The Art of the Steal
Hillary doesn't want a fair fight. Or even
an unfair fight. She wants to cripple the
GOP so it can't fight at all. It's the
ultimate rigged election....
By Joan Swirsky We’re a little more than two months from
the November 8th election and
everyone knows that all Democrats, a good
number of Republicans and conservatives, and
almost the entire media have been agonizing
over and militating against the fact that
billionaire businessman Donald Trump is the
last man standing in a contest that pits him
against Crooked Hillary for the presidency
of the United States. But why are no professional political
commentators—on TV, radio, or in
print—explaining exactly why Mr. Trump is
such a mortal threat? After all, he has
proven himself to be an upright citizen, a
wildly successful businessman, the
bestselling author of over a dozen books, a
philanthropist, the father of five
respectful and loving children the eldest of
whom are also impressively contributory
members of society, the representative of
every value Republicans and conservatives
traditionally stand for—low taxes, fewer
regulations, secure borders, a strong
military, strict conservative appointments
to the Supreme Court, et al—and
significantly a person who has never been
accused of being complicit in the deaths of
U.S. servicemen, under the ominous
investigation of the FBI, or operating an
international money-laundering slush fund
that compromises the national security of
the United States. Here is the answer: It's all about the
deal! Underneath the veneer of “service” our
elected politicians purport to be driven by,
underneath the “ethical standards” our
financial centers pretend to operate, and
underneath the gauzy illusion of objectivity
the media pretend they represent, the
so-called culture of the D.C.-Wall St.-media
complex is all about cozy arrangements that
inevitably line the pockets of those engaged
in the following kinds of local, regional,
national and international deals, to name
but a few:
You get the picture. In all these
“arrangements,” either people with limited
power (meaning with limited money, like most
politicians when they start out) always get
“persuaded” (meaning bought) to do what they
know is wrong, but they just can’t resist
the irresistible aphrodisiacs of money and
power; or people with piles of money engage
in schemes that increase their wealth and
power exponentially. Some deals are actually
legitimate, but too many dealmakers are
involved in cynical collusion or corrupt
collaborations. In the political world, with notable—but
pitifully few—exceptions, there is little
difference between a “strict conservative”
like Paul Ryan and a far-left ideologue like
Nancy Pelosi. Whether it’s a deal that’s bad
for America like the Trans-Pacific
Partnership, the dumbed down so-called
standards of Common Core, or facilitating
the building of nuclear bombs by the
terrorist state of Iran, both left and right
somehow find ways to bathe in the same
swamp. MEDIA COLLABORATORS
As “Deep Throat” advised The
Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward
and Carl Bernstein during the Watergate
scandal in the 1970s, “follow the money.”
It’s always about the money. Speaking of journalists, who exactly are
these seekers of truth, intrepid
investigators and earnest news readers who
so often seem unable to control the impulses
to blurt out their own leftwing two-cents
worth (read CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, the
entire staff of NBC and MSNBC, Fox’s Chris
Wallace and Shepard Smith, the staff of
Reuters, et al)? How can they get away with
their biases with such total impunity? It’s because, as Ashley Lutz at Business
Insider reports, only
six organizations are now responsible
for 90 percent of all of the “news” we read,
watch and listen to. That’s right—in 1983,
there were 50 media companies, today only
six! They include:
In other words, the Shepard Smiths and
Norah O’Donnells of the media world are
simply obedient servants to the tastes,
political predilections, and often greed of
their bosses, who all happen to be
globalists engaged in the massive,
multibillion-dollar deals described above.
