The Twisting Noose
By

When I think about the slow and inexorable––but,
of course, inevitable––political demise of Hillary
Clinton, I am reminded of T.S. Eliot’s poem, “The
Hollow Men,” which ends with this haunting refrain:
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Hillary’s whimper, it seems
clear, will come with an impotently furious last
gasp, as the noose that Barack Obama has placed
around her neck tightens and tightens and tightens
until all we hear is her spasmodic cough, a few
hoarse protestations, and a final pitiful bleat––and
not the ear-splitting assault of
“that voice,” which I described in a previous
article.
How could this happen to the woman who former
Democrat House Ways and Means Committee Chairman and
convicted felon Dan Rostenkowski called “the
smartest woman in the world”?
No doubt it started at
Wellesley College where Hillary, born to a family of
Republicans and an avid supporter herself of the1964
arch-conservative presidential candidate Barry
Goldwater, as well as the president of the Wellesley
College chapter of College Republicans, was
irresistibly attracted to the writings of radical
leftist Saul Alinsky, of
Rules for Radicals fame, who she wrote her
thesis about and also kept in close touch with for
years after she graduated.
At her graduation in 1969,
Republican Senator Edward Brooke delivered a
stirring and enthusiastically received commencement
address. Hillary––whose graduation speech
followed––exhibited a shocking display of rudeness
when she slammed the first black senator to
be elected to the U.S. Senate. It would not be the
last time she displayed a remarkable aptitude for
alienating an audience.
At Yale Law School, she hooked her wagon to the
star of fellow student Bill Clinton, and when the
roguish good ole boy became governor of Arkansas,
Hillary served 12 years as the state’s First Lady,
racking up an impressive list of scandals of her
very own. The short list includes:
-
A
$100,000 windfall from cattle futures after
a $1,000 investment (all the money she had in
her account at the time).
-
The
Castle Grande real estate scam.
-
Her role as attorney for the Rose law firm in
what would become the putatively criminal
Whitewater affair that would follow her to
the White House.
-
The serial philandering of her husband in which
she was either a willing collaborator or, as
Donald Trump has said, an “enabler.”
THE SCANDAL QUEEN
MOVES UP
Within months of taking up residence in the White
House as First Lady of the United States, Hillary
put her scandal expertise to work. In May 1993, she
was accused of having a central hand in firing
several long-time employees of the White House
Travel Office in order to give the pricey travel
business to her Hollywood pals. A couple of months
later, in July 1993, White House Deputy Counsel
Vince Foster was said to have committed suicide,
although the case for
this murder has been made persuasively by,
among others, Newsmax.com founder Christopher Ruddy,
in his 1993 book,
“The Strange Death of Vincent Foster: An
Investigation.”
But the case didn’t end
there. In 1996, Hillary was accused by the Senate
Special Whitewater Committee of ordering the removal
of potentially damaging files related to Whitewater
from Foster’s office on the night of his death.
Hillary denied everything, once again proving her
adeptness in dodging accountability. But even today,
Cliff Kincaid, in a must-read article, writes that
Something Stinks: The “Fishy” Vince Foster Case.
“Trump, if elected president, could order a new
investigation,” Kincaid says. “Such a probe might
show media complicity in the cover-up…”
During those years, Hillary vacillated between
corruption and incompetence. When her devoted
husband put her in charge of healthcare reform, she
blew $13 million but couldn’t even get a Democrat
Congress to pass the hated bill, in spite of the
usual threats and intimidation.
She chose Janet Reno as Attorney General, which
her devoted husband called “my worst mistake.”
Her other choices–of Lani Guinier to head the
Civil Rights Commission, Webb Hubbell for the
Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House
staff, William Kennedy for the Treasury Department,
Craig Livingstone to be Director of White House
security––all resulted in failure, ignominy, or
scandalous controversy.
And her vengeful pursuit of
the women––including but not limited to Gennifer
Flowers, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen
Willey, and Elizabeth Ward Gracen––who accused her
devoted husband of rape or sexual harassment has now
been documented by Candace E. Jackson in her book,
Their Lives – The Women Targeted by the Clinton
Machine. That pursuit was so wildly successful
that it resulted in her devoted husband losing his
license for “lying under oath” to a grand jury and
his subsequent impeachment by the House of
Representatives.
