(She’s really out of control!): CLINTON COMPARES RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN ELECTION TO 9/11
I fully realise that I am constantly pitching fits about the Clinton Creature, but the reason I do that is because I think she’s dangerous and that she’s pushing to start some really big trouble that the plebs will end up paying for. Of course.
It’s the classes that don’t get the tax cuts that ‘pay’ for these wars of ours in both blood and treasure. The people to whom the Clinton Creature panders make money off war and they and theirs NEVER have to hit the front line. And like it or not, there are enough fools that believe her lies that she and her supporters have the power, as evidenced by this RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!!! bullshit, to completely tie up up the government in a fake scandal, which is costing the government big bucks, and is greasing the skids for the neocon/neo-liberal agenda of never-ending war and MIC/Wall Street dominance.
CLINTON COMPARES RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN ELECTION TO 9/11
Hillary Clinton has compared Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election and her subsequent loss to Donald Trump with the devastation of 9/11.
“We have really well-respected security and intelligence veterans saying this was a kind of cyber 9/11 in the sense that it was a direct attack to American institutions,” Clinton said, referring to the terrorist attack orchestrated by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Former US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton appears on stage following her talk at the London Literary Festival at The Royal Festival Hall on October 15, 2017 in London, England.
JACK TAYLOR/GETTY IMAGESClinton warned the threat to American democracy coming from Russia is not over and that the new cold war will be partially carried out through cyber attacks. “The Russians aren’t done, this is an ongoing threat and that is one of the reasons why I wrote the book and one of the reasons I’m talking about it," she said.
http://www.newsweek.com/clinton-compares-russian-interference-election-9...
This horrendous creature has absolutely no conscience. And she’s still the ‘face’ of the DNC. They keep backing up her lies. So there are no reasons (in my opinion) that would justify sending one dime or supporting any of ‘their’ candidates. Trump is the orange tiny-fingered shit gibbon in the proverbial china shop, Clinton is basically a walking disaster that is unsafe for human health.

At least
the Newsweek article you quoted used the word "alleged."
I'm seeing that more and more often, a few qualifiers here and there, and I think that means even the media are sensing there's no there there.
My husband and I went to see the movie, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House yesterday, and it was interesting and compelling. It made the point that it took a lot of sustained courage and effort, one piece of information at a time, to bring down Nixon. And the Deep State of course was not brought down then, nor even after Church's COINTELPRO hearings. But now we have the internet, and now we can look things up and see the connections. We're not going to give up on this.
She can try to make Putin the equivalent of the Saudi attack on 9/11, but it's not going to work.
it's certainly not going to work here,
nor will it work at a number of other better-informed sites. But corporate media (WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc.) continue to spout the Party line as if there were no other. We've a long ways to go yet.

@snoopydawg
Hey, Her's still got the Ace card of 9/11 to pull out and wave like a little flag. Remember that first debate in the Dem nom-nom-nom selection process, where Her pointed out how much good Her'd done for Wall St., getting money from President Bush for rebuilding after 9/11.
http://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2016/04/on-state...
Well, of course, there was this, showing that there was nothing wrong with Republican policy, since the Clinton Dems approved and had tried to initiate this privatization of SS earlier, only Bill got his Dick stuck between a cigar and a
hot facehard place:https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/10/30/how-monica-lewinsky-saved-social...
And I wonder if that $20 billion all went to her constituents, Wall St.? What else needed to be rebuilt in New York, other than the repair of some damage to presumably insured buildings around the heavily insured buildings brought down on 9/11? (I haven't looked into other damage requiring rebuilding, although there was certainly a lot of deadly dust from the vaporization of the Twin Towers, but those in the know didn't seem to be worried at all about that or the health damage sustained by those exposed.)
So, she paid off with a vote...
http://observer.com/2016/03/the-troubling-friendship-of-hillary-clinton-...
but I am curious as to what that $20 billion was spent on, how much went into helping affected New Yorkers and cleaning/repairing public property and how much went to help out Wall St. millionaires/billionaires who, one would think, had insurance.
Plus, I find it hard to imagine that there wasn't profit for Her in there somewhere, going by Her money-grubbing record of betrayal for cash.
(Edit: especially because it's all "I asked for, and got, the money"; Bush said "I gave them my word about the money.")
Does anyone know anything about this?

