Hillary Clinton goes off on Greenpeace activist: (Updated)

I'm sure many of you are aware by now, Hillary has gone and done it again. She has introduced Mrs. Foot, to metaphorical Mr. 45, and pulled the trigger. This latest video clip of her yelling about how she is sick and tired Senator Sanders campaign blah blah, and sticking her thumb in a voter's face, and my gosh, the tone in her voice. Wow, just WOW!

Shoot, by the time we get to the GE, and if she is the democratic nominee, who ever the republican nominee is, well, they can just play one cringe worthy clip after another. Twenty years worth. Heck, this might even be the most "cost" effective campaign in history, because one can just grab video's from youtube and blow a wad of cash promoting it on social media. Hell of a lot cheaper than spending big bucks on air time, no?

From Salon:

At a Clinton rally on the State University of New York at Purchase campus, Eva Resnick-Day, an activist with the environmental justice group Greenpeace, asked Clinton, “Will you act on your word to reject fossil fuel money in the future in your campaign?”

Clinton quickly lost her patience. Her smile promptly morphed into a scowl and she yelled at the environmental activist, “I do not — I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies.”

“I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me,” Clinton shouted, pointing angrily at Resnick-Day. (Gee, isn't Resnik-Day, with Greenpeace?)

Here's a video from Ring of Fire Radio's Youtube Channel:

This past Sunday, Senator Bernie Sanders blasted Hillary Clinton for her ties to Wall Street and Big Pharma, calling her campaign’s dependence on Wall Street money donations “obscene.” Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
(And fossil fuel industries, I added that)

From HuffingtonPost:

“It is obscene that Secretary Clinton keeps going to big-money people to fund her campaign,” Sanders said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The senator added that Clinton “has now raised well over $15 million from Wall Street for her super PAC, and millions more from the fossil fuel industry, and from the drug companies.”

The former secretary of state is scheduled to hold a campaign event next month in San Francisco. Clinton is asking for $353,400 for two seats at a table with herself, actor George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney.

That's pretty obscene to me. Think about that. What kind of society have we created where people are willing to pay over 300K, three hundred thousand fucking dollars, to sit at a table with a couple of other people? That, to me, is a sickness, a mental illness. We have millions living in extreme poverty here in the US, and Mrs. Clinton wants to raise more money for her campaign to become the most powerful person in the world. Which, as much as she sucks up to Bibi, we'll be bombing Iran post haste, maybe in the 1st 100 days of her administration? OMG, what a nightmare to think about.

H/T to geebeebee for this,
from Vice News:

The bulk of fossil fuel industry contributions to Priorities USA Action came from two donors. Donald Sussman, the founder and chairman of Paloma Partners, donated $2.5 million. His hedge fund is invested in energy companies like Phillips 66, AGL Resources, and Occidental Petroleum. David Shaw, chief scientist at D.E. Shaw Research, a computational biochemistry research company, gave some $750,000 to the Clinton-affiliated PAC. He also donated $50,000 to Clinton's Ready PAC, formerly known as Ready for Hillary. Shaw served on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) under presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. His investment management firm D.E. Shaw & Co., LP has major holdings in Marathon Petroleum Corporation.

As well as holding substantial assets in oil and gas, Shaw is also an investor in solar energy projects and an ambitious offshore wind project in New England. Greenpeace said that the split in such investments signals a concerning incongruity in interests, especially given Shaw's role in PCAST, which has previously submitted recommendations to the president to continue efforts to decarbonize the economy and invest in renewable energy.

Of course there is this from MotherJones:

One icy morning in February 2012, Hillary Clinton's plane touched down in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, which was just digging out from a fierce blizzard. Wrapped in a thick coat, the secretary of state descended the stairs to the snow-covered tarmac, where she and her aides piled into a motorcade bound for the presidential palace. That afternoon, they huddled with Bulgarian leaders, including Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, discussing everything from Syria's bloody civil war to their joint search for loose nukes. But the focus of the talks was fracking. The previous year, Bulgaria had signed a five-year, $68 million deal, granting US oil giant Chevron millions of acres in shale gas concessions. Bulgarians were outraged. Shortly before Clinton arrived, tens of thousands of protesters poured into the streets carrying placards that read "Stop fracking with our water" and "Chevron go home." Bulgaria's parliament responded by voting overwhelmingly for a fracking moratorium.

