'''Jeffrey Preston Bezos''' (born January 12, 1964) was the founder and former [[CEO]] of [[Amazon.com]], the United States' largest online retailer.<ref name="nyt1">{{cite web|work=New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/23/business/technology-a-surprise-from-amazon-its-first-profit.html|author=Saul Hansell|date=Jan 23 2002|accessdate=Apr 26 2009|title=TECHNOLOGY; A Surprise From Amazon: Its First Profit|language=English|publisher=New York Times Co.}}</ref>
He also owns the [[liberal]] [[Washington Post]] and the space agency [[Blue Origin]].

Depending on stock performance on any given day, Bezos regularly trades the "world's richest person" title with [[Bill Gates]] and [[Warren Buffett]].

He resigned as CEO for Amazon on February 2, 2021.<ref>https://link.breitbart.com/click/22831037.440302/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJlaXRiYXJ0LmNvbS9lY29ub215LzIwMjEvMDIvMDIvamVmZi1iZXpvcy1zdGVwcy1kb3duLWFzLWFtYXpvbi1jZW8vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV90ZXJtPWRhaWx5JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0yMDIxMDIwMg/5d13e1a9fc942d626ce527eaC921804aa</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/e0qrHl-bAx0</ref>

==Black Lives Matter==
After the Amazon warehouse in Redlands, [[California]] was burnt down by [[socialist]] [[terrorist]]s during the [[2020 Antifa riots]], Amazon placed the slogan "Black Lives Matter" on storefronts. Bezos tried to explain his support for the slogan on [[Instagram]]. Bezos shared an email from a customer who called the BLM slogan “offensive” and added that “all lives matter.” Bezos replied,
{{quotebox|“Black lives matter speaks to racism and the disproportionate risk that Black people face in our law enforcement and justice system”}}
Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of the book, ''The War on Cops,'' noted police officers are many times more likely to be killed by a black suspect than a white suspect. And more specifically,
{{quotebox|“a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer"}}
MacDonald also noted the high murder rate of young black men by other young black men in certain urban centers. Specifically to Bezos’ claim that black families have more to fear from police than whites, MacDonald noted:
{{quotebox|"The latest in a series of studies undercutting the claim of systemic police bias was published in August 2019 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers found that the more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that a member of that group will be fatally shot by a police officer. There is “no significant evidence of antiblack disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police.”}}
Additional evidence puts the lie to the ‘systemic racism among police’ narrative. MacDonald cited a 2015 analysis by the Philadelphia Police Department which
{{quotebox|“found that white police officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects....Research by Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer Jr. also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings."}}
MacDonald also noted a factor that is seldom taken into consideration by apologists like Bezos when it comes to citing false or misleading information regarding police interactions with the blacks.
{{quotebox|“Any evidence to the contrary fails to take into account crime rates and civilian behavior before and during interactions with police,” adding that the “false narrative of police bias” begun during the [[Obama administration]] actually led to officers being targeted, often by black suspects.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/06/06/amazon-customers-push-back-after-slogan-black-lives-matter-is-promoted-on-site-bezos-doesnt-care-930910</ref>}}
Bezos, who is major donor to [[leftwing]] [[terrorist]] causes, found a [[guillotine]] set up in front of his home during the [[riot]]s he sponsored.<ref>https://gellerreport.com/2020/06/protesters-set-up-guillotine-outside-of-jeff-bezos-dc-home.html/</ref>

==Trump-Russia hoax==
[[File:Schindler Jan 12.png|right|350px|thumb|Langley's 7th floor is a reference to CIA headquarters. Trump was viewed as a threat to the [[NATO]] alliance for demanding NATO allies shoulder their share of the cost burden.]]
Bezos, who owns the ''[[Washington Post]]'', is a [[CIA]] contractor.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/the-details-about-the-cias-deal-with-amazon/374632/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/washington-post-closes-sale-to-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos/2013/10/01/fca3b16a-2acf-11e3-97a3-ff2758228523_story.html?utm_term=.8fea51fb3097</ref><ref>http://www.mockingbirdpaper.com/content/leaked-dnc-emails-prove-washington-post-both-fundraiser-and-attack-dog-clinton-and-national</ref><ref>https://medium.com/@SarahRRunge/amazon-the-washington-post-and-the-cia-d68a4ee802e#.406uub5gw</ref> The ''Washington Post'' took the lead in promoting the [[fake news]] [[Trump-Russia conspiracy theory]]. The CIA is barred from influencing U.S. domestic politics by the [[National Security Act of 1947]].
In January 2017 former NSA official John Schindler tweeted, "When [[David Ignatius|@IgnatiusPost]] speaks, Langley's 7th floor lips are moving. '''They are taking [[traitor]] Trump out now'''."<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/20committee/status/819764059096678402?lang=en</ref> Ignatius is a reporter for the ''Washington Post'', and Langley's 7th floor is a reference to CIA director [[John Brennan]]'s office.

'''Mark Elliott Zuckerberg''' (b. 1984) is an American [[computer]] scientist, creator of the social networking site [[Facebook]]. He studied at [[Harvard University]], and is a supposed "philanthropist." Zuckerberg is known to call Facebook users "dumb f---s" for trusting him.<ref>https://twitter.com/defendassange/status/977324471215378432</ref> He was named ''[[Time Magazine]]'s'' Person of the Year in 2010:

According to [[Forbes]] Zuckerberg is the sixth richest person in the world.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/ forbes.com]</ref> Zuckerberg is an [[Atheism|Atheist]].<ref>[http://www.beliefnet.com/Celebrity-Faith-Database/Z/Mark-Zuckerberg.aspx# beliefnet.com]</ref> Zuckerberg has been accused of attending dinner parties with [[white supremacist]]s.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/01/16/aoc-slams-facebooks-mark-zuckerberg-for-capitol-riot/</ref>

Facebook is based in Palo Alto, [[California]]. The name of the site is based on the paper facebooks that many colleges give to incoming students, faculty, and staff depicting members of the campus community.<ref>http://www.associatepublisher.com/e/f/fa/facebook.htm</ref>

Zuckerberg announced he plans to leave Facebook in 2017, largely because he became disgusted with how social media has been used by people to attack each other.<ref>https://www.getinknews.co/headlines/coal/rfi/mark-zuckerberg-set-to-leave-facebook-later-this-year/?s2=6009-MZ-DED-TXT</ref>

===2020 election interference===

{{See also|Voter fraud|Censorship|First Amendment|Antitrust law|}}
In August 2020 it was reported that Facebook was planning for the possibility that [[President]] Trump or his campaign could try to challenge mail in ballot election results. ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported that staffers were already putting together contingency plans in the event Trump tries to use Facebook to dispute the vote by declaring the [[U.S. Postal Service]] lost mail-in ballots or that other groups interfered with the vote. Facebook officials, including [[CEO]] Mark Zuckerberg, were holding daily meetings to discuss how to minimize the platform from being used to cast doubts on the results.

The Times noted that one plan would include a “kill switch” to shut down political ads after Election Day. The company officials believe the ads, which Facebook does not check for truthfulness, could be used to disseminate misinformation.

The newspaper said [[YouTube]] and [[Twitter]] also discussed their own plans if the postelection period becomes problematic.<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/politics/facebook-election-results-dispute-social-media/2020/08/21/id/983301/</ref>
Facebook banned political pages in an attempt to influence elections.<ref>Duke, Selwyn (May 15, 2019). [https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/item/32360-big-tech-tyranny-facebook-is-at-it-again-trying-to-sway-an-election Big Tech Tyranny: Facebook Is at It Again, Trying to Sway an Election]. ''The New American''. Retrieved May 15, 2019.</ref>

While mainstream [[fake news]] media spins baseless [[October Surprise]] scandals and smears in the final week, Facebook banned President Trump from responding.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/03/facebook-ad-shakeup-trump-biden-408641</ref>

===Center for Technology and Civic Life===
:{{See also|Democrat election fraud}}
The [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (CTCL) is a group organized by [[Obama]] operatives and funded by Zuckerberg to promote [[Democrat election fraud]].<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/how-mark-zuckerbergs-350-million-threatens-democracy</ref><ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/07/what-is-mark-zuckerbergs-election-money-doing-in-georgia/</ref> Zuckerberg funneled more than $400 million in election fraud efforts, $350 million was siphoned through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL),

CTCL distributed hundreds of millions in “[[Zuckerbucks]]” to thousands of election jurisdictions in 48 states and [[Washington, D.C.]]. These funds were pitched as “COVID-19 response grants” supposedly intended to assist election officials in the safe conduct of elections. However, the infusion of CTCL funds into Democrat-leaning jurisdictions influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Much of the Zuckerbucks were not spent on COVID-19 related expenses—with states reporting expenditures on advertising, vehicle purchases, registering teenagers to vote, and other non- COVID-related items.

The pivotal state of [[Georgia]] was one of the biggest targets of these funds, ultimately receiving one of the largest allocations of CTCL funds in the nation.<ref>https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/politics/2021/06/05/report-zuckerberg-went-down-to-ga-with-45-million-more-than-any-state/</ref>

Emails and documents obtained by the Wisconsin Spotlight allege that individuals affiliated with CTCL took control of election procedures, including giving left-wing advisers “access to boxes of absentee ballots before the election.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/news/revealed-emails-show-zuckerberg-funded-group-overruling-election-officials-accessing-mail-in-ballots-before-election/</ref>

===Chan Zuckerberg Initiative===
Zuckerberg money to [[CTCL]] was laundered through the [[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative]] (CZI) controlled by Zuckerberg and his wife. Chan Zuckerberg also gave $433,000 to Ralph Baric,<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/facebook-czi-funds-controversial-wuhan-researcher/</ref> who was described by [[Shi Zhengli]] of the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) as her “longtime collaborator” on [[gain-of-function]] research on the bat [[coronavirus]].<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/wuhan-lab-partner-scheming-on-pandemic-profits/</ref> Baric also received funding from [[Anthony Fauci]]'s National Institute of Health (NIH).

===Facebook October surprise===
:{{See also|Fake news in the 2020 presidential election|}}
[[Facebook]] banned new political ads in the week before Election Day, curtailing a highly effective conduit for raising last-minute money and pinpointing messages to voters.

The mammoth social network with 2.7 billion users worldwide has become an essential tool for political advertisers — raking in more than $100 million from the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Joe Biden alone. Unlike TV or print media, Facebook allows campaigns to rapidly respond to events, sometimes in a day or less.
{{quotebox|"The last week of the election is the most important week when it comes to messaging," said Tara McGowan, co-founder of digital-first Democratic outfit [[ACRONYM]], adding that "most voters in this country do not tune in and start paying attention or making their plans to vote until the final days of an election."<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/03/facebook-ad-shakeup-trump-biden-408641</ref>}}
While mainstream [[fake news]] media are allowed to churn baseless scandals and smears in an [[October Surprise]], President Trump will be restricted from responding.

==FEC disclosure exemptions==
Political advertising regarding federal elections and candidates that is purchased for appearance on radio, television and print generally must adhere to [[Federal Election Commission]] rules requiring clear disclosure of the committee or donor paying for the advertisements. During 2011, [[Google]] and Facebook hired [[Marxist]] operative [[Marc Elias]] to help them obtain an exemption from this requirement for political advertising on their platforms. Elias argued the restrictions were not practical for his clients, with FEC commissioners ultimately voting 4-2 in favor of the exemption for Google and deadlocking 3-3 on the request regarding Facebook.<ref>Vogel, Kenneth P.; and Kang, Cecilia. [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/us/politics/facebook-google-russia-meddling-disclosure.html “Senators Demand Online Ad Disclosures as Tech Lobby Mobilizes.”] New York Times. October 19, 2017.</ref>

Facebook continued to operate as if exempt from disclosure rules. During the 2016 U.S. general election, $100,000 worth of Russian-backed and undisclosed advertisements intended to influence voters were purchased on Facebook with another $4,700 spent by Russian sources on Google political advertisements. In October 2017, following the controversy that ensued regarding Russian interference in the 2016 elections, both Republican and Democratic Senators advocated for legislation to require Facebook and Google to adhere to the same disclosure rules as other media.

'''Pol Pot''' (born '''Saloth Sar''') (May 19, 1928 – 1998) was a Cambodian communist dictator] and [[mass murder]]er responsible for killing 1 to 3 million Cambodians in the late 1970s, nearly a third of the Cambodian population. Anyone thought to be intellectual was murdered, including the killing of people simply for knowing a foreign language or even merely wearing glasses. Pol Pot held power through a combination of enormous charm and complete ruthlessness. Among Communists, he is infamous for being a Communist who apparently did not even like to read the works of [[Marx]] {{cn}}.

== Biography ==
Pol Pot was born as the second son of a successful landowner, who had connections the royal court. His real name was ''Saloth Sar'', what he often denied probably to protect his family. Pol Pot was educated by Buddhists and at a private Catholic institution in [[Phnom Penh]]. Later he moved to [[Paris]], where he became involved with the French Communist Party. 1953 he returned to Cambodia. In September 1960 Pol Pot founded the ''Workers Party of Kampuchéa'' together with others. The party became a guerilla army and grew in influence.<ref>http://www.notablebiographies.com/Pe-Pu/Pol-Pot.html#ixzz3eMfOGqK2</ref>

When Pol Pot took over Cambodia in 1975, he abolished [[private property]], [[money]], schools and [[religion]] and converted everything back to an agricultural society.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8350313.stm</ref> He emptied the cities. His [[Khmer Rouge]] government fell in 1979 when the Communist country of [[Vietnam]] invaded Cambodia after a series of violent border confrontations, and Pol Pot fled to the northern jungle with his forces. Pol Pot was popular in China because they believed Cambodia would be a counterbalance to Vietnam, which was friendly with the Soviet Union. The Chinese support for Pol Pot was a reason he was not ousted earlier or disowned by the Communist movement.

An Oscar-winning film about his dictatorship, ''[[The Killing Fields]]'' brought a wider knowledge of his atrocities, but only years after they had taken place. The United States and other Asian nations have been accused of supporting him in order to counter Vietnam next door.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cambodia-rouge/khmer-rouge-jailer-says-u-s-contributed-to-pol-pot-rise-idUSTRE5351VF20090406 Link label</ref>

There was a bloody power struggle within the Khmer Rouge in 1997. Pol Pot was then arrested by his former supporters in July 1997. They charged him with [[treason]] but a "people's tribunal" merely sentenced him to house arrest for life.

Holodomor denial

2021-09-11T21:50:11Z

I love blue:

Holodomor denial is the denial of the holodomor, a large-scale man-made famine in the Soviet Union that killed around 3.9 million people.

Initially he Soviet government dismissed all references to the famine as anti-Soviet propaganda. Denial of the famine declined after the Communist Party lost power and the Soviet empire disintegrated'' @ [https://books.google.com/books?ei=_WZ3R9CwDZnmtQO3xeXQCg&id=c-8YAAAAIAAJ&dq=Holodomor+Denial&q=%22Denial+of+the+famine%22&pgis=1#search Encyclopedia of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity By Dinah Shelton; Page 1055] ISBN 0028658485</ref><ref>After over half a century of denial, in January 1990 the [[Communist Party of Ukraine]] adopted a special resolution admitting that the Ukrainian Famine had indeed occurred. [https://books.google.com/books?id=5Ef8Hrx8Cd0C&pg Century of Genocide: Critical Essays and Eyewitness Accounts - Page 93] ISBN 0415944295</ref>

The Holodomor was denied immediately and repeatedly by Soviet authorities (starting with President [[Mikhail Kalinin]] and Foreign Minister [[Maxim Litvinov]]), and this denial continued unabated, well into the 1980s.<ref name="Conquest">[[Robert Conquest]], ''The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine'' [[Oxford University Press]] (1987), ISBN 0195051807, p. 308. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Bp31GmfH-6YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=harvest+of+sorrow&sig=ONivvVYlMPCPY0pb41NXw-AL8dE#PPA320,M1]</ref>

The Soviet stance was supported by Soviet-friendly journalists in the [[Western world|West]], such as [[Walter Duranty]] and [[Louis Fischer]]. Today, Holodomor denial continues to exist among [[leftist]] fringe writers and pseudo-scholars. It is not supported by serious academic scholars.

In 1997 Russia, several years after the collapse of the USSR, finally acknowledged the Holodomor. In November 2006, the [[Verkhovna Rada|Ukrainian Parliament]] passed a bill branding the Holodomor as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people.<ref>Jan Maksymiuk, [http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/11/03ac02a4-6e3a-481b-8932-fafd4c13abab.html "Ukraine: Parliament Recognizes Soviet-Era Famine As Genocide"], ''[[Radio Free Europe|RFE/RL]]'', November 29, 2006</ref> In November 2007, the government of [[Ukraine]] tabled a law which would make public statements of both Holodomor and [[Holocaust denial]] illegal acts in Ukraine.

==Soviet Union==
===Initial cover-up during the famine===
The Soviet leadership undertook extensive efforts to prevent the spread of any information about the Holodomor. State communications about the famine were kept a [[top secret]]. [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Vyacheslav Molotov]] sent a telegram to the party and provincial police chiefs requiring that Ukrainian peasants going north to [[Russia]] to seek bread were to be stopped.<ref name="Expectation 2004 page 102">[[Robert Conquest]] ''The Dragons of Expectation. Reality and Delusion in the Course of History'', W.W. Norton and Company (2004), ISBN 0-393-05933-2, page 102.</ref> The telegram blamed the influx of peasants on [[Poland|Polish]] agents, who allegedly wanted to start a famine scare. [[State Political Directorate|OGPU]] chairman [[Genrikh Yagoda]] reported that over two hundred thousands peasants had been sent back. The secret correspondence included a letter sent by a party official from [[Dnipropetrovsk]] where he warned that "there will be no one left" alive to sow and ensure grain production, unless some amount of grain will not be taken. Molotov replied that the needs of the state, as "defined in party resolutions", are more important than the lives of people.<ref name="Expectation 2004 page 102"/>

Various acts were committed to conceal the true number of dead people. Out of 9,472 only 3,997 corpses were registered in the Kyiv Medical Inspectorate. Similar cover-ups took place everywhere.<ref name="reflections"/>

===Early years===
While the famine was taking place, [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] authorities denied its existence. It was a criminal offense to mention the famine, punishable with a five-year term in the [[Gulag]] [[labor camp]]s; placing the blame on the authorities led to a death sentence.<ref name="reflections">[[Robert Conquest]] ''Reflections on a Ravaged Century'' (2000) ISBN 0-393-04818-7, p. 96</ref>

As a result, the population growth failed to meet the expected targets set by the Communist party. When this became evident from the population statistics data, three successive heads of the [[Goskomstat|Soviet Central Statistical Administration]] were executed, while others were arrested.<ref>Lisa Shymko, [http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12306 "The Politics of Genocide"], ''[[The American Spectator]]'', November 14, 2007</ref>

The [[Soviet Census (1937)|1937 Soviet Census]] was thought to be exemplary due to its apparent thoroughness and near-perfect organization. Government officials in charge of the census received state awards immediately upon the census conclusion. When it became apparent that the final population figures were significantly lower than expected, the results were classified and the census organizers were repressed. The new [[Soviet Census (1939)|1939 census]] was organized in such a way as to have certainly inflated data on population numbers. It showed a population figure of 170.6 million people, manipulated so as to match the numbers stated by [[Joseph Stalin]] in his report to the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party. No other censuses were conducted until 1959.

=== Official Holodomor denial by Soviet officials ===
Soviet President [[Mikhail Kalinin]] responded to Western offers of food by telling of “political cheats who offer to help the starving Ukraine,” and commented that, “only the most decadent classes are capable of producing such cynical elements."<ref name="reflections"/><ref>[http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/3513136.html How Liberals Funked It]</ref>

In an interview with [[Gareth Jones]] in March 1933, Soviet Foreign Minister [[Maxim Litvinov]] stated, “Well, there is no famine", and went on to say, "You must take a longer view. The present hunger is temporary. In writing books you must have a longer view. It would be difficult to describe it as hunger.”<ref name="Jones-Litvinov">[[Gareth Jones]], [http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/st_patricks/litvinov_famine_denia_oldl.htm Interview with Maxim Litvinov], March 1933</ref>

On instructions from Litvinov, Boris Skvirsky, embassy counselor of the recently opened Soviet Embassy in the [[United States]], published a letter on January 3, 1934, in response to a pamphlet about the Holodomor.<ref name="Carynnyk">Marco Carynnyk, [http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1983/398325.shtml "The New York Times and the Great Famine"], ''The Ukrainian Weekly'', September 25, 1983, No. 39, Vol. LI</ref> In his letter, Skvirsky stated that the idea that the Soviet government was "deliberately killing the population of the Ukraine" "wholly grotesque." He claimed that the Ukrainian population was increasing at an annual rate of 2 percent during the preceding five years. He asserted that the death rate in Ukraine "was the lowest of that of any of the constituent republics composing the Soviet Union," concluding that it "was about 35 percent lower than the pre-war death rate of [[Russian Empire|tsarist]] days."<ref name="Mace">James E. Mace, [http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1988/028822.shtml "Collaboration in the suppression of the Ukrainian famine"] (paper delivered at a conference on "Recognition and Denial of Genocide and Mass Killing in the 20th Century", held in [[New York City]] on November 13, 1987), ''[[The Ukrainian Weekly]]'', January 10, 1988, No. 2, Vol. LVI</ref>

===The early 1980s===
In 1983 for the first time, Holodomor remembrance was co-ordinated by the Ukrainian community worldwide. The [[Ukrainian diaspora]] exerted pressure on the media and various governments, including the governments of the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], to raise the issue of the Holodomor with the government of the Soviet Union. The United States created a Commission into the famine. The Soviet authorities predicted this commission would place the Soviet state responsible for the act.<ref name="symp">[http://www.cym.org/au/archives/Holodomor.pdf The Great Famine of 1932-33 - A Symposium], 22 October 2003, pp.4-5</ref>

In an attempt to counter this, the [[Soviet government]] admitted that some peasantry died to climatic conditions, mainly [[drought]].

===Glasnost and the late 1980s===
The future [[President of Ukraine]], [[Leonid Kravchuk]], was charged in 1983 with finding rainfall evidence for the 1930s famine. However, Kravchuk's inquiry into the rainfalls for the 1933-1932 period found that they were within normal parameters.<ref name="Bandera">Stephen Bandera, [http://www.homin.ca/news_view.php?category=top&news=1016&lang=en "Holodomor as a source of national unity"], ''Ukrainian Echo'', February 5, 2007</ref>

It was only during the late 1980s that the Soviet Government admitted that its agricultural policies played a direct role in the causing Holodomor. Ultimately, as President of Ukraine, Kravchuk would admit to the cover-up attempts, and support in recognizing the Holodomor as genocide.<ref name="Bandera"/>

==Contemporary denial outside of the USSR==
===Walter Duranty and ''The New York Times''===
One of the first Western Holodomor deniers was [[Walter Duranty]]. Duranty was the winner of the 1932 [[Pulitzer prize]] in journalism in the category of correspondence, for his dispatches on [[Russia]] and the working out of the [[Five-Year Plan (USSR)|Five Year Plan]].<ref>[http://duranty.pelech.org/duranty2003/pulitzer2003.pdf "Correspondence between Markian Pelech and the Board of the Pulitzer Prizes regarding Walter Duranty's 1932 Pulitzer Prize"] (December 30, 2002–April 28, 2003)</ref> While the famine was raging, he wrote in the pages of ''[[The New York Times]]'' that "Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda," and that "There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition."<ref>[[Arnold Beichman]], [https://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/002/791vwuaz.asp ''Pulitzer-Winning Lies''], ''[[The Weekly Standard]]'', June 12, 2003</ref>

In his reports, Duranty downplayed the impact of food shortages in Ukraine. In private however, he told [[Eugene Lyons]] and reported to the [[United Kingdom|British]] Embassy that at least seven million had died of famine.<ref>Embassy dispatch dated 30 September 1933 included the following: "According to Mr. Duranty the population of [[North Caucasus]] and the Lower [[Volga River|Volga]] had decreased in the past year by three million, and the population of Ukraine by four to five million" (cited from ''"Reflections on the ravaged century"'', p. 123)</ref> Duranty acted more like a spokesman for the Soviet government than an independent reporter for a Western newspaper. As Duranty wrote in a dispatch from Moscow in March 1933, "Conditions are bad, but there is no famine... But—to put it brutally—you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."<ref name="NYT">[http://www.nytco.com/company/awards/statement.html "New York Times Statement About 1932 Pulitzer Prize Awarded to Walter Duranty"]</ref>

Duranty wrote articles denying the fact that the Holodomor was taking place in Ukraine. He also wrote denunciations of those who wrote about the famine, accusing them of being reactionaries and [[anti-communism|anti-Bolshevik]] [[propaganda|propagandists]]. Duranty continued to repeat Soviet disinformation without verifying its veracity. As the ''New York Times'' notes: "Taking Soviet propaganda at face value this way was completely misleading, as talking with ordinary Russians might have revealed even at the time."<ref name="NYT"/>

In August 1933, [[Theodor Cardinal Innitzer]] of [[Vienna]] called for relief efforts, stating that the Ukrainian famine was claiming lives “likely. . . numbered. . . by the millions” and driving those still alive to [[infanticide]] and [[cannibalism]]. ''The New York Times'', August 20, 1933, reported Innitzer's charge and published an official denial: “in the Soviet Union we have neither [[cannibalism|cannibals]] nor [[cardinal (Catholicism)|cardinals]]”. The next day, the Times added Duranty's own denial.

[[United Kingdom|British]] journalist [[Malcolm Muggeridge]] characterized Duranty as "the greatest liar of any journalist I have met in 50 years of journalism."<ref>[[Robert Conquest]]. ''The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine'' [[Oxford University Press]] (1987), ISBN 0195051807, page 320. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Bp31GmfH-6YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=harvest+of+sorrow&sig=ONivvVYlMPCPY0pb41NXw-AL8dE#PPA320,M1]</ref>

Campaigns were launched in 1986 for the retraction of the Pulitzer Prize given to ''[[The New York Times]]''. Despite the fact that the [[Times]] admits that the fraudulent coverage led to it receiving the prize, they have refused to relinquish it.<ref>[http://duranty.pelech.org/duranty2003/pulitzer2003.pdf Correspondence between Markian Pelech and the Board of Pulitzer Prizes]</ref> The Times acknowledges that "some of Duranty's editors criticized his reporting as tendentious", and that "collectivization was the main cause of a famine that killed millions of people in Ukraine, the Soviet [[breadbasket]], in 1932 and 1933 - two years after Duranty won his prize."<ref name="NYT"/>

===Louis Fischer and ''The Nation''===
[[Louis Fischer]], an American reporter who glossed over Soviet reality had a deep ideological commitment to [[Communism]] dating back to 1920. Fischer traveled to Ukraine in October and November 1932, for ''[[The Nation]]'', and was initially alarmed at what he saw. "In the [[Poltava]], [[Vinnitsa]], [[Podolsk]] and [[Kiev]] regions, conditions will be hard," he wrote, "I think there is no starvation anywhere in Ukraine now — after all they have just gathered in the harvest but it was a bad harvest."

Initially critical of the Soviet grain procurement program because it created food problem, Fischer adopted the official Soviet government view, which blamed the problem on Ukrainian [[counter-revolutionary]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]] "[[Wrecking (Soviet crime)|wreckers]]." It seemed "whole villages" had been "contaminated" by such men, who were deported to "lumbering camps and mining areas in distant agricultural areas which are now just entering upon their pioneering stage." These steps were forced upon the [[Kremlin]], Fischer wrote, but the Soviets were, nevertheless, learning how to rule wisely.

Fischer was on a lecture tour in the United States when [[Gareth Jones]] famine story broke. Speaking to a college audience in [[Oakland, California]], a week later, Fischer stated emphatically: "There is no starvation in [[Russia]]." He spent the spring of 1933 campaigning for American diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union. As rumors of a famine in the USSR reached American shores, Fischer continued to vociferously deny the reports.

Fischer's article entitled "Russia's Last Hard Year," stated, "The first half of 1933 was very difficult indeed. Many people simply did not have sufficient nourishment." Fischer blamed poor weather and the refusal of peasants to harvest the grain, which then rotted in the fields. Government requisitions drained the countryside of food, he admitted, but military needs (a potential conflict with [[Japan]]) explained the need for such deadly thoroughness in grain collections.<ref name="fischer">[http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/westobservs.htm Louis Fisher], at ArtUkraine.com</ref>

Fischer maintained his general optimism about the Soviet Union through the publication of his ''Soviet Journey'' in 1935. The book devoted three pages to a discussion of the famine of 1932–1933, where he wrote of food left rotting in the fields as the result of peasants' "passive resistance." Fischer once again blamed the peasants directly for having "brought the calamity upon themselves" and stressed the positive results ensuing from Bolshevik victory in the countryside, and connected the famine to peasant action (or inaction).<ref name="fischer"/>

===Communist Party of the USA ===
The Ukrainian American community upon receiving reports of the Famine in November and December 1933 organized marches in a number of U.S. cities to protest against American recognition of a government which was starving millions of Ukrainians.<ref name="ukrweekly.com">[http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1988/028822.shtml Collaboration in the suppression of the Ukrainian famine]</ref><ref name="sulz">[http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/duranty42.htm Letter to Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Publisher, NY Times]</ref> [[Communist Party USA|American Communists]] resorted to violence in an attempt to silence the Ukrainians.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz"/><ref>[http://www.shevchenko.org/famine/21_27.htm Dushnyck, Walter. 50 Years Ago: The Famine Holocaust in Ukraine: Terror and Human Misery as Instruments of Russian Imperialism]</ref> On November 18, 1933, in [[New York City]], 8,000 Ukrainians marched from [[Washington Square Park, New York|Washington Square Park]] to 67th Street, while 500 Communists ran beside the parade and snatched the Ukrainians' handbills, spat on the marchers and tried to hit them.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz"/> Five persons were injured.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/> Only the presence of 300 policemen on foot and a score on horseback leading the parade and riding along its flanks prevented serious trouble.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz" />

In [[Chicago]], on December 17, 1933, several hundred Communists mounted a massed attack on the vanguard of 5,000 Ukrainian American marchers, leaving over 100 injured in what ''The New York Times'' called "the worst riot in years":

"Brick, clubs, rotten eggs and other missiles rained on the marchers from the Hermitage Avenue elevated station bridging Madison Street. The street fight which followed saw brass knuckles, blackjacks, fists and rifle butts used until a dozen squads of police restored order."<ref name="Mace"/>

=== Holodomor denial by Foreign Dignitaries visiting the USSR ===
Prominent dignitaries who visited the Soviet Union in 1934, such as [[George Bernard Shaw]] and [[H. G. Wells]], are also on record as denying the existence of the Famine in Ukraine.<ref>[http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/exhibitions/communism/com107.html Stalin-Wells talk / the verbatim record and a discussion by G.B. Shaw, H.G. Wells, J.M. Keynes, E. Toller and others]</ref>

In 1934 the British Foreign Office in the House of Lords stated that there was no evidence to support the allegations against the Soviet government regarding the Famine in Ukraine. The testimony of Sir John Maynard, a renowned famine expert who visited the Ukraine in the summer of 1933 rejected tales of famine-genocide propagated by the Ukrainians.<ref>[http://www.stalinsociety.org.uk/ukrainian.html The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth]</ref>

The height of manipulation was reached during a visit to Ukraine carried out between August 26 and September 9, 1933, by [[Prime Minister of France|French Prime Minister]] [[Edouard Herriot]], who denied accounts of the famine. The day before his arrival, all beggars, homeless children and starving people were removed from the streets. Shop windows in local stores were filled with food, but purchases were forbidden, and anyone coming too close to the stores was arrested. The streets were washed. Just like all other [[Western World|Western]] visitors, Herriot met fake "peasants," all selected Communists or Komsomol members, who showed him healthy cattle.<ref>''Reflections'', p. 122</ref> Herriot declared to the press that there was no famine in Ukraine, that he did not see any trace of it, and that this showed adversaries of the Soviet Union were spreading the rumor. "When one believes that the Ukraine is devastated by famine, allow me to shrug my shoulders," he declared. The September 13, 1933 issue of ''[[Pravda]]'' was able to write that Herriot "categorically contradicted the lies of the bourgeoisie press in connection with a famine in the
USSR.".<ref>[http://colley.co.uk/garethjones/ukraine2005/Etienne%20Thevein%20%20English%20translation.pdf "France, Germany and Austria Facing the famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine"]</ref>

The lack of knowledge of this genocide was observed by English writer [[George Orwell]], who commented that "''huge events like the Ukraine famine of 1933, involving the deaths of millions of people, have actually escaped the attention of the majority of [[England|English]] [[Russophiles]]"''.<ref>George Orwell, "''Notes on Nationalism''" in "The ''Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell''" ([[London]], 1968), Vol. 3, p. 370.</ref>

Orwell clearly knew of a press cover-up about the famine as in his 1945, Proposed Preface to Animal Farm he wrote:
“…it was considered equally proper to publicize famines when they happened in India and to conceal them when they happened in the Ukraine. And if this was true before the war, the intellectual atmosphere is certainly no better now.”<ref>[http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/soviet_articles/farmer_jones-%20reorder.htm Was Gareth Jones's surname behind George Orwell’s naming of ‘Farmer Jones' in Animal Farm?.]</ref> For an interesting 'work-in-progress' including a discussion on the influence of the Ukrainian Famine and Holodomor denial by Duranty on Orwell's book "Animal Farm" see Nigel Colley's article [http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/soviet_articles/farmer_jones-%20reorder.htm Was Gareth Jones's surname behind George Orwell’s naming of ‘Farmer Jones' in Animal Farm?].