Hillary has totally convinced herself,
and much of the MIC, that Russia is largely to blame for her failure to win the US presidency. Listen to her! Anyone and anything that opposed her rightful coronation must have been working for the Russians. It's the only thing that makes sense. And if you don't believe it, then you are probably working for the Russians too -- even if you don't know it. Those Russians have always been a sneaky and evil lot, as is very well known here in the Land of the Free.
Just like that evil mastermind Julian Assange - clearly a Russian agent if there ever was one:
Well, so that settles it. HRC being the stalwart champion of Truth, Justice, and the American Way that she is, how could any red-blooded patriot fail to heed her dire warnings? Russia is out to get us all, it's as clear as day. Russia will not be satisfied until the entire structure of American Democracy is laid to waste -- just like Hillary's campaign was.
native
I don't think that Hillary really believes this bs
she knows that if there was any solid proof that Russia did anything to interfere with the election, the NSA and all those intelligence agencies she is fond of misquoting would have released it.
If she does actually believe this, then she should direct her anger at Obama for not doing anything to stop it. He said that he was aware of this, but he wanted McConnell to make a joint statement about. McConnell refused so Obama did nothing.
However, before he left office he said that there was no evidence that this happened. And as Linda stated in her comment, all we are seeing are the words alleged and the other words in that context.
Time after time there will be a headline that states: Russia hacked the Vermont energy grid, Russia hacked 21 states voting rolls, ect. But inside the article there is no definitive proof of anything. This is the well known play that makes propaganda work. Someone makes an accusation but then offers no proof that it happened. However, people read the headlines and skip over the words such as alleged.
My opinion is that Hillary is either just stringing her bots along and keeping the tabloid diaries on ToP on the wreck list, or she is spreading this propaganda so that the New McCarthyism makes people more acceptable for a war with Russia. Obama spread lies about Russia all during his tenure. He accused Russia of being aggressive in Ukraine, Syria and other countries when it was actually his administration doing these things.
Unfortunately the propaganda is working on the ToPbots. Every day there is a new accusation about Russian interference. Yesterday I learned that Facebook has destroyed democracy in America forever. And ever Amen. Good grief.
Another thing I have noticed while trolling ToP is that there is a flood of new users with one or two comments and their usernames have numbers in them. Frank1234 or Thelma4321. These types of names flood ToP in 2016 when Correct the Record was paying people to spread pro Hillary messages or combat anti Hillary comments.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?

Yuppers
Back then, even with the admission that David Brock was paying $1M + for trolls to "correct the record", I was admonished multiple times for stating, "this "person" has been her for 3 days and has 1,200 comments. Don't you think that is strange? "
I was threatened with banning for "trolling" new "users" and advised to stfu and pronto.

Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!

Stop the War!
I think the new members who have numbers in
their usernames is to help keep track of their comments. I didn't finish my thoughts. The reasons for the new numbered members is because she's using them to do the same things they did during the elections.
She might be using them to promote her new organization, which Obama belongs to, that is possibly being used for her next run for president. Or to keep the party from moving too far to the left.
Can anyone think of another explanation for why she would be paying people again?

I don't know what Hillary really believes,
or if she even believes anything. Obviously she is pretending to believe the anti-Russia hype, but probably only because she thinks it's politically advantageous for her to do so. HRC has the moral compass of a snake... nothing she says can be taken at face value, and there is always some sort of covert agenda behind her words. It seems to me that Hillary craves power and personal aggrandizement above all else, and that for her, politics serves merely as the sea in which she must swim, in order to attain them.
native
And you've summed up why Her lost nicely:
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Besides having a moral compass of a snake
she could just be getting high from seeing HerBots making fools of themselves by coming up with more stupid reasons for why she lost.
On my daily trolling, I can only laugh at the new reasons (or reality?) for why she lost.
I'd be laughing my ass off too seeing how far people will go to explain this.
Or seeing them get so excited about everything that Trump or Mueller does or says.
The Facebook destroying democracy forevah has got to be one of the dumbest things I've heard.
How many people don't even have a Facebook account and because of this, they never even saw one of the ads that Russia bought for $3,000? Aurg!
After I checked my mojo today, I clicked on a member of this site user's name and read her diary from before the ides of March.
This was on Hillary saying that she would focus on helping the poorer people who were on SS, that she might be open to some cuts and that she was open to raising the retirement age for some jobs.
This seems pretty straightforward, right?
Nope. This was one of the biggest pie fights I've seen. People said she was taken out of context, or they'd find a different article where she said she would defend SS. Big deal if it was from 2007

For her to choose that corporatist tool Kaine was just spitting on us to ensure we got the message. And that’s why i’m here. Just like the rest of us.
Poor Craig234. He sure didn’t last long. If he had just tried to converse rather than convert, he may have come to understand this place and the futility of coming here and pushing Al From/Bill Clinton’s Turd Way Koch-Brothers-financed Neo-liberal ‘New’ Democratic Party bullshit.

