view) because it would be better in the long run for a stronger left alternative. I agree that the Harpy is a fascist fraud and a threat to survival, and that Trump’s positions are actually to the left of hers in the key areas of “trade” (actually sovereignty versus corporate control) and militarism. Her record of corruption should be enough to preclude her winning. Only the fact the media are acting as a “ministry of truth” portraying Trump as a lunatic or clown is keeping her in the lead. Phony posturing by quisling Muslim lawyers also helped. It is significant that a known progressive such as Zuesse has come out for reality in this instance. We’ll see if things are too far gone for the harpy to be stopped. I think quite a few won’t actually admit they’re for Trump because of the political correctness and extent of propaganda power on behalf of the Clintons. She is a known fraud and the dynasty was a hostile takeover of the democratic party which must be reversed. In my view, survival “trumps” political correctness, and I can see that many of Trump’s problems are based on the fact he is not really a right winger.
I agree with this and the Mercer comment. This is the real reality. The TV and print media are acting as a “ministry of truth” putting out propaganda trying to humanize a proven war criminal. I also notice that Blackagendareport is the only place we now find reports discussing the mass murder of Africans in Libya by the jihadi element the harpy enabled to seize power there. This is a crime against humanity which, therefore, she bears responsibility for.
Though it is traditional for candidates to release their tax statements, the fact the IRS is presently sending their proctologists through Trump’s affairs, as is indicated, provides a reasonable excuse for him to refrain from disclosure in this case. It is obvious that, up to now, the IRS and the regime is in the bag for the Clintons. Here’s hoping that this changes on January 20. A freed IRS would probably go through the unprecedented corruption of the Clinton Foundation with a fine-toothed comb.
The media is acting as a quasi-official “ministry of truth” in this campaign, so every Trump statement is misconstrued. He is accused when he makes an ambiguous statement in favor of gun rights of demanding an assassination, while the ‘ministry of truth” forgets that the Harpy herself mentioned assassination directly in 2008 as the reason for staying in the race after she had been defeated by Obama. The “trade” issue, which is really sovereignty and the continuation of a rule of law based system, is another big one. The harpy’s campaign cannot be trusted, since the Clinton dynasty is the one which developed this new model replacing the rule of law in economic matters with bought corporate tribunals.
The Russia issue involves survival itself. As the author has indicated, we survived the Cold War for 40 years because we recognized the nuclear threat. The “success” of Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and the ability through the banking system to make former allies into satellites has created a hubris in the imperialist element which is a threat to our survival. The Clintons started it with the destruction of Yugoslavia, enabling a regime based on organ thieves to take over in Kosovo so long as they allowed the construction of a huge new yankee military base. Biden even felt the need to apologize to Serbia for the ’99 bombings there last week.
The Libya thing, meanwhile, is perhaps even more appalling as Buchanan has indicated. The ambassador, who was working with jihadi elements to shift former Khaddafi regime weaponry to el qaeda elements in Syria when factional strife lead to his murder as blowback.
While I don’t go in for extreme conspiracy theories, the article is convincing, and, if the Clintons cause WWIII, the survivors will apportion blame in a manner which resurrects prejudices which had been presumed buried by WWII events.
This is an excellent corrective to those who blindly believe the establishment’s propaganda on this issue. Communism, the USSR, etc. are no longer valid reasons for Russophobe propaganda. This “democratic party” campaign based on anti-Russianism is dangerous because it is easy to see how it ends in the threat of nuclear war. It seems that too many former skeptics of US war making are willing to accept any pile of excrement put forward as the “Democratic” candidate. In light of the indisputable facts put forward here, anybody still willing to vote for the harpy is recklessly putting our futures at risk.
It’s frightening, but probably true. I suspect, however, that the desire for party power will neutralize to some extent the GOP apparatchiks, and the machines will not be tweaked as much as Mr. Roberts thinks. I also suspect that the Demo vote will tank because she is so loathsome that turnout will diminish far below polling models based on prior years.
