ClintonCreature weighs in on Tulsi - Update: She Responds!

Words cannot describe...

Hillary Clinton says Tulsi Gabbard is a 'Russian asset' groomed to ensure Trump reelection

Hillary Clinton said that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Moscow to run as a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020 to help President Trump win reelection.

The former secretary of state pushed the theory on the Campaign HQ podcast hosted by David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2008.

RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!

But wait, there's more!

"She is a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.

"They know they can't win without a third-party candidate, and so I do not know who it's going to be, but I can guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most need it."

She's never going away, is she?

UPDATE

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...

... concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and ...

... powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.
It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.

Ouch

Well that's a low blow ain't it? I read the diary and just laughed when after someone said it was bad form for Hillary to say that, the echo chamber piled on and asked where did she say that?

After spending two years bitching about sexism and misogynistic comments, the site has said some truly heinous things about Tulsi. Even today someone got called out for telling Herheinous to go away. Even though they never said anything close to it. Guys break your vow and read it. Now there is another one up that details every tiny thing wrong with Tulsi. Imagine someone posting that during the 2016 election. Bah bye faster than you can hit submit..

@snoopydawg

..... I thought that laurel was looking for images of good guys. And if David (the Michelangelo statue) corresponds to, say, Bernie, then Athena would be a pretty good correspondence to Tulsi, now wouldn't She?

And that Baphomet statue onto which Her Heinous' face was Photoshopped belongs to one of the least Hillary-like organizations on Earth, The Satanic Temple (TST). That particular statue is a symbol of TST's After School Satan program where high school kids can come together and learn to resist superstition, pseudo-science, and bullshit! The charter concepts of After School Satan explicitly prohibit use of the clubs for proselytizing:

in contrast to the Good News Clubs, our curriculum will focus on free inquiry, rationalism, and scientific understanding. Proselytization is not our goal, and we’re not interested in converting children to Satanism. However, we feel that our presence in schools that are burdened with the loathsome stink of the Good News Clubs serves an anti-indoctrination function, illustrating to children that opposing religious perspectives can be held by moral and responsible people who don’t live in fear of divine retribution. We think it’s a positive and strong character-developing lesson that we are happy to deliver.

source

I can't think of an organization Hillary would want less to be involved with than TST, who holds to these Tenets:

Tenets
There are seven fundamental tenets.

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

source

I honestly can't think of anything less like Her Heinous. Think about Tenet 6 for a moment:

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Now how would Her conduct Herself according to this Tenet? Something to think about.....

@thanatokephaloides . The two sculptures I posted are of David standing at the ready, tense but prepared to fight Goliath. The marble one is by Michelangelo, and I figured it's famous enough that people would recognize it. The other one is by Donatello, showing David a bit more true to what he actually was: a mere boy. The reason they came to mind is the basic nature of what Tulsi had entered into: a David v. Goliath scenario, a totally lopsided battle, David being a boy with only a stone and a slingshot, Goliath a giant. IOW, a scary situation in which the smaller party is very courageous to be doing such a thing voluntarily.

I'm sorry if the nudity of the sculptures disturbed anyone. I remember John Ashcroft had a statue in the capitol draped to cover its breasts. Really, when you look at them the least interesting detail in those two statues is the genitals. Perhaps the most interesting thing they have in common is the way the artists managed to convey David's courage, determination, and focus. They both look calm yet entirely tense. When I posted them I was pretty shook up about what Tulsi might be letting herself in for. In fact, it was the first time I've cried since learning of Ed Schultz's death. To me, Tulsi is like a female David.

@thanatokephaloides . It’s quite beautiful and certainly captures Tulsi’s strong, quiet, noble, warrior qualities. But when I posted the two David sculptures (Michelangelo’s fully grown version and Donnatello’s boy David) I was thinking of the power imbalance inherent in Tulsi’s David v. Goliath stance in taking on someone so rich and (still) powerful -- and the admiration and fear it evokes. David was a mere mortal like Tulsi, preparing to fight a giant, and his stance conveys steely determination as he stands at the ready armed only with only his stone and slingshot. To me, it’s like Tulsi’s situation. But that's a nice one of Athena, sometimes known as the warrior goddess.

It's interesting, the more one sees of Tulsi, the more tempting it is to put her on a pedestal because she really is a cut above, you just feel it. Probably not a good idea, but wow, tempting.

In this context, "asset" isn't a general abstraction, it's a technical term of art. To call either Stein (directly) or Gabbard (indirectly by syntactic association) a "Russian asset" comes very close to an actual charge of treason, as defined in the Constitution. This is not normal political discourse, not even on the wacked out level of Trump accusing members of the media of treason, under circumstances that clearly do not meet the definition.

Accusing a sitting member of Congress of treason is not okay, absent any evidence thereof.

