'''Mass murder''' is the killing of very large numbers of people.

==More specific terms for mass murder==

The twentieth century has seen some of the greatest examples of mass murder, tragically. Instead of simply speaking of "mass murder", the word "[[genocide]]" is often used to refer to these incidents, especially in the case of killing all those of a particular ethnic group by their own government (see also [[democide]], or ethnocide if the grouping is based on religion). According to Black's Law Dictionary, the term was popularized by the 1948 "Genocide Convention" of the United Nations, to deal with the special problems posed by the Holocaust, and international wishes to prevent a recurrence of the same.

[[Dinesh D'Souza]] wrote:

:It is strange to witness the passion with which some secular figures rail against the misdeeds of the [[Crusader]]s and [[Inquisitor]]s more than 500 years ago. The number sentenced to death by the [[Spanish Inquisition]] appears to be about 10,000. Some historians contend that an additional 100,000 died in jail due to malnutrition or illness.

:These figures are tragic, and of course population levels were much lower at the time. But even so, they are minuscule compared with the death tolls produced by the [[atheist]] despotisms of the 20th century. In the name of creating their version of a religion-free utopia, [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Joseph Stalin]], and [[Mao Zedong]] produced the kind of mass slaughter that no [[Inquisitor]] could possibly match. Collectively these atheist [[tyrant]]s murdered more than 100 million people.<ref>Christian Science Monitor: [https://www.csmonitor.com/2006/1121/p09s01-coop.html Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history]</ref>

==Socialism and mass murder==
Socialist eschatology and apocryphal rhetoric have often motivated young people to commit desperate and even suicidal acts. [[Climate change]] gloom-and-doom has motivated some socialists to commit irrational acts. Anti-corporate finger-pointing has at times created [[lawlessness]] and supposed 'justification' for violence. Desperate rhetoric about student loan debt and underemployment can create [[hope]]lessness and have a devastating effect on immature minds as in the case of the [[El Paso Walmart shooting|El Paso Walmart shooter]].<ref>The shooter wrote, "The cost of college degrees has exploded as their value has plummeted. This has led to a generation of indebted, overqualified students filling menial, low-paying, and unfulfilling jobs. Of course these migrants and their children have contributed to the problem, but are not the sole cause of it." https://www.paypervids.com/alleged-el-paso-texas-walmart-shooter-manifesto/</ref>

[[Communist]] regimes killed 60 million in the 20th century through [[genocide]], according to [[Le Monde]], more than 100 million people<ref>[[China]]: 65 million deaths; [[USSR]]: 20 million deaths; [[North Korea]]: 2 million deaths; [[Cambodia]]: 2 million deaths; [[Africa]]: 1.7 million deaths; [[Afghanistan]]: 1.5 million deaths; [[Vietnam]]: 1 million deaths; [[Eastern Europe]]: 1 million deaths; [[Latin America]]: 150,000 deaths; [[Communist]] movements or parties not in power: about 10,000 deaths. "Nearly 100 million deaths. Not casualties of war, but civilian slaughter. Deaths in [[gulag]]s and [[concentration camp]]s. Deaths from a bullet to the head. Most of all, deaths by [[starvation]] - the result either of planned [[famine]]s, meted out as punishment to internal foes (as in [[Stalin]]'s USSR), or unintended consequences of [[central planning|policy]]."

[[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] Gregory Koukl wrote that "the assertion is that religion has caused most of the killing and bloodshed in the world.
There are people who make accusations and assertions that are empirically false. This is one of them."<ref name="Koukl">Koukl, Gregory, [http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5527 The Real Murderers: Atheism or Christianity?], 1994</ref>

[[File:Time fake news Denisova.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Ukraine Human Rights Ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova, in an unprecedented move, was actually fired for manufacturing fake news reports about alleged Russian [[rape]]s and bringing disrepute on the Ukrainian regime.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 June 2022 |title='This will not help us defeat the enemy' A new report looks at Ukrainian Ombudsman Lyudmyla Denisova, who was fired after officials couldn't confirm her stories of rape committed by Russian soldiers |url=https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/06/28/we-work-on-the-information-front |access-date= |website=Meduza |language=en}}</ref>]]
'''Fake news''' refers to bias in the media that is so misleading that it is actually false. It can also include assertions of a non-political nature that seem believable but are untrue. It often incorporates the use of questionable or unnamed (and most often, non-existent) "anonymous sources" that present one or more of the following characteristics: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, or a complete lack of transparency.<ref name="mediabiasfactcheck.com">Questionable Sources, https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fake-news/</ref> In [[Russia]], fake news is commonly referred to as "[[Potemkin village|Potemkinism]]".<ref>https://thealtworld.com/andrew_korybko/why-do-false-perceptions-about-russian-policy-towards-israel-continue-to-proliferate</ref>

The motive of fake news is to manipulate public opinion using false reporting and [[bias]] for profit or influence.<ref name="mediabiasfactcheck.com"/> It can be sourced by anonymous government [[leak]]ers or political operatives, or entirely fictional. The motive can be as simple as [[confirmation bias]] – pandering to an ideological viewership to distribute talking points or maintain ratings.

[[Hollywood]] fake news is in the form of "docudramas" that mix factual content with falsehoods such that viewers are misled into thinking that the falsehoods are true, as in the upcoming [[Mrs. America]] miniseries. [[mainstream media|Mainstream]] fake news has [[liberal bias]] that goes beyond reporting of facts and commentary; it can take the form of headlining a manufactured crisis to obscure real news in the daily news cycle. [[Clickbait]], a sensational headline with a body of reporting based on half-truths designed to lure a reader into a commercial website, is another form of fake news.

Examples of major mainstream fake news stories in the recent past are:
*Russia attacked [[Poland]], a [[NATO]] ally.
*Russia blew up the [[NordStream]] pipeline.
*There are no Nazis in the Ukrainian government or armed forces.
*The targeted extermination of ethnic [[Russian]]s and Russian-speakers by the [[Ukrainian]] government in the [[Donbas]] between 2014 and 2022 is not [[ethnic cleansing]].<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/01/17/ethnic-cleansing-in-donbass-kiev-prepares-republics-for-croatian-storm/</ref>
*That the [[Waukesha Christmas parade massacre]] was a "crash" or "accident" rather than a racially motivated domestic terror attack by a black nationalist and [[BLM]] supporter.<ref>https://twitter.com/DrewHLive/status/1463529916717096965</ref>
*The [[Hunter Biden]] laptop is Russian disinformation.
*That there was no election fraud in Arizona in 2020 or 2022.
*That use of [[ivermectin]] as early treatment against [[COVID-19]], which is often successful, was causing an overflow of emergency rooms at hospitals by patients harmed by the formulations for horses - not true at all.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/gunshot-victims-horse-dewormer-ivermectin-oklahoma-hospitals-covid-1220608/</ref>
*That a [[Trump]] supporter supposedly bludgeoned a [[United States Capitol Building|Capitol]] police officer to death with a fire extinguisher, on Jan. 6, 2021, which the ''[[New York Times]]'' did not retract until weeks after its publication.

Political fake news is designed to push an agenda, typically the [[liberal]] one. Non-political clickbait is designed to attract internet traffic, attention, or sales. Clickbait websites often lack known publishers, hindering lawsuits against them for [[libel]] or [[slander]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/05/opinions/suing-fake-news-not-so-fast-callan/index.html|title=Sue over fake news?

:{{see also|Biden/Harris propaganda apparatus}}
Biden junta chief propagandist Jen Psaki outlined the regime's [[disinformation]] strategy. Psaki said [[Twitter]] is not a platform to disseminate news; rather, it is a vehicle for talking to reporters. According to ''[[Politico]]'',<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/05/06/whitehouses-favorite-reporters-492757</ref> there are 90 staffers who have new administration-branded Twitter accounts, most with “46” included in the handle. The reporters who are followed by staffers draw heavily from [[CNN]], [[Bloomberg]], and the [[Associated Press]]. Bloomberg News’ Jennifer Epstein is followed by more Biden administration staffers (39) than any other reporter. Next after Epstein are CNN’s Kaitlan Collins (37), PBS’ [[Yamiche Alcindor]] (36), AP’s Zeke Miller (34), and Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs (33). The news outlets with the most White House staffers following them are: @nytimes, @cnn, @washingtonpost, @cnnpolitics and @cnnbrk.

White House staffers don’t follow many [[conservative]] outlets or reporters who work for them. Not even the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' makes the list of the top 15 news outlets they follow. Only 10 staffers follow [[Fox News]]’ Peter Doocy, and 2 follow Fox News colleague Kristen Fisher.

[[Symone Sanders]], who was demoted by Biden to be [[Kamala Harris]]’ chief spokesperson because she is [[Black]], is the most popular. Outside of Biden, Harris, and their spouses, Symone Sanders has more internal followers than anyone except Psaki and [[Ron Klain]]. With 62 of the 94 accounts following her, she ranks higher than communications director Kate Bedingfield, deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon, every Cabinet member, and even @WHCOVIDResponse.

[[Nancy Pelosi]] (29 followers) is the most followed lawmaker among staffers, followed by [[Chuck Schumer|Cuck Schumer]] (23 followers). The next three all hail from the party’s [[progressive]] wing: Rep. [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]] (D-N.Y.) and Sens. [[Elizabeth Warren]] (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (DSA-Vt.).
[[File:CNN - Biden Townhall.jpg|left|350px|thumb|CNN nationally televised townhall on [[vaccination]]s with Joe Biden.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/21/joe-biden-arranges-words-into-odd-cringe-worthy-sequence-during-heavily-structured-cnn-townhall-event-the-picture-is-priceless/</ref>]]
Thirty-three staffers follow [[Barack Obama]]. And other [[Obama administration]] alumni who haven’t returned to the government are popular, too: former communications director and Clinton propagandist [[Jen Palmieri]] (17), [[Michelle Obama]] (15 followers), former deputy press secretary Eric Schultz (14 followers), [[David Axelrod]] (10 followers) and all four “Pod Save America” bros.

Naomi Biden, the most prominent of the first grandchildren (at least on Twitter), is followed by 10 White House brown nosers, narrowly edging out Kamala Harris' niece [[Meena Harris]] with eight. Meena, however, got the crucial @WHCOS follow from chief-of-staff Ron Klain while Naomi did not.

A website that tracks the YouTube page of the Biden White House confirmed that YouTube suppressed the dislikes on every single one of Joe Biden's White House videos.. YouTube suppressed dislikes of Biden by as much as 600% on some videos.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/06/amazing-new-website-confirms-youtube-suppressing-dislikes-joe-biden-videos-much-600/</ref>

According to ''[[Politico]]'',<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/06/28/the-white-houses-centrists-strike-back-493400</ref> White House and [[Health and Human Services]] officials were frustrated after being left with the task of cleaning up remarks about the Mexican border by [[Symone Sanders]], senior spokesperson for Harris. Sanders told reporters that Biden and Harris “have instructed [[Xavier Becerra|[HHS Secretary Xavier] Becerra]] to do a thorough investigation” of the El Paso army base where migrant children are locked in cages. But Psaki and others had to tell ''[[The Guardian]]'' that no such investigation exists. “At no time did The White House recommend a probe of the facility,” a [[White House]] spokesman told ''The Guardian''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/25/kamala-harris-us-mexico-border-visit-migration</ref> [[CBS News]] also reported that a White House official said that Biden did not order a formal investigation.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-orders-probe-into-fort-bliss-base-holding-migrant-children/</ref>

==Russia-Ukraine war==
{{See also|Russia-Ukraine war}}
In their drive to stoke hostilities between [[the West]] and Russia, corporate media ignored the fact that the U.S. and NATO forces have been openly supporting Neo-Nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine for many years. A MintPress study of the op-ed pages of ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Wall Street Journal'' found that only one of 91 articles published in January 2022 mentioned this connection at all, with far more asserting that Vladimir Putin himself is Hitler incarnate. Around 90% of opinion columns pushed a “get tough on Russia” message, with anti-war voices few and far between.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/279612-2/279612/</ref> “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” [[Ivan Katchanovski]], Professor of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, told MintPress, adding:

{{quotebox-float|"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in [[Donbas]] even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention.

Conducting a civilian training operation in the middle of the Donbas city of Mariupol while a crowd of Western journalists looked on, Azov units showed locals how to use rifles. The image of a silver-haired, 79-year-old “babushka” staring down the sights of an [[AK-47]] went viral around the world, allowing the media to construct an “everyone in brave Ukraine is doing their part to oppose an imminent Russian invasion” [[narrative]]. The story was covered by a host of outlets, including [[ABC News]], [[MSNBC]], [[Newsweek]], the [[BBC]], ''[[The Guardian]]'' and The Financial Times, as well as by media in [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[Israel]], [[Denmark]], [[Thailand]] and [[Indonesia]]. Images from the training day featured on the front cover of six national British newspapers on February 14, 2022.

This was all despite the fact that the Wolfsangel insignia of the many Azov soldiers instructing the grandmother is clearly visible in a number of the images. The Wolfsangel was the crest of the infamous [[SS]] brigades, [[Hitler]]’s elite paramilitary units that carried out the extermination of millions of people (including countless Ukrainians) in Nazi death camps across Europe. The image is widely used by Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. and is considered a hate symbol by the [[Anti-Defamation League]]. Azov’s original commander, politician Andriy Biletsky, has stated that he sees Ukraine’s mission as to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against [[Semite]]-led subhumans.” None of the outlets mentioned above the fact that they were profiling Neo-Nazis.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-reveal-us-ned-spent-22m-promoting-anti-russia-narrative-ukraine/279734/</ref>

The [[liberal media]] reported that Russia -- which [[Leftists]] despise because it opposes the [[homosexual agenda]] and is [[pro-life]], and [[neoconservatives]] despise because it opposes their pet projects in the [[Middle East]] and [[Central Asia]] -- would attack Ukraine on February 16, 2022, which did not happen.<ref>https://www.voanews.com/a/on-day-russia-was-meant-to-invade-ukrainians-go-about-their-affairs/6443905.html</ref>

Many of these fake news stories cited below came from the mouth of Volodymyr Zelensky.

===Propaganda war===
[[File:Guardian reports on Nazi defeat.PNG|right|300px|thumb|''[[The Guardian]]'' report on the defeat of [[Nazi]]s in [[Azovstal]].<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2022/may/17/evacuation-of-azovstal-plant-in-mariupol-in-pictures</ref>]]
According to Dan Cohen, the Washington DC correspondent for ''Behind The Headlines'', more than 150 public relations firms have joined the Maidan regime's propaganda blitz.<ref>https://www.prweek.com/article/1748159/global-pr-community-rallies-help-ukraine-government-comms</ref> Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned praise from a [[NATO]] commander who told the ''Washington Post'', “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also [[psy-ops]].”<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/16/ukraine-zelensky-information-war/</ref> The head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs digital ecosystem for global communication<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/turb.png</ref> distributed a dossier folder with materials instructing public relations agencies on “key messages,”<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/turb1.png</ref> content for debunked propaganda constructs, approved language, and [[Neo-Nazi]] propaganda.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220305150557/https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QE65-hyob6BzyFwYheQXLZjjlxnNsrrs</ref> Many elements within the dossier folder use [[xenophobic]] and [[racist]] language, and some are explicit in their praise of prominent Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, including C14 leader Yevhen Karas who boasted that “we have fun killing”, the [[Pravy Sektor]] [[fascist]] paramilitary, and the Neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]]. Multiple images call for “[[Banderist|Banderite smoothies]]” – a reference to [[Molotov cocktail]]s named for the late [[OUN-B]] commander [[Stephan Bandera]], who collaborated with [[Nazi Germany]] in the [[mass murder]] of [[Jews]] and ethnic [[Polish|Poles]] during [[World War II]]. Another image depicts a book titled the: ''Encyclopedia of Incurable Diseases,'' listing Russia, [[Belorussia]], [[North Korea]], [[Syria]], and [[Eritrea]].<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/@juliasmal_Book-scaled.jpg</ref>

“Such Russian clichés like ‘referendum in Crimea’ or ‘will of the people of Crimea’ are absolutely unacceptable,” the dossier states, in reference to the 2014 overwhelmingly successful [[Crimean Annexation]] referendum. The dossier deems unacceptable the terms “Civil war in Donbass,” “Internal conflict,” “Conflict in Ukraine” and “Ukrainian crisis” to describe the Ukrainian military’s war with the breakaway republics of the Donbass region. In place of these phrases, the dossier calls for the use of the terms “Armed aggression by the Russian Federation in Donbass, international armed conflict, Russian war against Ukraine, Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict.”

===Ukraine missile attack on Poland===
[[File:FT Zelensky.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The globalist mouthpiece ''Financial Times'' of London, which led the world in spreading Russophobia and cheerleading for war, openly criticized Zelensky's lying about Ukraine's false flag attack on a NATO ally to incite direct NATO involvement with troops and risk global thermonuclear war.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-open-thread-2022-201.html</ref>]]
On November 15, 2022, two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian cruise missile, were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians. The [[Polish]] government, the Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',<ref>https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80</ref> most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5.<ref>https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360</ref> Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia. Ukrainian foreign minister [[Dmytro Kuleba]] claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages."<ref>https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg</ref> Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant [[escalation]]” of the conflict.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html</ref>

However, an AWAC radar plane and other ISR aircraft (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) aircraft regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the [[Kyiv regime]] had launched the missiles. That did not prevent an anonymous "senior U.S. intelligence official" from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland. The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its [[CIA]] counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.

CNN broadcast a statement from [[Ukrainian Nazi]] propagandist Mykhailo Podolyak, “Russia has turned the eastern part of the European continent into an unpredictable battlefield. Intent, means of execution, risks, escalation – it is all coming from Russia alone. And there can be no other explanation for any missile incident here."<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/europe/poland-missile-russia-ukraine-investigation-wednesday-intl-hnk</ref>

When called out on the [[lie]]s, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down.

===Bombing Babi Yar===

On March 1, 2022, Zelensky claimed that Russians had bombed Babi Yar, a ravine in Kyiv that was also the site of massacres committed by Nazi forces and Ukrainian collaborators during [[World War II]].<ref>https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1498697538085568514</ref> Some 33,771 [[Jewish]] civilians were murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators from Kyiv there. Zelensky’s chief of staff reportedly confirmed that the Russians bombed the site.<ref>https://twitter.com/LahavHarkov/status/1498686224462188549</ref> Zelensky's tweet has more than 300,000 likes and over 75,000 retweets.

On March 2, Israeli journalist Ron Ben Yisha reported after touring the site that the memorial had not been destroyed or damaged, as Zelensky and his officials claimed. Translated from the Israeli news website ynet:
[[File:Zelensky fake news.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Ukrainian defense plans called for the heavy use of fake news to win the hearts and minds of Western audiences.<ref>https://contra.substack.com/p/world-war-reddit?s=r</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"The memorial site in Babi Yar was neither destroyed nor damaged. After touring all over the large site I can report with certainty that no monument was damaged and no bomb, missile or shell hit the grounds. The closest impact to Babi Yar was in the Kiev media and television tower complex, about 300 meters from the new monument, and about a kilometer from the old monument </ref>to the victims of the WWII massacre."<ref>https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/sky0frhg5</ref>}}
Zelensky and his officials lied to the world. Worse, their lie suggested that all those who chose inaction were essentially collaborators in the next [[holocaust]].

===Zelensky in combat===
While Volodymyr Zelensky was reportedly still in Ukraine, the viral pictures of him in combat fatigues supposedly commanding troops on the front line were all old photographs of border inspections more than a year old.

===Ghost of Kyiv===

A video of a Ukrainian fighter pilot dubbed the “Ghost of Kiev/Kyiv” showed a jet supposedly shooting down multiple Russian fighter jets, causing several casualties. Social media users were quick to champion the pilot as a “hero” despite the video actually tracing its origins to a video game. The video was created with the 2008 game “Digital Combat Simulator” and was first shared via YouTube, where the original poster acknowledged the footage was from a simulator.<ref>https://gamerant.com/ghost-of-kyiv-ukraine-video-fake-digital-combat-simulator/</ref> ''The New York Times'' tweeted: "Viral stories like the Ghost of Kyiv — a Ukrainian pilot who supposedly single-handedly shot down several Russian fighter jets — are of questionable veracity. But they're a key part of Ukraine's war plan, experts say, as it tries to keep morale high."<ref>https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1499516258781437953</ref>

=== Snake Island Martyrs===
Thirteen Ukrainian border guards stationed on the country’s Snake Island, located in the [[Black Sea]], were quickly alleged to have been killed by Russian forces at the onset of Russia’s invasion. Audio recordings of what was allegedly their final moment went viral on [[social media]], with a Russian warship demanding: “I ask you to lay down your arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary deaths. Otherwise, you will be bombed.”

“Russian warship,” came the reply, “go f**k yourself.”

The 13 Ukrainians, the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky said, died “heroically.” He later promised to recognize each soldier with the title of Hero of Ukraine. Days later, however, the Ukrainian Navy revealed that the guards had actually been “taken captive by Russian occupiers” and were all still alive. After running the story as fact, even [[CNN]] was forced to add the following update: “The Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island were all feared to have been killed in the Russian attack on February 24. On February 28, however, the Ukrainian Navy released a statement saying the troops were ‘alive and well,’ but were forced to surrender ‘due to the lack of ammunition.’” Evidence of their survival had emerged before February 28. Footage appeared to show Snake Island soldiers receiving water and rations from their captors.<ref>https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1497467132950548486</ref>

===Nuclear power plant attacked===
Reports of a nuclear power plant being attacked by Russia were fake news designed to convince NATO to set up a No-fly Zone. Western nuclear experts condemned the Kyiv regime for causing panic and misleading people.<ref>https://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1499565665652461573</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1499573995657646106</ref> A training center over a mile away from the 6 nuclear reactors were on fire,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekWRes-pAD4&t=442s</ref> and the powerplant administration confirmed there was no radiation risk. Zelensky and the Kyiv regime essentially lied about an imminent meltdown at the nuclear power plant.

===PBS blurs image of Hitler accomplice behind Ukrainian mayor===
[[File:PBS Bandera.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[PBS]] blurred the image of Ukrainian nazi collaborator and hero Stepan Bandera in a broadcast interview with a Ukrainian mayor.]]
U.S. state media [[Public Broadcasting Service]] (PBS) published and promoted an interview with a renowned Neo-Nazi Ukrainian mayor, without disclosing the politician’s allegiances to World War II German leader Adolf Hitler and Ukraine’s own Nazi sympathizer Stepan Bandera. The interview comes just days after PBS published an article downplaying the links between Neo-Nazi politicians and Ukraine’s current political situation. PBS hosted Mayor Artem Semenikhin of Konotop, ''The National Pulse'' reported.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/03/04/pbs-hosts-neo-nazi-ukraine-mayor-blurs-image-of-hitler-accomplice-behind-him/</ref> In 2015 the ''Jerusalem Post'' reported: "Two months after local elections were held across Ukraine, residents of the small northern city of Konotop are expressing shock and dismay over the behavior of newly chosen Mayor Artem Semenikhin of the neo-Nazi [[Svoboda]] party. According to reports, Semenikhin drives around in a car bearing the number 14/88, a numerological reference to the phrases “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” and “Heil Hitler”; replaced the picture of President Petro Poroshenko in his office with a portrait of Ukrainian national leader and Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera; and refused to fly the city’s official flag at the opening meeting of the city council because he objected to the [[star of David]] emblazoned on it. The flag also features a [[Muslim]] crescent and a cross."<ref>https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/ukrainian-jews-shocked-after-city-elects-neo-nazi-mayor-437975</ref>

Ukrainian journalist Anastasiia Lapatina shared a video that she claimed showed Russians shooting at civilians.<ref>https://twitter.com/lapatina_/status/1500118411912916996</ref> But that didn't happen in the video, which Lapatina later admitted. Lapatina also writes for ''The New York Times''.<ref>https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1500305602928525313</ref>

===''New York Times'' reporter killed===
On March 14, 2022, news headlines in [[the West]] claimed that a ''[[New York Times]]'' journalist was killed in Ukraine. Brent Renaud was wearing a NY Times badge and lanyard at the time of his death. He had not worked for the ''Times'' since 2015. ''NYT'' denied that Brent Renaud was working for the ''NYT'' at the time of his death. According to ''[[Gateway Pundit]]'', it appears Renaud was some sort of Intel collector for the US. Renaud was killed in Ukrainian-held territory. ''The New York Times'' confirmed Renaud was killed at a Ukrainian checkpoint.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/update-american-reporter-brent-renaud-killed-ukrainian-checkpoint-behind-russian-front-likely-friendly-fire-incident/</ref>

===Drama theater bombing===
Ukrainian propaganda ministry reported, "On 16 March, the Russian forces dropped a bomb on a drama theatre where up to 1300 civilians were being sheltered. The number of casualties is still unknown.” However, as Max Blumenthal reported, the explosion appears to be the result of a [[false flag]] operation designed by the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and aimed at triggering a NATO intervention.<ref>https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/18/bombing-mariupol-theater-ukrainian-azov-nato-intervention/</ref>

===Mass rape===
Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament's Commissioner for Human Rights, was fired when no evidence could be found of her allegations of 400 instances of mass rape by Russian soldiers.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-05-31/card/ukraine-s-parliament-dismisses-human-rights-chief-1kQWT7i0GHXyeqh6spRe</ref> 238 Members of Parliament voted her out. Denisova was accused of failing to perform her duties and, in particular, of spreading fake news and propaganda about atrocities supposedly committed by Russian troops in Ukraine. Such actions only served to tarnish Ukraine’s image, MPs have argued. Other complaints were that Denisova had failed to organize humanitarian corridors and POW exchanges.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/rape-allegations-against-russian-troops-in-ukraine-were-fake.html#more</ref>

==Russiagate in a nutshell==

The scam that Donald Trump was using a secret server to communicate with a Russian bank was promoted by Hillary Clinton herself, and touted by media outlets led by ''[[Slate]]'' magazine. Like so much that comprised Russiagate, it was a total fraud concocted by the Democrat National Committee and its media allies.

[[Michael Sussmann]], a DNC-linked lawyer and partners with Clinton lawyer [[Marc Elias]], fabricated a Trump/Russia narrative, fed it to DNC operatives masquerading as journalists, had Hillary trumpet it, then lied to the FBI about who he worked for.

An FBI lawyer, [[Kevin Clinesmith]], pled guilty to lying to the [[FISA court]] in order to obtain warrants to spy on former Trump campaign official [[Carter Page]]. The real [[criminal]]s weren't people colluding with Russia but those who perpetrated the Russiagate fraud.

Sussmann helped ''New York Times'' national security reporter Charlie Savage promote his book. Savage not only was the one who spread the CIA lie about "Russian bounties" in Afghanistan, but also the fake news that the [[Biden regime]] killed a suicide bomber on his way to the Kabul airport with a drone strike when, in fact, it was a family of 10, including 7 children and a US aid worker.<ref>https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1438495680109162496</ref>

One of the journalists who most aggressively promoted the fake Trump/Alfa-Bank server story was Natasha Bertrand, who was at the center of so many Russiagate frauds including the ''[[Steele Dossier]]'' and got promoted over and over for it, as of 2021 working at CNN.

The corporate media was so heavily invested in the Trump/Russia conspiracy fraud, and hatred for Trump remained sufficiently high in 2021 that the gigantic fraud the media perpetrated on the country for 5 years remained unacknowledged. The journalists who committed the most fraud in Russiagate were the ones most rewarded. [[Glenn Greenwald]] summed it up: "It really is this simple: in the corporate media, the more you lie, the more you get promoted, as long as you lie for the right cause and the right people (the security state)."<ref>https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/09/16/russiagate-in-a-nutshell-glenn-greenwald-sums-up-the-latest-on-john-durhams-investigation-pulls-hillary-clintons-old-tweet-about-trumps-covert-server/</ref>

==Deep state and fake news==
{{See also|Media intelligence complex|Internews}}
In the synergy between the U.S. intelligence apparatus and their media agents, the CIA, DOJ and State Department have specific outlets assigned to public relations.

A long-tracked pattern reflects the DOJ and FBI leak of their PR needs to the ''New York Times''. The preferred outlet for the U.S. State Department is CNN; the ''Washington Post'' generally comes out first with leaks in defense of the CIA agenda. This pattern has been remarkably consistent for years.

The [[mainstream media]] worked with the deep state intelligence agencies to promote fake news regarding the supposed [[Trump-Russia scandal]],<ref>Jasper, William F. (April 25, 2017). [https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/25863-deep-state-and-fake-news Deep State and Fake News]. ''The New American''. Retrieved January 3, 2018.</ref> and the alleged Russian hacking of [[John Podesta]] and DNC emails.

Sometime before January 6, 2017, [[DNI]] [[James Clapper]] briefed opposition research talking points, manufactured by the Clinton campaign in the ''[[Steele dossier]]'', to [[Jake Tapper]] of CNN. The salacious innuendo lacked verification and a " news hook" for CNN to report. Clapper instructed [[FBI]] Director [[James Comey]] to brief President-elect Trump on the allegations. Clapper immediately leaked the fact Trump had been briefed, creating the "news hook" CNN was looking for to publicize the existence of the ''Steele dossier''. FBI counter-intelligence investigator [[Peter Strzok]] then used the fake news report to justify interviewing [[National Security Advisor]] [[Michael Flynn]] and lay a perjury trap,<ref>https://saraacarter.com/who-will-investigate-the-fbi-and-doj-top-secret-leaks-to-the-media/?utm=pushnami</ref> thwarting the new president's [[foreign policy]] agenda.

# Ask experts (to get confirmation from independent people with knowledge).

===Reputation of the author===
Ultimately, a judgment about fake news rests on the reputation of its author, and the reputation and editorial stance of a news organization or book publisher. Longevity is not in and of itself proof that a publication or publishing house is an established reputable service. ''[[Newsweek]]'' magazine, for instance, was once established as a "moderate" or right-leaning weekly news source to counter the perceived leftwing bias of ''[[Time magazine|Time]]'' magazine. It has since ceased publication as a print journal, and the name - ''Newsweek'' - was sold as an established, existing tradename, only to reappear online as a mainstream news source for some of the most outrageous left-wing lunacy.

In the United States the ''[[New Republic]]'', established before World War I, is considered the granddaddy of modern liberal thought, whereas the ''[[National Review]]'' established in the 1950s is considered its modern conservative counterpart. ''[[The Nation]]'' has long been deemed the voice of more marginalized [[progressive]] thinking. While staff management and editorial views have evolved over many decades, any author moving from one of these publications to another generally has a professional reputation as a traditional ethical journalist, unlike modern broadcast journalists, or what passes as "ethics" taught in some of the nation's most prestigious journalism and broadcast schools today.

Among book publishers, St. Martin's Press is considered a mainstream book publisher for [[Democrat]]s which no other mainstream publisher would stake its reputation on, and Regnery is considered its [[Republican]] counterpart.

The challenge for young readers is to discern good, solid, factual reporting in the internet era, at a time when an explosion of anonymous blog sites are threatening the existence of a dying print and cable news broadcast industry.<ref>A prime example of [[Joseph Schumpeter]]'s [[creative destruction]].</ref> Again the reputation of the author is all-pervasive. This requires follow-up and holding the author (whether anonymous or a pseudonym) accountable, and not seeking [[confirmation bias]] in how a reader informs themselves.

===Holding the author accountable===
As can be seen, the reputation of a news organization or individual journalist can change over time, to either improve or lose credibility.

''[[The New Yorker]]'' for example, once had a reputation for vigorous fact-checking. However, after such stories on the credibility of [[Wikipedia]], its fictionalized account of the death of [[bin Laden]], its hit piece on the person and character of ''American Sniper'' hero [[Chris Kyle]], and it's partisan, sloppy, and outrageous attacks on [[Brett Kavanaugh]], have called ''The New Yorker's'' viability as a reputable source into question.

Ronan Farrow, who writes for the ''New Yorker'' appeared as a bright and shining rising star in the field of investigative journalism, at a moment when public perception of journalists was at its lowest. Farrow fearlessly wrote about the deviant sexual predations of Democrat kingpins and mega-donors such as [[Harvey Weinstein]] and others, for which he won a [[Pulitzer Prize]]. Farrow even described the intimidation tactics wealthy predators use against female victims and himself by hiring thugs and ex-intelligence agents to silence people. Farrow was a hero of the [[MeToo movement]]. Then Farrow tossed his reputation to the wind by signing his name to unsubstantiated smears, which his own reporting debunked, in a vicious partisan smear of [[Judge Brett Kavanaugh]]. Farrow sold out, and his actions now have the opposite effect of adding credibility to the defense and rehabilitation of Harvey Weinstein.

===Circular reporting or wrap-up smear===
A '''wrap up smear''',<ref>https://youtu.be/SMJdDwQlcc8</ref> also known as a '''circular reporting''', '''circular journalism''' or an '''echo chamber''', occurs when [[partisan]] sources [[leak]] false information to journalists then use those same published accounts to validate their claims.

Several instances in recent memory illustrate the technique during the [[Trump-Russia collusion hoax]] and the [[Kavanaugh smear]]. In Trump-Russia, a false allegation that Trump colluded with Russia was [[leak]]ed by Democratic operatives to get news organizations to publicize the claim, then biased [[Obama administration]] employees used those news stories as supposed evidence to obtain FBI [[surveillance]] warrants on the Trump campaign.

CNN, the ''Washington Post'', the ''New York Times'' and numerous other organizations reported fabricated information from anonymous sources throughout 2016, 2017, and 2018. The published reports became the basis of the [[Trump-Russia conspiracy hoax]] and [[FISA abuse]] scandal. When mainstream media published the false information, the Obama FBI, Justice Department, CIA and [[DNI]] used the fake news (originating with themselves) as supposed corroboration from "independent journalists" to begin investigations, interviews, perjury traps, seek warrants, perform [[Gang of Eight]] briefings, and appoint a [[Mueller office|Special Prosecutor]] to pursue political objectives.
*[[Michael Sussmann]] who worked with the general counsel of the Clinton campaign and the DNC gave fake evidence to the FBI and ''New York Times'' that a webserver in Trump Tower was communicating with a Russian bank. The smears were found to be without foundation.<ref>https://themarketswork.com/2019/01/21/baker-testimony-reveals-perkins-coie-lawyer-provided-fbi-with-information-on-alfa-bank-allegations/</ref>
*[[Christopher Steele]] who worked for Hillary Clinton gave false evidence to the FBI and numerous mainstream media outlets that [[Carter Page]] was a Russian spy, when in fact Page was a former FBI informant who helped jail Russian spies.
*Steele gave bogus sexual innuendo about Trump to the FBI; [[DNI]] [[James Clapper]] leaked to CNN that Trump had been briefed on the information, thus creating a "Breaking News" story.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/20/anatomy-of-a-political-smear-confirmed-james-comey-january-briefing-was-scripted-by-clapper-and-brennan-to-create-media-narrative/</ref>

In the Kavanaugh smear, false sexual abuse allegations were leaked by Senate Democrat committee staffers to produce sensationalized headlines and martial public pressure in an emotional cause.

Sen. [[Dianne Feinstein]] or a staffer leaked a letter from Dr. [[Christine Blasey Ford]] to the ''Washington Post'' alleging notes from a therapist and a polygraph exam were material evidence of a sexual assault, sparking a hue and cry on the [[Left]] for extended nomination hearings and FBI investigation of [[Judge Kavanaugh]]. The alleged "material evidence" was never provided to the FBI or Senate Judiciary Committee for examination and consideration, and the accuser was caught in a series of conflicting sworn public statements.

===Clickbait===
The most common example of fake news is the "click bait" ads that appear on social media sites saying "Hollywood prepares to say good-bye to [name of celebrity]" implying that the celebrity has just died. People then click on the ad to visit a website to learn about the celebrity's death, which boosts the number of page views on that site. However, the fake news will trend if more people start re-tweeting or sharing the item without visiting the underlying website in the belief that the celebrity has just died.
[[File:98% of straight men will not date trans women because of hate.jpeg|thumb|right|225px|A typical fake news poll.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdQZkG2dOkE</ref>]]

===Mangled statistics===
A ''Washington Post'' article claimed that 4.2 percent of American children had witnessed a shooting<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/20/19-children-are-shot-every-day-in-the-united-states/ 19 kids are shot every day in the United States]</ref> (this is one in 24). This was based on a survey question that they (deliberately? negligently?) misinterpreted:
:The actual question the researchers asked was, "At any time in (your child’s/your) life, (was your child/were you) in any place in real life where (he/she/you) could see or hear people being shot, bombs going off, or street riots?"<ref>[https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/06/27/news-organizations-including-one-unintentionally-misinformed-public-guns How news organizations, including this one, unintentionally misinformed the public on guns]</ref>
So they mixed in "witnessed a shooting" with "heard a street riot", etc.

===8 identifiers===
Sam Garrens<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEUstbsTJYYGq_uhWj3RASA/videos</ref> uses 8 identifiers to analyze statements that can stand alone or be used in combination with each other. Garrens claims that once these methods are mastered, propaganda is forever easy to spot:
#Unrelated items
#Opinion leader or expert
#Missing context
#Obfuscation and simulation
#Gaslighting or assumed conclusions
#Shaming language and insults, using words that end in 'ist' and 'ite' augmented by 'gush' (or emotion) and outrage
#Lies and [[demonization]]
#Propaganda payload, the moral of the story

[[File:Fake news.jpeg|thumb|right|300px]]
While liberals frequently accuse conservative or alternate media sites of being dishonest, they typically gloss over the massive failings of the mainstream media to accurately and fairly cover the news, as well as its own propensity to post and report fake news itself (such as the polls they released which falsely claimed that [[Hillary Clinton]] was "well ahead" of Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election campaign to discourage conservative voters, despite the attendance figures of the Trump campaign rallies vs. the Clinton campaign rallies, which the mainstream media chose to ignore, proving otherwise). Although the polls may have correctly predicted Clinton's 3 million vote margin in the national popular vote, commenters ignored the fact that the election is determined state-by-state in the [[Electoral College]]. In fact, within days after Trump's victory in the election, Wikipedia's liberal editors propagated a far from neutral and heavily liberal-biased "Fake news website" article.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fake_news_website&oldid=752584598 "Fake news website" article] at Wikipedia, December 2, 2016.</ref>
===Liberal responses===
When the term first came into common usages immediately after the 2016 elections, [[liberals]], the [[mainstream media]], and [[social media]] misapplied the term to make the false accusation that [[Alternative Media|alternative news]] sources were "deliberately lying" to their readers, listeners, and viewers, and that these "lies" helped elect [[Donald Trump]] [[President of the United States]]. The liberal-pushed "fake news" accusations are a form of [[conspiracy theory]].

The [[mainstream media]] itself publishes and promotes fake news stories appearing in nightly network newscasts, on its cable news channels, in its newspapers and on its websites (including Facebook).<ref name="Tech Crunch">{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/14/facebook-fake-news-code-media/|title=Facebook is still figuring out how to tackle fake news|date=Feb 14, 2017|accessdate=|work=Tech Crunch}}</ref><ref name="Barron">{{cite news|url=http://ajr.org/2015/04/03/news-sites-fall-for-fake-news|title=Even News Sites Fall for Fake News|first=Rachel|last=Barron|date=April 3, 2017|accessdate=|work=American Journalism Review}}</ref>

The mainstream media itself can be rife with government-leaked fake news stories, such as a fictional ''Washington Post'' story that Russia hacked the U.S. power grid in 2016.<ref>Leetaru, Kalev, "[https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2017/01/01/fake-news-and-how-the-washington-post-rewrote-its-story-on-russian-hacking-of-the-power-grid/ 'Fake News' And How The Washington Post Rewrote Its Story On Russian Hacking Of The Power Grid]," ''Forbes'', Jan 1, 2017.</ref> While leftists accuse conservatives of being behind fake news stories, the evidence shows the exact opposite, although fake news is designed to appeal to audiences all across the political spectrum.

[[Melissa Zimdars]], a [[far-Left]] professor had compiled a list of supposedly "fake and misleading" news websites that was heavily promoted in the Mainstream Media,<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/11/breaking-media-list-fake-news-websites-includes-breitbart-infowars-zerohedge-twitchy-blaze/ BREAKING: Liberals Create List of "Fake" News Websites Including Breitbart, Infowars, Zerohedge, Twitchy, The Blaze]</ref> including [[Breitbart]], [[Infowars]], Twitchy, [[The Blaze]], and Bizpac Review.

====''WaPo''====
One attempt at broadening the meaning of the term as well as professing the likelihood of the use of what the term describes appeared on November 23, 2016, in the ''Washington Post'':{{cquote|In the wake of Donald Trump’s shock Nov. 2016 electoral victory, attention fell on the extent to which voter opinions could have been shaped by an epidemic of "fake news" websites that masqueraded as legitimate media outlets...Many fake stories proved more viral on social media than important articles from real sources.<ref name=Merkel>[https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/11/23/fake-news-threatens-german-election-merkel.html Fake news threatens German election: Merkel]</ref>}}

Ishaan Tharoor, the author who wrote the piece, lets the reader know that he assumes Trump's election win is so surprising (although it wasn't) that any explanation deserves to be looked at if the event has not been fully explained already. This would allow the subject that follows—his allegations of "fake news" being epidemic as well as his suggestions that they were isolated to media outlets that weren't "real sources" (by some unstated body's estimation)—to be plausible or even to be considered an especially good candidate as an explanation (to the uninformed), despite being unfounded or at least founded on exaggeration.

The election results prompted German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]], who represents a, [[establishment]]-[[globalist]] political party, to caution against "fake news" circulated in [[Social media]]:{{cquote|Something has changed — as globalization has marched on, debate is taking place in a completely new media environment. Opinions aren’t formed the way they were 25 years ago ... Today we have fake sites, bots, trolls — things that regenerate themselves, reinforcing opinions with certain algorithms, and we have to learn to deal with them. I believe we should not underestimate what is happening in the context of the Internet and with digitalization; this is part of our reality ... We have regulations that allow for our press freedom, including the requirement for due diligence from journalists. Today we have many who experience a media that is based on very different foundations and is much less regulated.<ref name=Merkel/>}}

====Facebook====
[[Facebook]] has also responded to the alleged problem by developing a system wherein readers can flag a post they find suspicious. Once flagged the post will be reviewed by a [[mainstream media]] representative, who decides whether the news is "real" or "fake."<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebooks-fake-fix-for-fake-news-1481932361</ref>

====Snopes====
On January 14, 2016, the [[Snopes]] website, itself considered a fake news site by some experts, published its "Snopes’ Field Guide to Fake News Sites and Hoax Purveyors"<ref name=snopes>{{cite web|title=Snopes’ Field Guide to Fake News Sites and Hoax Purveyors|date=January 14, 2016|url=http://www.snopes.com/2016/01/14/fake-news-sites/|accessdate=}}</ref> Its founder, for what brags to be the moral compass of what is "honest" reporting on the Internet, allegedly embezzled nearly $100,000 for prostitutes.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/09/exclusive-founder-of-snopes-far-left-moral-purveyor-of-truth-in-the-media-allegedly-embezzled-98000-for-prostitutes-during-his-divorce/</ref>

====SpotFakeNews.ca====
A recently created Canadian website called SpotFakeNews.ca<ref>http://spotfakenews.ca/</ref> claims to "help Canadians of all ages critically access online news and information, and differentiate fake news from real news", but the resources it links to link in turn to the [[Associated Press]] and other liberal-biased news "sources" and resources, thereby making that site itself a non-credible, liberal-biased resource.

====DoubtIt.ca====
Another Canadian website<ref>https://doubtit.ca/</ref> which claims "to provide Canadians an understanding of the role of journalism in a healthy democracy and the tools to find and filter information online";<ref>https://doubtit.ca/about-us/</ref> however, in its verification section,<ref>https://doubtit.ca/#verification_section</ref> the site uses the "fact checking" sites Snopes, FactCheck.org, the Associated Press website's "fact checking" section, Full Fact and [[PolitiFact]] as its resources, all of which are liberal-biased sites whose claims have been disproven and discredited as fake news when compared with similar stories from independent, non-liberal media journalists, news organizations (e.g. [[The Rebel Media|Rebel News]] and [[One America News Network]]) and news sites (e.g. [[Breitbart News]], [[NewsBusters]], [[The Daily Caller]], [[Gateway Pundit]], [[Canada Free Press]], etc.), thus also making DoubtIt.ca itself liberal-biased, unreliable and non-credible regarding what it decides is "fake news". Another giveaway that DoubtIt.ca is not credible as a resource is that at the bottom of its website, it mentions that it is funded by a liberal-biased search engine [[Google]].