While I think Dr. Paul’s anti-militarist positions are heroic, I think the problem with Obamacare is that it puts government coercion behind corrupt private interests. I agree with mcs in ny’s view that the Social Contract requires some sort of public provision of health care as part of the incidents of civilization. This is the case in every other “western” country, though this provision is in danger based on the neoliberal dogma now being put forward particularly by the yankee imperium.
Buchanan’s view of the situation is the correct one. Those favouring the yankee regime position or favouring it to the extent they back yankee support of those they would otherwise label as terrorists or some politically incorrect epithet are actually favouring those who would liquidate or exile Shia and Christians from Syria. If the harpy gets in and manages to overthrow the Assad regime, she will be responsible for the massacres which occur; this will be another count of war crimes to attach to her record of barbarism based on her position as the spearhead to the yankee-led overthrow of Khaddafi and the complex of crimes that included.
Kaepernick has shown that he has maximal cojones by standing up to the yankee establishment as a major Football player. His statement is accurate. You only have to look at “killedbypolice.net” for documentation that hundreds of black men (and others) are offed by the filth each year, 50 or more times more than in any other country. This qualifies as an epidemic; the liquidation of a friend of mine by police thugs who each had two prior murders on their slate way back in the early 90s was one of the major steps leading to my opting for residency in my dual nationality country years later when that option became available. As for those who claim Kaeperlink is exercising his privileged status, I think he is putting it seriously at risk. The soft fascist regime making up the yankee imperium will ensure that he loses his privileges.
While I don’t accept the theories that US authorities blew up the buildings (except the undamaged one, probably, I don’t accept the official story either. My theory is that they had an inkling what was to occur, couldn’t believe it could succeed, but were ready to use it as a Reichstag fire incident if it did. The anthrax thing looks more unambiguously like a government conspiracy.
The Israelis learned their false flag lesson from the Nazis, who used concentration camp inmates dressed as Polish soldiers as part of a phony attack on the frontier radio station “Sender Gleiwitz” a day or so before they invaded Poland.
I didn’t notice Gleiwitz was mentioned in another posting before I mentioned it. I tend go along with you and suspect incompetence rather than purpose was the cause of the Pearl Harbor disaster, though the incompetence may have included failure to adequately warn those on the ground at Pearl Harbor. Personally, I don’t back the “truther” version of the twin towers because that would have required a broader conspiracy than I think could have succeeded. My guess is that the neighboring building was destroyed as part of the cleanup effort. I do think, however, that the authorities knew something was up, didn’t believe it could ever succeed and used it as a sort of Reichstag Fire incident to brush aside constitutional democracy in the US. I also suspect that the Mossad knew more than they let on. My guess is that if Gore rather than Bush had been in power that history would have been far different. I suspect that the anthrax thing was more likely started by the yankee regime as a home-grown conspiracy.
Joe Lieberman was Gore's running mate.
My guess is that if Gore rather than Bush had been in power that history would have been far different.
While holding the chair of the “Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs,” Lieberman introduced on October 11, 2001, Senate Bill 1534, to establish the US Department of Homeland Security.
Anticipating the bill’s certain passage, Lieberman gave himself automatic chairmanship after he changed the name of his committee to, “The Senate Committee of Homeland Security and Government Affairs.”
Since then, Lieberman has been the main force behind legislation such as:
-1- The USA Patriot Act
-2- Protect America Act
-3- National Emergency Centers Establishment Act
-4- The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation Act
-5- The Terrorist Expatriation Act, and the proposed
-6- Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act.
Why would you think that? Gore is as much (if not more) a tool of the Zionist as Bush & Cheney, and all the rest, including Trump.
My guess is that if Gore rather than Bush had been in power that history would have been far different.