The democratic party....a slow 9/11 for the working stiffs
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/02/is-health-care-a-right had an article "Is Health Care a Right?" and in the middle he had an observation obliquely touching on why the election went the way it did. He speaks of a teacher wanting to bring the best out in all her students, no matter what level they could reach.
Atul Gawande in the 10/2/17 New Yorker" When she first started out as a teacher, she said, her most satisfying experiences came from working with eager, talented kids who were hungry for her help in preparing them for a path to college and success. But she soon realized that her class, like America as a whole, would see fewer than half of its students earn a bachelor’s degree. Her job was therefore to try to help all of her students reach their potential—to contribute in their own way and to pursue happiness on their own terms.
But, she said, by eighth grade profound divisions had already been cemented. The honors kids—the Hillary Clintons and Mitt Romneys of the school—sat at the top of the meritocratic heap, getting attention and encouragement. The kids with the greatest needs had special-education support. But, across America, the large mass of kids in the middle—the ones without money, book smarts, or athletic prowess—were outsiders in their own schools. Few others cared about what they felt or believed or experienced. They were the unspecial and unpromising, looked down upon by and almost completely separated from the college-bound crowd. Life was already understood to be a game of winners and losers; they were the designated losers, and they resented it. The most consistent message these students had received was that their lives were of less value than others’. Is it so surprising that some of them find satisfaction in a politics that says, essentially, Screw ’em all?"
Not too much different from the democratic, self defined meritocratic party.
book smarts
I know from personal experience that those who only possess the "book smarts" are also listed among the designated losers. Without money or athletic prowess, they (we) had no realistic shot at college, or were doomed to a life of failure laboring under student loan debts. In many cases, social pressures at school and at home resulted in less-than-optimal grades, especially when GPA-killing Physical Education enters into the mix. And, of course, the support we needed wasn't there; those who had a reasonable shot at a bachelor's degree -- those with money or athletic talent to cover the cash money bills -- were the ones who got it.

Was that before or after she broke her toe...
falling down the stairs. She blamed her fall on carrying coffee while wearing high heels and "running" down stairs.
'I was running downstairs in heels with a cup of coffee and fell backwards!': Hillary Clinton appears on British TV show to promote her book hobbling on crutches and wearing a protective boot after BREAKING her toe
Hahaha, I read that too.
Me thinks she hasn't run anywhere in a long time.
I caught a heel going down carpeted stairs at the symphony once. No coffee, no running, and no talking over my shoulder, but I had a date's arm to tighten my grip on, so I didn't fall.
But I would've fallen forward, not backwards like she said. Maybe she might have fallen back on her butt, and maybe broken a wrist if she fell backwards.
I think she stumped her toe. The more detailed a story, especially from someone like her, the less I believe it. Kinda reminds me of sniper fire.
Yeah, that doesn't make sense
How does one fall backwards when they are going forward? Did she do a twist while she was in the air? Seriously. This makes no sense unless she was going up stairs, but how does one break a toe doing that?
If she fell backwards, then wouldn't she have more easily broken her arm or wrist when she tried to catch herself?,
If it comes out that her story isn't true, that would start up the rumor mill. And just one more example of her lying for no reason. Bosnia sniper fire, anyone?
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
Somewhere someone said it was a "metatarsal"
which is not precisely a toe, but a bone connecting to the toe-bones. That can hurt like a b*tch and disable you for weeks - I ought to know. Acourse, you have to have been doing something really stupid to break one of those - like getting off your bicycle and catching your foot in the brake cable. Hard to see how Her could do that in the high heels she hasn't worn in years, falling "backwards" on stairs, and all the other yadayada.
Edit: Instead of all the bullhockey, why didn't she just say "I missed a step and oopsie!" Or is that not Drahmatick enough for Her?
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
@TheOtherMaven
Her's evidently trying to impress upon us all that the balance and other apparent health issues of concern so obvious during Her electoral fund-raiser cam-pain (in everyone's rump, head and ears) are no longer present, and far from continuing to fall over and hurt Herself (for a change from hurting others) and having to be helped up and down stairs, she's literally running around at home, routinely galloping downstairs in high heels, without spilling a drop of coffee. (I'd like to see Her do that in an Egg-and-Spoon race. Live-streamed, with no stand-ins.) Although she cannot change Her spots, where Her shows Her pathology.
Another sign that Her's running For Prezzie(s) again, or that the lunatic suggestion that Her should be
Coronatedappointed - like Her BFF Bush 2 - to simply replace Trump as President, is a thing among The Psychopaths That Be.Be afraid. Be very afraid. (Better yet, be very disgusted and mock hell out of them at every opportunity, while counteracting the propaganda as best we can, while we can still speak freely.)

