Clinton Defense Fund Is Shrinking Rapidly. Hilary Clinton's Israel, Iran, Iraq & Libya Record Indicates She's A Proven Warmonger. Looking back over Mrs. Clinton’s foreign policy record, it’s clear that she is neither a progressive nor a liberal, but a proven warmonger whose record has contributed greatly to war, bloodshed and destruction in the Middle East and North Africa. LOS ANGELES — (ANALYSIS) Ever since Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for president, she has tried to present herself as a progressive whose “inevitable” election will be a historic moment for the United States, and perhaps even the world.

After Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders entered the race and began talking about his relatively progressive agenda, Mrs. Clinton tried to outdo him and take on positions that not only completely contradict her history as first lady, U.S. senator from New York, and secretary of state, but force her to make totally ridiculous statements that only demonstrate the facts that she believes in no principle and is only hungry for power. Mrs. “I represented New York on 9/11, when we were attacked. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. When Iraq Was Clinton’s War. Our new issue, “Between the Risings,” is out now. To celebrate its release, international subscriptions are $25 off, and limited prints of our Easter 1916 cover are available. Air raid sirens screamed as bombers from the United States and the United Kingdom launched missile strikes on Baghdad.

Countries in the Middle East and Western Europe condemned the military action. And antiwar groups were up in arms. An assault on Iraq without the support of much of the international community and over the cries of the antiwar movement — it all sounds very familiar. Yet the bombing in question came on February 16, 2001, two years before the American invasion of Iraq and less than a month after George W. Bush’s inauguration.

While now largely forgotten, the strikes garnered significant media coverage at the time and marked the first time since 1998 that the US and the UK had bombed Iraq outside of the so-called “no-fly zone.” And on some level, they were. War By Other Means Much as George W. Hillary's Latest Scandal: She And Bill Siphoned $100 Mil From Persian Gulf Leaders. Scandal: A new investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton took in at least $100 million from Middle East leaders. Can such a financially and ethically compromised candidate truly function as our nation's leader? The investigation by the Daily Caller News Foundation has uncovered a disturbing pattern of the Clintons' raising money for the Clinton Foundation from regimes that have checkered records on human rights and that aren't always operating in the best interests of the U.S.

By the way, the $100 million we mentioned above doesn't appear to include another $30 million given to the Clintons by two Mideast-based foundations and four billionaire Saudis. All told, it's a lot of money. "These regimes are buying access," Patrick Poole, a national security analyst who regularly writes for PJ Media, told the DCNF. Meanwhile, former U.S. The question is an open one: Did the oil-rich Mideast nations give lavishly to the Clinton Foundation in an effort to influence future U.S. policy?

Wall Street Whistleblower Calls Clinton Foundation ‘Charity Fraud’ A Wall Street whistleblower has found a new target for investigation of financial irregularities, and it’s bad news for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Financial advisor Charles Ortel has taken on the Clinton Foundation and says that based on the records he’s found, the organization has been operating in a “boldly illegal” fashion, going as far as to say that “this is a charity fraud.” Ortel has spent 15 months looking at public records, donor disclosures, and tax filings for all of the Foundation’s projects, including the Clinton Global Initiative, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Ortel plans to release 40 reports on what he found on his website, and he claims those reports will prove that the Clinton Foundation has never had to comply with legal requirements to verify their financial claims with independent accountants.

“To my shock and horror, as I tore it apart, I realized it was overvalued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. “I’m against charity fraud. The Clinton Foundation Scandals, Explained. The national media has finally started to investigate the shady dealings of the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The results have been, well, entirely predictable. Here’s what you need to know. What is the Clinton Foundation? The Clinton Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by former President Bill Clinton. It seeks to bring people together using money to find creative solutions to global challenges.

Accent[edit] [edit] Clinton Campaign Admits Major Detail About the People Hillary is Meeting on Campaign Stops. While in Keene, New Hampshire, for a campaign stop on Monday, Hillary Clinton's communications director confirmed they have been using pre-screened “everyday Americans” for their campaign stops. According to the Daily Mail: "While Clinton held court with three Granite Staters and their pastries, her communications director Jennifer Palmieri explained the unfolding scene.Asked whether the campaign had brought any of the customers with them, Palmieri said, 'I think maybe some of them, but I don't know.'New Hampshire's WMUR-TV later reported that two of the people Clinton spoke with had been asked to come.

" Palmieri went on to say that recruiting Democrats for early campaign stops is essential to building a solid, Clinton base in early caucus and primary states: "We have to go after Democrats before we do anything else. And in Iowa? Maybe it was a good thing the campaign brought in pro-Clinton voters to the Keene coffee shop stop, since not every employee was a Clinton fan.