With this latest Russia demonisation it is time for leftists following the politically correct view of Trump being the buffoon, etc. to straighten up and recognize that the harpy is the real threat to our survival. Chomsky should change his view and it is also time for Sanders to move from grovelling to thinking about survival and who the real threat is. I am also sick and tired of the politically correct disclaimers made by leftist commentators who recognize the corruption and existential threat presented by the Clintons, who, after all, constituted a hostile takeover of the Democratic party in the 1990s. She is a war criminal based on Libya, and her racial chops are fraudulent. After all, the jihadi element she supported in Libya committed a mass murder of ethnic Africans Khaddafi had settled there as “mercenaries” when they took over. Her blaming Russia while the actual guy who likely leaked the DNC documents died mysteriously reminds me of the actions of spectre in bad James Bond novels. She has gone beyond evil, and can’t even seem to function, as the latest coughing fits discussed indicate.
The “trade” agreements constitute treason, giving away sovereignty to corporate arbitration tribunals. The harpy’s bellicosity towards Russia (no longer the Communist empire) on behalf of Islamic barbarians destroying the civilized element in the middle east is beyond evil. Trump, with his faults, is preferable to the treason, militarism, corruption and barbarism personified by a restoration of the Clinton regime.
As for watergate, somebody should mention again that she was fired from her post as a legal advisor to the congressional impeachment committee because of her refusal to adhere to the rule of law and legal ethics. Her superior gave her the sack in this instance and, for some reason, this has gone down the memory hole. The loathsomeness of her record is almost without parallel.
I am lucky enough to have gone to university 40 years ago before the political correctness incubus was a serious issue. It was also free at that time. It is unfortunate for the people born too late to have benefited from these factors.
At one time I was critical of Mr. Buchanan, though his foreign policy views starting with his presidential run in ’92 seemed much more rational than the received wisdom. A few comments on this great column: Clinton’s statement comparing his corrupt slush fund foundation to actions of “Robin Hood” reminds me of WC Fields in the film “Poppy” where he tells his beautiful daughter that he is robbing from the rich to give to the poor. “Which Poor?” she says. “Us poor” he answers.
This is the Clintons to a “T”. Meanwhile, Clinton’s lackeys are describing Trump as a racist, but Trump, so far, hasn’t even mentioned a major war crime which occurred in Libya which has been mentioned again recently, for example, in Danny Haiphong’s reports on blackagendareport, a website associated with Green party VP choice Ajamu Baraka, commentator Glen Ford and others.
This was the mass murder in the Libyan city of Sirte of black Africans whom Khaddafi had allowed to settle in Libya as part of his belief in African unity. This crime against humanity can be directly ascribed to Hillary Clinton since emails from her crony and unofficial advisor Sidney Blumenthal reveal that she knew that the likely result of the intervention she was spearheading in Libya would be instability and seizure of the country by Jihadi elements.
As for the Putin McCarthyism thing, this is far more threatening than the original McCarthyism, since there is no ideological basis for the Putin demonisation and the end result should she secure victory will be to create a serious threat of war with a nuclear opponent. In any event, this politically correct personality cult demonisation itself is quintessential “soft totalitarianism”. I agree with Mr. Buchanan that her campaign seems to be tanking at least to some extent. Can we really believe that historically antiwar people, who primarily have been active in Democratic politics in the past, can go against their own principles to the extent of voting for this dangerous war mongering harpy who is using fascist-type appeals?
Since the polling models of likely voters are often based on prior year turnout models, I suspect that they may be skewed in her favor, since many loyal Democrats will find her plate of excrement to steamy too consume. She is, after all, an unindicted war criminal and an unindicted fraudster. She also has violated national security statutes which, though they have been abused by the Obama regime otherwise the authorities in this instance decided to turn a blind eye, since she is the anointed successor, sort of like a PRI party choice used to be in one party Mexico.
This “leftist” supports Trump over the harpy because she is the obvious fascist, as exemplified by her claims that those who don’t support her are disloyal. The characterisation of Hillary as a “yankee” by that definition is good. The fact is, her know-it-all entitlement is singularly unattractive and does not fit with those who used to vote Democratic. This election will be a test of character for how far people will go to support a label. Her candidacy represents war crimes, neoliberalism and fascism and she does not have the charisma to pull it off either.

