Official 'Accidentally' Crushes Own Throat Right Before Testifying Against Hillary Clinton" by Zero Hedge<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-02/un-official-accidentally-crushes-own-throat-right-testifying-against-hillary-clinton<br /><br />"Call it conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton by testifying they wind up dead. In fact, there’s a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances."<br /><br />"Perhaps the most notable is Vince Foster. Foster was a partner at Clinton’s law firm and knew the inner workings of the Clinton Machine. Police ruled that death a suicide, though it is often noted that Foster may have been suicided."<br /><br />"Now, another official has found himself on the wrong end of the Clintons. That John Ashe was a former President of the United Nations General Assembly highlights the fact that no one is safe once in their sights."<br /><br />"And as you might have guessed, there are major inconsistencies with Ashe’s death. It was not only conveniently timed because Ashe died just a few days before being set to testify against Clinton in a corruption case, but official reports indicated he died of a heart attack."<br /><br />"The problem, however, is that police on the scene reported Ashe died when his throat was crushed during a work-out accident."<br /><br />Disgraced ex-UN official’s death ‘conveniently timed’ - Page Six.com<br /><br />http://pagesix.com/2016/06/26/disgraced-ex-un-officials-death-conveniently-timed/<br /><br />"The death by barbell of disgraced UN official John Ashe could become a bigger obsession for conspiracy theorists than Vince Foster’s 1993 suicide."<br /><br />"Ashe — who was facing trial for tax fraud — died Wednesday afternoon in his house in Westchester County. The UN said he’d had a heart attack. But the local Dobbs Ferry police said Thursday that his throat had been crushed, presumably by a barbell he dropped while pumping iron."<br /><br />"Ashe was due in court Monday with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, who is charged with smuggling $4.5 million into the US since 2013 and lying that it was to buy art and casino chips."<br /><br />"Ng was identified in a 1998 Senate report as the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally funneled through an Arkansas restaurant owner, Charlie Trie, to the Democratic National Committee during the Clinton administration. (Ng was not charged with any crime.)"<br /><br />"Ng and Trie had visited the White House several times for Democratic fundraising events and were photographed with then-President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton."<br /><br />"One source told me, "During the trial, the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng. It would have been very embarrassing. His death was conveniently timed.""<br /><br />"Ashe’s lawyer Jeremy Schneider told me he is sure Ashe’s death was an accident. "There is not one iota of evidence that it was homicide. This is nothing at all like Vince Foster.""<br /><br />"Police in Dobbs Ferry village are keeping the investigation open pending an autopsy by the Westchester medical examiner."<br />Neilhttp://www.nosue.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-88478495579423362622016-07-02T15:51:22.081-04:002016-07-02T15:51:22.081-04:00The grand total for speeches, since 2001, is $153 ...The grand total for speeches, since 2001, is $153 million: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-paid-speeches/<br />Nonni Mussnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-25161683194560221992016-07-02T13:26:38.632-04:002016-07-02T13:26:38.632-04:00For anyone interested in Hillary and Bill Clinton’...For anyone interested in Hillary and Bill Clinton’s speeches and associated fees, from Zerohedge<br /><br />The Complete Breakdown Of Every Hillary And Bill Clinton Speech, And Fee, Since 2013<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-03/every-hillary-and-bill-clinton-speech-2013-fees<br /><br />Since 2013 Bill Clinton has been paid $26.6 million for 94 speeches; Hillary's grand total is slightly less: $21.7 million for 92 private appearances.

The ...The NY Times isn't playing nice anymore.<br /><br />The NY Times Book Review is doing something this weekend it has never done before. (Cymbals, please. !!*!! Thank you, that's enough.) They have engaged an "acclaimed" novelist––whose complicated name I can't pronounce let alone spell––to write a short story about the 2016 presidential race. Specifically, Donald Trump through the eyes of Melania. That's his wife, in case you don't keep up with these things. This short story about The Donald and Family copies the opening scenes of Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. No kidding.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/books/review/melania-trump-in-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-short-story.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fbooks&action=click&contentCollection=books&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront<br /><br />The Book Review is not just reviewing campaign propaganda, it's churning it out. The story gets very up close and really personal, a wonderful hatched job in fictional form about the Great Evil One. Who needs investigative reporters or the opinion pages to do him harm with lines like this?<br /><br />"They were drawn to Donald’s brashness and bluster and bullying, his harsh words, even the amoral ease with which untruths slid out of his mouth."<br /><br />Stuff like that about Trump, and then Melania herself, whose dishing out all these gems in her stream of consciousness, without realizing how superficial she comes off in her streaming. I feel sorry for Donald, his wife and the kids (who also make it into the story). Trump should sue. In any event, he's sure to be upset about the bedroom scenes. Un-huh, bedroom scenes.<br /><br />Oh, there's more. The Book Review editor tells us she has another short story, which will be held back until the fall, presumably just before election day. She's keeping secret the name of the author of short story 2. I'll bet you'll never guess who the main character will be in that one.

