Damned by a corrupt system, it appears voters will be given a choice between Hillary Clinton and her friend Donald Trump this year, with no realistic alternative allowed by corporate media and their establishment patrons.
I say “friend” because the Clintons and Trumps have a relationship going back for years.
Seeing Trump as their enemy, many liberals are opining that Hillary is the lesser evil, saying they will vote for her.
I am not so sure
Hilary’s the lesser evil. I told friends years ago that I thought she would be the next president. Long before she announced she would run again, corporate media repeatedly suggested her inevitability, tipping off that the establishment is firmly behind her by pushing her candidacy.
The establishment wants her badly, as she may be counted on to sell out the environment, enrich defense cheats and give the banksters direct access to the treasury among other corrupt things
indicated by the Clinton past. After her husband sold out the poor and working classes during his presidency, Bill and Hillary got rich from corporate speeches, the preferred delayed bribe for official corruption in The Land of the Free, in this case amounting to over a hundred million dollars for the pair.
Even Republicans are saying they will
vote for her instead of Trump. Because she is to the right of Richard Nixon, this will not be difficult for them (compare what Bill Clinton signed into law to
Nixon’s bills, and there is no contest – all the while Hillary claiming the American people got two for the price of one).
As for The Donald, he’s often boasted that he rented Hillary’s vote when she was a New York senator, through several campaign donations (his son also contributed). Trump also donated to her 2008 presidential campaign when she ran against Obama. He calls her “Crooked Hillary,” and you can bet he will campaign hard against her with that slogan.
Not that they’ve been enemies.
On the Daily Show last year, Bill Clinton said of Trump, “He thought Hillary was a good senator for New York after 9/11 and he has actually, he’s one of the many Republicans who supported our foundation before they got the memo.”
A picture search shows Bill Clinton with his
golf buddy Trump, Bill and Hillary
posing beside Donald and his wife Melania, and even daughters Chelsea and Ivanka as
close friends, although, like their parents, they are not socializing
during the campaign, as part of the insider scam to convince voters that the Democrats and Republicans are somehow not connected.
National archives
released last month show that when President, Bill Clinton posed with Trump at Trump Towers for a photo shoot, and Trump made several visits to the White House though we may never know what was on the table. Trump would perform a magnificent public service if he disclosed what deals were made, but one wonders if he’d go to prison with the Clintons were such disclosures made.
One is reminded that, during the 2008 presidential campaign, Bill Clinton, thinking his wife was going to win the Democratic nomination, remarked that he didn’t know how she was going to run against her close friend John McCain. It’s happening again, with corporate media playing their usual role of not noticing that both candidates are vying to see who gets to sell out the working class on behalf of a stifling plutocratic oligarchy.
Corporate media pretends like the Democrats and Republicans are at each other’s throats, but it should be obvious to anyone who digs a bit beyond the propaganda, that they are in bed with each other and represent the same interests – selling out the American people, primarily for money.
Rupert Murdoch’s
New York Post has
endorsed Trump, but the right wing billionaire gave a big fundraiser for Hillary Clinton when she ran in 2008, so it’s all one happy family. The billionaires and transnational corporations make sure both sides are obligated in what corporate media play up as “free and fair elections.”
The polls reveal that Hillary and The Donald are two of the most unpopular candidates imaginable, with most Americans
despising both. The two have appeared on television more than all other candidates combined, so they’ve been largely catapulted to the top by the corporate media, who pretend to be objective journalists.
Has anyone seen Jill Stein at all on television? Polling shows she is for bringing the troops home and shutting down the wars, just like what the American people say they want in polling. Corporate media is making certain she is hidden behind the curtain, as they whine that they just don’t understand how such unpopular candidates as Clinton and Trump have become finalists.
Will Trumps and Clintons go back to being friends after the election? Probably not, as it looks like this battle will be the biggest mud fight in US presidential history, the only certainty that someone extremely unpopular will win the right to sell us out.