Clinton: Half of Trump’s supporters fit in ‘basket of deplorables’
Washington Post By Abby Phillip September 9
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton described half of the Americans supporting Donald Trump as a “basket of deplorables” made up of “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” people.
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the 'basket of deplorables'. Right?” Clinton said to applause and laughter from the crowd of supporters at an LGBT for Hillary fundraiser where Barbra Streisand performed. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”
“And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up,” she added.
“
Clinton said that it was unfortunate that Trump had given them a voice, citing “offensive mean-spirited rhetoric” on websites and Twitter.
“Some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America,” she said.
What is scary is the apparent lust by the harpy’s crowd to bring back the cold war despite Russia’s non-ideological stance. As is indicated by Mr. Buchanan here, the Russian actions in the Ukraine amount to defending Russian sovereignty against a hostile coup takeover of a friendly state. What is really frightening is the name-calling and propaganda which seems to be ginning up a nuclear war. What is deplorable aren’t the “deplorables” but former “progressives” who have drunk the harpy’s kool-aid and support her Jack D. Ripper type of foreign policy which is a threat to our survival.
The fact that Trump indicates he picked up on the “birtherism” from Hillary’s cronies Sidney Blumenthal and others is a bigger issue than whether he originally accepted the tenets of the viewpoint. The salient fact should become that the Clintons were so intent on power that they picked up any issue, including whether Obama was born in Kenya, to gain power. This is of a piece with the Clintons’ mad dash for power despite evidence they are covering up that she has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for some long while and is, therefore, incapable of effectively exercising the absolute power she seeks.
Come on. That's just dumb. Trump promoted birtherism for years and until just now refused to disavow it.Replies: @iSteveFan, @Shine a Light, @Jus' Sayin'..., @Clyde
The fact that Trump indicates he picked up on the “birtherism” from Hillary’s cronies Sidney Blumenthal and others is a bigger issue than whether he originally accepted the tenets of the viewpoint.
This is it in a nutshell. The fact that the Clintons originally ran with the ball is also the key fact. It is also interesting that birtherism was irrelevant in the case of Ted Cruz, born of an American mother but definitely in Calgary, Alberta, still not officially part of the yankee imperium.
While only tangentially on the subject, it is interesting to me that the Dornsife LA Times USC poll, which consistently shows Trump ahead, uses anonymity in its methodology. This probably explains its “pro Trump bias”. At present, it is showing a 7-6 Trump lead, which would translate into a Dukakis-like defeat of the Harpy. It is also interesting that the exit polls in the Berlin “Land” election in Germany showed AfD (Alternativ fuer Deutschland) a nationalist-populist anti-establishment party at 11% in the election for the provincial (also city) legislature. The actual results which came out showed a 14% vote for the populists, indicating a similar reluctance to own up to pollsters that one is supporting the populist choice. The other party which gained in the result was the Linke (post Communists or non-sellout socialists) who take an anti-US anti establishment position.
More locally, I suspect that the turn-out models used by pollsters, based on 2012 where Obama was the candidate, are predicting a greater turnout among blacks than will likely occur with the harpy, who is now the proven originator of the “birther” movement through her crony Sid Blumenthal, as the candidate.
She is toast unless Trump makes some extraordinarily serious unforced error, something which does not seem as likely at the moment.
The Clintons’ record of corruption including their foundation slush fund and the 10s of millions for giving speeches to corporate groups dwarf anything Trump can be accused of. Considering Clinton’s record in the destruction of Libya, one has to ask if being a war criminal should not be enough to disqualify that person from political office. Anybody who votes for her in light of those facts soils themselves with those crimes.
The yankee policy of threatening war with Russia which could go nuclear effectively on behalf of el qaeda thugs (whether or not they were in fact responsible for 9/11, which they probably were even if it was allowed to happen to create a Reichstag type pretext) is not only criminal but stupid. Historians who survive the resulting nuclear holocaust will have to determine what kind of regime engages in nuclear suicide for barbaric thugs.