All the newspapers responded with raised eyebrows when we were told they merely chatted about their grandchildren which is why all phones and texts were not allowed(?) One reporter had the following comment: upon being asked about the meeting Bill replied "I never had sexual relations with that woman!"<br /><br />Also the press was not kind to Bill and felt he had not helped Hillary so one wonders if she knew about it or not and how that will turn out. I wonder how they will get along in the White House. Also reading back about the new Attorney General's duties, are to report and comment on the results of such an investigation so it is obvious she will keep silent and keep her job. <br />A proper successor to Holden. <br />Waiting for more to come for sure.Pearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-30684007637253052832016-07-01T15:54:03.075-04:002016-07-01T15:54:03.075-04:00Pearl, you're right.

What counts is what she does behind the big desk in the Oval Office.<br /><br />Of course, Bernie is not and never will be in a position to do anything meaningful about TPP, other than to raise consciousness among a minority of voters, which is something. Maybe a paragraph in the plank; hold your breath until July 28. Bet you a loonie that as soon as the Clintons are sworn in, she'll revert to type and promote the TPP as effectively as Obama.

Lots of folks in the streets of Ottawa all day wearing smiles and something red. Around 12:30––oh, oh! Here they come, cover your ears!––a handful of fighter jets will roar––ARE NOW ROARING––over Parliament Hill to the cheers of thousands. Red ribbons on lampposts, on baby carriages, on yapping mini dogs (how small do they get?). And of course the red tunics of our Mounties doing fancy maneuvers on scary horses on the great lawn in front of Parliament. Big fireworks tonight over the Ottawa River. Always a great show. <br /><br />Feel sorry for the tourists who came up here to take pictures of beautiful Parliament Hill only to discover that a number of those buildings will be serially surrounded forever by green-draped scaffolding. Well, there's always postcards of Parliament for a loonie or a twoie, over there where you buy the popsicles.<br /><br />The NY Times ran a nice story today about how goodly we are in taking in Syrian refugees. Gotta say I'm on a minor subcommittee of a big committee of two parishes that have raised enough dough and personal commitments to support and settle in a Syrian family of five for a year. Personal atonement for my part once upon a time overseas as part of NATO.<br /><br />But not all is well here. The Three Amigos of NAFTA were in Ottawa this week to tell us they will continue to be the three amigos all in for the TPP. Former PM Harper (Conservative) absent and exiled to Alberta; current PM Trudeau (Liberal) present. On this issue, what's the difference, eh? Big money doesn't like change. At least Trudeau is nice on those all-important social issues. Guess it's up to you folks south of the 49th to snuff the TPP.

Bernie-or-Busters who haven't left the Party yet will do so by July 28, should Clinton's nomination be finalized. I do think most of us are aware that the Democratic Party is unsalvageable. I look at the Party more like a vehicle, which provided the most expeditious route on a road closed to third parties.

Like you...Hello Elizabeth, thanks for your comment. Like you, I don't think Bernie Sanders is naïve at all. My inartful comment was meant for Sander’s supporters, some of whom appear to believe his purported good ideas would carry the day. I believe that premise is naive. <br /><br />The two party duopoly must be destroyed or rendered impotent. Party patrons would have sabotaged Sanders if he got elected in place of HRC. After all, it’s Hillary’s turn to be POTUS. <br /><br />On its face I still find it odd that Sanders joined the Democrat Party last year, after spending most of his political career as an independent socialist outside the two party duopoly. By joining the Democrat Party, Sanders appears to have strengthened the party. Sanders is not naive. So what really happened? HRC was not going to take any chances this time, not after getting trounced in 2008 by an upstart named Barack Obama. <br /><br />Did HRC and the DNC make a deal with Sanders to join the party and play his bit in the kabuki theater, in exchange for something? Was Sanders threatened, as Nonni Muss suggested? Perhaps a combination of deal/threat, otherwise known as dirty politics as usual. <br /><br />The two party duopoly must be destroyed or rendered impotent. I believe Sanders’ presence has strengthened the Democrat Party. And why is Trump self-destructing on a daily basis? Did Trump have a change of heart about being president? Or was Trump threatened? <br /><br />You are correct, the Democrat Party nomination is arguably still open. It also appears the Republican Party nomination is not a done deal either. As I noted in previous posts, I believe our current election process is unconstitutional. Will someone make a legal challenge?Neilhttp://www.nosue.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-15868295465509920442016-06-30T21:16:43.262-04:002016-06-30T21:16:43.262-04:00Elections are, in the words of Noam Chomsky, "...<br />Elections are, in the words of Noam Chomsky, "occasions on which segments of private sector power coalesce to invest to control the state."<br />Pearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-28041921303465150502016-06-30T19:14:37.211-04:002016-06-30T19:14:37.211-04:00I don't think Bernie Sanders is naïve at all. ...I don't think Bernie Sanders is naïve at all. As much as he was blacked out by the DNC and mainstream media as a Democrat, it would have been much worse had he remained a third party. He has done so much good getting words and ideas into the mainstream -- things that have not been uttered at all by any politician within the duopoly. Ralph Nader himself thinks Sanders was smart to go the route he did.<br /><br />This nomination, while thought to be in the bag by most, isn't over until after July 25. The Republican-sponsored Democratic Convention in Philadelphia is going to be crazy on the inside and outside, and I admire the people who are not quitting before the super delegates actually vote.

