She'd better get herself one of those flak jackets, pronto. <br /><br />How timely, just when Mueller is charging people with money laundering. Poor Hillary will probably be seeing a lot more of Dr. Chardonnay now. I hope she doesn't fall again. <br /><br />'Inside Hillary Clinton's Secret Takeover of the DNC' <br /><br />https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774<br /><br />Looking forward to Karen's take on this!Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-77310383851682724862017-10-31T16:24:31.851-04:002017-10-31T16:24:31.851-04:00Exactly so, 'tis total war, and like Warren Bu...<br />Exactly so, 'tis total war, and like Warren Buffett said, "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." <br /><br />One reason for that Wendell Berry identifies:<br />“We Americans are not usually thought to be a submissive people, but of course we are. Why else would we allow our country to be destroyed? Why else would we be rewarding its destroyers? Why else would we all — by proxies we have given to greedy corporations and corrupt politicians — be participating in its destruction? Most of us are still too sane to piss in our own cistern, but we allow others to do so and we reward them for it. We reward them so well, in fact, that those who piss in our cistern are wealthier than the rest of us.<br />How do we submit? By not being radical enough. Or by not being thorough enough, which is the same thing.” <br /><br />And, as Ms. Garcia has so well articulated many times, at fostering the ruling oligarchy, and expanding the American empire, both political parties are essentially in collusion.<br /><br />The radical direction that must be taken to achieve the change we need is not coming from either party.<br />Of course the Republicans are blatantly beholding to the plutocrats and the prejudiced.<br />But the Democrats have effectively quashed all attempts to reform and promote any substantive alternative. <br />The two senators from my state, Minnesota, epitomize the problem we face.<br />They each represent the Clinton-controlled establishment, despite obvious rejection of that by the electorate, whether by the idiotic anarchist Trump voters, or the hapless hopeful Sanders folks who got burned.<br /><br />All I can see is that we must keep saying, as Ms. Garcia does, just what we need, and not who, while calling out whoever is part of the problem, and suggesting some of the solution.<br /><br />Another voice crying in the diminishing wilderness worth heeding makes this timely point:<br /><br />https://www.thenation.com/article/manafort-monday-turns-into-a-very-bad-day-for-trump-and-mike-pence/<br /><br />He notes: "Paul Manafort put the Trump-Pence ticket together and maintained ties to the veep even after leaving the campaign."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Erik Rothnoreply@blogger.com