They only reflect the biases of their
owners, the people who pay their salaries. The media, however, seem to be in a
downward spiral. Most national news
magazines are in their death throes, as is
the entire dinosaur newspaper industry,
including The NY Times, which still
gets mention on the nightly news, but has
utterly lost the credibility and cachet it
once had. What about TV’s influence, including
cable? If the ratings NBC received for its
Olympics coverage is any sign, this medium
is being eaten alive by the likes of Netflix
and other media alternatives. Gary North
writes about
the statistical irrelevance of cable news,
citing the fact that The Drudge Report gets
about one-billion page views a month. In
contrast, the approximately 115,000
households in the U.S., which account for
roughly 225-million adults, give cable shows
like MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show and Fox
News’ The Kelly File a paltry 400,000
viewers apiece—a literal drop in the
viewership ocean. “Are we supposed to believe,” Mr. North
asks, “that either Ms. Maddow or Ms. Kelly
has any significant influence, or even
marginal relevance, for the American body
politic, or body anything else?” Their
audiences offset each other, he says, but
“even if they reinforced each other, we
could not hear them. They would still be
background noise.” Emmett Tyrell Jr., founder and editor of
The American Spectator, sums it up
quite neatly: “With the trashing of
Donald Trump and the “celebration of a
career criminal, the mainstream media have
become passé.” But they keep trying, as we see from the
insults, outbursts, lies, character
assassination, and general hysteria being
hurled in Trump’s direction every day. The
entire establishment is running scared.
NY Times reporter Jim Rutenberg was all
in knots a few weeks ago when he
wrote—clearly with the blessing of his
editors—journalists were justified in
writing openly “oppositional” articles about
Trump—objectivity out, bias in. Now why do
you suppose those editors approved of this
journalistic malpractice? Because the Times is in on the globalist
deals—big time! As are the hedge-fund
moguls, the wolves of Wall Street, the
political establishment both right and left,
the Big Pharma honchos, all those foreign
princes and sultans and tin-pot dictators,
both friends and enemies of the U.S., as
well as all the donors to the Clinton
Foundation slush fund, who are all slurping
from the same trough. Shamefully, of the 154 meetings Ms.
Hillary had during her tenure in the State
Department, 85 were with donors to the
Clinton Foundation—to the tune of $156
million dollars! That is how the crooked
system worked quite seamlessly until Donald
Trump questioned, challenged, and damned it! A DIRE PREDICTION FOR THE “IN” CROWD
J. Robert Smith explains in
AmericanThinker.com that a Trump victory in
November
“won’t end well for the global elites”
who inhabit “New York, DC, Boston, and San
Francisco—or wherever else ivory towers,
mahogany-paneled offices, pricey secured
buildings, and gated communities are found.
Trump’s election would have reverberations
overseas, too, in London, Paris, Berlin…” Smith continues: “The worldview among
many of our elite is anti-nation—dare we
say—anti-American, anti-law and order,
anti-tradition, anti-faith (with exceptions
carved out for Islam), anti-durable values
and enduring truths, like marriage between a
man and woman, and family, as defined by a
man, woman, and children. The elite, so very
cosmopolitan, have evolved past antique
beliefs and ways.” In other words, a Trump victory would
utterly destroy the global monopolies these
poohbahs have built up over the past several
decades—all those cozy deals shot to hell! Not if Hillary wins, says Smith. “A
Hillary victory means…a doubling-down by the
elite, as they act with renewed zest to
secure their interests—versus the national
welfare. Divide to conquer.” [my bullet
points below, but Smith’s words): But if Trump wins, the nightmare for the
globalists and the ones they take orders
from, particularly billionaire radical
leftist George Soros, is that Donald Trump
is onto all the tricks and sleights-of-hand
and financial hocus-pocus involved in their
massive accumulation of wealth and power,
and therefore will be highly successful in
dismantling them. They are terrified because
TRUMP-OWES-THEM-NOTHING-
HE-CANNOT-BE-BOUGHT! One more thing: Trump—looking 20 years
younger than his 70 years and exhibiting
tireless energy and passion—is on the
campaign trail non-stop and not depending on
the self-glorifying media to get his message
across. In stark and rather pathetic contrast is
68-year-old Hillary, who most of the time
looks exhausted, her hair matted, her face
haggard, her outfits wildly
inappropriate—such as the wool winter coat
and long black slacks she wore to a
fundraiser in 100-degree heat on Martha’s
Vineyard—her horrific
screech-owl voice producing more cringes
than applause. While numerous websites, including
liberal ones, show pictures of her being
helped upstairs, losing her balance, and
zoning out in the middle of sentences, and
articles insist that she has Parkinson’s
disease, a neurological malady, or early
dementia, I don’t join that chorus. As an
R.N. with clinical experience, I believe
that people with cancer or Parkinson’s or
Type A diabetes or any number of maladies
can lead active, productive, responsible
lives. But her stubborn refusal to release
her medical records fuels the suspicion not
only that she’s hiding something but that
she is simply not up to the job. And now, publisher and editor of
AmericanThinker.com, Thomas Lifson, writes
in his blog that Hillary has no scheduled
events until September 26th! “Just how frail and exhausted is Hillary
Clinton?” Lifson asks. “Surely, she does not
need 5 weeks of rest to prepare for her
presidential debate. If she did, that would
be a terrible indicator of fitness for
office. If you look at [her] campaign
calendar… there are 15 listed events.