Those who owe patronage for their government job to the party.<br /><br />I believe this is especially true of the powerful Clinton political machine that spans decades. That’s why I find it odd that Sanders joined the Democrat Party last year, after spending most of his political career as an independent socialist outside the two party duopoly. How did Sanders expect to get the support of the Democrats? Through his purported good ideas? That is a naive perspective, in my view. The two parties have hijacked our nation, our elections, everything. <br /><br />Forgive me if I refer to Sanders and not "Bernie". I’m just not into the cult of personality. Candidates are not our friends. We don’t know what a candidate really thinks, except you can be sure they mostly work for their own self-interest. <br /><br />A recent story by Anita Kumar in McClatchy DC is worth reading, <br /><br />"Donor promised to make Clinton ‘look good’ if appointed to board"<br /><br />http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article85883852.html<br /><br />"A major Democratic donor personally lobbied then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s office for a seat on a sensitive government intelligence board, telling one of her closest aides that if appointed he would make Clinton "look good.""<br /><br />"Rajiv Fernando acknowledged that he may not have the experience to sit on a board that would allow him the highest levels of top-secret access, but he assured deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin in newly released 2009 emails that he was talking to two professors who were "getting me up to speed on the academics behind the field.""<br /><br />"Fernando, who contributed to Clinton, her family’s foundation and Barack Obama, described himself as one of "Hillary’s people" and mentioned that he recently had sent an ailing Clinton flowers to wish her a speedy recovery."<br /><br />"The emails shed new light on how Fernando got a spot on the International Security Advisory Board.

The fact that this is it, a neutral endorsement of sorts for Clinton when he says he will be voting for her, seems disappointing. It feels like he doesn't have the courage to give up those cushy positions in Congress and fight along beside his supporters. He has clearly bought into the spoiler meme and somehow that makes him seem weak. I think he IS a good man but in the end, people hoped he would be the commander that would lead them into battle not the commander who surrenders politely.Valerienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-59527232800900683042016-06-30T01:07:09.726-04:002016-06-30T01:07:09.726-04:00I agree the Democratic platform is nothing. It is ...I agree the Democratic platform is nothing. It is a wish list that is totally non binding. Go back and read the Democratic Party Platform in 2008. Did Obama do any of that? Furthermore, who were his first cabinet appointments? Did they even line up with the Democratic platform? <br /><br />However, the fact that Bernie has so little influence with the DNC that he can't even get his most important issues on the wish list, shows the contempt the DNC has for Sanders and his supporters. They are totally counting on the Lesser of Two Evils meme to get them the votes they need. I wonder if they are even worried much about getting the Sanders' supporters' votes. As annenigma says, "The candidate who promises Wall Street the most 'certainty' for them is the one who will win. The corporate media will make certain of that."<br /><br />If all of Bernie's supporters turned out for the Greens, we MIGHT see a little change. It MIGHT scare the Democrats a little to the Left. But honestly, we just have to vote so that there IS a future for the Greens and other Third Parties. We have to give up on this idea that the Democratic Party is going to change. They are too far gone - corrupted to the core. <br /><br />To give the Republicans credit, at least they recognised their shallow politicians for what they are. Donald Trump isn't ideal and quite honestly, he really DOES scare me, but at least enough Republicans have the courage to vote for someone who is basically outside the traditional Republican Party platform. Why can't the Left come together and do the same?Valerienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-78553283095753176392016-06-29T23:25:53.285-04:002016-06-29T23:25:53.285-04:00Don't worry about HRC getting indicted, I am f...Don't worry about HRC getting indicted, I am fairly certain BO has a presidential pardon already drafted, ready to add the final details.

The proof is in the pudding.Pearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-79051782134704574992016-06-29T17:28:30.345-04:002016-06-29T17:28:30.345-04:00The candidate who promises Wall Street the most &#...The candidate who promises Wall Street the most 'certainty' for them is the one who will win. The corporate media will make certain of that. <br /><br />Donald Trump is too independent and thus unpredictable AND he opposes the TPP and NAFTA. So Hillary, who used to call the TPP the gold standard of trade deals before she went silent about it as a candidate, will win - unless she's indicted, then Joe Biden from the corporate state of Delaware will be tapped and win the Presidency.annenigmanoreply@blogger.com