Clinton urged Bulgarian officials to give fracking another chance. According to Borissov, she agreed to help fly in the "best specialists on these new technologies to present the benefits to the Bulgarian people." But resistance only grew. The following month in neighboring Romania, thousands of people gathered to protest another Chevron fracking project, and Romania's parliament began weighing its own shale gas moratorium. Again Clinton intervened, dispatching her special envoy for energy in Eurasia, Richard Morningstar, to push back against the fracking bans. The State Depart­ment's lobbying effort culminated in late May 2012, when Morningstar held a series of meetings on fracking with top Bulgarian and Romanian officials. He also touted the technology in an interview on Bulgarian national radio, saying it could lead to a fivefold drop in the price of natural gas. A few weeks later, Romania's parliament voted down its proposed fracking ban and Bulgaria's eased its moratorium.

This Mother Jones article is deeply revealing about how she ran our State Department, ahem, a front organization for big oil, spreading the gospel of fracking and letting big oil in on the profits, at the expense of the people of other nations. How's that for human rights advocacy? I'm sure Mrs. Clinton was thinking about those women and children's rights in those countries whose laws are being repealed for big oil to make more money, and continue down the fossil fuel energy exploitation and consumption path. Along with the TTP as the gold standard.

H/T To FreakFlagFly for posting Senator Sanders Press Release in the comments below!

H/T to wmholt for Link to the Hill.com about Greenpeace's Response

greenpeaseresponse.jpg

Conflating a Greenpeace activist with Senator Sanders campaign, and claiming Senator Sanders campaign is out right lying. Hello, eliminate healthcare as we know it lady? We really are living in a fricking bizarro universe. That is just bat shit, republican crazy is it not? What is really scary is all the hillarybots that believe it. YIKES!

I leave you with something powerful and inspirational.

Of course and then there this, Mother Nature's delegate anointing Senator Sanders her preferred candidate for the Democratic Party. Can't get any better endorsement than that.

I final thought...about the crisis we face together...

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. — Thomas Paine — The Crisis

Apologies for a hit and run non-essay earlier. This was fast developing and I wasn't able to dedicate time to it. I haven't worked in like forever, but out of the blue, my oral surgeon called me and asked if I could make him a video for a Dental thing happening this weekend in Dallas. (I get new teeth in August yeah!) Anyway, I was on my way out the door to deliver his video when this started happening, at least when I noticed it. I just wanted to get it out as fast as I could. More apologies for updating it like 10 times, ugh. (I swear I won't touch it any more....) I did make half my rent for April in one day, so that was really cool! That's what I call stress relief! Thanks for your patience and tolerance, I appreciate it.

The Revolution continues!

Her finger waving rant does seem a little out of wack for Hillary's public persona. Of course we all know that her secret service protection probably think this is one of her good days and Bill got 10X this treatment with expletives not deleted. There is no chance the MSM will grab this clip as a Dean Scream, but its good to know that she's getting close to popping with FBI James Comey closing in on her ass. I can only hope that Comey has a long held score to settle with this bitch...

I've certainly done enough of those in my lifetime of writing in my various occupations and for pleasure. In college as a nontraditional student - English major, Art History minor - I was also in the Honors program. A couple of profs loved my writing and even told me they saved my essays until last so they could end their grading sessions on a high note after reading the mangled essays and spelling from traditional students. Yes, they also gave me an A. Another prof with whom I was not particularly familiar gave me an A for essays I wrote in two different classes I took from him (one was an essay ripping Hemingway a new arse); my Honors adviser was surprised because that prof was noted for never, ever giving anyone an A - and I got two from him! In my freshman year I was surprised at so many A's. By my sophomore year I checked the syllabus for each class and when it said an essay I knew I'd ace the class. Smile

After 50+ years of doing genealogy research and seeing phonetic spelling and incorrect spellings in four languages (that I understand, that is - I have documented ancestors from seven different countries), I'm used to seeing incorrect spellings, odd spellings, and alternate spellings, not to mention the abbreviations that go with some of those words. Transcribing a letter full of errors drives me to distraction. Once I get done with some transcriptions, I send it to a genealogy collaborator and have her read my notes and let me know where I have errors so I can correct myself (editing before too many people see my errors makes me look better, so I want to know when I need to correct something). A genealogy researcher two hundred years in the future will appreciate my efforts at doing things correctly. Smile