One loose end is in Sirte, Libya, where the jihadi thugs sponsored by the harpy in her overthrow of Libya committed a mass murder on Africans Khaddafi had settled there as “mercenaries” when they seized the city. In general, Benghazi really represents the war crime Hillary is guilty of, spearheading the Libya destabilization. After all, even Obama has admitted that this was his greatest error. If Trump wins, perhaps he won’t take Obama’s position that war crimes should be forgotten about as we go forward.
Trump’s statement in response to the official media propagandist’s twist of reality on Aleppo shows why he needs to get in to assure our survival. The Clintons and the establishment seem bent on nuclear war on behalf of el qaeda, which is not only criminal and suicidal but stupid and treasonous.
It has really degenerated into the candidate of life running against the uniparty’s candidate of death, threatening nuclear war on behalf of el qaeda. This is a non-issue and indications are that the tape was actually released by the GOP faction opposed to Trump to set up the planned stab in the back. His debate performance derailed it, but the presstitutes and the official structure, like the 21st century version of fascism it embodies, carries on. Anyone who can back the harpy is themself responsible for the crimes she will commit. With her record of criminality and corruption being exposed daily by wikileaks releases (not covered much by the official pravda press) how can anybody retain any self-respect who supports her? Trump’s failings simply don’t measure up against the proven venality, gangsterism, and mad desire for power exhibited by the Clinton cabal, which effected a hostile takeover of the democratic party in 1992 and is seeking to do the same thing, with fatal results, of the yankee imperium.
The Snowden thing and the acceptance of sanctions and the mainstream media acceptance throughout the entire western world of the propaganda memes against Russia reveals that the structure has left the rule of law and decency behind and has degenerated into a 21st century version of corrupt power mad fascism. With all of the nukes in existence, we had better eat drink and be merry because our time is not long.
“Liberalism” as embodied by the Clintons is the 21st century version of fascism. It is fraudulent, as the author indicates without fully discussing it, to call this liberalism. The reason GOP quislings favour Clinton is that she embodies the establishment conservative militarism dominant in the yankee imperialism, though as the author indicates, it masquerades as “liberalism. ” The Khaddafi thing was the war crime which broke up the middle east via the sluicing of Libyan weapons to el qaeda thugs in Syria. It is not only criminal, but stupid, that the yankee imperium appears to contemplate World War III with Russia in defence of those they would otherwise describe as ragheads if they weren’t “our” ragheads. That reveals the moral and political bankruptcy of the yankee ruling class.
Sanders has revealed himself as a grovelling disgrace, particularly after the evidence which has emerged from wikileaks and elsewhere that he was cheated by the power structure of his nomination. There are even indications that he made a deal knowing it was fixed. As for Mr. Buchanan, though I started my adulthood disliking him as an acolyte of Nixon, he has worn well and his foreign policy views have revealed themselves to be accurate. Nixon, though he was guilty of the major crime of keeping the Viet Nam war going, was correct in his openness to China and his detente with the Soviet Union. Imperialism is inimical to any sort of republic, and the yankee imperium has degenerated into the soft fascism discussed by political thinker Sheldon Wolin, who came up with the best description of the 21st century yankee state which I have seen.
I concur with the view of Mr. Cronk above. I further state that the Trump disclaimers reveal the extent to which the “inverted” or “soft” fascism have infected even serious critiques of the imperium.
Our press does not work like that anymore, Mr. Buchanan.Replies: @Exiled off mainstreet
And, with the election over, the investigative reporters of the adversary press, Pulitzers beckoning, would be cut loose to go after her.
While I agree again with Mr. Buchanan’s excellent commentary, I also have to concur with the first critical response and point out that if she gets in it will be because the presstitute media has studiously avoided all of these issues. The question will be whether internet sources and the total discrediting of the corporate parasite media can create the climate necessary to go after the obvious criminal behaviour she represents.
