Hacking, Leaking, The Media Is Missing The Point…

Everyone is up-in-arms about the so-called “Russian Hacking”.  “The Russians were behind the leaking of the emails!!”  “The Russians hacked into the Democrats emails!!” “The Russians tried to steer the election!!”  Pundits and opinion journalists, many on the left and right, are taking up the mantle of attacking “Outside Influences” who were trying to “shape the American Election”.  And Every Last One Of Them, Public And Private Speakers Both, Have Got It Wrong!!!

Why am I the only voice out here saying “I DON’T CARE WHO HACKED THE EMAILS!!”  If the Russians wanted to hack something, as well as the Chinese, I’m damn sure their actors are probably intent on our infrastructure, our industry, our finance, and those politicians currently in office who are corruptible and easily blackmailed.  Trying to do anything with our election would be akin to trying to stop the flow of the Mississippi River with a seine net: Ya gonna have to wait a few million years to see any effect.

You see, the real issue, the issue everyone and their brother are blithely ignoring is: IF HILLARY HADN’T HAD HER EMAILS ON A PRIVATE SERVER, BUT ON THE GOVERNMENT, STATE DEPARTMENT, EMAIL SERVER, SHE WOULD NEVER, I MEAN, NEVER , HAD HER EMAILS HACKED!!! IF THE DNC WASN’T COLLABORATING WITH HILLARY, THEY WOULDN’T HAVE THE EMAILS THAT WERE RELEASED!!!.

The truth is, Hillary Clinton used an ILLEGAL server to keep her emails private from scrutiny by the government that she WORKED FOR.  These emails are rightfully the province of the US Government, and should have been placed on government servers and archived properly for the official government records.  Yes, Hillary could have had a private email ACCOUNT, which is radically different than a SERVER.  An account is hosted elsewhere, with access by the government through necessary warrants.  Private emails have been used by other Secretaries of State, but NONE, absolutely NONE, have used a private SERVER. That is placing vital government security information OUTSIDE the security of government protection, and available for hacking, which is what happened.

Hillary Clinton knowingly, and with malice aforethought, decided to use a private server, knowing, herself, that this was a violation of several US laws, codes, and regulations.  Hillary signed a document acknowledging this.  And yet she decided to do this, even when she was reprimanding her own staff for using private emails themselves.  A case of “Do as I say, not as I do”.  Hillary Clinton and her team should not be amazed that they then are hacked by outside forces, regardless of who it is.  The DNC are clamoring that the Russians hacked their servers.  The problem is, the DNC are using this as an excuse to had the fact they collaborated to deny the nomination to any other candidate but Hillary.

This is the age-old case of trying to shoot the messenger for the message.  You cannot, just cannot, blame the hackers for the problems with the emails.  Hillary Clinton decided to place herself above the law, assuming that she was invincible.  The DNC played fast and loose with the Democrat nomination process and the run-up to the election.  These are incontrovertible facts.  Just because they came from hacked emails does not make them less so.  If Hillary wanted to have her emails protected, she should have NOT used a private server, but used a State Department email account, as others before her have done.  The DNC should have played fair with all of the candidates for the Democrat nomination, not structure the nomination to support only Hillary.

These are the facts.  No one who’s emails have been placed on public display have had the temerity to claim that the emails were, in fact, not theirs.  Not one denial has come forth. The truth is, no one should give a damn about WHO hacked the emails.  That is a Smoke and Mirrors ploy, used to distract from the real truth. The real truth is that Hillary Clinton used an illegal server to circumvent the government rules and laws concerning archiving of government correspondence.  The real truth is that the  DNC used illegal acts to circumvent nominating anyone but Hillary Clinton.  Personnel associated with the DNC and the Democrat Party flagrantly violated the trust, as well, in some cases, as the law, in paving Hillary’s ascent to the nomination.  THESE are the things that should have people riled up, as Americans.  We are supposed to have a fair and equitable system of governance, as well as the means of fairly selecting who we want to govern.  Hillary Clinton, as well as the democrat elites, strived to circumvent those rules we have in place.  This is what makes me mad.

