COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

  1. HILLARY WAS DODGING BULLETS AS HER HELICOPTER LANDED ON THE MARITIME MUSEUM PAD NEAR THE TWIN TOWERS SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND PLANE HIT ON 911. ONLY HER FLAK JACKET SAVED HER AS SHE LED THE RESCUE TEAM

    Campaigning in Florida on Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed that she was in New York City on 9/11, when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center. She made her claim while discussing terrorism and the threat posed by ISIS.

    “I know what happened not far from here at Pulse night club in Orlando,” she said. “I was in New York City on 9/11 as one of the two senators. I will defeat ISIS. I will protect America.”


    But Clinton wasn’t in New York on 9/11, according to Politico.


    As a United States Senator she was in Washington D.C. at her home in Whitehaven when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. She spent most of the day reacting to the attacks in media interviews and joined her colleagues singing “God Bless America” on the Capitol Hill steps.

    Clinton flew to New York on September 12, after making a speech on the Senate Floor in the morning. She traveled with her fellow New York Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel.

    Clinton toured the disaster site with New York mayor Rudy Giuliani before leaving the city that evening to travel back to Capitol Hill.

  3. WATM REGARDS TO BILL FROM FBI

    Days after the groundbreaking news that the FBI would be reopening an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email servers, they have followed up with a release of a trove of documents regarding Bill Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich in 2001.

    The FBI released 129 pages of documents Monday that relate to former President Bill Clinton’s pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich over 15 years ago. Rich’s marriage to a Democratic donor launched an FBI investigation into the pardon, but it was closed without charges in 2005.

    The FBI announced the release on its FBI Records Vault on Tuesday morning. The vault is where all Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests are released, but the timing is still questionable to many bipartisan lawmakers, such as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who wrote a letter to FBI Director James Comey, questioning the need to notify Congress about the newly discovered emails.

    The FBI has yet to offer an explanation on why they publicized the release on Twitter. However, a law enforcement official told Bloomberg that it was the result of the FBI completing a FOIA request.

    The Clinton campaign remains skeptical with spokesman Brian Fallon taking to Twitter to express his concerns.Marc Rich was indicted in 1983 on federal charges of tax evasion and making illegal deals with Iran during an embargo. Rich responded to the charges by fleeing to Switzerland, where he remained until he was pardoned by Bill Clinton in the last hours of his presidency in January 2001.

    The pardon was controversial, as Rich’s ex-wife, Denise, had made donations exceeding $1 million to the Democratic Party, including a $450,000 donation to the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park.

    Almost immediately after the pardon, the ex-president faced accusations that the pardon had been purchased in a quid-pro-quo move. Even his staunchest supporters struggled to defend it. Former President Jimmy Carter believed the last-minute pardon was “one of his most serious mistakes in the way he handled the pardon situation the last few hours he was in office," he told CBS News.

    The notoriously genteel Carter went so far as to say, "I don't think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful."

  5. Iraqi forces have battled Islamic State fighters on the eastern edge of Mosul, as the campaign to recapture the jihadists' last main bastion in Iraq entered a new phase of urban warfare.

    ...

    IS militants have been fighting off the offensive with suicide car bombs, snipers and mortar fire.

    The United Nations has also raised concerns over the group's "scorched earth tactics" and said tens of thousands of civilians transported to the stronghold over the weekend are now at risk of being used as human shields.

    ...

    Mosul, still home to 1.5 million people, is many times bigger than any other city held by IS in Iraq or Syria.

    Its recapture would mark the collapse of the Iraqi wing of the caliphate which it declared in parts of both countries two years ago, although the hardline Sunni militants have recovered from other setbacks in Iraq.

    If only I knew ye, Herman Melville!
    By R. Stephen Bowden

    We've reached the Herman Melville stage of the Clinton saga. The whale has been harpooned. Now, wounded and enraged, she threatens to drag the boat and everyone else into the sea. High drama. The scene is riveting. Novel material. And made for the stage. David Mamet, where are you?

    Popcorn, anyone?

    The NYPD and investigators from a different division of the FBI (i.e., not the same agents who were put under a gag order about Clinton's emails) cracked into the Weiner's laptop expecting to find kiddie porn. Instead, they hit the motherload of emails relating to Huma and Hillary. You may rest assured they looked at many of those 650,000 emails with a curious eye. Quite the treasure trove. This occurred weeks ago. Thousands of those emails apparently originated from the clinton.com email server. Is that what Giuliani referenced last week when he mentioned an incoming bombshell? Who knows?


    Expect the leaks to continue. The wounded whale now thrashes wildly in the water. Other harpoons soon will be thrown. The beast is vulnerable. Yet the battle is fierce. Usurpers are wise never to wound the queen.

    One thing for sure is that the FBI will be busy over the next few weeks.

    I'm not a voyeur of other people's personal problems. Schadenfreude notwithstanding, private emails should remain private, no matter how scintillating. I do have a problem, however, with public servants such as the Clintons and Obamas, who will tell you they are nothing if not transparent yet not allow public information to be public.

    You may rest assured that Obama doesn't want this latest revelation going anywhere near public disclosure. He's in the thick of this. Don't doubt it. Trump is his worst nightmare. And Clinton's nightmare, too. Actually, Trump is not so much the threat as the apotheosis of it. The American people are the real threat. They are disgusted. They have serious questions. And they vote. This time, massively. Their monster vote is but days away.

    Hear the crickets? The Republicans have remained silent. I don't blame them. You can't write a more destructive script than what the Clintonites have written for themselves. Why interfere? For once, corporate media agrees with them. The Clintons have drawn enough rope to hang themselves. Best to stand aside and let justice – or fate – take its course.

    The next week will be historic.

    Butter for your popcorn?

  14. Philip Haney, a former DHS subject matter expert on Islam, says Hillary Clinton’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are “broader and deeper” than Abedin’s, citing, for example, Clinton’s leadership promoting a U.N. resolution favored by the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Conference, which is run by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    ...

    “By endorsing U.N. Resolution 1618, by default Hillary Clinton is aiding and abetting the Muslim Brotherhood, on a macro, global level,” Haney says in the documentary.

    ...

    Haney concludes: “As a sworn law enforcement officer who took a vow to protect our country from threats both foreign and domestic, Hillary Clinton is a domestic threat.”