==Modern denial==
===The 50th Anniversary===
The rallying and lobbying of the Ukrainian Diaspora Community around the 50th anniversary of the Holodomor became a concern for the governing body of the Soviet Union.<ref name="symp"/> In February 1983, the [[Politburo]] of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] (CPSU) activated its counter-[[propaganda]] section to focus on the Ukrainian famine. The head of the directorate for relations with foreign countries for the CPSU, A. Merkulov, was given the task of directing [[disinformation]] to the West and contacted [[Leonid Kravchuk]], the chief idealog for the Communist Party in Ukraine. The materials were to be sent to the [[RIA Novosti|Novosti Press]] (APN) centers in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] to demonstrate the "antidemocratic base of the Ukrainian bourgeois Nationalists, the collaboration of the [[Stepan Bandera|Banderovtsev]] and the [[Adolf Hitler|Hitlerite]] Fascists during the [[World War II|Second World War]]."<ref>ЦГАООУ. Ф.1. Оп. 25 Д. 2719. Л.27-28. Подлинник.</ref>

In preparation for the expected rise in activity associated with the 55th anniversary, the Soviet Union launched a campaign of disinformation. In [[Canada]], the [[Association of United Ukrainian Canadians]] (a pro-Communist Labor temple (Hall) movement in the Ukrainian community) published numerous articles denying the Holodomor in Ukraine in its English and Ukrainian language magazines and newspapers. Through its chain of bookstore outlets, it distributed pamphlets and materials whose point supplied to them from the counter-propaganda section of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 2007, correspondence and instructions from Soviet sources such as the [[Ukraina Society]] to the organization regarding the Holodomor have been made available for study by scholars.

In an open letter to [[Mikhail Gorbachov]] in August 1987, veteran dissident [[Viacheslav Chornovil]] wrote about the denial of the Holodomor by the Communist Party of the USSR, and also Western denial.<ref>[http://www.artukraine.com/historical/sovcrimes.htm "Soviet crimes remain unpunished"]</ref>
<blockquote>
"The biggest and most infamous blank spot in the Soviet history of Ukraine is the hollow silence for over 50 years about the genocide of the Ukrainian nation organized by Stalin and his henchmen ... The Great Famine of 1932-33, which took millions of human lives. In one year - 1933 - my people lost more than throughout all of World War II, which ravaged our land."
</blockquote>

===Douglas Tottle and Holodomor denial ===
In 1987 the Canadian trade-unionist and activist [[Douglas Tottle]], published the controversial book ''Fraud, Famine, and Fascism: the Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard'', where he falsely claimed that the Holodomor was "fraudulent", and "a creation of [[Nazism|Nazi]] propagandists".<ref name="tottle">Douglas Tottle, [http://www.rationalrevolution.net/special/library/famine.htm/ "Fraud, famine, and fascism: the Ukrainian genocide myth from Hitler to Harvard"], Toronto: Progress Books, 1987. ISBN 0919396518</ref> By the author's own account, his book is only carried by 28 libraries around the world. His book, published by the Communist ''Progress Publishers'' in [[Toronto]], appeared practically at the same time Ukrainian Communist party leader [[Volodymyr Shcherbytsky]] publicly acknowledged the Holodomor, in December 1987, and the book was subsequently withdrawn from circulation.<ref>[http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2003/2003-September/021722.html link Letter from David R. Marples]</ref> Only the first two chapters of Tottle's book deal with the Famine in Ukraine. The rest is written to discredit the work done by western Scholars, to associate the Ukrainian diaspora in the West with Fascism, and to discredit the US support of Holodomor research, all with no evidence to back its claims and relying heavily on [[deceit]]. Nevertheless, the book is available on the internet, and continues to be cited as an "invaluable" and "important" book by groups such as the [[Stalin Society]] in [[Great Britain]], author [[Jeff Coplon]], and others.

In a review of Tottle's book in the ''[[Ukrainian Canadian Magazine]]'', published by the pro-Communist Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, [[Wilfred Szczesny]] wrote: "Members of the general public who want to know about the famine, its extent and causes, and about the motives and techniques of those who would make this tragedy into something other than what it was will find Tottle's work invaluable" (''The Ukrainian Canadian'', April 1988, p. 24).<ref name="Szcz">[http://www.infoukes.com/history/famine/serbyn/ "The last stand of the Ukrainian famine-genocide deniers"]</ref>

In his book, ''Searching for place'', Lubomyr Luciuk comments: "For a particularly base example of famine-denial literature, see Tottle, ''Fraud, famine, and fascism...''".<ref>Lubomyr Luciuk, ''Searching for place: Ukrainian displaced persons, Canada, and the migration of memory'', Toronto: [[University of Toronto Press]], 2000, p. 413. ISBN 0802042457</ref> Professor [[Roman Serbyn]] a professor of history at the University of Quebec at Montreal has published an analysis and critical review of Tottles book which is available [http://www.infoukes.com/history/famine/serbyn/ here].

===Jeff Coplon===
Tottle's book inspired a number of articles by other Holodomor deniers, such as [[Jeff Coplon]]'s article ''"In Search of a Soviet Holocaust"''.<ref name="coplon">Jeff Coplon, [http://www.chss.montclair.edu/English/furr/vv.html "In Search of a Soviet Holocaust"], ''[[The Village Voice]]'', January 12, 1988.</ref> This article not only denies the Holodomor, but also falsely tries to associate those who continued to bring the Holodomor to the attention of the public with the [[Nazism|Nazis]], even giving quotes from [[Adolf Hitler]]'s ''[[Mein Kampf]]'' to stress this point.
<blockquote>
"Just as the Nazis used the [[OUN]] for their own ends, so has [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] exploited the famine, from his purple-prosed commemoration of "this callous act" to his backing of the Mace commission. ... But if people could be convinced that Communism is worse than fascism; that [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] was an insane monster, even worse than Hitler; that the seven million died in more unspeakable agony than the six million ... One cannot appease an [[Evil empire|Evil Empire]], after all.<ref name="coplon" />
</blockquote>
Coplon also penned the article ''"Rewriting History - How Ukrainian nationalists imposed their doctored history on High School Students"'' heavily relying on Tottle's publication with his additional comments regarding the inclusion the Holodomor as one of a number of subjects included in the curriculum for social studies classes in New York. In the article published in the magazine "CAPITAL Region" March 1988, he wrote: <blockquote>
''"The losers, of course, are the New York state schoolchildren, who will absorb this disinformation between algebra and chemistry - and may even be asked to parrot the fraud for a higher score on their regents exam."''

Other similar writings include an article by [[Wilfred Szczesny]] ("Fraud, Famine and Fascism", ''The Ukrainian Canadian'', April 1988); an unsigned article ("The Ukrainian Famine: Fact or Fiction"), which appeared in the ''[[McGill Daily]]'', November 22, 1988,<ref name="Szcz" /> and Challenge-Desafio's ("The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33"),<ref>[http://www.plp.org/cd_sup/ukfam1.html The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33]</ref> which appeared in a newspaper of the [[Progressive Labor Party (United States)|Progressive Labor Party]] in 1987.<ref>[http://www.plp.org/cd_sup/ukfam1.html "The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33"], ''Challenge-Desafio'', February 25, 1987.</ref>

===Stephan Merl===
In 1989, [[Stephan Merl]] (a professor at [[Bielefeld University]]) published "Entfachte Stalin die Hungersnot von 1932-1933 zur Auslöschung des ukrainischen Nationalismus?".<ref>Stephan Merl, "Entfachte Stalin die Hungersnot von 1932-1933 zur Auslöschung des ukrainischen Nationalismus?", ''Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas'' 37 (1989), vol. 4, p. 569-590</ref> This publication, once again relying heavily on Tottle, describes the work of [[James Mace]] and [[Robert Conquest]] as part of a campaign by Ukrainian nationalists to discredit the Soviet Union and pillory liberal journalists like Walter Duranty.<ref>[http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2003/2003-September/021722.html Letters of David Marples]</ref>

===Mario Sousa===
In 1998 [[Mario Sousa]] published "''Lies Concerning the History of the Soviet Union''".<ref>[http://www.mariosousa.se/LiesconcerningthehistoryoftheSovietUnion.html Lies concerning the history of the Soviet Union]</ref>

Sousa's arguments against the Holodomor are based on his interpretation that the early Holodomor campaign was started by the Nazis and was later taken up and funded by Ukrainian refugees who he falsely claims were "Nazi collaborators". Sousa continues that Holodomor scholarship was later supported by the CIA during the [[Cold War]] specifically aimed at slandering and discrediting the Soviet government.

===The Stalin Society===
Holodomor denial continues into the 21st century with the publication of "''The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth''", a pamphlet penned by prominent British physician [[John Puntis]] and published in July 2002 by the [[Stalin Society]]. The Stalin Society itself has been described as "''tiny, aging and schism-ridden''".<ref>[http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article120991.ece "Stalin apologists drink to the memory of Uncle Joe"], ''[[The Independent]]'', 2 March 2003</ref> Once again heavily relying on Tottle, facts are reinterpreted with sources questioned, numbers questioned and the whole history of the famine made to look like the continuation of the Cold War.<ref>[http://www.stalinsociety.org.uk/ukrainian.html#After The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth]</ref>

===Soviet role===
In 1988 the International Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraine was set up to establish whether the famine existed and its cause. Tottle was invited by the commission to attend the hearings, however he ignored the request. While the commission was organized along judicial lines, it had no judicial power to compel witnesses to attend or testify. However Tottle's book was examined during the Brussels sitting of the commission,<ref>[http://www.ioir.se/ukrfamine.htm International Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraine by Prof. Jacob Sundberg]</ref> held between May 23–27, 1988, with testimony from various expert witnesses. The commission president Professor Jacob Sundberg subsequently concluded that Tottle was not alone in his enterprise to deny the famine on the basis that material included in his book could not have been available to a private person without official Soviet assistance.<ref>A.J.Hobbins, Daniel Boyer, ''Seeking Historical Truth: the International Commission of Inquiry into the 1932-33 Famine in the Ukraine'', Dalhousie Law Journal, 2001, Vol 24, page 166</ref>

==Holodomor denial in University courses==
In 2004 Toronto University offered a history course on "The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question" by M. Rodsky. Rather than starting from a neutral point of view, Rodsky took a revisionist version of Stalin and the history of the Soviet Union. In his third lecture in the series he approached "The Famine in Ukraine: What is the Truth?". The reading list consisted exclusively of materials that denied the existence of the Holodomor.<ref>[http://individual.utoronto.ca/mrodden/study/ssustudy.html The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question]</ref>

==Symposia about Holodomor denial==
In November 2007, an International Conference entitled ''The Ukrainian Holodomor and the Denial of Genocides'' was organized by the [[Guarini Institute]], and held at [[John Cabot University]], in [[Italy]]. The Ukrainian Ambassador, [[Heorhiy Cheriavskyi]], addressed the conference and spoke about the importance of international education and recognition of the Ukrainian Holodomor. [[Federigo Argentieri]], from the Guarini Institute, read the paper: “''Ideology and Diplomacy: How the Ukrainian Famine Was—and Still is—Denied''.” In his presentation, Argentieri introduced the history of denial of the Ukrainian famine of 1932–33. Conflicting reports on the events in 1933 highlighted the willingness of the [[great power|Great Powers]] to ignore the plain facts witnessed by British government officials in the Soviet Union. At the time, political and economic interests took precedence over internal human rights matters. Argentieri noted that today, the famine remains virtually ignored, even in academic circles in the West.<ref>[http://intranet.johncabot.edu/myjcu/public_site/news.aspx?cat=News "The Ukranian Holodomor and the Denial of Genocides"]</ref>

==Holodomor denial and Ukrainian law==
On November 28, 2006, Ukraine's parliament, the [[Verkhovna Rada]], passed a law recognizing the 1932–1933 Holodomor as an act of genocide by the Stalin regime against the Ukrainian people. The voting figures were as follows: supporting the bill were [[BYuT]]—118 deputies, [[NSNU]]—79 deputies, [[Socialist Party of Ukraine|Socialists]]—30 deputies, 4 independent deputies, and the [[Party of Regions]]—2 deputies (200 deputies did not cast a vote). The [[Communist Party of Ukraine]] predictably voted against the bill. In all, 233 deputies supported the bill—a minimum of 226 votes were required for it to be passed.<ref>[http://www.day.kiev.ua/179841/ "Holodomor and Holocaust denial to be a criminal offense"], 3 April 2007</ref><ref>[http://www.lucorg.com/luc/news.php?id=2241 "What the Verkhovna Rada actually passed"], February 28, 2007</ref>

A draft law "On Amendments to the Criminal and the Procedural Criminal Codes of Ukraine" was submitted by [[President of Ukraine|President]] [[Viktor Yushchenko]] for consideration by the [[Verkhovna Rada|Ukrainian Parliament]]. The draft law envisages prosecution for public denial of the Holodomor Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine as a fact of genocide of the Ukrainian people, and of [[the Holocaust]] as the fact of genocide of the [[Jew]]ish people. The draft law foresees that public denial as well as production and dissemination of materials denying the above shall be punished by a fine of 100 to 300 untaxed minimum salaries, or imprisonment of up to two years.<ref>[http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/index.php?id=148&listid=56782 "Public denial of Holodomor Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as genocide of Ukrainian people to be prosecuted"], December 12, 2007</ref>

Holodomor denial

2021-09-11T21:49:21Z

I love blue:

Holodomor denial is the denial of the holodomor, a large-scale man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine that killed around 3.9 million people.

Initially he Soviet government dismissed all references to the famine as anti-Soviet propaganda. Denial of the famine declined after the Communist Party lost power and the Soviet empire disintegrated'' @ [https://books.google.com/books?ei=_WZ3R9CwDZnmtQO3xeXQCg&id=c-8YAAAAIAAJ&dq=Holodomor+Denial&q=%22Denial+of+the+famine%22&pgis=1#search Encyclopedia of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity By Dinah Shelton; Page 1055] ISBN 0028658485</ref><ref>After over half a century of denial, in January 1990 the [[Communist Party of Ukraine]] adopted a special resolution admitting that the Ukrainian Famine had indeed occurred. [https://books.google.com/books?id=5Ef8Hrx8Cd0C&pg Century of Genocide: Critical Essays and Eyewitness Accounts - Page 93] ISBN 0415944295</ref>

The Holodomor was denied immediately and repeatedly by Soviet authorities (starting with President [[Mikhail Kalinin]] and Foreign Minister [[Maxim Litvinov]]), and this denial continued unabated, well into the 1980s.<ref name="Conquest">[[Robert Conquest]], ''The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine'' [[Oxford University Press]] (1987), ISBN 0195051807, p. 308. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Bp31GmfH-6YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=harvest+of+sorrow&sig=ONivvVYlMPCPY0pb41NXw-AL8dE#PPA320,M1]</ref>

The Soviet stance was supported by Soviet-friendly journalists in the [[Western world|West]], such as [[Walter Duranty]] and [[Louis Fischer]]. Today, Holodomor denial continues to exist among [[leftist]] fringe writers and pseudo-scholars. It is not supported by serious academic scholars.

In 1997 Russia, several years after the collapse of the USSR, finally acknowledged the Holodomor. In November 2006, the [[Verkhovna Rada|Ukrainian Parliament]] passed a bill branding the Holodomor as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people.<ref>Jan Maksymiuk, [http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/11/03ac02a4-6e3a-481b-8932-fafd4c13abab.html "Ukraine: Parliament Recognizes Soviet-Era Famine As Genocide"], ''[[Radio Free Europe|RFE/RL]]'', November 29, 2006</ref> In November 2007, the government of [[Ukraine]] tabled a law which would make public statements of both Holodomor and [[Holocaust denial]] illegal acts in Ukraine.

==Soviet Union==
===Initial cover-up during the famine===
The Soviet leadership undertook extensive efforts to prevent the spread of any information about the Holodomor. State communications about the famine were kept a [[top secret]]. [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Vyacheslav Molotov]] sent a telegram to the party and provincial police chiefs requiring that Ukrainian peasants going north to [[Russia]] to seek bread were to be stopped.<ref name="Expectation 2004 page 102">[[Robert Conquest]] ''The Dragons of Expectation. Reality and Delusion in the Course of History'', W.W. Norton and Company (2004), ISBN 0-393-05933-2, page 102.</ref> The telegram blamed the influx of peasants on [[Poland|Polish]] agents, who allegedly wanted to start a famine scare. [[State Political Directorate|OGPU]] chairman [[Genrikh Yagoda]] reported that over two hundred thousands peasants had been sent back. The secret correspondence included a letter sent by a party official from [[Dnipropetrovsk]] where he warned that "there will be no one left" alive to sow and ensure grain production, unless some amount of grain will not be taken. Molotov replied that the needs of the state, as "defined in party resolutions", are more important than the lives of people.<ref name="Expectation 2004 page 102"/>

Various acts were committed to conceal the true number of dead people. Out of 9,472 only 3,997 corpses were registered in the Kyiv Medical Inspectorate. Similar cover-ups took place everywhere.<ref name="reflections"/>

===Early years===
While the famine was taking place, [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] authorities denied its existence. It was a criminal offense to mention the famine, punishable with a five-year term in the [[Gulag]] [[labor camp]]s; placing the blame on the authorities led to a death sentence.<ref name="reflections">[[Robert Conquest]] ''Reflections on a Ravaged Century'' (2000) ISBN 0-393-04818-7, p. 96</ref>

As a result, the population growth failed to meet the expected targets set by the Communist party. When this became evident from the population statistics data, three successive heads of the [[Goskomstat|Soviet Central Statistical Administration]] were executed, while others were arrested.<ref>Lisa Shymko, [http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12306 "The Politics of Genocide"], ''[[The American Spectator]]'', November 14, 2007</ref>

The [[Soviet Census (1937)|1937 Soviet Census]] was thought to be exemplary due to its apparent thoroughness and near-perfect organization. Government officials in charge of the census received state awards immediately upon the census conclusion. When it became apparent that the final population figures were significantly lower than expected, the results were classified and the census organizers were repressed. The new [[Soviet Census (1939)|1939 census]] was organized in such a way as to have certainly inflated data on population numbers. It showed a population figure of 170.6 million people, manipulated so as to match the numbers stated by [[Joseph Stalin]] in his report to the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party. No other censuses were conducted until 1959.

=== Official Holodomor denial by Soviet officials ===
Soviet President [[Mikhail Kalinin]] responded to Western offers of food by telling of “political cheats who offer to help the starving Ukraine,” and commented that, “only the most decadent classes are capable of producing such cynical elements."<ref name="reflections"/><ref>[http://www.hoover.org/publications/digest/3513136.html How Liberals Funked It]</ref>

In an interview with [[Gareth Jones]] in March 1933, Soviet Foreign Minister [[Maxim Litvinov]] stated, “Well, there is no famine", and went on to say, "You must take a longer view. The present hunger is temporary. In writing books you must have a longer view. It would be difficult to describe it as hunger.”<ref name="Jones-Litvinov">[[Gareth Jones]], [http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/st_patricks/litvinov_famine_denia_oldl.htm Interview with Maxim Litvinov], March 1933</ref>

On instructions from Litvinov, Boris Skvirsky, embassy counselor of the recently opened Soviet Embassy in the [[United States]], published a letter on January 3, 1934, in response to a pamphlet about the Holodomor.<ref name="Carynnyk">Marco Carynnyk, [http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1983/398325.shtml "The New York Times and the Great Famine"], ''The Ukrainian Weekly'', September 25, 1983, No. 39, Vol. LI</ref> In his letter, Skvirsky stated that the idea that the Soviet government was "deliberately killing the population of the Ukraine" "wholly grotesque." He claimed that the Ukrainian population was increasing at an annual rate of 2 percent during the preceding five years. He asserted that the death rate in Ukraine "was the lowest of that of any of the constituent republics composing the Soviet Union," concluding that it "was about 35 percent lower than the pre-war death rate of [[Russian Empire|tsarist]] days."<ref name="Mace">James E. Mace, [http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1988/028822.shtml "Collaboration in the suppression of the Ukrainian famine"] (paper delivered at a conference on "Recognition and Denial of Genocide and Mass Killing in the 20th Century", held in [[New York City]] on November 13, 1987), ''[[The Ukrainian Weekly]]'', January 10, 1988, No. 2, Vol. LVI</ref>

===The early 1980s===
In 1983 for the first time, Holodomor remembrance was co-ordinated by the Ukrainian community worldwide. The [[Ukrainian diaspora]] exerted pressure on the media and various governments, including the governments of the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], to raise the issue of the Holodomor with the government of the Soviet Union. The United States created a Commission into the famine. The Soviet authorities predicted this commission would place the Soviet state responsible for the act.<ref name="symp">[http://www.cym.org/au/archives/Holodomor.pdf The Great Famine of 1932-33 - A Symposium], 22 October 2003, pp.4-5</ref>

In an attempt to counter this, the [[Soviet government]] admitted that some peasantry died to climatic conditions, mainly [[drought]].

===Glasnost and the late 1980s===
The future [[President of Ukraine]], [[Leonid Kravchuk]], was charged in 1983 with finding rainfall evidence for the 1930s famine. However, Kravchuk's inquiry into the rainfalls for the 1933-1932 period found that they were within normal parameters.<ref name="Bandera">Stephen Bandera, [http://www.homin.ca/news_view.php?category=top&news=1016&lang=en "Holodomor as a source of national unity"], ''Ukrainian Echo'', February 5, 2007</ref>

It was only during the late 1980s that the Soviet Government admitted that its agricultural policies played a direct role in the causing Holodomor. Ultimately, as President of Ukraine, Kravchuk would admit to the cover-up attempts, and support in recognizing the Holodomor as genocide.<ref name="Bandera"/>

==Contemporary denial outside of the USSR==
===Walter Duranty and ''The New York Times''===
One of the first Western Holodomor deniers was [[Walter Duranty]]. Duranty was the winner of the 1932 [[Pulitzer prize]] in journalism in the category of correspondence, for his dispatches on [[Russia]] and the working out of the [[Five-Year Plan (USSR)|Five Year Plan]].<ref>[http://duranty.pelech.org/duranty2003/pulitzer2003.pdf "Correspondence between Markian Pelech and the Board of the Pulitzer Prizes regarding Walter Duranty's 1932 Pulitzer Prize"] (December 30, 2002–April 28, 2003)</ref> While the famine was raging, he wrote in the pages of ''[[The New York Times]]'' that "Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda," and that "There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition."<ref>[[Arnold Beichman]], [https://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/002/791vwuaz.asp ''Pulitzer-Winning Lies''], ''[[The Weekly Standard]]'', June 12, 2003</ref>

In his reports, Duranty downplayed the impact of food shortages in Ukraine. In private however, he told [[Eugene Lyons]] and reported to the [[United Kingdom|British]] Embassy that at least seven million had died of famine.<ref>Embassy dispatch dated 30 September 1933 included the following: "According to Mr. Duranty the population of [[North Caucasus]] and the Lower [[Volga River|Volga]] had decreased in the past year by three million, and the population of Ukraine by four to five million" (cited from ''"Reflections on the ravaged century"'', p. 123)</ref> Duranty acted more like a spokesman for the Soviet government than an independent reporter for a Western newspaper. As Duranty wrote in a dispatch from Moscow in March 1933, "Conditions are bad, but there is no famine... But—to put it brutally—you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."<ref name="NYT">[http://www.nytco.com/company/awards/statement.html "New York Times Statement About 1932 Pulitzer Prize Awarded to Walter Duranty"]</ref>

Duranty wrote articles denying the fact that the Holodomor was taking place in Ukraine. He also wrote denunciations of those who wrote about the famine, accusing them of being reactionaries and [[anti-communism|anti-Bolshevik]] [[propaganda|propagandists]]. Duranty continued to repeat Soviet disinformation without verifying its veracity. As the ''New York Times'' notes: "Taking Soviet propaganda at face value this way was completely misleading, as talking with ordinary Russians might have revealed even at the time."<ref name="NYT"/>

In August 1933, [[Theodor Cardinal Innitzer]] of [[Vienna]] called for relief efforts, stating that the Ukrainian famine was claiming lives “likely. . . numbered. . . by the millions” and driving those still alive to [[infanticide]] and [[cannibalism]]. ''The New York Times'', August 20, 1933, reported Innitzer's charge and published an official denial: “in the Soviet Union we have neither [[cannibalism|cannibals]] nor [[cardinal (Catholicism)|cardinals]]”. The next day, the Times added Duranty's own denial.

[[United Kingdom|British]] journalist [[Malcolm Muggeridge]] characterized Duranty as "the greatest liar of any journalist I have met in 50 years of journalism."<ref>[[Robert Conquest]]. ''The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine'' [[Oxford University Press]] (1987), ISBN 0195051807, page 320. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Bp31GmfH-6YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=harvest+of+sorrow&sig=ONivvVYlMPCPY0pb41NXw-AL8dE#PPA320,M1]</ref>

Campaigns were launched in 1986 for the retraction of the Pulitzer Prize given to ''[[The New York Times]]''. Despite the fact that the [[Times]] admits that the fraudulent coverage led to it receiving the prize, they have refused to relinquish it.<ref>[http://duranty.pelech.org/duranty2003/pulitzer2003.pdf Correspondence between Markian Pelech and the Board of Pulitzer Prizes]</ref> The Times acknowledges that "some of Duranty's editors criticized his reporting as tendentious", and that "collectivization was the main cause of a famine that killed millions of people in Ukraine, the Soviet [[breadbasket]], in 1932 and 1933 - two years after Duranty won his prize."<ref name="NYT"/>

===Louis Fischer and ''The Nation''===
[[Louis Fischer]], an American reporter who glossed over Soviet reality had a deep ideological commitment to [[Communism]] dating back to 1920. Fischer traveled to Ukraine in October and November 1932, for ''[[The Nation]]'', and was initially alarmed at what he saw. "In the [[Poltava]], [[Vinnitsa]], [[Podolsk]] and [[Kiev]] regions, conditions will be hard," he wrote, "I think there is no starvation anywhere in Ukraine now — after all they have just gathered in the harvest but it was a bad harvest."

Initially critical of the Soviet grain procurement program because it created food problem, Fischer adopted the official Soviet government view, which blamed the problem on Ukrainian [[counter-revolutionary]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]] "[[Wrecking (Soviet crime)|wreckers]]." It seemed "whole villages" had been "contaminated" by such men, who were deported to "lumbering camps and mining areas in distant agricultural areas which are now just entering upon their pioneering stage." These steps were forced upon the [[Kremlin]], Fischer wrote, but the Soviets were, nevertheless, learning how to rule wisely.

Fischer was on a lecture tour in the United States when [[Gareth Jones]] famine story broke. Speaking to a college audience in [[Oakland, California]], a week later, Fischer stated emphatically: "There is no starvation in [[Russia]]." He spent the spring of 1933 campaigning for American diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union. As rumors of a famine in the USSR reached American shores, Fischer continued to vociferously deny the reports.

Fischer's article entitled "Russia's Last Hard Year," stated, "The first half of 1933 was very difficult indeed. Many people simply did not have sufficient nourishment." Fischer blamed poor weather and the refusal of peasants to harvest the grain, which then rotted in the fields. Government requisitions drained the countryside of food, he admitted, but military needs (a potential conflict with [[Japan]]) explained the need for such deadly thoroughness in grain collections.<ref name="fischer">[http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/westobservs.htm Louis Fisher], at ArtUkraine.com</ref>

Fischer maintained his general optimism about the Soviet Union through the publication of his ''Soviet Journey'' in 1935. The book devoted three pages to a discussion of the famine of 1932–1933, where he wrote of food left rotting in the fields as the result of peasants' "passive resistance." Fischer once again blamed the peasants directly for having "brought the calamity upon themselves" and stressed the positive results ensuing from Bolshevik victory in the countryside, and connected the famine to peasant action (or inaction).<ref name="fischer"/>

===Communist Party of the USA ===
The Ukrainian American community upon receiving reports of the Famine in November and December 1933 organized marches in a number of U.S. cities to protest against American recognition of a government which was starving millions of Ukrainians.<ref name="ukrweekly.com">[http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1988/028822.shtml Collaboration in the suppression of the Ukrainian famine]</ref><ref name="sulz">[http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/duranty42.htm Letter to Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Publisher, NY Times]</ref> [[Communist Party USA|American Communists]] resorted to violence in an attempt to silence the Ukrainians.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz"/><ref>[http://www.shevchenko.org/famine/21_27.htm Dushnyck, Walter. 50 Years Ago: The Famine Holocaust in Ukraine: Terror and Human Misery as Instruments of Russian Imperialism]</ref> On November 18, 1933, in [[New York City]], 8,000 Ukrainians marched from [[Washington Square Park, New York|Washington Square Park]] to 67th Street, while 500 Communists ran beside the parade and snatched the Ukrainians' handbills, spat on the marchers and tried to hit them.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz"/> Five persons were injured.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/> Only the presence of 300 policemen on foot and a score on horseback leading the parade and riding along its flanks prevented serious trouble.<ref name="ukrweekly.com"/><ref name="sulz" />

In [[Chicago]], on December 17, 1933, several hundred Communists mounted a massed attack on the vanguard of 5,000 Ukrainian American marchers, leaving over 100 injured in what ''The New York Times'' called "the worst riot in years":

"Brick, clubs, rotten eggs and other missiles rained on the marchers from the Hermitage Avenue elevated station bridging Madison Street. The street fight which followed saw brass knuckles, blackjacks, fists and rifle butts used until a dozen squads of police restored order."<ref name="Mace"/>

=== Holodomor denial by Foreign Dignitaries visiting the USSR ===
Prominent dignitaries who visited the Soviet Union in 1934, such as [[George Bernard Shaw]] and [[H. G. Wells]], are also on record as denying the existence of the Famine in Ukraine.<ref>[http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/exhibitions/communism/com107.html Stalin-Wells talk / the verbatim record and a discussion by G.B. Shaw, H.G. Wells, J.M. Keynes, E. Toller and others]</ref>

In 1934 the British Foreign Office in the House of Lords stated that there was no evidence to support the allegations against the Soviet government regarding the Famine in Ukraine. The testimony of Sir John Maynard, a renowned famine expert who visited the Ukraine in the summer of 1933 rejected tales of famine-genocide propagated by the Ukrainians.<ref>[http://www.stalinsociety.org.uk/ukrainian.html The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth]</ref>

The height of manipulation was reached during a visit to Ukraine carried out between August 26 and September 9, 1933, by [[Prime Minister of France|French Prime Minister]] [[Edouard Herriot]], who denied accounts of the famine. The day before his arrival, all beggars, homeless children and starving people were removed from the streets. Shop windows in local stores were filled with food, but purchases were forbidden, and anyone coming too close to the stores was arrested. The streets were washed. Just like all other [[Western World|Western]] visitors, Herriot met fake "peasants," all selected Communists or Komsomol members, who showed him healthy cattle.<ref>''Reflections'', p. 122</ref> Herriot declared to the press that there was no famine in Ukraine, that he did not see any trace of it, and that this showed adversaries of the Soviet Union were spreading the rumor. "When one believes that the Ukraine is devastated by famine, allow me to shrug my shoulders," he declared. The September 13, 1933 issue of ''[[Pravda]]'' was able to write that Herriot "categorically contradicted the lies of the bourgeoisie press in connection with a famine in the
USSR.".<ref>[http://colley.co.uk/garethjones/ukraine2005/Etienne%20Thevein%20%20English%20translation.pdf "France, Germany and Austria Facing the famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine"]</ref>

The lack of knowledge of this genocide was observed by English writer [[George Orwell]], who commented that "''huge events like the Ukraine famine of 1933, involving the deaths of millions of people, have actually escaped the attention of the majority of [[England|English]] [[Russophiles]]"''.<ref>George Orwell, "''Notes on Nationalism''" in "The ''Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell''" ([[London]], 1968), Vol. 3, p. 370.</ref>

Orwell clearly knew of a press cover-up about the famine as in his 1945, Proposed Preface to Animal Farm he wrote:
“…it was considered equally proper to publicize famines when they happened in India and to conceal them when they happened in the Ukraine. And if this was true before the war, the intellectual atmosphere is certainly no better now.”<ref>[http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/soviet_articles/farmer_jones-%20reorder.htm Was Gareth Jones's surname behind George Orwell’s naming of ‘Farmer Jones' in Animal Farm?.]</ref> For an interesting 'work-in-progress' including a discussion on the influence of the Ukrainian Famine and Holodomor denial by Duranty on Orwell's book "Animal Farm" see Nigel Colley's article [http://www.colley.co.uk/garethjones/soviet_articles/farmer_jones-%20reorder.htm Was Gareth Jones's surname behind George Orwell’s naming of ‘Farmer Jones' in Animal Farm?].