====DFRLab definition====
The [[Atlantic Council]]'s Digital Forensic Research Lab which is partnering with [[Facebook]] to promote [[internet]] [[censorship]] defines fake news as {{quotebox|“deliberately presenting false information as news.”

We differentiate this from '''[[disinformation]]''', which we consider to be "deliberately spreading false information;" fake news is thus a subset of disinformation.

==History==
[[File:NY Daily News.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Liberal, socialist, and communist slanted journalism has a long history of biased and false reporting.]]
"News articles" that are completely fictional have a long history. The motivation is often for the amusement of the author, or the desire to make money by selling the newspaper or handbill based on its entertainment value. Such "news articles" are sometimes purely satirical (something that has a long history), or intentionally malicious, often for political reasons. For example, malicious claims about Presidential candidates (illegitimate children, etc.) have a long history in the United States. The falsehoods have sufficient emotional impact to assure that they will be magnified in various [[Media|mediums]]. It is debated whether or not this includes [[Satire|satiric]] news.<ref>"Tall Tale or Satire? Authors of So-Called "Fake News" Feel Misjudged". ''NBC News''. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tall-tale-or-satire-authors-so-called-fake-news-feel-n689421</ref><ref>''Fake News Watch''. http://fakenewswatch.com/</ref>

[[Walter Lippmann]], a prominent [[socialist]], indicated that the press is supposed to utilize fake news to spin a narrative and thus manufacture public consent, claiming that news and truth are not the same thing, that it requires no real training to deal with the small pool, and that everything else is in the journalist's own discretion, which includes even promoting stereotypes.<ref>http://progressingamerica.blogspot.com/2012/02/journalism-and-manufacturing-of-consent.html</ref><ref>http://progressingamerica.blogspot.com/2013/03/walter-lippmann-explains-how.html</ref><ref>http://progressingamerica.blogspot.com/2017/01/who-is-founding-father-of-fake-news.html</ref>

The explosive growth of the internet in the early years of the 21st century and the political divisiveness of the 2016 Presidential election saw explosive growth in fake news, far beyond supermarket tabloids, and the use of the term "fake news" to describe this.

===Tabloids, hoaxes, etc===
In the more recent past, but before the advent of the widespread propagation of false information through the internet, the most visible instances of "fake news" were the "supermarket tabloids" ("rag mags") that could be found at checkout counters of supermarkets. These were often full of blatant nonsense, and (nearly) everyone knew that, and bought them only for their entertainment value. Perhaps the most blatant of these was ''Weekly World News'', which seemed obsessed with some half-human, half-bat creature named "bat boy," and with extraterrestrials. They sometimes devoted entire issues to extraterrestrials, and, in one instance, had three articles relating that each of the Presidential candidates in the 1992 Presidential election ([[George H. W. Bush]], [[Bill Clinton]], and [[Ross Perot]]) had been taken for a personal ride in a flying saucer to see Washington, D.C. from the air.

These fake articles continue, often with an extreme political slant. Recent issues of the ''National Enquirer'' (perhaps the most blatant fake newspaper since the demise of Weekly World News) had completely false articles about Special Forces raids, carpet bombing, drone strikes, and naval assaults by American forces in the Middle East. The ''Globe'' has run headlines alleging that Hillary Clinton is a Russian spy and has a "new treason indictment", which is not supported by the corresponding article. Another headline, unsupported by any evidence in the article, stated that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin were stopped trying to escape from the country. There were numerous headlines during the 2016 Presidential campaign stating that they were in possession of evidence that would put Ms. Clinton in prison.

=== Early examples of fake news ===
Here are some early examples of fake news:

#The false claim, based on the manipulation of the data, by Sir [[Arthur Eddington]] that the 1919 total eclipse of the sun proved the [[General Theory of Relativity]].
#The false reporting by the bigot [[H.L. Mencken]] on the [[Scopes Trial]].
#''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' broadcast on [[Halloween]] night, 1938, in which Orson Wells dramatically described an invasion by hostile Martians in [[New Jersey]].

===Internet age===
Cybersecurity experts began using the term "fake news" to describe social media postings that attempted to spread false information regardless of the political ramifications of their content.

The widespread public use of the phrase by non-experts probably originated on November 14, 2016, in an announcement by [[Google]]. They said their advertising service was being pulled from sites whose purpose was to present news that was solely designed to attract attention, rather than conducted in a factual manner by a responsible party.<ref>Nicas, Jack (November 14, 2016). [https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-to-bar-fake-news-websites-from-using-its-ad-selling-software-1479164646 "Google to bar fake-news websites from using its ad-selling software"]. ''Wall Street Journal''.</ref> Fake news is also a form of "click bait". A photo would appear in an ad implying that there was a news story about the death of a celebrity, and computer users would click on the link to be taken to a website that carried heavy advertising, but no news story about the death of the living celebrity.

:{{See also|2018 Midterm elections}}

The panic reporting for several days prior to the 2018 Midterm elections that a dozen fake bombs mailed to prominent [[Democrat]]s were real;<ref>Officials had determined within two hours, and the ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported that the alleged bombs were fake, however days later most prominent mainstream sources continued to allege the packages contained real bombs.</ref>

Just when things looked desperate for Democrats with unhinged mobs responding to the party's leadership, CNN reported it had received a mail bomb addressed to [[John Brennan]], who actually works for [[NBC]]. Nonetheless, CNN opened John Brennan's mail anyway, and paused to take pictures of the alleged bomb resembling a Hollywood prop, before evacuating the building in a panic. Others received mailings as well.

Republicans were quick to condemn political violence,<ref>https://youtu.be/KwSGYUDQSuY</ref> unlike Democrat leaders, who were encouraging it.<ref>https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9115480/</ref> President Trump vowed to use all the resources of the federal government to find who was responsible.

As soon as CNN feed into the news cycle that the bombs were active, giving breaking news reports a life of their own, within hours the ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported,
{{quotebox-float|"tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless."<ref><big>7:50 p.m.

A law enforcement official says tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless.

The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

New York City’s police commissioner said earlier Wednesday that the package sent to CNN’s offices in Manhattan contained a live explosive and an envelope containing white powder.

The FBI said the package was similar to explosives sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder and billionaire [[George Soros]].

The package sent to CNN was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, a frequent guest on the channel. The official says that the parcel contained no note or claim of responsibility.</big> [https://www.apnews.com/5c93ac06309c4ce88e8 cd5023f89feca Tom Hays, ''Associated Press'', October 24, 2018].</ref>}} None of this stopped CNN and other mainstream sources from failing to clarify the facts, or whipping up anti-Trump hysteria.

None of the bombs were active, and the alleged bomber didn't know how to build a bomb anyway. The alleged bombs lacked a detonator device, were made with PVC tubing instead of lead, and packed with a harmless powder.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/news/cnn-pipe-bomb-white-powder-harmless-law-enforcement-report/</ref>

===Impeachment sham===
:{{See also|Impeachment sham}}

As the [[impeachment inquiry]] was ginned up, both the ''Washington Post'' and [[Lawfare]]blog's [[Ukrainian collusion]] timelines claim that [[Hunter Biden]] joined [[Burisma]] in May 2014, whereas Burisima's own website and ''Deutsche Welle''<ref>https://archive.is/LqxDr/</ref><ref>http://www.dw.com/en/who-are-hunter-bidens-ukrainian-bosses/a-17642254</ref><ref>https://archive.is/Aza4U</ref><ref>https://archive.is/IDha1</ref> reported that Hunter Biden's hiring was just four days prior to Vice President Biden's pledging $50 million in U.S. taxpayer-provided funds to Ukraine.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/joe-biden-obama-officials-influenced-ukraine-to-advance-own-interests_2896259.html</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/23/world/europe/biden-ukraine.html</ref> Democrats issued [[phony subpoena]]s to build an impeachment case.

By precedent, Congress must have a floor vote to authorize an [[impeachment inquiry]]. [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]] announced an "impeachment inquiry" with no floor vote; the media reported it as a duly authorized inquiry.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/09/24/speaker-pelosi-bamboozles-base-by-announcing-enhanced-continuation-of-status-quo/</ref> The unprecedented change in House Rules results in excluding Republicans from cross-examining witnesses in drafting [[Articles of Impeachment]].

There was no "second whistleblower" for the same reason there was no first: (a) The President is not a member of the [[intelligence community]], (b) is not subject to oversight by the intelligence community inspector general, (c) his actions do not concern “the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity", (d) and do not arise in connection with any such intelligence activity at all."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m70C6N1Y8Ko</ref>

===Other historic exampless===
While many examples of fake news appeared during Donald Trump's presidency, the problem existed long before his election.<ref>Miller, S.A. (December 30, 2018).

Retrieved December 31, 2018.</ref>

One of the more infamous examples of fake news was when former CBS News anchor [[Dan Rather]] used forgeries of the Killian Documents on George W. Bush's service record in order to sway the 2004 election, which resulted in his firing after being exposed. See [[Rathergate]] for more details.

Obama National Security Advisor [[Susan Rice]] appeared on the five major networks Sunday talk shows to put out an official fake news narrative that a [[terrorist]] attack against Americans two months before a presidential election was only a peaceful demonstration that turned into a riot. Despite evidence the contrary, many mainstream news organizations adopted the fake news narrative as fact for its viewers and readers and branded skeptics as conspiracy theorists and racists who opposed a black president.

One possible example of fake news was the announcement by the [[mainstream media]] that [[Fidel Castro]] died at age 90 on November 25, 2016.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/26/americas/fidel-castro-obit/</ref> In fact, the [[Obama Administration]] and major news outlets were likely aware that Castro had died of a terminal illness many years earlier. Indeed, [[Obama]] did not even mention, let alone visit, Castro during Obama's visit to Cuba in March 2016, and neither the president, vice-president, or other high-ranking elected official of the United States attended Castro's "funeral".

In April 2018, the Associated Press and ''The Washington Post'' falsely claimed that the NRA decided to ban concealed carry at an upcoming speech by Vice President [[Mike Pence]] at its convention, when it was actually the Secret Service that forced the organization to do so.<ref>Multiple references:

The [[liberal media]] widely reported that actor [[Jussie Smollett]] was a victim of a [[hate crime]] when it subsequently appeared to have been a hoax.

In June 2019, ''MSNBC'' news anchor Kasie Hunt spread the Fake News narrative that 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate [[Joe Biden]] mentioned being able to work with [[segregation]]ists who were misidentified as "Republicans". Joe Biden did specifically name two segregationist Senators: [[James Eastland]] of [[Mississippi]] and [[Herman Talmadge]] of [[Georgia]].

'''Marc E. Elias''' is a partner at the law firm [[Perkins Coie]] and head of its Political Law practice. Elias served as [[Kamala Harris]]'s general counsel for the [[2020 presidential election]]. Previously he served as general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]]'s 2016 presidential campaign and [[John Kerry]]’s 2004 campaign.

Elias is on the board of Democrat Super PAC [[Priorities USA|Priorities USA Action]].

Elias has been accused of voter suppression and voter intimidation.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/dem-campaign-intern-engaged-in-possible-voter-intimidation/</ref>

==Durham investigation==
Elias resigned from the Perkins Coie law firm just ahead of the anticipated release of Special Counsel [[John Durham]]’s report into the origins of the Trump-Russia hoax.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/22/democrat-election-lawyer-russia-hoaxer-marc-elias-leaves-perkins-coie-ahead-of-durham-report/</ref>

==Ethics sanctions==
''The Washington Examiner'' reported that Elias and his associates were sanctioned by Texas federal appeals judges for a “redundant and misleading submission” and for violating his ethical “duty of candor” to the court in a case in which the Democratic Party was fighting against a state law that banned straight-ticket voting. Elias and the lawyers were ordered to pay attorneys' fees and double costs, and the judges recommended that Elias and his colleagues review the section of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct on “Candor Toward the Tribunal” and encouraged them to “complete one hour of Continuing Legal Education in the area of Ethics and Professionalism, specifically candor with the court.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/democratic-texas-lawmaker-steele-dossier-appeals</ref>

Texas [[Attorney General]] [[Ken Paxton]] said, “Perkins Coie cannot continue to mislead the Court, especially in a matter as important as [[election integrity]].”<ref>https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/ag-paxton-fifth-circuit-issues-sanctions-against-perkins-coie</ref> A federal appeals court refused to reverse the sanctions.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/judges-deny-democratic-lawyer-marc-eliass-bid-to-shake-court-sanctions</ref>

===2020 voter suppression and disenfranchisement of Blacks===
As [[Kanye West]]’s presidential campaign raced to get on the ballot before deadlines, Elias was fighting to disenfranchise voters, specifically targeting [[voter suppression]] of Blacks. Elias's involvement affirmed the belief that Democrats were concerned that having Kanye West on the ballot, especially in swing states, could siphon Black votes away from Democratic nominee Joe Biden. West made ballot status in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Vermont, Tennessee, Minnesota, Idaho, and Iowa.

Elias was the counsel in a suit to keep Kanye West off the ballot in [[Virginia]]. The suit asked for immediate court intervention as deadlines approached for printing and mailing absentee ballots.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/02/former-lawyer-for-hillary-clinton-kamala-harris-is-working-to-push-kanye-off-the-ballot/</ref> According to sworn affidavits from election watchers, the racist [[Democrat machine]] of [[Michigan]] stole all Kanye West votes in the [[2020 presidential election]] and switched the votes to Democrat segregationist [[Joe Biden]].<ref>https://youtu.be/eGx4SXwxlGI</ref>

===Collusion with Jake Sullivan===
[[File:Jake 'al Qaeda is on our side' Sullivan.PNG|right|350px|thumb|The psychotic stare of Jake Sullivan.]]
Paul Sperry of Realclearinvestigations reported Biden regime National Security Adviser [[Jake Sullivan]] figures prominently in an investigation by Special Counsel [[John Durham]] into an alleged [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign]] scheme to use both the [[FBI]] and [[CIA]] to smear [[Donald Trump]] as a colluder with Russia.<ref>https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/09/23/biden_security_adviser_sullivan_tied_to_16_clinton_plan_to_co-opt_cia_and_fbi_to_tar_trump_795498.html</ref> Sullivan spearheaded what was known inside her campaign as a “confidential project” to link Trump to the [[Kremlin]] through dubious email-server records provided to the agencies. [[Michael Sussmann]], a partner in Perkins Coie, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements to the FBI about a secret Trump-Russia server. After a months-long investigation, the FBI found no merit to the rumor.

A grand jury indicated in its indictment that several people were involved in the alleged [[conspiracy]] to mislead the FBI and trigger an investigation of Donald Trump. The Clinton campaign project involved compiling a "digital dossier” on several Trump campaign officials – including Lt. Gen. [[Michael Flynn]], [[Paul Manafort]], [[George Papadopoulos]], and [[Carter Page]]. This effort exploited highly sensitive, nonpublic Internet data related to their personal email communications and web-browsing, known as Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses. To mine the data, the Clinton campaign enlisted a team of Beltway computer contractors as well as university researchers with security clearance who often collaborate with the FBI and the [[intelligence community]]. They worked from a five-page campaign document called the "Trump Associates List."

The indictment states that Michael Sussmann, as well as the cyber experts recruited for the operation, "coordinated with representatives and agents of the Clinton campaign with regard to the data and written materials that Sussmann gave to the FBI and the media." One of those campaign agents was Jake Sullivan, according to emails Durham obtained. On September 15, 2016 Marc Elias "exchanged emails with the Clinton campaign’s foreign policy adviser concerning the Russian bank allegations," as well as with other top campaign officials, the indictment states.

Jake Sullivan was aware of the participants in the project. These included [[Fusion GPS]], which worked for the Clinton campaign to gather dirt and draft the materials Elias discussed with Sullivan, the materials Sussmann later submitted to the FBI. Sullivan personally met with Elias, who briefed him on Fusion's efforts. Sullivan maintained in testimony before the [[House Intelligence Committee]] that he didn’t know of Fusion’s involvement. "Marc [Elias] ... would occasionally give us updates on the opposition research they were conducting, but I didn't know what the nature of that effort was – inside effort, outside effort, who was funding it, who was doing it, anything like that," Sullivan stated under oath. Sullivan testified he didn’t know that Perkins Coie was working for the Clinton campaign until October 2017. Sullivan maintained he didn’t even know that Elias worked for Perkins Coie.

Lying to Congress is a [[felony]]. Though the offense is rarely prosecuted, former Special Counsel [[Robert Mueller]] won convictions of two of Trump’s associates on charges of that very offense.

==2008 election tampering==
Elias represented [[Al Franken]] in [[Minnesota]]. The recount may have been decided by convicted [[felon]]s who voted illegally. A study conducted by Minnesota Majority watchdog group found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic [[Minneapolis]]-[[St. Paul (City)|St. Paul]] voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race. The felons were registered by [[ACORN]].

The final recount determined six months after the election showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes -- '''''fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted''''' which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records. Even though it could be determined that felons illegally voted, there was no way to determine ''how'' they voted with a secret ballot. Once their votes were mixed in with the total, there is no way to separate them out. The same loophole can be used for non-citizens' voting. This is what is meant by the slogan, "Count every vote."

The watchdog group took the voting lists and matched them with conviction lists, then went to the voting roster lists, where voters sign in before voting, and matched them.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/12/felons-voting-illegally-franken-minnesota-study-finds/ Felons Voting Illegally May Have Put Franken Over the Top in Minnesota, Study Finds]</ref>

[[Ann Coulter]] said,
{{quotebox-float|"He stole the 2008 election in Minnesota, going from a thousand votes down the day after the election to 300 votes up a few months later, after vast numbers of Franken votes kept being discovered in heavily Democratic districts.

The '''Russiagate scandal''', originally dubbed the '''Obamagate scandal''', was misconduct by [[Democrat]]s and foreign allies that later became [[fake news]], fomented by the [[liberal media]] and [[Opposition to Donald Trump|opponents of Donald Trump]].

''Circa'' reported "As his presidency drew to a close, Barack Obama's top aides routinely reviewed intelligence reports gleaned from the National Security Agency’s incidental intercepts of Americans abroad, taking advantage of rules their boss relaxed starting in 2011 to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats. ...Among those cleared to request and consume unmasked NSA-based intelligence reports about U.S. citizens were Obama’s national security adviser [[Susan Rice]], his CIA Director [[John Brennan]] and then-Attorney General [[Loretta Lynch]]."<ref>Solomon, John and Carter, Sara (March 29, 2017).

==2015 The Progressive Police State==
:''See: '''[[Obamagate timeline 2015 progressive police state]]'''''
[[File:HSBC scandal3.png|right|350px|thumb]]
What [[Nixon]] contemplated - misuse of the FBI and CIA against domestic opponents - but failed to accomplish yet was nevertheless forced from office, Obama achieved beyond anyone's wildest expectations. The post-[[Watergate]] reform [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]] to supervise [[Executive Branch]] power was systematically and wantonly circumvented to harass political opponents in an attempt to dictate the outcome of the [[2016 presidential election]], and [[blackmail]] the winner with illegally gathered evidence should the Obama coterie of conspirators fail.

Obamagate timeline 2015 - the progressive police state documents how the [[Leftist]] [[authoritarian]] [[utopia]] under [[President Barack Obama]] was firmly in place to cover-up the [[crimes]] of [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]], compromise whomever the 2016 [[GOP]] nominee would be, and rig the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton. This assault on [[American]] [[democracy]] is indisputable.

The origins of intelligence lures, FBI [[provocateur]]s or Spygate. [[Sally Yates]] terminates independent Inspector General oversight of the [[DOJ-National Security Division]]. [[Nellie Ohr]] hired as an FBI contractor to begin illegal [[FISA]] 702 surveillance on [[Michael Cohen]] and others. [[Papadopoulos]] set up.

Comey gives immunity to Clinton cronies who destroyed evidence under a Congressional [[subpoena]].

From November 2015 through April 18, 2016, Justice Department political insiders and outside political contractors, including [[FusionGPS]], accessed the [[NSA]] and FBI database using FISA-702(17) “About Queries”. They gathered information on political opposition of candidate [[Hillary Clinton]], including Donald Trump campaign officials and affiliates. NSA Director Mike Rogers suspected illegal abuse and instructed the NSA compliance officer to conduct a full [[FISA]] audit. The NSA began querying [[DOJ]] and [[FBI]] activity.<ref>https://youtu.be/CIJGH9RS2Fc</ref>

The unlawfully obtained [[FISA]] intelligence information ended up with Fusion GPS. The key personnel in FusionGPS are husband and wife [[Glenn Simpson]] and [[Mary Jacoby]]. Mary Jacoby’s relationship with the Clintons goes back to the Rose Law Firm.<ref group=note>
Hillary Clinton was the intellectual property lawyer for Systematics. According to The ''American Lawyer'', July 1992: "[Hillary] Clinton also was attracted to intellectual property litigation. 'We did not have any intellectual property expertise when she joined us,' says [[Vince Foster]], who adds that Clinton got involved in this area through her work for the firm client, Systematics Inc., a company based in Little Rock that provided computer systems for financial institutions. 'She became sort of self-taught in all of this,' explains Foster. 'And you don't find a lot of intellectual property subspecialists in Arkansas. Quite frankly, the rest of us here thought of it as a foreign language.'"

Part of this "intellectual property" would involve a banking transaction software system based on the stolen PROMIS software. A federal bankruptcy court had ruled in 1987 that the US Justice Dept. 'stole' the PROMIS software from a small company called [[Inslaw Inc]] when the DOJ refused to pay Inslaw for it. US intelligence took the PROMIS software and added a hidden "backdoor" for monitoring banking transactions and money laundering. Systematics was the marketing firm the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) was using to get the PROMIS software with the hidden backdoor into the hands of banks worldwide. The intellectual property that Hillary handled, and that Systematics was marketing, had been stolen from Inslaw.

Systematics was founded in 1968 by University of Arkansas graduate Walter Smiley, who learned of the high software costs and other difficulties faced by small banks in trying to use data processing software from his experiences working with IBM and in the banking industry. Smiley recognized a niche that could be filled for medium-sized banks in this space, and sought funding to start his own company. http://walton.uark.edu/abhf/walter-v-smiley.php Through Jon Jacoby, Smiley was introduced to the Stephens family, who agreed to invest $400,000 in Smiley and Systematics in return for 80% equity stake. http://www.stephensgroup.com/our-portfolio-partners/case-studies Jon Jacoby is the father of Mary Jacoby, wife of [[Glenn Simpson]], http://library.fora.tv/speaker/6818/Glenn_Simpson the founder and owner of FusionGPS.</ref>

==2016 Election year==
:{{See also|Ukrainian collusion}}
A month after Donald Trump announced his intention to seek the presidency in 2015, Deputy Attorney General [[Sally Yates]] blocked the Office of Inspector General (OIG) from oversight of the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). The OIG, [[Michael Horowitz]], requested oversight and Sally Yates responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation essentially denying the request. All of the DOJ was subject to oversight, except the National Security Division.<ref>https://t.co/b2VmsRhQ42</ref>

Obama’s political operatives within the DOJ-NSD were conducting illegal surveillance to monitor the Trump campaign. The NSD unit was working in coordination with [[Peter Strzok]] and others of the FBI Counterintelligence Division.

Sometime in early 2016, NSA Director Admiral [[Mike Rogers]] became aware of “ongoing” and “intentional” violations of the [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]] (FISA) - Section 702 surveillance. Specifically, item #17 “About Queries” of US persons. Rogers suspected FISA 702 (#17 – email and phone calls) surveillance activity was being used for reasons he deemed unlawful. Rogers ordered the NSA compliance officer to run a full audit on 702 NSA compliance. In October 2016, Rogers told the FISA court he became aware of unlawful surveillance and collection of US persons. The FBI counterintelligence division was monitoring Trump through FISA 702(17) upstream surveillance collected by a DOJ National Security Division that had no oversight.

Ten days after the election, on November 17, 2016, Dir. Rogers traveled to Trump Tower without telling DNI [[James Clapper]]. Rogers likely informed President-elect Trump of the illegal activity by the FBI and DOJ, including the probability that all of Trump Tower’s email and phone communications were being collected. Clapper then demanded that Rogers be fired. It appears Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, is complicit as well.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/05/operation-condor-how-nsa-director-mike-rogers-saved-the-u-s-from-a-massive-constitutional-crisis/</ref>

The information the FBI collected, and the material Christopher Steele and [[FusionGPS]] manufactured, were used to create the [[fake news]] [[Trump-Russia conspiracy theory]], and to manipulate the FISA Court into granting a FISA warrant - what Peter Strzok called “the insurance policy” against Trump's election.

===January 2016===

CIA operative Eric Ciaramella, working in the White House, requested Ukrainian officials to reopen an investigation into Paul Manafort which the FBI had dismissed in 2014. The FBI under James Comey reopened the investigation at the same time Ciaramella met with Ukrainian officials in the White House. Ciaramella later became Adam Schiff's alleged "whistleblower" in the [[Trump impeachment]] inquiry after the failure of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to produce sufficient evidence to remove President Trump from office in 2019.

This was part of an effort to “defang, defund and undermine the investigations that were involving Iran and Hezbollah. The closer we got to the [Iran deal], the more these activities went away,” Asher said. “So much of the capability, whether it was special operations, whether it was law enforcement, whether it was [Treasury] designations — even the capacity, the personnel assigned to this mission — it was assiduously drained, almost to the last drop, by the end of the Obama administration.” Within months, task force officials said, Project Cassandra was all but dead. Some of its senior officials, including Jack Kelly the veteran DEA supervisory agent who created and led the task force, were transferred to other assignments. As a result, according to ''Politico'', the US government lost insight into not only drug trafficking and other criminal activity worldwide, but also into Hezbollah’s illicit conspiracies with top officials in the Iranian, Syrian, [[Venezuela]]n and Russian governments — all the way up to presidents [[Nicolas Maduro]], [[Bashar Assad]] and [[Vladimir Putin]], according to former task force members and other current and former U.S. officials. The derailment of Project Cassandra also undermined U.S. efforts to determine how much [[cocaine]] from the various Hezbollah-affiliated networks is coming into the United States, especially from Venezuela, where dozens of top civilian and military officials have been under investigation for more than a decade.<ref>https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/</ref>

===March 2016===
:{{See also|FISA abuse timeline}}
The FBI's illegal surveillance had been ongoing since at least November 2015 through its contractors (FusionGPS, CrowdStrike, Daniel Richman, ''et al'') who had access to the FISA database. FBI contractors were performing massive amounts of illegal FISA 702 "About queries," i.e., entering the name of a US person in the FISA database to cull their entire history of email, text, and voice electronic communications. 702 is specifically, by law, intended for use only on non-US persons residing ''outside'' the United States, and is considered a "serious Fourth Amendment violation" when applied to American citizens.
[[File:Photo Collage-20180428 235136.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Nellie Ohr (left) was performing illegal FISA searches beginning in late 2015; Christopher Steele (right), an agent of a foreign power, was hired in early 2016 by the FBI and Hillary Clinton to meddle in U.S. elections. The fabrications of the foreign agent is the only basis of the [[Mueller investigation]].]]
NSA Dir. Adm. Mike Rogers first became aware of the Obama FBI's abuse of the FISA database on March 9 (see Lisa Page text) and ordered a review. On March 9, Carter Page was not associated with the Trump campaign yet and still listed as a paid FBI informant. On April 18 Rogers cut off FBI contractor access completely (Strzok April 30 text reveals an immediate stop gap workaround for direct surveillance) which set off a flurry of activity within the White House, the Department of Justice and FusionGPS to circumvent the ban and continue the illegal surveillance. [[Mary Jacoby]] visited the White House, along with Jim Baker ("Mr. FISA") of the FBI, and Trish Anderson of DOJ; Christopher Steele was added to the FusionGPS team with Nellie Ohr who was hired in 2015;<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/30/bruce-ohr-dossier-fbi/</ref><ref>Nellie Ohr represented the CIA's "Open Source Works" group in a 2010 "expert working group report on international organized crime" along with Bruce Ohr and Glenn Simpson. Open Source Works, the CIA’s in-house open source analysis component, is devoted to intelligence analysis of unclassified, open source information. The directive that established Open Source Works is classified, as is the charter of the organization. CIA says the existence of any such records is a classified fact.</ref> [[Nellie Ohr]] applied for a Ham radio license to funnel FISA data from her husband, Asst. Attn. Gen. Bruce Ohr, to Steele outside normal NSA electronic monitoring processes.

After Carter Page became associated with the Trump campaign, the Obama FBI took details of the original Russian intelligence approach to Carter Page in 2013, in which Carter Page fully assisted the FBI to build a case against Russian spies, and fraudulently represented to the FISA court that the 2013 Russian recruitment effort against Page had been successful, leaving out the facts (or "exculpatory evidence") of the case in which the DOJ publicly thanked and acknowledged Page as UCE-1 on March 11, 2016 without whom prosecution of the Russian spy network was not possible.

As March 2016 began the only anti-Trump measures in place were the illegal FISA 702 search queries on US persons (the Trump campaign) and John Brennan's network of "oconus lures." By mid June, the entire anti-Trump "Espionage Machine" (in Strzok's words) was fully operational to workaround the loss of FBI contractor access to the FISA database. Evidence points to White House consent, direction and complicity.

In March 2017, the bogus Carter Page FISA application, with the Steele allegations (Steele was a paid opposition researcher, a fact not widely known in March 2017) was [[leak]]ed to the media by the Senate Intelligence Committee giving [[mainstream media]] impetus to the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/former-trump-adviser-page-previously-targeted-by-russian-spies-913292867813 BuzzFeed reporter Ali Watkins received the full classified Carter Page FISA application from the Senate Intelligence Committee director of security, James Wolfe, in March 2017. [[James Wolfe indictment|Wolfe was arrested and indicted]] in mid 2018 and Watkins, who parlayed the illegal leak into a job with the ''New York Times'', was reassigned away from reporting on national security matters. https://amgreatness.com/2018/06/13/moms-to-daughters-dont-be-ali-watkins/</ref>

Despite the investigation of Carter Page being instrumental to starting the FBI and Mueller investigations, Carter Page has never been interviewed by Robert Mueller more than two years after the investigations began.

Sundance of the conservativetreehouse.com summarizes: '''April 18 through July 31, 2016''': At the same time as NSA Director Mike Rogers discovered a significant and unauthorized uptick in FISA-702(16)(17) database queries, and subsequently blocked access (April 18, 2016), candidate Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee for the presidential race. It was within this period where Fusion-GPS was commissioned by Hillary Clinton to focus exclusively on candidate Trump. Fusion held the prior search findings, and Fusion contracted Christopher Steele who later contacted the FBI through official channels. On July 31, 2016, FBI counterintelligence operation Crossfire Hurricane became official. An official investigation targeting the campaign of Donald Trump now held a legal, albeit sketchy and politically motivated, justification. Under the auspices of investigating Russian involvement with George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Paul Manafort and General Michael Flynn, the FBI was now conducting full-blown surveillance on the political campaign of Donald Trump. Crossfire Hurricane was the legal cover; ‘Spygate’ begins.
----
The Clinton Campaign and DNC hired Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research, 'cash for trash' with a Russian emphasis. FEC records show [[Obama for America]] also paid $972,000 to [[Perkins Coie]], the surrogate law firm for FusionGPS, beginning in April 2016.

To develop the ''Steele dossier'', the Clinton Campaign, the DNC, Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS turned to Orbis Ltd., a private intelligence firm, and its owner, Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer. Orbis Ltd. was chosen to partake in the scheme based on the ties between one of its analysts, Igor Danchenko, and an individual with intimate ties to the Clinton Campaign and one its close associates, Charles Dolan.

Danchenko, a Russian citizen, had been working as a contractor/analyst with Orbis Ltd. Since 2011, focusing primarily on Russian and Eurasian geo-political matters. Dolan, then an employee of public relations firm, Kglobal, was a longtime participant in Democratic politics, having previously served as chairman of the DNC, state chairman of former President Bill Clinton’s 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, adviser to Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and having been appointed by Clinton to two four-year terms on an advisory commission at the U.S. State Department. With respect to the 2016 Clinton campaign, Dolan actively
campaigned and participated in calls and events as a volunteer on behalf of the Clinton Campaign.

In late April 2016, Danchenko began having discussions with Dolan about a potential business collaboration between Orbis Ltd. and Kglobal to create a “dossier” to smear Donald J. Trump and to disseminate the false accusations to the media.

===May 2016===
The Inspector General found that Comey began considering the possibility of an FBI-only public statement in late April and early May 2016, well in advance of the late June tarmac meeting in which Lynch compromised herself.

Comey put out a draft statement on May 2 for FBI leadership to review and edit. Senate Homeland Security chairman Ron Johnson said, "The edits to Director Comey’s public statement,<ref>https://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screen-Shot-2017-12-14-at-3.59.10-PM-620x363.png</ref> made months prior to the conclusion of the FBI’s investigation of Secretary Clinton’s conduct, had a significant impact on the FBI’s public evaluation of the implications of her actions." Johnson further declared the edits to Comey’s statements “raise profound questions about the FBI’s role and possible interference in the 2016 presidential election and the role of the same agents in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of President Trump.”<ref>https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/government-corruption/comey-concluded-hillary-hacked.htm</ref> The Homeland Security Committee found in February 2018 that
*The FBI did not use a grand jury to compel testimony and obtain the vast majority of evidence, choosing instead to offer immunity deals and allow fact witnesses to join key interviews.
*There were substantial edits to Dir. Comey’s public statement that served to downplay the severity of Sec. Clinton’s actions, and that the first draft of the memo was distributed for editing two months before key witnesses were interviewed.
*Dir. Comey stated that he had not consulted with the Justice Department or White House, when text messages suggest otherwise. We have text messages in which two key investigators discuss an “insurance policy” against the “risk” of a Trump presidency, and “OUR task.”
*Messages discuss “unfinished business,” “an investigation leading to impeachment,” and “my gut sense and concern there’s no big there there.”
*Senior FBI officials—likely including Dep. Dir. McCabe— knew about newly discovered emails on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner for almost a month before Director Comey notified Congress.
*Over the period of at least four months, the FBI did not recover five months’ worth of text messages requested by DOJ OIG and two Senate committees; however, when pressed, DOJ OIG was able to recover missing texts in less than one week.

Neither Papadopolous nor Downer ever claimed that Clinton emails were discussed.

===June 2016===
Julian Assange announced in a televised interview on June 12 that he was in possession of DNC emails; on June 13, 2018 (two years later) special counsel [[Robert Mueller]] alleged in [[The indictment of 12 Russian nationals, 13 July 2018|an indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers]] that alleged Russian "hackers" did not contact Assange with DNC emails until June 14.

Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which includes among members two former Technical Directors of the National Security Agency, has repeatedly called attention to its conclusion that the DNC emails were leaked — not “hacked” by Russia or anyone else.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2018/06/27/did-sen-warner-and-comey-collude-on-russia-gate/</ref> In analyizing the time sequence:

:*June 12, 2016: Assange announces WikiLeaks is about to publish “emails related to Hillary Clinton;”

:*June 14, 2016: DNC contractor Crowdstrike, (with a dubious professional record and multiple conflicts of interest) announces that malware has been found on the DNC server and claims there is evidence it was injected by Russians;

:*June 15, 2016: “Guccifer 2.0” affirms the DNC statement; claims responsibility for the “hack;” claims to be a WikiLeaks source; and posts a document that the forensics show was synthetically tainted with “Russian fingerprints;"

VIPS noted
{{Quotebox-float|"We do not think that the June 12, 14, & 15 timing was pure coincidence. Rather, it suggests the start of a pre-emptive move to associate Russia with anything WikiLeaks might have been about to publish and to “show” that it came from a Russian hack.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171112090338/https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russia Hack’ Evidence], ''Consortium news'', July 24, 2017.</ref>}}
"Cozy Bear" and "[[Fancy Bear]]", whom CrowdStrike alleged to belong to Russian intelligence, are hacker groups that have been identified as associated with Ukrainian intelligence. James Comey never pursued the matter.
----
Russian hacking claims relied entirely on a report by a private company the DNC hired called [[CrowdStrike]] of Irvine, CA. Crowdstrike was founded by Dimitry Alperovitch, a Ukrainian oligarch.<ref>https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2017/03/23/what-is-crowdstrike-firm-hired-by-dnc-has-ties-to-hillary-clinton-a-ukrainian-billionaire-and-google/</ref>

Neither the FBI nor the [[Dept. of Homeland Security]] ever examined the DNC servers to determine if indeed they were hacked, or attempted to identify who the hacker might have been.

The [[mainstream media]] ran with the CrowdStrike version of a hack in an attempt to delegitimize Trump. Starting in June 2016 and continuing forward the DNC, ''Washington Post'', ''New York Times'', and other MSM outlets have been using CrowdStrike's allegations in an attempt to delegitimize Donald Trump while providing an excuse for Hillary Clinton's loss. From there followed claims that "Russia hacked the U.S. elections."

[[FusionGPS]] hired by [[Veselnitskaya]] through [[BakerHostetler]] to do dirt digging for a Russian defendant (Prevezon) in a civil forfeiture case arising out of alleged money laundering activities uncovered by the late Sergei Magnitsky (whose name was given to the Russia sanctions bill, the [[Magnitsky Act]]). [[Glenn Simpson]] acknowledged that the [[Kremlin]]'s interests in the work Simpson did for Veselnitskaya and the Katsyv's aligned with his client against the [[U.S. Government]]. Russian lawyer [[Natalia Veselnitskaya]] hired BakerHostetler, the law firm for which Simpson was working, and that firm retained the services of Russian-American lobbyist [[Rinat Akhmetshin]], both of whom attended a meeting at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016. During the Prevezon litigation, Veselnitskaya received, via the law firm, memoranda summarizing [redacted, likely Magnitsky Act] research. Certain topics - including the Ziff Brothers (a venture capital firm specializing in capital investment) - were the-subject of both (1) memoranda Veselnitskaya received from Simpson and (2) the presentation Veselnitskaya made to Trump campaign officials. Simpson acknowledged being with Veselnitskaya at a court hearing in New York on the morning of June 9, 2016, prior to her meeting at Trump Tower. He further recalled having drinks and dinner with her and others, including Akhmetshin, in Washington, D.C. a day or two later.<ref>''Russian Active Measures'', March 22, 2018, p. 88.</ref> The Ziff Brothers were Clinton Foundation donors who Simpson dug up dirt on in his effort to discredit the Magnitsky Act for the Katsyvs.

Contrary to media, Comey FBI, and [[Mueller office]] leaks and false reporting, Veselnitskaya's "dirt" had nothing to do with Clinton emails. It was "dirt" about Clinton Foundation donors. And the "dirt" was dug up by the same outfit Hillary Clinton paid to dig up "dirt" on Donald Trump.
----
Fusion GPS officially retained Orbis Ltd. and Christopher Steele to find “links between Russia and the then Republican candidate. . . Donald J. Trump.” When no such evidence was found, the directive shifted to manipulating the truth and developing a false narrative that Donald J. Trump was colluding with Russia.

In taking on this assignment, Steele was aware that “Democratic Party associates” were paying for his and Fusion GPS’s “research,” and that “the ultimate client” was “the leadership of the Clinton presidential campaign.” Steele testified that “the candidate”—Hillary Clinton—was “aware of [his] reporting.” Furthermore, Steele shared the common goal of the Defendants’ overarching conspiracy: he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected” and he “was passionate about [Donald J. Trump] not being president.”

Soon thereafter—at the direction of Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Campaign, the DNC, Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS—Orbis Ltd. and Steele, with the assistance of Robby Mook, Nellie Ohr, Igor Danchenko, Charles Dolan, and others, began preparing approximately seventeen anti-Trump memoranda known collectively as the “Steele Dossier.” Marc Elias testified that he sent the bills from Fusion GPS to Robby Mook, manager of the Clinton Campaign.
----
The Dossier was fabricated to induce the FBI to commence an investigation into alleged ties between Russia and Donald J. Trump, the Trump Campaign, and the Trump Organization. In drafting the Dossier, Steele purported to rely upon numerous sources who
contributed information and prevarications to him. Several of the alleged sources named in the Dossier have refuted, under oath, that they provided any of the purported information contained in the Dossier to Steele: Olga Galkina, a Russian citizen who was referenced as “sub-source 3” in the Dossier, stated that she was never a source or sub-source to Steele, and, in fact, never even met him; Alexey Dundich, a Russian citizen who was referenced as “sub-source 4” in the Dossier, stated that he never was a source of information, and never even met Steele; Petr Avan, a Russian citizen who was referenced in the Dossier, denies the allegations contained in the Dossier and states that its contents are false.

The primary source for the information provided in the Dossier was Steele’s analyst, Igor Danchenko.
----
Bruce Ohr made his first contact with the FBI about Trump-Russia collusion evidence in late July and early August 2016. Bruce, Nellie and Christopher Steele met for breakfast at a Washington hotel. Trump had made statements about making [[NATO]] allies pay their fair share. Steele of British intelligence was desperate for Trump not to win. Bruce called McCabe at the FBI after they ate. Strzok of the FBI counterintelligence division opened an investigation on Trump the next day.<ref>https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/405484-bruce-ohrs-efforts-to-secretly-reshape-the-trump-probe-started-earlier-in</ref>

[[File:John-mccain-sergei-millian-600x395.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Alleged Russian agent Sergei Millian colluding with Sen. John McCain.]]
*'''1 June.''' Mueller Version of Papadopoulos Statement of Offense becomes vague about Papadopoulos' alleged foreign contacts between now and August, with no reference to Sergei Millian. Millian is known throughout the Trump-Russia affair as Steels Source D (Report 80) and Source E (Reports 94, 95 and 102), "a person known to the FBI", and Person 1 in the FISA Abuse Report''. Millian is cited as the source of the statements of "a well developed conspiracy" and the golden shower allegations.
:*Steele's allegations, attributed to Millian, was the foundational probable cause for the Carter Page FISA application. When the Crossfire Hurricane team interviewed Millian in January 2017 at the time of the first FISA warrant renewal, Millian stated that Steele lied and embellished statements Millian made to Steele, which Steele had attributed to Millian in the ''Steele dossier''. No corrections were ever made in any of the Carter Page FISA applications, and the FBI deliberately hoaxed the FISA court for one year, well into the first nine months of the Trump presidency. Under the two-hop rule, the FBI and Mueller team was able to pursue the most invasive surveillance possible of all past and present electronic communications, on all Trump appointees for the first nine months of the Trump administration.
:*DOJ Inspector General [[Michael Horowitz]] established that Millian is being both Source D and E in the ''Steele dossier''.<ref>FISA Abuse Report, pp. 163-165.</ref>
::*The ''Wall Street Journal'' reported:
{{Quotebox-float|Sergei Millian, a 38-year-old American citizen who has claimed he helped market Trump properties to Russian buyers, wasn’t a direct source for the 35-page dossier, this person said. Rather, his statements about the Trump-Russia relationship were relayed by at least one third party to the British ex-spy who prepared the dossier, the person said. Among the unverified allegations of Mr. Millian’s that an intermediary passed along, the person said: The claim that the Russians had compromising video of Mr. Trump that could be used to blackmail him, and a claim that there was a “conspiracy of cooperation” between the Trump camp and Russian leadership that involved hacking the computers of Mr. Trump’s Democratic opponents. In the dossier, the source believed to be Mr. Millian is referred to at various times as both Source D and Source E and is cited as somebody “speaking in [[confidence]] to a compatriot” or “speaking in confidence to a trusted associate.”<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/key-claims-in-trump-dossier-came-from-head-of-russian-american-business-group-source-1485253804</ref>}} The Daily Caller New Foundation reported:
{{Quotebox-float|Papadopoulos’ wife, is now drawing attention to two other encounters that Papadopoulos has had over the past two years that she considers “highly suspicious.” One of those contacts [Millian] offered to pay Papadopoulos $30,000 a month while he worked inside the [[Trump administration]], she told The Daily Caller News Foundation. ...Sergei Millian, a [[Belarus]]-born businessman who is alleged to be a major source for the infamous ''Steele dossier''..... Mangiante, an Italian national, confirmed to TheDCNF that Millian is the individual Papadopoulos described in a July 22, 2016 Facebook message that is cited in documents the special counsel’s office released in October. Papadopoulos and Millian met days after the July 22, 2016 Facebook message.... Mangiante also said that Papadopoulos and Millian met multiple times in [[Chicago]] and [[New York City]] before the election. In one encounter in Chicago, Millian offered Papadopoulos a substantial sum of money as part of an energy-related business deal. The catch was that Millian said Papadopoulos would have to remain in the Trump administration while carrying out the work.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2018/06/06/george-papadopoulos-millian-suspicious/?utm_medium=push&utm_source=daily_caller&utm_campaign=push</ref>}} By contrast, Mueller's Statement of Offense is strangely silent on Millian:

:*Veselnitskaya was hired by Denis Katsyv of the Russian Katsyv family to represent Prevezon; when in the United States, Veselnitskaya hired BakerHostetler to discredit [[Bill Browder]], who pushed through Russian sanctions, the Magnitsky Act. Katsyv and Veselnitskaya wanted to limit sanctions and discredit Browder. Browder claimed corrupt Russian businessmen and the government stole $350 million of his money and killed his employee, Sergei Magnitsky. Veselnitskaya hired BakerHostetler to hire FusionGPS and Simpson to compile an anti-Browder dossier.

