Who is taking note of how a deeply racist ideology has given rise to Clinton's pro-corporate ideology? This is a deeply American strategy: Behind Clinton's appeal to all Americans, particularly Black, Brown, and working class, to focus their attention on Wall Street where the wealthy thrive, is America's partnership with the criminal ! So when Klein writes that it is central to Clinton's belief "at the center of it all is the belief "that change comes not by confronting the wealthy, but by partnering with them," you should see America, the US Empire, government and corporations, Clinton and her friends, pushing forward in its wars against Drugs and Terrorism. And you should know what that means: It's all good! "In the Clinton World it's always win-win win: The governments look effective, the corporations look righteous, and the celebrities look serious. Oh, and another win too: The Clintons grow ever more powerful." Klein has it right!
Sounds like Trump and Inc! Sounds like America and Inc.
You think Clinton isn't selecting what bits and pieces of history she wants Americans to remember? She doesn't want Americans to recall how the Clinton Foundation got rich in Haiti after the earthquake. Ask her how many still living in those disgraceful temporary shelters since 2005? Wikileaks released a series of emails from a Clinton senior aid to Clinton, serving then as Secretary of State. In those emails from John Podesta (Clinton's campaign chair), it seems that friends of Bill (FOBs) received "special attention." In other words, these were the donors or corporations chosen to come to the rescue of those poor, helpless Haitians in their time of need. Of course, what's criminal about the mismanagement of millions of dollars in Haiti? What's criminal when its all about profits, the bottom line, family, and friends getting richer and richer while the poor go on suffering and dying? Isn't this the modus operandi of US corporations?
We're going to make a great America even greater "by having the wealthy pay their share and close corporate loopholes." Her friends on Wall Street are not worried: the corporate world understands the necessity of habitual lying. We are thankful to Wikileaks for the news. Leaked documents and, apparently, leaked emails tell us the truth while the Corporate media can only tell us lies.
So from Wikileaks, again, there is Hilary Clinton loving Wal-Mart! Yes, loving the "aggressive union busting" ( The Intercept) champion of corporate America! And Wal-Mart loves Hilary, too. According to The Intercept, the emails between the Clinton camp, reveals "a continued warm relationship between Clinton and the massive retailer." You see, and this, too, isn't Kafka's doing...it seems Hilary Clinton believes Wal-Mart fosters "community"! Yes, that is what Hilary Clinton calls the relationship between Wal-Mart and community! "So this spirit of community that I think is absolutely essential to the maintenance of our democracy, our freedom, our strength, is alive and well across North America, particularly among young people" ( The Intercept.com, October 12, 2016). Clinton received $353, 400 from the Walton family. What a "community" of the corrupt and criminal!
There's more! According to The Intercept, in 2013, behind closed doors, Clinton apologized to Goldman Sachs for the Dodd-Frank reform bill. And more! There's Clinton giving a 2014 thank you-speech to her friends at Deutsche Bank. Clinton thanked her friends at Deutsche Bank for the work the bank did in New York City. What work, you ask? Well, Deutsche Bank provided new Yorkers with "affordable housing." And we know affordable housing is in New York City! Since Clinton is now running for president, let's not ask her about that honorable mention Deutsche received from the New York State Senate report in January. Well, maybe not so honorable, for, it turns out, the bank's failure to maintain foreclosed properties in the city's neighborhoods has cost those same "communities millions in unpaid fines." And the Justice Department wants to have a talk with these friends of Clinton at Deutsche for defrauding "investors with low-quality mortgage securities" which contributed to the housing meltdown. But she thanked them! Why, do you think?
No, this double-talking Clinton would be difficult for Kafka to have fantasized. Behind closed doors, Clinton is...Clinton. There in those private sessions, Clinton tells friends that she will cut corporate tax rates if the friends and their corporations would "invest a percentage in an infrastructure bank" ( The Intercept ). Friends, help me, and I'll help you. As we have been doing for so long, in so many ventures! Don't be so baffled! Maybe the "super predators" Hilary Clinton was referring to in public was actually those corporate friends she was meeting in private. Maybe these corporate friends are actually the "super predators" she really loves.
Donald Trump's America is a wilderness in need of a god--Him. Hilary Clinton's America is a garden filled with many gods--corporate gods.
Kafkaesque? You'd wish!
How are we here, at this moment, asked to take one of these two candidates for president seriously? Go to the polls and vote for which one? Which is the lesser of the two evils?
I refuse!
