‘The Object of Power Is Power’

Posted on | May 21, 2018 | 1 Comment

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. . . . We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
— Nineteen Eighty-Four

Hillary Clinton gave the commencement speech Sunday at Yale, where she attended law school and met her husband. Mrs. Clinton spent eight years in the White House as First Lady, eight years as Senator from New York, and four years as Secretary of State, twice ran for president and lost. She cannot seem to adjust to the reality of her defeat:

“Right now we’re living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy. No, there are not tanks in the streets, but what’s happening right now goes to the heart of who we are as a nation, and I say this not as a Democrat who lost an election but as an American afraid of losing a country. There are certain things that are so essential they should transcend politics. Waging a war on the rule of law and a free press, de-legitimizing elections, perpetrating shameless corruption and rejecting the idea that our leaders should be public servants undermines our national unity. And attacking truth and reason, evidence and facts should alarm us all.”

“SJWs Always Project,” as Vox Day says, and the lack of self-awareness exhibited in Mrs. Clinton’s insulting remarks should disturb everyone.

Simple question: What is the Democrat agenda?

Other than Maxine Waters’ “Impeach 45!” what else do they have? If Democrats take over Congress in the fall midterms, what policies will they advance and how will these policies benefit the people who vote Democrat? Isn’t it true that, like the totalitarians of Orwell’s famous dystopia, Democrats seek “power entirely for its own sake”?

The continual increase of federal power, the spread of government authority into every aspect of our lives — our jobs, our homes, our schools, our doctor’s office, everywhere — this is what Hillary Clinton considers “our democracy,” which is in a “full-fledged crisis” . . . why? Because she and her party are not in control of this vast power.

Where is the “war on the rule of law” she accuses President Trump of waging? Where is his “war on . . . a free press”? These alleged evils exist only in the deranged imagination of Mrs. Clinton and her Democrat comrades who, because they are not in power, consider everything done by the government to be wrong. Who was guilty of “shameless corruption”? Who is “attacking truth and reason, evidence and facts”? It’s not the President and his supporters, it’s Mrs. Clinton and hers.

If she still doesn’t understand why she lost the election, maybe she could consider the fact that “our democracy” doesn’t require a ruling class of Yale Law graduates telling us what we are allowed to do, what we are allowed to say, what we are allowed even to think. No, Americans are a free people, and we will not surrender “our democracy” to a tyrannical oligarchy, a party that is “interested solely in power, pure power.”

The FBI Spy in the Trump Campaign and the Mueller Cover-Up Operation

Posted on | May 21, 2018 | Comments Off on The FBI Spy in the Trump Campaign and the Mueller Cover-Up Operation

 

The Daily Caller adds new details to the story:

Last July, Cambridge professor Stefan Halper contacted Carter Page with something resembling support for the Trump campaign aide, who has faced allegations that he is a Russian agent and a conduit for collusion between the Kremlin and the campaign.
“It seems attention has shifted a bit from the ‘collusion’ investigation to the ‘contretempts’ [sic] within the White House,” Halper wrote in a July 28, 2017 email to Page.
“I must assume this gives you some relief,” he continued, signing off with “be in touch when you have the time. Would be great to catch up.”
The email provides some insight into how Halper might have gained Page’s trust. And it was that trust that the 73-year-old Halper seemingly used while working as an FBI informant to keep tabs on Page.
That email was not the only time Halper, a foreign policy expert with links to the CIA and MI6, offered apparent skepticism at the collusion allegations against Page, a Naval Academy graduate and energy consultant.
Page told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Halper rolled his eyes during an encounter in late Summer 2016 when a letter that then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid sent to then-FBI Director James Comey was brought up in conversation. Reid accused Page in the letter of possibly being a Russian agent.
But Halper was all but identified on Friday as an FBI informant who spied on Page and George Papadopoulos, another Trump campaign adviser. Halper also made contact in August 2016 with Sam Clovis, the campaign’s national co-chairman.
In news articles published Friday, The Washington Post and The New York Times described an informant who met several times with Page and Papadopoulos.
The newspapers did not name the informant, but the details matched up exactly with two DCNF reports, one published in March and the other on May 17. The Times and WaPo said they were not printing the informant’s names upon the request of the intelligence community. The FBI, the Department of Justice and the CIA have all declined TheDCNF’s request for guidance or comment about Halper.

Dude, you’re a Cambridge professor and you can’t spell contretemps?

What a shabby mess the Mueller “investigation” has turned out to be, and what a stain this is on the FBI’s reputation! How bad is it? Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn has denounced this disaster:

The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.
At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton “matter,” but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a year-long investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret “no aides allowed” meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.
With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations.
But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start.

Here’s the thing: FBI officials didn’t expect Hillary to lose. As we know, text messages between two high-ranking FBI officials discussed an “insurance policy” to prevent Trump from becoming president. Because they expected Hillary to win, they also expected to be able to prevent this taxpayer-funded espionage from becoming public knowledge.