:*Browder renounced his American citizenship in 1998 to avoid U.S. taxes and returned in 2010 to lobby Sens. [[John McCain]] and [[Ben Cardin]] for passage of the Magnitsky Act, named for his employee who died in jail while serving a sentence on evasion of Russian taxes. How a person who renounced their American citizenship and didn't pay U.S. taxes has the power to move Congress to help reclaim his wealth through sanctions is anybody's guess.

:*Simpson gave four pages of the anti-Browder research to Veselnitskaya, who carried it into the meeting with Trump associates. It contained information about “financial misconduct by major contributors [the Ziff brothers, allied with Bill Browder] to the Clinton Global Initiative, a project of the [[Clinton Foundation]]."<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/11/fusion-gps-dossier-targeted-clinton-foundation-donors/</ref>

:*Browder filed a FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) complaint against Simpson and FusionGPS with the FBI for unregistered lobbying to repeal sanctions, which [[Andrew McCabe]] never acted on.

:*Simpson obviously had a [[conflict of interest]], working to remove sanctions for Prevezon while at the same time working to impugn Trump as a violator of sanctions with false information on behalf of his DNC and Hillary Clinton clients.

:*[[Robert Mueller]] never contacted Veselnitskaya for an interview about the meeting.

:*According to ''[[NYT]]'' reporter [[Anne Applebaum]], wife of [[Polish]] Defense Minister [[Radek Sikorski]], "Focus your attention just briefly on one of them: Ike Kaveladze.... his company, Euro-American Corporate Services Inc., set up more than 2,000 Delaware corporations on behalf of unknown, mostly Russian clients...Why did this matter?

:*Steele provided Fusion GPS with something that Simpson’s firm was lacking: access to individuals within the FBI and the State Department. These contacts could be traced back to at least 2010, when Steele had provided assistance in the FBI’s investigation into FIFA over concerns that Russia might have been engaging in bribery to host the 2018 World Cup.
:*Steele provided informal reports to the State Department in the latter half of 2014. “During the [[Ukraine crisis]] in 2014 and ‘15, Chris Steele had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in Russia, what was going on in Ukraine, what was going on between them,” said '''Victoria Nuland''', assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.

*'''30 June.''' '''Obama complicity whitewashed.''' The FBI investigation concluded that Sec. of State Clinton communicated with President Obama via email. The fact that President Obama and Hillary Clinton were emailing each other, indicates President Obama did in fact know of Clinton’s illegal email account. FBI Draft statement on Hillary's exoneration reads,
{{Quotebox-float|We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including '''from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. ''That use included an email exchange with the President'' while Secretary Clinton was on the territory of such an adversary'''.

From the txt msg. between Strzok and Lisa Page, we see that Asst. FBI Dir. W.H. “Bill” Priestap helped create the carefully worded announcement Dir. Comey delivered in July 2016 to extricate Clinton from her illegal problems.

*Bill Priestap was Strzok’s direct boss. As head of FBI counterintelligence, Priestap would have to sign off on the use of FusionGPS (aka: Bean LLC, aka, Glenn Simpson), Crowdstrike, and/or any FBI contractor who was allowed access to, or received information from, the FBI database.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/22/fbi-shadow-figure-surfaces-to-protect-president-obama-amid-released-fbi-text-messages/</ref> Priestap would have needed to authorize Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the ''Steele dosssier''. Priestap would have to approve the underlying documents that were used for both FISA applications (June/July and Sept/Oct). Priestap would be the person to approve of paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the ''Steele dossier'' used in the FBI counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.

*'''June.''' Steele meets in Rome with FBI Agent [[Mike Gaeta]] from the Eurasian Joint Organized Crime Squad with whom Steele had worked on the European FIFA soccer scandal. Reports vary: ''The Guardian'' reported that “in June, Steele flew to Rome to brief the FBI contact with whom he had cooperated over FIFA.” ABC News reported that “Steele sent the FBI agent in Rome the opposition research on Trump he generated working for Fusion GPS.” Following Gaeta’s initial meeting with Steele, the FBI sought permission from the office of [[Victoria Nuland]], who gave the go-ahead for the more formal meeting.

===July 2016===
FBI counterintelligence investigations generally proceed sequentially from what is called a preliminary investigation or inquiry (PI) to a full investigation (FI). To move from a PI to an FI requires substantial information — predication — indicating investigative targets acted as agents of a foreign power. There are strict guidelines governing when the FBI can task a confidential source or a government undercover operative to collect against a U.S. citizen. Normally this is restricted to a full investigation, and normally restricted to the United States, not overseas. The FBI tasked sources to spy on the Trump campaign before an investigation was even officially opened.

The question that has yet to be answered is, who did FBI agent Mike Gaeta give the ''Steeele dossier'' to, and when. Was it transmitted to FBI leadership? If so, why did the counterintelligence team have to travel to Rome in September to get their first copy from Steele? And the biggest question: Did CIA director John Brennan receive a copy of the dossier via Gaeta—or whomever he transmitted a copy to—in the summer of 2016 following Gaeta’s return?
----
Oversight protocol requires the FBI Director to tell the congressional intelligence [[Gang of Eight]] (Go8) of any counterintelligence operations. The Go8 has oversight into these operations at the highest level of classification. In July 2016, at the time the Obama FBI Counterintelligence Division operation began, oversight was the responsibility of Speaker [[Paul Ryan]], Minority leader [[Nancy Pelosi]], Senate Majority leader [[Mitch McConnell]], Senate Minority leader [[Harry Reid]], [[House Intel Committee]] chair [[Devin Nunes]], ranking member [[Adam Schiff]], Senate Intel chair [[Richard Burr]], and ranking member [[Diane Feinstein]]. Comey and the Obama FBI kept hidden from the Go8 its counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate, Donald Trump. FBI Agent Peter Strzok referred to the Obama administration's illegal counterintelligence operation as an “insurance policy”.
----
Throughout July, August and Sept 2016 Fusion GPS paid journalists from the ''New York Times'', ABC, Ken Dilanian of NBC and others to listen to Christopher Steele and simultaneously shopping the fake ''Steele dossier'' to them. Court papers confirm payments.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fusion-gps-paid-journalists-court-papers-confirm/article/2641454</ref> The list of journalists and media outlets made aware of Steele’s tripe is extensive. Those journalists include ''New Yorker'' editor David Remnick, ''Atlantic'' editor Jeffrey Goldberg, former ''New Republic'' editor Franklin Foer, and ''Washington Post'' columnist Anne Applebaum. ''Reuters'' reported that it, too, was briefed on the dossier,<ref>http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/veracity-of-trump-dossier-holding-up-despite-republican-attacks-1070959683973?playlist=associated</ref> and while it refrained from reporting on it before the election, its national security reporter Mark Hosenball became an advocate of the dossier’s findings after Trump's victory in November 2016.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-dossier/trump-dossier-on-russia-links-now-part-of-special-counsels-probe-sources-idUSKBN1C92WN</ref> [[BBC]]'s Paul Wood wrote in January 2017 that he was briefed on the dossier a week before the election. ''Newsweek’s'' Kurt Eichenwald likely saw Steele’s work around the same time, because he published an article days before the election based on a “Western intelligence” source (i.e., Steele) who cited names and data points that could only come from Steele's opposition research.
----
The Clintons effectively compromised Obama and Lynch to whitewash the email investigation. Hillary Clinton emailed President Obama from Russia using her Blackberry tied to the Chappaqua server. Obama took the bait and responded. Russian intelligence likely monitored the exchange from its point of origin in Russia. Whether Hillary deliberately set up Obama with compromising evidence to protect her email scam, or it was just stupidity on her part, is a matter of speculation.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/09/obama-email-alias-clinton-why-fbi-didnt-prosecute-hillary/</ref>

But the entire incident certainly was used by the Clinton's in an "If I go down, you go down, too" negotiation by late June 2016. Loretta Lynch had to compromise herself when she met Bill Clinton to finalize the whitewash.

James Comey, knicknamed [[Jimmy the Weasel]] for his overblown sense of self-importance couched in a Boy Scout veneer, was the perfect stooge and useful idiot who volunteered himself as the fall guy to hide Clinton and Obama corruption and carry the message to the American media and public.
----
In or around July 2016, Perkins Coie and Micgael Sussmann, acting on behalf of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC, tasked [[Neustar]], under the direction of its executive, [[Rodney Joffe]], to exploit its information gathering services and their access to non-public data to dredge up any information, data or records that could show any wrongdoing by Donald J. Trump, the Trump Campaign or the Trump Organization.

Thereafter, Neustar, led by Joffe, initiated a search for proof of a secret “back channel” between Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank; when it became clear that no such back channel existed, Neustar and Joffe shifted their focus to fabricating evidence to invent proof of the supposed “back channel.”

*'''19 July.''' Steele sent an email to Gaeta that included Report 94, which was captioned "Company Intelligence Report 2016/94-Russia: Secret Kremlin Meetings Attended by Trump Advisor Carter Page in Moscow (July 2016)." Report 94 was one of 4 reports the FBI relied upon to support the [[probable cause]] in the Carter Page FISA applications, alleged that during a visit to Moscow in July 2016, Page met with: (1) Igor Sechin, Chairman of Russian energy conglomerate [[Rosneft]], and discussed the "lifting of western sanctions against Russia over Ukraine;" and (2) Igor Divyekin, a staff member in the Russian Presidential Administration, who informed Page of compromising information the Kremlin possessed on Hillary Clinton and its possible release to the Republican campaign. Report 94 further alleged that Divyekin advised Page that the Russians had derogatory information on Trump, which the candidate should bear in mind in future dealings with Russian leadership. Report 94 described conversations involving a limited number of persons (e.g., Sechin confided the details of a secret meeting with Page; Sergei Ivanov confided in a compatriot that Divyekin had met secretly with Page).

*'''Late July.''' Undated ''Steele dossier'' Report 95 entitled "Russia/US Presidential Election: Further Indications of Extensive Conspiracy Between Trump's Campaign Team and the Kremlin" and cited repeatedly to information provided by "Source E." Report 95 alleged the existence of "a well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" between the Trump campaign and Russian leadership, and claimed that the campaign's manager, Manafort, used Carter Page and others as "intermediaries" to further the conspiracy. According to Source E, the "Russian regime" was behind the leak of DNC emails to Wikileaks with the "full knowledge and support" of Trump and his campaign team, and the [[Wikileaks]] platform was used by Russia to afford it "[[plausible deniability]]" of its involvement in the [[leak]].
:*Report 95 included an allegation that Carter Page and possibly others agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue in exchange for Russia's disclosure of hacked DNC emails to Wikileaks. The FBI used this information in all of the Carter Page FISA applications to support its assessment that Page helped influence the Republican Party to change its platform to be more sympathetic to Russia's interests by eliminating language from the Republican platform about providing weapons to Ukraine.
{{Anchor|Anne Applebaum}}
*'''21 July.''' '''Anne Applebaum''' of the ''Washington Post'' writes a “Trump presidency could destabilize Europe.” The issue, she explained, was Trump’s positive attitude toward Putin. “The extent of the Trump-Russia business connection has already been laid out, by Franklin Foer at ''Slate'',” wrote Applebaum. She named Carter Page and his “long-standing connections to Russian companies.” Applebaum repeats the kenard that the “Trump’s campaign team helped alter the Republican party platform to remove support for Ukraine” from the Republican National Committee’s platform. Maybe, she hints, that was because of Trump aide Manafort’s ties to Ukrainian President [[Viktor Yanukovych|Victor Yanukovich]]. The Manafort-Yanukovich relationship is an important part of the ''Steele dossier''. So is the claim that in exchange for Russia releasing the DNC emails, “the TRUMP team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue.” For Applebaum, it was hard to understand why Trump would express skepticism about the [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization]], except to appease Putin. She referred to a recent interview in which Trump “cast doubt on the fundamental basis of transatlantic stability, NATO’s Article 5 guarantee: If Russia invades, he said, he’d have to think first before defending U.S. allies.”<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/how-a-trump-presidency-could-destabilize-europe/2016/07/21/9ec38a20-4f75-11e6-a422-83ab49ed5e6a_story.html?sw_bypass=true</ref> The talking points come directly from Hillary Clinton opposition research, FusionGPS and the ''Steele dossier''.

:*[[Jeffrey Goldberg]] of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' publishes an article entitled, ''It’s Official: Hillary Clinton is Running Against Vladimir Putin'' using the same opposition research material from the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' paid for by [[Hillary Clinton]]: “The [[Republican]] nominee for president, [[Donald J. Trump]], has chosen this week to unmask himself as a ''de facto'' agent of Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]].” Trump’s admiration for Putin and other “equivocating, [[mercenary]] statements are unprecedented in the history of Republican [[foreign policy]]making.” However, insofar as Trump’s fundamental aim was to find some common ground with Putin, it’s a goal that has been a 25-year U.S. policy constant across party lines. Starting with [[George H.W. Bush]], every American [[commander-in-chief]] since the end of the [[Cold War]] sought to “reset” relations with [[Russia]]. But Trump, according to Goldberg, was different. “Trump’s understanding of America’s role in the world aligns with Russia’s geostrategic interests.” Goldberg alleged “watered down” the [[RNC]]'s platform on [[Ukraine]] and “questioned whether the U.S., under his leadership, would keep its [ [[NATO]] ] commitments,” including [[Article 5]]. Thus, Goldberg concluded: “Donald Trump, should he be elected president, would bring an end to the [[Liberal World Order|postwar international order]].”<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/07/clinton-trump-putin-nato/492332/</ref>

*'''First week of August.''' [[CIA]] dir [[John Brennan]] contacted Deputy National Security Advisor [[Avril Haines]] via telephone, as he had received intelligence in relation to President [[Vladimir Putin]]. An envelope which contained “eyes only” instructions was sent by courier from the Central Intelligence Agency to the [[White House]]. The contents of the envelope were shown to four people: President [[Barack Obama]], and three of his senior aides, most likely [[Chief of Staff]] [[Denis McDonough]], [[National Security Advisor]] [[Susan Rice]] and deputy Avril Haines. Within the envelope was information from a valuable source, Oleg Smolenkov,<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2019/09/14/the-spy-who-failed/</ref> that Director John Brennan had used to ascertain certain information, a source which he intentionally kept away from the Presidential Daily Brief. This was because, by 2013, the Presidential Daily Brief was being received by over 30 recipients.

::*According to [[fake news]] reporting of the ''[[The Washington Post]]'', "The intelligence captured Putin’s specific instructions on the operation’s audacious objects — defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and help elect her opponent, Donald Trump.” Brennan created a secret task force at the Central Intelligence Agency’s Headquarters, which was composed of several dozen analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Working Group reported to two different groups:
:::(1) President Barack Obama and less than 14 senior United States Government officials.
:::(2) A team of operations specialists at the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/obama-putin-election-hacking/?utm_term=.e0ebd1a1dbf5</ref>
::*The Crossfire Hurricane investigation team, in conjunction with a number of agents at the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) under US Attorney [[Dana Boente]], reported to the Working Group,<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/16/us/politics/crossfire-hurricane-trump-russia-fbi-mueller-investigation.html</ref> including the CIA. During this time, they investigated the four main targets of Crossfire Hurricane, Papadopoulos , Carter Page, Michael Flynn Paul Manafort and they also investigated Roger Stone as part of their expanded WikiLeaks investigation.
::*As part of the secrecy surrounding the Working Group and Crossfire Hurricane, the Crossfire Hurricane team was provided their own source of funding, and they worked in a secure area, titled the “war room”, within FBI Headquarters, which required special clearance to enter.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbis-russia-investigation/story?id=47346117</ref>
:*Obama ordered his aides to determine ways to retaliate or deter against the Russian Government through three steps: (1) Gain a high-confidence assessment from the United States intelligence agencies on Russia’s role and intent; (2) Check vulnerabilities in state-run election systems; (3) Seek bipartisan support from Congressional leaders for a statement condemning Moscow and urging states to accept federal assistance.
:*The same week, Susan Rice, Avril Haines and Lisa Monaco convened meetings in the White House Situation Room, which would later be referred to as “Deputies Meetings”. These meetings were initially attended by Brennan, Clapper, Comey and Lynch. As time passed Vice President [[Joe Biden]] joined the Deputies Meetings.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/obama-putin-election-hacking/?utm_term=.21f20bdb10a8</ref> At a later time, agendas were directly sent to Cabinet secretaries, including Secretary [[John Kerry]] and Secretary [[Ashton Carter]]. When an agenda was received, their subordinates were ordered never to open the envelopes. Further to this, some agendas were withheld until the participants had arrived in the Situation Room and sat down.
::*Ordinarily, a video feed from the White House Situation Room is fed into various [[National Security Council]] offices to allow senior aides to view the events with zero sound. However, during the Deputies Meetings, the video feeds were switched off.
:::One of these Deputies Meetings was hosted by Avril Haines, where the attendees of the meetings argued that any deliberative attempt to strike back against Russia would become a tool of propaganda for President Vladimir Putin, while another was concerned about the potential effect any action may have on Election Day 2016. Haines would later note she was “very concerned” during this time about the potential of Russians gaining influence within the Trump campaign, although she apparently remained unaware of the existence of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
:::*As an aspect, or an offshoot, of one of these meetings, Susan Rice informed both Michael Daniel and Celeste Wallander (who would later gain access to the ''Steele dossier'') to cease their planning of retaliation against Russia for their cyber attacks on companies and political campaigns and to stand down.
::*Comey also met with Obama in the Oval Office for a one-on-one meeting, where Comey suggested that he write an opinion piece for ''The New York Times'' about the potential for Russian interference in the [[2016 United States presidential election]]. Comey planned to avoid mentioning the Crossfire Hurricane investigation in the opinion piece; "they never took me up on it. The Obama administration deliberated until the beginning of October."<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Site/transcript-james-comeys-interview-abc-news-chief-anchor/story?id=54488723</ref>
:*Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) warned officials and Congress that both American citizens’ and residents’ banking and financial data had been illegally searched and stored. Those breaches extended to other intelligence agencies, including the NSA, CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

::This was accomplished as the Office of Intelligence and Analysis opened a back door to give access to the intelligence agencies. Another aspect was that the Treasury Dept. attempted to transfer the work of FinCEN to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, which was fought back by employees at the FinCEN.

::At the time, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis was ran by the Asst. Sec. for Intelligence and Analysis, S. Leslie Ireland, whom also simultaneously worked as the National Intelligence Manager For Threat Finance at ODNI. She started both positions in July 2010, and left both positions in November 2016.

*'''Early August — presumably the first week .''' Federal Bureau of Investigation agents met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, where they questioned her about a letter they had received in early March 2016 from a foreign source, supposedly written by Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Leonard Benardo of the Open Society Foundations regarding the [[Midyear Exam investigation]].

*'''1 - 3 August.''' '''Strzok travels to London to interview a "key witness,"''' [[Stefan Halper]] a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, [[MI6]].
:*Halper's job was to locate then dirty-up anyone he could convince: 1) to meet with him; 2) engage in his requests; and 3) engage contacts he set up. Halper provided the underlying optics needed for the Electronic Communication (EC) referral which Brennan used to trigger Comey to originate the FBI Counterintelligence Operation.

::*The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch required Bruce Ohr to recuse himself from participating in activity related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation because of Nellie Ohr's prior work for Fusion GPS as an independent contractor. Specifically, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502(a) provides that an employee should not participate in a matter, unless agency ethics counsel authorizes participation, "[w]here an employee knows that a particular matter involving specific parties is likely to have a direct and predictable effect on the financial interest of a member of his household ... and where the employee determines that the circumstances would cause a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts to question his impartiality in the matter .... " Section 402(b)(1) defines "direct and predictable effect" as "a close causal link between any decision or action to be taken in the matter and any expected effect of the matter on the financial interest."
::*Nellie Ohr was paid $44,000 for her work with FusionGPS.
::*Bruce Ohr never consulted the DOJ ethics counsel for authorization.
::*As of January 2020, one month after the FISA Abuse Report was released, Bruce Ohr was still employed by the U.S. Justice Department.
:*Strzok and Lisa Page debate what would be shared with DOJ prosecutors when Strzok returns to Washington (investigators typically do not share information with prosecutors until an investigation is completed for fear of leaks which can compromise confidential informants. Additionally, unlike a criminal investigation, the Trump investigation is a [[counterintelligence]] investigation, which can be quite lengthy over years or decades, and rarely result in criminal indictments against the main targets. The object is to neutralize rather than convict. Hence [[due process]] requirements can be much lower than [[probable cause]] necessary in criminal inquiries):

Citing the “original reporting” of Franklin Foer’s July 4, 2016 ''Slate'' article, Remnick contends “that one reason for Trump’s attitude has to do with his business ambitions.” As Remnick elaborated, “one of Trump’s foreign-policy advisers," Carter Page, "has longstanding ties to Gazprom, a pillar of Russia’s energy industry.” Remnick also worried about Trump’s lack of support for Ukraine and the fact that Trump “has declared NATO ‘obsolete’ and has suggested that he might do away with Article 5.”<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trump-and-putin-a-love-story</ref>

Steele flew to Rome, Italy to meet with FBI and provide a “full briefing.” FBI paid Steele's airfare.
:*Lisa Page testified that the team working on Crossfire Hurricane received documents and a briefing from Steele in mid-September, reportedly at a meeting in Rome, where Gaeta was also present. The team received the “reports that are known as the dossier from an FBI agent who is Christopher Steele’s handler in September of 2016.” She would later clarify the timing, noting, “We received the reporting from Steele in mid-September.”
:*Fusion boss Glenn Simpson later testified what Steele told him about the meeting:
{{Quotebox-float|"Essentially, what [Christopher Steele] told me was [the FBI] had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source, and that — that they — my understanding was that they believed Chris at this point — that they believed Chris’s information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing, and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump campaign."}}

*'''16 September.''' One of Rodney Joffe’s team at Neustar confirmed that DNC attorney Michael Sussmann would convey the false information to the FBI regarding the supposed connection between Donald J. Trump and Alfa Bank, with the plan to deceive.
:*In furtherance of his efforts with Sussmann and Marc Elias to disseminate false allegations regarding Trump, Joffe also exploited his access—which he had through multiple companies, including Neustar, Dissect Cyber, and Zetalytics—to unlawfully search, gather and mine internet data, including non-public and proprietary data, to obtain derogatory information on Donald J. Trump.<ref>Sussmann Indictment ¶¶ 21-23; see also Motion to Inquire into Potential Conflicts of Interest ¶ 4 (ECF Doc. No.

In doing so, Joffe and Neustar intentionally accessed, without authorization or in excess of any authorization, the computers, servers, and/or other sensitive datasources at the above-stated facilities. Furthermore, Joffe and Neustar stole trade secrets, in the form of proprietary, sensitive and confidential data, information, and knowledge, from the above-stated facilities.

*'''19 September.''' FBI general counsel [[James Baker (DOJ)]] met with Perkins Coie partner [[Michael Sussmann]], who had sought out the meeting. Sussmann stated falsely that he was not acting on behalf of any client, which led Baker to understand that Sussmann was conveying the allegations as a good citizen and not as an advocate for any client.
:*Sussmann stated that he had been approached by multiple cyber experts concerning the Russian bank connections allegations; Sussmann provided the names of three cyber experts, but did not name or mention Neustar, Rodney Joffe, the Clinton Campaign, or any other person or company.
:*Sussmann described the allegations of a secret Trump Organization server that was in communication with the Russian bank, including that the Russian bank had used a TOR exit node located at a healthcare company to communicate with the Trump Organization.
:*Sussmann stated that media outlets were in possession of information about the Trump Organization's secret server, and that a story would be published on Friday of that week.
:*Sussmann provided Baker two thumb drives and hard copy papers, which contained and comprised the following:
::*(i) the aforementioned white paper that Sussmann had assisted in drafting, entitled ''White Paper #1 AuditableV3'', which contained no date or author's name;
::*(ii) a white paper drafted by a researcher, which was entitled, ''White Paper Comments: Time Series Analysis of Recursive Queries'', dated September 19, 2016, and contained no author's name;
::*(iii) white paper drafted by Fusion GPS regarding the Russian Bank and its parent company, which contained no date or author’s name; and
::*(iv) eight files containing the Russian Bank data and other purported data and information relating to the mail.trump-email.com domain.
:*Sussmann reported the Trump-Alfa Bank connection, as though it was real, and lied to FBI General Counsel James Baker, by falsely stating that he was not acting on behalf of any client, when he was specifically there at the behest of Clinton, the Clinton Campaign, and the DNC. In fact, he billed the Clinton Campaign for his efforts, as he had with all of his actions taken in furtherance of the Defendants’ [[conspiracy]].
:*Baker told Congressional lawmakers that Sussmann presented him with “a stack of material I don’t know maybe a quarter inch half inch thick something like that clipped together, and then I believe there was some type of electronic media, as well, a disk or something.” The information that Sussmann gave to Baker was related to what Baker described as “a surreptitious channel of communications” between the Trump Organization and “a Russian organization associated with the Russian Government.”<ref>https://themarketswork.com/2019/01/21/baker-testimony-reveals-perkins-coie-lawyer-provided-fbi-with-information-on-alfa-bank-allegations/</ref>
:*Baker was describing alleged communications between Alfa Bank and a server in the Trump Tower. These allegations, which were investigated by the FBI and proven to be false, were widely covered in the media.
:*Sussmann’s statement to FBI General Counsel James Baker that he was not acting on behalf of any client was knowingly and intentionally false. In truth, and as Sussmann well knew, he and his firm, Perkins Coie, had been acting on behalf of and in coordination with four specific clients, i.e., Neustar, Clinton, the Clinton Campaign, and the DNC in assembling and conveying his allegations.
:*Sussmann billed his meeting with the FBI General Counsel to the Clinton Campaign with the billing description, “work and communications regarding confidential project.”
:*Sussmann concealed and failed to disclose, among other things, that,
::*(i) he had spent time drafting one of the white papers he provided to the FBI General Counsel and billed that time to the Clinton Campaign, and
::*(ii) Fusion GPS, which at the time was also acting as a paid agent of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC, drafted another of those white papers.
:*Sussmann's lies and omissions were material because, among other reasons, they misled the FBI General Counsel and other FBI personnel concerning the political nature of his work and deprived the FBI of information that might have permitted it more fully to assess and uncover the origins of the relevant data and technical analysis, including the identities and motivations of Sussmann's clients.
:*Had the FBI uncovered the origins of the relevant data and analysis, it would have learned, among other things, that
::*(i) in compiling and analyzing the Alfa Bank allegations, Rodney Joffe had exploited his access to non-public data at multiple internet companies to conduct opposition research concerning Donald J. Trump;
::*(ii) in furtherance of these efforts, Rodney Joffe had enlisted, and was continuing to enlist, the assistance of researchers at a U.S.-based university who were receiving and analyzing internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract; and
::*(iii) Sussmann, Elias, Perkins Coie, Joffe, and Neustar had coordinated, and were continuing to coordinate with representatives and agents of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC, with regard to the data and written materials that Sussmann gave to the FBI and the media.

:*Baker’s testimony also shows that Sussmann was speaking with the media at the same time he had approached Baker, who noted that '''Sussmann had also provided the info to the media''' and had told him that “the ''New York Times'' was aware of this.”
:*Immediately after the meeting, Baker spoke with the Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division. During their conversation, Baker conveyed the substance of his meeting with Sussmann. The Assistant Director took contemporaneous handwritten notes which reflect, in substance, the above-referenced statements by Sussmann and stated, among other things: “Michael Sussmann – Atty: Perkins Coie, LLP not doing this for any client.”
:*Comey, McCabe, Stzok and Priestap were all involved.<ref>https://themarketswork.com/2019/01/21/baker-testimony-reveals-perkins-coie-lawyer-provided-fbi-with-information-on-alfa-bank-allegations/</ref>

*'''20 September.''' FBI opens an investigation of the bogus Trump-Alfa Bank allegations. In the course of the investigation, the FBI concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations of a secret communications channel with the

In particular, and among other things, the FBI's investigation revealed that the email server at issue was not owned or operated by the Trump Organization but rather, had been administered by a mass marketing email company that sent advertisements for Trump hotels and hundreds of other clients.

*'''28 September.''' On Capital Hill for a day of testimony, FBI Dir. James Comey [[perjury|perjurors]] himself before the House Governmental Affairs Oversight Committee. In response to a question from Rep. [[John Ratcliffe]], Comey testified his decision not to recommend prosecution of Hillary Clinton came after her 2 July interview with the FBI.

{{Quotebox|Mr. RATCLIFFE. ...If there was ever any possibility that something Hillary Clinton might have said on July 2 could have possibly resulted in criminal charges that might possibly have resulted in a trial against her relating to this classified information, well, then, to use your words, Director, I don’t think that there is any reasonable prosecutor out there who would have allowed two immunized witnesses central to the prosecution proving the case against her to sit in the room with the interview, the FBI interview, of the subject of that investigation. And if I heard you earlier today, in your long career, I heard you say that you have never had that circumstance. Is that—did I hear you correctly? Mr. COMEY. That is correct, but—— Mr. RATCLIFFE. Okay. And I never have either, and I have never met a prosecutor that has ever had that. So, to me, the only way that an interview takes place with the two central witnesses and the subject of the investigation is if the decision has already been made that all three people in that room are not going to be charged. Mr. COMEY. Can I respond? Mr. RATCLIFFE. Yes. Please. Mr. COMEY. I know in our political lives sometimes people casually accuse each other of being dishonest, but if colleagues of ours believe I am lying about when I made this decision, please urge them to contact me privately so we can have a conversation about this. All I can do is to tell you again, the decision was made after that, because I didn’t know what was going to happen in that interview...<ref>

From 2013 until ten days before he joined the Trump camapiagn, [[Carter Page]] was a paid informant for the U.S. government to help convict a Russian intelligence agent. Carter Page was listed as an Under-Cover Employee [UCE-1 in court documents].

DOJ-NSD and FBI CoIntel wanted a "legal" way to spy on the Trump campaign. The highest levels of the Obama DOJ and FBI asked for and received [[FISA]] Title 1 surveillance of former FBI employee Carter Page in October 2016. The Obama DOJ National Security Division and the FBI Counterintelligence Division, knew Carter Page was not a Russian spy, misreprsented facts and perpetrated a fraud upon the FISA court. The authority became the "legal" cover for their own criminal intent and actions.

The “Title I” designation as a foreign agent applied '''retroactively''' to any action taken by Mr. Page, and auto-generates an exponential list of other people he came in contact with. Each of those people, groups or organizations could now have their communication reviewed, unmasked and analyzed by the DOJ/FBI with the same surveillance authority granted upon the target, Mr. Page. The [[Stormy Daniels]] payment scheme, for example, was discovered by the Obama DOJ illegal FISA Title I abuse. All electronic communications by the Trump campaign are in the hands of [[Robert Mueller]]. James Comey never informed Congress of the surveillance, as required by law, because Comey knew it was illegal.

FISA Title I surveillance of U.S. citizens is the most intrusive, exhaustive and far reaching type of search, seizure and surveillance authority, permitting the FBI to look at every aspect of Mr. Page’s life. All communication, travel and contact can be opened and reviewed. All aspects of any of Mr. Page’s engagements are subject to being secretly monitored. This is an entirely different level of surveillance authority, the highest possible, and outside FISA-702 search queries (Title VII) of US persons.

Because “FISA Title I” surveillance authority against a US citizen is so serious, only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants. One of the four people authorized to make such a filing is the Asst. Attn. Gen. [[John P. Carlin]] who was head of the DOJ National Security Division. Carlin who, together with the FBI counterintelligence unit, vetted Carter Page as an FBI Under-Cover Employee to gain a guilty plea from a Russian operative in early 2016, then turned around six months later in October 2016 when things weren't going so well for [[Hillary Clinton]] and accused Carter Page of being a Russian Spy.

There was a secret agreement between the CIA and the FBI that was kept hidden from the FISA court until October 2016 when NSA Director Mike Rogers exposed and reported it. The agreement centered around “access to FBI systems“; the overarching issue was “deliberate decision making” that led to “contractor access to the NSA database”, and the fact those contractors were searching “U.S. persons”.

CIA contractors were using FBI portal access ''per'' the secret agreement to exploit the NSA database and extract search results. The CIA is not supposed to be conducting surveillance, aka “spying”, inside the U.S. on American citizens.

In the secret agreement, unknown to the FISA court, the CIA was hiding their extraction of U.S. person information by using FBI database access through the DOJ-NSD ([[Department of Justice-National Security Division]]).

In 2015 the Office of Inspector General requested oversight and it was Deputy AG [[Sally Yates]] who denied access. All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD. The secret MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the CIA and FBI was the reason why the DOJ-NSD would not allow inspector general oversight.
----
The information in the FISA application relied upon to establish probable cause to believe that Carter Page was coordinating with the Russian government on 2016 U.S. presidential election activities was based upon Christopher Steele's reporting. This reporting included the alleged secret meetings between Page and Russian officials in July 2016 described in Steele's Report 94. The most descriptive information in the FISA application of alleged coordination between Carter Page and Russia came from Steele's Report 95, which attributed the information to "Source E," Serge Millian.

The FISA application stated that, according to Millian, Carter Page was an intermediary between Russian leadership and an individual associated with the Trump campaign (Manafort) in a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" that led to the disclosure of hacked DNC emails by Wikileaks in exchange for the Trump campaign team's agreement, which the FBI assessed included at least Carter Page, to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue. The application also stated that this same sub-source provided information contained in Steele's Report 80 that the Kremlin had been feeding information to Trump's campaign for an extended period of time and that the information had reportedly been "very helpful," as well as information contained in Report 102 that the DNC email leak had been done, at least in part, to swing supporters from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. The FBI had no independent corroboration for this information.

Although Christopher Steele was fired by the FBI for speaking to the media and violating FBI regulations days after his unverified information was used to hoax the FISA court, not only was the court never informed the initial FISA application was based on information that FBI regulations deemed unreliable, the DOJ/FBI used the Steele information three more times over the next year to secure three more 90 day warrant extensions. While they were busy hoaxing the FISA court with bogus information, Comey, Clapper and Brennan all testified to Congress the information was unverified.

*'''11 October.''' '''A smoking gun for FISA fraud - Kavalec notes of the Steele, Winer, and Kavalec meeting.'''
:*Deputy Assistant Secretary of State [[Kathleen Kavalec]]’s written account of her meeting with Christopher Steele shows that Steele admitted his research was political and facing a November 8, 2016 Election Day deadline. The admission occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s false information as evidence to procure a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign. Steele's client, the Clinton campaign, “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8.”<ref>https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442592-steeles-stunning-pre-fisa-confession-informant-needed-to-air-trump-dirt#.XNIAVvr8PT0.twitter</ref> The Kavalec memo was shared with the FBI who were preparing the FISA warrant.
:*[[Jonathan Winer]], who arranged the meeting, was also present.
:*Kacalec was suspicious of the information.
:*The Kavalec notes indicate Steele claimed the Russians, Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, were “sources” for the ''Steele dossier''. Trubnikov and Surkov were not identified by name in the ''Steele’s dossier''. Trubnikov, the former head of the SVR, has links to Stefan Halper.
::*Stefan Halper arranged for Trubnikov to visit intelligence seminars at the University of Cambridge on May 4, 2012, and May 11, 2015. He also tapped Trubnikov to contribute to a study he did in 2015 for the Pentagon’s [[Office of Net Assessment]] (ONA) published in 2015.
::*[[Bruce Ohr]] told Congress in 2018 that Steele told him during a July 30, 2016 meeting that a former head of the SVR had told someone that the Russian government “had Donald Trump over a barrel.”
:*The notes highlight several of Steele's inaccuracies, including that Russia was running operations out of its consulate in Miami. As Kavalec pointed out, Russia does not have a consulate in Miami.
:*There is no evidence the compromising material mentioned in the dossier actually exists, raising questions about whether Steele was given disinformation.

*'''21 October.''' '''Carter Page FISA warrant'''. DOJ and FBI sought and receive a FISA probable cause order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance of Carter Page from the FISA court. The warrant application was signed by Sally Yates and James Comey. The FISA order was ultimately used by Brennan’s Working Group, as the information gathered gave them multiple investigative leads into the Trump campaign.<ref>''per Lisa Page testimony, day 2.</ref>

:*Carter Page is a US citizen who served as a paid FBI informant up to March 2016 at which time he became a volunteer advisor to the Trump campaign. The [[FISA Court]] at this time is still unaware of the Section 702 violations.

:*The application first has to be certified by the FBI Director or Deputy Director. It then has to be certified by the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). With [[John Carlin]]'s resignation days earlier, the application was signed by [[Sally Yates]] who terminated DOJ-NSD cooperation with the independent Inspector General in mid 2015, giving license to the massive number of 702 abuses which started shortly after.<ref>In 2013, there were 9,600 FISA 702 search queries involving 195 Americans. But in 2016 after Yates terminated IG oversight there are 30,355 searches of 5,288 Americans, https://sharylattkisson.com/2018/05/20/collusion-against-trump-timeline/ http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/05/intelligence-reports-raise-questions-about-obama-administration-surveillance.php essentially, the entire Trump campaign in 50 states.</ref>

:*The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant and three FISA renewals from the FISA court over the next year, well into the Trump presidency.

:*The “insurance policy” is short-hand to describe an effort to conduct surveillance on candidate Trump, which could later ensure a strategic plan to disrupt and possibly eliminate Trump if elected, via the Russia collusion narrative. That plan needs retroactive legal authority for the FBI to conduct surveillance – which can be used to weaponize intelligence. The plan culminates in the Carter Page Title-1 FISA warrant as the deployment mechanism.

:*As required by statute, a FISA order on an American citizen must be renewed every 90 days by the FISA court and each renewal requires a separate finding of probable cause to avoid a 'fishing expedition'. Director [[James Comey]] signed three FISA applications on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one. Deputy Attorneys General Sally Yates, Dana Boente, and Rod Rosenstein each signed one renewal on behalf of the DOJ. In the case of Carter Page, relevant information and potentially exculpatory material was not provided to the FISA court on these four separate occasions over one year.

:*The bulk of the application consists of allegations against Carter Page that were disclosed to the FBI by Christopher Steele and outlined in the ''Steele dossier''. The application contains no additional corroboration other than a Sept 23, 2016 ''Yahoo News'' article the Obama DOJ/FBI represents to the court as supposed "independent corroboration" which was peddled to ''Yahoo News'' by Christopher Steele's himself.

:*The ''Steele dossier'' was compiled on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC and formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was paid $168,000 by the Clinton campaign and DNC. Some of the money Steele paid to Russians for "dirt" on Hillary's opponent. Neither the initial application nor any renewals disclose or reference the Clinton campaign or DNC in funding the dossier, '''although the origins of the dossier was known to the DOJ and FBI at the time. The FISA application does not mention that the FBI authorized payment to Steele for the same information''' [''emphasis in original''].<ref>https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/hpsci_memo_key_points.pdf</ref>

Toscas calls Strzok cause he “wanted to ensure information got to Andy [McCabe]". Strzok told George Toscas “we know”. Strzok then tells Bill Priestap.

:*McCabe knew about the emails since September 28, more than three weeks earlier.

:*Comey and Lynch now are informed of the Clinton emails that McCabe has been sitting on for 23 days. Comey later claimed the call from New York was about a search warrant, but the FBI had all the information necessary for a new warrant three weeks earlier. They were stalling for a Hillary victory in November. Internal discussion focuses now on McCabe recusing himself. The recusal debate is just another bureaucratic delaying tactic til after the election when hopefully Hillary Clinton will win - the hunt for someone to take over the investigation and the time necessary for a fresh face to become familiar with the case.

:*McCabe fights back, publicly by authorizing Lisa Page to make illegal leaks about ongoing investigations to the ''Wall Street Journal'', and privately inside the DOJ by trying to blame illegal leaks on the New York field office.

*Meanwhile, the Clinton emails are not, and have not, been looked at. All discussion is about the public perception of coverup, which is actually the correct perception of what is happening in the DOJ-FBI.

The Coalition of All Democratic Forces should certainly see what kind of use it might make of the legislature, but realistically, we should probably expect that the coalition’s job in Congress will be to prevent Trump from passing anti-democratic legislation. That is, the task in Congress will be a negative one of denying Trump the use of the Article I powers, not the positive one of the coalition’s using them itself.

That leaves the tool that will certainly be available: the courts. The courts have a few obvious advantages, starting with hundreds of independent judges of both parties whom Trump cannot remove from office and who don’t have to face his supporters in forthcoming elections." https://www.lawfareblog.com/coalition-all-democratic-forces-part-iii-what-if-trump-wins</ref>

:*McCabe told OIG that he proposed that the Clinton email team meet with Comey the following day after the conference call between the the NYO and SDNY.

:*The OIG found explanations for sitting on the Weiner laptop unpersuasive for not acting sooner, given the FBI leadership’s conclusion about the importance of the information and that the Clinton investigation team had sufficient information to take action after the October 4 conference call, and knew at that time that it would need a new search warrrant to review any Clinton-Abedin emails. Moreover, given the FBI’s extensive resources, the fact that Strzok and several other FBI members of the Clinton investigation team had been assigned to the Russia investigation, which was extremely active during this September and October time period, was not an excuse for failing to take any action during this time period on the Weiner laptop.