This is an excellent column stating facts needed to be clearly stated. Too bad Mr. Buchanan’s views are not given more credence by the lamestream establishment. It is obvious to any sentient person looking at the evidence that the major reason for the secret email servers was to facilitate the pay for play corruption emanating from the US foreign office under Clinton. In light of Weiner’s record and suspicions involving the harpy’s relationship with whom some suspect is her real main squeeze, there may be significant bombs hidden on Huma’s server. One can suspect that all of the emails cleaned up by the erasing software may still be there on Weiner’s servers, since the Harpy sometimes seems amateurish about her corruption if she thinks she is invulnerable. If she gets in, we can already see how the “official” investigation will go, since Podesta’s lawyer is the man designated by the US justice department to run the investigation. The stench of corruption is unprecedented, as is the level of war crimes which the harpy committed spearheading the Libyan overthrow. Her demands for challenging Russia in Syria in support of the el qaeda thugs armed from her Libyan enterprise is probably the biggest threat to the survival of civilization ever posed by the yankee imperium. One has to wonder if, as Mr. Buchanan predicts, the Clintons are under the gun of another special prosecutor, they will opt for the national suicide of engaging in a nuclear war.
I agree that Comey should have exposed whatever he has on her and probably resigned back in July. I agree with your characterisation that he is trying to have it both ways. He is not a patriot but is attempting to salvage what he can of his reputation, though that train left the station when he did his soft shoe in stating why the harpy wouldn’t be prosecuted. I disagree with your contention that the evidence is lacking of Clinton Foundation corruption. That corruption has been totally exposed by wikileaks and other exposes over the past couple of years and sets a historical standard which has scarcely ever been attained by any other person or cabal. If this involved anybody but a Clinton, they would be rattling cages. I think the dynasty bit the Clintons represent was a hostile takeover which totally destroyed the Democratic party. Its reverberations, Blair, Hollande and others, have destroyed the traditional left parties in Britain, Germany, France and elsewhere, reducing them to quisling sellouts. It had the same effect on media. The arch-Tory Daily Mail has more accurate coverage of the yankee election than any printed English language newspaper. Meanwhile, in what used to be referred to as western countries, only new populist based leftist parties retain any legitimacy, or in other instances including the US, the populist elements which have started new parties or taken control of existing rightist parties which are actually taking positions to the left of the neoliberalized establishment sell-outs. This is what Trump represents and why my support for him does not contradict my traditional left position.
As far as the Clintons are concerned, they are so corrupt, evil and dangerous that they must be destroyed if the rule of law is to be restored. As such, I welcome Comey’s wheeze, even if his motives were less than pure.
A lot of non-University educated whites stayed home because Romney was such a poor candidate. Trump is a stronger candidate and the harpy is a weaker one. If she does as well as Obama did it will be the result of fraud, the fact that the media has congealed into a fascist-like propaganda combination, or a combination of these two factors. Meanwhile, some evidence indicates that educated types sometimes do not reveal to pollsters their preference for Trump because it is politically incorrect or damaging to their professional status, so the polling figures may be skewed somewhat. I would also expect a much lower black turnout for somebody carrying the harpy’s baggage. We’ll see what happens, but I suspect that the gist of the headline of the reprinted 2013 article really is that if the white vote increases as a proportion of the total, which it should, things may not follow the predicted polling model, which is based on 2012 turnout tweaked somewhat to favour the pollsters’ predilections since they are part of the same media combine which is fully in the bag for the harpy.
This may be account for a few % but the magnitude of the shift is such that it doesn't make a big difference. Romney won college-educated whites by 14%, Trump is losing them (according to polls) by 7%. Even if the actual figure is a loss of 2% or so it's still a large shift.

