Why Hillary won't quit
So I went food stockpiling again today, and blasted through another $100 on food staples, big time. Bought some ham and some honey too, which I ate: 1/2 pound of ham, straight up and
about 1/4 cup of honey for dessert. Felt like I had dropped A when the fat, protein and sugars hit my bloodstream all at once! I felt like I understood Everything ... and even though my stomach felt uneasy, it is hard to say if that was the food or the gestalt comprehension :-)
I watched this old movie tonight, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and it pretty much blew my mind. The climax action scene involved a CIA or other government black-op group pulling off a terror plot inside the USA (this movie dates back to '96 and mentioned the WTC bombing of '93). They called their op a "Fundraiser" because the purpose was to convince Congress to allocate money.
Wow. And right now Congress is allocating another $186

Hillary will remain in the race "until a nominee is selected." Can you guess how the math could work for her?
Right. One man, one book depository, one magic bullet. Obama's plane could crash. He could suffer an embolism, fall down and hit his head, commit suicide and leave two goodbye notes like Deborah Jeane Palfrey... He could O.D. on heroin, he could be taken by aliens, he could be outed for something... maybe even something true-ish. Obama might eat a bad burrito, be bitten by a rabid dog, drown in his bathtub, or be hit by lightning!
That's how Hillary wins.
She hangs in JUST IN CASE.
Anything could happen, and Hillary won't leave till the Fat Lady sings, because it ain't over 'till its over!

BILLION to tide the military over through the end of the year in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hmmmmmm....
The funny thing is, the U.S. is also conducting major combat operations inside Baghdad itself, including major bombing attacks on the Sadr City slums -- doing a Fallujah in other words. And there is a total TV blackout on the Iraq War, except for admin psyops propaganda whenever they feel the need to convince Congress to give them more money! That blows my mind too.
Bush and Cheney are conducting two major wars and trying to instigate another in Iran/Syria/Lebanon -- while their ally Israel conducts a very provocative slo-mo genocide operation in the Gaza strip -- and the cable news networks provide almost zero information about those key events. Instead what we got today was, shock, pro-Hillary, pro-McCain airtime and repetitive, boring Obama slanders, esp. from that p.o.s. Glenn Beck, who had Ann Coulter on his show. MSNBC did a little segment on what the people in the crowd behind Obama were wearing ... and how it is so amusing to see the people behind Obama and what does it mean ... type of shit...
CNN trotted out that douchebag Charlie Rangel who claimed that the math for Clinton is still "doable".
So now ... I totally get it -- why Hillary will remain in the race "until a nominee is selected." Can you guess how the math could work for her?
Right. One man, one book depository, one magic bullet. Obama's plane could crash. He could suffer an embolism, fall down and hit his head, commit suicide and leave two goodbye notes like Deborah Jeane Palfrey... He could O.D. on heroin, he could be taken by aliens, he could be outed for something... maybe even something true-ish. Obama might eat a bad burrito, be bitten by a rabid dog, drown in his bathtub, or be hit by lightning!
That's how Hillary wins. She hangs in JUST IN CASE. Anything could happen, and Hillary won't leave till the Fat Lady sings, because it ain't over 'till its over!
So meanwhile Hillary Clinton sucks the oxygen out of Obama's campaign and the TV broadcasts more about her than what Obama is up to, she gets all the attention and maybe even wins it all!
If she dropped out now then maybe the Party would draft someone else. But if she stays in she wins automatically when the vote is taken at the convention if Obama is "unable to attend."
Hillary would be a total fool to drop out of the race now! She might get "lucky". Anything is possible. Good things could still happen for her personal political career!
And that could definitely happen, because "The System" totally does not approve of Obama. "They" want either Clinton or McCain. No one wants Obama except a huge fucking majority of We The People ... who are being treated like mushrooms: kept in the dark and buried in bullshit.
I totally get it now. Obama's campaign is more like a counter-coup than an exercise in Democracy.
It is possible, even likely, that there are many true patriots inside "The System" who will defend the Constitution, the election process and Obama himself. But maybe not enough of them. They need to be right all the time, and the criminals in charge only need to get lucky once -- and then it will be Seig Heil Hillary for eight years (McCain is a total joke candidate, the designated loser, and half-senile already... I'm am quite sure The System selected Hillary and something went horribly wrong for them...)

I never know what the fuck "real politik" is supposed to mean to the eggheads, but to me this is what it is -- the machinery of democracy at odds with the people who run the machinery. It's horrific and fascinating.
Me, realistically, I think Obama is the last chance America has, and if we the people are actually allowed to choose (mighty big if, it would be the first time in a decade) Obama will win easily. A race between Hillary and McCain is what the bastards who run The System want, because while HRC & JSM3 have some differences on social issues, the difference between them on money matters is next to nothing. It's the difference between Coke and Pepsi.
Obama is a generic diet cola with a twist of lemon -- which is to say, there aren't exactly worlds of difference between him and the other two candidates, but he's just far enough from the status quo to intrigue America, to make a lot of people think he might be open to rational thought, and that's just enough and to scare the bejeebers out of the powers that be.
And yeah, sadly, I too worry that Obama will be slain, and I hope his security detail is top-notch. Show me a left-leaning leader in the past fifty years who actually inspired people, and I'll tell you where he was buried, after the right-wing bastards had him killed.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.
We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.

But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.
Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.
If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
