The Democrats' Own Lucrezia Borgia

Biden has built a coffin of the First Amenedment, and The Queen of Darkness is primed to hammer in the last nail

It’s about time I dedicated a post to Hillary Clinton: warmonger, liar, assassin, and stooge for corporate America and the Pentagon. I have always considered her a bigger scoundrel than Bill, and now she has set her sights on censoring and privatizing what was once a publicly owned and universally shared digital commons.

I was never a Democrat, but as a young man in the 1980s, it was the most logical choice for me when registering to vote. Don’t forget, I was twenty-something during the Reagan decade: Dynasty parties, Top Gun, Iran-Contra, and the beginning of the Thatcherite-Reaganomic neoliberal enterprise that has left us dealing with a thoroughly bought and out-of-control liberal establishment.

The Clintons’ arrival marked the end of any relationship I had with the party, even if that relationship amounted to nothing more than having registered as a Democrat to vote against Reagan. I wanted no further association with them, in any way, after Clinton won the nomination.

First — in case anyone is unaware of HRC’s stellar track record — let’s take a stroll down memory lane.

The Clintons, already friendly with Robert Rubin before Bill’s election in 1992, also brought in Larry Summers to help manage the transformation of the Democratic Party. This is no surprise, as Hillary had already served on the board of Walmart for six years while her husband was Governor of Arkansas. She had obviously formed all sorts of connections with Wall Street bigwigs. Now, the once center-left, social welfare party would get Frankensteined and become forever devoted to neoliberalism and austerity politics. The new path forward was euphemistically dubbed “The Third Way.”

The Third Way would lead to the dismantling of financial regulations involving interstate commerce and the role of investment banks, which were previously forbidden from engaging in risky ventures. Glass-Stegall made sure that commercial banks would not involve themselves in risky investments that could wipe out the savings of regular customers. Under Clinton, Glass-Steagall was repealed along with Riegle-Neal, which allowed banks to branch across state lines.

The result of this pandering to the rich led to the economic collapse of 2008. Bill and Hillary were the lackeys they used. A Faustian bargain: sell your soul and the throne is yours.

How about the involvement of Her Pinkness in the assassination of Berta Caceres? Clinton supported a reactionary military coup in Honduras that resulted in torture, illegal imprisonment, and the disappearing of opposition members. Many hold her personally responsible for the assassination of Berta Caceres, an environmental and indigenous activist who vocally chastised Clinton for her support of the coup.

Where to next? Libya? You ask, I deliver.

“We came, we saw, he died,” was Hillary’s glib reaction after watching Gadaffi get sodomized with a bayonet. Her intervention turned Libya into a chaotic Mad Max film, replete with children brandishing AK-47s, standing watch at open-air slave markets in a country now run by Libya’s terrorist groups. Despite what you may think about Gadaffi — and he was a nut case — he improved the lives of countless Libyans. Electricity was free for all citizens during Gadaffi’s rule, and so was education. Housing was considered a human right, so no one went without shelter. After college, if a Libyan student couldn’t find work, the government would pay them a professional’s salary until they secured a job in their chosen field.

Now they live in a hellscape of HRC’s own making.

Hillary’s right hand in this debacle was Neera Tanden, a hawk who suggested that demolishing the country was not enough and that we should go in and steal Libya’s oil to help with our deficit problems. Check out Ben Norton’s excellent piece in the Grayzone for more bloody details.

We could go on and on. How about the rotten and crooked Clinton Foundation? Hillary initially concocted the fake Russiagate story to cover for her loss to a blowhard racist billionaire and reality television star. However, it also served the purpose of ginning up support for the Ukraine war, a conflict Trump was hesitant to engage in. During all of this, no one mentioned that Hillary used her foundation as a front to sell stockpiled US uranium to a Russian buyer.

Now, after Biden has murdered the First Amendment and dug its grave, here comes Hillary to shovel dirt over the coffin.

As the NY Post headline makes perfectly clear, Clinton and those she surrounds herself with — Kissinger, those Davos creeps, Big Tech billionaires, and lobbyists for the weapons industry — are “afraid of losing control.”

They should be.

I tried, during the Joe Rogan nonsense, to point out what is happening, and indoctrinated liberals with COVID hysteria just didn’t get it. He had to be brought down as far as they were concerned.

All Rogan had done was interview people with opposing viewpoints. It was nothing different than what Phil Donahue or Oprah Winfrey had done for decades. Suddenly, it had become a dangerous practice? Overnight? Something the average American could not decipher unless an agent from some monolithic government bureau stepped in to explain it to them?

Plus, it is odder still because Joe Rogan is actually a classic liberal: pro-choice, pro-welfare state, anti-war, endorsed Bernie Sanders. They chose him for a simple reason: he codes for old-school masculinity. He hunts, he fishes, he’s into martial arts and MMA. They presented him as another Ted Nugent, which is absolute bullshit. But he was the perfect celebrity to use for selling censorship to the hysterical liberal populace, and now, we have moved one step closer to completely and utterly demolishing the First Amendment.

The most devastating fallout from all of this hype is the damage caused to the average liberal mind. Almost half of our populace is fine with genocide and forever war; censorship and an end to free speech. As long as the evil Orange Menace is kept away from Pennsylvania Avenue.

This is what the Trump era has ushered in: the death of the Fourth Estate and the end of objective truth, bolstered by a propaganda blitz that has left liberal America brain dead — the perfect constituency, and a populace that will not push back one nanometer against the establishment of an autocratic and fascist neoliberal regime.

This is classic Naomi Klein shock doctrine politics. When the world is on fire, when COVID and Trump and Genocide and police brutality leave people reeling, this is when they double down and take away your rights and your money. This is how they consolidate power and continue to funnel wealth upwards to a genocidal, warmongering ruling class that has decided it knows best what information you should receive.

Are you really going to stand by and let this happen? Worse yet, will you vote for a Republican or Democrat, and assure that it definitely will come to pass? I’m doing my best to convince you to say “No!” but I gotta admit, most of the time, I feel like I’m pissing into the wind.

Here’s to hoping that this bloodthirsty, warmongering, anti-working class ghoul, Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom I once referred to as “a hideous vapor that swells atop a fetid bog,” find a realm other than politics in which to practice her loathsome brand of witchcraft, which has now set its sights on the most precious of our freedoms…

… and let’s also hope that people start to see these blatant truths for what they are, stand up, and refuse to re-elect the same monsters who made this chaos a reality. Taking this step is a realistic and practical means of sending a message, so don’t vote major party, even if it means not voting at all.

P.S. - I just looked at the polls. I hope people realize that all this power amassed by Biden, coupled with the massive censorship apparatus developed by liberals, will be handed to Trump, who can now censor your social media posts. Biden did that while everyone was dazed and forcefed a steady diet of Trump Fear.