I fully concur with the view expressed by Cwhatfuture about the harpy, her character and qualifications. I saw through her in 2008 and it was the main reason I supported Obama in the primary: that he wasn’t her. The Clintons effected a hostile takeover of the democratic party and made it into a corrupt fascist neolib neocon travesty of the public interest. They perfectly fit the concept of enemies of the people. Their record is tawdry, odious, criminal and sordid. I think this FBI two-step only reveals to all the corrupt nature of the yankee state and eliminates the last shreds of legitimacy appertaining thereto.
Anybody who, despite all of the evidence available, gives their vote to this useless piece of humanity carries her taint. That is why there is so much discord between those who will vote for any sack of shit labelled “democrat” and those who no longer can swallow the evil broth the Clintons represent. Let’s examine her competency and character: Despite her Yale Law School status she flunked the bar in DC. She left her position as one of the lawyers helping the Nixon congressional impeachment committee under a cloud. The need to win at all costs has been the hallmark of her entire odious career. The knowledge of this central fact makes any and all accusations against her credible even if they prove false. Indeed, she has the same qualifications and moral stature as another first lady turned president, Imelda Marcos, who had better taste in shoes than does the harpy.
I think Nixon probably would have lied under oath, except that as I recall he never was put under oath. The bigger issue in any event is not the state secrets issue, though she obviously violated that statute. In my view, the bigger issue is that she set up the server to cover up crimes being committed: her use of the foreign secretary position to obtain major foreign government and individual contributions to her foundation, a sort of massive slush fund pay to play which was unprecedented in scope. This major fraud issue actually dwarfs the national security issue, though that one is easier to prove, since no proof of intent is even required.
I agree. I think they threatened to trump up some charges against him and he decided to do an el foldo. I don’t think it will have a major effect since this fact is apparent. I also think that FBI agents have full knowledge of the corruption of the Clinton operations, and, if somehow she is defeated, this will all be exposed. This is the best reason to hope that a miracle occurs and she is defeated, which I think is even fairly likely unless the voting machines are fixed. Those who vote for her having knowledge of the facts are themselves tainted. Her running adverts accusing Trump of being a threat of nuclear war are particularly cynical considering that her Syria policy presents the biggest threat of nuclear war in history. If she wins, we should eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we’re likely to all die.
Hillary’s advert accusing Trump of being dangerous is outrageous projection considering that her plan involves fighting Russia on behalf of el qaeda, a sort of treason to civilization. We can probably easily survive Trump, but Clinton is a literal spin of the barrel which could result in nuclear armageddon. My guess is that Trump can be set straight about Iran while Clinton is a megalomaniac who thinks she can do what Bonaparte and Hitler failed to do: take down Russia. Trump recognizes that Russia is really part of western civilization where the harpy is a threat to it based on the millions of middle eastern refugees the destabilisations she spearheaded have brought into Europe.
The Libya thing is the harpy’s greatest crime. She should be held legally accountable for it.

What we do know is that people like me, and probably like most readers of The New York Times, truly didn’t understand the country we live in. We thought that our fellow citizens would not, in the end, vote for a candidate so manifestly unqualified for high office, so temperamentally unsound, so scary yet ludicrous.
We thought that the nation, while far from having transcended racial prejudice and misogyny, had become vastly more open and tolerant over time.
We thought that the great majority of Americans valued democratic norms and the rule of law.
It turns out that we were wrong. There turn out to be a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy. And there were many other people who might not share those anti-democratic values, but who nonetheless were willing to vote for anyone bearing the Republican label.
I don’t know how we go forward from here. Is America a failed state and society? It looks truly possible.
An acolyte of the deep state and the harpy extolling the rule of law like Krugman does is either naive, cynical or both. Excellent work Mr. Buchanan at creating a movement which hopefully has finally halted the suicidal path the yankee imperium has been following the last 30 years. I am breathing much easier now.
In a better world, the Harpy’s Libya effort would be a stepping stone to a war crimes trial. It now looks like Assange was too pessimistic. The wikileaks did help bring her down. Those who voted for her out of partisan loyalty knowing her odious record share some of her opprobrium.
