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…

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?

The Despair In Iraq Continues…

airlift support, Churchill, contractors, Dover, hillary, iraq, Iraqi, military support, obama, Operation Overlord, president, refugees, State Department, US military, World War II, Yazidis

This week, Obama authorized airlift support to help out the Yazidis that were and are huddled on the mountain Sinjar awaiting help. This small effort, for thousands of refugees, was at least a start. Then, on Wednesday, the day after a team of 130 troops visited the mountain to ascertain what support is needed, Admiral Kirby, spokesman for the Pentagon, immediately went on the air to announce that the Yazidis were not as numerous on the mountain as first thought, the ISIS terrorists were being beaten back, and so, the US didn’t need to do any more. Thus, based on a quick look, Obama has decided the siege has been broken and the airlift can cease. This is like having Operation Overlord start from Dover in England, the first troops land, move forward a foot, and then Eisenhower say “We’ve won the war and we can go home!”, while removing all Allied troops and troopships from the Channel, despite what Churchill thinks. Glad Obama wasn’t president during World War II. England, as well as most of Europe, would be speaking German as a first language.

We cannot determine what the state of anything is with one 12 hour trip to something as large as a mountain. Despite the so-called technological edge, there are thousands of people, in dire straits, who need our assistance. The siege isn’t broken on the mountain. In the last two days, hundreds have been captured or killed by ISIS. The Peshmarga, some of the hardest fighting military around, are hard put to shelter those who can make it to their lines. The Kurdish military have asked and asked for military aid, and Obama continually turns them down. His excuse is that the US is not authorized to provide military equipment to another member of a sovereign country. This didn’t stop him from sending weapons and other military equipment to Syria, Libya, and other countries as he saw fit.

We are the last true superpower. We have an obligation to help others. This is not just an altruistic notion. Our, the US, strategic policy used to be, support our allies, defend those who cannot defend themselves, fight injustice, help build democracy wherever we could, help support those governments that look out for their people, and defy those who would attempt to tear down civilization in the quest to dominate the planet. The US has had its issues. No country can claim a moral superiority to us, as all have their dark sides, their skeletons in their closets. The difference with the US is: We don’t hide our faults, we use them as learning lessons to improve ourselves, and to help improve others.

We have an obligation to those in Iraq we summarily left behind. The decision to leave was one reached jointly by Obama, and Hillary as the Secretary of State. We need to return to Iraq, in full force, with support from our Coalition partners, to bulwark Iraq, help build and train their military, provide security and stability for the country, until the country can truly stand on its own. And we need to remain there afterwards. We did not leave Europe after World War II. We did not desert South Korea in the ‘50s. We didn’t leave Saudi Arabia or Kuwait or the rest of the Middle East after Desert Storm. So why did we leave Iraq? The reason, the only reason, was for political expediency only. We must return and fulfill our obligations to restore and sustain Iraq, with its fledgling democracy. Iraq is only one of the very few secular countries in the Middle East. Iraq is home to the cradle of civilization. We owe it to Iraq, and to the Iraqi people, to help re-stabilize the country, help rebuild its military, and support an important ally for us in the Middle East.

Pushing hillary (how the left is trying to build the former secretary of state up)

15 Tuesday Jul 2014

administration, cabinet, CIA, hillary, humanitarian, Madam Secretary, Morgan Freeman, presidential cabinet, secretary of state, statesman, stateswoman

First were the speaking engagements. Touring different places, trying to appear as the woman for all women, the put-upon but upheld wife of a former president that resurrected herself as a senator, then the third most powerful person on the planet…or so she would have you think. Next came the autobiography, extolling her virtues, showing her determined leadership, and her guidance of US foreign policy. Then the book tours to promote the same book, showing her “normal” side, how the Clintons were just another ordinary family.

Now, however, I do believe the left, the main stream media, and hollywood have finally managed to overstep and outdo themselves. Coming this fall: Madam Secretary, a series about a strong secretary of state. Amazing that this woman wears pantsuits, ignores her stylists, and always has something flippantly profound to say, with the appropriate sycophants hanging onto her every word. The question I have is: Where was this series when a more appropriate, more realistic woman secretary of state was in office?

For those who haven’t seen this, Madam Secretary is about a blond-haired, blue-eyed, pantsuit wearing woman, who is strong and stalwart. Well, the only things she has in common with hillary is the blond hair, blue eyes, and pantsuits. A more appropriate Madam Secretary should have had Angela Bassett playing the part of Condoleezza Rice, a true hard working, hard charging secretary of state. But, unfortunately for the elitist in hollywood, Miss Rice worked for a Republican president, which tainted her as unpure. Forget about the rhetoric of the left looking out for minorities; if that had been true, the left and the democrats would have been crowing loud and hardy for GW since he appointed, to two of the TOP three positions in his administration, a black man and a black woman. Colin Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was GW’s first secretary of state, a man with such honor, the Queen of England knighted him. Condoleezza Rice was appointed his National Security Advisor, the person who advised him on national and international security issues, and acted as his eyes and ears, meeting heads of state in his place. Both of these people were extremely well liked and well respected in the international community, as both had been there and done that, and had the experience, and the wisdom, needed.

Instead, we have a concocted series to force a favorable impression of hillary, planted to run for at least a year prior hillary’s attempted run for the white house. The network that plans on running this farce, CBS, had to wait until hillary left office. Had they attempted to run the series while hillary was secretary of state, the laughing and howls would have been sufficient to merit the series winning the Emmy for best comedy. As it stands, this will be the longest running political ad for a candidate ever. The differences between the two woman, hillary, and the character Elizabeth McCord extend to the way they have arrived at their prospective jobs. hillary was escorted to the position as a sop to her for throwing her weight behind obama’s campaign. Elizabeth is a former CIA operative and professor. Since we know that hillary’s closest brush with danger was ducking snipers on a Kosovo tour…oh yeah, that didn’t happen, did it? Okay, on her trips to Iraq and Afghanistan in…when did she actually come and do something in South West Asia?

The truth of the matter is that hillary’s boosters are trying every possible way to make hillary look more statesman (or stateswoman) like, including putting together a series about a fictional secretary of state that would shine on hillary. The executive producer for this series, Morgan Freeman, is a great person. To have such a great actor, director, and producer behind something such as this, while ignoring the contributions of people like Rice and Powell, shows the problem of the left. Mr. Freeman, himself a prominent black American, for some reason, is ignoring the contributions of people of color, fellow black Americans who have contributed greatly to this country’s stability, leadership, and prosperity, in favor of someone who blindly turns their eyes away from the issues and problems affecting not only this country, but this planet.

I like Mr. Morgan Freeman. He has played some marvelous roles, he has directed some wonderful movies, he is a wonderful humanitarian, and a great businessman. But in this instance, Mr. Freeman has faltered enormously. Mr. Freeman is attempting to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, trying to find the diamond in the mud. If Mr. Freeman were truly looking to put a factual account of the secretary of state’s activities, he should have pushed to have the person as a black secretary of state. Miss Rice does have all those qualities, except for the family part. By continuing to help perpetrate the myth of hillary, Mr. Freeman is giving in to the lie of the democrats and to their agenda to continue to lie to the US people. Mr. Freeman, I have a higher opinion of you than that. I respectfully request you pull yourself from supporting something that does not help anyone, and puts the wrong people in a favorable light.