The Progressive Review Arkansas Sudden Death Syndrome A number of persons associated with WJ Clinton or Arkansas politics have died of unnatural causes or suddenly under circumstances that have raised questions. While lists compiled by some run as high as 61 deaths, the following is limited to those deaths with clear anomalies that, based on the information available to TPR, require further investigation. A few important points: (1) The fact that anomalies need to be investigated carries no presumption of how a death occurred, only that there remain serious questions that require answers. (2) The possibility of foul play must be taken seriously in a major criminal conspiracy in which over two score individuals and firms have already been convicted and over 100 witnesses have pled the Fifth Amendment or fled the country. (3) If foul play did occur in any of these cases, that fact by itself does not carry the presumption that the White House was involved.

Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy: In The Past, Obama Would Be ‘Carrying our Bags’ | Publius Forum. -By Warner Todd Huston If Obama so desperately wants examples of racist rhetoric being cast against him, there's none better than what Bill Clinton said of him only a few short years ago. In 2008 during that contentious Democrat primary that pitted Hillary Clinton against Barack Obama, the former president was in full sales mode to get his wife the nomination of the Democrat Party and in an effort to enlist Ted Kennedy to his cause he uttered what any journalist would immediately brand as a racist remark.

Ryan Lizza reports that the late Tim Russert related a Bill Clinton anecdote that must shock anyone overly sensitive to charges of racism. You might recall, as does Lizza, that Bill Clinton was already being accused of acting in a racist manner by discounting Obama's primary wins that year and an incident after the South Carolina primaries figured prominently in that charge. But the former president was even more vehement in private.

But was it? Hillary Clinton needs to address the racist undertones of her 2008 campaign. Sign Up for Our free email newsletters Black Lives Matter, the advocacy group for black interests, has gotten the attention of the Democratic presidential candidates, who are reportedly scrambling to reach out to the movement. Even heavy favorite Hillary Clinton is getting in on it, addressing the movement in a Q&A session on Facebook, where she checked most of the right boxes. DeRay McKesson, one of the movement's leaders, wrote on Twitter that the post was "solid. " But he also noted that she had two days to work on it, and did not attend the liberal forum Netroots Nation, unlike her challengers Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, who flailed in front of activists from Black Lives Matter.

McKesson is right to be suspicious. As the first primaries got underway in 2008, and Obama began to slowly pull ahead, the Clinton camp resorted to increasingly blatant race- and Muslim-baiting. More Perspectives James Poulos Donald Trump's inaugural address was great Damon Linker How Trump vanquished Reagan. Bill Clinton, the Jolly Racist. Over the course of two decades, Alexander Cockburn and I wrote dozens of articles on the political corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their cronies in DC and Arkansas. In many ways, those years represented the golden age of political journalism, with a fresh scandal ripening each month. As Hillary cruises toward the Democratic nomination, if not the White House, it’s time to dig into the Clinton Files and resurrect the stories of sleaze, malfeasance and transgression from that feculent decade. — JSC If the late Ted Kennedy was quoting Bill Clinton correctly, the former president most certainly was making a racist remark when he said to Kennedy of the black man then battling Mrs Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

Clinton reinforced the racist interpretation when he called Kennedy after the senator endorsed Obama and snarled, “the only reason you’re supporting him is because he’s black.” Tubbs Jones: Barack Obama and the "Clothing of His Country" Clinton aides claim Obama photo wasn't intended as a smear | US news. Barack Obama's campaign team today accused Hillary Clinton's beleaguered staff of mounting a desperate dirty tricks operation by circulating a picture of him in African dress, feeding into false claims on US websites that he is a Muslim. Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, described it as "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election".

Obama has had to spend much of the campaign stressing he is a Christian not a Muslim and did not study at a madrassa. Aides for Mrs Clinton, who is fighting a last-ditch battle to keep her hopes of the White House alive, initially tried to brush off the furore, but later denied having anything to do with the distribution of the picture. "I just want to make it very clear that we were not aware of it, the campaign didn't sanction it and don't know anything about it," Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reporters. Obama and Clinton go to the polls in the Texas and Ohio primaries next week. How Can Black People Trust Hillary Clinton After the 2008 Campaign? | The Huffington Post. Hillary Clinton appears to be playing cynical racial politics again, as she did in 2008. It’s just got a different look and feel. Today, Clinton is wrapping herself in the flag of Obama to appeal to Black voters, arguing that she’s the candidate who will address the needs of Black people.

She’s got her surrogates attacking her opponent’s civil rights bonafides, and she’s built a large stable of Black establishment players to support her. Clinton is proclaiming that Black Lives Matter and offering bold promises to fight systemic racism and inequality. But it’s hard to believe she’s serious about fighting for racial justice unless you pretend her 2008 campaign against Obama never happened.

If you remember that period, there’s good reason to believe today’s promises are nothing more than lip-service to a community she sees as key to winning the nomination.