==Modern denial==
===The 50th Anniversary===
The rallying and lobbying of the Ukrainian Diaspora Community around the 50th anniversary of the Holodomor became a concern for the governing body of the Soviet Union.<ref name="symp"/> In February 1983, the [[Politburo]] of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] (CPSU) activated its counter-[[propaganda]] section to focus on the Ukrainian famine. The head of the directorate for relations with foreign countries for the CPSU, A. Merkulov, was given the task of directing [[disinformation]] to the West and contacted [[Leonid Kravchuk]], the chief idealog for the Communist Party in Ukraine. The materials were to be sent to the [[RIA Novosti|Novosti Press]] (APN) centers in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] to demonstrate the "antidemocratic base of the Ukrainian bourgeois Nationalists, the collaboration of the [[Stepan Bandera|Banderovtsev]] and the [[Adolf Hitler|Hitlerite]] Fascists during the [[World War II|Second World War]]."<ref>ЦГАООУ. Ф.1. Оп. 25 Д. 2719. Л.27-28. Подлинник.</ref>

In preparation for the expected rise in activity associated with the 55th anniversary, the Soviet Union launched a campaign of disinformation. In [[Canada]], the [[Association of United Ukrainian Canadians]] (a pro-Communist Labor temple (Hall) movement in the Ukrainian community) published numerous articles denying the Holodomor in Ukraine in its English and Ukrainian language magazines and newspapers. Through its chain of bookstore outlets, it distributed pamphlets and materials whose point supplied to them from the counter-propaganda section of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 2007, correspondence and instructions from Soviet sources such as the [[Ukraina Society]] to the organization regarding the Holodomor have been made available for study by scholars.

In an open letter to [[Mikhail Gorbachov]] in August 1987, veteran dissident [[Viacheslav Chornovil]] wrote about the denial of the Holodomor by the Communist Party of the USSR, and also Western denial.<ref>[http://www.artukraine.com/historical/sovcrimes.htm "Soviet crimes remain unpunished"]</ref>
<blockquote>
"The biggest and most infamous blank spot in the Soviet history of Ukraine is the hollow silence for over 50 years about the genocide of the Ukrainian nation organized by Stalin and his henchmen ... The Great Famine of 1932-33, which took millions of human lives. In one year - 1933 - my people lost more than throughout all of World War II, which ravaged our land."
</blockquote>

===Douglas Tottle and Holodomor denial ===
In 1987 the Canadian trade-unionist and activist [[Douglas Tottle]], published the controversial book ''Fraud, Famine, and Fascism: the Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard'', where he falsely claimed that the Holodomor was "fraudulent", and "a creation of [[Nazism|Nazi]] propagandists".<ref name="tottle">Douglas Tottle, [http://www.rationalrevolution.net/special/library/famine.htm/ "Fraud, famine, and fascism: the Ukrainian genocide myth from Hitler to Harvard"], Toronto: Progress Books, 1987. ISBN 0919396518</ref> By the author's own account, his book is only carried by 28 libraries around the world. His book, published by the Communist ''Progress Publishers'' in [[Toronto]], appeared practically at the same time Ukrainian Communist party leader [[Volodymyr Shcherbytsky]] publicly acknowledged the Holodomor, in December 1987, and the book was subsequently withdrawn from circulation.<ref>[http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2003/2003-September/021722.html link Letter from David R. Marples]</ref> Only the first two chapters of Tottle's book deal with the Famine in Ukraine. The rest is written to discredit the work done by western Scholars, to associate the Ukrainian diaspora in the West with Fascism, and to discredit the US support of Holodomor research, all with no evidence to back its claims and relying heavily on [[deceit]]. Nevertheless, the book is available on the internet, and continues to be cited as an "invaluable" and "important" book by groups such as the [[Stalin Society]] in [[Great Britain]], author [[Jeff Coplon]], and others.

In a review of Tottle's book in the ''[[Ukrainian Canadian Magazine]]'', published by the pro-Communist Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, [[Wilfred Szczesny]] wrote: "Members of the general public who want to know about the famine, its extent and causes, and about the motives and techniques of those who would make this tragedy into something other than what it was will find Tottle's work invaluable" (''The Ukrainian Canadian'', April 1988, p. 24).<ref name="Szcz">[http://www.infoukes.com/history/famine/serbyn/ "The last stand of the Ukrainian famine-genocide deniers"]</ref>

In his book, ''Searching for place'', Lubomyr Luciuk comments: "For a particularly base example of famine-denial literature, see Tottle, ''Fraud, famine, and fascism...''".<ref>Lubomyr Luciuk, ''Searching for place: Ukrainian displaced persons, Canada, and the migration of memory'', Toronto: [[University of Toronto Press]], 2000, p. 413. ISBN 0802042457</ref> Professor [[Roman Serbyn]] a professor of history at the University of Quebec at Montreal has published an analysis and critical review of Tottles book which is available [http://www.infoukes.com/history/famine/serbyn/ here].

===Jeff Coplon===
Tottle's book inspired a number of articles by other Holodomor deniers, such as [[Jeff Coplon]]'s article ''"In Search of a Soviet Holocaust"''.<ref name="coplon">Jeff Coplon, [http://www.chss.montclair.edu/English/furr/vv.html "In Search of a Soviet Holocaust"], ''[[The Village Voice]]'', January 12, 1988.</ref> This article not only denies the Holodomor, but also falsely tries to associate those who continued to bring the Holodomor to the attention of the public with the [[Nazism|Nazis]], even giving quotes from [[Adolf Hitler]]'s ''[[Mein Kampf]]'' to stress this point.
<blockquote>
"Just as the Nazis used the [[OUN]] for their own ends, so has [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] exploited the famine, from his purple-prosed commemoration of "this callous act" to his backing of the Mace commission. ... But if people could be convinced that Communism is worse than fascism; that [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] was an insane monster, even worse than Hitler; that the seven million died in more unspeakable agony than the six million ... One cannot appease an [[Evil empire|Evil Empire]], after all.<ref name="coplon" />
</blockquote>
Coplon also penned the article ''"Rewriting History - How Ukrainian nationalists imposed their doctored history on High School Students"'' heavily relying on Tottle's publication with his additional comments regarding the inclusion the Holodomor as one of a number of subjects included in the curriculum for social studies classes in New York. In the article published in the magazine "CAPITAL Region" March 1988, he wrote: <blockquote>
''"The losers, of course, are the New York state schoolchildren, who will absorb this disinformation between algebra and chemistry - and may even be asked to parrot the fraud for a higher score on their regents exam."''

</blockquote>

Other similar writings include an article by [[Wilfred Szczesny]] ("Fraud, Famine and Fascism", ''The Ukrainian Canadian'', April 1988); an unsigned article ("The Ukrainian Famine: Fact or Fiction"), which appeared in the ''[[McGill Daily]]'', November 22, 1988,<ref name="Szcz" /> and Challenge-Desafio's ("The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33"),<ref>[http://www.plp.org/cd_sup/ukfam1.html The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33]</ref> which appeared in a newspaper of the [[Progressive Labor Party (United States)|Progressive Labor Party]] in 1987.<ref>[http://www.plp.org/cd_sup/ukfam1.html "The Hoax of the Man-Made Ukraine Famine of 1932-33"], ''Challenge-Desafio'', February 25, 1987.</ref>

===Stephan Merl===
In 1989, [[Stephan Merl]] (a professor at [[Bielefeld University]]) published "Entfachte Stalin die Hungersnot von 1932-1933 zur Auslöschung des ukrainischen Nationalismus?".<ref>Stephan Merl, "Entfachte Stalin die Hungersnot von 1932-1933 zur Auslöschung des ukrainischen Nationalismus?", ''Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas'' 37 (1989), vol. 4, p. 569-590</ref> This publication, once again relying heavily on Tottle, describes the work of [[James Mace]] and [[Robert Conquest]] as part of a campaign by Ukrainian nationalists to discredit the Soviet Union and pillory liberal journalists like Walter Duranty.<ref>[http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2003/2003-September/021722.html Letters of David Marples]</ref>

===Mario Sousa===
In 1998 [[Mario Sousa]] published "''Lies Concerning the History of the Soviet Union''".<ref>[http://www.mariosousa.se/LiesconcerningthehistoryoftheSovietUnion.html Lies concerning the history of the Soviet Union]</ref>

Sousa's arguments against the Holodomor are based on his interpretation that the early Holodomor campaign was started by the Nazis and was later taken up and funded by Ukrainian refugees who he falsely claims were "Nazi collaborators". Sousa continues that Holodomor scholarship was later supported by the CIA during the [[Cold War]] specifically aimed at slandering and discrediting the Soviet government.

===The Stalin Society===
Holodomor denial continues into the 21st century with the publication of "''The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth''", a pamphlet penned by prominent British physician [[John Puntis]] and published in July 2002 by the [[Stalin Society]]. The Stalin Society itself has been described as "''tiny, aging and schism-ridden''".<ref>[http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article120991.ece "Stalin apologists drink to the memory of Uncle Joe"], ''[[The Independent]]'', 2 March 2003</ref> Once again heavily relying on Tottle, facts are reinterpreted with sources questioned, numbers questioned and the whole history of the famine made to look like the continuation of the Cold War.<ref>[http://www.stalinsociety.org.uk/ukrainian.html#After The Ukrainian famine-genocide myth]</ref>

===Soviet role===
In 1988 the International Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraine was set up to establish whether the famine existed and its cause. Tottle was invited by the commission to attend the hearings, however he ignored the request. While the commission was organized along judicial lines, it had no judicial power to compel witnesses to attend or testify. However Tottle's book was examined during the Brussels sitting of the commission,<ref>[http://www.ioir.se/ukrfamine.htm International Commission of Inquiry Into the 1932–33 Famine in Ukraine by Prof. Jacob Sundberg]</ref> held between May 23–27, 1988, with testimony from various expert witnesses. The commission president Professor Jacob Sundberg subsequently concluded that Tottle was not alone in his enterprise to deny the famine on the basis that material included in his book could not have been available to a private person without official Soviet assistance.<ref>A.J.Hobbins, Daniel Boyer, ''Seeking Historical Truth: the International Commission of Inquiry into the 1932-33 Famine in the Ukraine'', Dalhousie Law Journal, 2001, Vol 24, page 166</ref>

==Holodomor denial in University courses==
In 2004 Toronto University offered a history course on "The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question" by M. Rodsky. Rather than starting from a neutral point of view, Rodsky took a revisionist version of Stalin and the history of the Soviet Union. In his third lecture in the series he approached "The Famine in Ukraine: What is the Truth?". The reading list consisted exclusively of materials that denied the existence of the Holodomor.<ref>[http://individual.utoronto.ca/mrodden/study/ssustudy.html The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question]</ref>

==Symposia about Holodomor denial==
In November 2007, an International Conference entitled ''The Ukrainian Holodomor and the Denial of Genocides'' was organized by the [[Guarini Institute]], and held at [[John Cabot University]], in [[Italy]]. The Ukrainian Ambassador, [[Heorhiy Cheriavskyi]], addressed the conference and spoke about the importance of international education and recognition of the Ukrainian Holodomor. [[Federigo Argentieri]], from the Guarini Institute, read the paper: “''Ideology and Diplomacy: How the Ukrainian Famine Was—and Still is—Denied''.” In his presentation, Argentieri introduced the history of denial of the Ukrainian famine of 1932–33. Conflicting reports on the events in 1933 highlighted the willingness of the [[great power|Great Powers]] to ignore the plain facts witnessed by British government officials in the Soviet Union. At the time, political and economic interests took precedence over internal human rights matters. Argentieri noted that today, the famine remains virtually ignored, even in academic circles in the West.<ref>[http://intranet.johncabot.edu/myjcu/public_site/news.aspx?cat=News "The Ukranian Holodomor and the Denial of Genocides"]</ref>

==Holodomor denial and Ukrainian law==
On November 28, 2006, Ukraine's parliament, the [[Verkhovna Rada]], passed a law recognizing the 1932–1933 Holodomor as an act of genocide by the Stalin regime against the Ukrainian people. The voting figures were as follows: supporting the bill were [[BYuT]]—118 deputies, [[NSNU]]—79 deputies, [[Socialist Party of Ukraine|Socialists]]—30 deputies, 4 independent deputies, and the [[Party of Regions]]—2 deputies (200 deputies did not cast a vote). The [[Communist Party of Ukraine]] predictably voted against the bill. In all, 233 deputies supported the bill—a minimum of 226 votes were required for it to be passed.<ref>[http://www.day.kiev.ua/179841/ "Holodomor and Holocaust denial to be a criminal offense"], 3 April 2007</ref><ref>[http://www.lucorg.com/luc/news.php?id=2241 "What the Verkhovna Rada actually passed"], February 28, 2007</ref>

A draft law "On Amendments to the Criminal and the Procedural Criminal Codes of Ukraine" was submitted by [[President of Ukraine|President]] [[Viktor Yushchenko]] for consideration by the [[Verkhovna Rada|Ukrainian Parliament]]. The draft law envisages prosecution for public denial of the Holodomor Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine as a fact of genocide of the Ukrainian people, and of [[the Holocaust]] as the fact of genocide of the [[Jew]]ish people. The draft law foresees that public denial as well as production and dissemination of materials denying the above shall be punished by a fine of 100 to 300 untaxed minimum salaries, or imprisonment of up to two years.<ref>[http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/index.php?id=148&listid=56782 "Public denial of Holodomor Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as genocide of Ukrainian people to be prosecuted"], December 12, 2007</ref>

I love blue:

The '''Bolsheviks''' were a radical, far-left, and communist political faction and party in the [[Russian Empire]] that eventually successfully overthrew the [[Kerensky Provisional Government]] in the 1917 Russian [[October Revolution]] under the leadership of [[Vladimir Lenin]].

The Bolsheviks arose from a 1903 factional schism in the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, resulting in disagreement between Lenin and Julius Martov about the future of the party. Those who followed Lenin soon declared themselves the Bolsheviks (derived from the Russian for 'majority') while Martov's followers were termed [[Mensheviks]] ('minority'). In 1912, the Bolsheviks split entirely from the Mensheviks, forming their own political party, which became the driving force behind the 1917 [[Russian Revolution|revolution]]. Despite their name, the Bolsheviks were a much smaller and less influential party than the Mensheviks until the second half of 1917.

[[Joseph Stalin]] systematically executed most of the surviving Bolsheviks in 1937.

The '''United Kingdom Independence Party''', also known by the acronym '''UKIP''' (pronounced "you-kip", its followers affectionately known as "Kippers"), is a [[conservative]] and [[Euroskeptic]] political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1993, it campaigns for [[British]] withdrawal from the [[European Union]] (EU). Its support-base is made up substantially of social conservative, traditional conservative and libertarian voters who are opposed to the surrender of British [[sovereignty]]. The party was dominated by [[Nigel Farage]], who served on-and-off as party leader from its creation until 2016. Prior to the 2016 [[Brexit]] referendum, it was also one of the fastest-growing British political parties; according to a YouTube interview with Farage in May 2015, the party had 47,000 members.

==Political positions and stances==
[[File:Nigel Farage of UKIP.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nigel Farage in 2008. Farage successfully supported taking Britain out of the EU, and he supports limiting immigration, small government, and British sovereignty.]]
Under the leadership of Nigel Farage, UKIP broadened its political agenda. It now has policies on tax, defence, the health service, education, electoral reform and constitutional reform.

UKIP attracts alienated voters especially on the right who are critical of the centralized and undemocratic structure of the [[EU]]. UKIP has endorsed a British centre-right economic agenda. It proposes a flat tax and opposes national identity cards. It is sceptical of the more extreme claims of [[AGW]] and critical of carbon-permits and other EU environmental policies as economically and environmentally harmful.<ref>http://www.ukip.org/page/ukip-manifesto</ref> UKIP opposes laws restricting freedom of speech, including on the internet.<ref>Deacon, Liam (July 3, 2018).

In 2017, UKIP added banning the [[burqa]] and [[Sharia Law]] to its agenda.<ref>Deacon, Liam (April 23, 2017).

UKIP is frequently accused by the [[establishment]] and leftists of being a "racist" party and is associated with racist parties by the liberal media, such as the [[politically correct]] TV networks (such as the [[BBC]]) and newspapers (such as ''[[The Guardian]]''). Most claims of UKIP being "racist" are defended by pointing to a couple of minor disgraced UKIP councillors or party members – these people have often been expelled from the party. UKIP membership is in fact open to all, regardless of ethnic origin, and in the 2010 and 2015 elections, UKIP fielded a significant number of candidates who are members of ethnic minorities.<ref>http://www.manzoor4mep.co.uk/</ref><ref>http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/politics/election_2010/southampton_test/candidates/7984351.Pearline_Hingston__UKIP__Southampton_Test/</ref><ref>http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/guide/seat-profiles/tottenham</ref>

==Leadership crisis==
Gerard Batten's term as leader of UKIP ended on 2 June 2019, triggering a leadership election, which he announced he would be standing in. UKIP's National Executive Committee prohibited him from doing so, on the grounds that he had "brought the party into disrepute" over his links with [[Tommy Robinson]]. Richard Braine, a supporter of Batten's previous leadership, was elected as leader on the 10 August 2019, only to resign from the party leadership in the following October, citing the NEC's "purge" of party members (who were loyal to Batten). The position of leader is now vacant.

==Incomplete list of election results==
In the 2008 European elections, UKIP came second, with 16.5% of the vote and 13 of the UK's 78 seats in the [[European Parliament]]. In the Parliamentary election of May 6, 2010, UKIP got 3.1% of the vote, a total of 917,232, an increase of 50% on the previous parliamentary election vote. However, owing to the electoral system, they still did not receive any MPs; therefore, the party is fervently in support for [[proportional representation]], forging an unlikely alliance with the Green Party of England and Wales (an eco-socialist party) and the [[Liberal Democrats]] (an allegedly centrist party, although a significant proportion of its policies come from the social democratic – ''i.e.'' [[socialist]] – trend). UKIP has 2 members in the [[House of Lords]].

In 2013, UKIP achieved a milestone in the local elections when 147 councillors were elected across the UK adding to the 50-60 councillors that were already in place.

The 2014 European Parliament elections were a milestone for UKIP, as the received 27.49% of the vote as well as 24 seats, making it the largest UK party sitting the EU parliament, both in popular votes and seats, even larger than the Conservative and Labor parties.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/events/vote2014/eu-uk-results UK European election results]. ''BBC''. Retrieved September 8, 2016.</ref>

Despite claims that UKIP was a "protest vote" in the European elections due to their avid euroscepticism, UKIP won 12.9% of the popular vote in the 2015 General Election in the United Kingdom. However, due to the inconsistent electoral system in the United Kingdom, they received just 1 seat out of 650. It has less than 500 councillors out of 20,000 and 3 (out of 780) members of the House of Lords. Under a system of [[proportional representation]], UKIP would have 82 seats, instead of just 1.<ref>McKernan, Bethan.

==Political positions and stances==
[[File:Nigel Farage of UKIP.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nigel Farage in 2008. Farage successfully supported taking Britain out of the EU, and he supports limiting immigration, small government, and British sovereignty.]]
Under the leadership of Nigel Farage, UKIP broadened its political agenda. It now has policies on tax, defence, the health service, education, electoral reform and constitutional reform.

UKIP attracts alienated voters especially on the right who are critical of the centralized and undemocratic structure of the [[EU]]. UKIP has endorsed a British centre-right economic agenda. It proposes a flat tax and opposes national identity cards. It is sceptical of the more extreme claims of [[AGW]] and critical of carbon-permits and other EU environmental policies as economically and environmentally harmful.<ref>http://www.ukip.org/page/ukip-manifesto</ref> UKIP opposes laws restricting freedom of speech, including on the internet.<ref>Deacon, Liam (July 3, 2018).

''Breitbart News''. Retrieved July 3, 2018.</ref>

In 2017, UKIP added banning the [[burqa]] and [[Sharia Law]] to its agenda.<ref>Deacon, Liam (April 23, 2017).

UKIP is frequently accused by the [[establishment]] and leftists of being a "racist" party and is associated with racist parties by the liberal media, such as the [[politically correct]] TV networks (such as the [[BBC]]) and newspapers (such as ''[[The Guardian]]''). Most claims of UKIP being "racist" are defended by pointing to a couple of minor disgraced UKIP councillors or party members – these people have often been expelled from the party. UKIP membership is in fact open to all, regardless of ethnic origin, and in the 2010 and 2015 elections, UKIP fielded a significant number of candidates who are members of ethnic minorities.<ref>http://www.manzoor4mep.co.uk/</ref><ref>http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/politics/election_2010/southampton_test/candidates/7984351.Pearline_Hingston__UKIP__Southampton_Test/</ref><ref>http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/guide/seat-profiles/tottenham</ref>

==Leadership crisis==
Gerard Batten's term as leader of UKIP ended on 2 June 2019, triggering a leadership election, which he announced he would be standing in. UKIP's National Executive Committee prohibited him from doing so, on the grounds that he had "brought the party into disrepute" over his links with [[Tommy Robinson]]. Richard Braine, a supporter of Batten's previous leadership, was elected as leader on the 10 August 2019, only to resign from the party leadership in the following October, citing the NEC's "purge" of party members (who were loyal to Batten). The position of leader is now vacant.

==Incomplete list of election results==
In the 2008 European elections, UKIP came second, with 16.5% of the vote and 13 of the UK's 78 seats in the [[European Parliament]]. In the Parliamentary election of May 6, 2010, UKIP got 3.1% of the vote, a total of 917,232, an increase of 50% on the previous parliamentary election vote. However, owing to the electoral system, they still did not receive any MPs; therefore, the party is fervently in support for [[proportional representation]], forging an unlikely alliance with the Green Party of England and Wales (an eco-socialist party) and the [[Liberal Democrats]] (an allegedly centrist party, although a significant proportion of its policies come from the social democratic – ''i.e.'' [[socialist]] – trend). UKIP has 2 members in the [[House of Lords]].

In 2013, UKIP achieved a milestone in the local elections when 147 councillors were elected across the UK adding to the 50-60 councillors that were already in place.

The 2014 European Parliament elections were a milestone for UKIP, as the received 27.49% of the vote as well as 24 seats, making it the largest UK party sitting the EU parliament, both in popular votes and seats, even larger than the Conservative and Labor parties.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/events/vote2014/eu-uk-results UK European election results]. ''BBC''. Retrieved September 8, 2016.</ref>

Despite claims that UKIP was a "protest vote" in the European elections due to their avid euroscepticism, UKIP won 12.9% of the popular vote in the 2015 General Election in the United Kingdom. However, due to the inconsistent electoral system in the United Kingdom, they received just 1 seat out of 650. It has less than 500 councillors out of 20,000 and 3 (out of 780) members of the House of Lords. Under a system of [[proportional representation]], UKIP would have 82 seats, instead of just 1.<ref>McKernan, Bethan.

'''Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton''' (born October 26, 1947, age {{age|1947|10|26}}) is a former American career politician. Previously, she served as a First Lady and as a Secretary of State. She ran as a Democratic Presidential candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Due to her scandals, [[Donald Trump]] referred to her as "Crooked Hillary" in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Clinton won the Democratic Presidential nomination while under [[criminal]] investigation<ref>[https://youtu.be/mzs3K-oEjOA?t=1854 ''White House Admits Hillary Clinton Is Under Criminal Investigation'']</ref><ref>[https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/10/press-briefing-press-secretary-josh-earnest-692016 ''Press Briefing by Press Secretary Josh Earnest, 6/9/2016'']</ref> and was endorsed by the [[Ku Klux Klan]].<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kkk-grand-dragon-endorses-hillary-clinton-for-president</ref> Multiple subsequent inquiries determined the [[Obama administration]] seriously mishandled the Clinton investigations with numerous improprieties. Clinton lost the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016 Presidential election]] to [[Donald Trump]] and blamed [[FBI]] Director [[James Comey]], white men, and self-hating women controlled by their husbands.

Most people who voted for Clinton in the 2016 Democratic primaries were unaware Clinton was under criminal investigation at the time, as the [[mainstream media]] failed to report it. Subsequent [[leak]]s of [[Democratic National Committee]] emails revealed primary election tampering, vote rigging, and voter suppression. [[Putin]] enemies in the [[Ukrainian]] government [[collude]]d with the Obama administration and Clinton campaign to create the [[Trump-Russia collusion hoax]] during the 2016 election.<ref>http://circa.com/politics/alf-bank-in-russia-said-donald-trump-computer-connections-may-have-been-hacker-hoax</ref>

Aided by liberal media, Clinton burst on the national stage in 1992 with a politically-motivated lie she knew not to be true — calling Gennifer Flowers "the daughter of Willie Horton"<ref>https://twitter.com/old_bern_kenobi/status/783033464853409792?lang=en</ref> — and exited the stage the same way by calling Donald Trump the handmaid of Vladimir Putin. She has been described by fellow Democrats as "the queen of warmongers, embodiment of [[corruption]], and personification of the rot that has sickened the [[Democratic Party]]."<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gabbard-hits-back-at-queen-of-warmongers-clinton/ar-AAIZRs9</ref>

Clinton is known for her [[racist]] remarks.<ref>https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/04/bernie-sanders-calls-out-hillary-clinton-for-racist-language.html</ref>

== Health matters ==
[[File:Ghislaine Clinton.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Bill Clinton and [[Ghislaine Maxwell]].]]
In late 2012 Hillary was reported to have suffered a concussion. Initial reports suggested it occurred after a "fainting" spell; other reports stated she suffered the concussion on board a C-12 Huron military aircraft which skidded off the runaway while in Iran to jumpstart negotiations on sanctions and the nuke deal.<ref>https://youtu.be/xTMw_w4IhBw</ref> The crash occurred on or about 8 December 2012; Hillary had a public "fainting" spell on 15 December 2012<ref>https://youtu.be/2f-_vtw0jWg</ref> which then led to reports she suffered a concussion. Reports say she was not hospitalized at that time. In a 24 December email she refers to having a "cracked head."<ref>https://70news.wordpress.com/2016/08/23/wikileaks-hillarys-crackhead-and-dementia-bombshell-hillary-clinton-used-drugs-for-dementia-and-parkinsons-disease-asked-nfl-chief-to-help-her-deal-with/</ref>

=== 2020 election ===
:{{See also|2020 Presidential election}}
After popular Democratic presidential candidate [[Tulsi Gabbard]] confronted Hillary Clinton on her criminal and treasonous activities, Hillary Clinton backed out of a joint appearance.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7591361/Hillary-CANCELS-appearance-summit-Tulsi-Gabbard-scheduled-speak.html</ref> Gabbard responded with her own viral video that garnered over 2 million views in less than 24 hours.<ref>https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1185988329742798848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>

Even ''Rolling Stone'' magazine observed: "America laughed at Hillary Clinton's remarks about Tulsi Gabbard, but her ideas fit perfectly in the intellectual mainstream. Hillary Clinton is nuts. She's also not far from the Democratic Party mainstream, which has been pushing the same line for years".<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/clinton-gabbard-russian-asset-jill-stein-901593/</ref>

Clinton was questioned by Trevor Noah how she killed [[Jeffrey Epstein]].<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/01/hillary-clinton-laughs-off-question-about-killing-jeffrey-epstein/</ref>

=== Neurological disorder ===
Significant concerns have arose in late summer 2016 about Hillary Clinton's mental and neurological fitness. The Clintons have never complied with requests to disclose their medical records, which has led to widespread speculation among experts and laymen about both Clinton's health based on observation and what has been reported. In December 2011, a series of emails were passed between the staff and Hillary in which she inquired about the prescription medication, Provigil, which suggests [[Parkinson's disease]].<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2016/08/23/emails-top-hillary-aide-was-researching-drug-that-treats-parkinsons-alzheimers/</ref>

On the 2016 campaign trail it was obvious Hillary had trouble walking and keeping her balance. Other unusual occurrences in public medical experts described as a combination of brain freezes, blackouts, seizures or symptoms of post traumatic brain injury. Even while Secretary, Hillary began missing a series of important meetings, which included testifying before Congress and a [[national security]] briefing at the White House on the Benghazi attack. She canceled without notice her participation in the Friends of Syria forum in Marrakesh when her presence was vitally needed, as NATO was detecting suspicious movements of the Syrian army's chemical weapons. Her assistant, [[Huma Abedin]], noted in an email "she is often confused" because of her incapacitation.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3320900/Newly-released-email-shows-aide-Huma-Abedin-warned-colleagues-Hillary-confused-needed-hand-holding-calls-foreign-leaders.html#ixzz4Iu8Nujvw]</ref>

What was particularly quixotic was the behavior of the Clinton campaign in spinning the story. Hillary's peculiar facial expressions at odd moments while talking to people could not go unnoticed. Or her coughing fits.

A candidate, like a sitting president, typically travels with a press pool in tow. However the Clinton campaign has done everything imaginable to keep national reporters from getting too close to the candidate. When Hillary was rushed from the scene after collapsing at [[Ground Zero]] during a 9/11 commemoration, a 90-minute news blackout ensued. Repeated questions from reporters went unanswered.<ref>https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article101235582.html#emlnl=Morning_Newsletter</ref> When she emerged on an open street without a security detail, the person did not look at all like the Hillary we've come to know, nor the Hillary who had moments earlier been diagnosed with a serious illness. Nor the Hillary who broke down in an extended coughing fit two dsys earlier on national television on opening day of the general election.

One instance of an on-camera freeze (see discussion on dyskinesia, below), it was speculated, was triggered by the cross-talk of several persons at once, such as regularly occurs in a press conference.<ref>https://youtu.be/OqbDBRWb63s</ref> Hillary did not have a press conference for nine months in 2016. Hillary is accompanied in all public appearances by an attending physician who most mistake for part of her security detail. The physician, who is always at her side, has been photographed ready and armed with an auto-injector syringe carrying the anti-seizure medication, Diazepam.

All the speculation and rumors could have been ended, of course, if the Clinton campaign had opened up and been honest about a matter that is of no slight or insignificant purpose to the American people. During an interview with Erin Burnett on CNN, Dr. David Scheiner, President Obama's former physician, insisted that a two-page note from Hillary's doctor was insufficient.<ref>http://www.inquisitr.com/3471504/hillary-clinton-needs-a-thorough-neurological-exam-obamas-doctor-says/</ref> Dr. Milton Wolf, President Obama's cousin, called the diagnosis of Lisa Bardack, one of Hillary's physicians, "pure fiction", noting the diagnosis does not appear in any medical tectbook.<ref>http://usdefensewatch.com/2016/09/dr-milton-wolf-obamas-cousin-catches-lie-in-hillary-clinton-medical-report/</ref> Even more frightening, reporters who have discussed the matter publicly have been fired. Dr. Drew was fired by [[CNN]] after six years,<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/26/dr-drew-show-canceled-days-after-his-negative-speculation-about-hillary-clintons-health/</ref> and the [[The Huffington Post]] terminated David Seaman who had written hundreds of articles over many years.<ref>http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/huffpo-writer-questions-hillary-health-happened/</ref><ref>[http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2104.htm Hillary Clinton Colostomy Bag Cover-up Consumes US Media Giants, Puts Debates In Doubt], Sorcha Faal, August 30, 2016. www.whatdoesitmesn.com</ref> Seaman now lives in fear of his life and personal safety

=== Background ===
The first known incident of a problem was in 2005 when Mrs. Clinton collapsed on stage in Buffalo during a speech.<ref>http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-01-31-clinton-collapse_x.htm</ref> In 2009 Hillary fell and broke her elbow. Details of the incident have been kept secret.