Not to forget the Clinton campaign-finance
scandal of the late 1990s in which millions of
dollars of illegal Chinese campaign cash found its
way into Democrat Party and Clinton legal defense
fund coffers, and, worse, American missile- guidance
technology was given to Beijing. This outrage cannot
be blamed solely on the Hillary’s devoted husband
because he told us himself that with Hillary we were
“getting two for the price of one.”
Oh…and this little factoid: After leaving the
White House, Hillary was forced to return an
estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china,
and artwork that she had stolen.
In addition, Hillary’s co-presidency brought
about the fall of more elected and appointed
members, as well as “friends” who met untimely
deaths, were indicted, pleaded the fifth, fled the
country, and were imprisoned, than in any
administration in American history.
STILL LUSTING FOR
POWER
Besotted by the power
she experienced as consort to the big kahuna Bill
Clinton, Hillary decided to carpetbag her way to a
senate seat in New York, with plans to spend as few
years as possible as a junior senator before
claiming what she believed was her rightful place in
history as the first female president of the United
States of America.
Granted, she had to overcome a number of
unfortunate personality traits. It had been decades
since she was labeled “Sister Frigidaire” in her
high school newspaper, but her image of being cold,
robotic and inaccessible never seemed to go away. As
writer Tim Cavanaugh said, “Plainly put…she still
lacks a key quality that a politician can’t achieve
through hard work: likeability.”
Her senatorial campaign involved spinning the
yarn that she was a long-time NY Yankees fan,
assuring upstate conservative voters that she
“cared” about their jobs, informing the large
liberal base of NY City Jewish voters that she was
part Jewish (endearing, coming from the wife of the
first black president), and convincing the Chasidic
New Square community in Rockland County (that had
formerly voted overwhelmingly for arch-conservative
Sen. Alfonse D’Amato) to vote 99 to 1 for her.
Never mind that two months after her election in
2000, she pardoned four residents of New Square who
had been convicted of defrauding the federal
government, an act not quite as egregious as her
husband’s attempt to win her New York’s Hispanic
vote by pardoning 16 members of the FALN terrorist
group who had planted over 130 bombs in the U.S.,
killed six people, and injured 70.
But New York’s bleeding-heart liberals voted for
the woman wronged by her predatory husband and his
paramour Monica Lewinsky, and Hillary won the
election, promptly relocated to the Empire State,
and moved into an upscale house financed by the
former chairman of the Democratic National
Committee. That would be the current governor of
Virginia, one Terry McAuliffe, who just the other
day was targeted by a federal investigation looking
at donations to his gubernatorial campaign made by a
man called Wang, a man he said he was “not even
sure” he had met. According to Chuck Ross of
The Daily Caller:
Hillary Clinton met Chinese billionaire Wang
Wenliang, whose involvement with Virginia Gov. Terry
McAuliffe is at the center of an FBI investigation,
during a Sept. 30, 2013 fundraiser at her Chappaqua,
N.Y. home, according to
an explosive new report from
Time. Less than a month after that fundraiser, in
which Clinton and Wang reportedly shook hands, the
businessman made a $500,000 donation to the Clinton
Foundation. He would end up giving a total of $2
million to the Clinton charity, which is a major
source of controversy for the Democratic
presidential front-runner.
Mmmmmm.
LIMITLESS AMBITION
After an
undistinguished first term in the senate, Hillary
ran again for the senate in 2006, and won. Two years
later, she embarked on a run for the U.S.
presidency, a race she lost to Barack Obama.
Two particular incidents
stand out in that race. The first is when Bill
Clinton, speaking to the late Massachusetts Senator
Ted Kennedy about Obama,
remarked: “A few years ago, this guy would have
been getting us coffee.” He followed that remark by
telling Kennedy that “the only reason you are
endorsing him is because he’s black. Let’s just be
clear.”
The second revealing remark
took place during the final debate of the New
Hampshire campaign. Richard Cohen’s
description of that exchange is excruciating:
After [Hillary] Clinton had good-naturedly
responded to a question about what is sometimes
called her “personality deficit”––”Well, that hurts
my feelings”––she went on to concede that Obama is
“very likeable.” Obama responded with a curt “You’re
likeable enough, Hillary.”