I don’t care who hacked the emails.  Truthfully, if they weren’t there in the first place, there wouldn’t be a problem.  So the people we should be mad at, the ones that should be brought to justice, are not the hackers, but those who would attempt to subvert our system of democracy for their own personal power.  The hackers just showed us who they are, and what they were trying to do, nothing more…

Flint Water Crisis and the Democrats…

city council, Clinton, democrats, Flint, governor, hillary, republicans, voters

The Democrats, Hillary, and Bernie have all jumped on the bandwagon of blaming the Republican governor for the Flint, Michigan, water crisis.  Problem is, the Flint City Council voted 7-1 to change to using the river water because that was cheaper.  To use the water, the council also agreed to use the water system the city put in place years earlier when the city provided its own water instead of using the Detroit system.

I say this is a problem, because the Democrats know that the city council is, or was, primarily, if not completely, Democrat at the time.  The one holdout wanted to pursue a different tack.  But the Democrats saw themselves saving money that, probably, could be used to give themselves bonuses and higher salaries or something.  Instead, the city council condemned Flint citizens and their children to a slow, inexorable, untimely death from lead poisoning.  As soon as the information became public knowledge, the Democrats immediately aimed all their arrows at the governor, in the hopes no one determines their culpability.

The mainstream media and the Democrats are, again, leading the public into thinking the Republicans are the reason children have lead in their system, when the reality is, as usual, the Democrats have forced a situation that is deplorable.  But will anyone call them to account?  I’m surprised and dismayed that Fox News or any of the Republican or Conservative radio and television networks have not jumped on this.  This is a good way for the presidential candidates to show how the Democrats could care less about the average citizen, but instead concentrate on keeping themselves in power, and abandoning their voters when the Democrats cause issues.

Bret Baier, Clinton, Fox News, hillary, president, Town Hall

Fox News disappointed me today.   Fair and balanced may be their slogan, but they were pretty unfair to the American people in the town hall by not asking hard hitting questions.  I heard Bret ask the question about the emails, and Bret knows better.  He followed her lead and called the FBI investigation a “Security Review”.  The FBI is a DOJ organization.  The NSA, the DOD, the DOS, and the CIA are organizations that do “Security Reviews”.  The DOJ performs criminal investigations only.  Bret should never have allowed the interviewee to set the tone, even if it is a Town Hall.  The FBI is performing a criminal investigation into the activities of Hillary, and nothing less.  Bret and Fox have let us all down…

The Republican Leadership Must Back The Donald…

It’s truly remarkable about the Republican party. We’re fighting to get the presidency, and the Republican leadership is whining about Donald Trump being the front runner. All of you sitting there chiming in, most of you are not old enough to remember Ronald Reagan. I remember the Ol’ Gipper. And I remember the harsh words from the Republican leadership then: He’s a has-been B-grade actor, what does he know about “real politics”. This has-been actor got the Soviet Union to back off, bought real prosperity to millions.
And before that has-been actor, there was Richard Nixon. We’d had the military, under the Great Society president, hamstrung. Johnson wouldn’t let our military do their job, everything had to be handled from DC. Our troops were taking hills, then orders from DC, not from Saigon, or the battalion, made us give back hills our men fought and died for. Richard Nixon, as one of his first acts, mined Haiphong Harbor, then instituted massive bombing and troop attacks, which bought the North to the Paris Peace Talks, and paved the way for our troops to come home. None of this hand-holding that Johnson was doing.
Donald Trump is a successful businessman. If Romney had issues, he had a Year, yes, a YEAR to make this known. The Republican leadership had Donald sign an oath to abide by the selection process. Now the leadership is acting like they belong in the democrat party. Donald has fought his way to this position, and the leadership needs to BACK HIM, not try and tear him down. If Cruz and Rubio have issues, they need to shove those issues in their back pockets, and stand behind the man in the lead. They signed the same oath, so, now they’re gonna go back on their words? Shows the kind of politicians they are, no different than Hillary and Bill Clinton: As long as it is for me, it’s okay, but when it’s not, I’m gonna cry and take my ball away.
Republican leadership: Do what you’re supposed to do. Get behind the front runner, give him the massive support, so we can win this. Anything else you do, shows the Republicans that are out there, that you’re no different than the democrats. This may make those who, for the first time in years that have come out for the party, decide to create a party of their own, and I think they would be able to get Trump elected, because that party would have Republicans, Democrats, and Independents of all race and sexes voting for Donald, who seems to be the only one who listens to the people, and who has plans to clean house in DC.  Do you want to be part of the crew, or do you want to be swept away?