Stage 2 Parkinson's Disease is marked by tremors, changes in facial expression, difficulty walking and the person's posture starts to change. Hillary is unable to remain sitting very long without being proped up by pillows.<ref>http://heatst.com/politics/must-see-photos-of-hillary-clinton-propped-up-on-pillows/</ref> Stage 3 marks a major turning point in the progression of the disease. Many of the symptoms are the same as in Stage 2, however decreased reflexes and loss of balance occurs. Movement becomes slower. This is why falls become more common in Stage 3.<ref>http://www.healthline.com/health/parkinsons/stages#Overview1</ref> Medical experts cite this is observable evidence caused by a "break down" in key areas of the brain, which includes the cortex, pons, basal ganglia, cerebellum and brainstem.

During a December 2015 televised event, Hillary was five minutes late getting on stage to the debate which already started because she refused to share a bathroom facility with another female staffer.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/20/hillary-clinton-missed-debate-wouldnt-share-bathroom/</ref> This was the beginning of speculation on Hillary's use of catheeters or other prosthetic devices consistent with the effects of advanced Parkinson's disease and other forms of traumatic brain injury.

On the campaign trail Hillary has confused Donald Trump with her husband, appears to have had momentary blackouts while speaking, involuntary head movements and bobbing, needs help walking, balancing, getting in and out if vehicles, or going up a flight of stairs.<ref>https://youtu.be/Zr1IDQ2V1eM</ref> She wears tinted sunglasses and excessivelly baggy clothes in the heat of summer to hide what photographic evidence suggests are catheeters or colostomy apparatices.<ref>http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2104.htm</ref>

Hillary abruptly left a [[9/11]] commemorative ceremony at the site of the [[World Trade Center]] due to a very public medical episode. Her knees buckled and she lost a shoe as her [[Secret Service]] detail loaded her into a van, despite protestations from the Clinton camp that her health is fine and discussion of it being limited to conspiracy kooks.<ref>https://twitter.com/pzf/status/775002372875644928?s=09</ref>

With more than two full months to election day, even before the much publicized 9/11 collapse, Hillary cancelled all but three scheduled appearances on her calendar, sending out surrogates Bill Clinton, [[Chelsea Clinton|Chelsea]], [[Tim Kaine]], and in some cases [[Joe Biden]], the President or [[Michelle Obama]].<ref>https://hillaryspeeches.com/scheduled-events/</ref> Hillary prefers to stay home and measure her strength day by day to meet the rigors of campaigning and facing the public.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/08/whats-wrong-hillary-wears-heavy-coat-black-pants-nantucket-fundraiser-august/</ref>

=== Blood clotting ===
Hillary has three known instances of blood clotting, or thrombosis. The first was a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in her right leg in 1998. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition that occurs when a clump of blood forms into a gelatinous, solid state in a vein deep inside the body. She told the White House physician that she was too busy and refused hospitalization, so was treated as an outpatient at Bethesda Naval Hospital. She later described the experience of the clot as her "scariest moment."

Doctors found a second clot in her legs in 2009, a fact not widely known until Dr. Lisa Bardack issued a clean bill of health in July 2015 in preparation of her campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency.

Then came her skull fracture, concussion, and brain clot in 2012 and 2013 under mysterious circumstances.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a catch all category defined as "an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force" rated from mild (those with no immediate recognizable effects) to severe. An MRI revealed a dangerous blood clot had formed in her brain. Hillary was hospitalized at the New York-Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Lisa Bardack denied Hillary suffered a stroke, but Obama administration aides reported she had.<ref>http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/obama-staff-dropped-bombshell-hillary-medical-details-two-strokes/</ref> Dr. Bardack issued public statements saying that she was being treated with bloodthinners (coagulants) and that "The secretary is making excellent progress." [[NBC News]] medical correspondent Robert Bazell was skeptical about the blood clot being caused by an earlier concussion because, he said, it if were, it would not be treated with anti-coagulents. "So either it's not really related to the concussion and she's got a blood clot in her leg or something, or there's something else going on that we're not being told." Chelsea Clinton was seen departing the hospital in tears.<ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-clinton-admitted-hospital-blood-clot-article-1.1230031</ref> Bill Clinton later reported it took Hillary 6 months to recuperate.

Hillary was diagnosed with a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis in the vein situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, a rare and potentially life-threatening malady. Dr. Alan Boulos, chief of neurosurgery at Albany Medical Center speculated a genetic predisposition made her vulnerable to clotting.

In 2014, preping for her presidential run, Hillary told Diane Sawyer of [[ABC News]], "I'm probably on blood thinners for the rest of my life", and vehemently denied any brain injury despite abundant medical evidence provided to the public proving otherwise.

=== Subcortical vascular dementia ===
A Twitter posting in August 2016 about Hillary's advanced medical condition was reportedly knocked down by Hillary's team and alleged Fact Checkers as a hoax and conspiracy. The reports are said to have been leaked possibly by the father of one of the physicians treating Hillary Clinton. The physician's name is Dr. Daniel Fleck. His father's name is Vincent Fleck. Vincent Fleck was found dead less than 24 hours after the reported leak. The leaked files are from the office of the physician who authored the two-page clean bill of health, and contradict what she distributed publicly. The clean bill of health is viewed as a whitewash by the Clinton campaign, intended to serve as the official response to requests for Hillary's medical records.<ref>http://www.eutimes.net/2016/08/father-of-doctor-treating-hillary-clinton-for-dementia-mysteriously-dies/</ref>

The two-page clean bill of health was written by Dr. Lisa Bardack, who claimed Hillary was in "excellant physical condition". Bardack said Clinton was diagnosed with a "transverse sinus venous thrombosis," a type of blood clot in the brain. She was given blood thinners to dissolve the clot. Hillary experienced double-vision and had been given prism glasses to wear. Bardack wrote that by 2013 Hillary Clinton had "complete resolution of the effects of the concussion", which any [[NFL]] fan and layman can tell is complete nonsense. No mention was made of Hillary's persistent coughing fits or loss of balance. Bardack noted Hillary also suffered from deep vein thrombosis (blood clotting) in 1998 and 2009 and takes the medications Armour Thyoid and Coumadin (an anticoagulant blood thinner) daily. Armour Thyroid is an old fashion brand name remedy of desiccated thyroid extract from dried [[beef]] and [[pork]] [[thyroid]] glands.

The earliest leaked document from Dr. Bardack's office is dated February 5, 2014, stating the patient's present complaint is "Blacking out for short periods of time, uncontrollable twitching, memory loss, fatigue." It lists the [[diagnosis]] of "Complex Partial Seizures, Subcortical Vascular Dementia." Subcortical vascular dementia is caused by widespread microscopic damage to the brain resulting from hardening of the arteries that supply blood to the subcortical areas of the brain. The leak further notes "the patient is having signs of more frequent Complex Partial Seizures."<ref>http://allnewspipeline.com/Hillary_Clinton_Medical_Records_Released.php</ref>

Levadopa (L-dopa) is considered the most effective treatment of Parkinson's disease. Dyskinesia, or involuntary muscle movements, is a side affect of longterm treatment with levadopa.

{{Quotebox|"Dyskinetic movements look like smooth tics — sometimes like an uncoordinated dance. People who experience dyskinesia sometimes mask the involuntary movement with finalistic movements (if the arm starts moving on its own, they might bring it to their head and adjust their hair, as if it was planned)", according to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.<ref>https://www.michaeljfox.org/understanding-parkinsons/living-with-pd/topic.php?dyskinesia</ref>}}

Tinted blue sunglasses are considered a therapuetic remedy to alleviate symptoms of tardive dyskinesia.<ref>http://commons.pacificu.edu/pt/93/</ref><ref>http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5e6_1473703406</ref>

=== Coughing and aspiration pneumonia ===
Hillary's many coughing fits which have become commonplace is a serious symptom of an underlying progression of Parkinson's disease. The coughing is caused by a difficulty in swallowing, called dysphagia. The coughing or throat clearing comes after eating or drinking, and a feeling as if food is stuck in the throat. As Parkinson's progresses, swallowing can become very difficult. Food or liquid can get into the [[lung]]s causing aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death among Parkinson's disease sufferers.<ref>https://www.michaeljfox.org/foundation/news-detail.php?swallowing-and-parkinson-disease</ref>

On Labor Day weekend, the traditional start of the Presidential general election, Hillary was on the offensive, choosing Cleveland — the city where Trump had just been nominated — to kickoff her campaign. Hillary was hampered by a coughing fit which she could neither suppress nor overcome. She tried compensating by using practiced gestures making the speech seemingly ridiculous. With a large media contingent in attendance she wanted to be hardhitting and strong, replete with the obligatory anti-Trump throw away lines. Rather, her voice was weak, her delivery frail, and her countenance pitiful in forcing herself to go through the motions just to satisfy her own mortal ambitions and the partisan truculency of her audience, in denial of reality, blinded by false hope, as she heaped derision on their fellow citizens and imaginary enemies. Once again, the whole world was forced to endure this sad, pathetic spectacle.<ref>http://www.theamericanmirror.com/hacking-hillary-complete-timeline-2016-coughing-fits/</ref>

After the collapse at Ground Zero on 9/11, Hillary's press machine put out the story she was diagnosed with generic pneumonia. Again, Dr. Bardack claimed she was being trested with anti-biotics for a bacterial infection; however that did not stop the Democratic nominee from exposing a small child to the infectious disease for a quick photo-op moments after the medical event.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-dead-zone-1473790527</ref> The Clinton team claimed it was no big deal, "we all had it", meaning they knew it was infectious.<ref>http://www.people.com/article/hillary-clinton-staff-sick-pneumonia</ref> Mothers on Twitter expressed bewilderment and horror that Hillary, with a bacterial infection, was transported to Chelsea Clinton's home where a two-month old infant was present, rather than a hospital.

=== Treatment ===
After the release of the "official" two-page statement on Hillary's health by Dr. Bardack, neurological experts and physicians weighed in. Dr. Drew Pinsky, "America's most trusted physician" according to CNN's subsidiary ''Headline News'' (HLN),<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160830040320/http://www.hlntv.com/shows/dr-drew</ref> was asked if Hillary was okay. Millions of people had seen the photos of Hillary being helped up stairs or videos of her facial contortions and head bobbing. Dr. Drew responded that he was gravely concerned not just about her health, but her [[health care]].

Dr. Drew had consulted with Dr. Robert Huizenga, an internist-pulmonologist, and evaluated the medical record she released. She had two episodes of deep venous thrombosis (blood clots in the leg). She also has hypothyroidism (thyroid isn't producing enough hormone). She'd been treated with Armour Thyroid, "something that we used to use back in the '60s", Dr. Drew and Huizenga both remarked, "Hmmm, that's weird." Then in response to the anticoagulent Coumadin, Dr. Drew observed, "That's weird, because Coumadin really isn't even used anymore. Now we use Eliquis or Xarelto, things like this. Certainly the presidential candidate would get one of the newer anti-coagulates."

Dr. Bardack, who pronounced Hillary in "excellent physical condition" in the same public release made the diagnosis of Transverse Sinus Thrombosis, an exceedingly rare clot in the collecting system for the cerebral spinal fluid. Dr Drew remarked, it "guarantees that somebody has something wrong with their coagulation system." Dr. Drew went on to explain how the hypothyroid treatment, Armour Thyroid, may be the "very medicine causing this problem, and they're using an old-fashioned medicine to treat it. What is going on with her health care? It's bizarre."

Then addresding the falls and concussion, when she hit her head, she had to wear prism glasses because of her double vision. "That is brain damage, and it's affecting her balance."<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/dr-drew-gravely-concerned-clintons-health-archaic-treatments/</ref>

After Dr. Drew gave this interview, CNN contacted him and asked him to retract his comments. Dr. Drew refused. Eight days later he was summarily fired.

Dr. Daniel Scheiner, who was the personal physician to President Obama and is not an employee of CNN, told CNN before the blackout on Hillary's health reporting, "There are a number of questions I have. First of all, she's also 68 years old, and while I think that medical letter was well written and was very professional ... it's not enough. For example, she's on Coumadin, a medication to prevent blood clots ... I'd like to know how well she's being controlled. That's a difficult drug to use. Also, I think she should have ... a thorough neurological examination in 2016. We know what happens to football players, how they begin to lose their cognitive ability."<ref>https://youtu.be/IFxe-jvME8k</ref> Dr. Scheiner will not be invited back to CNN to discuss Hillary's health anytime soon.

=== Possible replacement for health concerns ===
Following Hillary's high-profile collapse on Sunday morning September 11, 2016 at Ground Zero it was no longer possible to deny Hillary's debilitating condition as a [[vast right-wing conspiracy]]. Former [[MSNBC]] anchor Dan Schuster, while the blackout on Hillary's condition was still fresh, tweeted that DNC officials were pondering an emergency meeting to replace Hillary Clinton. By Monday afternoon discussions were confirmed by former DNC Chairman Dan Fowler who was appointed by President Bill Clinton to oversee his 1996 reelection. Fowler insists the open discussions were about process for replacing a nominee, not the actual replacement. A singular precedent exists, the 1972 replacement of Sen. Tom Eagleton with [[Sargent Shriver]] as VP on the Democratic ticket, an event many considered as sealing the fate of Sen. George McGovern's fledgling bid for the presidency.

The DNC rules are somewhat simple as to filling a vacancy in the nomination process. Not so clear is the DNC's ability to create a vacancy by removing a candidate. After its latest scandal culminating in the removal of Chairperson [[Deborah Wasserman Schultz]] for alleged party rule and ethical violations in delegate rigging and voter suppression of Bernie Sanders supporters, Donna Brazile was appointed as interim chair. While highly partisan, Brazile can be considered that rare breed of Democrat who puts party interests ahead of the personal ambitions of the Clintons.

Of the DNC's 447 members, 179 constitute a quorum. The DNC chair is vested with many discretionary powers, such as the ability to call an emergency meeting. Filling a vacancy however, requires consent of the full committee. According to Elaine Kamarck, a 20-year veteran of the DNC Rules Committee, the selection process is wide open, and the top post does not automatically devolve upon [[Tim Kaine]], a former DNC chair himself who won a majority of delegates at the convention as the successor to the president in the event of death, incapacition, or vacancy. Others speculate such a convocation would degenerate into politicking for various interest groups represented by the likes of Bernie Sanders, who failed to win a majority at the convention, or Joe Biden, who received no delegate support at all at the Philadelphia conclave.<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-health-replace-contingency-228037</ref>

A Rasmussen poll found 48% of likely Democratic voters thought Bernie Sanders should be the nominee if health issues forced Hillary out. 22% say Vice President Joe Biden should be the nominee, while only 14% opted for vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine. 9% of Democrats think it should be someone else.<ref>[http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/which_democrat_should_replace_hillary]</ref>

== Background and positions ==
Hillary and Bill Clinton met in 1972 while studying law at [[Yale University]]. Inspired by [[Alabama]] Democrat Gov. [[George Wallace]] and his wife Gov. [[Lurleen Wallace]], the two forged a pact to help each other's career — when one was termed-limited out, the other takes over.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-bill-hillary-clinton-marriage-52-years-20140718-story.html</ref><ref>https://www.cnn.com/2016/07/27/opinions/bill-clinton-hillary-clinton-marriage-drexler/index.html</ref><ref>https://www.chicagotribune.com/chinews-mtblog-2007-11-obama_on_the_clinton_secret_pa-story.html</ref> They worked as a team on [[George McGovern]]'s [[1972 presidential election|1972 presidential campaign]] and then on Bill's first unsuccessful bid for the U.S House in 1974.

She became a First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee. According to financial disclosure statements, she has served uninterruptedly as Secretary/Treasurer of the Clinton Family Foundation since 2001.<ref>[https://guccifer2.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/clintons-pfd-2015.pdf Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Report], OGE Form 278, Hillary Rodham Clinton, 05/15/15, p.19</ref> She is the wife of former President [[Bill Clinton]] who was [[impeach]]ed for providing false testimony and covering up sexual misconduct.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/articles122098.htm|title=Approved Articles of Impeachment|date=December 20, 1998|access-date=November 2, 2016}}</ref> Mr. Clinton has been accused of violent [[sexual assault]] by numerous surviving victims over many years,<ref>[https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton/status/643475466490388480 Hillary Clinton on Twitter 10:24 AM — 14 Sep 2015].</ref> nonetheless Hillary has stood by him and attacked his accusers.<ref>[http://www.prorev.com/whtwtrr.htm Clinton Scandal Clips from The Progressive Review] June 2000 — Aug 2000</ref>

She is an [[elitist]], [[liberal]], [[pro-abortion]] advocate, supports the death penalty, federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, [[same-sex marriage]] (which she originally opposed but flip-flopped once popular opinion shifted in favor of it, as did many other Democrat politicians during the 1990s and 2000s), and civil unions.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight — video]</ref> Her manipulation of racial politics and victims of sex crimes in the 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2016 presidential elections has left her with an abysmal record in the fight for [[civil rights]], fairness, equal treatment of women and minorities and victims of sex crimes.

== Early history ==
:''Main article [[Hillary Clinton early life and career]]''
Hillary Clinton was born in the rich white suburbs of Chicago. She attended Maine East High School, where she wrote for the school newspaper, participated in student council, was chairperson of the Young Republicans, and was selected for National Honor Society.<ref name="Whitehouse.gov">{{Cite web |title=Hillary Rodham Clinton |url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/first-ladies/hillaryclinton |publisher=The White House |access-date=June 28, 2016}}</ref>

[[Carl Bernstein]] has chronicled the history of mental illness and depression which runs in the Rodham family. Her uncle attempted to hang himself but eventually died as an alcoholic in a fire while smoking in bed. Her other uncle died of coronary thrombosis or blood clotting in the heart. Her brothers lived "in a fog of melancholia."

Her father was emotionally abusive to her mother and the whole household; neighbors could not understand why her mother wouldn't leave him, despite her constantly expressing a desire to do so. Or his willingness to see her leave. This was before Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, so it wasn't that easy to break up a family.

Bernstein describes her father as, "a sour, unfulfilled man whose children suffered his relentless, demeaning sarcasm and misanthropic inclination, endured his embarrassing parsimony, and silently accepted his humiliation and verbal abuse of their mother ... he had almost no recognizable enthusiasms or pretense to lightness as he descended into continuous bullying, ill-humor, complaint, and dejection." Her notorious temper and abusive attitude toward underlings was inherited from her father.<ref>http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/hillary-clintons-strengths-and-anger-white-house-revealed</ref> Her father was a Republican and her mother a Democrat, they used to joke how they cancelled each other's vote out.

She attended Wellesley College, which at the time was segregated by sex, and graduated in 1969 during the height of radical opposition to the Vietnam War. She graduated with honors based on her 92-page senior thesis entitled ''"There Is Only the Fight ...": An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.'' The subject was famed [[community organizer]] [[Saul Alinsky]]. When Clinton became First Lady, researchers sought access to the document, but the White House asked Wellesley to hide the embarrassment. Wellesley complied and refused access to researchers.

From 1969 to 1973, she attended Yale Law School where she worked on the editorial board of the ''Yale Review of Law and Social Action''.<ref name="arkhc">{{Cite web |url=http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=2744 |title=Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (1947–) |work=The Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture |access-date=June 28, 2016}}</ref> During her second year, she worked at the Yale Child Study Center which involved research on early childhood brain development. In the late spring of 1971 she, among others, got involved with [[Bill Clinton]]. [[Yoko Ono]], widow of [[Beatle]] songwriter [[John Lennon]], claims to have had a brief romantic fling with Hillary at this time. Ono told reporters in 2016 her election "would be a great advancement for [[LGBT]] and Women rights in America".<ref>http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/yoko-ono-i-had-an-affair-with-hillary-clinton-in-the-70s/</ref>

Ever the ambitious opportunist, she accepted an appointment to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Impeachment during the [[Watergate scandal]].<ref>[https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/features/2015-11-05/how-richard-nixon-created-hillary-clinton How Richard Nixon Created Hillary Clinton], Sam Tanenhaus, Nov 5, 2015. bloomberg.com</ref> Liberal sycophantic [[sexist]]s loyal to Bill Clinton deny she received this appointment on her own merit. They claim the position was offered to Bill first, and when he refused he suggested Rodham for it, which is highly unlikely. The appointment was made by John Doar, a Republican counsel on the committee. Given her Republican credentials as chairperson of the Wellesley Young Republicans, and her previous employment on Capitol Hill in 1968 in the office of the Ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Melvin Laird who became Nixon's Defense Secretary, and the fact she had better grades than Bill at Yale Law School, this appears to be just another leftover highly facitious claim in building the Bill Clinton myth and mystique.

After Nixon resigned she headed to Arkansas where Bill was carrying on with several other women including a childhood sweetheart who reports Hillary smelled so bad from not showering it made her gag.<ref>https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2059308/bill-clinton-nicknamed-bad-smelling-hillary-the-warden-but-wanted-a-baby-to-quash-rumours-she-was-a-lesbian-his-long-term-lover-claims/</ref> Bill and Hillary had mapped out personal and political career ambitions together and a [[States Rights]] agenda to accomplish it. Bill unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1974. The two married on October 11, 1975. He was elected Governor in 1978, defeated in 1980, resumed it uninterruptedly til he became president. Bill said she only wanted a child so people wouldn't think she's a lesbian, and daughter Chelsea was born in 1980. When a [[Federal court]] ruled the Clintons violated the [[Voting Rights Act]] with their legislative reapportionment plan,<ref>42 U.S.C. 1973</ref> their grip on Arkansas was slipping and they began making plans for a play on Washington.

As a lawyer Hillary is an expert in medical confidentiality laws. Sam Smith of the leftist ''Progressive Review'' reported in 1998 an incident which occurred after Bill Clinton's electoral defeat in 1980. Bill Clinton arrived in a Little Rock emergency room with a drug overdose. Smith wrote,
{{Quotebox|Hillary Clinton had been notified by phone and had instructed the hospital staff that Clinton's personal physician would be arriving soon. When Mrs. Clinton arrived, she told both of the resident physicians on duty that night that they would never practice medicine in the United States if word leaked out about Clinton's drug problem. Reportedly, she pinned one of the doctors up against the wall, both hands pressed against his shoulders, as she gave her dire warning.<ref>http://prorev.com/connex.htm</ref>}}

=== Inslaw and the PROMIS technology ===
'''[[Inslaw Inc]]''' developed the famous PROMIS software, an NCIC-type tracking technology incorporating numerous databases such as court records, financial institutions, utility companies, etc. Inslaw was forced into bankruptcy in 1985 because the US Justice Dept., which contracted to purchase it, reneged on its obligations. Pirated versions of the software were sold by US intelligence worldwide to 88 foreign intelligence agencies, and other organizations such as banks, which included a "backdoor" for US intelligence to hack into. Hillary Clinton was the intellectual property lawyer for a company that obtained and marketed to banks copies of the stolen PROMIS software.<ref>https://youtu.be/m1GEnF1pdZ0</ref>

The PROMIS software explains why Bill Clinton never uses email. [[Dick Morris]]'s explanation — that the genius with a 174 IQ who can work a complete ''New York Times'' crossword puzzle in 15 minutes while sitting on the toilet — does not know how to type maybe true. But Clinton most definitely knows through Hillary, who was close!y involved in these matters since the mid 1980s, there is no way ever to keep emails secret. Bill Clinton is in the habit of issuing oral instructions to close aides and the use of surrogates for communication, deniability, and no paper trail.

Several mysterious deaths are associated with the lawsuits the owners of Inslaw brought against the government for the theft of Inslaw's intellectual property that Hillary Clinton represented as the property of Systematics. In one case an entire family was murdered.
*'''Larry Guerrin''' — February 1987. Investigator. Killed investigating the INSLAW case.
*'''Alan Standorf''' — January 31, 1991. Employee of [[National Security Agency]] in electronic intelligence. Standorf was a source of information for [[Danny Casolaro]] who was investigating INSLAW, [[BCCI]], etc. Standorf's dead body was found in the backseat of a car at Washington National Airport.
*'''Dennis Eisman''' — April 5, 1991. Attorney with information on INSLAW. Eisman was found shot to death.
*'''Ian Spiro''' — November 1992. Informant. Spiro had supporting documentation for grand jury proceedings on the INSLAW case. '''His wife and three children''' were found murdered on November 1, 1992 in their home. They all died of gunshot wounds to the head. Ian's body was found several days later in a parked car in the Borego Desert. Cyanide poisoning.
*'''John Crawford''' — April 1993. Attorney with information on INSLAW. Reportedly died from a heart attack in Tacoma.

=== Iran-Contra ===
:''Main article:'' [[Iran-Contra]]
The [[Mena Airport]] in Arkansas became the logistical point for implementation of the Iran-Contra ordeal.<ref>https://youtu.be/g_epmurfIk8 ; see also Bill Plante & Michael Singer, ''Still a Strong Scent on the Mena Trail'', Letter to the Editor, [[Wall Street Journal]], 5/3/94.</ref> Gross value of the illegally imported [[narcotic]]s at Mena is said to have reached $100 million per month at its height, nearly ten times its cost of delivery in trade and arms.

Mena airport was documented to be the biggest drug-smuggling operation in the [[United States]] importing $100 million per month in cocaine.<ref>https://youtu.be/vKdPaQnZ1DA</ref> It is alleged that much of that money had been laundered through the [[Arkansas Development Finance Authority]] (ADFA), a bonding agency that Bill Clinton created to help small businesses get started. The video and Mara Leveritt's 1999 book, ''The Boys on the Tracks'' discussed that Bill Clinton's half-brother, Roger Clinton, and his bond dealer friend [[Dan Lasater]] had gone to prison for [[cocaine]]. Richard Garrett had stated on ''Unsolved Mysteries'', a television program which taped informational segments regarding the boys' on the tracks beginning in 1988,<ref>http://unsolved.com/archives/don-henry-kevin-ives</ref> that Saline County and Central Arkansas were overrun with drug-trafficking at a high level that extended to other counties and other states.

Even when Mena's gun-running operation was shut down after 1986, Mena continued to be used for illegal narcotics smuggling into the United States and the profits were pocketed by locals under then Governor [[Bill Clinton]].<ref>http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2016/08/26/the-boys-on-the-tracks-are-back</ref> In 1989 Clinton received petitions from Arkansas citizens demanding he convene a state grand jury and investigate Mena.<ref>[http://bondiviewertest.azurewebsites.net/DataView/Article/HT?issueKey=19920501&articleKey=19920501021 Clinton Turned Blind Eye to Arkansas Contra Connections], ''High Times'', May 1992, p. 21</ref> Winston Bryant made Mena an issue in his successful bid for Arkansas [[Attorney General]] in 1990. A year later Bryant turned over state files involving Mena to Iran-Contra special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh, but Walsh did nothing with the reams of evidence.

=== Mena airport ===
:''Main article:'' [[Mena airport]]
[[File:320px-Contra commandas 1987.jpg|right|400px|thumb|The Contras. Bill, Hillary, Vince Foster, and others ran the US end of the guns-for-dope operation. Webb Hubbell and other Clinton associates ran the money laundering schemes. By 1992, [[George H.W. Bush|Bush Senior]] owed enough of a debt for their cooperation and silence, and the Clintons had enough to blackmail the Bush's with to mount a direct challenge for the presidency. The Contra operation also gave the Clintons' opportunity to expand their contacts within the US Intelligence Community. By the time it was supposedly investigated in 1987, no one asked the obvious question: ''How were the Contras funded for 4 years before any weapons were sold to Iran?'' Within the name itself, 'Iran-Contra', implies the cover-up. Mena-Contra is more aptly fitting. Just as in the 'Benghazi investigation,' which masked Obama and Hillary supply efforts to ISIS — a bipartisan effort of which Republican [[Sen. John McCain]] was [[Obama war crimes#February 2012|also involved]].<ref>https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2015/09/11/exclusive-new-emails-in-benghazi-weapons-mystery.html</ref>]]
[[Hillary Clinton]] asked [[Vince Foster]] to help her spy on her husband in 1990. She wanted to know how vulnerable he would be in a presidential race. Foster hired Jerry Parks, an Arkansas investigator who later worked as the head of security for the Clinton/Gore campaign headquarters in [[Little Rock]]. According to Parks's widow, "Jerry asked Vince why he needed this stuff on Clinton. He said he needed it for Hillary."<ref>http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/new-documents-prove-hillary-clinton-murder-cover/#ixzz4Nvn7BWqq</ref>

Parks did other work for Foster. According to his wife, Parks delivered large sums of money from Mena airport to Vince Foster at a K-Mart parking lot. Mrs. Parks discovered this when she opens her car trunk one day and finds so much cash that she had to sit on the trunk to close it again. She asked her husband whether he was dealing [[drugs]], and Foster explained that he paid Parks $1,000 for each trip he took to Mena.<ref>http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/clinton/arkansas.htm</ref>

"I'M A DEAD MAN," whispered Parks, as he looked up at the television screen. It was a news bulletin on the local station in Little Rock. Vincent Foster, a childhood friend of the President, had been found dead by the US Park Service outside Washington. Apparent suicide. He muttered darkly that Bill Clinton's people were "cleaning house," and he was "next on the list."

After Foster's death on July 20, 1993 Parks' home on Barrett Road was burglarized in a sophisticated operation that involved cutting the telephone lines and disarming the electronic alarm system. The dossier Parks had assembled at Hillary and Foster's request was stolen.

Two months later, in September 23, 1993, on the way back from El Chico Mexican Restaurant, at about 6:30 PM, a white Chevrolet Caprice pulled up beside him on the Chenal Parkway. An assassin let off a volley of semi-automatic fire. Parks skidded to a halt in the intersection of Highway 10. The killer jumped out and finished him off with a 9 mm handgun—two more shots into the chest at point blank range. Several witnesses watched as the gunman joined his accomplice in the waiting car and sped away.

The [[mainstream media|national media]] ignored the story of the gangland killing of the head of security of the Clinton/Gore campaign headquarters.

The Little Rock Police told asked Mrs. Parks not to talk to the press until the case was solved, and she had agreed. By the spring of 1994 she was losing faith. The original detective, Tom James, had been pulled off the case. It was becoming apparent that the eyewitness accounts of the death were being ignored by the police. Witnesses had described two assassins: hefty men, with beer bellies and broad shoulders, greyish hair, in their late forties or early fifties. Yet the police kept saying that there was only one killer in the car.

Jane Parks went to visit a top official from the State Police whom she knew well from church. He told her outright that the [[murder]] was a conspiracy hatched in Hot Springs by five men who moved in the social circle of Buddy Young, the former chief of Governor Clinton's security detail and now the regional director of the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] (FEMA) for the south-central [[United States]]. She was given the names of the five men, and was told that they flipped coins to decide which two would carry out the execution. And finally, she was told that nothing was ever going to be done about it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040402111006/http://terpsboy.com/Articles/JerryParks.html The Secret Life Of Bill Clinton], Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, 1997</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/ACyGsAAjfCI</ref><ref>https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Bill-Clinton-Unreported/dp/0895264080</ref>

=== The Ives/Henry case ===
The Clinton political machine and local economy had a vested interest for enrichment of themselves by continuing illegal drug smuggling after the CIA shut down the Contra supply operation and left Arkansas. On April 23, 1987, two 16-year-old boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, stumbled upon and witnessed an aerial drop in the area of Bauxite and Alexander, Arkansas.<ref>http://www.idfiles.com</ref> Initial cause of death was claimed to be the result of passing out on a railroad track in Arkansas after smoking [[marijuana]].<ref>http://articles.latimes.com/1988-08-14/news/mn-623_1_preliminary-report</ref> The ruling was made by Arkansas' State medical examiner Dr. Fahmy Malak.<ref>https://youtu.be/v4yO7sdYiCI</ref>

In April 1988, Kevin's body was exhumed, and another autopsy was performed, this one by Atlanta medical examiner Dr. Joseph Burton who discovered that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don Henry's body was exhumed and discovered to have been stabbed in the back prior to being placed on the tracks. The deaths were indeed homicides.

Arkansas State Police (ASP) files of the investigation report the area where the two boys' bodies were found was a drop zone for drugs. Another report was that on the night the boys were killed, two witnesses saw two [[police]] officers beat up two boys and throw them in the back of a police car a short distance from where the bodies were found.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050221103949/www.geocities.com/theoctopus22/thetraindeaths.html</ref>

John Brown, an investigator for the Saline County Sheriffs office, reported that Sheriff Pridgen and ex-prosecutor Jean Duffey talked to a pilot in [[Texas]] who admitted being a drug pilot and remembered that he had flown drugs to points near the Saline-Pulaski county lines, precisely where the boys' bodies were found. Prosecutor Duffey concluded the cover-up was because the drugs were Mena drugs.