However, if you really look at it, what you
notice is that Secretary Clinton is not
actually attending 14 of these events; they
are being attended by surrogates. Go check
for yourself.” ALMOST—BUT NO CIGAR
The craven cabal of the Obama regime—or
cartel as Trump calls them—has almost
gotten away with opening our borders to
anyone who crosses them, including jihadists
whose only goal is to murder Americans, but
who Democrats plan to register to vote by
the millions. They’ve almost gotten away with
socializing our medical and our educational
systems, both of which seem to be imploding
on their own, thank you. They’ve almost gotten away with
trampling on the Judeo-Christian moral
foundation that has elevated our country to
among the loftiest in the world;
demoralizing the heroic police forces that
protect us day and night, 365; undermining
our once-vibrant and strong military into a
laboratory of preposterous,
politically-correct positions and postures;
spitting consistently on our magnificent
Constitution; and compromising our
once-flourishing system of capitalism and
free markets. This is the short list. I say almost because the forces
I’m describing are essentially incompetent,
as proven by their utter failures for over
five decades! They’ve tried. They’ve had the
media on their side. They’ve had untold
billions backing their anti-American (and
did I mention anti-Semitic?) schemes. And yet, one man comes along, throws
their p.c. speech out the window, speaks
truth to power, exposes their malevolent
plots, and all of them squeal like stuck
pigs and double down on their efforts to
keep the old corrupt network in place by
defeating him in November. Don’t tell me you
haven’t noticed that every Trump event
attracts multi-thousands of enthusiastic
supporters, while Ms. Hillary has trouble
attracting even 100 probably-paid-for
supporters. Does the media report this
dramatic disparity? Never. THE ART OF THE STEAL
But liberals are an obdurate lot, and
their goal is not to win but to steal the
election. After all, who but Democrats have
elevated election fraud to a virtual art
form? Every time they’re losing, they
magically find several bags of uncounted
votes to put their candidate just barely
over the top. Remember ACORN (Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now), the crooked
group that received $53 million in federal
funds and engaged in massive voter fraud,
including registering dead voters or voters
with the names of various Disney cartoon
characters? The group was finally outed by
conservative activists Hannah Giles and
James O’Keefe who used hidden cameras to
expose ACORN employees advising them how to
avoid taxes, et al. The U.S. Congress cut
ACORN’s funding and the group eventually
disbanded, but continued to operate—to this
day—under new names. Clearly, this is one organization the
Trump organization should watch with
eagle-eyed vigilance! In a stunning, must-read, three-part
series—here,
Part 1 by Katy Grimes,
here, Part 2 by Megan Barth and
here, Part 3 by Katy Grimes, Grimes
begins with a chilling quotation from Joseph
Stalin: ”...The people who cast the
votes decide nothing. The people who count
the votes decide everything.” Grimes and Barth report the massive
election fraud that took place during the
California primary in June (2016).