She's still scorned with the bern of Tulsi calling out the DNC for their collusion when she quit their web of deceit. Tulsi would absolutely destroy Hillary in an one-on-one debate. Just as she has any of the other flaccid, empty corporate whores for whom she's already exhibited an amazingly focused, serene and righteous fighter's instinct to completely immobilize opponents.

The photo of the Trumps and Clintons is spot on.. it's a big club and we ain't in it.

The Green Party responded to Herheinous.

“Clinton has spent her entire career as an asset of Wall Street, the police state and war — the real dangers to everyday people in the United States and around the world,” Green Party communications manager Michael O’Neil said in a statement to Rolling Stone on Friday.

O’Neil, speaking on behalf of the Green Party, rejected Clinton’s logic Friday. “Clinton says ‘they can’t win again without a third party candidate’ when the reality is the Democrats and Republican’s cartel-like suppression of third parties and real democratic reforms like ranked choice voting and proportional representation corroded our politics to the point where a crooked, white supremacist, misogynist, fame-obsessed huckster like Donald Trump could connive his way into the White House.”

Never forget that Hillary had the media focus on Trump's campaign and they ended up giving him $2 billion in free advertising. Great move, Hillary!

@laurel

When Hillary was being considered for Secretary of State both Obama and congress told her to keep her foundation separate from her duties. Instead she blatantly ignored them and used her position to get money for it. Clinton Cash is a great book that describes how she took money from anyone or government that had business with her state department. Got a problem you need fixing? Just throw some money at the Clintons and she will fix it for you. And she did.

Among the most striking and troubling aspects of the Clinton System are the large contributions corporations and foreign governments have made to the Clinton Foundation, along with Bill Clinton’s readiness to accept six-figure speaking fees from some of them, at times when the donors themselves had a potential financial interest in decisions being made at Hillary Clinton’s State Department. An investigation published in April 2015 by Andrew Perez, David Sirota and Matthew Cunningham-Cook at International Business Times shows that during the three-year period from October 2009 through December 2012, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, there were at least thirteen occasions—collectively worth $2.5 million—when Bill Clinton received a six-figure speaking fee from corporations or trade groups that, according to Federal Government records, were at the time engaged in lobbying at the State Department.

These payments to Bill Clinton in 2010 included: $175,000 from VeriSign Corporation, which was engaged in lobbying at the State Department on cybersecurity and Internet taxation; $175,000 from Microsoft, which was lobbying the government on the issuance of immigrant work visas; $200,000 from SalesForce, a firm that lobbied the government on digital security issues, among other things. In 2011, these payments included: $200,000 from Goldman Sachs, which was lobbying on the Budget Control Act; and $200,000 from PhRMA, the trade association representing drug companies, which was seeking special trade protections for US-innovated drugs in the Trans-Pacific Partnership then being negotiated.

And in 2012, payments included: $200,000 from the National Retail Federation, which was lobbying at the State Department on legislation to fight Chinese currency manipulation; $175,000 from BHP Billiton, which wanted the government to protect its mining interests in Gabon; $200,000 from Oracle, which, like Microsoft, was seeking the government to issue work visas and measures dealing with cyber-espionage; and $300,000 from Dell Corporation, which was lobbying the State Department to protest tariffs imposed by European countries on its computers.

During Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, US defense corporations and their overseas clients also contributed between $54 and $141 million to the Clinton Foundation. (Because the foundation discloses a range of values within which the contributions of particular donors might fall, only minimum and maximum estimates can be given.) In the same period, these US defense corporations and their overseas government clients also paid a total of $625,000 to Bill Clinton in speaking fees.

This goes on detailing how many other times they got money. After Bill left office he got a loan from Chase IIRC for $2 million to buy a house. It cost $2 million and then he started getting paid by them to give speeches.. but the mortgage on it was $10,000 and it had a cottage on the property for the secret service to live in. Guess how much they charged the government for then to stay there? $10,000 a month. Yep. We paid for that. This seems apt....

IMG_0600_0.JPG

One reason Hillary used her private email server was so that people from their foundation could have access to it. Chelsea had to know where her mum was so she could send da there. Many times after Hillary got done making deals with foreign governments Bill would then show up to give a speech. No coincidences there though right?
The other thing that needs some attention is that countries like Sweden, Australia and many many more not only gave millions to her then, but are still doing it. Why? No one knows. I just recently read that Sweden is still giving them $50 million a year. Others have tried to stop doing it but... they are still doing it. Why? Reasons of course.

Aloha L —

Hillary Clinton just went on David Plouffe’s podcast and accused Tulsi Gabbard — a combat veteran, soldier and Major in the Army National Guard — of being “groomed” to be a “Russian asset”.

Tulsi's response:

When Tulsi said on that debate stage Tuesday night “when I look out at our country, I do not see deplorables, I see fellow Americans,” she was talking abou this. She was standing up to a corrupt party elite that holds exactly this kind of contempt for We, the People.