A federal investigation was begun, but the Assistant United States Attorney, Bob Govar, reported that the FBI and DEA did not seem interested and did not furnish much help. Other reports in the state police file revealed that residents had complained about frequent low-flying planes in the area around the tracks.
[[File:14324699 1473274228.6179 funddescription.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Kevin Ives (right) and Don Henry (left) were the best of friends. The two were murdered when they stumbled across the Clinton network's dope and gun running operation in [[Mena Arkansas]].<ref>https://www.gofundme.com/donhenry-kevinives</ref> The [[Clinton body count]] originated with the Ives/Henry case and the mysterious deaths of seven witnesses, including a case the State Coroner ruled as suicide with the deceased's head found in a dumpster several blocks away.]]
During the Clinton administration in September 1995, agent William Temple of Clinton's FBI office in [[Little Rock]] told Linda Ives and her husband that it might be time for her to consider that a crime was not committed although the FBI had been working for two years on the case through its agent, Phyllis Coman.

In March 1996, the documentary, ''Obstruction of Justice'',<ref>https://youtu.be/965M_9BCYsw</ref> was released about the investigation into the murders and Dan Harmon's activities. John Brown, a former Saline county detective on the video, made the link between drug corruption in Saline County and drug corruption at Mena which began when Russell Welch, the Arkansas State police investigator in Mena, gave him a statement made by a confidential informant in federal prison which said the boys were killed because of the drug activity they had discovered and it was connected to the drug enterprise headquartered at Mena. The video explained what was known about Barry Seal and his use of airplanes to distribute cocaine. Brown told of reports he had found in the Saline County Sheriffs office dating back to 1987 and 1988 of residents living there where the boys' bodies were found complaining of planes flying over the tracks at 100 feet above ground level with their lights out.

In November 1996, Linda Ives, Kevin Ives mother, got a call from Philip Weiss who told her
he had been asked to prepare an article in the ''New York Times Magazine'' about people who hated Clinton. Weiss explained that Mark Fabiani, a White House lawyer, provided him with a set of news clippings about people who oppose the president and among those was a story about the "boys on the tracks." Linda Ives called Micah Morrison, an editorial page writer for the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', who had written an article about her earlier in the year,<ref>http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/MoneyInvesting/edit/o-ed4181.html</ref> inquiring about Phillip Weiss, and telling Morrison that Weiss talked about a packet of press clippings Weiss got from Fabiani including the article Morrison had written. Morrison then made wrote an article in the ''Wall Street Journal'', January 6, 1997, in which he broke the news that the White House was distributing to reporters packets of news clips to attack victims claiming it to be "conspiracy theories and innuendo."<ref>http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1115427-clinton-the-communication-stream-of-conspiracy.html</ref>

=== Other deaths in the Ives/Henry case ===
*'''James "Dewey" Milam''' – May 30, 1987. Found decapitated. Dr. Fahmy Malak, the Coroner initially ruled death due to "natural causes" and an ulcer, claiming that the victim's small dog had eaten his head. Milam's head later was recovered fully intact from a trash bin several blocks away.
*'''Keith Coney''' – July 1988. Died when his motorcycle slammed into the back of a truck.
*'''Keith McMaskle''' – November 1988. Owner of a local bar. Stabbed 113 times to death.
*'''Gregory Collins''' – January 1989. Died from a gunshot wound.
*'''Jeff Rhodes''' – April 1989. He was shot, mutilated and found burned in a trash dump.
*'''Richard Winters''' – July 1989. A suspect in the Ives / Henry deaths. He was killed in a set-up robbery.
*'''Jordan Kettleson''' – June 1990. Was found shot to death in the front seat of his pickup truck.

=== Eleanor Roosevelt and Huma Abedin ===
After the death of [[Vince Foster]], whom Hillary was very close to, she is said to have fallen into a deep depression and reached out to author William Stayron who wrote about his own struggles with depression.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/15/books/chapters/0715-1st-bernstein.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0</ref> According to Bill Clinton, Hillary is a necromancer who communes with the spirits of the dead.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRav-34ufcE</ref> In 1996 [[Bob Woodward]] of the ''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported Hillary Clinton consulted psychic mediums to contact the spirit of the deceased former First Lady [[Eleanor Roosevelt]] for advice.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/US/9606/22/hillary.book/</ref> This was not unprecedented, [[Mary Todd Lincoln]] held seances in the White House attempting to contact her loved ones.

Bill Clinton outed Hillary as a bisexual.<ref>http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/09/19/hillary-clinton-bisexual-bill-clinton-gennifer-flowers-interview/</ref> When stories of Hillary's [[lesbian]]ism abounded, Hillary held a press conference to deny the rumors.<ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/hillary-clinton-not-lesbian-article-1.246111</ref> Not long after, Bill Clinton presided over an informal wedding ceremony between Hillary's longtime close associate and confidant, [[Huma Abedin]], who had been working at Hillary's side since 1994, and Rep. [[Anthony Weiner]].<ref>http://www.villagevoice.com/news/dyke-hillary-dyke-hillary-6403108</ref> It was an odd relationship between the two; Weiner lived in New York and commuted to Washington when Congress was in session; Huma, like Hillary. spent the vast majority of time away from their spouse while Hillary and Huma travelled the globe in Hillary's role as Secretary of State.<ref>http://pamelageller.com/2015/04/hillary-lesbian-2.html/</ref><ref>http://www.theamericanmirror.com/hillary-huma-make-surprise-visit-nyc-pride-parade/comment-page-4/</ref>

Weiner was driven from Congress in a sexting scandal. Later it was revealed Weiner's personal computer contained more than a half million emails related to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's email scandal. When the news broke, Hillary didn't separate herself from Huma by firing her, which Huma alone would be responsible for unauthorized State Department information being found on Anthony Weiner's personal computer. Like Nixon, she chose the path of loyalty to subordinates over making a clean break with people accused of lawbreaking, as Reagan had done when he fired [[Oliver North]] or John Kennedy when he fired [[Bay of Pigs|Allen Dulles]]. If elected, the nation faced a [[constitutional crisis]] over her actions, failures, and negligence.

=== Arkansas and United States First Lady ===
As First Lady she holds the distinction of being the only First Lady in [[United States]] history to come under [[criminal]] investigation, both as Arkansas First Lady and in the White House. Having escaped indictment for Whitewater crimes and lying to Congress, she was the first First Lady to run and be elected to Congress while her husband was serving as President.

=== Travelgate (''a primer for millennials'') ===
As the 2016 election day approached, the elite [[mainstream media]] remained dumbfounded as to why the American people still deemed Hillary Clinton untrustworthy. The ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' revisited one of the first scandals to hit the Clinton White House:
{{Quotebox|Under criticism the White House changed its story. They said that they were just trying to cut unneeded staff and save money. Then they said they were trying to impose a competitive bidding process. They tried a new explanation — the travel office shake-up was connected to Vice President Al Gore's National Performance Review. (Almost immediately, Mr. Gore said that was not true.) The White House then said it was connected to a campaign pledge to cut the White House staff by 25%. Finally they claimed the workers hadn't been fired at all but placed on indefinite "administrative leave."}}
''"Sound familiar? It's just a cough ... no, it's just allergies ... no, it's heat and dehydration ... no, it's pneumonia ..."''<ref>http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-17/why-dont-they-trust-her-look-one-hillary-clintons-first-ever-scandals</ref>
{{Quotebox|It emerged in contemporaneous notes of a high White House staffer that the travel-office workers were removed because Mrs. Clinton wanted to give their jobs—their "slots," as she put it, according to the notes of director of administration David Watkins—to political operatives who'd worked for Mr. Clinton's campaign. And she wanted to give the travel office business itself to loyalists. There was a travel company based in Arkansas with long ties to the Clintons. There was a charter travel company founded by Harry Thomason, a longtime friend and fundraiser, which had provided services in the 1992 campaign. If the travel office were privatized and put to bid, he could get the business.}}
''Deja vu'' all over again ...
{{Quotebox|'''Clinton Scandal Ritual:''' lie, deny, revise, claim not to remember specifics, stall for time. When it passes, call the story "old news" full of questions that have already been answered. 'As I've repeatedly said ...'"}}
For a quarter of a century the Clinton name has been synonymous with scandal.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB887244288642713000</ref>

=== Death of Vince Foster ===
Vince Foster was the highest ranking [[Executive Branch]] official killed in office since [[John F. Kennedy]]. At the time of Kennedy's murder, the killing should have been handled by the [[Dallas]] police [[homicide]] division. However federal officials and the [[Secret Service]] removed the body and flew it back to [[Washington, D.C.]], interfering with an ongoing investigation. After that botched affair, federal laws were passed making various assaults on or killing of federal officials a federal crime. The new law made the [[FBI]] the lead agency in Foster's death investigation. Various circumstances however left the job in the hands of US Park rangers, and not even the more experienced DC homicide police were involved. Most profoundly, Bill Clinton's firing of the FBI Director the day before Foster's body was discovered in a federal park, left the Bureau stunned, leaderless, and in chaos.

==== FBI files relating to Hillary missing from the National Archives ====
[[File:Vince-foster-murder-clinton-696x445.png|right|300px|thumb|The Vince Foster gun. The weapon used to kill Foster and the gun found at the scene, among other pertinent facts, raise inexplicable questions.]]
FBI files relating to Hillary's role in the [[Vince Foster]]'s death investigation are now missing from the National Archives.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3753013/Missing-FBI-files-linking-Hillary-Clinton-suicide-White-House-counsel-Vince-Foster-vanished-National-Archives.html</ref>

During the 2016 presidential campaign, in August 2016 [[Vince Foster]] was back in the news. A [[fake news]] story was planted in the [[London]] ''Daily Mail'' alleging Foster killed himself because he had been humiliated by Hillary Clinton in a staff meeting one week before killing himself. This story sounds more plausible then the official explanation the ''Washington Post'' has cited for more than two decades — Beth Foster was depressed because he had done Hillary's tax returns,<ref>See for example ''Washington Post'', "The 1993 suicide of White House counsel Vincent Foster, hard on the heels of the travel-office imbroglio and his filing of delinquent Whitewater Corp. tax returns." [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/whitewater/whitewater.htm Untangling Whitewater], By Dan Froomkin, Washingtonpost.com Staff.</ref> there are problems with it. Mainly, that according to the First Lady's schedule now at the Clinton Library in Arkansas, Hillary Clinton was in [[Japan]] and the Far East more than two weeks before Foster's body was discovered. She returned to the United States on July 18, spent two days in Arkansas, and wasn't scheduled to return to Washington till after Foster's body was found. Numerous other sources corroborate her schedule.

=== Illegal fundraising, 1996 ===
{{Main|Chinagate fundraising scandal}}
The Chinagate was a campaign finance controversy in which the Clintons illegally took money from foreign governments and military establishments. Like the Nixon administration, however, it was impossible to get the government to investigate itself, at least to any acceptable or just conclusion before the Clintons term of office was up.

Agents of China sought to give contributions to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the [[United States presidential election, 1996|1996 presidential campaign]] in violation of US law barring non-American citizens from donating money to American politicians and political parties.<ref>Woodward, Bob and Duffy, Brian, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/china1.htm "Chinese Embassy Role In Contributions Probed"], ''Washington Post'', February 13, 1997.</ref>

An unclassified [[United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs|U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs]] report issued in 1998 stated that both James Riady and his father Mochtar "had a long-term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency." According to journalist [[Bob Woodward]], details of the relationship came from highly classified intelligence information supplied to the committee by both the CIA and [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]].<ref>Woodward, Bob, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/cf021098.htm "Findings Link Clinton Allies to Chinese Intelligence"], ''Washington Post'', Feb. 10, 1998.</ref>
[[File:MOCTAR.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Hillary Clinton with Mochtar Riady at a fundraiser during the [[Chinagate]] scandal. Mochtar Riady, along with Bill Clinton's financial godfather Jackson Stephens, brought the [[BCCI]] to America, a front for international dope dealers and arms traffickers.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=hk7XCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT61&lpg=PT61&dq=mochtar+riady+bcci&source=bl&ots=58F2SxmNWF&sig=ZV6dddrtUdo7dmmCfjVhgQZOuLE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjpwvS7mvDTAhVH9mMKHc_MC5QQ6AEINzAG#v=onepage&q=mochtar%20riady%20bcci&f=false]</ref>]]
The relationship between John Huang, the Riady Family, and the Clintons, goes back to the late 1970s in Little Rock, Arkansas. The patriarch of the family, Mochtar Riady, is an [[Indonesia]]n of [[Chinese]] descent who built up the Lippo Group empire. In the mid-1970s, Mochtar Riady planned to expand his business into the United States and began looking for partners. He met the Stephens family of Arkansas and entered into various joint ventures with Stephens Inc.

The Stephens family were in fact the original owners of the American branch of the notorious [[Bank of Credit and Commerce International]] (BCCI) in a joint venture with the Riady's in the late 1970s and 1980s.<ref>mlhttps://fas.org/irp/congress/1992_rpt/bcci/06early.htm</ref> It was shut down in the early 1990s in an enormous worldwide criminal money laundering scandal.

In Little Rock the Riadys met then-Governor Bill Clinton and financially supported Clinton's gubernatorial campaigns throughout the 1980s.

After Riady pledged $1 million in support of then-Governor Clinton's campaign for the presidency 1992, contributions made by Huang had been reimbursed with funds wired from a foreign Lippo Group entity into an account Riady maintained at Lippo Bank and then distributed to Huang in cash. Also, contributions made by Lippo Group entities operating in the United States were reimbursed with wire transfers from foreign Lippo Group entities.<ref>[http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2001/January/017crm.htm "James Riady Pleads Guilty"], Department of Justice, press release, January 11, 2001.</ref><ref>[https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/08/12/huang.sentence/ "Former Democratic fund-raiser John Huang pleads guilty"], ''CNN.com'', Aug. 12, 1999.</ref>

Huang visited the White House 78 times while working as a DNC fund-raiser.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/gen/resources/infocus/fundraising.flap/time9610.html "The Democratic Fund-Raising Flap: Timeline"], ''CNN.com'', July 1, 1997.</ref> James Riady visited the White House 20 times including 6 personal visits with President Clinton.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/gen/resources/infocus/fundraising.flap/characters.html "The Democratic Fund-Raising Flap: Cast of Characters"], ''CNN.com'', July 1, 1997.</ref> As a key fund-raiser he raised $3.4 million for the party.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/players/huang.htm "Campaign Finance Key Player: John Huang"], ''Washington Post'', July 27, 1997.</ref>

Immediately prior to joining the DNC, Huang worked in the Clintons' [[Commerce Department]] as deputy assistant secretary for international economic affairs giving him access to classified intelligence on China.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/US/9905/25/cox.report.highlights/ "Highlights of U.S. report on alleged China spying"], ''CNN.com'', May 25, 1999.</ref>

Under questioning by Sen. Don Nickles during congressional investigations Clinton private investigator Terry Lenzner identified [[Cody Shearer]] as a liaison between Lenzner's firm, Investigative Group International, and the Cheyenne-Arapaho tribe. The tribe had donated more than $100,000 to the Democratic Party hoping that the Clinton administration would intervene on the tribes behalf in a dispute over drilling rights on tribal land. Lenzner's firm had been hired by the Clintons to discredit Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky and others, and had been retained to uncover compromising links between Sen. Don Nickles-opposed the tribe's claims—and local oil interests.

=== Whitewater crimes ===
An April 10, 1998 memo in the Whitewater Office of Independent Counsel (OIC) summarized Hillary Clinton's "crimes under consideration" for [[prosecution]].
{{Quotebox|Between January 1994 and February 1996 both Hillary Clinton and [Webster] Hubbell made numerous sworn statements to the [Resolution Trust Corporation], the FDIC, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and to the OIC. Each of these reflected and embodied materially inaccurate stories relating to: how RLF [Rose Law Firm] came to be retained by MGSL [Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan]; Hillary Clinton's role in the IDC/Castle Grande venture; Hillary Clinton's role in representing MGSL; Hillary Clinton's role in representing MGSL before state agencies'; Hubbell's representations to the RTC [Resolution Trust Corporation] and FDIC regarding Hillary Clinton's role in the IDC/Castle Grande venture; and the removal of records from the [Rose Law Firm].}}
[[File:Chelsea Hubbell.jpg|right|375px|thumb|Webster Hubbell and Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton has become the poster child of [[white privilege]] for a generation. Webster Hubbell, an old "family friend," gave up a lifetime appointment on the Arkansas Supreme Court to move to Washington with the Clintons and serve four years in federal prison on a fraud conviction.]]
According to prosecutors, Hillary drafted an option agreement that concealed from federal bank examiners a fraudulent $300,000 cross-loan in the Castle Grande transaction. Her concealment of her role in this fraudulent transaction, including the hiding of her Rose Law Firm billing records concerning her legal work for Madison, were the subject of an OIC obstruction of justice probe.

The memo included substantial evidence depicting Hillary, Hubbell, and Vincent Foster, as complicit in activities that "facilitated crimes." Hubbell was convicted of fraudulent billing practices and sentenced to twenty-one months in prison and fined $135,000.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/05/AR2007060500908.html</ref> The memo noted that Hillary "destroyed" her personal records of her work for Madison Guaranty. The evidence covers:

{{Quotebox|'''Castle Grande.''' "The Castle Grande transactions were crimes." The statement is followed by an explicit six-paragraph dissection of the land-flipping scheme.

'''[[Madison Guaranty S&L]].''' Hillary minimized the role she played in seeking state regulatory assistance for the corrupt savings and loan, headed by key Clinton financial and political supporter [[James McDougal]]. At the time, Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas.

'''Vincent Foster and the Missing Rose Law Firm Billing Records.''' The Rose billing records were a key piece of evidence in the probe. They were missing for years. After Foster's death, the OIC memo notes "evidence supports the inference that personal documents which Hillary Clinton did not want disclosed were located in Foster's office at the time of his death and then removed."

'''Removal of Records from Vincent Foster's Office.''' " [O]n the afternoon of July 21st Bernard Nussbaum, then White House Counsel, initially agreed to allow two career DOJ employees to review the documents in Foster's office for evidence that might shed light on the cause of his death. That evening and the next morning Nussbaum, Hillary Clinton, Susan Thomases, and Maggie Williams (Hillary Clinton's chief of staff) exchanged ten separate phones calls ... That morning, according to the DOJ employees, Nussbaum changed his mind and refused to allow the DOJ prosecutors to review the documents; instead, he reviewed them himself and segregated several as 'personal' to the Clintons."

'''Hiding the Billing Records.''' "On the evening of July 22nd, Thomas Castleton ... assisted Williams [Maggie Williams, Hillary Clinton chief of staff] in carrying a box of personal documents up to ... a closet in Hillary Clinton's office. The closet is approximately 30 feet from the table in the Book Room, where the billing records were found 2 years later ..."

'''Bying the Silence of a Co-Conspirator.''' Hubbell received several "jobs" from Clinton supporters for which he apparently did little or no work. During a taped conversation in prison, Hubbell appears to acknowledge that he withheld information from the OIC. Several of Hubbell's job-providers fell most strongly within the hush money allegation.}}

The National Archives is withholding additional documents critical to understanding Clinton's full role in the Whitewater scandal.<ref>http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-releases-office-of-independent-counsel-oic-memoranda-laying-out-criminal-case-against-hillary-clinton-in-whitewatercastle-grande-land-scandal/</ref>

=== Evidence tampering and obstruction ===
After the death of White House staffer Vince Foster, 20 year Secret Service veteran Henry O' Neill testified before Congress he observed as Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret Williams, carry boxes of papers out of Foster's office and up to the White House residence quarters on First Lady Hillary Clinton's instructions.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/clinton/etc/01301996.html Whitewater Lost and Found Records], Nightline Transcripts, January 30, 1996. npr.org</ref> The documents related to work performed by Jerry Parks, the head of security for the Clinton-Gore 1992 campaign.<ref>[http://contrariansview.org/onashisite/WebVAX/Foster/AEPonQuinn10Oct96.html Ambrose Evans-Pritchard interview], Quinn in the Morning Show, WRRK 97 FM Pittsburgh, October 10, 1996</ref> Under [[oath]], Hillary Clinton denied issuing the instructions or receiving the documents.

Two years later in 1995 some of the evidence was retrieved from the private White House living quarters. FBI investigators determined Hillary Clinton's fingerprints were on the documents.<ref>Multiple references:

=== Pay-to-play pardons ===
[[Marc Rich]] is the biggest tax cheat in American history. Rich fled the country. He was a big donor to the Clintons and the Democratic party, so [[Bill Clinton]] wanted to pardon him. [[Eric Holder]], who later served as Barack Obama's Attorney General, arranged the pardons.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/16/holder.confirmation/ Former FBI director: Holder was 'used' in Rich pardon], [[CNN]]</ref> Former President [[Jimmy Carter]] publicly called it "disgraceful".<ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/carter-rich-pardon-disgraceful/ Carter: Rich Pardon 'Disgraceful'], CBSNews.com staff AP February 21, 2001</ref> Rich's wife then donated at least $450,000 to the [[Clinton Foundation]].

== Attacking victims of sexual assault ==
Clinton communications director George Stephanopoulos writes in his memoirs of the Clinton 'War Room' about assignments to belittle and kill victim's allegations of sexual abuse. "We have to destroy her story," Mrs. Clinton instructed of Connie Hamzy, one of the first women to come forward during her husband's first presidential campaign in 1991.

In January 2016, Esquire magazine reported on a gathering in the fashionable Upper East Side apartment of the chief executive of HBO. Several conflicted past and present Clinton surrogates discussed how the Clintons and their allies discredited women who said they had sexual encounters with, or been [[sexual assault|sexually assaulted]] by former President Bill Clinton.

{{Quotebox|The conversation, relayed by several people with knowledge of the discussion who would speak about it only anonymously, captures the deeper debate unfolding among [[liberal]]-leaning women about how to reconcile Mrs. Clinton's leadership on women's issues with her past involvement in her husband's efforts to fend off accusations of sexual misconduct.<ref>[http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a41327/new-york-times-clinton-rumors/ The New York Times Is Obsessed with 2 Things. You Already Know What They Are.], By Charles P. Pierce, ''Esquire'', Jan 20, 2016.</ref>}}
The conundrum these conflicted Clinton surrogates face is how to explain their own past participation in sliming and vilifying women who came forward with accusations against the President of the United States with a history of untoward, and even violent, sexual misconduct to a generation of Millennials unfamiliar with the brazen history of the pair:
{{Quotebox|Even some [[Democrat]]s who participated in the effort to discredit the women acknowledge privately that today, when Mrs. Clinton and other women have pleaded with the authorities on college campuses and in workplaces to take any allegation of sexual assault and sexual harassment seriously, such a campaign to attack the women's [[character]] would be unacceptable.}}
But such a public campaign of abuse and ridicule of the victim ''was'' acceptable under the Clintons, by Clinton media and [[Hollywood]] surrogates. And virtually all historical and inside eyewitness accounts, dating back to Arkansas and the White House years, point to Hillary Clinton as the source who made it a mission.

=== Intimidation and blackmail ===
{{Cquote|When Hillary hired this fleet of detectives to go around examining all of the woman who had been identified with Clinton. Not for the purpose of divorcing Clinton.

One of the more abhorrent aspects of Hillary Clinton's personality is a well documented pattern by multiple Clinton confidants and advisors of intimidation and blackmail toward female victims of Mr. Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct.

To locate, stalk, harass, and intimidate the women, Betsy Wright was put in charge of the operation.

==== Sexual blackmail of political opponents ====
Hillary's obsession with sexual blackmail isn't limited to compromising and silencing disgruntled mistresses or women Bill Clinton assaulted, it became a ready tool against political opponents as well. Hillary Rodham Clinton has an obsession with opposition research and digging up dirt on opponents.<ref>https://www.buzzfeed.com/rubycramer/hillary-clinton-already-knows-the-bad-thing-you-said?utm_term=.ry2yGw3Go#.of4rD4yDJ</ref> As Hillary's emails reveal, she often spent more time studying domestic critics views of her activities than the actual job of secretary of state. A new generation of millennials is becoming familiar with the term, "oppo", which is the first step in blackmailing and silencing media critics or candidates for public office. The Clintons have raised it from muckraking and [[dirty tricks]] to a high art form.

To political opponents and the women, Clinton surrogates routinely use the material, truth not being a factor, dug up by Hillary's investigator's to slime anyone publicly who wouldn't fall into line. A recent lawsuit filed just days after it became evident Trump was considering using the case of Joe Epstein in the election is intended to neutralize criticism.<ref>https://youtu.be/EPlDvVwER7A</ref> And the surrogates relish their jobs. Indeed, many Clinton supporters believe this is the essence of [[politics]] — slander, defamation, and demonization of living human beings — not formulation or discussion of public policy.

In what perhaps may or may not be a [[Freud]]ian slip Hillary Clinton titled her last book, ''Hard Choices''.

=== Rape allegations ===
==== As Arkansas Attorney General ====
The general pattern of the Clintons being above the law is illustrated the Juanita Broadderick case from 1978.

Rumors circulated about Broaddrick's allegations for many years, but she refused to speak to the media. In an interview with ''Dateline NBC,'' that aired after the impeachment trial, Broaddrick claimed she had indeed been [[rape]]d by then Arkansas [[Attorney General]] Bill Clinton.<ref name="NBCinterview">''Dateline NBC'': February 24, 1999. ''The Washington Post'' [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/broaddrick022599.htm published a story about the interview] on February 25, 1999.</ref> The abuse put Broadderick in a quandry: who could she turn for help in a case against the state's highest ranking [[law enforcement]] official?

Broaddrick first met Clinton when he made a visit to her nursing home during his first gubernatorial bid. Broaddrick offered to volunteer for the campaign, and Clinton invited her to stop by the campaign office in Little Rock.<ref name=NYT>''New York Times'': [https://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/24/us/on-tortuous-route-sexual-assault-accusation-against-clinton-resurfaces.html On Tortuous Route, Sexual Assault Accusation Against Clinton Resurfaces]. February 24, 1999.</ref> She contacted the office a few weeks later when she was in Little Rock for a nursing home conference. Clinton said he would not be in the office that day and suggested they meet at her hotel's coffee shop instead. Upon his arrival, however, he allegedly requested that they instead have coffee in her room to avoid a crowd of reporters in the lobby. Broaddrick agreed.<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Broaddrick says the two spoke briefly in her room, then Clinton suddenly kissed her.<ref name="NBCinterview" /> Broaddrick pushed Clinton away and told him she was married and not interested, but he persisted. As recounted in the NBC interview:<ref name="NBCinterview" />
{{Quotebox|"Then he tries to kiss me again. And the second time he tries to kiss me he starts biting my lip ... He starts to bite on my top lip and I tried to pull away from him. And then he forces me down on the bed. And I just was very frightened, and I tried to get away from him and I told him 'No,' that I didn't want this to happen but he wouldn't listen to me. ... It was a real panicky, panicky situation. I was even to the point where I was getting very noisy, you know, yelling to 'Please stop.' And that's when he pressed down on my right shoulder and he would bite my lip. ... When everything was over with, he got up and straightened himself, and I was crying at the moment and he walks to the door, and calmly puts on his sunglasses. And before he goes out the door he says 'You better get some ice on that.' And he turned and went out the door."}}
When asked if there was any way Clinton could have thought it was consensual, Broaddrick said "No, not with what I told him and with how I tried to push him away. It was not consensual."<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Broaddrick shared the hotel room with her friend and employee Norma Rodgers. Rodgers attended a conference seminar that morning, and says she returned to their room to find Broaddrick on the bed "in a state of shock," her pantyhose torn in the crotch and her lip swollen as though she had been hit.<ref name="NYT" /> Rogers says Broaddrick told her Clinton had "forced himself on her."<ref name="NYT" /> Rogers helped Broaddrick ice her lip, and then the women left Little Rock. Rogers said that Broaddrick was very upset on the way home and blamed herself for letting Clinton in the room.<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Broaddrick says she did not tell her then-husband about the incident.<ref name="NBCinterview" /><ref name=Slate>[http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/1999/03/is_juanita_broaddrick_telling_the_truth.html "Is Juanita Broaddrick Telling the Truth?"]. ''Slate'' (magazine)''. March 3, 1999.</ref>

At the time, she was having an affair with her eventual second husband, David Broaddrick. He remembers her injured lip, and she told him that Clinton had raped her.<ref name="NBCinterview" /> Three other friends confirmed that Broaddrick had told them about the incident at the time: Susan Lewis, Louis Ma, and Jean Darden, Norma Rogers' sister.<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Broaddrick recalled incident occurred in the spring of 1978 and that she had stayed in the Camelot Hotel. Records show Broaddrick attended a nursing home meeting at the Camelot Hotel in Little Rock on April 25, 1978.<ref name="NBCinterview" /><ref name="Slate" /> The Clinton White House would not respond to requests for Clinton's official schedule for the date,<ref name=WashingtonPost-Feb25-1999 /> but news reports suggest that he was in Little Rock that day, with no official commitments in the morning.<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Three weeks later Broaddrick attended an event where the Clintons would be in attendance at the home of a local dentist.<ref name="NBCinterview" /> Broaddrick said she was "in denial," and felt guilty, thinking that she had given Clinton the wrong idea by letting him into her room.<ref name="NBCinterview" /> When she arrived she says, her friend who had picked the Clintons up from the airport told her that Hillary Clinton had asked if she would be at the event.<ref name=FOXinterview>''FOX News'': Interview with Sean Hannity. June 10, 2003. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZ8ICvutc0 Excerpt] available via YouTube.</ref> Broaddrick says Clinton did not speak to her at the event, but his wife Hillary approached her, took her hand, and said 'I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate what you do for him."<ref name="FOXinterview" /> When Broaddrick moved her hand away, she says, Mrs. Clinton held on to her and said, "Do you understand? Everything that you do."<ref name="FOXinterview" /> Broaddrick says she felt [[nausea]]ted and left the gathering. Broaddrick says she interpreted the incident as Mrs. Clinton thanking her for keeping quiet.<ref name="FOXinterview" />

In 1984, Broaddrick's nursing facility was adjudged the best in the state, which brought a congratulatory official letter from the governor. On the bottom was a handwritten note from Clinton, saying, "I admire you very much."<ref name=WSJ>''Wall Street Journal'': [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB919379691540145000.html Juanita Broaddrick Meets the Press]. February 19, 1999.</ref> Broaddrick said that in 1991, Clinton called her out of a state nursing standards meeting to try to apologize. In response to his apologies, as she told ''[[The Washington Post]]'', "I told him to go to hell, and I walked off".<ref name=WashingtonPost-Feb25-1999>Kurtz, Howard (February 25, 1999).

A15.</ref> Darden also attended the meeting, and said she saw Broaddrick talking to Clinton in the hallway.<ref name="NBCinterview" />

Lisa Myers if NBC, who conducted the ''Dateline'' interview, added she had no reason to doubt the veracity of Broadderick's accusations.

==== As Rhodes Scholar ====
An instance of media coverup, or failing to ask the right questions while promoting the Clintons and their careers is illustrated in Clinton's time at Oxford University.

The earliest known incident of a reported rape is from 1969 while at Oxford in England on the
[[Rhodes Scholar]]ship program. As is common knowledge, women's rights, [[prosecution]] of offenders, and protection for rape victims in 1969 were not what they are today.

The prestigious Rhodes Scholarship is an elite program intended to cement Anglo-American relations and train tomorrows world leaders. Clinton was recommended for the program in 1968 by his Georgetown Professor Carol Quigley and his political mentor, the notorious [[segregation]]ist Senator J. William Fulbright. It's a two-year program. Clinton received a draft deferment from conscription into the US Army during the Vietnam war for his enrollment in the program. It has been stated that 99% of all Rhodes Scholars graduate, the only cause of failing to graduate being death. Dropping out, or being thrown out, is/was virtually unheard of.

Eileen Wellstone is an English woman who came forward saying Clinton raped her in 1969 after she had met him at a pub near the University. A retired State Department employee confirmed that he spoke with the family. The employee said he believed the story of Miss Wellstone.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070516192906/http:/chblue.com/Feb1999/022599/clintonwomen022599.htm]</ref>

"There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma, But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape." The State Department official who investigated the incident said Clinton's interests appeared to be drinking, drugs and sex, not studies. "I came away from the incident with the clear impression that this was a young man who was there to party, not study."<ref>http://albertpeia.com/oxfordassault.htm</ref>

The victim's family declined to pursue the case; Wellstone re-confirmed the incident in 1999, but asked to be left alone.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/jun/24/20040624-121742-7463r/?page=all |title=The missing Clinton women|author=The Washington Times | publisher= Washington Times |date= June 24, 2004}}</ref>

In his book, ''Unlimited Access'', former FBI agent [[Gary Aldrich]] reported that Clinton left Oxford University for a "European Tour" in 1969 and was told by University officials that he was no longer welcome there. Aldrich said Clinton's academic record at Oxford was lackluster.