Coulda been worse.
She could have said she was running on stairs in high heels to dodge Bosnian sniper fire. All while carrying a cup of coffee and typing on her Blackberry.
I thought about that when I read the
bit about ‘falling backward’. When I fall backward I end up on my ass or back with my toes sticking up in the air. And trust me, I fall frequently. I just got over a fall where my face hit the pavement because I was walking a dog and having a bad day and my leg was dragging. (I’ve had 10 strokes, but 8 were mini strokes, only the last two really count. And I have 2 herniated disks in my neck.) When my leg drug and I didn’t clear that elevation in the sidewalk and my foot hit it and I pitched forward I STUBBED MY TOE. I almost drove it clear up into my ankle. I fell forward, not backward.
Her story makes no sense to me.

@Amanda Matthews
Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear about all that! I do hope that you manage to avoid future strokes and that your neck isn't as painful and disabling as it sounds!
Plus, you are obviously right, and when I was having so much trouble on stairs, in great part due to highly variable balance issues, I always held the banister and tried to keep my weight back a bit to try to avoid ski-ing down on my face, should I pitch forward and be unable to catch myself, because that is the way your body goes. And if you went over backward, what on Earth are your toes going to hit, shooting straight out into space, like Hillary's mind? Her was probably in a mad rage, relieving Herself by kicking some of 'the help', and the SS Her's notorious for abusing would probably have a lot of hard muscle...
It's all 'optics' and 'framing' and 'public and private' PR (lies) to such as Her, and reality is of no consequence because Her generally manages to avoid any for Her own actions.
As bizarrely appalling as Trump is, the idea of the Clintons renting out rooms in the White House for cash and prizes and 'Getting Things Done' in the global subjugation process with lots of horrible deaths to keep Herself happy and amused makes my gut drop.

Mad rage.
Maybe she's a mad drunk?
At first I thought she stumped her toe, but hearing The Other Maven describe the actual bone upthread, I think she went into a foot stomping fit and did it that way. Might have been shitfaced too.
@WaterLily
Luckily, 'shitfaced' and 'in a mad rage' are not mutually exclusive, so I suspect that both of our bets are covered.

Did you catch the part
where she praised their excellent healthcare system? You know, the same one she said we couldn't have here.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
I caught that also
I guess she doesn't get 'irony'.
Quite why anyone would read her book or listen to her drone on/bullshit in the UK is beyond me.
And Swansea University named their law school after her. That's just odd??
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Swansea must have gotten a fat b/r/i/b/e/ donation
They better hope their loss of reputation was worth it.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
That thought had crossed my brain pan also
We're not talking Oxbridge here. Fairly obscure Welsh university agrees to honorary degree/name change/Clinton grandstanding in exchange for.....?

Maybe Her's buying a Chair in the Mythology Department, so it can be scientifically established that Her is the Destined Empress Of The Universe?

If even Yale will give a Saudi bigwig a horcrux for $10 million,
… I imagine the Clintons could stash a horcrux with an obscure university for a lot less than that.

Well then, how about all the plebs
kick in a few bucks to found a program of study? If we could scrounge up the bucks I wonder if Yale (or Harvard or Princeton or Bryn Mawr or Wellesley) would found a course of study on the disastrous effects Capitalism has had on the world? Or on the deleterious effect the Clinton’s and the DNC have had on life in America?
Just a thought.

@edg
Must be pretty skilled to fall backward on the stairs and break a toe. Unless she tripped on her claws, of course.
Edit: gawd, Her certainly makes my inner Dorothy Parker come out. Unfortunately, mine's only half as witty as the original...

“Her certainly makes my inner

I think my generations Dorothy Parker was Molly Ivins ( more political but with a wit as razor sharp.)