Right there and then, the hatred between the
Clintons and the Obamas was etched in stone. But
they still needed each other: Obama for the vast
resources, connections and money sources the
Clintons had access to, and the Clintons for the
still-alive ambitions they harbored to someday
reclaim the White House, no doubt to satisfy their
seemingly insatiable lust for power.
Ann Coulter has recently
described that mutual hatred in a
must read every word article. Here, in a mere
tidbit, is Coulter’s premise:
Barack Obama “hates Hillary Clinton and
always has…Valerie Jarrett also hates Hillary…Obama
adores his vice president, Joe Biden…He knows that
Hillary can’t beat Trump… Who more perfectly
encapsulates white privilege than Hillary Clinton?
Obama resented her campaign and resented Bill
Clinton’s not-so-coded racism. …if Hillary were
elected, she’d undo everything he’s done…what if
Obama could contrive to give the nomination to a guy
he likes?”
Coulter suggests that FBI Director James Comey
might recommend that Hillary be indicted, that Obama
denounces Comey’s report, that Jarrett gets on the
phone to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and says:
“Disregard everything [Obama] is saying about Comey,
if you get my meaning, Loretta…”, and then Lynch
indicts Hillary, with Obama pretending that his
hands are tied.
As for Hillary, Coulter says that when the
Clintons retreat to Chappaqua…they’ll find that “the
going rate for a guy whose wife is about to be
president is much higher than for an aging rapist
whose wife is facing criminal charges.”
FOLLOW THE MONEY
I believe that going
back to the 1940s, the White House has had total––or
near total––control over the media and the so-called
news of the day. This is why every major network and
most if not all cable shows echo the exact same
“news” to their viewers, often with identical
language
For the most part, the media lean left, which is
particularly ironic given that the moguls who
control the news are mega-millionaires and often
billionaire businessmen and women who live and die
by capitalism. But as we’ve seen with Barack Obama’s
IRS (and the FEC, FCC, et al), the federal
government has awesome punitive powers, so clearly
it’s quite easy to extort money from the rich.
But I digress. Have you noticed that after almost
four decades of getting away with the most egregious
abuses of power, a number of incidents have seemed
to happen all at once to bring Hillary down?
Consider the “coincidental” events of just the past
few weeks:
-
Leaks to the media that James Comey is about to
suggest she be indicted. Twist of the noose.
-
Front page headlines that her closest and most
trusted aides, Sheryl Mills and Huma Abedin,
will be deposed by Comey & Co. Twist of the
noose.
-
Increasing talk that Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
who my friend calls “the snarling head” of the
Clinton-controlled Democratic National
Committee, will soon be booted. Twist.
-
Atypically aggressive questions by the Clinton
bought-and-paid-for media, members of which
always treated the couple with kid gloves and
the softest of softball questions. Twist of the
noose.
-
A resurgence of interest in and information
about the Benghazi murders of four Americans
under Hillary’s none-too-watchful watch. Twist
of the noose.
-
The release of a
blistering report by the State Department’s
Inspector General that, according to Dick Morris
and Eileen McGann in “TheHillaryDaily.com,”
reveals that Hillary’s emails [contain] evidence
that the private email server that carried
America’s top secret information to and from the
Secretary of State was installed, maintained,
and partially operated by a civilian aide to
Bill Clinton who lacked any security clearance
and did not even work for the government.”
Double twist of the noose.
-
News,
reported this week by bestselling author and
journalist Jerome Corsi, that “The Obama
administration continues to suppress at least 12
versions of a 451-page draft indictment charging
Hillary Clinton with criminal misconduct in the
Whitewater case,” and which also includes such
charges as “criminal cover-up; destroying legal
files regarding the fraudulent transaction,
lying under oath to federal investigators,
including the FDIC and Congress; removing
incriminating records from Vince Foster’s office
after his death; and destroying other records,
including Rose Law Firm records that would
provide incriminating evidence against Clinton
and [Webb] Hubbell in the Whitewater scandal.
Ooooh…triple twist!