*'''2 November.''' ''True Pundit'' reports
{{quotebox-float|New York Police Department detectives and prosecutors working an alleged underage sexting case against former Congressman [[Anthony Weiner]] have turned over a newly-found laptop he shared with wife Huma Abedin to the FBI with enough evidence “to put Hillary (Clinton) and her crew away for life,” NYPD sources told True Pundit. NYPD sources said Clinton’s “crew” also included several unnamed yet implicated members of Congress in addition to her aides and insiders. The NYPD seized the computer from Weiner during a search warrant and detectives discovered a trove of over 500,000 emails to and from Hillary Clinton, Abedin and other insiders during her tenure as secretary of state. The content of those emails sparked the FBI to reopen its defunct email investigation into Clinton on Friday. But new revelations on the contents of that laptop, according to law enforcement sources, implicate the Democratic presidential candidate, her subordinates, and even select elected officials in far more alleged serious crimes than mishandling classified and top secret emails, sources said. NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to: [[Money laundering]], Child exploitation, [[pedophilia|Sex crimes with minors (children)]]; [[Perjury]]; [[Pay to play]] through [[Clinton Foundation]]; [[Obstruction of justice]]; Other [[felony]] crimes. NYPD detectives and a NYPD Chief, the department’s highest rank under Commissioner, said openly that if the FBI and Justice Department fail to garner timely indictments against Clinton and co- conspirators, '''NYPD will go public with the damaging emails now in the hands of FBI Director James Comey and many FBI field offices.''' “What’s in the emails is staggering and as a father, it turned my stomach,” the NYPD Chief said. “There is not going to be any Houdini-like escape from what we found. We have copies of everything. We will ship them to [[Wikileaks]] or I will personally hold my own press conference if it comes to that.” The NYPD Chief said once Comey saw the alarming contents of the emails he was forced to reopen a criminal probe against Clinton. “People are going to prison,” he said. Meanwhile, FBI sources said Abedin and Weiner were cooperating with federal agents, who have taken over the non-sexting portions the case from NYPD. The husband-and-wife Clinton insiders are both shopping for separate immunity deals, sources said. “If they don’t cooperate they are going to see long sentences,” a federal law enforcement source said. NYPD sources said Weiner or Abedin stored all the emails in a massive [[Microsoft]] Outlook program on the laptop. The emails implicate other current and former members of Congress and one high-ranking Democratic Senator as having possibly engaged in criminal activity too, sources said. Prosecutors in the office of US Attorney [[Preet Bharara]] have issued a subpoena for Weiner’s cell phones and travel records, law enforcement sources confirmed. NYPD said it planned to order the same phone and travel records on Clinton and Abedin, however, the FBI said it was in the process of requesting the identical records. Law enforcement sources are particularly interested in cell phone activity and travel to the [[Bahamas]], U.S. Virgin Islands and other locations that sources would not divulge. The new emails contain travel documents and itineraries indicating Hillary Clinton, President [[Bill Clinton]], Weiner and multiple members of Congress and other government officials accompanied convicted pedophile billionaire [[Jeffrey Epstein]] on his Boeing 727 on multiple occasions to his private island in the U.S [[Virgin Islands]], sources said. Epstein’s island has also been dubbed Orgy Island or Sex Slave Island where Epstein allegedly pimps out underage girls and boys to international dignitaries. Both NYPD and FBI sources confirm based on the new emails they now believe Hillary Clinton traveled as Epstein’s guest on at least six occasions, probably more when all the evidence is combed, sources said. Bill Clinton, it has been confirmed in media reports spanning recent years, that he too traveled with Epstein over 20 times to the island. '''Laptop Also Unveiled More Classified, Top Secret Breaches.''' According to other uncovered emails, Abedin and Clinton both sent and received thousands of classified and top secret documents to personal email accounts including Weiner’s unsecured campaign web site which is managed by Democratic political consultants in Washington D.C. Weiner maintained little known email accounts that the couple shared on the website anthonyweiner.com. Weiner, a former seven-term Democratic Congressman from New York, primarily used that domain to campaign for Congress and for his failed mayoral bid of [[New York City]]. At one point, FBI sources said, Abedin and Clinton’s classified and top secret State Department documents and emails were stored in Weiner’s email on a server shared with a dog grooming service and a western Canadian bicycle shop. However, Weiner and Abedin, who is Hillary Clinton’s closest personal aide, weren’t the only people with access to the Weiner’s email account. Potentially dozens of unknown individuals had access to Abedin’s sensitive State Department emails that were stored in Weiner’s email account, FBI sources confirmed. FEC records show Weiner paid more than $92,000 of congressional campaign funds to Anne Lewis Strategies LLC to manage his email and web site. According to FBI sources, the D.C.-based political consulting firm has served as the official administrator of the anthonyweiner.com domain since 2010, the same time Abedin was working at the State Department. This means technically Weiner and Abedin’s emails, including top secret State Department emails, could have been accessed, printed, discussed, leaked, or distributed by untold numbers of personnel at the Anne Lewis consulting firm because they can control where the website and it emails are pointed, FBI sources said. According to FBI sources, the bureau’s newly-minted probe into Clinton’s use and handling of emails while she served as secretary of state, has also been broadened to include investigating new email-related revelations, including: *Abedin forwarded classified and top secret State Department emails to Weiner’s email *Abedin stored emails, containing government secrets, in a special folder shared with Weiner warehousing over 500,000 archived State Department emails. *Weiner had access to these classified and top secret documents without proper security clearance to view the records *Abedin also used a personal yahoo address and her Clintonemail.com address to send/receive/store classified and top secret documents *A private consultant managed Weiner’s site for the last six years, including three years when Clinton was secretary of state, and therefore, had full access to all emails as the domain’s listed registrant and administrator via Whois email contacts. *Because Weiner’s campaign website is managed by the third-party consultant and political email guru, FBI agents are burdened with the task of trying to decipher just how many people had access to Weiner’s server and emails and who were these people. Or if the server was ever compromised by hackers, or other actors. Abedin told FBI agents in an April interview that she didn’t know how to consistently print documents or emails from her secure Dept. of State system. Instead, she would forward the sensitive emails to her yahoo, Clintonemail.com and her email linked to Weiner. Abedin said, according to FBI documents, she would then access those email accounts via webmail from an unclassified computer system at the State Dept. and print the documents, many of which were classified and top secret, from the largely unprotected webmail portals. Clinton did not have a computer in her office on Mahogany Row at the State Dept. so she was not able to read timely intelligence unless it was printed out for her, Abedin said. Abedin also said Clinton could not operate the secure State Dept. fax machine installed in her Chappaqua, NY home without assistance. Perhaps more alarming, according to the FBI’s 302 Report detailing its interview with Abedin, none of the multiple FBI agents and Justice Department officials who conducted the interview pressed Abedin to further detail the email address linked to Weiner. There was never a follow up, according to the 302 report.<ref>https://truepundit.com/breaking-bombshell-nypd-blows-whistle-on-new-hillary-emails-money-laundering-sex-crimes-with-children-child-exploitation-pay-to-play-perjury/</ref>}}

*'''4 November.''' '''Erik Prince''' appears on radio and outlines discoveries within the Huma Abedin/Anthony [[Weiner laptop]] that was being blocked by AG Loretta Lynch.<ref>https://youtu.be/KQF6ozkHPt8</ref> Prince claimed insider knowledge of the investigation to explain why Dir. [[James Comey]] had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server:
{{quotebox-float|“Because of [[Weinergate]] and the sexting scandal, the NYPD started investigating it. Through a subpoena, through a warrant, they searched his laptop, and sure enough, found those 650,000 emails. They found way more stuff than just more information pertaining to the inappropriate sexting the guy was doing,” Prince claimed. “They found State Department emails. They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including [[money laundering]], including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile [[Jeffrey Epstein]]. Bill Clinton went there more than 20 times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said. “The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained. “I believe – I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at 1PP, One Police Plaza in New York – the '''NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion''', from the Justice Department, with the Justice Department '''threatening to charge someone that had been unrelated in the accidental heart attack death of Eric Garner''' almost two years ago. That’s the level of pushback the Obama Justice Department is doing against actually seeking justice in the email and other related criminal matters,” Prince said.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/radio/2016/11/04/erik-prince-nypd-ready-make-arrests-weiner-case/</ref>}}

He said that he immediately turned this information over to leadership within the FBI, noting, “I think it was [[Bill Priestap]],” the head of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division. Baker also testified regarding what he believed was the underlying source of the memos he received from Corn.
{{quotebox-float|“I think I assumed at the time or knew, he may have told me, that he got it from Simpson or somebody acting on Simpson’s behalf.”<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/clinton-campaign-relied-on-former-spys-web-of-connections-to-frame-trump_2777189.html?ref=brief_News</ref>}} Steele wrote four memos after the FBI team received his information in mid-September.

At the time of these meetings, Swartz was a CRM Deputy AAG and Weissmann was the Chief of the Fraud Section. During this period, Ahmad was initially Counsel to the Criminal Division AAG and then became an Acting CRM Deputy AAG.
:*None of these CRM officials had supervisory responsibility over the MLARS investigation. :*Ahmad and Weissmann did not have prior direct involvement in the investigation.

===December 2016===
In reviewing leaks of classified information before and after November 8, 2016, a trend becomes evident: prior to the election, leaks focused on Russia's attempts to sow discord; leaks after the election focused on an alleged attempt to affect the outcome, rather than just undermining confidence in the electoral system.<ref>''Russian Active Measures'', March 22, 2018, pp. 101-110.</ref>

As of December 5, 2016, the [[Obama administration]] had not acknowledged any attempt by Moscow to influence the election in favor of Trump. However, four days later on December 9, Adam Entous, [[Ellen Nakashima]], and Greg Miller of ''[[Bezos Blog]]'' reported that John Brennan concluded a new assessment that Russia intervened in the [[2016 U.S. presidential election]] to help candidate Trump.
----
By "walking back" negative statements Trump made about the IC, in particular the CIA, and "going along" with congressional investigations into Russian collusion which ultimately would end in a whitewash, Trump could gain cooperation in deal making for career [[Civil Service Commission|civil service employees]] and appointments. If not, hearing Trump's promise to [[drain the swamp]], the Intelligence Community is "going to war."

With the creation of [[ISIS]], the Obama White House and Intelligence Community had much to hide. The [[Benghazi massacre]] derailed their plans; rather than a quick overthrow of [[Bashar al-Assad|Assad]] it led to Russian troop deployments in [[Syria]] and a continuing war of attrition. Things hadn't worked out the way they planned. Anyone involved in fomenting the atrocity which is the [[Syrian war]] - Brennan, Hillary Clinton, Obama, McCain, ''et al.'' - the crimes against peace and crimes against humanity, felt vulnerable.

This list of individuals allegedly “linked to Trump” include: a Russian involved in a “gangland killing;” an Uzbek mafia don; a former KGB officer suspected in the murder of Paul Tatum; a Russian who reportedly “buys up banks and pumps them dry”; a Russian money launderer for Sergei Magnitsky; a Turk accused of shipping oil for ISIS; a couple who lent their name to the Trump Institute, promoting its “get-rich-quick schemes”; a man who poured him a drink; and others.
:*Nellie Ohr did not have a clue that Felix Sater was an active FBI informant.

:*That same day, [[Deep State]] officials in the [[IC]] begin [[leak]]ing blatantly [[false]] intelligence to the ''[[Washington Post]]'', as proven by the unpublished PDB and previous IC products, claiming that Russia used "cyber means" to influence "the outcome of the [[election]]."

The information the FBI collected, and the material Christopher Steele and [[FusionGPS]] manufactured, were used to create the [[fake news]] [[Trump-Russia conspiracy theory]], and to manipulate the [[FISA]] court into granting a FISA warrant - what [[Peter Strzok]] called “the insurance policy” against Trump's election. When [[James Comey]] reopened the Clinton investigation ten days before the election in October 2016, and Hillary's lead in the polls started to drop, the "insurance policy" became operational: officially sanctioned leaks alleging collusion between Trump and Russia were rampant.<ref>https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/veteran-spy-gave-fbi-info-alleging-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump/</ref>

When James Comey asked for a private meeting with Trump on January 6, 2017 to present Trump with Hillary Clinton's fictional opposition research as a US intelligence product, Comey briefed Trump only on the sexual allegations and not a word about [[Carter Page]], [[Michael Flynn]], Paul Manafort, and [[Michael Cohen]] being targeted under the [[FISA]] Act. According to Comey, he acted on the instructions of [[John Brennan]] and [[James Clapper]].<ref>"the leaders of the intelligence community agreed he needed to be told about because we knew it and thought it was about to become public." http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1804/19/cg.01.html</ref> Clapper dutifully [[leak]]ed the fact that Trump had been briefed on allegations that he consorted with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel in 2013 in an unsavory way to Jake Tapper of CNN.<ref>https://saraacarter.com/former-dni-james-clapper-allegedly-leaked-to-cnn-investigation-revealed/</ref> CNN reported the made-up news from the supposed "intelligence report" and linked to the opposition research report on [[BuzzFeed]], claiming it was some sort of official document in the hands of the US intelligence community that the government was acting on. The [[intelligence community]] had implemented the "insurance policy". Russiagate was no longer just [[Hillary Clinton]]'s political campaign directed against Trump, it was now a [[disinformation]] operation aimed at [[liberal deceit|deceiving]] the American people.

==2019 [[The Empire Strikes Back]]==
:''See : '''[[Muellergate timeline 2019]]'''''

The '''[[Muellergate scandal]]''' refers to efforts to cover-up Obama-era [[FBI]]/[[DOJ]] crimes and frame [[Donald Trump]] and campaign associates for crimes they did not do.
[[File:Biden text.png|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden telling his daughter Naomi that his "Pop" receives 50% of the Burisma [[kickback]]s.<ref>https://thespectator.info/2020/10/15/unlike-pop-joe-biden-i-wont-make-you-give-me-half-of-your-salary-video/</ref>]]
Since President Trump's inauguration, 26 people were fired or otherwise removed from the [[Department of Justice]] and [[FBI]] in the Obamagate scandal.

FBI Deputy Director [[Andrew McCabe]] and FBI chief legal counsel [[James Baker (DOJ)]] selected most of the special counsel investigators; those two then recommended to Deputy AG [[Rod Rosenstein]] that he hire [[Robert Mueller]] as special counsel lead.

[[James Comey]] was fired. The remaining ‘at-risk’ [[corrupt]] [[FBI]] leadership (McCabe and Baker), positioning to defend their own interests, selected the “small group”; then Mueller was selected and brought on his additional team members. The entire purpose of the special counsel operation was to cover-up the DOJ/FBI activity during the [[2016 presidential election]], [[Trump transition]], and early [[Trump administration]].

While DOJ Inspector General [[Michael Horowitz]] completed his review of the FBI mishandling of the [[Clinton email investigation]], Horowitz was prevented from looking at any of the prime suspects in the [[FISA abuse]] scandal. As was U.S. Attorney John Huber from prosecuting anyone involved. Mueller's ongoing investigation gave cover to corrupt Obama era officials, citing Mueller's "ongoing investigation." They successfully impeded investigations throughout the 2017-2019 Congressional session.

==2020 Deep State coup 2.0==
:{{See also|Deep State coup 2.0|Biden Putsch}}

Deep State coup 2.0 refers to the '''sham "impeachment" of Donald Trump''' by Democrat leaders [[Nancy Pelosi]], [[Adam Schiff]]. and [[Jerrold Nadler]] to obscure revelations in the [[Spygate]] and [[FISA Abuse]] scandals. The [[Democrat Party]], [[2016 Clinton campaign|Clinton campaign]], and [[Obama administration]] illegally [[collude]]d with foreign actors to interfere in the [[2016 presidential election]], and the [[FISA Court]] ruled the basis of the [[Mueller investigation]] was invalid.
[[File:Stop the coup.jpg|right|250px]]
After the failure of the [[Mueller office|Mueller investigation]] to depose [[President Donald Trump]], in September 2019 [[Democrat]]s manufactured evidence to begin an "impeachment inquiry". Under new House Rules adopted by Democrats in December 2018, [[due process]] rights were ignored and Republicans excluded from questioning witnesses while [[Articles of Impeachment]] were being drafted. The timing of the impeachment inquiry was to blunt information coming out regarding the [[fraud]]ulent [[counterintelligence]] investigation opened up on the [[2016 Trump campaign]], and the [[Russia collusion hoax]] perpetrated by the [[Obama]] [[intelligence community]] in [[collusion]] with the [[Democratic National Committee]], the [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign]], foreign governments and intelligence agencies to meddle in American media, public opinion, sway elections and attack American [[democracy]].

Candidate Donald Trump had questioned why the [[United States]] was shouldering the burden of [[European Union]] defense costs while Europeans enjoyed free [[healthcare]] and Americans did not, and why [[China]] was taking over $500 billion in American wealth out of the country annually by [[trade deficit]]s while American communities were being destroyed.<ref>$500 billion = roughly 2.5% of [[GDP]]; under the eight years of the [[Obama administration]] GDP growth never exceeded 2%. America was becoming increasingly impoverished by design.But he roots of this impoverishment ("leveling the playing field") by trade policy pre-dated Obama's election.</ref> The [[military industrial complex]] and [[corporate]] [[globalist]]s considered Trump a threat to their security.

The alleged "whistleblower" filed a questionable hearsay complaint in an area outside the statutory purview of the intelligence community inspector general. The same day, August 12, 2019, the Congressional Research Service (CRS), a supposedly "non-partisan" research service that provides legal analysis to committees and Members of both houses, issued an updated version of its report, ''The Impeachment Process in the House of Representatives''.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/429229553/Pelosi-116th-Congress-Impeachment-Rules</ref> "Coincidentally," six weeks later the CRS again issued a faulty report, using no statutory citations, informing Members that hearsay evidence was acceptable under the Whistleblower Act just two days before the alleged "whistleblower" complaint was received by House Intelligence Committee.

The Democrats so-called "impeachment inquiry" denied fundamental constitutional [[due process]] rights.

While the impeachment trial neared a vote, Democrats and fake news media were more obsessed with removing President Trump from office than with preparing for the [[Covid-19 pandemic]] which was known to be transmissible between humans. When President Trump took action to form the coronavirus Task Force and shut down travel from the epicenter of the deadly viral outbreak, [[Leftist]]s called President Trump "[[xenophobic]]".

Dave Chappelle

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-1000

'''David Khari Webber "Dave" Chappelle''' (born August 24, 1973) is an American award-winning comedian and actor. Chappelle has been doing comedy since 1988, and has 11 stand-up specials. He married Elaine Mendoza Erfe in 2001, and they have two children. Chappelle is a [[Muslim]], converted to [[Islam]] in 1991.

In the era of [[left-wing]] [[censorship]], Chappelle is willing to mock [[political correctness]], [[Social Justice Warrior]]s, and [[transgenderism]]. Chappelle is often criticized, badmouthed, and smeared by liberals based on his unapologetic attitude towards the [[woke]] mob. Every time he mocks radical leftist insanity in one of his specials, outrage is sparked amongst liberals, who try time and time again to get him [[cancel culture|cancelled]] or deplatformed, but to no avail, as Chappelle only continues to prosper, likely even more due to the outrage.<ref>https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59ngpb/you-can-definitely-skip-dave-chappelles-new-netflix-special-sticks-and-stones</ref><ref>https://www.advocate.com/media/2016/11/06/dave-chappelle-has-some-problem-lgbt-activists</ref><ref>https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/11/entertainment/dave-chappelle-netflix/index.html</ref>

A great source of irony surrounding these recurring situations is that despite causing this outrage among the radical left, Chappelle is quite liberal himself. He has voiced support for [[same-sex "marriage"]], [[Andrew Yang]]'s presidential campaign, the [[Black Lives Matter]] movement, and more, as well as attacking [[President Trump]] and his supporters, once calling them [[Ku Klux Klan]] members, and ridiculing opposition to [[mask mandate]]s. Chappelle says "ever since [[Charlie Kirk ]] got murdered, I feel better".<ref>https://x.com/mattvanswol/status/2119398535221112927?s=46</ref> Chappelle often engages in divisive and untrue rhetoric of [[systemic racism]] in American society, claiming that life as a black American is extremely oppressive and difficult; it is to note that Chappelle is said to have a net worth of around $50 million.

During his Nov 7, 2026 set in New York City, Chappelle sparked backlash by telling the audience, "Ever since that guy [[Charlie Kirk]] got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but... I feel better".<ref>[https://thehill.com/media/6207297-erika-kirk-dave-chappelle-joke-charlie-kirk-beyond-disgusting/amp/ Kirk finds Dave Chappelle's joke about husband's murder 'beyond disgusting'].

Market

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-1000

[[Image:Market.jpg|thumb|The North Market, Columbus, Ohio]]
A '''market''', in [[economics]], describes a situation in which sellers of a [[product]] or [[service]] interact with [[buyer]]s in order to effect transactions that are amenable to both parties. The [[Supply and demand|Law of Supply and Demand]] explains how [[price]]s are determined in such situations.

There are many [[politics|political]] implications involved in real-world markets, as it is often thought that interfering in the free movement of goods and services is beneficial to society (or a country or locale) as a whole. Opinions can widely differ, however, on which such [[regulation]]s are justified, and which ones stifle the [[economy]] by interfering with [[free trade]] and its concomitant creation of ever-increasing wealth for all.

Special pleading

2026-11-09T17:05:52Z

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-1000

''' '''Special pleading''' is a [[Logical fallacy|fallacy]] of informal [[logic]] whereby a party to a controversy exempts himself (or one whom he has a special interest in protecting) from a criticism that he applies to others, without adequate justification for that exemption.

== Argument structure ==
The logical structure of a special pleading typically follows this form:

# Person X criticizes opponent O on grounds G.
# X could be criticized on the same grounds.
# However, X is exempt from G.<ref name=Nizkor>The Nizkor Project, [http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/special-pleading.html Fallacy: Special Pleading] (retrieved April 9, 2007)</ref><ref name=Damer>T. Edward Damer, ''Attacking Faulty Reasoning: A Practical Guide to Fallacy-Free Arguments'', 3rd ed., Wadsworth, 1995, pp. 122-124. Retrieved April 9, 2007, from [http://www.fallacyfiles.org/specplea.html The Fallacy Files]</ref>

== Types of exemptions claimed ==
One engaged in special pleading might claim exemption from grounds G above in a variety of ways:

=== Offering an Irrelevant Difference ===
The usual form of special pleading is to cite a [[distinction without a difference|counter-ground that is simply irrelevant]].<ref name=Nizkor/><ref name=Thompson>Bruce Thompson, [http://www.cuyamaca.edu/bruce.thompson/Fallacies/specialpleading.asp Special Pleading], in [http://www.cuyamaca.edu/bruce.thompson/Fallacies/intro_fallacies.asp Bruce Thompson's Fallacy Pages] (retrieved April 9, 2007)</ref> The irrelevant ground might be either an alleged special circumstance<ref name=Nizkor/> or a unique or at least unshared perspective or credential.<ref name=Thompson/> "How dare you criticize a (wo)man of my talent/education/training" is a crude example of the special-credential plea.

=== Ignoring Unfavorable Evidence ===
The other form of special pleading involves simply [[cherry picking|ignoring evidence unfavorable to one's position]].<ref name=Heritage>The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th ed., [http://www.bartleby.com/61/43/S0614300.html Definition of special pleading] (retrieved April 9, 2007)</ref> One engaged in this form of special pleading concentrates only on one aspect of an issue, or a subset of aspects favorable to the person making the claim. Falsification of evidence is not involved here, but ''dissemblance'' might be.

== Examples ==
*An adherent of a non-[[Christian]] religion might criticize Christianity on the basis of alleged difficulties in the [[Bible]], while explaining away difficulties of at least the same level in his own religion's holy book by saying that his own holy book needs to be "interpreted correctly." Without adequate justification for applying different rules of interpretation to the two texts, that person engages in special pleading.
*An [[atheist]] might argue that a Creator needs a Creator, who needs a Creator, [[infinite regression|and so on]], whereas the universe can simply exist. Without an adequate reason why the universe can simply exist, while [[God]] cannot, he engages in special pleading.
*Liberals hold conservatives to stringent purity tests but exempt other liberals, such as [[Jimmy Kimmel]].

== What Special Pleading Is Not ==
It is possible to hold different people to different standards without engaging in special pleading if a relevant difference allows it.<ref name=Nizkor/> For example, it is not necessarily special pleading to exempt a child from standards applied to adults.

== Related Concept ==
In [[law]], the introduction of an [[affirmative defense]] or other special circumstance intended to extenuate a [[crime]] or a [[tort]], instead of denying that the crime or tort occurred or that the defendant did the deed, is often called a special pleading.<ref name=Heritage/> [[Self-defense]] is the classic special plea in law. But this would not normally qualify as a special pleading in logic. Under the laws of most nation-states today, self-defense ''is'' directly relevant to a judgment of guilt for certain crimes, especially [[murder]].

Denialism

2026-11-09T17:04:50Z

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-1000

'''Denialism''' is a mechanism which people or organizations employ in order to avoid inconvenient or uncomfortable [[truth]]s.

It refers to the choice of "denying reality" in order to champion a claim or [[theory]].

One of the most well-known examples of denialism concerns the assertion that the extermination of Jews (see [[Holocaust denial]]) during the [[Second World War]] never in fact happened.

Another example is the ex-President of [[South Africa]], Thabo Mbeki, who argued against the scientific consensus that [[HIV]] caused [[AIDS]]. This led to policies preventing thousands of HIV-positive mothers in South Africa from receiving anti-retrovirals. It's estimated these policies led to the loss of more than 330,000 lives.<ref>[http://journals.lww.com/aidsonline/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=2002&issue=16004&article=00007&type=fulltext Denial and defiance: a socio-political analysis of AIDS in South Africa]</ref>

Still another example is so-called "[[climate change]] denialism", which "[[global warming]]/climate change" alarmists throw around cavalierly as an accusation against skeptics of "global warming/climate change". The [[environmental alarmism|alarmists]] who make such accusations attempt to conflate "climate change denialism" with actual [[Holocaust denial]], which is highly offensive to [[Holocaust]] survivors and their families and could be considered a form of [[anti-Semitism]], as those making accusations of "climate change denial" trivialize the Holocaust<ref>[http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/24784 Environmentalists trivialize the Holocaust]</ref> by deliberately daring to make such comparisons and then insensitively using them as accusations without considering their words or how they will affect others.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2012/05/16/giving-the-global-warming-bully-a-free-pass/ Giving The Global Warming Bully A Free Pass]</ref> When called out on their tactics, the "climate change" alarmists become defensive and self-righteous as they act offended while they dismissively accuse skeptics of "hysterical outrage" (a case of [[liberal projection|projection]] on the alarmists' part, as it is they themselves engaging in hysterical outrage over their offensive tactics being taken apart and called out) and, as liberals generally tend to do, refuse to take responsibility for their ill-considered comments.

==The five most common characteristics of denialism==
In order to assert their position and back up their claims, there are five commonly used characteristics often seen in the arguments or reasons given by those who are engaged in denialism.

*[[Conspiracy]] theories
*Fake experts
*Impossible expectations of what research can deliver
*[[Cherry picking]]
*Misrepresentation and [[logical fallacies]]<ref>[http://www.skepticalscience.com/5-characteristics-of-scientific-denialism.html 5 characteristics of scientific denialism]</ref>

Individuals with [[narcissistic personality disorder]] often practice the [[psychology|psychological]] [[defense mechanism]] of denialism.<ref>[https://guilfordjournals.com/doi/abs/10.1521/psyc.2013.76.1.32 Defense Mechanisms in Schizotypal, Borderline, Antisocial, and Narcissistic Personality Disorders]</ref>

Corruption

2026-11-09T17:03:49Z

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-1000

''''''Corruption''' is, in politics, business, and the legal system, abusing one's position to enrich or otherwise advance oneself or one's friends or relatives. Bribery and [[nepotism]] are common forms of corruption. More subtle is the failure to perform civic duty (i.e., dereliction), or to allow personal opinions or priorities to overcome national needs (as has become the case in federal courts under [[Barack Obama]] in recent years).

Corruption is found in every part of the political spectrum, as soon as people get power that they can abuse. As the great conservative historian Lord Acton (1834–1902) explained, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."<ref>see [http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/288200.html "The Phrase Finder"]</ref>

In [[morality]], it refers to the subversion of moral principle for ulterior motives.

[[File:Puck112188.jpg|thumb|550px|Do newspaper expose or endorse corruption? Nasty little printing devils spew forth from the [[Hoe press]] in the cartoon from ''Puck'' magazine, Nov. 21, 1888]]

==Founding Fathers==
As Bailyn (1968) demonstrated, fear of corruption by the conservative forces in Britain and America was the single most important impulse for the [[Founding Fathers]] to distrust the royal government, embrace [[republicanism]] and insist on civic virtue for all citizens. Threats to free government, most Americans (and some British "country party" critics) believed, lurked everywhere, but nowhere more dangerously than in the designs of ministers in office to aggrandize power by the corrupt use [[lobbyist|influence]], and by this means ultimately to destroy the balance of the [[Constitution]]. "Corruption!" was as universal a cry in the colonies as it was in England, and with it came the same belief that [[tyranny]], already dominant over most of the earth, was continuing to spread its menace and was threatening even that greatest bastion of [[liberty]], England itself. In the colonies the executive was legally far stronger than in England, but circumstances - such as inflexible royal instructions, encroachments on the governor's patronage, the more democratic nature of colonial politics, the impermanence of the governor's tenure, and the possibility of going over the governor's heads and appealing directly to authorities in England - worked to reduce radically the influence of the colonial governors. With an indeterminate leadership, an unstable economic structure, and the exertion by colonial governments of creative power unknown to 18th-century England, the colonial political system was troubled, contentious, even explosive, evoking, as it did, both the belief that faction was seditious and the fear that the government was corrupt and threatened the survival of liberty. English constitutional theory offered a mode of comprehension of such an inflamed, anomalous politics; and it is this mode of understanding that forms the background of the American Revolution.<ref>Bernard Bailyn, ''The Origin of American Politics'' (1968)</ref>

Corruption was thus the great evil the Founding Fathers confronted. When Britain escalated its defense of corruption in 1773-75, it was time to break free with the [[American Revolution]].

===Pursuit of civic virtue===
To overcome the temptations of corruption—such as luxury and bribery—in their own lives, the Founding Fathers cultivated the virtue of disinterestedness. That is, they made a conscious effort not to be the creature of their financial interests, and not give any sign to the public that they sought luxury or bribes. The goal was to be impartial, concerned only for the public good, not the advancement of friends or, still less, of party.

The Founding Fathers sought "Honor"—freedom from corruption, and a positive devotion to civic virtue. These were key elements of [[Republicanism]], and the Founding Fathers made republicanism the core value of the American system of government.

Even personal shame and humiliation were preferable to a tarnished honor or the hint of corruption. When Treasury Secretary [[Alexander Hamilton]] was accused of corruption for making secret payments to a man named James Reynolds, Hamilton revealed he had been set up and was paying blackmail to Reynolds following an affair with Mrs. Reynolds. Duels over honor were common in the era—Hamilton was killed in one, as was Hamilton's son.

Corruption continues to be the greatest threat to [[republicanism]], and is a red flag for both parties in the U.S., even though both parties have been guilty.

===Presidential elections===
Corruption is most often an issue in state and city elections, but it has been a central issue in several presidential campaigns.

In 1828, [[Andrew Jackson]] campaigned against the "corrupt bargain" that cost him the election in 1824, when [[John Quincy Adams]] and [[Henry Clay]] joined forces to make Adams president and Clay Secretary of State. Jackson was elected in a landslide, but historians downplay his allegations.

In 1876, Democrat [[Samuel J. Tilden]] crusaded against the scandals of the Grant Administration, though the GOP candidate was [[Rutherford Hayes]], who was squeaky clean. The result was a disputed election that was eventually awarded to Hayes.

The new Republican party in 1860 publicized corruption in the [[James Buchanan]] administration in congressional reports, Republican pamphlets and newspapers between 1857–60, especially Navy contract frauds, use of Federal monies to win elections, and defalcations by the New York City postmaster. To safeguard themselves from similar attacks, the Republican National Convention bypassed [[William Seward]] as a presidential nominee because of his suspicious links with lobbyist [[Thurlow Weed]], and named 'Honest Abe' Lincoln instead. Lincoln's record for honesty appears to have been almost as important as his stand on slavery and slavery extension as the reason for his nomination. Lincoln won a landslide.<ref>David E. Meerse, Buchanan, Corruption and the Election of 1860. Civil War History; 1966 12(2): 116-131</ref>

In 1952, [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] crusaded against "Korea, Communism and Corruption" (the Korean war, the Communist threat, and widespread corruption in the Truman Administration). He won a landslide.

==Political machines==
Political scientists have compared the conditions that gave rise to urban machines in the United States (such as the [[Tweed Ring]] in New York City in the 1860s) to conditions today in Africa and Asia. Both types of machines have been organized in societies undergoing a transition and seeking personal or family rewards rather than seeking national goals or civic duty. Both kinds of machines overcame the fragmentation of government power, the social fragmentation created by urbanization, and the poverty of the people. Patronage has been the key element in maintaining control in both situations. Perhaps the machine as an organization works best at a subnational level where the social structure is more appropriate for machine development.<ref>Scott (1969)</ref>
In the [[Progressive Era]] in the early 20th century, reformers determined to rewrite the laws to eliminate corruption in American politics. Assuming that the people were good and the politicians corrupt, they adopted means to enhance grass roots political activism, including the [[direct primary]], direct election of senators (instead of election by the legislature), the [[Recall election|recall]], initiative, and referendum. They tried to eliminate [[saloons]] and regulated financial contributions to politicians and parties. Seeing women as purer than men, they enacted [[woman suffrage]], and also reduced the voting powers of groups seen as susceptible to corruption, especially blacks and illiterate immigrants.

[[William Allen White]] was a leader of the Progressives in the 1900-1940 era who sought a viable moral order that would provide the nation with a sense of community. White recognized the powerful forces of corruption but called for slow, remedial change having its origin in the middle class. In the 'Heart of a Fool' (1918), White fully developed the idea that reform remained the soundest ally of property rights. He felt that the Spanish–American War fostered political unity, and believed that a moral victory and an advance in civilization would be compensation for the devastation of World War I. White concluded that democracy in the New Era of the 1920s inevitably lacked direction, and the indifference to corruption of the [[New Deal]] baffled him. Nevertheless, he clung to his vision of a cooperative society until his death in 1944.<ref>Richard W. Resh, "A Vision in Emporia: William Allen White's Search for Community," ''Midcontinent American Studies Journal'' 1969 10(2): 19-35</ref>

===Prohibition===
There have been many grass-roots crusades against corruption in American history. The most successful—for a while—was the dry crusade to close saloons because they were the seat of corruption in local politics, and the ruination (through drunkenness, domestic violence and wasteful spending) of the family. Led by the [[Anti-Saloon league]], the drys mobilized their forces and carried the day in World War I. [[Prohibition]] represented the fulfillment of the Progressives' desire to end corruption, elevate the masses, and use governmental power to correct social evils. World War I provided a second factor. It added patriotism to the struggle against liquor by pointing out that prohibition saved food needed by soldiers and America's Allies, produced better soldiers and more efficient workers, and struck at an industry controlled by men of German background.

==Recent examples==
In 1969, Chief Justice [[Earl Warren]], discovering that Associate Justice [[Abe Fortas]], a leading liberal, had been taking payoffs from a criminal, forced Fortas to resign.

In 1974 Republican [[Richard Nixon]] facing impeachment for his guilt in the [[Watergate]] affair, resigned the presidency. Conservatives had supported Nixon but when the "smoking gun" (a tape showing Nixon involved in the coverup) was released, conservatives led by Senator [[Barry Goldwater]] told him to quit. Nixon's Vice President [[Spiro T. Agnew]] had been forced out a year earlier for taking bribes.

In 2006 Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff went to federal prison for his corruption crimes, revolving around use of Indian money to buy favors for Congressmen to vote for casinos.

In December 2008, the Illinois governor [[Rod Blagojevich]], a Democrat, was impeached and removed by the state legislature on corruption charges, and also given a criminal indictment in federal court. He had attempted to sell [[Barack Obama]]'s vacant senate seat to the highest bidder, and threatened to withhold funding from a children's hospital.<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=40593</ref>

Corruption is particularly prevalent among liberals within the [[judiciary]], who have been known to embrace and favor criminality, illegally persecute law-abiding citizens and legislate from the bench (even though they do not have the power to pass laws themselves). Legislation from the bench has, in particular, led liberal activist judges, acting on political motivation and/or personal feelings, to illegally impose [[same-sex marriage|same-sex "marriage"]] on states and, in the case of the liberal judges on the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] with [[Obergefell v. Hodges]], the entire country, as if it were "law" (with some of those judges later found to be in conflict of interest when they disclosed being homosexual themselves, as [[Vaughn Walker]] did, or when they were discovered to have officiated same-sex "marriages", as [[Elena Kagan]] and [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]] did).

Abdul El-Sayed

2026-11-08T20:43:40Z

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-2000

'''Abdulrahman Mohamed El‑Sayed''' is the 2026 [[Democrat]] elected in [[Michigan]] [[Senate]], a [[swing state]] that [[Donald Trump]] won in the [[2024 presidential election]].

El-Sayed will become the first practicing [[Muslim]] U.S. Senator,<ref>[[Barack Obama]], who has campaigned extensively for El-Sayed, served as a U.S. Senator from January 3, 2005, to November 16, 2008. ''See'' [[Obama's Religion]].</ref> and could become an outspoken critic of his own party's leadership in that chamber.

Ahead of the primaries, El-Sayed's poll numbers predicted he would win by a wider margin than the tallied votes, suggesting that some Democrat voters lied to pollsters in saying they would vote for him and then did not do so. On the eve of [[Election Day]], polling shows him with a 3.5% lead over his [[Republican]] opponent [[Mike Rogers]].

Michigan hosts the largest and densest concentration of Arab and Muslim Americans in the United States, anchored primarily in Metro [[Detroit]]'s Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Key focal points of this community include Dearborn, the first Arab-majority city in the U.S., and major institutions like the Islamic Center of America.

The Arab-Muslim population rallied behind El Sayed, as have [[progressives]], including Sen. [[Bernie Sanders]] (D-VT).

[[File:El Sayed - Muslims hate you.jpg|thumb|“You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims hate you,” Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed[https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2018/05/10/islamophobia-charge-rocks-michigan-governor-debate/34765749/]]]

[[File:El Sayed for boys in girls' locker rooms.png|thumb|Abdul El-Sayed argues that boys should be allowed in girls’ locker rooms "because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway."]]

[[File:Free palestine chants by El Sayed Arab-Muslim crowds.jpg|thumb|Free palestine chants by El Sayed Arab-Muslim crowds[https://www.foxnews.com/video/6407891482112]]]

El-Sayed previously lost the 2018 Democratic primary for governor to Whitmer.

He rose to prominence as [[Detroit]]’s health officer, and later led Wayne County’s health department.
A fitness buff, he can bench press 315 pounds. He uses his workouts and [[social media]] to connect well with [[Gen Z]] voters.

After Sen. [[John Fetterman]] (D-PA) sharply attacked [[progressive]] (ProgRacist) candidate [[Graham Platner]] and generally opposed, often with vitriol, progressive principles, El-Sayed said in a leaked recording of a call with donors:
{{cquote|If I win … well y’all came at me so now I get to come at you, and you know, primarying people like John Fetterman, I have no problem to do that.

When subsequently asked about his statement during a political debate, El-Sayed did not retract or apologize for it.

In Oct 2026, El-Sayed became visibly angry when asked about his family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, of which his sister asserted their mother was a member.

After propagandist, radical [[liberal]] Kristen Welker of [[NBC]] fawned over El-Sayed and simply moved on when he briefly denied any connection to the MB, Tom Llamas, from the same network, grilled him about it. El-Sayed scoffed before answering nervously.

So Welker on ''Meet the Press'' Sunday was like, "Let's clear the air. Are you guys Muslim Brotherhood or not?" And he goes, "We're not." She goes, "Let's move on."

And I'm watching it. You know how much I watch the Sunday shows. I'm screaming at the television, "We know that the sister said this, Kristen." So what happened? Tom Llamas, ''Nightly News'' guy, he goes there. Makes her look dumb. Makes her like she didn't do her research makes her look unprepared and confronts him.

I like that it was combative. He's talking about your mother. It's awkward. Your mother is Muslim Brotherhood. It's not hearsay. Your sister is on the record.

But to be fair to him, the mom didn't raise him. They split up when he was 3. He was raised by his stepmom. So he's like Muslim Little Brotherhood.

It's not all there, but when you add that to the fact that he backs Sharia law and that his campaign is funded by Islamic groups that are unindicted co-conspirators, and he's tight with Piker, he has got a house in the Middle East, and he adores Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood who is in prison for rape in France.

Would Abdul pass a background check? Maybe, maybe not. I'm leaning maybe not.}}

{{Cquote|Look who is talkin'!

El-Sayed’s hypocrisy is hard to ignore:

after accusing Haley Stevens of dual loyalty over her support for Israel, and bashing [[AIPAC]], he suddenly (Oct/2026) becomes defensive when asked about his own views on the Muslim Brotherhood.

If he believes politicians should be held accountable for their affiliations, loyalties, and political connections, that standard must apply equally to everyone—including himself.

You cannot demand transparency and accountability from others while treating legitimate questions about yourself as off-limits.

That is not principled scrutiny; it is a double standard.

Typical el Sayed.

But it's far worse, because the Muslim Brotherhood questions are very concerning, given Sharia-fanatic Islamist El-Sayed Palestine first. As some noted, he cares more about Gaza than Michigan. Not to mention his vile rationalization response when an Islamic Hezbollah inspired Arab immigrant targeted 140 toddlers in his State March 12, 2026.}}

<ref name=chaos>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLVK6Ayq1JM CHAOS Between Democrats Throws Major Wrench in Leftist Midterm Takeover Plans | Ep. 99].
Author: Stu and Dave Do America. Blaze TV, Nov 2, 2026.
<blockquote>Haley Stevens now endorsing Mike Rogers, the Republican, amid Michigan Democratic feud. Uh, this is, so this kind of came out of nowhere.
We'll tell you the backstory here in a second, but again, this is the Democrat who won like 48% of the vote in the primary.
So, you know, has a big audience in Michigan. People wanted a lot of people wanted her to win. She just, a few days before the election, goes on her social media and says this:

"Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for US Senate, Abdul said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away. And he's right. And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don't belong in Abdul's campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker who gets trafficked on our college campuses. A dear friend of mine earlier today was saying that education is on the ballot and she's absolutely right and what our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganers is not hate and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now. So, I am just one person. I love this state. As some of you know, I've uh, you know, run a campaign saying that it was a love letter to Michigan, and I'm here to declare who we are as Michiganers. This is Phil Hart's seat for the US Senate. This is the conscience of the Senate right now and our Michigan moment. And I'm just letting you know where I am. I'm still a very proud Democrat. I still very much uh believe in everything I've voted for and said and I've worked really hard and will continue uh to do so and all the ways life's opportunities afford. Godspeed and love you all so much."

-- It's a really shocking moment, Dave. An endorsement like that, especially done on one she seems to be at an 80° angle going down a hill and has put the emergency brake on for some reason.

-- Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah, as a Michigander, I definitely got to say that I got to agree with her there. I think it's good that she's coming out against the party and uh you know, I like her positions. [...]

But I know she does have a big fan base and I agree with her. I'm glad that she did actually come out against him because as I've been saying for a long time, it's not a good idea. If you look in the comments sections of even the people supporting him, it's all very just anti. How to say it. It's just anti-white and the people that go are voting for him and it's just kind of it just comes off very ignorant and racist.

And I think the problem is we do have a serious issues in Michigan. So many people have been in office that have done absolutely nothing. It needs to flip. The Democrats have had it for way too long.
I was raised in a very democratic area... I mean it's Michigan. You have unions. You have all kinds of stuff. There's a lot of things I believe.
But the idea of El Sayed, it's absurd to me how many people are backing this guy just because it seems to be like a middle finger to Trump and it's so bizarre and stupid, because it has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to do with him.

-- Yeah. There's a lot of people and this is certainly true for Texas as well, where people are like trying to prove the point against Donald Trump that they're upset about this or that and the way they're going to or maybe it's Paxton.
And then the way they're going to like express that frustration is to make their own lives miserable in their states by electing people who are awful.
So I don't know how exactly that proves that point, but apparently it does to a lot of people.

-- No, they do. Like they're so angry at Trump that they want to elect a homosexual Lego man into the office in Texas. And I think it's bizarre to me to go like, well, let's just ruin everything because we're upset about a war or we're upset about what and I understand that people are, but to destroy your own state seems so asinine to me.

-- Yeah, it's bizarre. El Sayed did respond to this. I mean, it's a big story, right?
Like she, this is a Democratic congresswoman who has the voice of a big chunk of that state. She's more moderate than El-Sayed.. A lot of it is the way you play this game is the people who voted for Stevens, right? They might not be comfortable with El Sayed. They can't stand El Sayed. You have to get them comfortable.
The same thing, by the way, we should note kind of happened in Texas where Cornin who lost the primary didn't would not come across and say, "Hey, you should vote for Paxton." And that's been a real problem for Paxton in the state, because -- yeah, it has. You can't get those voters over. Like .. you need a permission structure, right, to create that.
Hey, I really hated this guy a month ago. How can I change my mind?
Well, the guy I liked is okay with it. So, I think I'm okay. The permission structure here again very, very late in the campaign after 40% of the vote has already come in, so it might not be... that might not make that much of a difference. But it's a big deal here.

Let me give you the response, Dave, from El Sayed, who is just among the douchiest people I've ever seen in my entire life. And I don't mean in politics ever...

-- I just think that this whole woke ideology of trying to push people out just because you think they're different is ridiculous. And not digging into this guy's past, like the more stuff that comes out with him, it's like, he might as well just have a bomb strapped to him at this point for everything that's coming out.

-- It's at this point where we're like, you know, if they discovered a photo of him buying the ticket for Muhammad Ata, it would be deemed off limits [laughter] for us to ask about.
Like it's just, again, I don't know what you know, his family has some weird freaking history. I will say that.
-- And he won't answer for it. And like the answer is always like, I can't believe you dare to ask me about the fact that my sister tweeted that she she was in the Muslim Brotherhood.
It's like, well, of course they're going to ask you about that. He has no answer for it. And everyone just kind of lets him off the hook which is by the way I would just note not how things operate when it's a Republican that has difficult questions to answer...</blockquote></ref>
His campaign attracts support from people motivated primarily by opposition to Donald Trump.