Having been thrown out of Oxford, Clinton lost his draft deferment. Clinton entered Oxford in October 1968, according to David Maraniss, and received a draft induction in late July 1969. Yet the focus of news reporting in the [[United States presidential election, 1992|1992 presidential election]] was on championing Clinton as a 'Rhodes Scholar' while never asking how it was possible for a Rhodes Scholar with a draft deferment to receive a draft notice. The issue focused on his failure to report for induction rather than the fact that he ''was not'' a Rhodes Scholar, that he had been thrown out of Oxford, or the reason for being thrown out.

==== Other assaults ====
Most cited by name in this section of assault victims are of women who have spoken about the crimes they've suffered, although some have been intimidated into silence after going public. Others remain fearful to come forward.

In 1972, a twenty-two-year-old woman told Yale University's campus police that she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton, and although no charges were filed, a retired policeman confirmed the incident to ''Capitol Hill Blue''. The woman herself was also tracked down and confirmed it, though she elected to stay anonymous.

In 1974 a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference, groping her and forcing his hand inside her blouse. Although she complained to her faculty advisor, who confronted Clinton, the complaint again failed to go anywhere. The student left the school shortly after the incident, and more recently confirmed the incident. Several former students also confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and also said there were other reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students.

Arkansas state troopers assigned to protect Clinton have knowledge of at least seven other complaints from women who said Clinton forced himself on them sexually or attempted to do so.<ref>[http://www.shwiggie.com/articles/clintons.html Living with the Clintons, Bill's Arkansas bodyguards tell the story the press missed], By David Brock, 1993</ref>

A Little Rock legal secretary named Carolyn Moffet claimed that in 1979, she met the governor at a political fundraiser and shortly afterward received an invitation to meet him in a hotel room. She was escorted there by a state trooper. When she arrived he was sitting on a couch wearing an undershirt and nothing else, and angrily assaulted her. She was able to escape before being raped. Moffet received threatening phone calls. "He said that people who crossed the governor usually regretted it and that if I knew what was good for me I'd forget that it ever happened ... I haven't forgotten it. You don't forget crude men like that."<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2014/12/15/why-hillary-is-not-inevitable-bills-sordid-past/</ref>

Elizabeth Ward Gracen, a former Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982 told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown.<ref>http://www.villagevoice.com/news/the-trashing-of-clintons-women-6422690</ref> Clinton media surrogates publicly hype and boast of Clinton's manliness and ''machismo'' for his sexual conquest if Miss America.

An Arkansas state employee named Paula Corbin filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after she said the governor exposed himself and demanded sex in a Little Rock hotel room. President Clinton finally settled the case with Paula Corbin in 1998 with an $850,000 cash payment.<ref>
https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1998/11/18/jones/</ref>

Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser said Clinton invited her to his hotel room when he was in Washington in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas state trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was alright. Then, she said, Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. ''My husband and children deserve better than that..I wasn't raped, but I was trapped in a hotel room for a brief moment by a boorish man ... I got away. He tried calling me several times after that, but I didn't take his phone calls. Then he stopped. I guess he moved on." She said she learned other women had similar stories during Clinton's 1992 presidential run. She has since married and left Washington and retreated from public view.<ref>http://m.digitaljournal.com/article/255828</ref>

Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton's campaign plane in 1992, reported that he exposed himself to her, groped her, and made explicit sexual remarks. A video filmed on board the plane by [[ABC News]] showed an obviously drunken Clinton with his hand on intimate parts of another young flight attendant. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.<ref>http://redalertpolitics.com/2015/12/29/millennials-guide-bill-clintons-20-sex-scandals/</ref>

Kathleen Willey was a volunteer at the White House when Clinton grabbed her, fondled her, and pressed her hand against himself during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a [[60 Minutes]] interview, became a target of a White House–directed smear campaign after she went public.<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Target-Caught-Crosshairs-Hillary-Clinton/dp/0974670162 Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton], Kathleen Willey, World Ahead Publishing, Nov 6, 2007 ISBN 978-0974670164 ISBN 0974670162</ref> In 1998, just before Willey was to testify in the Paula Jones trial, Willey had a disturbing encounter where she was approached by a jogger near her home. The complete stranger asked her menacing questions about her children, naming them by name. According to Willey, "I'll never forget that look in his eyes ... He just looked at me and he said, 'You're just not getting the message, are you?'" On Hardball in 1999, [[MSNBC]] host [[Chris Matthews]] identified the mysterious jogger as [[Cody Shearer]].<ref>https://www.weeklystandard.com/the-other-secret-dossier/article/2011477</ref>

The other encounters were confirmed with more than 30 interviews with retired Arkansas state employees, former state troopers and former Yale and University of Arkansas students. Like others, they refused to go public because of fears of retaliation from the Clinton White House and smesr machine.

Peter Baker in ''The Breach: Inside the Impeachment and Trial of William Jefferson Clinton'', which the ''Washington Post'' describes as the definitive account of the impeachment saga, reported that in the files of the independent prosecutor lawyers had collected the names of 21 different women. Baker noted
{{Quotebox|"One woman was alleged to have been asked by Clinton to give him oral sex in a car while he was the state attorney general (a claim she denied). A former Arkansas state employee said that during a presentation, then-Governor Clinton walked behind her and rubbed his pelvis up against her repeatedly.

On November 21, 2014, columnist Joan Vennochi of the ''a [[The Boston Globe]]'' wrote, "Rape allegations hurt Bill Cosby but sail past Bill Clinton."

"Power—who has it, who doesn't, and how it can for years insulate the holder of it—is the common thread between Cosby, Clinton, and their accusers," Vennochi wrote. Clinton apologists, surrogates, sycophants, and spin-meisters srgur their public policies are more important than his private failings.

"Meanwhile, the Clinton spin machine did its best to portray his accusers as 'nuts or sluts,' ... against women who dare to hold men accountable for their actions," Vennochi wrote.<ref>https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2014/11/21/rape-allegations-hurt-bill-cosby-but-sail-past-bill-clinton/YTIsUoXS2uxrW1mW2JSuRM/story.html</ref>

That fact that 30-year-old allegations of sexual assault and improprieties are hurled at [[Bill Cosby]] with a devastating effect on his life and career while Bill Clinton is held up as a paragon of manhood and public service by the media and judicial system is a testament of the bigotry and racism of the mainstream media and their supporters.

=== Voting rights violations ===
In Arkansas, the Clinton administration was sued several times by blacks and [[Hispanic]]s for violations of the 1965 [[Voting Rights Act]] and lost every case. 10 years into their grip on Arkansas the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled
{{Quotebox|violations of the [[Fourteenth amendment|fourteenth]] or [[fifteenth amendment]] justifying equitable relief have occurred in Arkansas.

In May 1990, the district court turned to those claims, holding that "the State of Arkansas has committed a number of constitutional violations of the voting rights of black citizens." In particular, the court determined that the "State has systematically and deliberately enacted new majority-vote requirements for municipal offices, in an effort to frustrate black political success in elections traditionally requiring only a plurality to win." In 1990 ... Devotion to majority rule for local offices lay dormant as long as the [[plurality]] system produced white office-holders. But whenever black candidates used this system successfully -- and victory by a plurality has been virtually their only chance of success in at-large elections in majority-white cities – the response was swift and certain. Laws were passed in an attempt to close off this avenue of black political victory ...

This series of laws represents a systematic and deliberate attempt to reduce black political opportunity. Such an attempt is plainly unconstitutional. It replaces a system in which blacks could and did succeed, with one in which they almost certainly cannot. The inference of [[bigotry|racial motivation]] is inescapable.<ref>Findings of the Supreme Court of the United States in [http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/briefs/1990/sg900402.txt Clinton vs Jeffers] No. 90-394 (1990) on appeal 730 F. Supp. 196, 198-201 (ED Ark. 1989) (three-judge court), aff'd, No. 89-2008 (Jan. 7, 1991).</ref><ref>http://commonsensewonder.blogspot.com/2016/09/bill-clintons-comment-about-trumps-make.html</ref>}}

In more than one thousand legislative elections, the Arkansas delta region sent not one black to the legislature. In 1988 the federal district court forced a change to the system in Crittenden County that watered down the presence of a large number of black voters.

The case began when blacks in Crittenden County filed a voting rights lawsuit attacking the county's ''at-large'' system for electing two members to the Arkansas House. The suit contended that the system deprived black voters of a chance to elect a black to the state assembly.

The evidence at trial was indeed overwhelming that the Voting Rights Act had been violated. Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates, other official acts that made voting harder for blacks. A panel of 3 judges ordered Clinton, the Attorney General, and Secretary of State to redraw the boundaries to give maximum strength to black voters.

Local press reports in Arkansas from the late 1980s paint an ugly picture of the [[Clinton administration]]'s attempts to intimidate black voters.<ref>http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readreplies.aspx?subjectid=28880&msgid=18476315</ref> In her 1998 memoir ''Lift Every Voice'', former [[U.S Justice Department]] Civil Rights Division nominee Lani Guinier revealed that Clinton's record on [[race]] in Arkansas was so bad she was forced to take legal action. "As a staff lawyer for the [[NAACP]] Legal Defense and Education Fund [LDF], I had sued Gov. Clinton over Arkansas's deputy voter registration statute." A deputy voter registrar is someone authorized to register voters.

Guinier wrote, "In the late 1980s, in a particularly tense meeting in southeastern Arkansas — a section of the Mississippi Delta region where antebellum social relations are still in many respects the order of the day," Dayna Cunningham, a civil rights lawyer, "were one of a handful of black people there to discuss remedies for a highly contentious LDF voting rights suit. The meeting turned sour when one of the local whites demanded to know why, in his view, the whites were always made to pay for others' problems. Other whites in the group began to echo his charge ... Bill Clinton, the lead defendant in the case, took to the podium to respond. In a tone of resignation, Clinton said, 'We have to pay because we lost,'" the inference being the loss of the [[Civil War]] as well as the Clintons loss in the Supreme Court.

"Clinton had irresponsibly pandered to the backwards feeling of the white constituency," said Cunningham.

No good deed goes unpunished of course, so Guinier was not without her own problems for having unfortunately crossed paths with the Clintons, beginning at Yale. Three years after the ruckus in Arkansas President Clinton nominated her as Deputy Attorney General for Civil Rights. But the Clinton surrogates were lying in wait for her. A media smear campaign not only distorted her views, but in many cases presented them as the exact opposite. The ''New York Times'', which ordinarily presents the Clintons as the wonders of an age, ran an op-ed highly critical of Clinton's appointment, alleging Guinier was in favor of "[[segregation|segregating]] black voters in black-majority districts." The ''Washington Post'', again no friend of conservatives, twisted Guiniers advocacy of proportional representation into a vision of "a society in which a minority can impose its will on the majority."

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting says of the ambush and firestorm that surrounded Guinier's nomination:
{{Quotebox|there was also an ideological agenda at work: promoting Clinton's media-celebrated shift "back to the center." ... To make her a proper sacrificial offering, however, the establishment media had to reinvent Guinier — transforming a sophisticated advocate of racial reconciliation and participatory democracy into a sinister, [[race baiting|race-baiting]] enemy of the American Way.<ref>http://fair.org/extra/lani-guinier/</ref>}}

The Democrats held both Houses of Congress and the presidency. Guinier's nomination, if the Clintons were serious about it should have been easy. She had been Hillary snd Bill's classmate at Yale. It was classic ''Clintonism'': destroying the life of a friend and who was an advocate of racial reconciliation, painting the American people as racist, and promoting themselves. [[George Will]], it has been said, was too stupid and too lazy to actually read her writtings. As [[Mike Klonsky]] noted, when the liberal lions of the Democratically controlled Senate, such as [[Ted Kennedy]] and even [[Carole Moseley Braun]] stepped away, now the Clintons could turn a message of reconciliation into repudiation in front of the whole nation.

What's a little misunderstanding among friends? Guinier said she felt betrayed by Clinton, whom she considered a friend since their days together at Yale Law School, and was angered when he called her "anti-democratic," — the person who protected voting rights of African-Americans despite Clinton's fight against it — in a nationally televised address announcing he was scuttling her nomination.<ref>https://www.c-span.org/video/?42098-1/assistant-attorney-general-nomination</ref>

=== Rep. Ben McGee ===
In 1988 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Clinton wrongfully tried to overturn the election of a black state representative, Mr. Ben McGee, and replace him with a white Democrat Clinton handpicked. The case grew out of the suit against Clinton to win voting rights for the people of Crittenden County.

=== Robert 'Say' MacIntosh ===
Robert 'Say' MacIntosh is a civil rights activist who the ''Arkansas Democrat'' newspaper named Arkansan of the Year in the late 1970s for his charitable work with children in Little Rock's housing projects.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080926012344/http://www.cals.lib.ar.us/butlercenter/manuscripts/collection/mss97-43.html]</ref> MacIntosh unsuccessfully ran for public office under Arkansas's racial gerrymanderring and minority [[voter suppression]] laws of the Clinton era, including as Lieutenant Governor in 1980. He considered challenging Bill Clinton in the 1986 Democratic gubernatorial primary, but backed out when another African-American candidate, former anti-poverty agency head W. Dean Goldsby, filed on the last day.

A tree was ceremoniously planted on the Arkansas capitol grounds in the Clinton years on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to honor Dr. King. McIntosh showed up the next day and chopped it down in front of the press, and commented, "No black man was invited to be present for the tree planting. I'm cutting it down till blacks are invited to be part of the political process in Little Rock." Wikipedia says "few debate that he has been a major part of local color in Arkansas."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_"Say"_McIntosh</ref>

MacIntosh publicized allegations Bill Clinton fathered an out of wedlock child named Danney Williams.<ref>https://twitter.com/danney_williams?s=09</ref> When Bill Clinton was in Little Rock, McIntosh would distribute leaflets within a five block area to raise money for the child's upbringing. He had frequent face-to-face confrontations with Gov. Clinton over child support. Clinton privately referred to MacIntosh with aides using the "n" word.<ref name="emptysuit.wordpress.com" />

The story resurfaced during the 2008 primaries, only this time the denials weren't so strong and adopted a more forgiving attitude.<ref>https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/17/sex-lies-and-major-headlines</ref><ref>http://epubbookonline.com/b/3035/roger-stone/the-clintons-war-on-women/27</ref> Many blacks and Obama supporters were put off by the mainstresm media spin and questioned the untimely death of Ron Brown.<ref>http://wc.blackplanet.com/news/article_comments.html?news_item_id=46467</ref><ref>http://aapoliticalpundit.blogspot.com/2007/12/blacks-clintons-presidency-and-ron.html</ref> Even the ''Washington Post'' noticed the racial undercurrent in Hillary Clinton's campaign.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/22/AR2007122201762.html</ref>

=== Ron Brown ===
The death of Ron Brown remains a controversial subject among African-Americans.<ref>https://youtu.be/BMXnPYGDgVc</ref> Ron Brown was the first black [[Secretary of Commerce]] who died in the crash of Air Force Two. The crash occurred one week before Brown was slated to give testimony in the Clinton campaign finance scandal, among other scandals.<ref>https://youtu.be/HR-WkSEzaho</ref>

=== Confederate Flag Day ===
The Arkansas Legislature's Act 116 of 1987 designated the star above the word "Arkansas" on the state flag as a commemoration of the Confederacy, signed into law by Gov. Clinton, as well as annual proclamations for Confederate Flag Day.

In April 1985 Clinton signed Act 985 into law, making the birthdates of Martin Luther King Jr. and [[Robert E. Lee]], General of the Confederate army, state holidays on the same day. The coded message sent to white constituents could not have be clearer.

=== Black lives don't matter ===
[[File:Blmhillary (1).jpg|right|350px|thumb|Democrat Presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton confronted by Black Lives Matter protesters in 2016.]]
On the eve of the [[New Hampshire]] primary in 1992, Bill Clinton took off from the campaign trail to sign the death warrant and oversee the execution of a retarded black man, Ricky Ray Rector. Recktor, who had been lobotomized, was mentally incompetent and unable to understand the charges against him.

Hillary was at his side when Bill Clinton raised mandatory sentencing guidelines which disproportionately sent Blacks to prison, giving the United States the highest mass incarceration rate in the world.<ref>[https://newrepublic.com/article/129433/clintons-war-drugs-black-lives-didnt-matter The Clintons' War on Drugs: When Black Lives Didn't Matter], By Donna Murch, ''The New Republic'', February 9, 2016</ref> The Clinton's championed the "three strikes you're out" law, passed a crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes, mandated life sentences for some three-time offenders, and authorized more than $16 billion for more state prisons. By the time the Clintons left office in 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. [[Human Rights Watch]] reported that in seven states, African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level they had been under [[Ronald Reagan]].<ref>[https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ Why Hillary Clinton Doesn't Deserve the Black Vote], Michelle Alexander, ''The Nation'', February 10, 2016</ref>

In late 2015, while several American cities smoldered in riots over police shootings, Hillary Clinton had several prison industry lobbyists working as fundraisers on her campaign. The fundraiser-lobbyists worked for the Corrections Corporation of America and Geo Group, which also run most of the [[immigrant]] detention centers.<ref>[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/while-missouri-students-battle-racism-prison-lobbyists-funded-hillary-clintons-campaign_b_8553370.html While Missouri Students Battle Racism, Prison Lobbyists Funded Hillary Clinton's Campaign], H.A. Goodman, ''Huffington Post'', Nov 13, 2015</ref>

=== Racial profiling Hispanics ===
The Clintons instituted [[racial profiling]] of [[Latino]]s as drug dealers in 1988. Specifically, the troopers were authorized to stop and search cars driven by Hispanics, especially those with Texas license plates. Again, the Clintons' Criminal Apprehension Program was challenged in federal court and ruled unconstitutional. But the program went on anyway with further destruction of civil liberties when the Clintons authorized state troopers to stop and search any car regardless of race.<ref>https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-56765970.html</ref>

Roberto Garcia de Posada, executive director of the Hispanic Business Roundtable, cited the fact that Clinton was "a strong supporter of racial profiling against Hispanics," and thst they do not have "the moral authority to lead a national campaign on this issue." The Clintons need to "apologize to all those Hispanics who suffered this 'morally indefensible' practice".

=== Naked racism ===

Stan Greenberg conducted the focus groups that dictated the Clintons' daily buzzwords and talking points to provide the fodder and fuel the Clintons lived and died on. Greenberg's work produced results claiming the Democratic party was too identified with [[Jesse Jackson]] and minorities to speak for 'average Americans' and it needed to appeal to white working class swing voters.<ref>[http://prospect.org/article/crisis-working-majority-0 From Crisis to Working Majority], Stan Greenberg, ''The American Prospect'' 2, no. 7 (September 1991).

Perhaps nothing reveals the cold, cruel, calculated and hateful divisiveness in the heart of the woman than her comment to Sam Donaldson on ABC's ''Prime Time Live'' that Gennifer Flowers was the daughter of Willie Horton. Intended as a throwaway line, with all the facts in now — that it was a lie and she knew it was a lie — we see the cynical manipulation of people, particularly those in the civil rights and women's movements, and her incipient predations.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=1j6Xy5FnBzkC&pg=PA268&lpg=PA268&dq=gennifer+flowers+is+the+daughter+of+willie+horton&source=bl&ots=LIylbGcmHA&sig=35GnRjdcZx32qV_stExpcJV0PFw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjPgdST5s3NAhUIKGMKHfDfCOgQ6AEIODAE#v=onepage&q=gennifer%20flowers%20is%20the%20daughter%20of%20willie%20horton&f=false The Rhetoric of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton: Crisis Management Discourse], Colleen E.

In 1992 for the first time in nearly half a century the party platform made no mention of redressing racial injustice. Through triangulation and a policy of 'get tuff on crime', the Clintons sought to repudiate and distance themselves from the Democratic party's commitment to the struggles of [[African-American]]s. The Clinton's formulated a crime bill purportedly to "put 100,000 new cops on the street". Hillary became one of the chief spokespersons referring to black teens as dogs.

As heir to the [[New Deal]] tradition and key to the New England donor base, Sen. [[Ted Kennedy]]'s blessing on the candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination was vital.

=== African sex slaves ===
Again, this advocate of women and children's rights was asked repeatedly in 2011 to designate [[Boko Haram]] as a terrorist organization after the group bombed the [[United Nations]] headquarters in Abuja.

The American counterterrorism agencies were asking for the legal authority to begin countering Boko Haram. Boko Haram is now an Islamic State province but at the time it held allegiance to al Qaeda. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at the behest of French and British [[corporate]] interests was in negotiation with several al Qaeda affiliates — [[al Qaeda in the Maghreb]], the [[Libyan Islamic Fighting Group]], and Ansar al Shariah — to destabilize Muammar Gaddafi in Libya at the time and didn't want to antagonize or alienate her allies.

In early 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 teenage schoolgirls, most of whom were Black, and announced its intention to sell them as [[marital]] [[sex]] [[slave]]s.<ref>http://www.theledger.com/opinion/20160927/letter-for-hillary-money-matters-more</ref>

It began with People United Means Action (PUMA), a group of Hillary Clinton supporters who not only opposed Barack Obama's nomination, but then went on to oppose his Presidency.<ref>https://youtu.be/bifsEkjTAc8</ref> PUMA members pointed to charges that the media directed sexism and misogyny at Clinton during the primary campaign and expressed anger at Democratic Party leaders' failure to speak out against that or otherwise respond appropriately.

== Secretary of State ==
:''Main article [[Hillary Clinton Secretary of State]]
As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was empowered to approve or reject commercial arms sales to foreign governments based upon a broad range of reasons, from [[national security]] considerations to [[human rights]] concerns. This often brought her into a [[legal]] and [[ethical]] [[conflict of interest]] with donors to the [[Clinton Foundation]].

Sen. [[Elizabeth Warren]] has also criticized the foreign corporations that donate cash to the Clinton Foundation, citing "a French company", the Veolia Group, "that sued Egypt after Egypt raised its minimum wage." Veolia contributed between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Warren criticized Philip Morris, part of the Altria group, another Clinton Foundation donor. And "a Swedish company", Vattenfall, a state-owned Swedish utility; the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency has contributed between $1 million and $10 million.<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/politics/elizabeth-warren-targets-clinton-foundation-donors/ Elizabeth Warren Targets Clinton Foundation Donors], Brent Scher, May 8, 2015. freebeacon.com</ref>

=== The Hillary Clinton Doctrine of smart power ===
:{{See also|Obama war crimes}}
After being rejected for the top leadership of her party in 2008, the 62-year-old Clinton tenaciously held onto a quest for power, releasing her convention delegates and being granted the position of Secretary of State. Neither Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or George W. Bush were particularly qualified in the area of foreign affairs, but in the Democratic party a resume that includes reforming Arkansas public schools, receiving an appointment based on [[nepotism]] to squander tens of millions of dollars for a federal healthcare study program that never took shape, or serving as a non-distinct Senator with no tangible accomplishments qualifies a person to hold a high level position in a time of international crisis that neither they, nor their boss, understand anything about.

'Don't do stupid stuff' was President Obama's instructions to Hillary, the mantra being that George W. Bush was 'stupid', and therefore anything that departed from the policies of G.W. Bush was 'smart'. From this evolved Hillary's doctrine of 'smart power', overthrowing regimes with weapons supplied by donors to the Clinton Foundation without putting U.S. boots on the ground and unleashing millions of refugees worldwide.

All this 'smart power' needed a formal name; in recent decades several President's had 'doctrines' named after themselves — the Nixon Doctrine, the Carter Doctrine, the Bush Doctrine; Bill Clinton was cheated, he never had any interest in foreign policy and little impact, so now it was time for a 'Clinton Doctrine', that is, the 'Hillary Clinton Doctrine' formulated by a Secretary of State that she could ride into the White House with. Thus began the quest to overthrow a U.S. ally as a favor to foreign donors to the Clintons. President Obama woke up too late to see how he had been used and manipulated to bring about a massive humanitarian crisis, and the damage Hillary Clinton's machinations have done to his presidency and legacy.

All in all, the team of President Obama and Secretary Clinton has been a disaster for the world. Teaming up support for the 2016 Presidential election as loyal Democrats is a farce; they already are blaming each other for the hundreds of thousands dead, and the 2,000,000 refugees who have flooded across Europe just since 2014. And they most assuredly will continue to blame each other in their memoirs. A [[skeptic]] may say it doesn't matter, Middle Easterners don't vote in U.S. elections; but a skeptic might also have no problem voting for a leader with no [[conscience]]. The world is now in the midst of a serious displaced persons refugee crisis, the most serious since the end of [[World War II]] in 1945.

==== Catastrophic aftermath ====
[[File:Mass beheading of Christians in Libya.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Hillary's War culminated in the creation of the [[Islamic State]] and mass beheading of [[Christian]]s.]]
Nuclear armed dictators such as [[Kim Jong-un]] witnessed how Gaddafi had been lied to and double-crossed by Secretary Clinton and her consortium.<ref>theatlantic.com"</ref> Decades of negotiation were lost with him, his father, and his grandfather, to persuade [[North Korea]] to give up its WMD, nukes and [[ballistic missile]] programs, return to the community of 'civilized nations', and to live in peace and harmony by accepting the word of the United States chief negotiator, the Secretary of State. When North Korea illegally tested an above-ground nuclear device in January 2016 it specifically cited the fate of Gaddafi as to why it needs a nuclear deterrent.<ref>telegraph.co.uk"</ref>

The brave new world Hillary built in Libya soon descended into chaos. The irascible [[jihad]]i elements Hillary and Obama supported turned their U.S. supplied weapons on American territory, the Embassy at Benghazi.

The Libyan fiasco stiffened the resolve of [[Vladimir Putin]]. Putin did not veto the U.N.

=== Iranian nuke deal ===
The ''EU Times'' reported on 30 December 2012 Hillary Clinton had been injured in the crash landing of a C-12 Huron military aircraft 3 weeks prior in the city of Ahvaz,<ref>http://www.eutimes.net/2012/12/clinton-injured-us-navy-seal-killed-in-secret-us-mission-to-iran/</ref> Iran while on a secret mission in preparation of the Iranian nuclear deal and lifting sanctions.<ref>http://www.americannewsservice.org/search/label/Commander%20Job%20W.%20Price</ref> The report was ciculated among Hillary's staffers who joking referred to it as a conspiracy theory until Les Horn responded to Anthony Milavic on 3 January 2013,
{{Quotebox|Anthony -- FYI. The report appears to be credible. Les<ref>https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/9457</ref>}}
Reports say upon landing the plane encountered "extreme turbulence" causing it to leave the runway where its main landing gear then collapsed. Within seconds Iranian emergency and security personal responded freeing the victims, including Secretary Clinton who was reportedly unconscious and "bleeding profusely."

The ''EU Times'' noted, "US media reports state that Secretary Clinton will return to work next week after her having suffered what they describe as a "nasty bout with stomach flu" and a "concussion" which have kept her missing from public view the past three weeks. The ''Debkafile'' confirmed these reports.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130101003102/http://debka.com/article/22645/Hillary-Clinton-in-hospital-amid-speculation-of-plane-accident-in-Iran</ref>

=== Boko Haram ===
[[File:Nigerian girls.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Hillary Clinton did nothing to protect the lives and safety of 276 Christian girls kidnapped by [[Boko Haram]] and sold as sex slaves, despite multiple agency requests.

Hillary Clinton refused to place [[Boko Haram]] on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the UN headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.<ref>Morrissey, Ed (May 8, 2014).

At the time, Hillary was deeply involved in negotiations with and efforts to arm various Al Qaeda entities to overthrow Gaddafi and Assad.

Boko Haram, a terrorist group numbering 15,000 in three countries of West Africa, has murdered at least 20,000 people and displaced another 2.6 million. Boko Haram in 2011 was affiliated with [[Al Qaeda in the Maghreb]]; by 2017 it had the Islamic States' largest number of members.

In 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 Black African Christian girls and has sold them into slavery, reports indicate.

==== Gay rights ====
While [[homosexuality]] is punishable by [[death]] under certain circumstances, this particular active Clinton donor at the present time is seeking to increase the frequency at which [[execution]]s of [[gay]]s is carried out.

Clinton has held several public offices, and also ran for president in 2008 and 2016. In 2008 she lost to [[Barack Obama]], but she won the democratic nomination in a controversial and contested primary fight over [[populist]] [[Bernie Sanders]] during the [[2016 Presidential Election]]. Although Clinton won the popular vote 65,853,516 (46.1%) to 62,984,825 (48.2%), Trump won the [[electoral college]] vote, 306 to 232, with the incomplete vote count reported.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cnn.com/election/results|title=Election Results|access-date=Nov. 12, 2016}}</ref> Dr. Robert Epstein of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology testified before Congress that [[Google]] bias and meddling had shifted "between 2.6 million and up to 10.4 million votes" to Hillary Clinton.<ref>https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/08/psychologist-google-generated-at-least-2-6-million-votes-for-hillary.php</ref>

=== Wikileaks ===
:''Main articles:'' '''[[Murder of Seth Rich]]''' ''and'' '''[[Clinton body count]]'''
Clinton talking points emphasized the idea that US intelligence, the same people who brought you the [[WMD]] debacle, claim Russia and Putin are responsible for the hack of [[DNC]] servers which resulted in the firing of Democratic National Committee Chair [[Debbie Wasserman Schultz]]. This presumably would exonerate anyone connected with the DNC or Clinton campaign from complity in the Murder of Seth Rich.
[[File:Sethrich-e1494948876256.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Seth Rich (1989-2016) was a Sanders' supporter who leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks. His bullet ridden body was found on a dark Washington DC street two weeks before Hillary's nominating convention.]]
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails provided by [[Wikileaks]] showed clear [[collusion]] between Clinton, [[mainstream media]] outlets, and the DNC to smear [[Bernie Sanders]]. Thousands of hopeful millennials felt betrayed by the Democratic party. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced out on the eve of the convention, less than 24 hours after dozens of emails were published by Wikileaks showing her and her staff rigging the primary elections for Hillary Clinton.

Wikileaks founder [[Julian Assange]] has offered $20,000 cash reward for the arrest and conviction of Seth Rich's killers or killer, the alleged [[Whistleblower Statutes|whistleblower]] who provided the DNC emails to Wikileaks and was murdered execution style in early July 2016. Hillary says of Assange in an email, "Can't we just drone this guy?"<ref>http://truepundit.com/under-intense-pressure-to-silence-wikileaks-secretary-of-state-hillary-clinton-proposed-drone-strike-on-julian-assange/</ref> To silence Assange, Wikileaks internet access was cut by the government of Ecuador after the release of Hillary's private paid speech to [[Goldman Sachs]]. Wikileaks Director, Prof. Gavin Macfayden, was found dead the following week. Macfayden's death was the third of a close associate of Assange in 6 months.<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/wikileaks/status/790004642038050816/photo/1</ref>

Addressing interim DNC Chair [[Donna Brazile]], Hillary proclaimed,
{{Cquote|You stare at the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting ******* Lauer get away with this betrayal?

=== Illegal fundraising 2016 ===
[[File:Harvey-weinstein-Hillary-clinton-dinner-with-after-election-loss (2).jpg|right|200px|thumb|'''Hillary Clinton dines with Democrat mega donor Harvey Weinstein after the 2016 election, December 13, 2016.''' Weinstein, a charter founder of the Clinton Legal Defense Fund organized to defend President Clinton from sexual harassment and assault charges, has been accused of [[rape]] by 97 women.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/list-of-women-who-have-accused-harvey-weinstein-of-sexual-harassment-or-assault-2017-10</ref>]]
Per election, an individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state party committee, and (during the 2016 cycle) $33,400 to a national party's main account. These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of those contribution limits — it's legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit for any one recipient.

State parties however can make unlimited transfers to the national party.

In 2014 the [[Supreme Court]] made clear in ''McCutcheon v. FEC'', the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) may not solicit or accept contributions to circumvent base limits, through "earmarks" and "straw men" that are ultimately excessive — there are five separate prohibitions.

Six-figure donations to the Clinton machine either never actually passed through state party accounts or were never actually under state party control, which adds false FEC reporting violations by the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF), state parties, and the DNC to other violations.

Donna Brazile and others admitted that the DNC placed the funds under the Clinton campaign's direct control, a massive breach of campaign finance law.

Democratic donors, knowing the funds would end up with Clinton's campaign, wrote six-figure checks to influence the election — 100 times larger than allowed.