-
A damning article by Scott Powell, managing
partner of RemingtonRand LLC, who
writes an article, the title of which says
it all: “James Comey: Enforcing the Law Requires
Indicting Hillary.” Addressing the e-mail
scandal, Powell spells out the many violations
Hillary committed, including: “the use of an
unsecure private email server for conducting
State Department business [with] reckless
disregard of the security interests of the
United States and [the violation of] some ten
federal statutes. Several are national
security-related felonies, just three of which
include: 1) disclosure of classified information
(22 of which documents were Top Secret); 2)
unauthorized removal and retention of classified
documents; and 3) destruction of evidence
(erasure of the hard drive and deletion of some
30,000 emails by Secretary Clinton), after a
government investigation had commenced (Benghazi
hearings began October 10, 2012).”
-
Powell continues: “Hillary Clinton has been an
integral part of the Clinton Foundation, which
is unprecedented in size and global scope as an
influence peddling political slush fund.
According to the foundation’s own recent tax
returns, just 10% of expenditures go to
charitable grants, with the bulk of the
expenditure balance spent on salaries and
benefits, lavish life-style travel and
conference organizing. The record shows that the
Clinton Foundation took large contributions from
several business magnates who soon thereafter
received clearance for controversial
international business deals. Saudi Arabia
contributed $10 million to the Clinton
Foundation before Hillary became secretary of
state. A few years later the Hillary Clinton
State Department formally cleared the largest
single sale of military aircraft to the Saudis.”
According to Peter
Schweizer, author of “Clinton
Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign
Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and
Hillary Rich,” the shocking pardon Bill
Clinton granted to international fugitive Marc Rich
on January 20, 2001 (Clinton’s last day in office)
was “perhaps the most condemned official act of
Clinton’s political career.”
“But while the pardon was
a political mistake,” Schweizer
writes, “it certainly was not a financial one.
In the years following the scandal, the flow of
funds from those connected to Marc Rich or the
pardon scandal have continued to the Clintons. Rich
died in 2013. But his business partners, lawyers,
advisors and friends have showered millions of
dollars on the Clintons in the decade and a half
following the scandal.”
THE NOOSE FACTOR
Sounds like all this is
being orchestrated directly from the White House,
doesn’t it? Now that Barack Obama, his capo Valerie
Jarrett, his in-house liar Ben Rhodes, his
spokes-toady Josh Earnest, and Muslim Brotherhood
operatives with whom he has seeded every department
of our government, have all realized that Hillary is
on her last legs and that Trump will crush her as he
did 16 formidable primary opponents, the urgent goal
is to bring her down––and to replace her with the
quasi-demented VP Joe Biden and the fake Cherokee
Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
All in the fervent hope that these lily-white,
American-born politicians will carry on his legacy,
the top two priorities of which appear to be that
men who “feel” like women and women who “feel” like
men can use bathrooms that comport with their
feelings and not their anatomies, and that the
genocidal mullahs in Iran be given enough time,
money, and duplicitous spin to launch nuclear
weapons against Israel, the U.S., and the other
western nations they so revile.
To confirm the suspicion that Central Command for
Hillary’s downfall is the Oval Office, here is
recently-resigned Speaker of the House John Boehner
in full speculation mode early in May: “Don’t be
shocked … if two weeks before the convention, here
comes Joe Biden parachuting in and Barack Obama
fanning the flames to make it all happen.”
It looks like Barack Obama
bet on the wrong horse. He followed the usual
high-stakes game plan––keep your friends close but
your enemies closer––by making Hillary Sec. of
State, knowing of her overweening ambitions for the
presidency and counting on her to win and continue
his legacy of government control over the stupid
masses through socialized medicine and education,
the fetish of diversity and multiculturalism, the
hoax of climate change, abolition of the 2nd
Amendment, and especially the metastasis of Islam
and Sharia Law throughout the West.
But in spite of the rigged super-delegate system
by which Hillary would ascend to a nomination while
losing the vast majority of the primary and caucus
contests to Sen. Bernie Sanders, it looks like her
expiration date is fast approaching. As Ann Coulter
suggested, it may just be Loretta Lynch who delivers
the last twist.
