Trump Absolves Clinton and her Foundation to "Help Her Heal" and White Supremacist Trump Supporters use Nazi Salute
By Stephen Fox
Unbelievable! Quasi-judicial pardoning of Hillary and her Foundation despite Trump's strong campaign threat to "instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation." Supports do the Nazi Heil Salute while proclaiming white superiority and speaking of the LugenPress, a Nazi term to criticize the press!

So much for idle campaign promises (in actuality, they were more accurately termed as "threats").
He is dispensing with her crimes, sweeping them under the rug, while the Clinton Foundation's excesses are egregious and outrageous violations of the law, and now Donald wants to "help her heal?"
This is really incredible. I am all for reaching across the aisle, but for Mr. Trump to unilaterally absolve her of any wrong doing as if he had Judicial powers of his own: this is too much for the American people to sanguinely accept, and yet that is probably precisely what they will do. What facile chumps we are as a nation!
This turns our back on the wrongdoings at the Foundation and perhaps permanently sweeps it all under the rug. Something is very wrong here.
CNN:
President-elect Donald Trump's administration will not pursue further investigations of Hillary Clinton's private email server or the Clinton Foundation, according to his former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.
Trump's decision represents a significant break from a major campaign promise -- at the second presidential debate in early October, Trump threatened Clinton, saying that "if I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation."
Conway said Clinton "still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don't find her to be honest or trustworthy," but added that "if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing to do."

"Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!"
That's how Richard B. Spencer saluted more than 200 attendees on Saturday, gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute, which describes itself as "an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world."
Spencer has popularized the term "alt-right" to describe the movement he leads. Spencer has said his dream is "a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans," and has called for "peaceful ethnic cleansing."
For most of the day, a parade of speakers discussed their ideology in relatively anodyne terms, putting a presentable face on their agenda. But after dinner, when most journalists had already departed, Spencer rose and delivered a speech to his followers dripping with anti-Semitism, and leaving no doubt as to what he actually seeks.
He referred to the mainstream media as "Lugenpresse," a term he said he was borrowing from "the original German"; the Nazis used the word to attack their critics in the press.
"America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity," Spencer said. "It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us."
The audience offered cheers, applause, and enthusiastic Nazi salutes.

UPDATE, BREAKING NEWS:
Politico Editor RESIGNS After Publishing Home Addresses Of Alt-Right Icon Richard Spencer, Advocating For 'Baseball Bats'click here Morning&utm_campaign=TheDC Evening
"These posts were clearly outside the bounds of acceptable discourse, and POLITICO editors regard them as a serious lapse of newsroom standards," Politico Editor-In-Chief John Harris and Editor Carrie Budoff Brown told TheDCNF. "They crossed a line in ways that the publication will not defend, and editors are taking steps to ensure that such a lapse does not occur again."
While Hirsh's initial post could have been charitably interpreted to imply advocacy of a non-violent protest outside of Spencer's home or other similar non-violent actions, a subsequent question and answer clarified Hirsh's intentions.
"Completely agree we should mobilize against his hateful ideas, but what does knowing his home addresses do?" Asked Doug Widmann, Harvard Law graduate and senior vice president at The D. E. Shaw Group.
"Send a letter? Confront him in person? Seems like counter-speech is the main thing we can do. You can call it 'whining' but I'm not sure that's fair or constructive.
Side note: Apparently the GSA-owned Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in DC felt obligated to host his organization's event because it can't discriminate against speech under the First Amendment, so there's that problem, too."
Hirsh responded in an unhinged manner: "I wasn't thinking of a f*cking letter, Doug. He lives part of the time next door to me in Arlington. Our grandfathers brought baseball bats to Bund meetings. Want to join me?"
Perhaps knowing it wasn't such a good idea to advocate openly for serious violence against Spencer in a public format, Hirsh deleted the post, but not before TheDCNF grabbed a screenshot.

Early in the 2016 Primary campaign, I started a Facebook group: Bernie Sanders: Advice and Strategies to Help Him Win! As the primary season advanced, we shifted the focus to advancing Bernie's legislation in the Senate, particularly the most critical one, to protect Oak Flat, sacred to the San Carlos Apaches, in the Tonto National Forest, from John McCain's efforts to privatize this national forest and turn it over to Rio Tinto Mining, an Australian mining company whose record by comparison makes Monsanto look like altar boys, to be developed as North America's largest copper mine. This is monstrous and despicable, and yet only Bernie's Save Oak Flat Act (S2242) stands in the way of this diabolical plan.
We added "2020" to the title.
I am an art gallery owner in Santa Fe since 1980 selling Native American painting and NM landscapes, specializing in modern Native Ledger Art.
I have always been intensely involved in politics, going back to the mid's 1970's, being a volunteer lobbyist in the US Senate for the Secretary General of the United Nations, then a "snowball-in-hell" campaign for US Senate in NM in the late 70's, and for the past 20 years have worked extensively to pressure the FDA to rescind its approval for aspartame, the neurotoxic artificial sweetener metabolized as formaldehyde. This may be becoming a reality to an extent in California, which, under Proposition 65, is considering requiring a mandatory Carcinogen label on all aspartame products, although all bureaucracies seem to stall under any kind of corporate pressure.
Bills to ban aspartame were in the State Senates of New Mexico and Hawaii, but were shut down by corporate lobbyists (particularly Monsanto lobbyists in Hawaii and Coca Cola lobbyists in New Mexico).
For several years, I was the editor of New Mexico Sun News, and my letters to the editor and op/eds in 2016 have appeared in NM, California, Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, the Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, and many international papers, on the subject of consumer protection. Our best issue was 10 days before Obama won in 2008, when we published a special early edition of the paper declaring that Obama Wins! This was the top story on CNN for many hours, way back then....
My highest accomplishments thus far are
1. a plan to create a UN Secretary General's Pandemic Board of Inquiry, a plan that is in the works and might be achieved even before the 75th UN General Assembly in September 2020.
2. Now history until the needs becomes clear to the powers who run the United Nations: a UN Resolution to create a new Undersecretary General for Nutrition and Consumer Protection, strongly supported ten years ago by India and 53 cosponsoring nations, but shut down by the US Mission to the UN in 2008. To read it, google UNITED NATIONS UNDERSECRETARY GENERAL FOR NUTRITION, please.
These are not easy battles, any of them, and they require a great deal of political and journalistic focus. OpEdNews is the perfect place for those who have a lot to say, so much that they exceed the limiting capacities of their local and regional newspapers. Trying to go beyond the regional papers seems to require some kind of "inside" credentials, as if you had to be in a club of corporate-accepted writers, and if not, you are "from somewhere else," a sad state of corporate induced xenophobia that should have no place in America in 2020!
This should be a goal for every author with something current to say: breaking through yet another glass ceiling, and get your say said in editorial pages all over America. Certainly, this was a tool that was essentially ignored in 2016, and cannot be ignored in the big elections of 2020.