Of course, we all know what happened in
the fiasco of a 2012 presidential election,
largely as a result of liberals’ aversion to
voter identification cards. According to
writer Rev. Austin Miles:
Barth says: “If the DNC was willing and
able to rig a primary election, what would
prevent them from doing the same in a
national election—-especially in the
battleground states of Colorado, Florida,
Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
Wisconsin”? She cites a study on Democrat fraud in
multiple states, the conclusion of which was
that election fraud is occurring and
benefitting Hillary Clinton—especially in
states that use unaccountable, electronic
voting machines. The Heritage Foundation has published a
detailed
list of approximately 200 cases of voter
fraud from across the country. Sit down for this one: “What’s more, two
of the three companies that control the
electronic voting machine market, Dominion
Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. hart
Intercivic) are on the list of big money
donors that donated to the Clinton campaign,
as shown by the DNC documents leaked by
Guccifer 2.0.” These stories are nowhere to be found in
the mainstream media. Either is this video
of a Diebold machine
spitting out incorrect votes. Here’s another stunner. According to Dean
Garrison at
dcclothesline.com, not only did Reuters
rig a major poll to show Hillary winning
when Breitbart News was reporting a 17-point
swing towards Trump and away from Hillary,
but now we learn that Thomas Reuters, owner
of the Reuters News Service, is among the
top-tier donors ($1.5 million) to the
Clinton Foundation! Reuters is not alone. When was the last
time you heard a poll result from ABC-TV
that had Trump in the lead? Yet
look at this report from the network
itself, posted less than two weeks ago, on
August 17, 2016. This is why Donald Trump’s warnings about
possible voter fraud in November are right
on target. This is why Donald Trump’s warnings about
possible voter fraud in November are right
on target. DESPERATION
So far, in spite of the virtual assault
on Donald Trump by the media, nothing has
worked to diminish his popularity. So
desperate are the powers-that-be to maintain
the corrupt status quo, and to defeat the
biggest nemesis they’ve ever faced, that
they’ve
enlisted the top tech companies in the
world—Apple, Twitter, Google and
Instagram—to defeat the dreaded Donald
Trump, writes Liz Crokin in Observer.com. “Apple isn’t the only corporation doing
Clinton’s bidding. Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange said Clinton made a deal with Google
and that the tech giant is `directly
engaged’ in her campaign.” She says that
Eric Schmidt—chairman of Alphabet, the
parent company of Google—is also on board
with the Clinton machine. Assange claims
this was to ensure Clinton had the
“engineering talent to win the election.” “Twitter is another culprit,” Crokin
says, by banning conservatives and Trump
supporters and changing “its algorithms to
promote Clinton while giving negative
exposure to Trump.” Buzzfeed, too, is in on the biased
reporting, and Instagram “has also banned
accounts that depict Clinton in a negative
light.” Then there is Facebook, which “has a
long history of shutting down pages and
blocking conservative users while promoting
progressive voices…” CNN, of course is a leader of dishonest
reporting. The other day, Crokin reports,
“CNN set aside nearly half of its air
time…to various recent controversies
involving the Trump campaign—1 hour, 24
minutes, and 18 seconds over three hours.”
In contrast, the program only devoted 27
seconds to news that the Obama
administration secretly airlifted $400
million in cash to Iran, or that “the
payment was sent on `an unmarked cargo
plane.’ [CNN], therefore, devoted over 187
times more coverage to Trump than to the
millions to Iran.” WHAT TO DO
And Mr. Trump should remember what writer
Daniel Greenfield
spells out in exquisite detail: “Hillary Clinton has never won an honest
election. And she isn’t about to start
trying to win one now. Her favorite kind of
race is rigged. Deeply unpopular and deemed
untrustworthy by huge numbers of voters, she
plans to win by panicking Republicans into
abandoning Trump to `save’ themselves. Her
weapon of choice is the media.” Greenfield continues, “Hillary doesn’t
want a fair fight. Or even an unfair fight.
She wants to cripple the GOP so it can’t
fight at all. It’s the ultimate rigged
election…. “The game has been rigged in all the
familiar ways, from media bias to voter
fraud, but only Republican defeatism can
hand her the White House.” |