- Some of his supporters display what the hosts characterize as anti-white rhetoric.

- His political positions and associations are alienating more moderate Democrats.

- Questions surrounding his family's alleged connections and past statements have not been adequately addressed.
Especially involving his sister's alleged social-media expression of support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

El-Sayed should answer legitimate questions about these matters rather than dismissing them.

==Federal Indictment Exposes Alleged Antisemitic Campaign of Terror Targeting Michigan’s Jewish Community==

In Nov, 2026, 12 "pro-[[Palestinian]]" activists have been federally indicted for an alleged campaign of antisemitic intimidation and threats targeting Michigan’s Jewish community and University of Michigan officials.<ref>{{cite news |title=Former El-Sayed campaign worker indicted over antisemitic campaign targeting Michigan Jews |url=https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/435588 |work=Israel National News |date=November 3, 2026}}</ref>

Key points:

- Former political campaign employee implicated: Mariam Odeh, 24, previously worked for approximately two weeks on Abdul El-Sayed’s 2024 Michigan Senate campaign, earning nearly $750. The campaign confirmed her brief employment.

- 12 people indicted: Odeh was among eight initially indicted. Federal prosecutors subsequently added four more defendants.

- Alleged acts of intimidation and violence: Prosecutors say the group:

- Vandalized university board members’ homes.
- Placed fake corpses on homeowners’ lawns.
- Spray-painted anti-Israel slogans outside the home of the university's former president.
- Smashed windows and threw jars containing noxious chemicals into family homes.
- Posted videos of some attacks with the threatening message, "You cannot hide."

- Corporate vandalism: Odeh was also allegedly involved in a 2024 incident at a Rolls-Royce Solutions America facility in Detroit, where activists reportedly padlocked doors and painted pro-Palestinian and pro-intifada slogans.

- Federal charges: Odeh faces a charge of conspiracy to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce, carrying a potential maximum sentence of five years.

- Political connection: The article highlights Odeh's former employment with Abdul El-Sayed's Senate campaign. It does not allege that El-Sayed participated in or knew about the alleged criminal activities.

The case involves serious allegations of an organized campaign of intimidation against Jewish community members and individuals associated with the University of Michigan's connections to Israel. The indictment also creates a political complication for Abdul El-Sayed because one of the accused briefly worked on his Senate campaign.

On November 6, 2026 (days after the 2026 midterm elections), El-Sayed made the statement while speaking at the CONNECT Arab America Empowerment Summit in Virginia. He then contrasted Washington, D.C., as the capital of the United States with Michigan as the “capital of Arab America.” His remarks generated criticism from conservative commentators and social media users.

Michigan has residents of many backgrounds, including Arab Americans, African Americans, Europeans, Asians, and others.

- Does El-Sayed see himself as representing every Michigan resident?
- Is he prioritizing the interests of one ethnic constituency?
- Does this language promote national unity or ethnic political divisions?

Conservative critics view El-Sayed's Muslim identity, political positions on Israel, and relationships with controversial "activists."
Historically, Dearborn has been widely known as the unofficial capital of Arab America. This is not a new designation invented by El-Sayed. But it raises eyebrows about 'political Islam', given his previous statement.

An investigation examined the political fundraising network supporting Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign. Drawing on research by Canary Mission and campaign-finance disclosures, the article identified overlapping donors and approximately 14 political action committees and super PACs supporting El-Sayed and other progressive candidates critical of Israel and AIPAC. It highlighted financial connections involving American Priorities, Unity & Justice Fund, CAIR Action, Fighting for Michigan, and other political organizations. The report identified several major donors and described transfers between affiliated political committees, while noting that the organizations maintained separate structures. Representatives of American Priorities and Unity & Justice Fund disputed the report's characterization of their political activities and defended their positions on Israel and AIPAC. The article questioned how the network's substantial independent political spending related to El-Sayed's claims that his campaign was funded by grassroots supporters rather than corporate interests.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kredo |first=Adam |title=Abdul El-Sayed's Bagmen: Inside the Shadowy Network of Anti-Israel Donors, PACs, and Super PACs Funding His 'Grassroots' Campaign |url=https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayeds-bagmen-inside-the-shadowy-network-of-anti-israel-donors-pacs-and-super-pacs-funding-his-grassroots-campaign/ |work=Washington Free Beacon |date=November 2, 2026}}</ref>

It also documented Charara's appearances alongside El-Sayed and other political figures at events in the Dearborn area, raising questions about his political associations and diplomatic activities.

'''Arab VS black: Ethnic and racial tensions in Detroit'''

Ethnic and racial tensions involving Detroit's African-American and Arab-American communities became a subject of public discussion during Michigan's 2026 U.S. Senate campaign. An incident involving two women, one African-American and the other Arab-American, following a vehicle collision in Detroit's Warrendale neighborhood prompted allegations of harassment, racist language, and threats. Detroit police and elected officials addressed the incident on September 18, 2026, emphasizing that the alleged conduct should not be attributed to either entire ethnic community. Officials also called for greater dialogue and cooperation between Black and Arab-American residents.<ref>{{cite news

The tensions also became a subject of political discussion in the Michigan Senate race involving Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Media coverage examined whether divisions and concerns among Arab-American, African-American, and Jewish voters could affect his campaign. Issues included El-Sayed's criticism of Israeli government policies, his outreach to different communities, and concerns among some voters about representation, antisemitism, and the Israel-Gaza conflict.<ref>{{cite news

But there is an ad running that tells voters they can’t afford groceries because the United States gives so much money to Israel.

You can disagree with how the United States spends money abroad. But telling hungry families that the Jewish state is the reason they are suffering is wrong and shameful.
Blaming Jews for people’s problems is an old story. Anybody who has read the last century of history knows where it leads. It is a dark pathway.
This ad is anti-Jewish hate and should come down immediately. Abdul El-Sayed should denounce it today.}}

Among the political figures criticizing the advertisement was Democratic congresswoman Haley Stevens, who described it as "fearmongering" and rejected its attribution of American economic difficulties to Israel. Representative Dan Goldman called on El-Sayed to explicitly condemn the advertisement, describing it as dangerously antisemitic. Former Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison criticized the advertisement for inflaming divisions and undermining El-Sayed's efforts to build a coalition. Former congressman Joe Walsh also condemned the advertisement, describing it as disgusting, dishonest, and antisemitic.<ref>{{cite news |title=Case study in antisemitism: Ad supporting El-Sayed draws fire from Jewish leaders |work=The Times of Israel |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/case-study-in-antisemitism-ad-supporting-el-sayed-draws-fire-from-jewish-leaders/}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Dan Goldman: El-Sayed antisemitic ad 'full of shit' |work=Jewish Insider |url=https://jewishinsider.com/2026/10/dan-goldman-el-sayed-antisemitic-ad-full-of-shit/}}</ref><ref name=mediaite/>

Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive officer of the Anti-Defamation League, described the advertisement as a "case study in antisemitism".

Conversely, the decision provoked immediate political blowback from Democratic leadership.

<blockquote>
Hailey endorsement gives permission for other Democrats to vote Republican. Local Michigan Democrats have already started.

-- Some Detroiters have said,

-- [Lady]: "Listen, if Kamala Harris walked down the street holding his hand, I still would not vote for him. Now, will she and President Obama be able to, you know, sway a few? Sure."

-- But not you? [Laughter]

-- [Lady]: "I can think for myself."

-- Jesse: What goes around comes around. It's not like Abdul hasn't gone against the grain. A couple of years ago, he called Obama a warmonger with a -- but Hailey can't speak her mind? Whatever happened to the Big Tent? The tent is big enough for Abdul but not Stevens? We told you once you let them in, it would be a purge. A moderate white-fee people congressman from a Rust Belt swing state just lowered the tent to make room for a Muslim socialist who backs reparations and hates fireworks on the Fourth of July. And Chuck Schumer, the so-called Palestinian, sided with the radical Muslim. It's because Democrats see the real threat as MAGA.

-- [CNN's Anderson Cooper]: "Why is it okay now, why can you afford now to give MAGA another Senate seat in November?"

-- [Stevens]: "Why is it okay to have the Democratic Party and a top nominee injecting this type of anger and lack of kindness?"

-- Jesse: Abdul has been courting voters at mosques where speakers have called America the House of Satan. His family is tied in with the Muslim Brotherhood, and he's playing footsie with a gay ayatollah. Who really betrayed who here?

-- My name is -- [Applause]

-- [Abdul to Muslim gathering]: "My name... -- that name is just as American as Mike or Donald or whatever JD stands for."

-- Jesse: It's not about his name. It's about what he stands for. And it's why Pelosi didn't want anything to do with him.

Note: I've preserved the wording as it appears in the photographs, including apparent transcription or printing errors. A few unclear phrases, particularly "That doesn't believe," "white-fee people," and "called Obama a warmonger with a --", may need checking against the original broadcast.

-- [Donny Deutsch to Nancy Pelosi]: "When you say Israel doesn't have the right to be a Jewish state, that's anti-Semitic as far as I'm concerned."

-- [Pelosi]: "Who says that?"

-- [Deutsch]: "Mamdani has said that, El-Sayed has said that. That doesn't believe they should be a Jewish state. That's concerning."

-- [Pelosi]: "No, it's more than concerning, it's wrong. It's wrong, and it is a reflection of the Democrats and the Congress of the United States. This new person, Michigan, we'll see if he gets elected to the Congress."

-- Jesse: Nancy is savvy enough to know that Abdul is nothing but trouble, but after that, they forced her to endorse him. She hadn't so far. Turns out, and I do have to say it, Nancy was right. And now she's like, "See, told you so." You know who really looks like a fool? Barack Obama. Put his legacy on the line for this guy. Now the rest of the party is running away like they smell a skunk. Democrats won't say it on TV, but behind the scenes, they are secretly hoping Abdul goes down.

-- [Stevens to Scott Jennings]: "At the end of the day, I made a decision, and, you know what? I'm hearing from a ton of people, and maybe they don't want to come forward, but I'm hearing from a ton of people, all over, who are agreeing. And are thanking me for just saying what I feel."

-- Jesse: The dam is breaking. Fetterman called him the Midwest Mamdani. Now Manchin is backing Rogers.

-- [Manchin]: "I know Mike. I've worked with Mike before. He's intelligent, he's smart, and he's a good person. That's all I have said. Okay, I don't go out and talk about other people or the opposition. I don't know those people. They are saying all these things. I just know Mike is solid."

-- Jesse: The future of the Democratic Party riding on this election. Michigan is an early 2028 primary state. If Democrats don't keep this Senate seat, their chances of taking the Senate are pretty slim. Abdul never pivoted to the center after the primary, and don't expect AOC to do so in 2028 if Abdul wins. If he pulls it off, first of all, he's going to be insufferable. Second of all, Democrats nationwide are going to be running brasher, unapologetic socialists, and the Schumers and Hakeems won't be able to stop him. This cocky and combative strain of left-wing populism runs directly through Abdul, and if he loses, that loses, and the fortunes of Bernie and Warren and the Squad are in dire straits. But no one has any idea how this Stevens-Abdul beef will play. Remember, Trump absorbed several high-profile DEI attacks in 2016 and survived. It may have made him stronger...</blockquote></ref>

{{Cquote|“My decision to withdraw my endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed and support Mike Rogers has angered many Democrats. I understand why. But it was not impulsive, and it was not made for me by anyone else. It was a decision of conscience,” the congresswoman wrote in a lengthy X post.

“Some critics have also dragged my fiancé into this, suggesting he or others must have made my decision for me,” Stevens continued. “Think about what that says. A woman can serve in Congress, run statewide, and fight for her convictions, and still be told that when she makes a choice people dislike, someone else must be pulling the strings.

“That is sexism dressed up as political analysis.”

Jason Turkish, a Jewish Democrat, disability rights advocate and Stevens’ fiancé, threw his support behind Rogers last week – arguing that El-Sayed’s rhetoric is putting Jews in danger.

At the time, Stevens was still backing El-Sayed and had sought to appear alongside the Democratic Senate hopeful at a campaign event.

However, Stevens claims she was told she was “no longer welcome” on the campaign trail with El-Sayed after she asked the candidate to disavow an antisemitic campaign ad and rhetoric from lefty streamer Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson.

“My fiancé has his own views. I have mine. I made this decision, and I am proud of it,” she wrote. “Do not question my independence simply because you disagree with my conclusion.”

Stevens explained that once she concluded El-Sayed was “not fit to serve,” she decided to back Rogers “with the hope that he can serve in the tradition of John McCain: a senator willing to put country before party and stand up to his own side when conscience requires it.”

“Instead of asking why a lifelong Democrat reached this point, some leaders rushed to condemn me, question my motives, and push me out,” she wrote. “That response reveals something deeply troubling about what is missing in today’s Democratic Party.

“We cannot preach inclusion while punishing dissent. We cannot promise to heal a divided country if we cannot tolerate disagreement among ourselves. And we cannot build a lasting majority by making Americans feel their concerns are unwelcome.”

Stevens signaled that she intends to remain a Democrat and “help lead” an effort to build “a stronger, more welcoming, more courageous Democratic Party.”}}

===Violent attack on Campus===
A conservative Jewish activist, Lizzy Benichou, who visited the University of Michigan campus on November 2, 2026, was partly motivated by concerns about Abdul El-Sayed, whose political affiliations and campaign funding she wanted to discuss with students.
During her visit, she was violently attacked by a supporter of El-Sayed..<ref>{{cite news

{{Cquote|"She slapped Joe [Redden] in the face with her phone. Then she came up towards me and I told her, 'You would not be able to do this in Iran,'" Benichou said, recounting the incident.

She explained that she was referring to freedom of speech, pointing to the Iranian government's treatment of protesters.

The confrontation escalated as Benichou and fellow conservative influencer Cam Higby challenged the woman over women's freedoms in Iran.

"I think [Higby] said, 'She wouldn't be allowed to be dressed like this,'" she continued.}}

She vowed not to be silenced after being attacked.

The [[The New York Times]] slammed for its election-night television coverage, which recommended NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN but did not mention [[Fox News]].

|title=Abdul El-Sayed’s Wikipedia page was whitewashed of controversies by mystery editor before election: sources
|work=New York Post]],
|date=November 7, 2026}}</ref>: Abdul El-Sayed’s Wikipedia page was quietly whitewashed of controversies by mystery editor before election.

Over the past few months, a single Wikipedia editor, known as “CopyleftEverything,” made extensive revisions to Abdul El-Sayed’s page, softening descriptions of controversies and removing references to tensions with Michigan’s Jewish community, antisemitism controversies, his medical credentials, and his criticism of Israel. The editor also made dozens of changes to pages related to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the American Communist Party, and the Revolutionary Communists of America.

Among the changes, the editor revised language stating that El-Sayed had “never been granted a medical license” to say that he “did not pursue a medical license.” El-Sayed holds a medical degree from Columbia University but did not complete residency training or obtain a medical license. He also faced criticism for calling himself a doctor.

The editor changed a description of [radical, bigoted] left-wing influencer Hasan Piker from “a controversial left-wing Twitch … streamer and political commentator” to simply “left-wing political commentator.” Other revisions removed references to El-Sayed’s hiring of a Jewish community liaison amid tensions over his criticism of the Israeli government, opposition to military aid to Israel, and comments about the Temple Israel attack.

Investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg and researcher Yehuda Teitelbaum independently tracked the edits and identified a pattern of changes that softened or removed controversial information ahead of the election.

Wikipedia co-founder [[Larry Sanger]] endorsed the investigation as a legitimate criticism of Wikipedia’s editing practices. Teitelbaum warned that the changes could influence public understanding because Google and AI search systems rely heavily on Wikipedia for information. He characterized the revisions as an organized effort to reshape the political narrative and present misleading information.

==Piker's rant==
Seeing El Sayed campaigning among Jews, Islamo-socialist [[Hasan Piker]] dared to compare Jewish voters to KKK in online rant.
El-Sayed called the comments ‘utterly inappropriate and flat out wrong’ — but conspicuously refrained from criticizing his friend Piker himself.<ref>{{cite news

==Michigan senate==
Michigan has not had a Republican U.S. Senator since January 3, 2001, when Senator [[Spencer Abraham]] left office.

Key Facts:

• Last Election Win: Spencer Abraham was the last Republican elected to the U.S. Senate from Michigan, winning his seat in 1994.

• End of Term: He served a single term from January 3, 1995, until January 3, 2001, after losing his 2000 reelection bid to Democrat Debbie Stabenow.

• Recent Streak: Following the most recent election on November 3, 2026, where Democrat Abdul El-Sayed defeated Republican Mike Rogers, the Democratic winning streak for Michigan's U.S. Senate seats has extended past 30 years.

Upon winning the Nov 2026 elections, Arab Muslims chant ‘Free, Free Palestine’ as they leave El-Sayed’s party.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/video/6407891482112 WATCH: ‘Free Palestine’ chant breaks out as supporters leave El-Sayed’s party]. Fox News'', Nov 4, 2026</ref>

==Ibrahim Sharara==

On Nov 7, 2026, the U.S. [[State Department]] has declared [[Lebanon]]’s Consul General in [[Detroit]], Ibrahim Sharara, ''persona non grata'', ordering him to leave the United States by next day.

The decision follows a report highlighting social media posts attributed to Sharara in which he praised the [[Hezbollah]] 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombing, which killed 241 American servicemen.

The same report also highlighted Sharara’s participation in an Arab-American community event in Michigan attended by Abdul El-Sayed.

[[Image:Michigan ref 2001.jpg|300 px|thumb|right|Michigan]]
'''Michigan''' has 15 [[Electoral College]] votes in [[U.S.]] presidential elections, as of 2024, and is a pivotal [[swing state]] where presidential candidates campaign often. Michigan's economy depends most on auto manufacturers, particularly the "[[Big Three]]," but it also has a substantial farming industry that employs 25% of its workforce. But due to [[Democrat]] control for years, by 2024 Michigan had declined to become a net importer rather than an exporter of agriculture. [[Liberal]]-pushed [[cannabis]] has disastrously made Michigan #4 in the country in cumulative marijuana sales,<ref>https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/us-states/michigan/news/15711919/michigan-eclipses-10-billion-in-adultuse-cannabis-sales</ref> surpassing $10 billion in merely 5 years to rival [[California]], [[Colorado]], and [[Washington]] do.

Michigan is part of the "blue wall" that [[Trump]] overcame to win in 2016 and 2024. [[Democrat]] contender and [[LGTBQ]] favorite [[Pete Buttigieg]] even moved to Michigan in late 2024, presumably to run for president in 2028.

Michigan was the twenty-sixth state to enter into the union, on Jan. 26, 1837. It borders four of the five [[Great Lakes]], all except [[Lake America]]. Michigan comprises two parts connected by a bridge, the [[conservative]] Upper Peninsula (known as the U.P., with its residents known as "Yoopers") and the Lower Peninsula (which is by far the larger of the two). Michigan's capital is [[Lansing]], and its largest city is [[Detroit]]. Michigan is part of the [[Midwest]] that is shifting [[Republican]] in response to [[Leftist]] policies against traditional [[energy]], to their push for government-subsidized, job-destroying [[electric vehicles]], and to their war on Midwestern values.

With Democrats controlling Michigan, residents are moving out in droves with nearly 40% of young adults in Michigan planning to move out within the next decade. [[Democrat]]s have ramped up [[cannabis]] sales with unlimited licensure and low pot taxes such that it has the highest per capita spending on [[marijuana]], more than three times greater than [[California]]. Marijuana sales surpassed $3 billion in annual sales for a population of only 10 million people, averaging $300 per adult in annual spending on pot. In response, a population council was convened under Democrat leadership to try to stem the exodus, but it was so full of failed Democrat approaches that the lone Republican legislator on the council voted against it.

Michigan has a large [[Arab]] [[American]] population (the largest percentage-wise in the [[U.S.]]). Dearborn, Michigan, is majority Arab American, while Warren city and Sterling Heights (ranking #3 and #4 by population<ref>https://www.michigan-demographics.com/cities_by_population</ref>) have large Arab American populations; Hamtramck elected the first Muslim-majority city council in the U.S.<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/for-arab-americans-around-detroit-a-sense-of-betrayal-after-u-s-response-to-israel-hamas-war</ref>

Arab Americans total 500,000 registered voters in Michigan and provided the slim 150,000 margin of victory to [[Biden]] in 2020, but turned against him in late 2023 due to Biden's support of carpet-bombing of the [[Gaza Strip]] that has killed more than 20,000 [[Palestinian]]s and stranded 9 out of 10 suffering from starvation and lack of water.<ref>https://www.aol.com/gaza-death-toll-surpasses-20-131613965.html</ref> Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a [[Palestinian]] American in [[Congress]] who is so popular in Michigan that she was initially elected unopposed, accused [[Biden]] of supporting a Palestinian "genocide" and has indicated that Arab Americans will remember this in the [[2024 presidential election]].<ref>https://www.npr.org/2023/11/17/1213668804/arab-americans-michigan-voters-biden-israel-hamas-palestinians#:~:text=The%20state%20is%20home%20to,Middle%20East%20and%20North%20Africa.</ref> Muslims also oppose the [[transgender activism]] central to the [[Democrat Party]] agenda today.

Though traditionally controlled by [[Democrat]]s, with disastrous [[economic]] results, Michigan stunned the [[liberal media]] by voting for [[Donald Trump]] for president in 2016. In the final days of the campaign, Democrat leaders rushed to Michigan to try unsuccessfully to keep it from switching to the [[Republican]] side. With changes to open elections to fraud-prone mail-in balloting, Michigan elected a Democratic Governor in 2018 and then voted for Biden in 2020 by a reported 150,000 votes, many from [[ballot harvesting]] or by [[dropbox Dems|drop-box Dem]]s.
== History ==
While it was a territory, Michigan's militia fought the [[Toledo War]] with Ohio's militia. This border dispute delayed the recognition of Michigan as a state, and the dispute was settled as a condition of Michigan attaining statehood. Today Michigan produces roughly 75% of the tart cherry crop, while 60% of the sweet cherry crop is produced by the states of Washington and Oregon. Michigan and Michigan State have won or shared 16 national college football championships, tied with [[Alabama]] and double the number won by Michigan's arch-rival, [[Ohio]].<ref>https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/college-football-national-championship-history</ref>

The state Constitution of Michigan, like all of the other 50 states, acknowledges [[God]] or our Creator or the ''Sovereign Ruler of the Universe''. It says:
:''We, the people of the State of Michigan, grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of freedom, and earnestly desiring to secure these blessings undiminished to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution.''

==2020 election fraud==
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]
:{{See also|Michigan election fraud|Democrat election fraud|Biden Putsch}}
In October 2020, [[Judicial Watch]] released a study of Census Bureau population statistics and state voter registration data. The study found 105% more registered voters than people in Michigan.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-releases/new-jw-study-voter-registration/</ref>

Recorded ballot counts in 72% of [[Detroit]]'s absentee voting precincts didn't match the number of ballots cast, spurring officials to ask the state to investigate ahead of the [[2020 presidential election]].

Without an explanation from Detroit election workers for the mismatches, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers requested Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office to examine the "training and processes" used in Detroit's Aug. 4 primary, which one official described as a "perfect storm" of challenges. The board is charged with certifying election results.

In 46% of all Detroit's precincts — absentee and Election Day — vote counts were out of balance, according to information presented to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. Specifically, the number of ballots tracked in precinct poll books did not match the number of ballots counted.

The situation could amplify the spotlight on [[absentee ballot]]s in Michigan ahead of an election for which record levels of mail-in voting are expected and [[President Donald Trump]] raised concerns about how votes will be handled.

The election results for the primary weren't incorrect, said Jonathan Kinloch, a [[Democrat]] and one of the canvassing board's four members. But, he said, something had gone wrong in the process of tracking ballots precinct by precinct.

Having balanced precincts is particularly important in Michigan because precincts whose poll books don't match with ballots can't be recounted, according to state law. Instead, the original election results would stand.<ref>https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/20/benson-asked-investigate-detroit-perfect-storm-voting-problems/5616629002/</ref>

===Detroit/Wayne Count election fraud===
In a lawsuit against the Detroit Election Commission following the [[2020 presidential election]], election observers alleged:<ref>https://greatlakesjc.org/wp-content/uploads/Complaint-Costantino-FINAL-With-Exhibits.pdf</ref>
{{quotebox|a.Defendants systematically processed and counted ballots from voters whose name failed to appear in either the Qualified Voter File (QVF) or in the supplemental sheets. When a voter’s name could not be found, the election worker assigned the ballot to a random name already in the QVF to a person who had not voted.

b.Defendants instructed election workers to not verify signatures on absentee ballots, to backdate absentee ballots, and to process such ballots regardless of their validity.

c.After election officials announced the last absentee ballots had been received, another batch of unsecured and unsealed ballots, without envelopes, arrived in trays at the TCF Center. There were tens of thousands of these absentee ballots, and apparently every ballot was counted and attributed only to Democratic candidates.

d.Defendants instructed election workers to process ballots that appeared after the election deadline and to falsely report that those ballots had been received prior to the November 3, 2020 deadline.

e.Defendants systematically used false information to process ballots, such as using incorrect or false birthdays. Many times, the election workers inserted new names into the QVF after the election and recorded these new voters as having a birthdate of 1/1/1900.

f.On a daily basis leading up to the election, City of Detroit election workers and 4 Great Lakes Justice Center employees coached voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat party. These workers and employees encouraged voters to do a straight Democrat ballot. These election workers and employees went over to the voting booths with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them for whom to vote.

g.Unsecured ballots arrived at the TCF Center loading garage, not in sealed ballot boxes, without any chain of custody, and without envelopes.

h.Defendant election officials and workers refused to record challenges to their processes and removed challengers from the site if they politely voiced a challenge.

i.After poll challengers started discovering the fraud taking place at the TCF Center, Defendant election officials and workers locked credentialed challengers out of the counting room so they could not observe the process, during which time tens of thousands of ballots were processed.

j.Defendant election officials and workers allowed ballots to be duplicated by hand without allowing poll challengers to check if the duplication was accurate. In fact, election officials and workers repeatedly obstructed poll challengers from observing. Defendants permitted thousands of ballots to be filled out by hand and duplicated on-site without oversight from poll challengers.}}

In a sworn affidavit, a longtime City of Detroit employee stated,
{{quotebox|"On November 4, 2020, I was instructed to improperly pre-date the absentee ballots receive date that were not in the QVF as if they had been received on or before November 3, 2020...I was told to alter the information in the QVF to falsely show that the absentee ballots had been received in time to be valid. I estimate that this was done to thousands of ballots."<ref>https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2020-11/JessyJacobAffidavit.pdf</ref>}}

====Election challengers denied an opportunity to meaningfully observe the processing and counting of ballots====
32. At least three challengers said they were physically pushed away from counting tables by election officials to a distance that was too far to observe the counting. Challenger Glen Sitek reported that he was pushed twice by an election worker, the second time in the presence
of police officers. Sitek filed a police complaint.

33. Challenger Pauline Montie stated that she was prevented from viewing the computer monitor because election workers kept pushing it further away and made her stand back from the table. When Pauline Montie told an election worker that she was not able to see the monitor because they pushed it farther away from her, the election worker responded, “too bad.”

34. Many challengers witnessed Wayne County election officials covering the windows of the TCF Center ballot counting center so that observers could not observe the ballot counting process.

35. Many challengers testified that they were intimidated, threatened, and harassed by election officials during the ballot processing and counting process and that intimidation made them feel too afraid to make challenges. Articia Bomer was called a “[[racist]] name” by an election worker and also harassed by other election workers. Zachary Vaupel reported that an election supervisor called him an “obscene name” and told him not to ask questions about ballot processing and counting. Kim Tocco was personally intimidated and insulted by election workers. Qian Schmidt was the target of racist comments and asked, “what gives you the right to be here since you are not American?” Other challengers were threatened with removal from the counting area if they continued to ask questions about the ballot counting process.

36. Challenger Kathleen Daavettila observed that Democratic challengers distributed a packet of information among themselves entitled, “Tactics to Distract GOP Challengers.” An election official told challenger Ulrike Sherer that the election authority had a police SWAT team waiting outside if Republican challengers argued too much. An election worker told challenger Jazmine Early that since “English was not [her] first language…[she] should not be taking part in this process.”

37. Election officials at the TCF Center in Detroit participated in the intimidation experienced by Republican challengers when election officials would applaud, cheer, and yell whenever a Republican challenger was ejected from the counting area.

====Illegal and ineligible ballots were counted====
41. As an example of challenges being disregarded and ignored, challenger Alexandra Seely stated that at least ten challenges she made were not recorded. Articia Bomer observed that ballots with votes for Trump were separated from other ballots. Articia Bomer stated, “I witnessed election workers open ballots with Donald Trump votes and respond by rolling their eyes and showing it to other poll workers. I believe some of these ballots may not have been properly counted.” Braden Gaicobazzi challenged thirty-five ballots for whom the voter records did
not exist in the poll book, but his challenge was ignored and disregarded. When Christopher Schornak attempted to challenge the counting of
ballots, an election official told him, “We are not talking to you, you cannot challenge this.” When Stephanie Krause attempted to challenge ballots, an election worker told her that challenges were no longer being accepted because the “rules ‘no longer applied.’”

====Unlawful ballot duplication====
42. If a ballot is rejected by a ballot-tabulator machine and cannot be read by the machine, the ballot must be duplicated onto a new ballot. The Michigan Secretary of State has instructed, ''“If the rejection is due to a false read the ballot must be duplicated by two election inspectors who have expressed a preference for different political parties.”''<ref>Michigan Election Officials’ Manual, ch. 8, p. 6</ref> Thus, the ballot duplicating process must be performed by bipartisan teams of election officials. It must also be performed where it can be observed by challengers.

43. But Wayne County prevented many challengers from observing the ballot duplicating process. Challenger John Miller said he was not allowed to observe election workers duplicating a ballot because the “duplication process was personal like voting.” Challenger Mary Shinkle stated that she was told by an election worker that she was not allowed to observe a ballot duplication because “if we make a mistake then you would be all over us.”

44. Many challengers testified that ballot duplication was performed only by Democratic election workers, not bipartisan teams.

====Ineligible ballots were counted – some multiple times====
45. Challengers reported that batches of ballots were repeatedly run through the vote tabulation machines. Challenger Patricia Rose stated she observed a stack of about fifty ballots being fed multiple times into a ballot scanner counting machine. Challenger Articia Bomer stated, “I observed a station where election workers were working on scanned ballots that had issues that needed to be manually corrected. I believe some of these workers were changing votes that had been cast for Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.” Articia Bomer further stated that she witnessed the same group of ballots being rescanned into the counting machine “at least five times.”

46. Many challengers stated that the ballot number on the ballot did not match the number on the ballot. envelope, but when they raised a challenge, those challenges were disregarded and ignored by election officials, not recorded, and the ballots were processed and counted. For example, when challenger Abbie Helminen raised a challenge that the name on the ballot envelope did not match the name on the voter list, she was told by an election official to “get away” and that the counting table she was observing had “a different process than other tables.”

47. Many challengers reported that when a voter was not in the poll book, the election officials would enter a new record for that voter with a birth date of January 1, 1900. Braden Gaicobazzi reported that a stack of thirty-five ballots was counted even though there was
no voter record.

48. At least two challengers observed ballots being counted where there was no signature or postmark on the ballot envelope. Challenger Anne Vanker observed that “60% or more of [ballot] envelopes [in a batch] bore the same signature on the opened outer envelope.”

49. Challenger William Henderson observed that a counting table of election workers lost eight ballot envelopes.

50. At least two challengers observed spoiled ballots being counted. Another challenger observed over-votes on ballots being “corrected” so that the ballots could be counted.

51. At least one challenger observed a box of provisional ballots being placed in a tabulation box at the TCF Center. At least one challenger observed poll workers adding marks to a ballot where there was no mark for any candidate. Another challenger observed election officials making mistakes when duplicating ballots.

52. An election challenger at the Detroit Department of Elections office observed passengers in cars dropping off more ballots than there were people in the car. This challenger also observed election workers at the Detroit Department of Elections office handing t-shirts and food to voters in cars. This challenger also observed an election worker accepting a ballot after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

53. One Michigan voter stated that her deceased son has been recorded as voting twice since he passed away, most recently in the 2020 general election.

====Absent voter ballots were pre-dated====
54. Jessica Connarn is an attorney who was acting as a Republican challenger at the TCF Center in Wayne County. Jessica Connarn's affidavit describes how an election poll worker told Jessica Connarn that the poll worker “was being told to change the date on ballots to reflect that the ballots were received on an earlier date.” Jessica Connarn also provided a photograph of a note handed to her by the poll worker in
which the poll worker indicated she (the poll worker) was instructed to change the date ballots were received. Jessica Connarn's affidavit demonstrates that poll workers in Wayne County were pre-dating absent voter ballots, so that absent voter ballots received
after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day could be counted.

====Wayne County used ballot tabulators that were shown to miscount votes cast for President Trump and Vice President Pence and instead count them for the Biden-Harris ticket====
[[File:Antrim County.png|right|350px|thumb|Vote switching in Antrim County, MI.<ref>https://www.9and10news.com/content/uploads/2020/12/Antrim_Michigan_Forensics_Report_121320_v2_REDACTED.pdf</ref>]]
60. On the morning of November 4, unofficial results posted by the Antrim County Clerk showed that Joe Biden had over 7,700 votes — 3,000 more than Donald Trump. Antrim County voted 62% in favor of President Trump in 2016. The [[Dominion Voting Systems]] election management system and voting machines (tabulators), which were used in Antrim County, are also used in many other Michigan counties, including
Wayne County, was at fault.

61. Secretary of State Benson released a statement blaming the county clerk for not updating certain “media drives,” but her statement failed to provide any coherent explanation of how the Dominion Voting Systems software and vote tabulators produced
such a massive miscount.<ref>https://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Antrim_Fact_Check_707197_7.pdf (emphasis in original).</ref>

62. Secretary Benson continued: “After discovering the error in reporting the unofficial results, the clerk worked diligently to report correct unofficial results by reviewing the printed totals tape on each tabulator and hand-entering the results for each
race, for each precinct in the county.”

63. What Secretary Benson fails to address is what would have happened if no one “discover[ed] the error,” for instance, in Wayne County, where the number of registered voters is much greater than Antrim County, and where the tabulators were not individually tested.

64. Wayne County used the same Dominion voting system tabulators as did Antrim County, and Wayne County tested only a single one of its vote tabulating machines before the election. The Trump campaign asked Wayne County to have an observer physically present to witness the process. See Exhibit 4. Wayne County denied the Trump campaign the opportunity to be physically present. Representatives of the Trump campaign did have the opportunity to watch a portion of the test of a single machine by Zoom video.

65. Tabulator issues occurred elsewhere in Michigan. In Oakland County, Democrat Melanie Hartman was wrongly declared the winner of the commissioner's race by a 104-vote margin. A computer issue at the Rochester Hills clerk's office caused them to double-count some votes. After elections officials caught the error, Republican Adam Kochenderfer was declared the winner with 1,127 more votes than Hartman.<ref>https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/08/electionmisinformation-michigan-vote-antrim-county/6209693002/</ref>

66. These vote tabulator failures are a mechanical malfunction that, under MCL 168.831-168.839, requires a “special election” in the precincts affected.

67. Michigan's Election Code, MCL 168.831-168.839, provides the board of canvassers shall order a special election as governed by those precincts affected by the defect or mechanical malfunction. The board of county canvassers “is responsible for resolving any claims that malfunctioning voting equipment or defective ballots may have affected the outcome of a vote on an office appearing on the ballot.” Michigan Manual for Boards of County Canvassers.

====The canvassing process in Michigan====
73. The federal provisions governing the appointment of electors to the [[Electoral College]], 3 U.S.C. 1–18, require Michigan [[Governor Whitmer]] to prepare a Certificate of Ascertainment by December 14, the date the Electoral College meets.

74. The United States Code (3 U.S.C. 5) provides that if election results are contested in any state, and if the state, prior to election day, has enacted procedures to settle controversies or contests over electors and electoral votes, and if these procedures have been applied, and the results have been determined six days before the electors’ meetings, then these results are considered to be conclusive and will apply in the counting of the electoral votes. This date (the “Safe Harbor” deadline) falls on December 8, 2020. The governor of any state where there was a contest, and in which the contest was decided according to established state procedures, is required (by 3 U.S.C. 6) to send a certificate describing the form and manner by which the determination was made to the Archivist as soon as practicable.

75. The members of the board of state canvassers are Democrat Jeannette Bradshaw, Republican Aaron Van Langeveide, Republican Norman Shinkle, and Democrat Julie Matuzak. Jeanette Bradshaw is the Board Chairperson. The members of the Wayne County board of county canvassers are Republican Monica Palmer, Democrat Jonathan Kinloch, Republican William Hartmann, and Democrat Allen Wilson. Monica Palmer is the Board Chairperson.

====COUNT I - Secretary of State Benson and Wayne County violated the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution and the corollary clause of Michigan’s Constitution====

Secretary of State Benson and Wayne County violated the [[Equal Protection Clause]] of the United States Constitution and the corollary clause of Michigan's Constitution.

76. The [[Fourteenth Amendment]] to the United States Constitution provides “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” See also
''[[Bush v. Gore]]'', 531 U.S. 98, 104 (2000) (“Having once granted the right to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person’s vote over that of another.”); ''Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections'', 383 U.S. 663, 665, (1966) (“Once the franchise is granted to the electorate, lines may not be drawn which are inconsistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”).

77. Wayne County's failure to allow challengers and its counting of ineligible and illegal ballots that did not comply with the Michigan Election Code diluted the lawful ballots of these plaintiffs and of other Michigan voters and electors in violation of the United States Constitution and the Michigan Constitution guarantee of equal protection.

78. [[President Trump]]’s campaign committee and these Michigan voters and challengers seek declaratory and injunctive relief requiring Secretary Benson to direct that Wayne County allow a reasonable number of challengers to meaningfully observe the conduct of the Wayne County board of county canvassers and the board of state canvassers and that these canvassing boards exercise their duty and authority under Michigan law, which forbids certifying a tally that includes any ballots that were not legally cast.

79. In addition, President Trump’s campaign committee and these Michigan voters and challengers ask this Court to order that no ballot processed by a counting board in Wayne County can be included in the final vote tally unless a challenger was allowed to meaningfully observe the process and the handling and counting of the ballot.

80. Secretary Benson violated these Michigan voters’ right to equal protection by allowing Wayne County to process and count ballots in a manner that allowed ineligible ballots to be counted and by not requiring Wayne County to conduct the general election in a uniform manner as required by Michigan's Election Code as was done in other jurisdictions.

====COUNT II - Secretary of State Benson and Wayne County violated the rights of these Michigan voters under the federal Elections and Electors Clauses.====
81. The Electors Clause states that “[e]ach State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors” for President. U.S. Const. art. II, §1, cl. 2 (emphasis added).

82. Likewise, the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution states that “[t]he Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.” U.S. Const. art. I, §4, cl. 1 (emphasis added).

83. Michigan statutes enacted by the legislature protect the purity and integrity of elections by allowing ballot challengers to monitor the counting and processing of absentee ballots. Wayne County and Secretary Benson violated this statutory guarantee by preventing Republican challengers from meaningfully observing and participating in the ballot processing and counting process as is provided by MCL 168.730-736.

84. It is a violation of the rights of President Trump's campaign committee to have federal elections for presidential electors governed under rules prescribed by the state legislature for Secretary Benson and Wayne County to count ballots that are not lawfully cast, and it is a violation of Michigan law for the Wayne County board of county canvassers and the Michigan board of state canvassers to certify an election tally that includes ineligible or unlawfully cast ballots.

====COUNT III - Secretary of State Benson and Wayne County violated Michigan’s Election Code====


86. Secretary of State Benson and the election officials in Wayne County violated MCL 168.730-168.734 by denying Republican challengers’ rights to meaningfully observe and participate in the ballot processing and counting process..

88. Wayne County's and Secretary Benson's denial of Republican challengers’ right to participate and observe the processing of ballots violates Michigan's Election Code and results in the casting and counting of ballots that were ineligible to be counted and diluted or canceled out the lawfully cast ballots of other Michigan voters.

====PRAYER FOR RELIEF====
President Trump's and [[Vice President Pence]]’s campaign committee and these Michigan citizens and voters ask this Court to enter a [[declaratory judgment]] in their favor as set forth in the foregoing counts and to grant the following injunctive relief:

A. An order directing Secretary Benson and the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to not certify the election results until they have verified and confirmed that all ballots that were tabulated and included in the final reported election results were cast in compliance with the provisions of the Michigan Election Code as set forth herein.

B. An order prohibiting the Wayne County board of county canvassers and the board of state canvassers from certifying any vote tally that includes:
:(1) fraudulently or unlawfully cast ballots;
:(2) ballots tabulated using the Dominion tabulating equipment or software without the accuracy of individual tabulators having first been determined;
:(3) any ballots that were received after Election Day (November 3, 2020) where the postmark or date of receipt was altered to be an earlier date before Election Day; and
:(4) any ballots that were verified or counted when challengers were excluded from the room or denied a meaningful opportunity to observe the handling of the ballot and poll book as provided in MCL 168.733.

C. An order directing the Wayne County board of county canvassers to summon and open the ballot boxes and other election material, as provided in MCL 168.823, and, in the presence of challengers who can meaningfully monitor the process, to review the poll lists, absent voter ballot envelopes bearing the statement required by MCL 168.761, and other material provided in MCL 168.811.

D. An order directing that challengers be allowed to be physically present with a meaningful opportunity to observe when the accuracy of each piece of tabulating equipment is determined, and if the accuracy of each piece of tabulation equipment used by Wayne County is not confirmed accurate, an order directing a special election be held in the affected precincts as provided by MCL 168.831-168.839.

E. An order directing the board of county canvassers and the board of state canvassers, with challengers present and meaningfully able to observe, to obtain and review the video of unattended remote ballot drop boxes.

===Statistical analysis===
Dr. Eric Quinell, Ph.D. analyzed the extraordinary increase in turnout from 2016 to 2020 in a relatively small subset of townships and
precincts outside of Detroit in Wayne County and Oakland County, and more importantly how nearly 100% or more of all “new” voters from 2016 to 2020 voted for Biden. Using publicly available information from Wayne County and Oakland County, Dr. Quinell first found that for the votes received up to the 2016 turnout levels, the 2020 vote Democrat vs. Republican two-ways distributions (i.e., excluding third parties) tracked the 2016 Democrat vs. Republican distribution very closely, which was 55%-45% for Wayne County (outside Detroit) and 54%/46% for Oakland County.

However, after the 2016 turnout levels were reached, the Democrat vs. Republican vote share shifted decisively towards Biden by approximately 15 points, resulting in a 72%/28% D/R split for Oakland County and 70%/30% D/R split for Wayne County (outside of Detroit). What is even more anomalous – and suspicious – is the fact that nearly all of these “new” votes in excess of 2016 come from a small number of townships/precincts where the increased Biden vote share is nearly 100% or over 100% for Biden. For example, in the township of Livonia in Wayne County, Biden gained 3.2 voters for every 1 new Trump voter, and Biden received 97% of all “new” votes over 2016 and 151% of all new voter registrations. In the township of Troy in Oakland County, the vote share shifted from 51%/49% in 2016 to 80%/20% in 2020 due to Biden receiving 98% of new votes above 2016 and 109% of new voter registrations. Looking county-wide, Biden gained 2.32 new voters over 2016
levels to every 1 new Trump voter in Wayne County (outside Detroit) and 2.54 additional new voters per Trump voter for Oakland County.

Based on these statistically anomalous results that occurred in a handful of townships in these two counties, Dr. Quinell's model determined that there were 40,771 anomalous votes in Wayne County (outside Detroit) and 46,125 anomalous votes in Oakland County, for a total of nearly 87,000 anomalous votes or approximately 65% of Biden's purported lead in Michigan.

The expert witness testimony of Russell James Ramsland Jr. identified an event that occurred in Michigan on November 4, 2020, that is “physically impossible”. The “event" reflected in the data is “4 spikes totaling 384,733 ballots allegedly processed in a combined
interval of 2 hour[s] and 38 minutes” for four precincts/townships in four Michigan counties (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Kent). Based on Mr. Ramsland's analysis of the voting machines available at the referenced locations, he determined that the maximum processing capability during this period was only 94,867 ballots, so “there were 289,866 more ballots processed in the time available for processing in the four precincts/townships, than there was processing capacity.” This amount is alone is nearly twice the number of ballots by which Biden purportedly leads President Trump (i.e., approximately 154,180).

