Under the radar

Today the New York Times mentioned in an article that Chelsea Clinton was now fully involved in her mothers campaign. Whereas she had previously been a mere stage prop, holding the coat of a supporter on one occasion, now she was in Hawaii touting details of her mother’s economic policies.

What whisked by, though, under the radar, was the offhand comment that Chelsea was an “associate” of Avenue Capital, a huge unregulated hedge fund controlled by Marc Lasey, a long-time Clinton friend and donor. I guess Chelsea has taken a few personal days off, or some earned vacation to assist her mother in the campaign. [I would personally be very interested in what Chelsea Clinton actually does in her position of “associate” with that hedge fund.]

Why does any of this make any difference? Well, let me tell you. Senator Clinton has posed as a “change agent” in the primary season of the race. Some of the change the nation is looking for is a change in the corporate control and seemingly unfettered power of corporations to avoid any regulation by the federal government. These massive hedge funds are prototype examples of the worst abuse of unregulated corporations and multi-trillion dollar funds, and apparently Hillary is fully supportive of such arrangements, as long as they have her name on them! But all this is what the Republican administrations have created for their own advantage. Am I to believe that Hillary is simply a Republican in Democratic garb?

I think so.

Sure, she and Bill came from Arkansas, but once they moved to Washington, they became East Coast elites, as much as the Kennedy family, the Kerry Family, etc, etc. She boasts of 30 years of experience in Washington, but what is really the outcome of that 30 years of experience? Personal wealth and walking with the well-heeled elites. This is not what America needs.

The Huffington Post did a story not long ago that revealed the true metamorphosis of the Clintons, from chicken-pluckers in Arkansas, to international magnates. The article details the Clinton relationship with Yucaipa Global Holding, a company that belongs to Ron Burkle, the billionaire investor. What was funny was the way in which the press was impressed and surprised when Hillary loaned her campaign $5 million, giving the impression that they were on the ropes of funding source. Pure nonsense. If she had pleased, some of her investors would have ponied up hundreds of millions of dollars! She is no less wealthy than Mitt Romney, and if the truth were known, is probably much, much richer than Romney.

A New York Times article detailed Bill Clinton’s connection with an attempt to corner the uranium market in a shady deal involving Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra. Guistra flew into Kazakhstan, accompanied by who – you guessed it; Bill Clinton, former president. The two proceeded to meet with the despotic president of Kazakhstan, [who, by the way, has been criticized by none other than Hillary Clinton, Bill’s wife and candidate for president of the United States!], supposedly on a philanthropic tour. But within two days, Mr. Guistra’s company signed agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom. Now, that seems to be real philanthropy in action, does it not?

Long story short, the Clintons are so connected with the abusive business practices around the world that it is impossible that she could represent any kind of “change” in that status quo.

I am sure that these revelations were inadvertent, and that the Clinton’s have already chastised someone for revealing them, but they are likely to be only the tip of the iceberg, with a huge hidden lode of intrigue involving the Clintons. It does not bode well for Hillary Clinton’s campaign to be so hypocritical as to talk about change and anti-corporate control of the economy when her husband [and thus she herself] is up to his proverbial neck in the very things that need to be reformed!

In recent news, we now see that in her desperate last throws she is willing to sacrifice the long-term welfare of the entire Democratic party for her own personal grandiose goals. She will unleash all the learning from the many years that she has learned how to win from the likes of Karl Rove and others who will do anything short of murder (?) to win for their own aggrandizement and financial gain.

I post this to try to demonstrate to the Hillary defenders that not all of us are Hillary-haters, as they maintain, criticizing personal stuff like the way she dresses, the way she looks. I just despise her dishonesty, two-faced deception, hypocrisy, and her false outrage when someone speaks of “pimping out” her daughter, which is, in modern parlance, exactly what she is doing. Perhaps it is Hillary’s own attitude toward the Democratic voters that comes the closest to being pimping out. Enough already.