Oh, she'd have done such a fabulous taking-down of the Clintons - and been barred from journalism prior to expiating her sins by shooting herself several times in the back of the head or suffering one of those immediately murderous 'failed' robberies which have become so popular.
I have never thought of so many nasty things to say about anyone before Hillary's last failed (thank FSM!) Presidential attempt, being naturally prone more to making allowances for people - but Her is a corporate creature, rather than 'a people' and has so many nasty things to Her discredit that it's hard (impossible, really, considering the number of these and the unimaginable amount of damage done) to get them all out as a reminder of these evils, when Her keeps poking Her grasping claws into the public life Her seeks to further dismember for further increased personal profits and the sheer pleasure of causing pain.
Her isn't, unfortunately, the only one, but Her's the one thrusting Herself front to push the con job.
Edited to remove a space in the middle of (edit: a) word, and to add an explanatory passage I missed getting in there.

Although at least the ones I've left at least don't seem to grow...

Yet Hillary is overseas collecting an honorarium
"...The local reaction to Swansea University’s decision to give Clinton an honorary doctorate has been mixed to say the least.
Many voiced their opinions about aspects of Hillary Clinton’s record on Swansea University’s social media.
Hillary Clinton was booed and jeered among the cheers as she arrived today."
"After the former presidential candidate who has been touring the world with her new book What Happened outlining her reasons for losing the US election had darted back into the campus building, Kirsty Lloyd told The London Economic why she was protesting.
“She lost,” said the Welsh Biochemistry student. “Hillary Clinton cheated Bernie Saunders of his nomination. And all those drone strikes that killed women and children which are illegal contradict the reason she is being given a doctorate – which is for doing things for women and children all over the world. The main thing she’s done for women and children is kill them drone strikes.”
Yes this protester nailed it..."As Clinton turned away Kirsty Lloyd a Swansea student protesting the honour being conferred added: “only you could lose to Trump.”
I wandered into the comment section on Swansea's Facebook page, check them out many were brutally honest about her and their anger over naming anything after HER. I also posted a couple of links about Hillary on the FB page....https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/10/hillary-clinton-fracking_n_579...

Well, the first video started to play for a bit, then stopped and said it wasn't available. The second just became a white, blank space when I clicked on it; FB wouldn't let me see the University's FB page from either link, probably just because I'm not a member and don't even want to click on the 'not now' button; and the last link said 'sorry, that page does not exist'. Bit I can just imagine what the students would have had to say about the shameful prostitution of the heads of their institution to the Mad Bomber...

Edit: All worked
I actually only saw a pic gallery on the huffpo piece unless I got distracted lol (shocker they haven't taken that long piece down), and the 2nd link has a video I could only view by clicking the YouTube link in the video box.
Heading to 3rd link now.
Edit add: all 3 links, and videos I found within, worked.
Didn't you recently update your iOS? Might be that.
Nah, that was me. And my format
function is all messed up . EVERYTHING is in bold type. I don’t kniw what i’m doing anymore. And it wants to capitalize random words.

Did just get switched over to Linux Mint - but I'm in Canada, where Harper had told Google that there were things which Canadians shouldn't be allowed to see, resulting in info in 'sensitive' areas which was once easily available becoming hard/impossible to find, even searching on Duck Duck Go, and according to an Open Media petition I recently signed, Bell Canada has been in the closed-door NAFTA talks arguing for mandatory site blockage and 'copyright law' criminalization of ordinary Internet behaviours...

Since that's in NAFTA negotiations, (and dunno but I'd think it unlikely that the company came up with this 'trade deal demand' on their own, as censorship is typically a political objective and demanding such censorship be in imposed 'trade deal domestic law' can only lose them business and money) I'd suspect that it quite probable that it's being introduced though a Canadian branch of a US company in order to apply it throughout North America.
They're heading that way anyhow, and TPTB can probably blame it on 'Canada's demands for it' in PR, since it's a 'trade deal', that meaning to those involved that citizen/human rights can be traded away by some transient politician/corporate negotiator in return for whatever bribe - or threat - may have been offered, which is so obviously not legally/constitionally possible that I find it hard to understand how people think it can be made so.
If the right to abuse us for profit can be given by public officials to hostile self-interests simply by terming such private agreements 'trade deals, they'd better have a bill of sale to show that they personally own all of the people in the country, as well as the country itself.
In which case, they're in deep doo-doo, since slavery is illegal and the people of any country have never agreed to sell their country, belonging not just to them as a Commons, but to the people living there in perpetuity, entailed for those to come and therefore the birthright-as-Commons of future citizens as well.
We do not elect slave-masters or rulers, we elect public servants, paid by the public to administer public business and public property in the public interest.