===Ballot dump===
Tens of thousands of [[absentee ballot]]s arrived in large [[U.S. Postal Service]] boxes at the TCF Center in Detroit at 3:30am on November 4, 2020, the day after the [[2020 Presidential election]]. The TCF Center, formerly Cobo Hall, is where the absentee ballots are counted for Wayne County, which is the home of Detroit.

Former Michigan state senator Patrick Colbeck wrote that the total number of ballots dumped on the counting board totaled 38,000:<ref>https://vidmax.com/video/199326-poll-watcher-describes-how-a-mysterious-van-with-35k-votes-arrived-at-4am</ref>
{{quotebox-float|"Before the ballots showed up mysteriously at 3:30 am, no ballots had arrived at the TCF Center for over six hours, and many poll workers in the facility sat around with no work to do while getting paid hundreds of dollars by the state of Michigan.}}
According to Michigan election law, all of these mail-in and absentee ballots had to be submitted before 8 PM on Tuesday night in order to be lawfully accepted and counted for the election. This means the city of Detroit potentially sat on these ballots for hours. The white van that arrived had the name of Detroit city clerk Janice Winfrey emblazoned upon it as well as a logo and a phone number.<ref>https://bigleaguepolitics.com/tens-of-thousands-of-ballots-dropped-off-in-usps-boxes-at-detroit-absentee-ballot-processing-center-at-330-am-after-election/</ref>

At 4am, a Ferrari, and a Chrysler van with out-of-state plates pulled into the Detroit TCF facility (formerly Cobo Hall) with ballots inside the vehicles.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/update-from-detroit-democrat-operatives-are-threatening-gop-poll-watchers-they-are-hiding-the-line-in-back-where-votes-are-counted/</ref> Poll watcher Connie Johnson testified:
{{quotebox-float|“As they started counting the ballots, he was astonished that every single ballot, literally 100 percent of 130,000 ballots, were all Biden ballots that hadn’t been delivered to the precinct before the cut off time. We literally have people that watched it happen. We have poll challengers that have been barred from being able to go into this room to challenge ballots. We’ve had GOP members removed from the room....It’s really heartbreaking that this is what we have stooped to and allowed as a country. It is disgusting what is happening in Detroit. It’s about major fraud on a major scale… that was very well organized."<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/watch-ballot-count-watcher-describes-least-130000-ballots-biden-arriving-three-vehicles-detroit-dead-night/</ref>}}

===Unsupervised counting===
Republicans started off the morning with a few dozen GOP poll watchers. The party called in more workers. The number of GOP poll workers then climbed to several hundred by noon. There was a GOP watcher at nearly each table in the center. After they went to lunch the GOP poll watchers were not allowed back in.<ref>https://twitter.com/kayleighmcenany/status/1324091003947622402</ref><ref>https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/shady-behavior-in-detroit/</ref> Democrat operatives became very hostile and threatening.<ref>https://twitter.com/aricnesbitt/status/1324105401814626304</ref> Vote counters with [[BLM]] masks were allowed into the center.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-detroit-officials-now-blocking-gop-poll-workers-re-entering-tfc-center-police-called/</ref>

In an October 2020 interview with ABC 7 News, Winfrey set the stage to drag out the process:
{{quotebox-float|“We’re back in control, and we know that we will have nearly 10,000 poll workers that will be working with us to process ballots on election day, or election week is what we’re calling it now, because we know we’re going to be slow.”}}
[[President Donald Trump]] had a sizable lead. Then suddenly [[Joe Biden]] jumped up 200,000 votes.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/voter-fraud-michigan-massive-dump-200000-ballots-biden-sudden-show-overnight/</ref><ref>https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/alert-michigan-county-removes-totals-following-report-of-skewed-results/</ref> The Trump campaign, as well as the U.S. Senate campaign of GOP businessman and Iraq war veteran [[John James]], accused Michigan election officials of chicanery after thousands of ballots appeared in the middle of the night following Election Day. The campaigns also were outraged that GOP election observers were denied access to a ballot counting facility in Detroit after poll workers placed large sheets of cardboard over windows, obscuring the public's view.

===No down ballot voting===
Trump received 2,637,173 votes while the GOP senate candidate received 2,630,042 votes. The difference here is only 7,131 which is not far off from what we see historically. In the same state, Joe Biden received 2,787,544 votes while the Democratic senate candidate received 2,718,451. The difference is 69,093 votes which is much higher than the historical norm.

===Dead people voting===
An observer noticed something curious about some of the names on the ballots. Upon further review, one particular name out of the list, and confirmed to have cast a ballot,<ref>https://theredelephants.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/HxGKud6M7W3Zeg5A.mp4?_=3</ref> happened to be born in 1902 and passed away in 1984. A pollster noticed the list and video, and used [[social security]] death index data confirming the deceased registered voter. Over 14,000 dead people were found who either voted in Wayne County (Detroit) or were registered to vote. Another poll watcher who was later kicked out for taking photographs, noticed a decent-sized list of Michigan residents who have also been confirmed to have cast their ballots. All of the names on the list he reviewed show their birthdate in chronological order.<ref>https://theredelephants.com/there-is-undeniable-mathematical-evidence-the-election-is-being-stolen/</ref>

The campaigns also were outraged that GOP election observers were denied access to ballot counting facility in Detroit after poll workers placed large sheets of cardboard over windows, obscuring the public's view. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel asked state residents to stop telling her staff to shove Sharpie markers up their butts after a state judge threw out a lawsuit by the Trump campaign which sought to halt ballot counts. Nessel tweeted:
{{quotebox-float|“Dear members of the public: Please stop making harassing & threatening calls to my staff. They are kind, hardworking public servants just doing their job. Asking them to shove sharpies in uncomfortable places is never appropriate & is a sad commentary on the state of our nation."<ref>https://twitter.com/dananessel/status/1324441365091131394</ref>}}
The Sharpie reference is tied to allegations of poll irregularities contained in an [[Arizona]] lawsuit alleging that ballots marked with the felt-tipped pens were rejected at some voting centers. In one video posted to [[social media]], two women claimed that Sharpie-marked ballots were not being accepted but ballots marked with regular ballpoint pens were at one voting station. “So, they’re invalidating votes is what they’re doing,” a man off-camera taking the video says. “Yes,” one woman, also off-camera, responded. “I used your pen and then I brought it back to you and I said give this to somebody because it works,” a woman on-camera said. “Yes, yes, and so we know that, and we’ve been telling them, ‘You need to use a ballpoint pen, not the Sharpie,’ and now those are getting invalidated,” said the man. On Election Day, Maricopa County officials claimed in a video posted to social media that Sharpies are okay to use when marking ballots despite current state guidance indicating felt-tip markers not be used for ballots.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/11/06/michigan-ag-pleads-with-residents-to-stop-telling-staff-to-shove-sharpies-up-their-rear-ends-993535</ref>

===Dominion/Scorecard fraud===
An independent forensic audit of Dominion’s machines concluded:
{{quotebox-float|“The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. ...The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan....The allowable election error rate established by the [[Federal Election Commission]] guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity."<ref>https://www.depernolaw.com/uploads/2/7/0/2/27029178/antrim_michigan_forensics_report_[121320]_v2_[redacted].pdf</ref>}}
Melissa Carone was a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems to do IT work at the TCF Center. Carone gave an intervire to Redpill78 on Twitch.<ref>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/798796260?t=0h15m8s</ref> Carone states in a sworn affidavit that she “witnessed nothing but fraudulent actions take place”. Carone testified,<ref>https://www.greatlakesjc.org/wp-content/uploads/Supplemental-Brief-Motion-for-TRO-Costantino.pdf</ref>
{{quotebox-float|3. The counters (which were trained very little or not at all), were handed a "batch" (stack of 50) of mail-in ballots in which they would run through the tabulator. The tabulators would get jammed 4-5 times an hour, when they jammed the computer would put out an error that tells the worker the ballot number that was jammed and gives an option to either discard the batch or continue scanning at which the counter should discard the batch, put the issue ballot on top of the batch and rescan the entire batch. I witnessed countless workers rescanning the batches without discarding them first which resulted in ballots being counted 4-5 times.

4. At approximately midnight I was called over to assist one of the counters with a paper jam and noticed his PC had a number of over 400 ballots scanned- which means one batch was counted over 8 times. This happened countless times while I was at the TCF Center. I confronted my manager, Nick Ikonornakis saying how big of a problem this was, Nick told me he didn't want to hear that we have a big problem. He told me we are here to do assist with IT work, not to run their election.

5. The adjudication process, from my understanding there's supposed to be a republican and a democrat judging these ballots. I overheard numerous workers talking during shift change in which over 20 machines had two democrats judging the ballots-resulting in an unfair process.

6. Next, I want to describe what went on during shift change, it was a chaotic disaster. It took over two hours for workers to arrive at their "assigned areas", over 30 workers were taken upstairs and told they didn't have a job for them to do. These people were chosen to be counters, in which 6 workers admitted to me that they received absolutely no training at all.

7. The night shift workers were free to come and go as they pleased, they could go out and smoke from the counting room. This is illegal, as there were boxes and stacks of ballots everywhere, anyone could have taken some out or brought some in, and No one was watching them.

8. There were two vans that pulled into the garage of the counting room, one on day shift and one on night shift. These vans were apparently bringing food into the building because they only had enough food for not even 1/3 of the workers. I never saw any food corning out of these vans, coincidently it was announced on the news that Michigan had discovered over 100,000 more ballots- not even two hours after the last van left.

9. When a worker had a ballot that they either could not read, or it had something spilled on it, they would go to a table that had blank ballots on it and fill it out. They were supposed to be filling them out exactly like the one they had received but this was not the case at all. The workers would also sign the name of the person that the ballot belonged to-which is clearly illegal.

13. I called the FBI and made a report with them, I was told that I will be getting a call back.}}
Dr. V. A. Shiva of [[MIT]], the inventor of email, did a statistical analysis of voting integrity in Michigan during a video livestream presentation.<ref>https://www.pscp.tv/w/1BdGYYjgkgQGX</ref> Dr. Shyiva demonstrated statistically how an [[algorithm]] took about 60,000 votes away from President Trump and gave them to Joe Biden in Oakland County, Michigan during the course of election day. He demonstrated the same pattern in Macomb County.

The slope of linear decline of Trump votes hour-by-hour in Oakland, Macomb, and Kent County, Michigan, was the same in predominantly Republican precincts. The public data reveal algorithm-manipulated tampering to transfer Trump votes from Republicans to Biden.

"The United States voting systems, the inputs and the outputs, are unverifiable," says says Dr. Shiva, as many jurisdictions don't verify if a real person legally voted (no voter ID), and if the real votes were indeed tabulated truthfully (ballots or images are not preserved).

In violation of federal law concerning candidates for federal office, [[Massachusetts]] destroys ballots and images on election day, Dr. Shiva says. Shiva says he was banned from Twitter for saying this, even though he had it confirmed by the Massachusetts [[secretary of state]].

Biden purportedly leads President Trump (i.e., approximately 154,180).

Philosophy

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-2000

[[Image:Aristotle.gif|thumb|Aristotle]]
'''Philosophy''' (literally 'love of wisdom', from Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophía) &ndash from φίλος (phílos) friend, lover; and σοφία (sophía) wisdom) is an academic discipline concerned with the most fundamental and general concepts and principles involved in thought, action, and reality. Philosophy progresses according to various methods of rational inquiry.

Philosophy is accurately described as both the first science and the "Queen of the Sciences". Until the late 19th century, what is now called "science" was subsumed under [[natural philosophy]].

Philosophy in the West has its origins in Ancient Greece, ca. 600 B.C. After the fall of the Roman Empire, much of Greek philosophy was lost to the West, preserved only in the Arab world until the time of the Crusades and the Moorish conquest of Spain. Contact with Arab philosophers (especially al-Ghazali, who developed a version of the [[Cosmological argument]] and wrote more than 70 books, ibn Rushd, and [[ibn Sina]]) greatly influenced philosophical tradition in Europe, beginning the "Scholastic period", which ended with [[Descartes]] and the beginning of the [[Enlightenment]]. The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a major split between British Empiricism and Continental Rationalism. This divide can be traced back to the late 17th century but culminated in a schism between rationalists like Descartes and Spinoza and empiricists like Berkeley, Locke, and Hume. This divide was rectified by the work of Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher famous for his treatise ''Critique of Pure Reason''. With the divide healed, 20th century philosophy would spark a movement called [[modernism]]. Modernism would give birth to analytical philosophy and would culminate in [[logical positivism]] and verificationism before slowly dying out and giving way to [[postmodernism]].

== Branches of Philosophy ==
[[File:Rubens. The Four Philosophers.jpg|thumb|[[Rubens]]. The Four Philosophers.]]
The main branches of philosophy are [[Metaphysics]], which is (broadly speaking) the study of what-is; [[Logic]], the rules of reasoning; [[Epistemology]], the study of knowledge; and [[Axiology]], the study of values. Notable sub-branches include:

*'''Philosophy of Language''': the study of language and its effects on humanity
*'''Philosophy of Religion''': the study of religions, what defines a religion, and the tenets of religions
*'''Philosophy of Mind''': the study of how the mind and the body relate to each other
*'''[[Ethics]]''': the analysis of the nature of [[morality]] and morals, how and why we determine right from wrong.
*'''[[Political Philosophy]]''': the analysis of the nature of the human public sphere, which one may consider to be the ethics of the way society is arranged.
*'''[[Philosophy of Science]]''': the analysis of scientific concepts and methodology, which concerns itself mostly with the foundations of [[science]] and interdisciplinary areas.
*'''[[Aesthetics]]''': the analysis of the nature and experience of [[art]] and beauty.

== History of Philosophy ==

Conventionally the History of Western Philosophy is divided into four eras: Ancient, Medieval, Enlightenment, and Contemporary.

The Ancient era starts with the [[Presocratic Philosophy|Presocratic]] philosophers and goes until the fall of the Roman empire; The Medieval goes until the end of the [[Middle Ages]]; The Modern goes up to the 20th century, and The Contemporary goes up to present.

[[Frederick Copleston]], S.J. (1907 - 1994) was a [[Jesuit]] scholar who wrote the highly respected 9-volume ''A History of Philosophy''.

=== Greek Philosophy ===
''See also: [[Plato]] and [[Aristotle]]''
[[Image:Parmenides book.jpg|240px|right]]
Philosophy in the West begins with [[Thales]] of Miletus, who was the first astronomer in recorded history to accurately predict a solar eclipse. The Milesian School founded by Thales included [[Anaxagoras]], [[Anaximander]], and [[Anaximenes]]. It was [[Pythagoras]] (ca. 582 - 504 BC) who first brought Philosophy into connection with practical life; he also gave Philosophy its name "the love of wisdom". Closely related to Milesianism is the work of [[Heraclitus]] of Ephesus. Around the time of Heraclitus, [[Parmenides]] of Elea, with his pupil [[Zeno]], raised some serious objections to the project of Milesian philosophy. These objections laid the groundwork for [[Socrates]] and his pupil [[Plato]], and [[Aristotle]], as well as the Atomists, [[Democritus]] and [[Leucippus]]. After the Greek philosophical golden age, other systems appeared during the Hellenistic period, like [[Cynicism]], [[Stoicism]], [[Epicureanism]] and [[Skepticism]]. At the closing period of Greek philosophy [[Neoplatonism]] was founded by [[Plotinus|Plotinus of Lycopolis]]. Parmenides' thoughts influenced Plato and through him, all of Western philosophy.<ref>[http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=9972 Parmenides] by Raymond Tallis. Quote, "While Plato's dialogues are among the supreme philosophical works of the western tradition, it was Parmenides who established the implicit framework of their debates."</ref>

[[Saint Augustine]] (354-430 A.D.), drawing greatly on the ideas of Plato, has been of momentous importance in the development of Christian thought.

=== Medieval era ===
In the West, until the twelfth century, little was known of Plato and Aristotle, except a few dialogues and some treatises on logic. [[Anselm of Canterbury|St. Anselm]] (1O33-1109) made a first attempt at systematizing [[Scholasticism|Scholastic philosophy]]. Some decades later, the Arabic and Byzantine thinkers entered into relation with Western culture, and affecting a philosophical revival; Al-Ghazali, founder of the Ash'ari school of [[Atomism]], entered [[Europe]] through ibn Rushd; translations of the ancient authors were made and the philosophical works of [[ibn Sina]] and ibn Rushd became better known. In the thirteenth century important philosophers like [Maimonides]], Alexander of Hales (ca. 1185 - 1245), St. Bonaventure, [[Albertus Magnus]], [[Roger Bacon]], and [[St. Thomas Aquinas]] made significant contributions to thought and in the following century William of Occam, Eckhart,[[Nicholas of Cusa]], [[Thomas More]] and Grotius made further contributions to philosophy during the scholastic period (cf: [[Ibidem]] Catholic Encyclopedia).

Classifications of Philosophy in this period are mostly akin to the Platonic division into [[logic]], [[ethics]], and [[physics]].

=== The Enlightenment Era ===
[[Image:JohnStuartMill.jpg|thumb|[[John Stuart Mill]]]]
The main figures from this era are: [[Thomas Hobbes]], [[Rene Descartes ]], [[Gottfried Leibniz]], [[David Hume]], [[Immanuel Kant]], [[Arthur Schopenhauer]], [[Auguste Comte]], [[John Stuart Mill]], [[Herbert Spencer]], [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Nietzsche]].

Dividing philosophy, Kant distinguishes [[metaphysics]], [[moral]] philosophy, [[religion]], and [[anthropology]] as the main four branches.

The most widely accepted scheme, that which still governs the division of the branches of philosophy is due to [[Christian Wolff]] (1679-1755):

This scheme is as follows:

1. Logic.
2. Speculative Philosophy.
* Ontology, or General Metaphysics.
* Special Metaphysics.
: o Theodicy (the study of God).
: o Cosmology (the study of the World).
: o Psychology (the study of Man).

3. Practical Philosophy.
* Ethics
* Politics
* Economics

(cf: [[Ibidem]])

:::::: ''All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions:''

:::::::::''1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?'' Immanuel Kant.

=== The Twentieth Century ===

This century has offered a wide diversity of orientations. The best known are the French school of [[Existentialism]], the German study of linked [[Phenomenology]], the [[Positivism|Positivists]] of the Vienna Circle, and the post-Positivist Analytic movement.

==== Existentialists ====

The earliest [[existentialism|existentialist]] was the Christian philosopher [[Søren Kierkegaard]]. Other prominent existentialists include Henri Bergson (1859 – 1941), winner of the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature, [[Karl Jaspers]], and the noted philosopher, playwright, and novelist [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] (1905 – 1980).

==== [[Phenomenology]] and [[Hermeneutics]] ====

Edmund Husserl (1859 – 1938), founder of phenomenology, [[Martin Heidegger]] (1889 – 1976), and Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) are the core writers here.

==== Logical Positivists ====

The [[Vienna Circle]] philosophers, most notably Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap, Herbert Feigl, the famous mathematician [[Kurt Godel]], and Otto Neurath established a rigorous tradition called "Logical Empiricism", but usually referred to as [[logical positivism]]. This tradition, a stricter development of [[Auguste Comte]]'s positivism, is no longer an active research program, unlike [[Existentialism]] and Phenomenology.

Often thought of as a logical positivist, [[Karl Popper]] was in fact a fierce critic.

==== Structuralism ====

Structuralism is a theory that uses culturally interconnected signs to reconstruct systems of relationships rather than studying isolated, material things in themselves, with proponents such as Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857 – 1913), Russian linguist Roman Jakobson (1896 – 1982), French anthropologist [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]] (1908 – 2009), French literary critic [[Roland Barthes]] (1915 – 1980), and French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault (1926 – 1984). Foucault, who is often classified as a post-structuralist, is renowned for historical studies that reveal the sometimes morally disturbing power relations inherent in social practices.<ref>[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/structuralism Structuralism]</ref>

==== Others ====

The Frankfurt School, a group of researchers associated with the Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute of Social Research), founded in 1923 as an autonomous division of the University of Frankfurt; members were Max Horkheimer, [[Theodor Adorno|Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno]], his friend Walter Benjamin (1892 – 1940), a German essayist and critic known for his synthesis of eccentric Marxist theory and Jewish messianism, and [[Herbert Marcuse]] (1898 – 1979).<ref>[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Philosophhy Philosophy]</ref> [[Jürgen Habermas]] (1929-), a critic of [[Positivism]], is the most famous German professor of the tradition of critical theory.

[[British]] philosophers from the beginning of the 20th Century are: George Edward Moore (1873 – 1958), [[Bertrand Russell]] (1872 – 1970), philosopher, [[mathematician]], and social reformer, and the Austrian [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]] (1889 – 1951), who taught in Cambridge.

==== Surge of theistic philosophers in latter part of 20th century ====

In the latter half of the 20th century, [[theism]] made revolutionary advances within philosophy in terms of its influence within Anglo-American philosophy.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfbvr0ngsnA Debate - Michael Payton vs William Lane Craig - Does God Exist - 2009]</ref> The majority of philosophers of religion, or those who have extensively studied the issue of the [[Arguments for the existence of God|existence of God]], are [[theism|theists]] - about 70 percent.<ref>[http://www.strangenotions.com/atheist-scientists/ Does it matter that many scientists are atheists?]</ref>
[[File:Alister McGrath.jpg|right|thumb|175px|[[Alister McGrath]] ]]
In 2001, the atheist and philosopher Quentin Smith declared:
{{cquote|[[Naturalism|Naturalists]] [atheists] passively watched as realist versions of theism … began to sweep through the philosophical community, until today perhaps one-quarter or one-third of philosophy professors are theists, with most being orthodox Christians…. God is not 'dead' in academia; he returned to life in the 1960's and is now alive and well in his last academic stronghold, philosophy departments."<ref>[http://www.reasonablefaith.org/theistic-critiques-of-atheism Theistic critiques of atheism] by [[William Lane Craig]]</ref>}}
In 2004, Professor [[Alister McGrath]], professor of historical theology at Wycliffe Hall, [[Oxford University]] declared, "The golden age of [[atheism]] is over."<ref>http://www.sbcbaptistpress.org/bpnews.asp?ID=18837</ref> McGrath is an [[ex-atheists|ex-atheiest]].

=== American Philosophy ===
{{main|American Enlightenment}}

Some scholars have said that American philosophers’ focus on the interconnections of theory and practice, on experience and community, has varied, but different concerns and themes have waxed or waned at different times. Through the middle of the 20th century, at least, American philosophers were actively engaged in shaping and reflecting the development of American culture.<ref>[http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/american.htm American Philosophy]</ref>

==== Transcendentalism ====
{{main|Transcendentalism}}

Founded by [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]] (1803 - 1882), who became the most widely known man of letters in America in the 19th century. Transcendentalism, ''of which Emerson was the leading figure, resembled British [[Romanticism]] in its precept that a fundamental continuity exists between man, nature, and God, or the divine... Matter and spirit are not opposed.''<ref>[http://www.iep.utm.edu/e/emerson.htm Ralph Waldo Emerson]</ref>

==== Pragmatism ====
Main figures are: [[Charles Peirce]] (1839-1914), [[William James]] (1842-1910), [[John Dewey]] (1859-1952), and [[Richard Rorty]] (1931-2007).

==== Philosophy of Religion ====

The best-known American philosopher of religion is without a doubt [[Alvin Plantinga]] (1932-) at the [[University of Notre Dame]]; also well-known are John Hick (1922-), who, though born in England, did much of his work at Claremont University in southern California, and professor William Alston (1921-) working at [[Syracuse University]].

==== Analytic Philosophers ====
[[Image:John Rawls.jpg|thumb|Harvard philosopher John Rawls.]]
America has produced a great many philosophers in the Analytic tradition. A brief list of notables:

* W.V.O. Quine
* Donald Davidson
* Saul Kripke
* John Searle
* Paul Grice
* Richard Montague
* Hilary Putnam
* Nelson Goodman
* Kit Fine
* Ted Sider
* Robert Stalnaker
* [[Daniel Dennett]]

Especially well known to non-philosophers is [[John Rawls]] (1921 - 2002) (political and moral philosophy), author of ''A Theory of Justice'' (1971), ''Political Liberalism'' (1993), ''The Law of Peoples'' (1999), and ''Justice as Fairness: A Restatement'' (2001).

== Eastern Philosophy ==
[[Eastern Philosophy]] comprises mainly the thought of: [[Zoroastrianism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Hinduism]], [[Confucianism]], [[Taoism]], [[Islamism]] and [[Jainism]]. Some scholars include [[Ayurveda]], Babylonian philosophy, and [[Korean]] philosophy.

'''Wisconsin''', the "Badger State," or unofficially "[[America]]'s Dairyland," had 10 [[Electoral College]] votes in the [[2024 presidential election]] (and again in 2028) as a pivotal [[swing state]] that can decide the outcome nationwide.<ref>“I think it’s very likely that Wisconsin could once again be the tipping point state,” [[University of Wisconsin]]-La Crosse Assistant Political Science Prof. Anthony Chergosky said. https://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/news/2023/11/05/why-wisconsin-could-be-the--tipping-point-state--in-2024</ref>

Dairy farms, 95% of which are family-owned, comprise 25% of dairy farms in the entire [[U.S.]] Dairy exports to foreign countries, including [[China]] and [[Europe]], are an essential part of the Wisconsin economy. And unlike its leading competitor for milk production, which is [[California]], Wisconsin is self-sufficient as to its use of [[water]] while California steals water allocation from the [[Colorado River]] that should go to [[Arizona]]. [[Marijuana]] is completely illegal in Wisconsin, and its sale or cultivation is a [[felony]]; this helps Wisconsin conserve water. ''See'' [[Cannabis water use]].

Wisconsin was the thirtieth state to enter the union, on May 29, 1848, and its capital city is [[Madison]]. The town of Ripon was the birthplace of the [[Republican Party]] in 1854, and the [[Republican National Convention]] of 2024 will be held in [[Milwaukee]], Wisconsin. But Wisconsin's higher education system, based in Madison, is among the most [[liberal]] in the entire country and is even the original source of "[[political correctness]]." Wisconsin colleges fund so many white [[Leftist]]s that they keep Wisconsin from being [[conservative]].

Its state tree is the sugar maple, the state song is "[[On Wisconsin]]," the state flower is the wood violet, the state bird is the American [[robin]], the state animal is the [[badger]], the state [[fossil]] is the [[trilobite]], and the state fish is the muskellunge.<ref>http://www.legis.state.wi.us/senate/scc/kids/facts.htm</ref>

Farming is 16.4% of Wisconsin's [[economy]], nearly half (7.1%) of which is dairy, and its top crops are corn ($1.4 billion, mostly for animal feed), soybeans ($913 million), potatoes ($311M) and cranberries (producing half the nation's supply of this crop, at $156M). Wisconsin ranks 4th in its [[Amish]] population, at 24,000. Wisconsin has 15,000 lakes and [[water]] is generally plentiful. Tourism is another contributor, both in the larger cities and also for the Wisconsin Dells.

A majority of the [[Wisconsin Supreme Court]] was considered to be [[conservative]] as of July 2022, but in August 2023 "Wisconsin Democrats celebrated the beginning of a new era for the state Supreme Court on Tuesday as it flipped from conservative to [[liberal]] control for the first time in 15 years."<ref>https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-supreme-court-liberal-8800fc9d37e6194f777c2fed261c5d37#</ref> In its legislature and governor's office, Wisconsin does not have any [[term limits]].

The state Constitution of Wisconsin, like all of the other 50 states, acknowledges God or our Creator or the ''Sovereign Ruler of the Universe''. It says:
:''We, the people of Wisconsin, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure its blessings, form a more perfect government, insure domestic tranquility and promote the general welfare, do establish this constitution.''

====Birthplace of the Republican Party====
[[File:GOP Ripon.jpeg|thumb|290px|Birthplace of the Republican Party, 1854]]
When the 1854 [[Kansas-Nebraska Act|Kansas-Nebraska bill]], which became law that same year, was proposed, it met very strong opposition in Wisconsin, regardless of one's political affiliation.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Numerous meetings were held against the bill, and in one of them held in Ripon, Wisconsin on March 20, 1854,<ref name="History.com"/><ref>According to Encyclopedia.com, the date was February 28, 1854 [http://www.encyclopedia.com/places/united-states-and-canada/us-political-geography/wisconsin].</ref> political leaders under the leadership of lawyer [[Alvan E. Bovay]] proposed the creation of a new political party.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Other similar meetings also supported creating a new party, and "in July of 1854, a convention was held in [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]] to organize the new party"—the [[Republican Party]].<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Ripon is thus considered by many to be birthplace of the party.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> From the beginning, the Republican Party performed very well in the state.<ref name="RiponGOP"/>

In the early days of the Republican Party, there was a rift between the Whiggish conservatives and the states' rights adherents, the latter of which favored Lincoln's moderate approach to the Civil War and opposed strong civil rights protections in the postbellum years. The states' rights faction, coalesced around James R. Doolittle, initially maintained a strong standing until the solidification of Radical Republicanism led to their loss of patronage, which was subsequently controlled by Elisha W. Keyes. The election and reelection of Sen. Timothy Howe ensured the firm control of the state GOP by the Radical faction, the acolytes of which in later generations represented the reactionary "Old Guard."

====Wisconsin Progressivism====
Beginning around the turn of the 20th Century, the ideology of [[Progressivism]] became prominent in Wisconsin politics, with Progressivists taking control of the Republican Party, which was dominant in state politics, around 1900.<ref name="WSidea">[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-036/?action=more_essay Progressivism and the Wisconsin Idea].

During the [[Great Depression]] in the 1930s, Progressivists continued to enact legislation in Wisconsin that expanded government programs and power, this time under the leadership of Robert La Follette's two sons, Robert La Follette Jr. and Phil La Follette.<ref>[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-045/?action=more_essay Depression and Unemployment].

{{quotebox-float|"The pictures and videos distributed by the defendant are heart-wrenching to describe. They depict naked prepubescent children posing in lewd and lascivious ways; adults committing sexual acts on minors; and underage children performing sexual acts on adults. The most disturbing video sent by the defendant involved the forcible rape of a toddler. It is unfathomable to believe that the defendant not only received sexual gratification from such abhorrent material, but he felt the need to share it with others.

The defendant truly lived a double life. On one hand, he was an officer of the court who had a legal and ethical obligation to promote justice. He represented himself as someone who “[fought] for the most marginalized in our community.”<ref>https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2020/03/28/vote-absentee-milwaukee-county-circuit-court-branch-5/</ref>

[...] When executing a search warrant at the defendant’s residence, agents found electronic devices that contained numerous text messages between the defendant and other individuals. Many of these texts centered on the defendant’s sexual interest in children. The defendant told someone that he impersonated a teenager so he could chat with a 14-year-old child. He openly expressed his attraction to children, some as young as 12 years of age. Even as far back as 2016, the defendant talked about engaging in sexual intercourse with teenage boys.

In addition to discussing his sexual desires, the defendant brainstormed about ways he could get access to teenage children. For example, on one occasion the

====Socialism====

While Progressivists supported government intervention in the economy and society, the [[leftist]] Socialists, who dominated especially in [[Milwaukee]] around the same time, were more extreme, supporting the total replacement of [[capitalism]] with a very expansive government, as well as "a [[planned economy]] of state-owned industries."<ref name="SewerS">[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-043/?action=more_essay Milwaukee Sewer Socialism].

It was also reported that Brooks posted on social media after Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder over the death of three people in Kenosha, Wisconsin last summer.

Rittenhouse broke down in tears on Friday, as he was cleared of five criminal charges after a dramatic trial.

Brooks posted that he was "not surprised" by the outcome of the case though police have so far not said if the rampage had anything to do with the verdict.

And the playlist on Brooks’ YouTube channel and SoundCloud page includes songs about killing.

In one of his music videos, the rapper uses an SUV that appears to be the one that mowed down people in Waukesha.

Cops opened fire Sunday after an SUV plowed through a barrier and sped off after the horror incident.

Officers later swooped at an address in Milwaukee where the SUV was pictured.

The front of the vehicle was crumpled right up to the windscreen with the bumper and license plate hanging off.

In a video on his YouTube channel, the same car that plowed into the parade appears to be used.</blockquote></ref> An eyewitness told ''The Federalist'', “they ran out of ambulances so they were putting them in the back of squad cars.” There were civilians taking people to the hospital, he said, and “people carrying people down the street just to get to the cars” since the streets were blocked off.<ref>https://freedomjournalist.com/waukesha-citizens-reel-from-christmas-parade-attack-describe-bodies-in-the-street/</ref>

====Biden Putsch====
{{See also|Biden Putsch}}
=====Primary election tampering=====
In a lawsuit filed by Democratic party operatives concerned about the [[CCP pandemic]]’s effects on voting, federal District Judge William Conley (an [[Obama]] appointee) extended the deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots from Tuesday, April 7, 2020 (the primary-election day), to Monday afternoon, April 13. That aspect of the federal district court’s ruling was not in dispute. Judge Conley, however, directed that [[absentee ballot]]s were eligible to be counted regardless of the date of postmark or otherwise delivered, as long as they came in by the April 13 deadline. In effect, that meant absentee ballots could be cast after in-person primary voting had closed on April 7.

This meant the election could be materially altered by events occurring after the formal conclusion of the [[primary election]] — not least, news about the apparent election result. To address this problem, Judge Conley further ordered the Wisconsin Election Commission and election inspectors to suppress any report of the voting results until after the new April 13 deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/the-supreme-courts-misunderstood-ruling-on-wisconsins-coronavirus-primary/</ref> Democrat Gov. [[Tony Evers]] then banned in-person voting in the April 7, 2020 primary. The Wisconsin Supreme Court then ruled Evers exceeded his authority with his [[Executive Order]] to cancel elections.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEIrRZpwsqQ</ref> The same day [[SCOTUS]] ruled to stay a district court order that had extended the absentee voting deadline. As a result, the absentee ballot postmark and in-person return deadlines were reinstated to April 7, 2020.<ref>https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_Party_primaries_in_Wisconsin,_2020</ref> The issue was that authority did not rest with the courts or the governor and there was no time to reschedule. [[Fake news]] media, of course, was quick to blame Republicans for the Democrat's lawsuit and the Democratic governor's overreach of [[executive branch]] authority.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/dan.bongino/videos/775321722874199/</ref> Democrat operative [[James Carville]] again stole the spotlight as the most [[demagogic]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/04/08/carville-wisconsin-primary-proved-republicans-will-kill-people-to-stay-in-power/</ref> ''The Wisconsin State Journal'' reported three weeks after the voting that Wisconsin's rate of infection actually declined after in-person voting.<ref>https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/health-med-fit/no-bump-in-covid-19-rates-after-wisconsins-april-7-election-study-says/article_b1aade1d-abec-5fc2-92fb-e1c64ccbc92f.html</ref>

=====Supreme Court agrees to hear the case=====
''Redstate'' reported:
{{quotebox|"a federal judge extended the deadline for receiving [[absentee ballot]]s during the [[primary election]] cycle by a period of six days. No one objected to that extension in the early days of state “lockdown” orders to address the outbreak of the COVID 19 virus. But, five days before the scheduled election, the same judge clarified the order to state that ballots postmarked on or before the extended day for receipt of ballots could be counted even though that violated Wisconsin election law which required that they be postmarked no later than Election Day, and no party in the case had asked for the Court to grant the additional relief. The Supreme Court reversed that provision of the district court’s order, writing as follows:

:''Nonetheless, five days before the scheduled election, the District Court unilaterally ordered that absentee ballots mailed and postmarked after election day, April 7, still be counted so long as they are received by April 13. Extending the date by which ballots may be cast by voters—not just received by the municipal clerks but cast by voters— for an additional six days after the scheduled election day fundamentally alters the nature of the election… This Court has repeatedly emphasized that lower federal courts should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election…. The District Court on its own ordered yet an additional extension, which would allow voters to mail their ballots after election day, which is extraordinary relief and would fundamentally alter the nature of the election by allowing voting for six additional days after the election.

The four liberals on the Court, including the late [[Justice Ginsburg]], dissented from this order and would have allowed votes to be cast and counted after the deadline imposed by state law in Wisconsin, basing their judgment on the complications of the COVID 19 pandemic.

So, you can see where the lower court judges are finding their “justification” for rewriting election rules more to the liking of plaintiffs who — in every case I’ve looked at — are Democrat party interest groups."<ref>https://www.redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2020/10/04/a-supreme-court-showdown-of-federal-judges-rewriting-state-election-laws-based-on-covid-is-at-hand/</ref>}}

After Wisconsin's primary vote, [[Bernie Sanders]] dropped out of the race, pledging to toe the CCP/DNC party line; however an ''ABC/Washington Post'' poll showed 15% of Sanders supporters will support President Trump in the November 2020 general election.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/03/29/bernie-sanders-supporters-vote-trump-over-biden-poll/2936124001/</ref> Sanders press secretary immediately ripped off the mask, saying in a tweet that she can now drop "Democratic" from explaining why "Democratic Socialism" is good.<ref>https://summit.news/2020/04/08/bernies-press-secretary-now-i-can-drop-democratic-from-democratic-socialism/</ref> With Sanders out and the nomination locked up, Barack Hussein Obama still failed to endorse Biden.

[[Priorities USA]] Action — the Democratic Party's largest super PAC — spent $6 million on advertisements criticizing President Trump for his response to the [[coronavirus]] pandemic. The ads ran in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. The PAC received $3 million in contributions from [[George Soros]]'s Democracy PAC on Feb. 21, 2020, or 77% of [[Priorities USA]] income for the reporting period. Priorities USA said it intends to spend upward of $150 million against Trump in states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Its largest donor has been billionaire hedge fund manager Donald Sussman, who has given the group $8 million this cycle. Soros is the group's second-largest donor at $5 million. In addition, [[David Brock]]'s American Bridge PAC has assailed Trump's coronavirus response. American Bridge has also been active in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/soros-bankrolls-coronavirus-attack-ads-against-trump/</ref> Priorities USA aired a digitally altered ad that led to the [[NBC]] affiliate airing the ad being sued for defamation when it continued to air the ad after receiving a cease-and-desist order.

=====2020 voter fraud=====
:{{See also|Wisconsin election fraud}}
The [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (CTCL) approved a $100,000 grant to the Mayor of [[Racine]], WI in May of 2020 directing the Mayor to recruit four other cities ([[Green Bay]], [[Kenosha]], [[Madison]], and Milwaukee) to develop a joint grant request of CTCL. This effort resulted in these cities submitting a “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” on June 15, 2020, to CTCL and, in turn, receiving $6.3 million to implement the plan. This privatization of elections undermined the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters.

The provision of [[Zuckerberg]]-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally [[Republican]] areas of the state. Moreover, this recruiting of targeted jurisdictions for specific government action and funding runs contrary to legislative election plans and invites the government to play favorites in the election process. The “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” was not authored by the state, and considered state election integrity laws as obstacles and nuisances to be ignored or circumvented. Moreover, CTCL retained the right, in the grant document, to, in its sole discretion, order all funds returned if the grantee cities did not conduct the election consistent with CTCL dictates.

Effectively, CTCL managed the election in these five cities. And this plan violated state law in, at least, the following fashion:

:1) The plan circumvented voter identification requirements for absentee ballots by attempting to classify all voters as “indefinitely confined” due to COVID and later, after Wisconsin Supreme Court criticism, by ordering election clerks to not question such claims.

:2) The plan initiated the use of drop boxes for ballot collection, significantly breaching the chain of custody of the ballot and failing to maintain proper logs and reviews to ensure all properly cast ballots were counted and all improperly cast ballots were not counted.

:3) Initiated the consolidation of counting centers, justifying the flow of hundreds of thousands of ballots to one location and the marginalization of Republican poll watchers such that bipartisan participation in the management, handling, and counting of the ballots was compromised.

According to the Amistad Project, these are but examples of radical changes in election processes that opened the door for significant fraud.
This [[two-tier system]] allowed voters in Democrat strongholds to stroll down the street to vote while voters in Republican strongholds
had to go on the equivalent of a “where’s Waldo” hunt. These irregularities existed wherever Zuckerberg’s money was granted to local election officials.<ref>https://trumpwon.biz/The-Legitimacy-and-Effect-of-Private-Funding-in-Federal-and-State-Electorial-Processes-1.pdf</ref>

=====Ballot dump=====
[[File:Milwaukee turnout 2020.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Turnout exceeded registered voters in some Milwaukee precincts by 200%.]]
Theredelephants reports in [[Wisconsin]], voter turnout matched the record high of 2004. The Wisconsin Elections Commission uses the estimated voting age population as the denominator when calculating statewide voter turnout numbers. According to the Elections Commission, there was a 73 percent turnout in this Wisconsin election.

Turnout was 67 percent in 2016; 70 percent in 2012; 69 percent in 2008; and 73 percent in 2004. Apparently Joe Biden smashed [[Barack Obama]]’s 2008 turnout in most places in the country.

In both Michigan and Wisconsin, several vote dumps occurred at approximately 4 am on Wednesday morning November 4, 2020, which showed that Joe Biden received almost 100 percent of the votes. President Trump was leading by hundreds of thousands of votes in both states as America went to sleep, and turnout in the state of Wisconsin seemed to be particularly impossible.

In Wisconsin on election day before the polls opened, Republicans led Mail-in Ballots requested 43% to 35%, and Mail-in and early in-person ballots returned 43% to 35%. Almost ALL of the ballots found, while most in the country were sleeping, after they officials stated they would stop counting, were for Joe Biden.

Some statistically savvy observers noticed other mathematical flaws, as random numbers in statistics should follow a pattern in their distribution. If the numbers are falsified, it is easy to detect.

Biden had 49,000 votes posted on the City of Milwaukee website as of 4 AM Wednesday and 194,000 votes as of 3 PM Wednesday.<ref>https://twitter.com/RichHiggins_DC/status/1329268228883963904</ref> 102 wards added more than 500 votes, 16 added more than 1000. State margin 20k <ref>https://t.co/ToBWG58yXv</ref><ref>pic.twitter.com/3yzpYSEJ0q</ref>

The increase in Democrats relative to Republicans was significantly higher when the Democrat was doing worse overall in early counting. Within each ward, late votes broke heavily to the Democrat in exactly the races where they are likely to affect the result.

=====Illegal instructions from the Election Board=====
[[File:Wisconsin-Rock-County-3.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Vote switching in Rock County, Wisconsin.]]
In Wisconsin, the law states that ballots returned by a third party absent a witness statement are invalid and not to be counted. Municipal clerks and vote counters across the state filled out witness signatures themselves. Acting on false and unlawful advice from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), these clerks may have invalidated thousands of [[absentee ballot|absentee votes]].
[[File:WI fraudulent ballots.png|left|300px|thumb|Fraudulent ballots cast in Wisconsin.<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/group-files-emergency-petition-wisconsin-after-finding-potentially-150000?utm_source=daily-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter</ref>]]
The WEC sent uniform instructions to voters with their mail-in ballots that informed them that “your witness must sign and provide their full address (street number, street name, city) in the Certification of Witness section” and warned that “if any of the required information above is missing, your ballot will not be counted.” However, on October 19, 2020, the WEC sent instructions to clerks that they can simply fill in the witness address themselves so that the ballot would not be invalidated. “Please note that the clerk should attempt to resolve any missing witness address information prior to Election Day if possible, and this can be done through reliable information (personal knowledge, voter registration information, through a phone call with the voter or witness),” WEC wrote. “The witness does not need to appear to add a missing address.”<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/many-200000-wisconsin-residents-may-have-voted-absentee-without-having</ref>

“The statute is very, very clear,” said retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who worked as a poll watcher in Milwaukee on Election Day. “If an absentee ballot does not have a witness address on it, it’s not valid. That ballot is not valid.” The former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice said the ballots should be invalidated. “In defiance of and direct contradiction to the statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance–that is, cover–to all 72 county clerks and turned the statute on his head,” Gableman said. “They said, ‘Gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but county clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness’ address if there’s no address on the absentee ballot.”<ref>https://redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/11/08/ballot-clerks-in-wisconsin-allegedly-added-witness-statements-to-thousands-of-invalid-ballots-n276848</ref>

Anticipating a legal challenge to this seemingly highly unlawful advice, the WEC instructed clerks to write in these witness addresses in red pen so that they would be easy to find during a recount or audit of the vote.
[[File:WI indefinite.png|right|350px|thumb|]]
The Republican Party of Wisconsin estimates that thousands of witness addresses may have been changed, thus invalidating the ballots on which they appeared. The statutory remedy for this is to subtract a commensurate number of votes for the candidates for whom those ballots were cast, meaning that vote totals may substantially change.