HVF bundled these megagifts and, on a single day, reported transferring money to all participating state parties, some of which would then show up on FEC reports filed by the DNC as transferring the exact same dollar amount on the exact same day to the DNC. Yet not all the state parties reported either receiving or transferring those sums.<ref>https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/the-anatomy-of-hillary-clintons-84-million-money-laundering-scheme/</ref>

==Allegations of racism==
In early February 2019, it was discovered that Northam included a photo on his medical yearbook page of two people posing together, one wearing [[blackface]] and another dressed as a [[KKK]] member, although Northam implausibly denied that he was one of the two after he admitted to being one of them.<ref>Chretien, Claire (February 1, 2019).

First Lady Pam Northam handed the [[African-American]] daughter of a state employee a piece of [[cotton]]. According to ''[[The Washington Post]]'', Leah Dozier Walker—an employee at Virginia's Department of Education—wrote a letter to lawmakers and Gov. Ralph Northam's office describing Mrs. Northam's behavior during a tour her daughter took at the Governor's mansion. Northam asked Walker's daughter and two other African American students “if they could imagine what it must have been like to pick cotton all day” after passing a cotton sample to them inside a historic kitchen on the property. “I can not for the life of me understand why the first lady would single out the African American pages for this—or—why she would ask them such an insensitive question,” Walker wrote, referring to students who had served as pages during the state Senate.<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/wapo-gov-northams-wife-handed-cotton-to-black-kids-told-them-to-imagine-being-slaves</ref>

Ngo's mother belonged to a middle-class family who owned a jewelry business.

His father worked in [[law enforcement]] in a village in South Vietnam. Both families were imprisoned in Communist re-education camps in the [[Maoist]] belief that hard labor and reeducation would reform counter-revolutionaries until becoming good [[socialist]] citizens. Both experienced unprecedented suffering and [[poverty]] after their time in the camps and fled along with tens of thousands of others on small boats off the southern coast of Vietnam in the late 1970s. They met one another in a [[refugee]] camp in [[Indonesia]] and eventually settled in [[Portland]], [[Oregon]].

'''Annelies Marie “ Anne “ Frank''' (June 12, 1929 - c. March 1945) was a [[Jewish]] girl who was raised in [[Amsterdam]], the [[Netherlands]] during the [[Nazi]] occupation. She, her family, and another family hid in a secret annex above her father's office for over a year until they were captured on August 4, 1944 and brought to [[Bergen-Belsen]], a Nazi [[concentration camp]]. She died of typhus in March, 1945, a month before the camp was liberated.

The exact identity of who the betrayer was is one of the most debated mysteries of [[World War II]]. None of the family survived, except her father, Otto Frank. He found her diary and had it published. ''Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl'' was sold all over the world and remains a very popular and inspiring book. The Anne Frank Center was founded in her name to promote the diary and exposing the Holocaust. Unfortunately, the Anne Frank Center was taken over by leftists and used to push left-wing anti-Trump propaganda,<ref>https://twitter.com/AnneFrankCenter/status/902187913085165569</ref> including doing a tarnishing of the diary via a play that infamously depicted the ICE as Nazis and the illegal immigrants as Anne Frank's family.<ref>https://canadafreepress.com/article/new-anne-frank-play-casts-ice-as-the-nazis</ref>

'''Heinrich Luitpold Himmler''' (1900-1945), was a [[German]] [[Nazi Party]] leader, head of the Schutzstaffel (Protective squadron; [[SS]]) and of the dreaded [[Gestapo]] (Secret state police). Starting from a junior position in the SS, by 1942 he was the second most powerful Nazi leader and designed many of the [[National Socialist]] programs. His loyalty to [[Adolf Hitler]] (until near the end in April 1945), combined with his organizational skills, ambition, and his sadistic nature, made him one of the most notorious [[war criminal]]s of [[World War II]]. As chief of police for all of [[Germany]], Himmler was responsible for establishing [[concentration camp]]s and death camps. Himmler oversaw the [[Holocaust]], the mass murder of 6 million [[Jew]]s, and his anti-Semitism was such that it arguably exceeded even that of Hitler's own anti-Semitic views. Aside from this, he was also infamous for Lebensborn, a plan to abduct well over 12,000 children throughout Europe meeting the description of the "Master Race", and then place them by adoption with prospective families in order to help "breed" the superior race.<ref name="Stolen Nazis: The Tragic Tale">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1111170/Stolen-Nazis-The-tragic-tale-12-000-blue-eyed-blond-children-taken-SS-create-Aryan-super-race.html</ref> During the war he built up the military arm of his SS, which became a "de facto" fourth branch of the German [[military]]. After Hitler dismissed him from all his offices in April 1945, Himmler was captured by the [[British]] Army. However, he committed suicide before the Allies could put him on trial for war crimes at the [[Nuremberg Trials]].

==Background==
Himmler was born near [[Munich]] on October 7, 1900. His father Gebhard Himmler was a teacher and his mother a [[Roman Catholic]]. Himmler was the middle child of the family. He had an older brother, Gebhard (born 1898) and a younger brother, Ernst (born 1905).

A leading psycho[[historian]], UCLA Professor Peter Loewenberg, has attempted a retrospective psychoanalysis of Himmler's childhood and youth, using his diaries, shows him to have been systematic, rigid, controlled, and blocked of affect. His character structure was of the obsessive-compulsive schizoid type, meaning withdrawn emotionally from the external world and existing in a repressed internal psychic world. He used his diary to guard against feelings rather than to express them. The period 1919-22 was marked by acute identity diffusion. His sexual, social, vocational, and religious identities were in flux. The diary shows gender role confusion, a desire to emigrate from Germany, vacillation between animal husbandry and a bourgeois vocation, and strong conflict on the issue of dueling, which contravened his Roman Catholic faith. Himmler, as an adolescent, was a conventional rather than pathological anti-Semite. He acquired virulent [[anti-Semitism]] after 1919 because of his identification with nationalistic [[xenophobic]] paramilitary groups. He joined the Nazi Party in 1923 and the SS in 1925. Himmler became a professional bureaucrat par excellence. Later as Reichsführer-SS, he carried out the most sadistic orders without any show of feeling. Thus the flat, cold, emotionally colorless, adolescent Himmler became a writing desk murderer as an adult - a consistency that relates the child to the man.<ref>Peter J.

He attended the Technical College in Munich and enlisted with the reserve battalion of the Eleventh Bavarian Infantry Regiment in late 1917. He served during [[World War I]] as a clerk and was disappointed he did not see any combat service before the war ended in November 1918. He joined the ranks of a nationalistic paramilitary group known as the Reichskriegsflagge (Imperial War Flag) in 1919. Its leader was future chief of the Nazi SA storm troopers, [[Ernst Röhm]]. This paramilitary group was closely affiliated with the [[Nazi Party]]. Himmler also joined the Nazi Party in August 1923. He took part in the [[Beer Hall Putsch]] of November 1923. After the failure of the Putsch to seize power, Himmler returned home after losing his job over taking part in the event. Soon after, he became a propaganda assistant in the Nazi Party, serving under Gregor Strasser in Bavaria. He then was promoted to being charge of the party office in the area. In 1925, Himmler joined the SS and by January 1929 he was appointed the fourth leader of the SS. He went on to become its longest and most influential leader. When he took over, it was made up of only 280 men and considered an elite bodyguard unit.<ref name="Weale, 2010; Gerwarth 2011">Weale, (2010); Gerwarth (2011)</ref> He also served as a Poultry Farmer after World War I, but before World War II that evidently led to his Lebensborn idea due to thinking he can breed the superior race of humans in a similar manner to the pure white chickens at his farm.<ref name="Stolen Nazis: The Tragic Tale" />

==Nazi Germany==
Himmler proved the most successful empire-builder in the Nazi movement, enlarging his powers and range of activity every year.

===Chief of German police===
When Hitler came to power in January 1933, Himmler controlled the "Schutzstaffel" (Protection Squadron; SS) which at the time was a 50,000-man sub-branch of the Nazi Party. In March Himmler became the Polizeipräsident in Munich. In April 1933 the political and intelligence sections of the Prussian police were combined into one unit and named the "Geheime Staatspolizei" (the [[Gestapo]]). It was under the control of then Prussian Ministry of Interior, [[Hermann Goering]]. During 1933–34, Himmler and his second in command, [[Reinhard Heydrich]] took over the political police departments in each German state until only Prussia was left. On April 20, 1934, Goering handed over the Gestapo to Himmler for use in the purge of the [[SA]]. Himmler appointed SD (Security Service) chief Heydrich, the director of the Gestapo.

At first Ernst Röhm's SA ("brownshirts"), with 2.9 million members, was a much larger and more powerful part of the Nazi Party than Himmler's SS. That suddenly changed in June 1934 as a result of a power struggle between the SA, which had a more radical vision than Hitler would tolerate, and a coalition of Himmler, Goering, the army and big business who wanted the SA eliminated from power. The army feared the SA would absorb it into its ranks or become a people's army. Himmler and Heydrich prepared the list of Röhm's SA associates who were executed or imprisoned in the "[[Night of the Long Knives]]" which took place between June 30 and July 2, 1934. Hitler had Röhm killed, as well. As a result, Himmler and his SS gained enormously; the SS was now its own separate branch and Himmler reported only to Hitler.<ref name="Weale, 2010; Gerwarth 2011"/><ref>The SA lost most of its members and all of its power. Evans (2005), pp. 31-41; Kershaw (1998) 1: pp. 499-522</ref>

On June 17, 1936, Hitler appointed Himmler chief of German police in the Ministry of Interior. With this appointment, Himmler consolidated his power over all police and security forces throughout Germany. That same year, he formed the (Sicherheitspolizei or SiPo) (Security police). The SiPo was made up of two sub-branches, the Kriminalpolizei (national criminal police) and the Gestapo, under Heydrich's overall command. The first official concentration camp was set up by Himmler in March 1933. By 1936 Himmler's SS opened 17 concentration camps for political prisoners (these were different from the death camps opened after 1941).<ref>Evans (2005), pp. 50-55, 84; Burleigh (2000), pp. 178-97</ref><ref>McNab (2009)</ref>

===SS finances===
Himmler created a powerful "state within a state" as the SS acquired more than forty businesses with some 150 plants and factories. Together with money and valuables seized from Jews they paid for the Holocaust and financed the training and equipping of 38 SS divisions.

At first Himmler's SS was underfunded because his enemies in the party controlled the money. As late as 1938, only 3,500 of 14,000 SS officers received monthly pay; the rest were volunteers. Himmler turned to the concentration camps—not yet killing camps—to raise money. Prisoners could be ransomed for a large sum; others had to pay for their keep. Factories were set up in the camps as the prisoners became slave laborers for commercial enterprises owned by the SS. For example, the Gesellschaft fur Textil- und Lederverwertung GmbH (Society for Textile and Leather Work, Ltd.), in Ravensbruck, the women's concentration camp, produced uniforms.<ref>Goldin (1998)</ref> The possessions were salvaged and resold from the Jews who were killed in the gas chambers. SS officials took bribes from Jews and employers of Jews.

==War years==
In 1943 Himmler was appointed Minister of the Interior and strengthened his grip on the civil service and the courts. The SS grew rapidly as Himmler sought a new human type, men keeping their various professional competences but each becoming a part of the intricate fabric of the SS. To its police activities the SS added protection of the German Volk in Poland and elsewhere, their "blood" and their unity, and also the protection of the Nazi leadership. For Himmler the paradoxical mystical motif of his understanding was the SS's great struggle against what Himmler called the two pillars of evil, the Jews and the Slavs.

===Holocaust===
On January 20, 1942, [[Reinhard Heydrich]], Himmler's second-in-command, chaired the [[Wannsee Conference]] to plan the systematic roundup and execution of all Jews the Nazis could reach. The Conference ensured inter-agency co-operation and set strategy and financing. Among Heydrich's directives, [[Adolf Eichmann]], chief of Gestapo sub-section IVB4, the SS's Jewish office, was charged with arranging deportation financing. Eichmann forced Jews into paying for their own deportation. In February 1942 Himmler and another aide Oswald Pohl reorganized SS administrative and economic offices to form the SS Wirtschaft-und Verwaltungshauptamt (Economic and Administrative Head Office, or WVHA). The office of Inspectorate of Concentration Camp became part of the WVHA, and Himmler promoted Pohl to Obergruppenfuhrer und General der Waffen-SS, making him the third highest-ranking officer in the SS. Eighteen weeks after Wannsee, a Czechoslovak commando team with British support assassinated Heydrich, advancing Pohl to the second slot under Himmler. Meanwhile, Himmler had special powers in Poland, where he feuded with the official supposedly in charge Hans Frank.<ref>Burleigh (2000), pp. 454, 646-51</ref>

===Waffen-SS in combat===
Himmler had dreams of his own army, which were strenuously opposed by the regular army. He managed to field three division of the '''Waffen-SS''' on the eastern front in 1941–42; their ferocity impressed Hitler and the SS was allowed to recruit volunteers from neutral and occupied countries. The Wehrmacht, however, intensely disliked the SS troops, so Himmler had to use his negotiating skills directly with Hitler to remove his SS formations from army control. The compromise was that SS generals took operational orders from the army, and in turn commanded their own SS troops.<ref>Burleigh 438ff</ref> By the end of the war, Himmler's SS supplied 38 Waffen-SS divisions comprising volunteers from the [[Hitler Youth]] and from other countries across Europe; including conscripts from 1943, forward. By the end of the war, the Waffen-SS had organized 38 divisions comprising about 800,000 soldiers; 25% were killed in battle. They were never integrated into the Wehrmacht, and grew to become a "de facto" fourth branch of the German military. However, they were never any real threat to replace the army, given their much smaller percentage of size in the armed forces (under 10%) and the fact they never had independence of operational command. They had a reputation for fanatical loyalty, bravery, brutality, mistreatment and killing of prisoners and civilians, and war crimes.<ref>Wegner (1990); McNab (2009)</ref>

In July 1944, after the failed army plot against Hitler's life, Himmler reached the apex of his power. With the added position of Commander in Chief of the German Home Forces, he became on paper at least, the most powerful man in Germany, rivaling in many aspects the power of Hitler.<ref>Padfield (1990)</ref>

==Finale==
As the Allied forces penetrated into Germany from east and west, Himmler opened negotiations for a separate peace with the U.S. and Britain. On April 21, 1945, he met with Folke Bernadotte at the Swedish consulate and offered to surrender Germany to the Western Allies. After this move was rejected, Himmler fled in disguise as Hitler disowned him. On May 21, 1945, Himmler, disguised as a common German soldier, was captured by the British. Two days later, during a routine interrogation, Himmler removed his eyepatch, put on his spectacles and told the British officer who he was. He then committed suicide by biting down onto a concealed [[cyanide]] capsule;<ref name="Weale, 2010"/> a sensible course of action, as he would certainly have been executed after the [[Nuremburg trials]] for his actions. He was buried in an unmarked grave. There are no monuments, and indeed everything he built was systematically eradicated.

==Commentary==
Himmler was one of the most sinister of all the Nazi leaders. Millions were killed by men under his command.

== Quotes from Heinrich Himmler ==
* "It is part of the mission of the SS to give the German people in the next half century the non-Christian ideological foundations on which to lead and shape their lives." -- (1937), quoted in Peter Longerich, Heinrich Himmler (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012), p. 270.

* "In the course of history periods of [[capitalism]] and [[socialism]] alternate with one another; capitalism is the unnatural, socialism the [[economic planning|natural economic system]]...The [[National Socialist]]s and the [[Communists|Red Front]] have the same aspirations. The [[Jew]]s falsified the Revolution in the form of [[Marxism]] and that failed to bring fulfillment."—Speech in [[Potsdam]] (4 October 1943), quoted in Peter Longerich, Heinrich Himmler (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012), pp. 92–93.

* "The best political weapon is the [[terrorism|weapon of terror]]. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear."—Quoted in "Visions of Reality - A Study of Abnormal Perception and Behavior" - by Alberto Rivas - Psychology - 2007, p. 162.

* "In the brief monthly reports of the Security Police, I only want figures on how many Jews have been shipped off and how many are currently left."—To Ernst Kaltenbrunner. Quoted in "Hitler and the Final Solution" - by Gerald Fleming - History - 1987, p. 137.

* "I also want to mention a very difficult subject before you here, completely openly. It should be discussed among us, and yet, nevertheless, we will never speak about it in public. Just as we did not hesitate on 30 June to carry out our duty, as ordered, and stand comrades who had failed against the wall and shoot them. About which we have never spoken, and will never speak. That was, thank God, a kind of tact natural to us, a foregone conclusion of that fact, that we have never conversed about it amongst ourselves, never spoken about it, everyone shuddered and everyone was clear that the next time he would do the same thing again, if it were commanded and necessary. I am talking about the "Jewish evacuation"; the extermination of the Jewish people. It is one of those things that is easily said. "The Jewish people are being exterminated," every party member will tell you, "perfectly clear, it's part of our plans, we're eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, Ha! A small matter." And then along they all come, all the 80 million upright Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. They say: all others are swine, but here is a first-class Jew." -- The Posen speech to SS officers (6 October 1943)

'''Otto Adolf Eichmann''' (1906-1962) was an [[SS]]-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) who organized the logistics of deportation of [[Jews]] during the Nazi [[Final Solution]] (''Endlosung'') following the [[Wannsee Conference]] of January 1942. He was considered an expert of the 'Jewish Question' by the Nazis, having attempted to organize mass Jewish emigration to Palestine in 1937, and was appointed head of the 'Central Office for Jewish Emigration' in 1938. At the end of 1939, he was made head of the 'Reich Security Main Office Sub-Department IV-B4', which dealt with Jewish affairs. Eichmann was Secretary at the [[Wannsee Conference]] where the decision to kill all Jews in Nazi-controlled territories was made. He subsequently organized the deportation of Polish Jews to the [[death camps]], and in 1944 to 1945 organized the deportation of 250,000 Hungarian Jews from [[Budapest]] to the camps. [[George Soros]] was among the collaborators identifying Jews, as [[Hungary]] was a German ally, was never under German occupation, and Jews were not required to wear the [[Star of David]] in public.

In 1945 Eichmann was captured by Allied forces but passed himself off under a false identity. In 1946, he escaped to Austria and then in 1950 he made his way to [[Argentina]] using false documents. There on 11 May 1960 he was captured by a team of [[Mossad]] (Israeli secret service) operatives and smuggled to Israel. He was tried in Jerusalem for [[war crimes]], sentenced to death, and executed by hanging on 1 June 1962. His body was cremated and the ashes deposited in the [[Mediterranean Sea]].

The State of Israel temporarily lifted its ban on [[capital punishment]] making Eichmann is the only person to have been judicially executed in the history of the State of Israel.

'''Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin''' (born '''Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili '''; Russian: Ио́сиф Виссарио́нович Джугашви́ли) (1878 - 1953) was the dictator of the Soviet Union and General Secretary of the [[Communist Party]] of the [[Soviet Union]] ([[CPSU]]) from 1922 until his death from a stroke in 1953. <ref name="BBC Stalin">https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/stalin_joseph.shtml</ref> Joseph Stalin, who was a brutal proponent of [[atheism|atheistic]] [[Communism]], was greatly influenced by the work of the [[evolution|neo-Lamarckian]] [[Trofim Denisovich Lysenko]] as were other Communist leaders.<ref>https://creation.com/the-darwinian-foundation-of-communism</ref><ref>https://creation.com/stalins-ape-man-superwarriors</ref><ref>https://creation.com/a-tale-of-four-countries</ref><ref>https://creation.com/darwin-trotsky-connection</ref> During 1942 - 1943, knowing that few people were inspired by Communism, Stalin reinstated the Russian Orthodox Church in order to boost morale while Russia was at war with Nazi Germany.<ref>http://faroutliers.blogspot.com/2008/08/stalin-reinstates-church-1942-43.html</ref><ref>http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/frroman1.aspx</ref> When the war ended, many Red Army soldiers and Christians who defeated [[fascism]] were shipped off to Soviet [[concentration camp]]s - the [[gulag]].

He became one of [[Lenin|Lenin's]] closest allies when the Kerensky regime was overthrown by Lenin's faction in 1917. During the [[Russian Civil War]] Stalin, who chose his name from the Russian word for steel, held the city of Tsaritsen on the Volga from counter-revolutionary forces. Stalin later renamed Tsaritsen [[Stalingrad]] in honor of his victory; Stalingrad would be the site of [[Germany]]'s massive defeat in [[World War II]].

Stalin was affectionately known as "Uncle Joe"<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Joe-FDR-DEEP-STATE/dp/0692939784</ref> by [[Democrat]]s before [[Joseph Biden]] adopted the nickname.<ref>https://archive.is/XjGXa</ref>

==Rise to Power==
Stalin was tapped by the Okhrana, the Tsarist secret police, as a low-level informer shortly after he was expelled from the Tiflis seminary in 1899. Stalin then began to systematically inform on revolutionary comrades in party organizations in Tiflis, Baku, and Batum over the next few years. He acquired a highly unsavory reputation among the [[Social democracy|Social Democrats]] of these cities and was finally arrested for cover purposes in 1902 when suspicions about him were about to boil over. It was the Okhrana that furnished the invisible means of support for the family he acquired after 1904.

In 1917, the Commissariat of Nationalities was formed with Stalin as its Commissar (Minister). The Commissariat addressed the question of the nationalities of the Russian Empire, and helped integrate them into the [[Soviet Union]]. From 1919-1922 he was also the People's Commissar of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspection (Rabkrin, from the Russian), which was founded to be a check on the burgeoning Soviet bureaucracy.

In 1922, Lenin named Stalin General Secretary of the CPSU. In 1924 Stalin in turn created the "Secret Department," a unit of 94 of his personal functionaries that maintained special privileges as the ''[[nomenklatura]]'', or a list of trusted individuals. He also appointed regional party secretaries who all, of course, supported Stalin. Through the Secret Department Stalin gained control of the [[Red Army]] after removing [[Leon Trotsky]] in 1925 and the OGPU (later, [[KGB]]) when its leader [[Felix Dzerzhinsky]] died in 1926. Lenin had foreseen all of this and had warned in his last testament that Stalin should be removed from General Secretary because the position's power was unlimited.
[[Image:Stalin-Lenin.jpg|right|thumb|[[Lenin]] left, Stalin right]]
Stalin, however, did not allow this to happen. His most powerful rival, Leon Trotsky, who was the commander of the Red Army, was painted as a danger to the Revolution, because he continued to push the idea of international revolution; the "left opposition." Other Soviet leaders, like [[Zinoviev]], leader of the [[Comintern]], and [[Kaminev]], the head of the Communist Party in Moscow, were painted with the same brush because they supported Trotsky and did not wish to expel him from the CPSU in 1927. Later, he accused his ally [[Bukharin]] of being a member of the "right opposition," i.e. he was in favor of a more capitalistic economic system, as seen under the [[New Economic Policy]] (NEP) of the early 1920s. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico in 1940 by [[Ramón Mercader]] in an extensive conspiracy that included underground operatives from the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA). Zinoviev, Kaminev, and Bukharin were the center of the infamous "[[Great Purge|show trials]]" of the 1930s. All were put to death.

==Objectives of the Comintern==
In 1932, [[Sergei Ivanovich Gussev]], who had served as [[Comintern]] agent and Stalin's personal representative in the United States, "commanded the [[Communist Party of the United States|Communists in the United States]] to take up four tasks. Two of them were the defence of the Soviet Union and the furtherance of Red conquest of [[China]]." In 1933 the notorious [[Gerhart Eisler]] "was secretly sent into the United States by Moscow to make sure these orders were carried out."<ref>[[Louis F. Budenz]], ''The Techniques of Communism'', (Chicago: Henry Regnery and Company, 1954), pp. 162-163.</ref> [[Edgar Snow]] wrote in his 1937 book, ''Red Star Over China,'' "The political ideology, tactical line and theoretical leadership of the [[Chinese Communists]] have been under the close guidance, if not positive direction, of the Communist International, which during the last decade has become virtually a bureau of the [[Russian Communist Party]]. In the final analysis this means that for better or worse, the policies of the Chinese Communists, like the Communists in every other country, have had to fall in line with, and usually subordinate themselves to, the broad strategic requirements of [[Soviet Russia]], under the dictatorship of Stalin."<ref>''Red Star Over China'' by Edgar Snow, New York, 1937, pg. 374.</ref>

==Catch and Overtake==
In 1928 Stalin decided that the Soviet Union was not properly industrialized to enjoy a communist future, so he initiated the First Five Year Plan and the campaign to collectivize agriculture in order to "build socialism," and to "catch and overtake" the capitalist world. Stalin fanned the fires of collectivization, claiming that peasants had been hoarding grain and that they needed to be controlled. Under this program, rich peasants (kulaks), were exiled or killed for being enemies of the people, and peasants' land was taken in order to introduce collective farming to expedite grain appropriations. Many were called kulaks by jealous neighbors, while the peasants who remained were often the laziest and most ill-suited to producing enough grain. Collectivization caused massive famine in Russia, particularly in [[Ukraine]] (see [[Holodomor]]), where Stalin ordered the Red Army to blockade certain regions and take grain by force. It is estimated that the famine of 1931-33 killed 6-7 million people, while 20 million starved.

The First Five Year Plan was a program of crash-industrialization. After [[World War I]] and the Russian Civil War Russia had an industrial capacity equal to that of its 1861 capacity. The only way for Russia to be able to break the "capitalist encirclement," Stalin declared, was to industrialize. Brigades of shock workers were formed to work faster and harder than the world had ever seen. Most of this, however, was pure propaganda, although the shock workers did set the record for concrete poured in a single shift. Compared to the capitalist world which was experiencing the Great Depression, Soviet growth was impressive. Between 1929 and 1937, 8,000 factories were constructed, average GDP growth was around 10%, and the official unemployment statistics, which included gulag detainees, was 0. In 1936, after the Second Five Year Plan, Stalin declared socialism "built." Nevertheless, the capitalist world lived better than the Soviet Union, despite the Great Depression. [[John Scott]], an American CPUSA member and Comintern operative who was living in the Soviet Union during the Five Year Plans, notes this in his memoirs of that period ''Behind the Urals.'' The legacy of the Five Year Plans (most of which Stalin declared "completed" in 4 years) injured the Soviet's production models, because the encouraged quantity and speed over quality. However, the planning of the 1930s enabled the Russians to defeat the Nazis in the 1940s.<ref>Suvorov, Viktor. ''Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?// (Viking Press/Hamish Hamilton; 1990) ISBN 0241126223.</ref>

==Stalin's Terror==
Between 1936 and 1938, Joseph Stalin launched his purges to rid the Soviet Union of "fifth columnists," or spies who were loyal to the [[capitalist]] world. During the Terror 3 million people were arrested on various and often made-up charges, while 750,000 were executed. Due to the interrogation techniques of the NKVD (later, KGB), which often were torturous, most of those arrested confessed and were sent to work camps, called the [[Gulag]] for 10 years and sometimes even 25. Here, prisoners were forced to labor in mines, to log forests, or to do construction. Few lived through their sentences.

In early 1937, a senior officer of the OGPU (KGB) stumbled upon a highly classified file in the old archives of the Tsarist secret police, the Okhrana. It detailed the work of one J. V. Djugashvili as an informant and agent provocateur for the Okhrana inside the Bolshevik Party before the Russian Revolution. The OGPU officer, Stein, was shocked. Djugashvili was the true name of Stalin who was now purging the Old Bolsheviks on charges of being foreign spies and counter-revolutionaries.

Stein took the file to a close friend, the head of the OGPU in the Ukraine, who went over it carefully with his trusted deputy, Zinovy Katsnelson, a cousin and close friend of Alexander Orlov. Convinced of its authenticity, they shared it with Jonah Yakir, commander of the Red Army in the Ukraine, and Stanislav Kossior, secretary of the Communist Party in the Ukraine. Alarmed by the file's revelations, Yakir flew to Moscow and revealed its contents to [[Mikhail Tukhachevsky]], Supreme Commander of the Red Army. They brought his deputy, Yan Gamarnik, into their confidence and decided to overthrow Stalin in a coup d'état, denounce him and execute him.

As the coup plan was being developed, Katsnelson traveled to Paris and informed Orlov. The plot was foiled and Orlov's fate was sealed.

The infamous show trials of former leaders of the Soviet Union occurred during this period, where they were accused of working with Trotsky or sabotaging the Soviet Union. Stalin also eviscerated the high command of the Red Army, killing 90% of the leadership. The minions of oppression were not spared either; of the NKVD's 809 officials, 43 lived through the purges. The leadership of the communist party was persecuted as well. For example, in 1934 130 members of the 139-member Central Committee were arrested. The Terror forever made Russians afraid to speak out against the government, and also made sure that no one but Stalin could ever rule the Soviet Union as effectively. This also ensured that the Red Army could not fight effectively when Nazi Germany invaded the USSR during Operation Barbarossa.

==Famine of 1933==
{{main|Holodomor}}
* "This famine was deliberately engineered by the regime of Joseph Stalin {{years since|1933}} years ago claimed millions of lives, mostly in [[Ukraine]] but also in some other parts of the [[Soviet Union]]. It is today considered one of the worst [[atrocities]] of the Soviet regime and a terrifying act of [[genocide]]. Even so, the famine of 1933 is relatively unknown. ... Estimates of how many people died in Stalin's engineered [[famine]] of 1933 vary. But they are staggering in their scale -- between seven and 11 million people."<ref>[http://www.ukemonde.com/news/rferl.html Stalin's Starvation of Ukraine – Seventy Years Later, World Still Largely Unaware Of Tragedy], By Askold Krushelnycky, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Prague, 8 April 2003.</ref>

Besides Ukraine, the Northern Caucasus, Volga Region and Kazakhstan, the South Urals, and West Siberia were also affected.<ref>[https://www.philosophy.nsc.ru/sites/default/files/journals-old/humscience/2_98/15-MAL.HTM] (Russian)</ref><ref>http://www.demoscope.ru/weekly/2003/0101/analit02.php (Russian)</ref>

==Censorship and propaganda policies==
{{Main|Atheism and historical revisionism}}

During Stalin's time in power, Stalin often altered various newspapers to push his agenda, and even edited out anyone who displeased him, which was most infamously evident with former NKVD head [[Nikolai Yezhov]] subsequent to his death in 1940 via execution, where a photograph of him walking with Stalin near the Moscow-Volga Canal had Yezhov airbrushed out. Ironically, after his death and Khrushchev's secret speech, Stalin himself would end up falling victim to the very same censorship policies he himself had used against his enemies, with footage of him in Soviet propaganda films depicting Lenin's rise to power often adding in a silhouette of a soldier conveniently placed in where Stalin was in the original footage.