Hillary Clinton’s Email Scandal

I read a hilarious article posted today on The Washington Post’s website.  The title and reporter: Why the Clinton Email Scandal and Petraeus Leak Are Not Really Alike Reporter Michelle Ye Hee Lee©(washingtonpost.com feb 24 2016)

Okay, as a security clearance holder, with clearances both for US and NATO countries, let me parse this for Miss Lee:

General Petraeus used his position to allow unauthorized access to another clearance holder to information, not from his current position, but from when he was in charge in Iraq and Afghanistan. Arguably, the information was dated, however, the information was, and still is, classified.  As such, the general, who should have held himself to a higher standard, became a victim of his own pride, and thus, gave unauthorized access.  This resulted in his being convicted, and he voluntarily turned himself in.

Hillary Clinton set up her own personal email server, and had her staff send all of her emails to this server, maintained by people who had no credentials or clearances authorized by the State Department.  More so, Hillary transmitted and received information, including up to TS, special access programs, on this server, including confidential communications between other Foreign Ministers as well as high ranking officials in other countries.  Miss Lee says that the information was retroactively classified.  This is where Miss Lee is wrong.  There is an email from Hillary DIRECTING her staff to remove classifications from the emails and forwarding or sending them to her email address.  This is the smoking gun for the bullet that shows Hillary and her subordinates willfully participated in a program to willing deceive the government and people of the United States.  With this one email, the entire program of deception becomes apparent, as this shows a desire, and a willingness, to avoid having information that Hillary has, stored in a government repository available to anyone with an FOIA request.  This also prevented the government from having archived information from Hillary’s stint as Secretary Of State.

Hillary Clinton signed non-disclosure agreements, and signed that she would protect classified information in her custody.  She then set up her own personal email server to circumvent the laws and regulations she was supposed to support and defend.

Miss Lee, before you attempt to protect someone who is clearly guilty of the same crimes as Snowden, I would suggest you delve deeper into what is and isn’t a crime.  Both David Petraeus and Hillary Clinton are accused of not protecting classified information.  The only difference is the level of information both allowed to be compromised.  One compromised information about his career.  The other compromised information that could cause grave and serious continuing damage to the United States of America, her people, her allies, and her military forces.  In a wartime situation, which we are under, the general penalty for such is the death penalty.

Hillary Better Watch Out

Just a quickie here, for those who may or may not be paying attention: Bernie Saunders had many, I mean, many, minorities behind him when he made his victory speech in New Hampshire. In her concession speech, there were primarily, okay, 90 percent, older white feminists in her background, as well as, of course, Billy boy.

This seems to me that the so-called “firewall” of Black and minority voters that Hillary is always claiming, may not actually be there. Sorta like thinking your Windows Firewall is up, but your kid removed it so he could get to those special sites.

Just an insight to me, but if Hillary thinks she has the minority vote, especially the Black vote, locked up, she could be very well embarrassed when Trump and Saunders walk away with the vote.

Hillary Clinton: Bigger Espionage Problem Than Edward Snowden

Hillary Clinton should be in jail.  At the least, the Department Of Justice, without waiting for the FBI probe to complete, should have empaneled a grand jury and indicted her for espionage.

As the former Secretary Of State, Hillary had access to information up to and including not just TS/SCI, but the holiest of holies, sources and methods.  Hillary had to have signed numerous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) that detailed, in exacting minutiae, her responsibilities as an Originating Authority, for information that she was privy to.  Hillary also would have had the State Department setting up, or attempting to set up, an email account for secure transfer of information.