And then Trump won.

Democrat operatives — in the Clinton campaign, in the Obama administration, in the federal bureaucracy, and in the media — panicked at the thought of what the newly-elected president might do (e.g., expose the corruption at the Justice Department) used information from the Steele dossier as a pretext for the Mueller “investigation.” Yet there was never any actual “Russian collusion” to investigate, and the purpose of appointing a special counsel was . . . what? To create a phony “scandal”? To undermine the legitimacy of the new administration? To cover up wrongdoing by the Obama administration and the FBI?

Mark Penn is right: Every American, regardless of party, ought to be angry at this taxpayer-funded political espionage scheme, and the phony Mueller “investigation” needs to be stopped, immediately.

Well, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are going to the Stanley Cup finals.

The Riel deal.

Internal Civil War Raging (Not Raging)?

Posted on | May 20, 2018 | Comments Off on Internal Civil War Raging (Not Raging)?

by Smitty

The visible kulturkampf is undeniable. The Left seeks to continue to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a single “managed liberty” State, with Lefty pencil-necks guiding us. I get that.

As Mueller’s Folly winds down, we’re learning that the shenanigans may not have started with the Trump campaign:

The Obama Administration was afraid ex-Defense Intelligence Agency head Gen Flynn would be called to testify before Congress about how CIA Chief Brennen and DNI Clapper were cooking the intelligence books on Iran and ISIS.

It turned out the illegal FISA surveillance by the Obama Administration got enough dirt on Congressional leaders to prevent that from happening.

The Deep State’s Iran Deal factional plans might have worked if Trump had lost…but he didn’t.

Everything regards the spying on the Trump campaign and attempted coup d’etat by special council/lawfare/impeachment against President Trump is about hiding the facts of that Iran Nuclear Deal from the American people and law enforcement.


It is National Conversation time, followed by a huge review of how the cloak-and-dagger wing of our government–always at odds with our notion of a free and open society–operates. After that review, a big fat piece of legislation to cut down on the abuses THAT WE KNOW OF.

Anybody not curious about what ELSE the folks have been up to *cough*2012*cough* is being a Pollyanna.

‘The Climate Industrial Complex’

Posted on | May 19, 2018 | 1 Comment

Left to right: Tom Steyer, John Podesta, George Soros.

Billionaires like Tom Steyer are funding organizations like John Podesta’s Center for American Progress which use their influence to silence opposition to the radical environmental agenda:

Blue-collar workers and other traditional Democratic constituencies are the biggest losers from the green policies peddled by Podesta and funded by Steyer and the the billionaires and progressive foundations who finance the Climate Industrial Complex. To make up for this democratic deficit, big ticket donors ensure their dollars are bundled out through often secretive intermediaries such as the Environmental Grantmakers Association to finance phony grassroots campaigns. Purportedly spontaneous climate activism turns out to be centrally financed. Research by Canadian journalist Vivian Krause revealed that what Bill McKibben describes as his “scruffy little” 350.org outfit had been bankrolled by the Rockefeller Family Fund and a handful of other large foundations.
Krause also found that a separate Rockefeller fund has been financing anti-pipeline activism in Canada, kick starting the effort with a donation to the San Francisco-based Tides Foundation to launch the Tar Sands Campaign. Between 2009 and 2015, Tides made more than 400 payments to nearly 100 anti-pipeline groups. . . .
The Climate Industrial Complex’s biggest political challenge is squaring its de-industrialization agenda with what used to constitute the backbone of the Democratic coalition. The Blue-Green Alliance was set up to anesthetize pain from the green squeeze on well paid blue-collar jobs and desensitise the labor movement to the enormous subsidies going to China’s solar industry. But its phoniness was blown open when it opposed the Keystone XL project.
“We’re repulsed by some of our supposed brothers and sisters lining up with job killers like the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council to destroy the lives of working men and women,” stormed Richard Trumka, president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America.

The environmental agenda is about destroying the American economy. Believe it or not, there are people who profit from such destruction, and who delight in putting Americans out of work. Remember when Hillary Clinton bragged that she would abolish the jobs of coal miners? In that notorious gaffe, Clinton said “clean renewable energy” was the “key” to her economic agenda. Want to guess who’s invested in such projects? Could these investors include Tom Steyer and George Soros? Yeah, I think so. The billionaires who insist we must shut down existing energy industries — opposing not only coal mining but also oil drilling and petroleum pipelines — made money when the Obama administration wasted taxpayer dollars on “green energy” boondoggles and used federal regulatory power to punish competing industries.

Well, Obama’s gone, Hillary lost and now Trump’s in charge and, do you want to guess who’s leading the “impeach Trump” bandwagon? Yeah, that would be the Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer.