The utter disdain for the truth — and refusal to face their own failures and hypocrisy — shown by establishment warmongers and their corporate media lackeys is not only insulting, it’s a threat to our democracy. From media blackouts, to baseless smears about Tulsi’s religion and progressive record, to outright despicable attacks by the New York Times, CNN, Neera Tanden and now Hillary Clinton on Tulsi's loyalty to the country she risked her life to serve: Hillary Clinton and her establishment cronies have their knives out for Tulsi, using her as an example in their campaign to intimidate and silence those who dare to stand up for peace.

We can’t let them win. This outrageous attack is not just on Tulsi, it’s an attack on ALL of US — they are attacking Tulsi because she is calling for an end to the regime change wars and new Cold War that fuel the military industrial complex. If they can do this to Tulsi — a soldier, a veteran and a Congresswoman — they can do this to anyone who stands up for peace.

Don’t let them bully our people-powered movement into silence, L. Rush a $100 contribution right now so we can put it straight to work in getting Tulsi’s message against the divisive smear merchants in front of as many Americans as possible before the end of the weekend.

PITCH-IN $100 »

Here’s the truth: They are against Tulsi, against us, because they know they can’t control us.

They want a puppet in the White House who will blindly carry out their decades-long failed regime change foreign policy, who will maintain the corrupt and ineffective status quo.

Tulsi is not that candidate. She’s our candidate: The only candidate willing to take on the corrupt DNC elite who cost us the election in 2016. The only candidate who knows the cost of war, and is ready to serve as our commander in chief on Day One.

Will you help Tulsi fight back? She needs our help. Rush a $100 donation — or whatever you can afford right now — before the end of today.

Remember Mahatma Gandhi’s famous words: “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Let’s win this, L,

TULSI2020

She says what needs to be said, makes good points.

@pro left and though my monthly donations to Tulsi have been fairly modest, I went all out for Bernie in 2016 (more than I could afford), gave some to Tim Canova, and have been supporting Our Revolution, too.

First addresses Hillary's deplorables statement she made during the election had to be one of the biggest bone headed moves that's right up there with Romney dissing 47 percent of Americans. This goes back to the picture Mark posted of the Clintons and Trumps. But this really nails it.

The utter disdain for the truth — and refusal to face their own failures and hypocrisy — shown by establishment warmongers and their corporate media lackeys is not only insulting, it’s a threat to our democracy. From media blackouts, to baseless smears about Tulsi’s religion and progressive record, to outright despicable attacks by the New York Times, CNN, Neera Tanden and now Hillary Clinton on Tulsi's loyalty to the country she risked her life to serve: Hillary Clinton and her establishment cronies have their knives out for Tulsi, using her as an example in their campaign to intimidate and silence those who dare to stand up for peace.

The media has gotten away with saying the same types of things about Trump and the GOP. Calling McConnell Moscow Mitch and Graham Leningrad Lindsay is not only childish, but just as horrible as what Hillary said about Tulsi. The inmates are dead certain that we are under attack by Russia, but never acknowledging the truth about Israel interfering in our government as long as I can remember. Remember when Vlad went before congress and told them to vote against the president's bill on Iran? Or when the Russian lobby got congress to pass legislation on people who support BDS? Or is getting legislation passed so people can't talk favorably about Palestinians at universities? Oh wait... that is Israel who is doing this.

Every time Trump says or does something stupid the inmates say that he got his talking points from Putin. If the economy crashes they will blame it on Vlad because he wants the country to fail. And now they are against Trump wanting to bring the troops home and are in favor of the Syrian war continuing. I read some people's comments in absolute shock and wonder just what the hell happened to them. All I can think of is that they are so connected to Obama's legacy that they have lost touch with reality.

since I first heard her speak. At the moment though, I am questioning her ‘serving the country’ rhetoric, unless she clearly distinguishes between her military and social service. I’d rather she stick to speaking out about what doesn’t serve the country from a civilian perspective, where she is uniquely qualified because of her military service.

She knows that she was sent to war on false pretenses, but she doesn't talk about that when she talks about regime change wars. I'd like her to state unequivocally that we are in Syria without consent from the congress or UN.

One thing that I dislike is that she doesn't mention the people who have been killed by our illegal invasions. She only talks about her brothers and sisters who have been killed, bill never mentions the civilians who were. Then there's the fact that she willingly joined the military and knows from what she has seen in congress that no country has threatened ours which is the only reason countries get to go to war.

If I'm understanding you correctly?

while actively serving in the military as a freakin' officer, I think I might want to address that specifically on those grounds. That is some serious crap. Much more serious because of Gabbard's dual position as soldier and legislator.