With all of this, there isn’t any reason, idea, etc., that Hillary should have set up her own, personal, private server in her home, managed not by cleared State Department IT/IS personnel, but a private company that had no known security clearances to even look at the server, let alone manage it.

Let’s look at the facts: Hillary and her aides attempted to circumvent FOIA requests by maintaining a private server on a private domain, separate from the government’s oversight.  This is the first offense, punishable under the FOIA, as well as the government’s own laws and regulations covering government systems and government correspondence.  The next offense, ostensibly the worse, is the transmission of classified information from the State Department’s CLASSNET onto an unclassified private domain.  There is an email that specifically shows Hillary ordering personnel to strip classification markings from email and send the information to her private email.  This shows a coordinated, dedicated, activity to deny the government’s oversight authorities information on the transfer of information.  Ladies and gentlemen: THIS IS ESPIONAGE, THERE IS NO OTHER NAME FOR IT!!!  By doing this, Hillary Clinton has wantonly caused information, from For Official Use Only (FOUO) to Special Access Programs (SAPs) to be made available to our enemies, both foreign and domestic.  This is in clear violation of her oath as the Secretary Of State, as well as a direct crime against the people of the United States, and the Constitution.

Hillary Clinton attempts to muddy the water in regards to the information in her emails.  She continually states that she neither received nor sent classified information in her time as Secretary Of State.  This is an outright lie, and I call her out on it.  As Secretary Of State, responsible for promulgating policy and directing the efforts of diplomats worldwide, Hillary cannot do anything BUT send and receive classified information, including information on Sources and Methods, the most delicate, and the most damaging, information there is.  To say otherwise, is to blatantly lie to the American people, as well as to all of our foreign allies worldwide.

Hillary had no problems sacking a senior diplomat for sending emails on his personal account.  The individual didn’t even have the luxury of a personal server.  The Department Of Justice wasted no time and effort to slam GEN David Petraeus for having a confidential document at home, and allowing a CLEARED individual access.  True, the person had clearance, just not need to know, but the result was that the general was indicted and convicted.  And the general did not have a high, cabinet-level, position, either.

There is only one option for the Department Of Justice: Indict and convict Hillary Clinton of Espionage.  Edward Snowden has been indicted for treason for the release of thousands of emails.  We can do no less for someone who held one of the highest offices in the land, and used it to abuse their privileges for their own personal gain.  Thousands of emails containing classified information that, unlike Snowden’s emails, put current personnel who are supposed to be covered by our government, at risk, were found to have resided in her personal server.  People may have wound up being disappeared for their support of us clandestinely, and their kidnappings, and possible deaths, can be laid directly at the feet of Hillary Clinton.

Bernie Saunders, by his neglect in calling Hillary to account, is just as negligible.  The democrat party is also negligent.  To not denounce Hillary in the strongest terms, to not back a grand jury indictment, shows that the democrat is only interested in one thing: Power, for power’s sake.

The Republican party candidates are very negligent, as they should be shouting about this at the top of their lungs, showing the world, and their constituents just what a piece of work Hillary is.  The Republican candidates know what the damage Hillary has done.  Instead, the nominees resort to smear tactics against each other.  The Republican candidates have turned the entire nomination process into a sideshow circus, and no one really takes them serious.  Only Carly Fiorina has consistently taken Hillary to task, but the media, including Fox News, give Carly a small percentage of their time.  Donald Trump, the erstwhile frontrunner, refuses to take on Hillary at this time, and the same for Cruz, Christie, Bush, and Rubio.

Hillary Clinton has violated many government statues, regulations, and laws concerning the management and safekeeping of classified and sensitive information.  We’ve sent many a person to federal prison, hell, we’ve hung a few for treason, for less than what Hillary has done.  Look at the Falcon and the Snowman, for example.  This will be buried, as usual, by the mainstream media.  But I will not stop the drumbeat for Hillary.  If Edward Snowden can be indicted for his crimes against America, WHY NOT HILLARY?