=====Vote switching=====

Evidence shows that the vote totals for Rock County appeared to be switched between President Trump and Joe Biden. 9,516 votes were eliminated from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden. This 19,032 vote difference when corrected would eliminate Biden’s lead in Wisconsin.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-exclusive-system-glitch-also-uncovered-wisconsin-reversal-19032-votes-removes-lead-joe-biden/aypundit.com</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/happening-mit-scientist-offer-president-trump-proof-computer-algorithm-likely-transferred-69000-votes-trump-joe-biden-michigan/</ref>

==Economy==

Southwestern Wisconsin is now a less heavily populated agricultural region even though for a while it was the economic center of the state. There remains however more dairy cows than registered voters. The Southeast, which includes Milwaukee and the suburban corridor running south to Chicago, is now the most populous section of the state.

Wisconsin is well known for its dairy industry and is a top producer of [[cheese]] in the US.

== Abortion in Wisconsin ==

Wisconsin has the 8th lowest [[abortion rankings|abortion rate]] in the United States, and it has declined to a record low since 1974, the first year after ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'':<ref>Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com (Apr. 9, 2007)
https://www.lifenews.com/state2218.html</ref>

:There were 9,580 [[abortion]]s done in the state in 2006, down from 9,817 in 2005. This is the third year in a row that abortions in the Midwestern state have decreased and the number is the lowest since 1974.

:"Wisconsin Right to Life is ecstatic that Wisconsin abortion numbers continue to decline," Barbara Lyons, the group's director, told LifeNews.com in a statement.

:"In addition, the abortion rate (which represents the number of abortions per 1000 women of childbearing age) remains at 8, which is one of the lowest abortion rates in the nation," Lyons added. The national abortion rate is about 15 per 1,000 women.

:In the statement, Wisconsin Right to Life<ref>http://www.wisconsinrighttolife.org</ref> suggests that abortions are on the decline because of its work and pro-life legislation the state has enacted and polls showing that younger Americans are more pro-life than previous generations. ...

:There are 14 abortions per 100 live births in Wisconsin, lower than the 24 per 100 live births nationwide.

:In 2006, there were 596 abortions on minors. Written consent (usually by a parent) was provided in 530 of these; the patient was an emancipated minor in 24; and a court granted a petition to waive the parental consent requirement in 42. There were no teens who got abortions after being victimized by sexual assault. ...

:Some 85 percent of the abortions were surgical and 15 percent involved abortion drugs, an increase of one percent over 2005.

===Pro-life legislation===

[[File:P'Nut MAGA.PNG|right|300px|thumb|]]
'''MAGA''' is the acronym for "[[Make America Great Again]]," and the slogan of [[U.S.]] President [[Donald Trump]] who by 2024 had redefined [[American]] politics. "MAGA" refers to the [[grassroots]] political movement that elected Trump in 2016 and 2024, and is not always synonymous with Trump himself or all of his policies. After landslide losses for the [[Republican Party]] in the [[2026 midterm elections]], [[JD Vance]] immediately took the lead for MAGA.<ref>https://x.com/JDVance/status/2118004988433641835?a=hmmgxfK-1s1tekegfLo&s=20</ref>

When Trump survived the assassination attempt on him on July 13, 2024, with tremendous bravery, MAGA rose in prominence to become the likely dominant political philosophy for the foreseeable future. It can be compared with the tremendous strength of the Jacksonian movement from 1824-1840, and the Lincoln Republicans from 1865-1912.

[[Ronald Reagan]] occasionally used the phrase,<ref>Carney, John (September 3, 2018).

'''Ronald Dion "DeSanctimonious" DeSantis''' (born September 14, 1978) is a corrupt politician who has been governor of [[Florida]] since 2019.

It was due to Trump's endorsement of him in 2018 that DeSantis was able to win the [[Republican]] gubernatorial primary, and then barely defeated the later-indicted [[Democrat]] [[Andrew Gillum]] in the [[2018 midterms]].<ref>''[http://archive.is/QfvFt If Democrats want to win, they need a black politician on the ticket]'', Theodore R. Johnson, ''The Washington Post'', March 13, 2020.</ref> In 2022, [[Ashley Moody]] won reelection as Attorney General by nearly 61% of the vote, which helped carry DeSantis to victory with a smaller number of those same votes.<ref>Previously, DeSantis served as a member of the [[United States House of Representatives]] from January 2013 to September 2018.</ref> DeSantis won re-election in a landslide, routing his opponent: Gov. DeSantis Wins Florida Re-election in a Rout
Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor, demonstrated his viability as a potential presidential contender by beating [[Charlie Crist]], a Democrat with wide recognition in the state."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/08/us/politics/desantis-wins-florida-governor.html</ref>

Amidst the [[CCP pandemic]], DeSantis' main claim to fame has been his numerous policies which have emphasized "freedom over [[Faucism]]."<ref>Stone, Tyler (June 4, 2021). [https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/06/04/desantis_florida_choose_freedom_over_faucism.html DeSantis: Florida Chooses Freedom Over Faucism]. ''RealClearPolitics''. Retrieved October 10, 2021.</ref> This has caused many to believe that he is a sincere anti-establishment conservative, much like many once believed [[Ted Cruz]] to be such. However, there is much evidence to the contrary. In recent months, DeSantis has embraced the [[liberals]], [[mainstream media]], and other [[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trumpers]] who have been heavily promoting him as an alternative to [[Donald Trump]] for the [[Republican]] nomination for president in 2024, despite the fact that he has no chance of defeating Trump even if he tries to do so. Additionally, DeSantis supports or has previously supported several initiatives promoted by the Republican party establishment, such as the [https://www.conservapedia.com/Trans-Pacific_Partnership Trans-Pacific Partnership] [https://ballotpedia.org/Ron_DeSantis%27_congressional_history], the [[NATO war in Ukraine]], and [[censorship]] of [[politically incorrect]] businesses.

DeSantis is thought to have initially, behind the scenes, slowed passage in [[Florida]] of the [[pro-life]] [[Heartbeat Bill]], despite how it had already passed in 14 other states. Instead, DeSantis boasted of a sham [[pro-life]] 15-week ban riddled with loopholes.<ref>See [[DeSantis sham pro-life bill]].</ref> Apparently beholden to the [[Koch network]]'s [[dark money]], DeSantis endorsed their half-baked scheme to rewrite the [[U.S. Constitution]] misnamed the "[[Convention of States]]."<ref>https://conventionofstates.com/endorsements</ref> His office may have played a role in securing a $10 million "jackpot" job for fellow [[Koch network]] functionary [[Ben Sasse]], who then quit his job as [[U.S. Senate|U.S. Senator]] before even the middle of his term to become president of the [[University of Florida]]. Apparently to appease his [[dark money]] delusional donors, in February 2023 advertisements were played in [[Idaho]] of DeSantis endorsing a [[Con Con]],<ref>https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/joy-reid-desantis-constitution-rcna71158</ref> which Justice [[Antonin Scalia|Scalia]] called a "horrible idea."

Under DeSantis' leadership, [[Florida]] has become a center for [[abortion]] in the southeast and the Chief Justice appointed by DeSantis to the [[Florida Supreme Court]] is thought to believe there is a right to abortion in the Florida Constitution.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/21/floridas-abortion-access-hinges-on-conservative-court-redone-by-desantis-00103036</ref> DeSantis is perhaps best known for appearing in US socialist Junta leader Joe Biden's attack ads on Trump.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/biden-uses-desantis-dig-trump-160933439.html Biden Uses DeSantis’ Dig At Trump In New Campaign Ad]</ref>

Pandering to his [[dark money|dark-money]] mega-donors, DeSantis personally pushed for statewide [[sports gambling]] in a deal valued at $2.5 billion, despite opposition by [[conservative]]s based on the enormous harm inflicted by the [[gambling]] [[addiction]].<ref name="Politico">https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/30/desantis-scores-big-legal-win-upholding-2-5b-gambling-deal-with-florida-tribe-00104427</ref>

Despite propaganda claiming the contrary, DeSantis has not governed as a sincere conservative. To paraphrase "Dutchman," a prominent commentator on ''[[The Conservative Treehouse]]'', every action he has taken since 2018 was a political calculation designed to create two non-existent images, one of a "Free State of Florida" and the other of a "Trump lite". He is not nor has he ever been [[America First]]; his public image is totally artificial and disconnected from reality.[https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/06/22/everyone-is-going-to-think-im-nuts-but-im-not-nuts]

DeSantis is also a supporter of the inappropriately-named "[[Convention of States]]" movement, which despite its premise would grant [[globalist]]s and [[leftists]] a unique opportunity to unilaterally rewrite the [[U.S. Constitution]].

Despite DeSantis’ many nefarious and arguably criminal deeds as governor, Florida continues to evolve into a bastion of conservatism, a development for which he deserves no credit whatsoever.

During COVID-19 years, many conservative-leaning people moved from "Blue States" to [[FL]], due to Covid restrictions which they thought to be too harsh.

=== Strong Budget Surpluses in Florida ===

The National Debt continued to increase under both Biden and Trump. Meanwhile, Governor Ron DeSantis ran strong budget surpluses instead in Florida: "TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the surplus for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $21.8 billion – the highest in state history and more than 21 percent above the state budget for the fiscal year. Collections in May were $742 million above estimates, and preliminary data for June collections are approximately $950 million above estimates.

“Despite the headwinds created by the Biden administration’s policies, Florida is in a strong fiscal position because we preserved freedom and kept our economy open,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Our responsible policies have allowed us to make record investments to support our communities, promote education, protect the environment, and provide record tax relief for Floridians, all while building record reserves to protect the state against the reckless fiscal policies from Washington.”<ref>https://www.flgov.com/2022/07/07/governor-ron-desantis-announces-record-surplus-for-fiscal-year-2021-22/</ref><ref>https://reasonstobechristian.com/f/why-ron-de-santis-is-a-better-conservative-candidate-than-trump</ref>

==2022 Midterm elections==
In the November [[2022 midterm elections]], DeSantis rode on the landslide coattails of the pro-[[Trump]], anti-[[election fraud]] [[Florida]] Attorney General [[Ashley Moody]], who garnered more votes. This victory included traditionally blue regions in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.
<ref>Deirdra Funcheon, Martin Vassolo, [https://www.axios.com/local/miami/2022/11/14/miami-dade-midterm-election-republicans Miami-Dade flips red: Midterm lessons for Republicans and Democrats], Nov 14, 2022.</ref><ref>Ben Jacobs, "winners and 4 losers from the midterm results so far", ''VOX'', November 9, 2022.</ref>

According to the National File, DeSantis was in on the RINO-led efforts to sabotage pro-Trump candidates in the midterms.[https://nationalfile.com/republican-governors-association-builds-anti-trump-war-chest-with-ron-desantis/]

DeSantis apparently offered no help to [[Herschel Walker]] in the tight race for the [[U.S. Senate]] next door in [[Georgia]], despite how many other [[Republican]] officials did help Walker.

==2024 presidential election campaign==
{{See also|Ron DeSantis 2024 presidential campaign}}
De Santis was a stealth [[establishment]], [[Never-Trumper 2024|Never-Trumper]] candidate for president in 2024. DeSantis was a puppet of [[globalist]] [[private equity]] managers who funnel millions into his campaign coffers, in their futile hope of defeating their nemesis [[Donald Trump]] and advancing the billionaires' agenda of rewriting the [[U.S. Constitution]]. In early 2023, DeSantis appeared in radio ads in [[Idaho]] to urge that harmful proposal.<ref>https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/01/24/ron-desantis-appearing-idaho-ads-calls-constitutional-convention/</ref> DeSantis has supported slashing [[Social Security]] (which would benefit [[private equity]]), and opposed [[Ethanol]] subsidies for [[Iowa]] farmers,<ref>https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/110463643535963277</ref> which compete with the [[Koch brothers]]' and [[Texas]] mega-donors' [[oil]] refineries.

Federal election law apparently prohibits DeSantis from using much of his campaign funds, much of which were contributed in million-dollar donations by [[hedge fund]] and [[private equity]]-type billionaires, on a presidential campaign.<ref>https://dnyuz.com/2023/04/08/for-desantis-overflowing-war-chest-obscures-the-challenges-ahead/</ref>

After Trump was indicted on politically motivated charges by a rogue [[Department of Justice]], DeSantis took to Twitter and cited these abuses of federal power as a reason to vote for him over Trump.[https://twitter.com/RonDeSantis/status/1666986884604522499]

In November 2021, former Trump campaign advisor and [[lobbyist]] [[Roger Stone]] prophetically accused DeSantis of political posturing to set up a [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]-like campaign for the [[United States presidential election, 2024|2024 presidential election]]. Stone sought a pledge by DeSantis not to run against Trump.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/roger-stone-run-governor-desantis-pledges-not-to-run-president-2021-11</ref><ref>https://t.me/RogerStoneJr/1470</ref> DeSantis supposedly privately mocked Stone's status as a convicted. felon, despite evidence that Stone's prosecution was the result of a [[Deep State]] smear campaign and the fact that he had been pardoned by Trump. Those remarks were supposedly made behind closed doors, as DeSantis likely knew that making them public would potentially end his political career. Stone in turn responded by demanding that DeSantis apologize for those remarks.<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2021/11/10/stone-desantis-owes-me-an-apology-495042</ref> As of January 2023, DeSantis had not issued such an apology. Stone also insulted DeSantis, calling him a "Yale Harvard fat boy" who "can't get out of his own way" and accused DeSantis having an affair with former [[Newsmax]] reporter Emerald Robinson while he had been out of the public eye, despite the fact that DeSantis had been helping his wife Casey during her struggle with breast cancer during that time.<ref>https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/roger-stone-calls-ron-desantis-yale-harvard-fat-boy-after-reports-of-rift-between-florida-gov-donald-trump-30657050</ref>

In January 2022, Trump called Republican politicians "gutless" for refusing to reveal whether or not they received a vaccine booster, a remark many perceived to be directed at DeSantis.<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/12/trump-calls-politicians-who-refuse-to-say-they-received-covid-boosters-gutless.html</ref> DeSantis stated that one of his "biggest regrets" as governor was not speaking up more against Trump's early COVID lockdown policies, which were strongly influenced by the advice of people like Anthony Fauci.<ref>https://www.marketwatch.com/story/desantis-viewed-as-target-of-trump-remark-about-gutless-politicians-not-admitting-to-receiving-booster-shots-01642031351][https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1481355199121960971</ref><ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/01/14/desantis-says-he-regrets-not-opposing-trump-administrations-lockdown-calls-as-tensions-grow-with-ex-president/?sh=c8d7c2a46c20]</ref><ref>https://ruthlesspodcast.com/episodes/ron-desantis-gets-ruthless</ref>

In February 2022, DeSantis expressed support for the [[Neoconservatism|neocon]] position on the [[Maidan regime|crisis]] in Ukraine.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/03/01/ron-desantis-on-ukraine-crisis-biden-wont-hit-putin-where-it-counts/</ref>

In August 2022 polls showed strong numbers for Ron DeSantis and bad numbers for Biden and [[Kamala Harris]].<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/another-national-poll-another-strong-showing-for-desantis/ Polls: Strong Numbers for DeSantis, Bad Numbers for Biden and Harris], ''National Review'', Aug 5, 2022.</ref>

During a gubernatorial debate with [[Charlie Crist]], DeSantis walked back his previous assertion that he would not run for President in 2024 if [[Donald Trump]] declared his candidacy.[https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/10/25/governor-ron-desantis-easily-won-his-debate-yet-flubbed-the-most-predictable-question/]

In an incoherent interview with [[British]] [[liberal]] [[Piers Morgan]], DeSantis showed how clueless he is about the [[globalist]] and [[Deep State]] enemies of [[America]], and blustered that the president should "look to people like our [[Founding Fathers]].”<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-desantis-trump-piers-morgan_n_641a5468e4b0bc5cb653285c</ref> Even anti-[[Trump]] ''Politico'' downplays DeSantis's chances as of April 19, 2023,<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/19/desantis-dc-trump-endorsement-00092695 "DeSantis is in a rut. His trek to D.C. didn’t help."]</ref> and DeSantis is ridiculed for his unsuccessful fight against [[Mickey Mouse]] ([[Disney]]). DeSantis's betrayal of [[Trump]] is compared [[Judas Iscariot]]'s biblical betrayal.

However, increasingly billionaires ruled out supporting DeSantis, as of late April 2023.<ref>DeSantis has spent much of his governorship improperly "shadow" campaigning for president. [https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/28/florida-house-passes-bill-allowing-desantis-to-run-in-2024-without-resigning-heads-to-governor-desk-for-signature-after-he-returns-from-overseas-tour/][https://apnews.com/article/trump-desantis-ethics-complaint-2024-presidential-campaign-e887199fb9f63ef2051295eced5068ce]</ref> John Catsimatidis, a New York billionaire, ruled out supporting DeSantis while observing that he "doesn't even return phone calls."

According to [[Laura Loomer]], the DeSantis campaign has been employing individuals with ties to Ukrainian as well as Israeli "political affairs" to operate [[sock puppet]] accounts to promote him on [[social media]].<ref>https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1674027818030620672</ref> Another June 2023 poll showed him tied with Trump, in [[FL]].<ref>Hannah Bleau, [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/06/14/poll-trump-desantis-tied-sunshine-state/ Poll: Trump and DeSantis Tied in the Sunshine State], ''Breitbart'', June 14, 2023</ref>

By June 30, 2023, DeSantis was far behind [[Trump]] in the polls despite "burning through cash," and he had only $9M left for the primary amid many expenses and a staff of nearly 100.<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/lagging-trump-desantis-campaign-fires-staff-after-rapidly-burning-through-cash/ar-AA1dUSHX</ref>

DeSantis secretly wears steep heels to try to boost his short stature, shorter than any Republican president in 50 years. DeSantis stands at only 5'9" or at most 5'10", which the [[liberal media]] is beginning to expose.<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ron-desantis-interview-piers-morgan-162839809.html No Republican nominee as short as DeSantis has won the presidency since [[William McKinley]], who stood at 5'7" and won in 1896 and 1900 against the relatively short [[William Jennings Bryan]].

==Personal life==
DeSantis was born in Jacksonville, Florida. He married his wife Casey in 2010, with whom he has two daughters and one son. DeSantis is a [[Catholic]].

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.

[[File:Ghislaine Clinton.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Bill Clinton and [[Ghislaine Maxwell]].]]
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 term-limited out, the other took 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>

== 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 unwillingness to let 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 factitious 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 that 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 until he became president. Bill said she only wanted a child so people wouldn't think she's a lesbian, and their 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> and 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 — may be true. But Clinton most definitely knows through Hillary, who was closely 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 using 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 Borrego Desert. Cyanide poisoning.

=== 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> 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 [[uniparty]] 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. Hillary in many ways identified with Eleanor Roosevelt.<ref>http://www.newsweek.com/hillarys-other-side-178552</ref>

Eleanor Roosevelt had been caught on surveillance "quite clearly having sexual intercourse" with a younger man, [[Joe Lash]].<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/File:Eroose2.jpg</ref> The story was leaked to the press.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=cVzNFWV_rvEC&pg=PA304&lpg=PA304&dq=westbrook+pegler+joe+lash&source=bl&ots=IMvenoPmub&sig=ZR7pa9GcKAsAY08BolOOHWgviPk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiLuJzRsJDQAhXprVQKHfV2D6kQ6AEIezAT#v=onepage&q=westbrook%20pegler%20joe%20lash&f=false].

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 ===
{{Cquote|I worked with Hillary Clinton. She was [[evil]]. The stories agents around her have, and have kept bottled up inside, are horrendous. Working on her detail was generally considered a punishment assignment. You will never meet a more [[mercenary]] and destructive public figure in your lifetime.|||[[Dan Bongino]]}}
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 ...'"}}

=== 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.}}

=== 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.

=== 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. Mrs. Clinton is accredited with introducing the [[sexist]] [[pejorative]], 'bimbo', into the American political [[lexicon]] to disparage victims of sexual assault by the rich and powerful.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WiQRBN8igE Hillary Clinton calls Bill Clinton's sexual assault victims "Bimbo Eruptions"] youtube.com</ref> The politicalinsider.com identified the problem,

The ''New York Times'' noted before the 2016 [[primary election]] season began that the '''90s Scandals Threaten to Erode Hillary Clinton's Strength With Women'', and Hillary Clinton certainly was not, by any account, a victim, or a victim of her husband's faithlessness.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/21/us/politics/90s-scandals-threaten-to-erode-hillary-clintons-strength-with-women.html '90s Scandals Threaten to Erode Hillary Clinton's Strength With Women], By AMY CHOZICK, ''New York Times'', JAN. 20, 2016.</ref>

==== 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?"].

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.

==== 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>

=== 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.

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.

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.

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.

Sen.

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.

=== 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.

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. Hillary's 'moderate rebels' -- [[al-Qaeda in the Maghreb]] and the [[Libyan Islamic Fighting Group]]<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/21/benghazi-raid-libyan-revolution Benghazi raid leaves cradle of Libyan revolution fearing for its future] ''[[The Guardian]]'' September 21, 2012.

They came with machine guns, with rockets."</ref>—killed the American Ambassador reportedly in the same fashion Gaddafi had been murdered.<ref>[http://www.aina.org/news/20120913165253.htm Ambassador Stevens Was Raped Before His Murder, Reports Claim], 2012-09-13. www.aina.org</ref> All this was occurring on American soil only 56 days prior to the [[Presidential Election 2012|2012 Presidential election]] where the slogan was "[[Osama Bin Laden#Abbottabad raid|Bin Laden is dead]], [[Crony capitalism|GM is alive]], and al Qaeda is on the run." The deceptive [[narrative]] denying America had been attacked was issued by Hillary Clinton at nearly the precise time Ambassador [[Christopher Stevens]] was viciously murdered.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUObFqU5cgE Here's the KEY MOMENT in Benghazi hearings — Rep. Jordan nails Hillary on LIES], posted by [[Pamela Geller]], Oct 22, 2015. youtube.com</ref>

The Libyan fiasco stiffened the resolve of [[Vladimir Putin]]. Putin did not veto the U.N. Security Council which passed a 'fig leaf' resolution to give its proponents, Hillary Clinton, [[Nicolas Sarkozy#Libyan affair|Nicolas Sarkozy]], [[David Cameron]] and Barack Obama an air of legitimacy.<ref>[http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/02/forgotten-war-understanding-incredible-debacle-left-behind-nato-libya.html Understanding The Incredible Debacle Left Behind By NATO In Libya], Posted on February 28, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog.</ref><ref>[http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/03/10/hillary-clinton-the-queen-of-chaos-and-the-threat-of-world-war-iii/ Hillary Clinton: the Queen of Chaos and the Threat of World War III], by Maidhc Ó Cathail – Diana Johnstone, March 10, 2016. www.counterpunch.org</ref> Amidst the ensuing chaos they began blaming each other. Once the [[duplicity]] and betrayal of the U.S. State Department under Hillary Clinton became obvious, Putin moved to shore up defense of his own allies — Russians residing in the [[Ukraine]] and [[Crimea]], and [[Syria]]n President [[Bashar al-Assad]].<ref>[http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/20603 Address by President of the Russian Federation], March 18, 2014. en.kremlin.ru</ref> Putin felt betrayed, the U.N. Security Council resolution was only to provide a no-fly zone aircover for the rebels, not an authorization for direct attacks and intervention against Gaddafi's forces as Putin had been assured beforehand.

=== 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. The Obama administration furnished the same organization SAM-7 missiles capable of shooting down commercial and military aircraft.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/libyan-missiles-on-the-loose/2012/05/08/gIQA1FCUBU_story.html?utm_term=.a091217ed1fd Libyan missiles on the loose], By [[David Ignatius]], Washington Post Opinion writer, May 8, 2012</ref>]]
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). [https://hotair.com/archives/2014/05/08/did-hillary-refuse-to-designate-boko-haram-as-a-terrorist-organization/ "Did Hillary refuse to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization?"] Hot Air website.</ref> Placing Boko Haram on the State Department's terrorist list would then give legal authority to the CIA or FBI to act. 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.

=== Saudi Arabia and the Clinton Foundation ===
Once Saddam Hussein fell in April 2003, the [[Bush administration]] hastily closed Prince Sultan Airbase ending a long-term commitment to the defense of Saudi Arabia.<ref>[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/prince-sultan.htm Prince Sultan Air Base, Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia]. globalsecurity.org</ref>

She originally was sentenced to 90 lashes; on appeal the sentence was more than doubled to 200 lashes and six months in jail after found guilty of indecency and exposing the case in the media.

==== 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. The Saudi judicial system blames [[Social media]] for causing an increase in 'deliberate' acts of homosexuality. As of the first half of 2016, there were 35 people on death row in Saudi Arabia for sodomy.<ref>[https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saudi-arabia-pushes-homosexuals-executed-7672283 Saudi Arabia 'pushes for homosexuals to be executed' amid fears social media is 'turning people gay'], By Rhian Lubin, ''Mirror'', 1 April 2016. www.mirror.co.uk</ref>

Other people with ties to the company made donations as well. 

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the [[Kremlin]] that was promoting Uranium One stock.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0</ref> }}

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]].

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.

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>

=== Divisive and dismissive comments ===
Hillary branded half of Trump's supporters as "deplorables" and called them "irredeemable". Her spokeswoman called Roman Catholics "severely backwards" and charging that they don't know "what the hell they're talking about."<ref>Wolfgang, Ben (October 12, 2016).

=== Illegal fundraising 2016 ===

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>

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.

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>

Clinton, who holds the indignity of having two failed presidential campaigns, lost the 2008 Democrat primary to [[Barack Hussein Obama]] and the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016 Presidential election]] to [[Donald Trump]], about which she used [[Misogyny|misogynistic]] rhetoric, blaming 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>

[[File:Ghislaine Clinton.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Bill Clinton and [[Ghislaine Maxwell]].]]
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 term-limited out, the other took 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 let 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 factitious 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 till 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 may be true. But Clinton most definitely knows through Hillary, who was closely 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 using 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 Borrego 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> 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 [[uniparty]] 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.

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 ===
{{Cquote|I worked with Hillary Clinton. She was [[evil]]. The stories agents around her have, and have kept bottled up inside, are horrendous. Working on her detail was generally considered a punishment assignment. You will never meet a more [[mercenary]] and destructive public figure in your lifetime.|||[[Dan Bongino]]}}
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. Mrs. Clinton is accredited with introducing the [[sexist]] [[pejorative]], 'bimbo', into the American political [[lexicon]] to disparage victims of sexual assault by the rich and powerful.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WiQRBN8igE Hillary Clinton calls Bill Clinton's sexual assault victims "Bimbo Eruptions"] youtube.com</ref> The politicalinsider.com identified the problem,

The ''New York Times'' noted before the 2016 [[primary election]] season began that the '''90s Scandals Threaten to Erode Hillary Clinton's Strength With Women'', and Hillary Clinton certainly was not, by any account, a victim, or a victim of her husband's faithlessness.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/21/us/politics/90s-scandals-threaten-to-erode-hillary-clintons-strength-with-women.html '90s Scandals Threaten to Erode Hillary Clinton's Strength With Women], By AMY CHOZICK, ''New York Times'', JAN. 20, 2016.</ref>
In the recent book, ''The Clinton's War on Women'', the authors cite a [[Sociology|sociological]] phenomena known as [[elite deviance]] in a society where the elites no longer believe the rules apply to them and their behavior is justified and facilitated by a cadre of [[sycophant]]s, [[apologist]]s, supporters, and surrogates collectively known as the Clinton smear machine.<ref>https://www.lifezette.com/polizette/the-hillary-clinton-smear-machine/</ref><ref>''[http://greatbookcorner.com/data/thepopularbook.site/T/the-clintons-war-on-women-roger-stone--93pfuGF9wiHCc6-8BX16-8ZvB6-8AVI6d.pdf The Clinton's War on Women]'', pp. 16-17 pdf.</ref>

==== 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>

== Racism ==
:''See also [[Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign]]'' and ''[[Bill and Hillary Clinton and racism]]''
Bill and Hillary Clinton are known for there cynical manipulation of Black voters and pandering to "white working class, hard-working white" nativist sentiment.<ref>https://youtu.be/vjoMcqMTMfw</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/ijhL3-5sr18</ref> Reminiscent of her famous "bring them to heel" speech, while discussing police shootings [[Hillary Clinton]] said, "We have got to rein in what is absolutely inexplicable" without bothering to explain what is inexplicable.

Hillary's racism runs deep.

=== 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.

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 following month, Gen. Carter Ham, the chief of U.S. Africa Command, said that Boko Haram provided a 'safe haven' for al Qaeda in the Maghreb (al Qaeda in North Africa) and was likely sharing explosives and funds with the group.<ref>Morrissey, Ed (May 8, 2014).

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.

In June 2008 Hillary Clinton ended her presidential campaign and through a [[powerbroker]] arrangement endorsed [[Barack Obama]] and accepted the position of [[Secretary of State]] upon Obama's election.

== 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. Security Council which passed a 'fig leaf' resolution to give its proponents, Hillary Clinton, [[Nicolas Sarkozy#Libyan affair|Nicolas Sarkozy]], [[David Cameron]] and Barack Obama an air of legitimacy.<ref>[http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/02/forgotten-war-understanding-incredible-debacle-left-behind-nato-libya.html Understanding The Incredible Debacle Left Behind By NATO In Libya], Posted on February 28, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog.</ref><ref>[http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/03/10/hillary-clinton-the-queen-of-chaos-and-the-threat-of-world-war-iii/ Hillary Clinton: the Queen of Chaos and the Threat of World War III], by Maidhc Ó Cathail – Diana Johnstone, March 10, 2016. www.counterpunch.org</ref> Amidst the ensuing chaos they began blaming each other. Once the [[duplicity]] and betrayal of the U.S. State Department under Hillary Clinton became obvious, Putin moved to shore up defense of his own allies — Russians residing in the [[Ukraine]] and [[Crimea]], and [[Syria]]n President [[Bashar al-Assad]].<ref>[http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/20603 Address by President of the Russian Federation], March 18, 2014. en.kremlin.ru</ref> Putin felt betrayed, the U.N. Security Council resolution was only to provide a no-fly zone aircover for the rebels, not an authorization for direct attacks and intervention against Gaddafi's forces as Putin had been assured beforehand.

=== 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.

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>

''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' summarized the [[Russia collusion hoax]] as: "the [[Trump-Russia|Russia-Trump]] narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the [[FBI]], humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. [[Vladimir Putin]] never came close to doing as much [[disinformation]] damage.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2022/05/22/wall-street-journal-russia-trump-clinton-durham/</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>

=== Illegal fundraising 2016 ===

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>

By late 2019, when speculation was rife that she might enter the 2020 race because of the weak field, she still showed signs of not being over the emotional devastation of her 2016 loss.

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>

On 25 October 2022, ''[[Newsmax]]'' accused Hillary Clinton of pushing conspiracy theories about the 2024 US election in 2 years time.

== Health matters ==

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>

=== 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>

[[File:Trump-tweet-hollywood-and-hunt-movie (1).jpg|right|355px|President Trump voicing outrage towards Hollywood elites in response to the release of ''The Hunt'', a film depicting conservatives being hunted by liberals for sport.]]
NOTE: We at ''Conservapedia'' do not care if a movie is considered a "classic", or if it is a famous movie for which many have nostalgia. If it has [[liberal bias]], then we call it out. Just because people love movies does not mean that [[Hollywood]] isn't trying to push a liberal agenda with them.

While a good amount of [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies|great conservative films]] are produced every year, [[Hollywood values|Hollywood]] continues to produce, en masse, films that attempt to normalize and aggrandize immoral lifestyles and liberal bias. Below is a list of some of the more outrageous examples:

The second film, ''Aliens'', is an anti-Vietnam statement<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T543J2L-gXU</ref> and, just like its predecessor, copies another previous feature (in this case, the 1954 film ''Them!''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVoX-C9J4Zk</ref>).

|The 2016 HBO film based on the presidency of Democrat [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] is a good example of a historical revisionist film, palatable for liberals' regressive dominion of the media. Liberals seized the opportunity with the film to distort history in order to hold Johnson in high regard and also ignored many of the President's faults, including his racism, the War on Poverty, and how it created a welfare state which, by design, destroyed untold numbers of African American families.

|''Beauty and the Beast'' (2017 live-action remake)
|2017
|PG
|On the one hand, the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is another victim in the film trend of needlessly and shamelessly remaking animated films or children's stories for the sake of earning easy revenue and capitalizing on current film trends in the modern, soulless Hollywood studio system. Liberals also seized the opportunity with the remake to exploit diversity and promote some liberal values within the ''Beauty and the Beast'' universe (to be noted that the story takes place in France in the 1700s, if not even before). The final result of the diversity inclusion in the cast of characters is that it feels self-congratulatory in the sense of putting it all in for the sake of having it, rather than having it be just a part of the story and the film. One notable example is the filmmakers' decision to make LeFou, Gaston's diminutive and bumbling sidekick, a homosexual who is conflicted with his feelings for Gaston (although it should be noted that in the actual script, it was never actually specified that LeFou was homosexual.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/03/03/josh-gad-lefou-beauty-and-the-beast/98679284/</ref>). This resulted in AFA's One Million Moms division responding to the change by calling for a boycott of the movie. At the end of the film, LeFou is shown taking a romantic interest in a musketeer who is now a transgender woman after being transformed into one during Gaston's siege of the Beast's castle.

Not only is it an atrocious and needless artistic decision of the filmmakers to needlessly incorporate diversity simply for the sake of it, but the 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' also serves as an example that liberals can legitimately shoehorn the [[homosexual agenda]] into Disney films. Adding salt to the wound, the filmmakers also further changed history to suit their feminist agenda, similar to previous Disney films like ''Mulan'' (1998), ''Pocahontas'' (1995) and ''The Princess and the Frog'' (2009) (most infamously, the villagers are shown to be explicitly intolerant of Belle learning how to read and teaching girls to do the same, smashing her washing machine in the process, despite the fact that the namesake for the village in this film, Mdm. Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, the original author for the fairy tale, was herself a woman). The 2017 film version of ''Beauty and the Beast'' is now even more of a feminist propaganda film than the 1991 animated film version ever was. There were also hints at an anti-war message due to Gaston being turned into a war veteran.

On the other hand, there were also several surprisingly Conservative messages in the film, significantly more than in the 1991 version. Namely, Christianity is treated in a far more positive light in this film than in the 1991 version as one of the few friends Belle has in this version is the village Chaplain named Pere Robert who is shown to be sympathetic to her bibliophilic nature and also attempts to prevent Maurice from being sent to the Asylum, and later is shown to be horrified at the formation of the mob against the Beast (it is to be noted that in the original 1991 film, the character in question was merely a bookseller, not a priest, and most of the villagers, implied to be devout Christians, were demonized in the film), which was also surprisingly accurate to history despite the aforementioned changing of history in the film (in real history, Christianity, especially the Catholic Church, actively encouraged literacy, writing, and arithmetic among both genders, with girls being taught in convents or at the home). In addition, Maurice actually is shown to be more proactive in this film, such as directly refusing Gaston's attempt at marrying Belle and even attempting to expose Gaston as an attempted murderer and psychopath, and also plays a direct role in saving Belle and himself from the paddywagon after his attempt to get the villagers to help failed, and ultimately required saving by her due to catching an illness during his trek, and ultimately needed saving alongside Belle via Chip).

In addition, Lumière as well as the featherduster (named Plumette in this version) are shown to be an actual loving couple (in the original film, this was just hinted, although Lumière seemed more of a womanizer and the featherduster sexually loose), and the remake also doesn't demonize traditional marriage (notably, the remake cut out Gaston's inappropriate wedding proposal as well as Belle shoving Gaston into mud in front of attendees). The forgiveness and redemption theme was also significantly more emphasized in the remake, due to Beast ultimately forgiving Maurice after learning why he had tried to steal the rose and even allowing Belle to save Maurice specifically to make up for his past behavior, with Maurice also forgiving Beast upon Belle showing him the baby rattle. It is also shown to be significantly more pro-family as well, as not only is Belle shown to be loyal to her father like in the 1991 original, but as noted above, Maurice himself took measures to protect Belle and notably agreed with Belle that Gaston would not have worked out for her (originally, Maurice also thought Gaston was alright for her), and he also was shown to be very protective of Belle after his wife had died from the plague, with Belle's mom specifically sacrificing herself by telling them to leave her behind to allow Belle a healthy life.

In addition, the triplets (renamed to "Village Lasses") in the remake were depicted as having haughtiness, arrogance, being jealous of Belle, as well as overall being nasty people, including briefly smirking at Belle when she was locked up in the paddy wagon as well as being actively involved in the arrest of Maurice as well as the later attack on Beast's castle (in the original film, the triplets were not shown to have any negative behavior to them besides their crushing on Gaston [not participating in the later arrest of Maurice, let alone the attack on Beast's castle shortly afterward during the climax, and also implying at one point that they were willing to give their blessing to Gaston marrying Belle when Belle refused him in the beginning of the film, and while they were present during the final lyrics for the Gaston reprise where Gaston explicitly divulged key details for his blackmail plan, the way it was framed could easily be interpreted as the triplets genuinely not knowing about the plan due to their absence from Maurice's arrival up to the scene where Gaston whispers the plan to LeFou.], and it is also heavily implied that they supported traditional marriage and were demeaned in the film by being referred to in the script as The Bimbettes and treated as dumb blondes for this reason). In addition, according to the film's director Bill Condon as well as one of the triplets' actresses, Rafaelle Cohen, the reason the triplets were intensely jealous and spiteful of Belle was because their mother neglected them while doting on Belle, showcasing the dangers of parental neglect.

|''The Big Green''
|1995
|PG
|The movie had one of the characters blame "Reaganomics" for the lack of job opportunities in the town and also one of the team's players was an anchor baby. In the end, one of the coaches, who was a sheriff in Texas, was able to get the player and his illegal mother a way to stay. So it was also favorable toward illegal immigration.

|''The Birth of a Nation''
|1915
|N/A
|This infamously racist film, the longest feature ever made at the time, begins by documenting the [[American Civil War]], then depicts the [[Ku Klux Klan]] as "heroes" who vanquish people of color, who are outrageous black racial stereotypes, from political positions and from their lawful right to vote (the KKK was founded by the Democrat Party, even though the Left has repeatedly tried to deny and cover up the connection between the two). It was the first-ever film to be shown at the White House under Democrat segregationist President [[Woodrow Wilson]], and it significantly influenced his already-racist core to segregate the White House and various departments.
|-
|''Blue State''
|2007
|R
|What looks like a romantic comedy actually encourages the false idea that [[liberalism]] must be established and conservatism abolished in America, as the main character follows up on his absurd vow to move to Canada if [[George W. Bush]] is re-elected president.

|2020
|R
|Based in part on the 1924 short story ''The Most Dangerous Game'' but given a modern political twist, focusing on conservatives from different walks of life being rounded up and hunted for sport by rich elitist liberals. Wikipedia claims in its article about the movie that it is "satire" and, in the article, stated that the movie drew criticism from members of the conservative media as an "alleged" portrayal of liberals hunting supporters of Donald Trump (with the term "alleged" inserted in the article in an attempt to brush off and dismiss said criticism), but it is simply Hollywood elites engaging in thinking out loud about what they wish to do to those who don't agree with or support their leftist political/social groupthink.

|R
|A hacker discovers his world is a replica of the world as it was before a cataclysmic future event in which intelligent machines took over humanity, so he joins a resistance to end the machines' reign. Despite this salvation narrative, the whole trilogy glorifies anarchism and [[nihilism]] (even including a brief nod to [[Jean Baudrillard]]'s "On Nihilism" chapter from Simulacra and Simulation), hinting several times towards a pro-Communist, anti-American (with one scene in the first film, when Thomas Anderson meets Agent Smith, having Anderson's dossier listing Anderson as hailing from "FU, USA" which not-so-subtly is meant to say "[Censored] You, USA"), [[anti-Christian]] view. The second film's Architect scene tries to give a "devastating critique/twist" to salvation myths, with the Architect as a malevolent allegorical substitute for the Christian [[God]]. In this same scene, a panel of screens implicitly compares [[George W. Bush]] to Hitler during a discussion of evil in the world, and it features wars and conflicts specifically involving America. In fact, far-[[leftist|Left]] [[race-baiting]] scholar Cornel West was hired to play a role in the film specifically because the [[The Wachowskis|Wachowski Brothers]] (as they were known at the time) were influenced by his pro-socialist/Communist and anti-American rhetoric. The first film's throwaway dialogue between the main villain Agent Smith and the treasonous freedom fighter Cipher is a shallow attempt at insulting [[Ronald Reagan]] because Smith implies that Cipher will become the next Ronald Reagan should he succeed in betraying his allies to the agents. The trilogy's overall depiction of religion is closer to Gnosticism, even with Neo, the main protagonist, presented as a savior-figure.

The villain of this entry is based on Conservative commentator [[Ben Shapiro]] and wrongly portrays his common sense views on trans people as Nazism.

|''Red Joan''
|2019
|PG-13
|Based on the life of Communist traitor Melita Norwood, who gave up schematics on the British nuclear weapons program to the KGB. The film may be vaguely anti-Stalinist, but is pro-Communist, anti-Cold War, and anti-Western. Near the end of the movie, when the woman's son accuses her of betraying her country, she insists that somehow, she is the real patriot. It's also pro-feminist, as male characters are portrayed as supposedly belittling her, encouraging her to serve tea and do laundry, and rather than leaving these insignificances out of the story, the movie portrays it as integral to the plot when she supposedly tricked the British police into thinking she was stupid and asking them if they wanted tea, though that part of the story is in all likelihood inaccurate and never even happened. Also, the decision by United States President Harry Truman to drop two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in order to end the Second World War is strongly condemned, and to an extent, is demonized. At the end of the movie, she arrogantly says ''twice'', "I was right." "Right" to give Joseph Stalin, the evilest man in history, instructions to build nuclear weapons? She refers to the fact that sharing the nuclear weapons secrets prevented the Cold War from turning hot, and while the situation of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) prevented such an occurrence, there never even would have been a Cold War if Stalin had never acquired nuclear weapons, or otherwise the U.S. would have won a lot sooner. The movie also implied that the tactics of the British police and MI5 were similar to the KGB. Imagine a film had been released portraying Jakiw Palij, the last ex-Nazi in the United States, who was deported by President Donald Trump to Germany, in such a sympathetic fashion. Just more communist propaganda from Hollywood.

John Goodman of the [[ATF]] leads the federal government cavalry to the rescue evoking the glorious image of the Clinton era [[Waco massacre]]. Critics called it one of the director's "Twitter rants fleshed out into film with equal portions of bile sprayed at both church and state"; "Messy, overwritten, ...kind of a bore....it's not a horror movie by any usual definition.

|''Barbie''
| 2023
|PG-13
|Based on the iconic titular fashion doll and directed by liberal misa-feminist Greta Gerwig, ''Barbie'' is a [[feminist]], [[misandrist]] and pro-transgender and gender division agenda film depicting the fantasy realm of Barbieland as a matriarchal utopia where all the different variations of Barbie hold important jobs (including Doctor Barbie, portrayed by a bilogical man) and their male Ken counterparts are unemployed outcasts alongside discontinued toylines. The marketing, knowing perfectly people would not come to see the movie, released every trailer showing just few vague and neutral seconds of the film to trick the public into believing it was just a genuine, apolitical and neutral Barbie-style comedy movie, with Mattel executives panicking to the point of stating via interview that the ''Barbie'' is absolutely not a feminist agenda-driven movie in an attempt to avoid another potential boycott, despite the words of the cast and Greta Gerwig stating the contrary (with also creepy and disturbing statements about "educating the public" on "problematic gender roles/norms" as a "social construct") and other red flags months before the release in the theaters. One obvious message is that the matriarchal Barbieland, where the Kens are treated as insignificant, weak, superfluous, and unimportant "accessories", is the perfect and ideal world compared to the "patriarchal society" in the "real world", despite the fact that the modern Western world described by the film and Greta Gerwig is far from being such a patriarchal and dystopian society. Gerwig self-inserts herself briefly like liberal, feminist, and leftist directors typically do as further proof of their disturbing and creepy narcissism, egocentrism, and self-absorption.