In general, Tulsi does rely overmuch on her being a soldier and on her loyalty to other soldiers. I appreciate that being Commander in Chief is extremely important, but we don't want the Presidency defined solely in those terms. That can be a bad road to go down.

If I were running her campaign, I would not so much stop talking about her military service, or how that would make her a better President in these times, as I would add more talk about her life as a civilian and talk about her as a citizen loyal to her fellow Americans (her talk against the "deplorable" meme would fit right in that).

Obama sent emails to her on her private server long before he told us that he just found out about it from the press. He's very complicit in hiding the fact that she was using it.

This article is interesting.

Newly released documents from the FBI suggest that the Obama White House pushed intelligence agencies to publicly blame the Russians for email leaks from the Democratic National Committee to Wikileaks.

In other words, it looks like the Obama White House put its thumb on the scale, pressuring intelligence agencies to adopt the Democratic National Committee’s talking points, i.e., to blame the stolen emails on Russian hackers rather than an internal source (like Seth Rich). Thanks to Roger Stone, we now know that neither the FBI nor anyone else from the U.S. government actually examined the DNC servers that supposedly were hacked. Instead, the FBI, et al. relied exclusively on a redacted report from CrowdStrike, a private security company with strong Democratic affiliations that was hired by Perkins Coie, the same firm that hired Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS.

The FBI only got a redacted report from CrowdStrike that wasn't even completed. You would think that if they were going to ramp up McCarthyism that they would at least look at the computers. Oh wait...if they had then they would have to lie to us. Since when has this bothered them?

Did anyone see my comment on how Seth might have been working with Israel? Yep. Do a search for it and see what you find. I find that interesting.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/18/clinton-emails-investiga...

38 ... current and former state department officials ... were “culpable” in 91 cases of sending classified information that ended up in Clinton’s personal email ... there were no findings of deliberate mishandling of classified information ... found a total of 588 violations involving information then or now deemed to be classified but could not assign fault in 497 cases ... culpability means the violations will be noted in their files and will be considered when they apply for or go to renew security clearances. For current officials, there could also be some kind of disciplinary action. But it was not immediately clear what that would be...
The report concluded “that the use of a private email system to conduct official business added an increased degree of risk of compromise as a private system lacks the network monitoring and intrusion detection capabilities of state department networks”.

@WoodsDweller

that came out a year or two ago that said China might have hacked into Hillary's server? We were supposed to hear more about that after the investigation was completed. We haven't. Another thing is that the FBI office in NYC found every one of Hillary's emails on Weiner's laptop and the officers said they were sickened by their contents. They were hinting at finding some horrible pictures of children on it. But just that fact that they were on a laptop outside of her control would have gotten anyone else charged with some severe charges.

One thing about those emails though is that they have been classified after the fact. But just think about how Hillary was able to run for president whilst she was under investigation by the FBI. And that the person in charge of it met with her husband the previous president. Oh yeah..we found out that Comey had originally said that she had been grossly negligent in handling her emails. Think anyone else would have gotten away with that? Grossly negligent is what many people get charged under the espionage act for. Imagine that...

She sent were classified out of the 30,000 that she submitted. But what about the ones that congress had subpoenaed but she deliberately deleted? If the guy who is looking into this doesn't look at Weiner's laptop to see what is on it then I'm calling this a coverup for Hillary. She broke the rules and possibly the law. But yet she is free to throw crap at anyone she feels like.

@snoopydawg Yep, Tulsi WAS chosen, must have been vetted, by the DNC - what happened??? Tulsi saw, as we ALL did at the convention, the backstabbing from the Hillary gang. And to see Bernie at the convention, obviously in much mental pain, give in to that onslaught was painful for me and thousands at the convention and at home watching. It took a while but paybacks are a bitch - huh Hillary? Tulsi took her military training well - when under attack take cover first - then launch a counter attack when possible, that attack has now come...

Actually, he's lying when he says that he's never seen anyone at Hillary's level say anything like this. George W. Bush and his supporters said this about anybody opposing Iraq. Remember this?

I'm glad Tucker decries the McCarthyite nonsense, but his party does not have clean hands on that subject. The Democrats are relatively new to this game.

She is an asset of the CIA and those economic and military interests for which the CIA works. She was recruited in 1968. She infiltrated Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign. She was groomed watching the Black Panthers. She was eventually assigned with another asset, Bill Clinton.

that few soldiers low enough rank to be under Tulsi's command give two shits what Hillary Clinton thinks.

And yes, I know Major is pretty far up the chain of command. What I'm trying to get at is only the top echelons of the military would have a chance of being on the same page as Clinton.

that if Tulsi were to somehow win the nomination, all those followers of the warmongering establishment Democrats would immediately become #NeverTulsi fanatics, and would vote for ... well, I don’t know what would fit their demands except maybe Trump, if he’s sufficiently warlike. And the irony would be completely lost on them.