==World War II==
To avoid war with [[Germany]], Stalin ordered the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, [[Molotov]], to sign a non-aggression pact with [[Adolf Hitler]], named the [[Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact]], on August 19, 1939. The treaty detailed the agreement to split up [[Poland]] between Germany and the Soviet Union, give Stalin the Baltic Republics of [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], and [[Estonia]], and to allow the Soviets to wage war on [[Finland]], a war that ended in a humiliating Soviet defeat. Part of the reason why Stalin arranged for the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was so he would use Nazi Germany and have them fight a prolonged front against France and Britain so as to weaken Europe enough to have Communism spread quickly through the continent, largely because he realized war would have benefitted Communism's spread better than peace. Both sides, however, knew that they would eventually engage in hostilities.<ref>Albert L. Weeks: Stalin`s Other War. Soviet Grand Strategy 1939-1941 Rowman & Littlefield, USA 2002 '''STALIN:''' ''"The question of war or peace has entered a critical phase for us. If we conclude a mutual assistance treaty with France and Great Britain, Germany will back off of Poland and seek a modus vivendi with the Western Powers. War would thus be prevented but future events could take a serious turn for the USSR.'' ''"If we accept Germany’s proposal to conclude with it a non-aggression pact, Germany will then attack Poland and Europe will be thrown into serious acts of unrest and disorder. Under these circumstances we will have many chances of remaining out of the conflict while being able to hope for our own timely entrance into war.'' ''"The experience of the past 20 years shows that in peacetime it is impossible to maintain a Communist movement throughout Europe that would be strong enough so that a Bolshevik party could seize power. A dictatorship by this party becomes possible only as a result of a big war. We are making our choice and it is clear. We must accept the German proposal and politely send the Anglo-French delegations back home. The first advantage we will get will be the destruction of Poland up to the very approaches to Warsaw, including Ukrainian Galicia.'' ''"Germany has given us full leeway in the Baltic countries and has no objection to returning Bessarabia to the USSR. Germany is also prepared to yield on giving us a sphere of influence in Rumania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The question of Yugoslavia still remains open.'' ''"At the same time we must anticipate what will ensue from the destruction of Germany in war as well as from a German victory. If it is destroyed, the sovietization of Germany follows inevitably and a Communist government will be established. We must not forget that a sovietized Germany would face great danger if such sovietization occurred after the defeat of Germany in a short war. England and France would be powerful enough to seize Berlin and destroy a Soviet Germany. We would not be able to come to the aid of our Bolshevik comrades in Germany.'' ''"Therefore, our task consists in helping Germany wage war for as long as possible with the aim in view that England and France would be in no condition to defeat a sovietized Germany. While hewing to a policy of neutrality and while waiting for its hour to come, the USSR will lend aid to today’s Germany and supply it with raw materials and foodstuff. Of course, it follows that we will not allow such shipments to jeopardize our economy or weaken our armed might."'' ''"At the same time we must conduct active Communist propaganda especially as directed at the Anglo-French bloc and primarily in France. We must be prepared for the fact that in France in wartime the Communist Party there must abandon legal activities and go underground. We realize that such work will require an enormous sacrifice in lives. However, we have no doubts about our French comrades. Above all, their task will be to break up and demoralize the French army and police. If this preparatory work is completed in a satisfactory way, the security of Soviet Germany is assured. This will likewise ensure the sovietization of France.'' ''"To realize these plans it is necessary that war last as long as possible and that all efforts should be made, whether in Western Europe or the Balkans, to see that this happens.'' ''"Let us look now at the second possibility – namely, that Germany becomes the victor. Some propose that this turn of events would present us with a serious danger. There is some truth in this notion. But it would be erroneous to believe that such a danger is as near and as great as they assume. If Germany achieves victory in the war, it will emerge from it in such a depleted state that to start a conflict with the USSR will take at least 10 years.'' ''"Germany’s main task would be then to keep watch on the defeated England and France to prevent their restoration. On the other hand, a victorious Germany would have at its disposal a large territory. Over the course of many years, Germany would be preoccupied with the exploitation of these territories and establishing in them the German order. Obviously, Germany would be too preoccupied to move against us.'' ''"There is still another factor that enhances our security. In the defeated France, the French Communist Party would be very strong. A Communist revolution would follow inevitably. We would exploit this in order to come to the aid of France and to win it over as an ally. Later these peoples who fell under the “protection” of a victorious Germany likewise would become our allies. We would have a large arena in which to develop the world revolution.'' ''Comrades! It is in the interests of the USSR, the Land of the Toilers, that war breaks out between the Reich and the capitalist Anglo-French bloc. Everything must be done so that the war lasts as long as possible in order that both sides become exhausted. Namely for this reason we must agree to the pact proposed by Germany and use it so that once this war is declared, it will last for a maximum amount of time. We must step up our propaganda within the combatant countries so that they are prepared for that time when the war ends."''</ref>

It seems that Stalin anticipated this less than Hitler, who, in June 1941 invaded the Soviet Union with the largest land army ever assembled. It consisted of 170 divisions, or 3.5 million troops. Stalin was caught off guard, and the [[Nazis]] blazed a path through the Ukraine and European Russia. Reaching [[Moscow]] in October 1941, the Nazis threatened Stalin and the entire Soviet Union with defeat. In only 6 months, the Nazis controlled one third of the Soviet economy, a total of 5% of the Earth's surface. Hitler's troops were defeated at Moscow during the winter of 1941-42 after Stalin appointed [[Yorky Zhukov]] as commander of the Red Army. A spy in the German embassy in Tokyo, [[Richard Sorge]], informed Stalin that Japan was not going to attack [[Siberia]], freeing thousands of winter ski-troops to move to Moscow to defeat the Nazis. It was during this time that Stalin famously invoked the name of [[God]] and allowed religious services to be conducted after 20 plus years of repression. Also, 1500 factories were evacuated and restored in Siberia and 12-15 million workers were moved east of the [[Urals]], where Soviet production was higher than Germany's in 1942, despite Germany holding some 50% of Soviet industry.

The Red Army went on the offensive after the defense of Moscow, but soon the Nazis gained the advantage and pushed to Stalingrad. More than one million troops fought on each side in urban combat. Hitler refused to allow surrender, and eventually the Nazis were encircled and routed. After turning the tide of war in Stalingrad, the 1943 [[Kursk]] tank battle was decisive in pushing the Nazis from European Russia. In two years, the Red Army pushed the Nazis all the way back to [[Berlin]]. Stalin used his control of Eastern Europe to extract concessions from [[President Roosevelt]] at Allied conferences, including control over the region. [[Winston Churchill]] warned against this very control, for he greatly feared Soviet hegemony in Europe. Victorious, Stalin named himself Generalissimo and became more popular than ever in the Soviet Union and more dangerous than ever to the capitalist world.

Over the course of World War II, around 25 million Russians died. Twenty million were in the armed services. The total number of 25 million reflects half of the worldwide losses of human life during World War II. The population did not recover until 1956. Many Soviet POWs, like famous writer [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]], were sent to the Gulag after the war because they had fallen into German hands, and were accused of being spies. This swelled the prison camps by the thousands.

==Post-War Period and Death==
Similar to the 1930s, Stalin undertook a harsh campaign of industrialization, which hurt the Soviets as much as it helped them rebuild. Money was devalued to one-tenth of its previous value, 2 million German and Japanese POWs were forced to stay in the Soviet Union and rebuild the country, and 10% of investment from 1945-46 was from looted machinery. The crops produced by household plots were collected by the government to sell, and a famine in 1947 caused by drought and Soviet single-crop farming killed 2 million. The recovery was built on the Soviet subjects.
[[Image:Stalinfuneral.jpg|250px|right|thumb|''Right to left:'' Lavrenti Beria, Georgi Malenkov, Vassily Stalin, V.M. Molotov, Nikolai Bulganin]]
After World War II, Stalin's [[cult of personality]] emerged as the dominant force of Soviet life. He was credited as the savior of the Soviet Union and the architect of victory, though it was really General Zhukov who was responsible for most of this. The communist youth group, the [[Komsomol]], devoted songs to "the Father of All Nations" or "the Driver of the Locomotive of History." Party membership increased by one million people between 1945 and 1953. Books quoted Stalin as an expert in communism, while he was often photographed surrounded by children to make him seem friendlier. This all served to form a deep, personal connection with Stalin for many Soviets. Indeed, he was loved by the Soviets. Between 1949 and 1952 Stalin increasingly took vacations and met with the [[Politburo]] less and less.

The atheistic Stalin became increasingly paranoid as he grew older.<ref name="BBC Stalin"/> He eventually suffered from a stroke on March 1, 1953. Ironically, his own megalomaniacal nature beforehand ensured no one dared try to check up on him, as his own guards feared checking up on him lest they be executed due to his leaving explicit orders to not disturb him in his room. Following a stroke on March 1, 1953, Stalin died on March 5 after a period of declining performance. On his deathbed, he also glared at the attendees with disgust and wordlessly pointed at each of them before eventually pointing at a wall, with Svetlina, his daughter, recalling this event, indicating this was the most haunting event she ever experienced. When he died in 1953 an anxious mob at his viewing crushed and trampled some mourners to death. Dissidents like Sakharov, the man forced in a prison to build the Soviet atom bomb, cried upon hearing that Stalin had died, despite their intense hatred of him. Despite his terror, he had convinced millions that he was their father. When he died a short power struggle ensued, one which led to the execution of KGB head [[Beria]] as a spy. Eventually [[Khrushchev]] became the General Secretary of the CPSU and denounced Stalin's repressive tactics, his purges, gulags, and his cult of personality in the [[Secret Speech]] at the 20th Party Congress of 1956. Gulags were dismantled and the political climate was slightly less tense, but Soviet oppression still continued. The period following Stalin's rule is called the "thaw," the start of life again after a long winter.

===Ethics disclosure===
Dunn is a co-founder of SKDKnickerbocker (SKDK), a corporate and political consulting firm. After initially claiming that she would return to SKDK after the 2020 campaign, Dunn became a senior White House adviser. The role would only last until summer 2021, at which point she would return to SKDK she told [[MSM]] reporters,

The temporary status allowed Dunn to skirt traditional ethics disclosures, which require government officials to make public previous consulting clients, investments, debts, and other potential [[conflict of interest|conflicts of interest]]. Instead, she was hired into a special, temporary role that keeps her disclosure — and, therefore, her client list at SKDK and any conflicts of interest — out of the public eye.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2021/05/04/anita-dunn-ethics-disclosure-biden-skdk/</ref>

[[Tara Reade]] had been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, digital penetration which is [[rape]], retaliation, and silencing.

Then in January 2020 Reade tried to come forward again. This time she contacted Times Up Now, the sexual harassment organization. Ryan Grim at ''The Intercept'' reported the organization said they couldn't help her because Joe Biden was a candidate for federal office and supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/</ref> They also pointed out that the public relations firm that works on behalf of the Times Up Now Legal Defense Fund is SKD Knickerbocker, and SKDKnickerbocker managing director is former [[Obama]] [[White House]] Communication's director, the notorious [[Maoist]] and [[liberal]] apologist for [[mass murder]], Anita Dunn.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tfnIkQ-qU</ref> Dunn is the top adviser to Joe Biden.<ref>https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/</ref>

In other words, Times Up Now, an alleged women's support group, and Anita Dunn will take political dirt on their enemies, and give a heads up to their allies. In the case of Tara Reade, Dunn used Reade to vault herself into Biden's inner orbit and a cushy job in the future Biden administration. It was no surprise when Biden appointed Dunn his chief advisor in January 2020 before the [[2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary]], since Dunn now had the goods on Biden. Given Biden's mental incapacity questions have surged as to who really is in charge. Anita Dunn, the woman who considers the greatest mass murderer the planet has ever known as her "favorite philosopher', appears to hold that trusted position.

'''Rudolph William Louis Giuliani(Born May 28th 1944) is a pro-[[Donald Trump|Trump]] spokesman previously known for serving two terms as [[Mayor]] of [[New York City]] from 1994 to 2001, including the time of the [[9/11]] terrorist attacks. Giuliani was heavily promoted by the [[liberal media]] because of his [[liberal]] social views and his nearly daily pandering to press. He received ''Time'' Magazine's "Person of the Year" and was sometimes called "America's Mayor." One of the [[Biden junta]]'s first actions was to execute a [[warrant]] against Guiliani, who led challenges of [[Democrat voter fraud]] in the [[2020 presidential election]].<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2021/04/28/giuliani-pad-raided-by-feds-492636</ref>

Giuliani supported [[Donald Trump]] for president, and was picked by Trump to be his personal attorney in April 2018. While defending Trump in the [[Mueller probe]] from allegations of [[Russia collusion]], Guiliani uncovered the [[Ukrainian collusion]] scandal.

As [[Republican Party|Republican]] mayor of New York City he cracked down on "quality of life" crimes, including cleaning up [[Times Square]], taking the homeless off the streets and replacing welfare offices into job centers. By the end of his two terms the unemployment rate was cut in half, the crime rate dropped 57% and the murder rate dropped 65%.<ref>http://www.draftrudy.com/record</ref> Giuliani gained the reputation of one of the greatest mayors in history.

Prior to serving as Mayor, Giuliani became a high-ranking member of the Department of Justice in the [[Reagan]] [[administration]] in 1981. In 1983 he become U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He was known for overzealously prosecuting figures who attracted media attention and who were subsequently found "Not Guilty" in jury trials. In 2007-2008 Rudy Giuliani emerged as a [[liberal]] candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and was a complete bust in the primaries.

Weeks after the [[Biden junta]] seizured power, Biden and wingman [[Merrick Garland]] lifted President Trump's ban on harassment of political opponents and executed a [[warrant]] on Mayor Giuliani to seize electronic devices.

==Mayor of New York City==

Giuliani brought a new, conservative approach to the ills of New York City. He argued that crime's root cause was not poverty but poor law enforcement; poverty was not alleviated by social welfare programs but perpetuated by them; and the public schools needed not more money but fewer bureaucrats. He made major efforts to reform city affairs, opposed at every step by labor unions, the board of education, social-service agencies, the school bureaucracy, and identity-group politicians. He became a media favorite based on his conservative crime fighting and his liberal positions on [[abortion]], [[gun control]] and [[homosexuality]]. As mayor he would hold almost daily press conferences, and his personal indiscretions regarding his married life became favorite topics for the media. He also hosted his own radio show once a week entitled ''Live From City Hall With Rudy Giuliani''. The show would discuss current city events, and became known by critics as "Rudy's bullying pulpit", in that when open calls were taken, Giuliani would not be hesitant to be confrontational with callers who disagreed with him.

In October 1995, Mayor Giuliani ejected [[terrorist]] [[Yasser Arafat]], leader of the [[Palestine]] Liberation Organization (PLO) from a concert at New York's Lincoln Center. Giuliani also refused to invite [[Cuba]]n dictator [[Fidel Castro]] to a gala dinner, "It's my party and I'll invite who I want."

===Crime===

As Mayor, Rudy Giuliani sought to return accountability to city government and improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Under his leadership, overall crime fell 57%, murder was reduced by 65%, shootings dropped 72% and New York was recognized by the F.B.I. as the safest large city in America for five consecutive years. Although national crime rates fell in the 1990s, New York exceeded all other cities. Among Giuliani's most notable accomplishments during his mayoralty was his successful assault on [[pornography]] businesses in [[Times Square]]. The neighborhood had long been a mecca for "sexually oriented businesses", but through a prolonged campaign which included maintaining an alliance of local businesses, conservative and feminist groups and the general public, Giuliani managed to clean it up and replaced it with legitimate theaters, restaurants and shops, making it a world class tourist attraction for families.

Mayor Giuliani, along with New York City Police Department Commissioner [[Bill Bratton]], adopted an anti-crime approach known as the "Broken Window Theory." Which is the notion that if by cracking down on minor crimes such as [[graffiti]] or litter, it will lead to stopping more serious crimes before they occur. In 1994 Giuliani and Bratton launched the initiative CompStat, which looked at crime geographically and statistically monitored criminal activity on specific street corners. The program proved to be successful in reducing crime and is still used today. In 1996 it won the Innovations in Government Award from the Kennedy School of Government at [[Harvard]] [[University]]. However, Bratton resigned in 1996 after having personal disagreements with Giuliani.

===Economic record===

Under Mayor Giuliani [[unemployment]] dropped from 10.4% to 5.0%, personal income rose 50%, a $2.3 billion budget deficit was turned into a $2.9 billion surplus by FY 2001, there was a 17% reduction in New Yorkers [[tax]] burden, and over 640,000 people were cut from welfare rolls. [[Club for Growth]], a conservative political action committee which supports lower taxes, school choice and free trade has said that, "it is impossible to ignore Giuliani's overall commitment to a pro-growth philosophy and his executive talent for implementing that philosophy in a hostile political environment."

During his 1993 Mayoral campaign Giuliani proposed putting a 90-day limit to stay at homeless shelters, "It sounds generous and compassionate, but it isn't. There's an understanding of human psychology that's missing. The less you expect of people, the less you get. The more you expect, the more you get." <ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/rudolph-giuliani</ref>

On [[education]] Giuliani was a strong advocate of school choice. He created the Charter School Initiative in 1999, which led to creation of 17 new schools by the Fall 2001. His administration offered grants of up to $250,000 to new [[Charter Schools]]. In 1999 he placed $12 million into the budget for parochial [[school vouchers]]. Wanting to reduce school bureaucracy, Giuliani frequently battled [[liberal]]s at the New York City Board of Education. In April 1999, Giuliani said he would like to "blow up" the board of Education.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/28/nyregion/a-wider-audience.html</ref>

===Immigration===

Giuliani has received criticisms from conservatives for turning New York City into a [[Sanctuary city]]. In 1996, he said that "We're never, ever going to be able to totally control [[immigration]] in a country that is as large as ours." He went on to say, "If you were to totally control immigration into the United States, you might very well destroy the economy of the United States, because you'd have to inspect everything and everyone in every way possible." As Mayor, Giuliani said that, "There isn’t a mayor or public official in this country that is more strongly pro immigrant than I am. Including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an anti immigrant legislation about 2 or 3 years ago."

===The arts===

In 1999 Giuliani threatened to cut off city funding for the [[Brooklyn]] Museum if the museum did not remove a painting of [[Virgin Mary]] next to elephant dung and female genitalia pictures. Although [[Christian]]s supported the mayor's actions, the museum and the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] successfully filed a lawsuit against Giuliani that his actions violated the First Amendment. Mayor Giuliani was forced to restore funding.

===September 11 terrorist attacks===

[[Image:Rudy_Giulianipersonoftheyear.jpg|thumb|300px]] On Sept. 10, 2001, Giuliani was known as a crime fighter; his approval rating hovered around 50 percent. He was a [[lame duck]], barred by term limits from seeking re-election, in a city that in any case felt increasingly worn out by eight years of his combative style. And while his supporters talked of a presidential bid, the prospect seemed a long shot for a Republican who supported abortion rights and restrictions on gun sales.

A week after the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|9/11 attacks]], due to his almost universally acclaimed leadership in the aftermath of that tragedy, his approval rating hovered at nearly 80%. Since then he has been on almost every short list of Republican contenders. In his talks, Giuliani uses Sept. 11 to make two points. The first is that he has proven himself to be a leader, and having a proven leader in these troubled times, he tells audiences, is more important than whether you agree with everything he stands for. The other is that his handling of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks proved his competency.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/12/us/politics/12topic-giuliani.html?_r=1&oref=slogin</ref>

The International Association of Fire Fighters, America's largest union of [[firefighter]]s, posted a grievance against Giuliani's November 2001 decision to reduce the number of firefighters searching the rubble of Ground Zero for the remains of some 300 fallen comrades.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/09/giuliani.firefighters.ap/index.html</ref>

He tried and failed to change the city's law prohibiting a third consecutive term. He began Giuliani Partners, which immediately became a consultant to businesses worldwide on dealing with terrorism. He gave many highly-paid speeches on how leadership can deal with terrible crises, like he did, and in 2002 published ''Leadership'', recounting how he handled 9-11.

Giuliani strongly recommended in 2004 that his business partner and former city police chief [[Bernard Kerik|Bernard B. Kerik]] be named Secretary of Homeland Security. President [[George W. Bush]] was about to do so when it was learned that Kerik was involved in multiple scandals. In November, 2007, Kerik was indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges relating to his former position under Giuliani, as well as personal tax evasion charges. The indictment seriously weakened the Giuliani presidential bid.<ref>[[John Solomon]] and Matthew Mosk, "Ex-Partner Of Giuliani May Face Charges," [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/30/AR2007033002425.html ''Washington Post'' March 31, 2007]</ref>

==Political campaigns==
In 1989, Giuliani ran for mayor of New York City on the [[Liberal]] and [[Republican]] tickets, losing to [[Democratic Socialist]] [[David Dinkins]] in the closest election in New York City history. In a rematch in 1993, Dinkins popularity faltered after he alienated the New York City Police Department for his support for an all civilian panel to oversee brutality complaints.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/26/nyregion/dinkins-names-police-corruption-panel-and-urges-civilian-police-review.html</ref> This led to massive protests against the Mayor. As crime rates rose, Dinkins gained the image of being weak and incumbent. On the contrary, Giuliani stressed quality of life, crime, business and education. He was elected the 107th Mayor, becoming the first Republican mayor of New York City in over 25 years. In 1997 he was easily re-elected by a wide margin, carrying four out of five boroughs.

In 2000 a diagnosis of prostate cancer had led Rudy Giuliani to drop out of a run for the Senate seat eventually won by Democrat [[Hillary Clinton]].

===2008 Presidential campaign===
{{Main|Rudy Giuliani 2008 Presidential Campaign}}

Giuliani ran for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 2008. He repeatedly talked about his mayoral achievements, losing the attention of many supporters.<ref>"A Biography Of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani" The City of New York Office of the Mayor [http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/bio.html]; See also [http://www.time.com/time/poy2001/ "Time's 2001 Person of the Year Rudy Giuliani"]</ref> After the [[John McCain]] campaign apparently collapsed in mid 2007, Giuliani took the lead in national polls until December 2007, when he began to fall behind other candidates.<ref>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/republican_presidential_nomination-192.html#polls</ref>

Downplaying his liberal views on abortion, gun control, homosexual and immigration, Giuliani emphasized his heroic leadership of New York City after 9-11, as well as his cutting crime in the city and his hard-line stance against terrorism. Although he campaigned vigorously, he was so focused on his own record in New York that he did not make contact with what the voters were interested in. Worse, he could not shake off charges of corruption. He lost most of his support in the last two months of 2007. He won only 3.5% of voters in Iowa; 8.5% in New Hampshire; 2.8% in Michigan; 4.3% in Nevada and 2.1% in South Carolina. Pulling out of other states, he concentrated all his efforts in a losing battle for Florida, where he ran third with a mere 15%. Analysts noted the more voters saw of Giuliani, the fewer supported him.<ref>Matthew Continetti, "The Giuliani Implosion: From frontrunner to also-ran in eight short weeks," [http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/584edbsw.asp ''The Weekly Standard'' Jan. 21, 2008]; Justin Wolfers, "How Rudy's Bet Went Wrong," [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120111080410210391.html?mod=rss_Politics_And_Policy ''Wall Street Journal'' Jan. 23, 2008]; Michael Powell and Michael Cooper, "For Giuliani, a Dizzying Free-Fall", [https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/30/us/politics/30giuliani.html?ref=politics ''New York Times'' Jan. 30, 2008]</ref>

[[Image:Rudy2.jpg|thumb|475px|Horsey editorial cartoon shows social conservative dismay regarding Giuliani's morals; March 23, 2007]]
He left the race after Florida and endorsed McCain. When McCain was nominated Giuliani criss-crossed the country speaking on his behalf.

==Political views==
Rudy Giuliani is known for having liberal positions on social issues such as [[abortion]], [[gun control]] and [[gay rights]], while conservative positions on national defense and fiscal policy.

Giuliani supports "responsible" restrictions on abortion such as parental notification with a judicial bypass and a ban on [[partial birth abortion]] – except when the life of the mother is at stake. However, In 1997 Giuliani said that then - President [[Bill Clinton]] made the right decision when he vetoed a ban on partial birth abortion. During his 2000 Senate campaign he said that he would "vote to preserve the option for women." Giuliani has also given six contributions to [[Planned Parenthood]] in the 1990s. The payments, totaling $900, were made in 1993, 1994, 1998 and 1999. Planned Parenthood is one of the top abortion advocates and abortion providers in the [[United States]].

Giuliani has changed his views on guns over time. As mayor of New York City, he was a proponent of urban gun control, but, while running for President, has stated that he thinks differently about more mid-west environments. As Mayor of New York City, Giuliani became a nationally visible figure in favor of gun control measures, beginning with an appearance on [[Meet the Press]] in late 1993. He was in favor of the 1993 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. In 1995, Giuliani called member's of the [[National Rifle Association]] "extremists." And that anti-gun control positions of many Republicans are "terrible for America."

Although Rudy Giuliani does not support same-sex marriage, he does support "domestic partnerships" that provide stability for Americans who are in non-traditional relationships.

Giuliani is known as a staunch conservative on national security. He has supported [[President]] [[George W. Bush]]'s tactic of using domestic surveillance and strongly supports completing the mission in [[Iraq]] and hunting for [[terrorists]] and insurgents. Giuliani was described by [[Newsweek]] magazine in January 2007 as "one of the most consistent cheerleaders for the president’s handling of the war in Iraq."

On economic policy, conservative economist [[George Will]] said of Rudy Giuliani's two terms as mayor, "the most successful episode of conservative governance of the last 50 years.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjS-MVp-j9k</ref> He has received praise from fiscal conservatives for his advocacy of lower taxes and less government bureaucracy.

In February 2015, Giuliani gave comments which criticized [[Barack Hussein Obama]]'s policies and declared Obama "doesn't love America".

== Early life and career ==
Rudolph W. Giuliani was born to a working class Italian-American family in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]]. As the grandson of immigrants, Giuliani developed a strong work ethic and a deep respect for America's ideal of equal opportunity. He attended [[Catholic]] parochial schools including Brooklyn's Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School (Class of '61). He graduated from Manhattan College (Class of '65) and New York University Law School, magna cum laude in 1968.<ref>"A Biography Of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani" The City of New York Office of the Mayor [http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/bio.html]</ref>

After law school Giuliani clerked for Judge Lloyd MacMahon, United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York. In 1970, he joined the office of the U.S. Attorney. At age 29, he was named Chief of the Narcotics Unit and rose to serve as executive U.S. Attorney. In 1975, Giuliani was recruited by the [[Gerald R. Ford]] administration and became Associate Deputy Attorney General and chief of staff to the Deputy Attorney General. From 1977 to 1981 he practiced law at Patterson, Belknap, Webb and Tyler in New York City.<ref>"A Biography Of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani" The City of New York Office of the Mayor [http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/bio.html]</ref>

The Reagan Administration brought Giuliani to Washington in 1981 as Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the [[U.S. Department of Justice]]. He supervised all of the US Attorney Offices' Federal law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the US Marshals. In 1983, Reagan appointed Giuliani to be US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He gained national prominence over successfully prosecuting high-profile cases.

He frequently used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to bring down organized criminals. From 1985-1986 Giuliani indicted eleven organized crime figures under the RICO act that also included charges of extortion, labor racketeering, and murder for hire. Time Magazine called this "Case of Cases" possibly "the most significant assault on the infrastructure of organized crime since the high command of the [[Chicago]] Mafia was swept away in 1943." <ref>http://www.quickoverview.com/election2008/rudy-giuliani-overview.html</ref>

[[Wall Street]] arbitrageur [[Ivan Boesky]] earned an estimated $200 million by betting on corporate takeovers. He was violating [[insider trading]] laws by making investments based on tips received from corporate insiders. Giuliani prosecuted Boesky and was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison and fined $100 million. The case was all the more significant, in that insider trading laws were rarely enforced at the time. Boesky informed several of his insiders, including junk bond trader Michael Milken. In 1989 Giuliani charged Milken under the RICO act with 98 counts of racketeering and fraud. He paid a total of $900 million in fines and settlements.

After six years as serving as a prosecutor Giuliani's record stood at 4,125 convictions with only 25 reversals.<ref>"A Biography Of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani" The City of New York Office of the Mayor [http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/bio.html]</ref>

== Personal life ==
Giuliani has been married and divorced three times. First to his second cousin [[Regina Peruggi]], on October 26, 1968. In 1976 the couple split. They did not have any children. His second marriage was to [[Donna Hanover]]. Giuliani filed for legal separation from Peruggi on August 12, 1982. Giuliani and Hanover started living together later that year in Washington, D.C. A [[Roman Catholic]] Church annulment of the Giuliani-Peruggi marriage was granted at the end of 1983<ref>http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0212072giuliani12.html</ref> because, according to Giuliani, they did not have the necessary Church dispensation.

Giuliani and Hanover then married on April 15, 1984. They had two children, Andrew and Caroline. In May 2000, Giuliani admitted to an extramarital relationship with Judith Nathan and called a press conference to reveal he intended to separate from Hanover. Hanover did not know that Giuliani intended to make such an announcement and was reportedly caught somewhat by surprise <ref>http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E04E7D8163BF932A25756C0A9669C8B63&sec=health&spon=&pagewanted=2</ref>
Giuliani then married Judith Nathan in 2003, his third marriage. In April 2018, Judith filed for a contested divorce, which could mean a disagreement over dividing the assets.

'''Christopher Charles Cuomo''' is a television anchor who works at [[CNN]]. He is a son of [[Mario Cuomo]], the former Governor of [[New York]] and the brother of [[Andrew Cuomo]], the current Governor of New York. Cuomo called [[hope]] of surviving the [[CCP global pandemic]] "bulls***".<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/04/08/cnns-cuomo-deceptively-edits-then-accuses-trump-of-feeding-americans-bullst-by-offering-hope-906353</ref> Cuomo has consistently supported and encouraged violent [[leftist]] extremism, particularly that of the [[revolution]]ary [[Marxist]] Antifa and [[Black Lives Matter organization]]s.

Cuomo, who's often regarded as a moronic [[liberal]], ridiculously blamed [[President Trump]] for [[Nancy Pelosi]]'s actions in [[Salongate]].<ref>Multiple references:

I love blue:

'''Bold text'''[[File:Don Lemon.png|right|200px|thumb|Don Lemon]]
'''Donald Carlton Lemon''' is a [[leftwing]] [[conspiracy theorist]] and [[CNN]] anchor noted for his on-air [[hate speech]] and [[racism]].<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/amp/cnn-kanye-west-is-a-mentally-ill-token-negro-227947/</ref> Upon hearing the news that [[President Trump]] was constitutionally mandated to nominate a replacement following the death of [[Supreme Court]] Justice [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], Lemon used his CNN platform to encourage [[Democrat]] [[riot]]ers, who were already [[terrorism|terrorizing]] the streets of America, to "blow up the entire system."<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/09/22/don-lemons-call-to-blow-up-system-of-government-even-makes-cnn-colleague-chris-cuomo-uncomfortable-975680</ref>

Lemon, a self-identified [[homosexual]], has repeatedly made racially disparaging comments about men, both [[African American]] and white,<ref>http://blacknewszone.com/2018/10/13/fire-don-lemon-for-racist-kanye-criticism/</ref> the majority of which are [[heterosexual]].<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/media/414109-foxs-jarrett-rips-cnns-lemon-as-racist-hypocrite-and-idiot-all-rolled-into-one</ref> According to Lemon, traditional marriage is “not what God is about.”<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/03/16/don-lemon-traditional-marriage-is-not-what-god-is-about-n1432844</ref> Lemon famously flunked a cognitive abilities test on live television unable to distinguish between an elephant and a rhino.<ref>https://video.foxnews.com/v/6174545465001#sp=show-clips</ref> Lemon denied the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexican border.

==Sexual assault allegations==
In July 2018 at Murf's Backstreet Tavern in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons Dustin Hice offered to buy Don lemon a vodka drink called a "Lemon Drop" but Lemon declined.<ref>https://www.mediaite.com/tv/man-sues-cnns-don-lemon-for-alleged-assault-at-sag-harbor-bar/</ref> Hice's complaint alleges that Lemon,
{{quotebox|purports to be an staunch advocate for the [[MeToo movement|“Me Too” movement]], a social movement meant to bring awareness and give a voice to victims of [[sexual assault]] and sexual harassment. When the cameras are turned off, however, Mr. Lemon’s actions are in stark and disturbing contrast to the public persona he attempts to convey.}}

Hice alleged that Lemon approached him later that night,
{{quotebox|(Lemon) put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers into (Hice's) mustache and under (Hice's) nose. Mr. Lemon intensely pushed his fingers against Plaintiff’s face under Plaintiff’s nose, forcing Plaintiff’s head to thrust backwardasDefendant repeatedly asked Plaintiff “Do you like p**** or d***?”. While saying this, Mr. Lemon continued to shove his fingers into Plaintiff’s face with aggression and hostility.<ref>https://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dustin-Hice-v.-Don-Lemon-Verified-Complaint-8-11-2019.pdf</ref>}}

==2020 presidential election==
:{{See also|2020 presidential election|2020 Marxist insurrection}}
Marquette Law School in Wisconsin conducted a poll just days prior to the [[Kenosha]] riots. In June 2020 the same poll saw strong support for the [[BLM]] protests, with a 61%-34% approval over disapproval rate. By August just before the Kenosha riots that support fell to parity at 48%-48%.<ref>https://rpubs.com/PollsAndVotes/652966</ref> Those results turned heads at [[DNC]] and Biden headquarters. Just as Democrats and the mainstream [[fake news]] media they learned of this loss of support as a result of leftist riots, the Kenosha riot broke out at nearly the same moment. At the [[RNC convention]] the [[Marxist]] [[elitism|elite]] witnessed [[Republican]] messaging that called for support of police and the call to bring law and order back to the cities. Biden, Democrats, the [[liberal media]] went into panic mode.

All of a sudden the permissiveness and encouragement to rioters was taken down. [[CNN]] and Don Lemon called for a change in [[tactic]]s. The cheerleaders suddenly began waving for the crowds to disperse, and pleading with [[Kamala Harris]] and [[Joe Biden]] to adopt the very opposite language that has been labeled as "[[racist]]" all summer long. For months anyone calling to curtail violence, destruction, attacks on police, and the threats to communities were deemed [[intolerant]]. Only now, when it looked like a bad prospect for the [[Democrat]]s, did the sophisticates in the [[mainstream media]] consider rioting to be condemnable. When it was politically expedient the burning of cities and violence visited on [[citizen]]s was an acceptable result.<ref>https://www.redstate.com/bradslager/2020/08/29/908598/</ref>