Upon its release, several U.S. cities tried to prevent the movie from being shown, though liberal courts repeatedly affirmed that it met the Miller test (finding it not obscene enough to be banned).

In contrast to the rest of the film series up to this point, ''Captain Marvel'' is explicitly feminist, one example showing a deleted scene with Captain Marvel threatening a man for mild flirts, including "Smile for me" and stealing his belongings. During an interview, Captain Marvel's actress Brie Larson shows some sexism, [[ageism]], and self-loathing [[racism]] by saying that she "won't accept reviews about the movie from 40-year-old white men" (even though she is herself white). The film was also notorious for Disney and Marvel going to extremes to ensure it had any chance at a box office success, including forcing theaters to make it the single showing for a week, buying tickets and lying on the importance of the film to understand ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' released the same year.<ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/03/some-reports-indicate-captain-marvel-is-the-only-movie-playing-at-some-theaters-during-premiere-week/78446/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/KBeUffaNxkY</ref><ref>https://cosmicbook.news/disney-manipulated-captain-marvel-perception</ref><ref>https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/03/13/new-reports-of-empty-theaters-at-captain-marvel-add-to-movies-controversy/</ref> as well as having Rotten Tomatoes remove its negative reviews of the film.<ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/03/rotten-tomatoes-removes-thousands-of-negative-captain-marvel-user-ratings/79348/</ref><ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/02/captain-marvel-rotten-tomatoes-censorship-circumvented-thanks-to-dissenter-extension/78084/</ref>

|''Chuck & Buck''
|2000
|R
|Debauched independent film about a man who revisits another man he traumatized through sexual grooming as a child. The message is that in some instances, groomers are the real victims and greatly misunderstood because of their need for casual sex. Also, if their victims weren't "brainwashed" by moralistic views about sex, most of them would consent to it and see it as a good thing, and no trauma would ever happen. In the film, when he meets the man he seduced in their youth, he encourages him to cheat on his wife, who is "holding him back", and have sex with him in order to desensitize him to hedonism and see monogamy as a perversion. The director and writer of the film is openly bisexual, and plays the role of the groomer who initiates the encounter. He admits it is based on his experiences and fantasies.

|At first your typical buddy cop movie with lots of explosions, shootings and hand-to-hand combats with a global threat and conspiracy and the kidnapping of the child of one of the protagonists as central parts to the plot. However, there's a creepy and disturbing particular element that says it is "aged badly" since its very release would be a gigantic euphemism. To start a conversation, Agent Su asks Anthony if his 8, almost 9-year-old, daughter already has a "little boyfriend", and Anthony replies with a straight "never" and that he would "kill them", therefore admitting with creepy and disturbing nonchalance in the presence of a cop that he would commit literal child murder. This is also a creepy potential sign of a future abusive father, and it's quite likely how liberals viewed and view conservative or traditional fathers.

|Based very loosely on the comics of the same name and deprived of the source material's humor, the film portrays the military in a negative manner. Here, they only want to use superpowered teens as weapons. On top of that, they also changed the race of the Human Torch and his father for political correctness/cultural Marxism reasons.

|1974
|NC-17
|This atrocious movie is made by the same director as ''Pink Flamingos'', starring an overweight delinquent student named Dawn Davenport (played by transvestite Divine) who abandons her family and starts a life of crime. Crime is glorified and embraced, for Dawn decides to start causing crime as a way to get famous, and she even shows no remorse for her actions while she is electrocuted at the end of the movie, thanking her fans for helping her gain infamy. Abuse is also glorified, from Dawn's contempt for her parents to refusing to let her daughter Taffy be a normal girl, beating her harshly and even threatening to kill her for joining Hare Krishna (and eventually does). When Taffy later meets her father, who abandoned the family, he sexually harasses her, pushing an incest vibe as well. The movie also pushes the homosexual agenda, where one woman urges a man to become gay because she thinks of heterosexuality as boring, and it shows two close-up shots of male genitalia as well. Like with ''Pink Flamingos'', this movie got a positive reception from a rather morality-deprived audience.

|''Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom''
|2018
|PG-13
|Unfortunately, Christian movie star Chris Pratt cannot save this film from being a liberal disaster. Like its predecessor, "Jurassic World," this film is also very supportive of feminism. In fact, that is even more apparent, as Chris Pratt's character - Owen Grady - is depicted as heartless for not wanting to save the dinosaurs and preferring to be left alone; on the flip side, the more feminist Claire Dearing is now a dinosaur rights activist, using Owen's ''Velociraptor'' Blue to get Owen to save the dinosaurs with her. At the end of the film, the dinosaurs are released into the wild, putting billions of human lives in danger and clearly conveying an environmental message. Also, one of the younger characters clearly looks like an SJW, and her character acts like one. Not only that, but one of the main antagonists calls her a "nasty woman," which is clearly a jab at Donald Trump. According to one of the actresses, Daniella Pineda, there was intended to be a scene (that was fortunately cut) that revealed that her character, Zia Rodriguez, was a lesbian when admitting she was fond of Chris Pratt's character.<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-star-daniella-pinedas-lesbian-reveal-cut-film-183618705.html</ref>

|''The Little Mermaid'' (live-action remake)
|2023
|PG
|Race-swapped live-action version of the 1989 animated counterpart and classic of the same name. Case in point: Disney changed Howard Ashman's original lyrics to suit more "modern times," as described by the "woke" social media minority in the English-speaking West, as well as many of the accomplishments given to Ariel by the side characters for female empowerment. Many of the men were portrayed as either useless idiots or evil, with Prince Eric (who is now adopted) not being the one who killed Ursula, and that King Triton probably had multiple wives or lovers, judging by all of his daughters being of different races; at least this would be a rational explanation because it would be absurd even for a Disney movie to imagine having multiple daughters of different races with only a wife or lover. One of the background mermen is even cast by a pornstar, further questioning Disney's already-questionable casting choices. Also, Grimsby's attitude towards Eric being with Ariel is more [[Pragmatism|pragmatic]] rather than [[Idealism|idealistic]].

It was a major flop at the box office that failed even to break even, and liberals blamed racism due to Ariel now being black despite the original story being Danish, another piece of evidence of liberal and woke hypocrisy and anti-European and anti-redhead racism and bigotry. Cinema workers and [[YouTube]]/[[Tik Tok]] creators denounced a lack of spectators in the theaters for the film, with videos also showing evidence of that, leading to the assumption that Disney or corporate bots on social media tried to illegally inflate the box office in order to promote the film and mislead the public, like it happened with the ''Captain Marvel'' movie.

|''The Lost World: Jurassic Park''
|1997

|The film is pro-environmentalist and features John Hammond, the original head of Jurassic Park, hiring environmentalist hippies to sabotage his own company in the name of releasing the dinosaurs back into the wild, with the protagonists being depicted as being in the right despite causing explicit destruction and death via their actions, as well as demonizing the corporation for trying to stop them. Also has an anti-hunting message, as one of the main antagonists is explicitly a hunter; adding to that, one of the "heroes" removes bullets from the hunter's gun, putting everyone in even more danger from the dinosaurs, though no one calls him out for it. It is to be noted that such a message not only was not present in the book it was adapted from, but it was, if anything, the complete antithesis to the anti-cloning message from both the original book by Michael Crichton and the 1993 film that adapted it, and that ''Lost World'' acted as a sequel to.

Revisionist piece which unabashedly promotes the feminist agenda to the extent that most of the males are either villains or useless, even going so far as to heavily hint at a transgender philosophy; promotes hard-core environmentalism, [[moral relativism]], and even Marxism; pretty much ruins the morality tale for ''Sleeping Beauty''.

|''Peter Pan and Wendy''
|2023
|PG
|An extremely awful and [[woke]] version of the 1953 animated film, starting with the race-swapping of Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, as well as the race- and gender-swapping of some of the Lost Boys. It features strong [[feminism]], with Wendy having no maternal instincts and instead fighting Captain Hook. Tiger Lily - who was previously portrayed as a damsel in distress - is now portrayed as a warrior. None of the girls in the movie compete with each other for Peter Pan's affections as they did in the original; in fact, Wendy even slaps Peter Pan at one point. The mermaids are completely downgraded and barely appear in the film. Nothing about this film feels childlike; it isn't vibrantly colorful like the original. Actually Great conservative film Peter Pan (2003) has more in common with the original film, despite not even being a Disney film.

The movie is definitely pro-homosexuality, for the main character is seen as right in wanting to attend a dance with a female date, while the townsfolk are painted as bigoted against her because of this. Christianity is also demonized, for a group of Christians at the local mall are labeled as unempathetic because they wanted to follow the Bible and go to church. Middle America - as well as its [[small town values]] that it represents - is also mocked as being stupid and non-progressive, while the urban far-left celebrity lifestyle that the newcomers try to force onto the town is seen as being in the right; the main character even sings about how superior living in a city like San Francisco is compared to rural Indiana.

The movie appears to be anti-business (the company the main character works for is painted in an extremely negative light), a lot of environmentalism throughout (including a more anti-human agenda being pushed), and the actor who played Caesar, Andy Serkis, as well as director Rupert Wyatt, both compared Caesar positively to the Marxist Argentinian revolutionary terrorist and mass murderer [[Che Guevara]].

Velma is implied to be a lesbian, where deleted scenes make it more apparent. Daphne is now a blatant feminist, much like Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fred can be a bit of a womanizer. There are plenty of raunchy innuendos, skimpy clothing among college-age women, glorifying the more decadent stereotype of Spring break, and strong language (including where Fred, possessed by a demon, says the word “b****h”). Pamela Anderson makes a cameo promoting environmentalism. The National Guard is portrayed as helpless. Written by [[James Gunn]], who would later write a more conservative and family-friendly sequel released in 2004.

|''Alita: Battle Angel''

|PG-13
|From producer [[James Cameron]] and director [[Robert Rodriguez]], this American film loosely based on the Japanese manga with the same name supports [[feminism]], [[environmentalism]], [[illegal immigration]] and [[anti-capitalism]], as the villains of the film are depicted as wealthy slavers who live above the poor ghettos. In contrast, the heroes are violent street thugs who hate money.

|''Alpha and Omega''
|2010
|PG
|This animated film about wolves promotes disorderly conduct through the zany antics of an omega wolf named Humphrey. It can also be seen as pro-environmentalist, as some members of the wolf pack try to start eating berries rather than caribou, even though wolves are natural carnivores. Alpha wolves are portrayed in an elitist light for being determined and hardworking. One female wolf, Kate, can be described as a modern feminist. Like the other liberal film, ''Open Season,'' it spawned multiple unnecessary direct-to-video sequels. It is also somewhat comparable to the other liberal film, ''Barnyard: The Original Party Animals'', but in that movie's case, it had a subsequent television series, ''Back at the Barnyard'', rather than film sequels.

The sequels encourage disobedient behavior, as Kate and Humphrey's pups are snarky brats who ignore their parents' orders to stay home; they even try to justify this in the sixth movie by claiming they get into "situations" because they're told to be kind and caring. An instance of racism is shown in the fifth film by three porcupines being told to be friends because they look alike.

|''Animal Farm''
|2026
|PG
|Shockingly distributed by Angel Studios, Andy Serkis's adaptation of ''[[Animal Farm]]'' goes against a lot of what the original story stood for, becoming a generic kids' movie with a sinister undertone. This cautionary tale about communism has been turned into a screed against capitalism, with Pilkington (reimagined as a woman in this adaptation) serving as a blatant expy of Elon Musk, showing that the left has never forgiven Musk for teaming up with President Donald Trump. This also implies that the pigs only turned evil because of capitalism; while Orwell himself had criticisms of capitalism, the movie's message keeps getting hammered over the audience's head. Both sides of the political aisle met it with complete derision, with some joking that the windmill in the movie would be a generator fueled by Orwell "rolling in his grave."

|A goofy meerkat and a pacifistic lion journey with other animals from around the world (a polar bear, two tortoises, a kangaroo, a Tasmanian devil, and a rooster) to take down a dam built by humans that caused the Okavango Delta to dry up. Based on a children's book, the movie promotes a heavy-handed environmental message, with the animals saying humans are harming the world (such as melting a polar bear's snowy home and setting the Outback on fire). The movie's ending amps up the environmental message to eleven, with many animals storming the cities and news reporters saying the animals will make humans pay for ruining the world.

|''An American Tail 3: The Treasure of Manhattan Island''
|1998
|G
|This film, unlike the other three ''American Tail'' films, definitely has a liberal bent, such as vilifying businessmen (though it, I suppose, was mocking the Robber Barons and might have had some merit in that regard). What is harder to excuse is pushing the point of white/European guilt over what happened to the Native Americans, even making Fievel, who himself fled from a bad situation in Russia, somehow feel responsible for the plight of the Native American mice. This film and its negative reception ultimately led to the death of the ''American Tail'' franchise.

|Set in a barnyard where animals speak and behave like humans in the absence of humans, this ''Lion King'' clone stars a bull who witnesses his father die after being wounded by coyotes, then gradually accepts the responsibilities that come with leading his animal community. Nevertheless, ''Barnyard'' tolerates disorderly conduct because the animals still party recklessly, even with a serious, dedicated bull in charge. Plus, it portrays humans as either ignorant or stupid and persecutes coyotes for being carnivores. The neurotic ferret Freddy goes to liberal lengths to avoid the temptation to eat his rooster friend by becoming a [[vegetarianism|vegetarian]]. Not only that, but the bulls lack horns and have female udders, and there are brief scenes referencing alcohol and [[gambling]].

|''Brave''
|2012
|PG
|One of Pixar's less memorable animations stars Mérida, a feminist Medieval Scottish princess who refuses to marry, believing it will cost her her life of archery and adventure, thus demonstrating poor family values throughout. Of course, because this is a feminist propaganda piece, the men in the film are oafish compared to the women, too. Egregiously, Mérida was added to the Disney Princess lineup despite the poor morals she demonstrates throughout the film, and Pixar, not Disney directly, created her. It also has a setting similar to the Great Conservative Film ''How to Train Your Dragon'', which was released two years earlier.

|G
|This Pixar sequel demonizes oil companies while aggrandizing ethanol (mentioned as Allinall). On the film's political agenda, director John Lasseter commented: "Why isn't alternative fuel more... Why isn't everybody jumping on that bandwagon? It makes so much sense: Electricity, solar, whatever. There's ethanol. There's all this stuff you could be doing. And so I thought, well, that could be really cool in that you could have big oil versus alternative fuel. That's when we kind of crafted the bad guy's story."

|''Chicken Little''
|2005
|G
|This painfully unoriginal animation, which was adapted from a 1943 World War II propaganda short by conservative filmmaker Walt Disney (which was itself adapted from one of Aesop's fables), ridicules family values, especially when the title chicken's widower father, Buck "Ace" Cluck, is shown to be willing to disown his son. Later on, when the aliens proceed to attempt to invade and detonate Earth, it is simply because they thought it was a living organism that kidnapped one of their children. The film is borderline nihilistic because the townspeople are mean-spirited and frequently bully Chicken Little, and a brief gag implies that warping someone's mind against their will is acceptable. As one of the worst theatrical productions ever made by the Walt Disney Company under [[Michael Eisner]] (both critics and audiences agree on this), and even the very first Walt Disney Animation Studios' full-length feature completely animated in 3D (so not exactly a good start), the film's mean-spirited and deeply cynical plot line is suspected to have been done to compete with [[DreamWorks]] animated films helmed by [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].

|''The Emoji Movie''
|2017
|PG (Should be PG-13 for multiple references to the dreaded S-word in profanity)
|Not only is this film clearly an infomercial for various smartphone applications and features thinly disguised as an unoriginal take on the "hero's journey" story archetype, but it appears to devalue human language: the main teenager, Alex, can only win over his crush by communicating via text messages comprised exclusively of emojis, and a background teenager even says, "Words aren't cool." Openly homosexual writer and director Anthony "Tony" Leondis considers the movie a deeply personal project for him: the main character is a sentient emoji who is different from his friends with his ability to show multiple expressions, which reflects Leondis' laughable belief that he is an outcast when, in reality, Hollywood praises that sort of sinful sexuality. The film briefly glorifies [[Facebook]], the world's largest social network and a hotbed for narcissism and relationship destruction; it gives minor lip service to feminism in the form of Jailbreak, a computer hacker girl emoji who refuses to be the princess emoji she was created to be; and has been unfavorably compared to ''Wreck-It Ralph'' and ''Inside Out'', two great conservative animations, plus the ambiguously conservative ''LEGO Movie''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvQB-4bBfQ</ref> Worst of all, TJ Miller, who voices the lead emoji, once said the film is a subtle protest against [[Donald Trump]] based on allegations that Trump wants to censor Hollywood and other liberally biased media.

On January 27, 2020, two months before the film was released, a San Francisco tattoo artist named Sweet Cecily Daniher filed a copyright lawsuit against Disney, Pixar, and Onward producer Kori Rae, believing that Pixar had copied the design of her Vanicorn in violation of her rental agreement with the company, as well as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Visual Artists Rights Act, and the California Artists Protection Act.

Plus, a businesswoman is the main antagonist, and an exterminator is scorned for simply doing his job. In addition, one of the other main antagonists of the film (and the only animal main antagonist), Vincent the Bear, is villainized for forcing RJ the Raccoon to replace the food he had after the latter, in a botched attempt to steal food that Vincent had hoarded for the winter, ended up accidentally destroying the food stash, with an ad-libbed scene in the climax having Vincent admit that he got where he was by "backstabbing, betraying, and murdering" those that placed trust in him, which can be interpreted as a dig against Capitalism and the concept of private property.

At the same time, the various wild animals are portrayed positively in interfering with his business. One of their plans against MacGregor even goes so far as to have Peter Rabbit murder him by exploiting a food allergy that he had, and it is treated positively. It was so much so that even the liberal website [[TV Tropes]] grudgingly acknowledged, in the articles "Unintentionally Sympathetic" and "Unintentionally Unsympathetic," that Thomas was closer to being in the right than Peter and his friends were. A sequel, ''Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway'', was released in 2021.

|''[[Pocahontas (1995 film)|Pocahontas]]''
|1995
|G
|This feminist story follows a highly fictionalized account of the life of [[Native American]] [[Pocahontas]] with an environmental message; and the Native Americans' view against English settlers is similar to Howard Zinn's revisionist history textbook ''A People's History of the United States'', which would enter public knowledge and be provided to universities, colleges, and high schools across America two years later (see ''Good Will Hunting''). The titular character enters what is implied to be an unfaithful relationship with John Smith over fellow Native American Kokoum, and her decision is treated in a comparatively positive light; while the English settlers are vilified simply for establishing the early American colonies to find Jamestown, and John Ratcliffe in particular was demonized as having the motive of trying to establish a gold mine and being greedy, despite gold never being the motive for Ratcliffe, which could be interpreted as a dig at capitalism. Also, unlike the film character, who was the victim of a mutiny, the real one was killed in an ambush by Powhatan Indians in 1609, along with 14 other men.

Following the Best Picture nomination of ''Beauty and the Beast'' at the 64th Academy Awards and its subsequent loss in March 1992, then-studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg opted to produce another animated sweeping romantic epic in hopes of achieving a cinematic masterpiece status and replicating another Best Picture nomination, even if he intended to distort history and add both a love story and environmental themes. In fact, many people at Disney had high hopes for ''Pocahontas'', while deeming the concept of another film in production, ''The Lion King,'' as experimental. To their surprise, ''The Lion King'' became one of the greatest animated motion pictures of all time, while ''Pocahontas'' received mixed critical reviews and below-expected box office receipts.

|''Sausage Party''
|2016
|R
|As the first R-rated American animated film to be released by a major film studio in the United States following 1999's ''South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut'', ''Sausage Party'' blatantly criticizes religion and deceives audiences into thinking that, without religion and the existence of God, everyone can enjoy the most selfish, crude, and debauched activities (e.g., humanism, homosexuality, obscenity, and non-stop sexual intercourse) without guilt or a sense of a "religious obligation". Made by Nitrogen Studios. A typical offensive and raunchy comedy film by modern Hollywood standards, directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, producer Megan Ellison, producer/writer Evan Goldberg, and producer/writer/actor Seth Rogen (all of them fiercely liberal and some, ironically, of Jewish origin) made this film to bastardize the animation genre, as well as to push the liberal Hollywood agenda on politics and religion. For the past century, animated feature films have enthralled and entertained audiences worldwide, as the best ones tell timely stories that children, teenagers, and adults alike can relate to and enjoy. The makers of ''Sausage Party'' seemed not to care about any of this, as they made this untimely film strictly for adults and believed that there aren't animated films for adults only to enjoy. The film's criticism and parody of many other animated films (namely Disney animations), along with the presence of regular Disney collaborator Alan Menken as the film's songwriter, make this warped belief clear. Altogether, ''Sausage Party'' is painfully unfunny and has virtually no plot or philosophical merit. Only liberal-biased film critics praised the film upon its release, while general audiences were repulsed by it.

On a side note, ''Sausage Party'' has attracted much criticism on two additional issues. First, the animators worked under poor, cruel conditions and the directors forced them to work overtime without pay. Thirty-six of the 83 animators were blacklisted and went uncredited in the film, believed to be due to their complaints; comments made in anonymous interviews of some of the animators involved in the project by ''Variety'', ''The Washington Post'', and ''The Hollywood Reporter'' alleged that the comments were accurate. All the animators in the film were told outright that they would be blacklisted if they did not work overtime without pay. Second, a red-band trailer for the film was accidentally played before a showing of the Walt Disney Pictures/Pixar Animation Studios' PG-rated and family-oriented ''Finding Dory'', at a Concord, California multiplex in mid-June 2016.<ref>http://ew.com/article/2016/06/29/theater-plays-sausage-party-trailer-before-finding-dory-apologizes/</ref> The theater staff had forgotten to switch out an adult-audience trailer roll for one meant for G and PG-rated films, when adding additional screens to carry ''Finding Dory'' to meet audience demand. The incident occurred only once, and the theater apologized, while Rogen [[Twitter|tweeted]] that the story "made his day".

|N/A
|An animated film written by [[Fred Glass]], narrated by [[Ed Asner]], and made for the California Federation of Teachers. It repeated rhetoric made by the [[Occupy Wall Street]] group about taxing the rich to have "their fair share" and demonized Capitalism in various ways, including blaming it on Asian sweatshops as well as the housing bubble bursting in 2008. [[Kirsten Powers]], a member of [[The Daily Beast]], and herself no stranger to liberal politics, acknowledged alongside conservative economist for ''The Daily Caller'' Tucker Carson on the Sean Hannity show that the cartoon was simply inexcusable and disgusting, with Sean Hannity also explicitly referring to it as a "disgusting hit piece".<ref>https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sean-hannity-slams-ed-asner-398102</ref><ref>http://reagancoalition.com/articles/2012/20121206006-ca-union-class.html</ref> The film was particularly infamous for a scene where, in a segment covering the trickle-down effect, a corpulent rich man representing the 1% of wealthy Americans, after having the scales literally stacked up in his favor regarding money, upon being asked why the 1% needed so much money, he responded "Don't worry, this is good for you too, it will trickle down from us to you", with the latter statement being accompanied with a graphic of the rich man proceeding to urinate on the other ordinary people as they yell in protest. Although later versions freeze the footage just before the man pees on the crowd in response to the complaints about the scene, it was still implied by residual audio of the urine stream. Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin of the Sean Hannity Show both expressed disgust with the video when covering it, and when one of the producers confronted Ed Asner as the latter was about to attend one of his roles in a play, the latter falsely claimed he didn't remember what he said on it, and also claimed that the bit about rich people peeing on poor people was disgusting only because it should have been in reverse, and then asked the producer if he had any money, and if so, if he should "p*** on [the producer]."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr1ZzsAzq_M</ref>

Don Juan willingly submits to being taken prisoner and coerces his companions to do the same. It also shows disrespect towards the tragedy of the Titanic and those who died on that night by referring to the Titanic as "mythical."

|Attempts to "humanize" followers of [[The Satanic Temple]] and literal [[satanism]], specifically depicting them as they try to get their monuments to [[Satan]] on government property and push their evil ideology on children, all while vilifying Christian values and portraying Conservative activists like Jason Rapert, an Arkansas State Senator who successfully got a monument of the [[10 Commandments]] erected in front of the Arkansas State Capitol building, as un-patriotic bigots.

|''Hearts and Minds''
|1974
|Not Rated
|A documentary about the Vietnam War that was inherently anti-American in its nature. Also, depicts [[Catholic]]s as bigots. It also had a brief clip at the beginning which had the rolling crew having one of the higher officers forced to talk to them with the false promise that they'd burn the tape once he is finished with it. It also has several moments of graphic sex between soldiers and Vietnamese prostitutes. It also implies throughout the film that several atrocities conducted by the North Vietnamese communists were done by Americans, including the footage where a girl ends up burned by [[napalm]] and running out naked. Noteworthy for being almost single-handedly responsible for forcing America out of Vietnam (even having the NVA mailing the producers thanking them for "ensuring peace" in Vietnam) as well as it being an influence for far-left schlockumentarist/propagandist Michael Moore, with some of its filming techniques even being reused for ''Farenheit 9/11''.

|''Benedetta''
|2021

|One of the most disgusting displays of blasphemy ever. Made by liberal atheist Paul Verhoeven, this is a film that dares to insult the sanctity of Catholic nuns by suggesting that they are lesbians and scam artists. It also insults God by portraying Jesus engaging in graphic sexual acts during a dream sequence and suggests that all Church leaders rape and have sex with women of lesser stature. Not even the Virgin Mary is safe from ridicule in this awful monstrosity, as a statue of her is carved into a sex toy and used during some of the most graphic lesbian sex scenes. It is also somewhat of a celebration of BDSM, as many of the torture scenes in the film are depicted as sexual. A horrendous film that was protested throughout the world. In the United States, the patriotic pro-family group The American TFP. It was also outright banned in Russia and Singapore. The film was huge failure to producers with budget of $21.3 million and only got $4.3 million from box office.

|''[[The Last Temptation of Christ]]''
|1988
|R
|The film's eponymous final sequence depicts the crucified Jesus—tempted by what turns out to be Satan in the form of a beautiful, androgynous child—experiencing a dream or alternative reality where he comes down from the cross, marries Mary Magdalene (and later Mary and Martha), and lives out his life as a full mortal man. He learns on his deathbed that he was deceived by [[Satan]] and begs God to let him "be [God's] son," at which point he finds himself once again on the cross. At other points in the film, Jesus is depicted as building crosses for the Romans, being tormented by the voice of God, and lamenting the many sins he believes he has committed.
Because of these departures from the gospel narratives—and especially a brief scene wherein Jesus and Mary Magdalene consummate their marriage—several Christian groups organized vocal protests and boycotts of the film prior to and upon its release. One protest, organized by a religious Californian radio station, gathered 600 protesters to picket the headquarters of Universal Studios' then-parent company MCA. One of the protestors dressed up as MCA's Chairman Lew Wasserman and pretended to drive nails through Jesus' hands into a wooden cross. Evangelist Bill Bright offered to buy the film's negative from Universal in order to destroy it. The protests were effective in convincing several theater chains not to screen the film. One of those chains, General Cinemas, later apologized to Scorsese for doing so.
Mother Angelica, a Catholic nun and foundress of Eternal Word Television Network, described ''Last Temptation'' as "the most blasphemous ridicule of the Eucharist that's ever been perpetrated in this world" and "a holocaust movie that has the power to destroy souls eternally."
In some countries, including Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina, the film was banned or censored for several years. As of July 2010, the film continues to be banned in the Philippines and Singapore.

The film portrays them as "brave" (because Hollywood hasn't bashed Christianity enough) but ignores the fact that homosexual infiltrators within the Church, seeking to discredit and damage the Church, were responsible for the atrocities and their subsequent coverup. Strangely, the same unspeakable acts have been happening legally in Islamic nations but they are conveniently ignored by the liberal media (if the journalists uncovered that, then that would be an example of bravery). It also downplays the effect homosexuality had by having several characters specifically deny that homosexuality was a factor in their victimization and subsequent turns to homosexuality.

|''The Truman Show''
|1998
|PG
|An atheism and humanism propaganda piece about liberal president Harry Truman. Truman doesn't realize his seemingly ordinary life is a reality TV show, overseen by Christof, the show's heartless and manipulative creator. Christof lives in the fake sky above Truman, watching over him, controlling everything from the weather to Truman's destiny. He is an allegorical substitute for the Christian God. (Notice "Christ" in his name.) Truman must escape from the false world of the show (Christianity) and triumph over Christof. As Truman appears to walk on water in the ending, the film is displaying the false, human-worshipping sentiment that man can replace God and be Lord of his own life.

At one point, her daughter confesses only to him that she is also a virgin and encourages him not to feel bad about it. However, her mother, who has been on multiple dates with him, is still unaware of his virginity. After their proposed deadline by which the two agreed to eventually have sex, he tells her of his virginity and stays reluctant about giving in.

|''[[Aladdin (1992 film)|Aladdin]]''
|1992
|G
|Based on the classic Arabian folk tale ''Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'', a poor but charitable thief is sent by Jafar, a sinister vizier, to search for a mysterious oil lamp rumored to contain unbelievably powerful magic. Upon finding this, he accidentally releases the comical genie, who grants his wish to become a prince so he can legally court Jasmine, the sultan's daughter. On the one hand, the film is set in what is implied to be a Muslim state, and Aladdin resorts to lying to try to marry Jasmine. A slight feminist bent is present because Jasmine refuses to marry, ignoring the law requiring it (although, in her defense, it's implied to be a recent law made by her father to be sure she is married to someone to rule the city and "taken care of" because he's "not gonna be around forever"). In addition, some lyrics from the opening song were notably cut for fear of offending the Arab populace, implying that the film is politically correct. The Sultan is portrayed as a massive bumbler and overgrown child, which may hint at an anti-parenthood agenda, but also shows character and authority in a few instances. But on the other hand, the film does ultimately push character integrity because Aladdin ultimately decides against lying and tells Jasmine the truth about himself. Disregarding the film's slight politically correct treatment of Arabia, it ultimately showcases some more negative elements of Islamic culture via a vendor nearly chopping Jasmine's hand off when she "steals" some food to feed a starving child, as well as depicting Prince Achmed in a very negative light via his cruelty to Aladdin and children attempting to stop him. The prince is portrayed as a poor example of a husband, so it is subtly suggested that Jasmine refused to marry because all the princes she encountered had, in fact, been as bad as Achmed. She then falls for Aladdin because he saves her life and shows her kindness. In addition, it is made clear that while Aladdin does steal and initially had an infamous reputation for his thefts, it's solely in order to survive on the streets, with it being heavily implied that he was an orphan, and he also selflessly gives his stolen food to starving children after initially planning to eat it. There is a lesser condemnation against the occult, as the only explicit magic-user besides Aladdin's Genie is Jafar, the main villain, who dreams of becoming the world's most powerful dark sorcerer.

|The second film, ''Aliens'', is an anti-Vietnam War statement<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T543J2L-gXU</ref> and, like its predecessor, copies another earlier feature (in this case, the 1954 film ''Them!''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVoX-C9J4Zk</ref>). However, liberal pundits currently denounce it as a pro-war film, and it is to be noted that despite technically pushing anti-Vietnam messaging, it unintentionally ends up being a pro-Vietnam statement at the same time, as the Vietcong stand-in for the film was the titular antagonists, the Xenomorphs, hinting at the Vietcong being depicted negatively. Motherhood is also depicted neutrally. Although the Xenomorph Queen, who is depicted as embracing her maternal instincts, is depicted in a negative light, the film's protagonist Ellen Ripley was also shown to embrace motherly instincts as well and treated positively for it, acting as a surrogate mother to the orphan Newt and going out of her way to protect and rescue her in the film (most feminists even back then, much less today, tend to demonize the concept of motherhood).

The theft of the crystal to become rich could be seen as a condemnation of capitalism. That being said, however, capitalism has also been promoted in a more positive light in the form of Preston B. Whitmore, an eccentric but ultimately good-hearted billionaire who funded the expedition in the first place, and in addition, most of the principal cast was shown to have dreams of getting a better lot in society, with it being heavily implied in the ending that they ultimately succeeded in achieving those dreams after selflessly trying to save Atlantis, which acts as an implicit promotion of both capitalism and the American Dream.

|Paints Christmas in a positive light and has Beast learn its meaning while putting aside the past he had blamed for his curse. Also significantly tones down the more feminist messaging from the original film. The manner in which Christmas was depicted, however, was closer to the secular view of Christmas than the actual intended meaning of the holiday being a celebration of the birth of [[Jesus Christ]]. The movie overall, however, is objectively of very low quality and pretty forgettable to say the least, and since it is a direct-to-video sequel/midquel realized by another studio (now defunct) and with a lot of incoherences, it's not even canon in the universe of the original animated classic film that preceded it.

|''Bohemian Rhapsody''
|2018
|PG-13
|A biopic of [[Freddie Mercury]], the lead singer of the band Queen. While it does show elements of the practice of homosexuality and hedonism, at the same time, the film largely condemns the practice since it was made clear that Mercury's embracing of these things was what ultimately ruined Queen and his personal relationships, and is what ultimately killed him via AIDS. In addition, Paul Prenter, the only other major character to embrace homosexuality in the movie, was depicted in a very negative light, as he was one of the reasons Mercury went down a bad path, with it being made clear later on that Paul largely was using Mercury for his own gratification, blamed others for his bad ideas, and even hid vital information from Mercury deliberately such as the Live Aid concert plans as well as Mary Austin calling him. It also had a promotion of redemption, as Mercury, inspired largely by his former girlfriend/wife, Mary Austin, nearing the end of the film, attempts to reconnect with his band and family and make amends in the time he had left before dying from AIDS. That all being said, however, it's debatable whether the film intended to paint his homosexual escapades in a negative light, as several members of the production company, including Freddie Mercury's actor Rami Malek, indicated that it was a "regrettable" decision as a result of not having enough time to give a "more balanced" view of (i.e., promoting) his bisexual lifestyle.

|''The Brady Bunch Movie''
|1995
|PG-13
|A parody of the famous 1970s sitcom, the Bradys still act like their normal selves even though it's set in the mid-1990s. The plot is about Mike owing the IRS $20,000 in back taxes, and with his 1970s architectural style not being hip with new clients, and spending a bunch of money on trips to the Grand Canyon and Hawaii, they may have to sell the house, which is what Larry Dittmeyer needs for his plan to turn the neighborhood into a mall. On one hand, the High School counselor is played by the infamous drag queen RuPaul, and Marcia's friend Noreen is heavily implied to be lesbian. However, Peter, who's going through puberty, eventually builds up the courage to knock down the bully Eric Dittmeyer and win over his crush, and the Bradys always stick together, regardless of whether the house forecloses or not, even if the road is rough.

Four members of the original cast cameoed in this film being Christopher Knight as a coach who encourages Eric Dittmeyer to beat up Peter, Barry Williams as a record producer who turns down Greg after hearing him sing “Til I Met You (Clowns Never Laughed Before),” Ann B.

While the bear in real life died from an overdose, the bear in the movie lives and terrorizes people in the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia. On the one hand, there is plenty of swearing (even from the kids), blood, and drug use in this film. On the other hand, the movie also shows the damage drugs can do; the two main kid characters try a brick of cocaine but spit it out immediately. A sense of family is also upheld, as the single mother Sari is determined to find her lost pre-teen daughter despite being in the woods with a cocaine-riddled bear roaming around. Two drug-dealers also eventually decide not to carry out their boss's insane orders, one of them - his son - promising to be a better father to his son (he had left his son in the drug boss's care to drink over his dead wife, which his father and best friend call him out on).

|''Django Unchained''
|2012
|R
|Quentin Tarantino's own version of the Django character (there's a scene where the original Italian Django makes a cameo and Tarantino's version speaks to him, another tribute by Tarantino to the Spaghetti-Western genre that has always been his source of inspiration). As is common for Tarantino's movies, graphic violence with practical effects and the constant use of the word nig*er are the norm also here, but this time there is one revisionist take on the author of the book ''[[The Three Musketeers]]'', in which German former dentist and now bounty hunter Dr. Schultz tells the racist slave owner Calvin Candie that [[Alexandre Dumas]], the author of ''The Three Musketeers'', of which Candie is a reader, is black and said in a way like he was not even French. This, of course, is widely known to be false, and it takes very little to debunk this gigantic lie. There's also the ridiculously exaggerated reaction of terrorized people when they see a black man on a horse coming into town; this is surprisingly unrealistic for a Tarantino movie. However, the reason this film is in this section is because the protagonist Django, when discussing with Schultz the plan to take Django's wife from Candie's plantation pretending to be in the business of slave mandingos, he mentions that there's no worse dishonor than being a black slave owner, and this is a more unique than rare time in which really and historically existed black slave owners in America (just like black [[Confederates]]) are mentioned in a liberal Hollywood film.

|PG
|Based on the 1970 children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl, Wes Anderson's first animated film stars Mr. Fox, an anthropomorphic red fox who used to steal farm birds for a living, as he grows bored with domestic life. He decides to get back into stealing poultry with the help of a meek opossum named Kylie, but their attempt at one final heist brings three farmers - Boggis, Bunce, and Bean - to target Mr. Fox and his family, and he has to enlist the help of his friends and family to fight back against them. On the one hand, the farmers appear to be capitalists since the store that the animals take food from belongs to all three of them (Roald Dahl had refused to put this in the book when he was alive, saying that it would be too easy a solution for the animals, as well as being concerned that it would teach kids to steal). Mr. Fox's son, Ash, is also said to be "different," possibly referencing being homosexual or transgender, with Beaver's son even mentioning that Ash dresses like a girl. The characters also swear, but since it's a PG movie, they replace these swear words with "cuss." On the other hand, while Wes Anderson's style of dysfunctional family shows up here, Mr. Fox ultimately loves his family and would do anything for them, even willing to sacrifice himself to save his nephew when the farmers capture him; he also fights his former partner-in-crime Rat to the death when the latter threatens his son and acts lecherously toward his wife. Mr. Fox also faces the consequences of his thieving ways and vows to make it up to everyone, showing that, despite his arrogance, he wants to do right by his friends and family and admits he was in the wrong.

|''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''
|1996
|G
|Released during Michael Eisner's presidency at Disney, the film presents a mixed package. The original source material wasn't intended for children, yet Disney marketed the film to young audiences.

In some cases, the film is slightly more pro-Christian than its source material. For example, Frollo, the corrupt archdeacon in the novel, is now the minister of justice, and the Archdeacon is a separate character voiced by Davis Ogden Steirs, who serves as the film's positive Christian conscience (albeit the only one). The Archdeacon is the one responsible for saving Quasimodo from Frollo committing infanticide and encourages Esmeralda to pray to God. Phoebus is also depicted in a positive light as an honorable soldier and is shown to genuinely love Esmeralda, even going so far as to save her and Quasimodo. This is a stark contrast to the book, where he was a callous womanizer who abandoned Esmeralda to be hanged.

Christian imagery appears throughout the film, which is appropriate since Notre Dame is a real location, unlike several Disney films set during the Renaissance, where churches lack religious imagery to be more politically correct. The musical score also includes the Latin Requiem Mass.

Unlike most films in the Disney animated canon, this film has the characters rely on God's grace to resolve the conflict rather than on special magic.

On the other hand, the film is even darker than the original novel. Originally, Quasimodo's vicious punishment at the hands of the Parisians during the Feast of Fools ceremony was not corporal punishment; in the Disney film, it was done at the Parisians' whim, just for the sake of it. In addition, Frollo himself was also made significantly more villainous in the movie compared to in the book despite being separated from the archdeacon role, removing most of his redeemable traits in the book (case in point, in the film, Frollo was responsible for killing Quasimodo's mother and nearly killed Quasimodo himself as a baby until being made to raise him as penance by the archdeacon, and was depicted as an abusive father figure overall, as well as depicted as sadistic, in contrast to the original novel, where he willingly took in Quasimodo when he was in fact abandoned by his mom and was depicted as a fairly good father figure, at least until Esmerelda entered the picture). The film also removed some Christian concepts to heighten Frollo's villainy (for example, in the film, Quasimodo is named as an insult for his deformed appearance, whereas in the book he is named after Quasimodo Tuesday). It's also debatable whether it's pro-Christian overall, since while the Archdeacon himself was a positive influence, most of the other Christian characters, without even counting Frollo, were depicted in a very negative light. The director's commentary also implied that they may have included blasphemous material by depicting Frollo in a crucifix pose as he descends into Hell during the Hellfire visuals.<ref>DVD Commentary: "Here's some more of our ham-fisted symbolism--Frollo falls down in the shape of a crucifix!"</ref> The film, however, shows a clear case of divine punishment in animation, represented by the death of Frollo, literally seeing the Devil in the face, before falling to his horrible death into the "fiery pit". Also pretty ironic, considering that his last words a few instants before his death were "And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit!", when he was going to kill Esmeralda and Quasimodo with his sword.

To make the film even darker, a gypsy genocide plot is introduced, and Paris is also the victim of arson late into the film. The song 'Hellfire' was also notorious for making explicit references to lust. Not necessarily a bad thing, it can be considered courageous, original, surprising, and artistically entertaining, especially for families with kids who aren't "snowflakes". However, this is in stark contrast to most other Disney film adaptations, which have a history of toning down the original works (as in ''[[The Jungle Book]]'', where Disney advised the writers to ignore the book specifically because its contents were unsuitable for children). However, on the other hand, other films from the Walt's era were more dark with particular horror and dramatic elements than their original counterparts and source materials, like ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'', ''[[Pinocchio]]'' (with evil and sadistic Stromboli unlike his novel countepart Mangiafuoco, the demonic and sa distici Coachman and all the cursed Pleasure Island with the impressive children turning into donkeys scene, and the terrifying whale Monstro), all the ''[[Night on Bald Mountain]]'' segment in ''[[Fantasia]]'' (with Chernabog and even harpies showing bare breasts, though for a few seconds), ''[[Dumbo]]'' (with its Pink Elephants on Parade allucination caused by accidental consumption of alcohol), ''[[Bambi]]'' (for the (in)famous scene of the death of Bambi's mother), ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]'' and ''[[101 Dalmatians]]'', this latter two specifically for their villains' scenes (Maleficent and Cruella De Vil). The Gypsies were also depicted in a more positive light, to the extent that they, at times, were considered preferable to Christianity, despite Gypsies essentially being pagans. The film also hints at race swapping: Esmerelda is made into an ethnic gypsy, whereas in the original book she is a blonde Parisienne and the daughter of an anchoress who is abducted by the gypsies and made one of their own.

Worst of all, one of the male gargoyles falls in love with Djali, who is male according to some descriptions (voiced, however, by a female voice-actress and fans mostly refer to it as a female goat, and probably the gargoyle confused Djali with a female goat, assumption supported by his known clear stupidity), which may have meant that liberals will subtly shoehorn the homosexual agenda into anything, even the gargoyles of Notre Dame (and also comes across as extremely hypocritical and blasphemous due to homosexuality being tolerated even less by God than Frollo's lust for Esmerelda, based on God explicitly referring to the concept as an abomination in Leviticus as well as his destroying Sodom and Gomorrah largely because of the practice of homosexuality). However, this should be taken with a grain of salt, because the DVD audio commentary Kirk Wise (co-director), Gary Trousdale (co-director), and Don Hahn (producer) suggest that it's possible that the three gargoyles exist purely in Quasimodo's mind and are in fact split-off portions of his own personality created to deal with his loneliness. This doesn't explain, however, their scenes when Quasimodo is absent, how animals (especially Esmeralda's goat) can see them alive, the damage thev do to Frollo's soldiers in the climax, and their constant change of positions when they stop animating themselves.<ref>'''Gary Trousdale:''' We've always operated under the assumption that the gargoyles were kind of figments of Quasimodo's imagination. They didn't really move around, or did they? You know...

'''Kirk Wise:''' Yeah, we like leaving a little bit of a question mark; kind of like Harvey the rabbit or Calvin and Hobbes.

'''Gary Trousdale:''' They're inanimate when anybody else comes in the room. They don't talk to anybody else, except the goat. So that's here we kind of crossed the line a little bit.

'''Kirk Wise:''' We like to keep it a little bit iffy.</ref> So this matter could have less to do with the liberal agenda and more to do with poor writing. On a positive note, it is to be noted that the directors admitted that the implication that Hugo lusted after Djali was a line that even the directors admitted they shouldn't have crossed, which is a rarity ''especially'' in today's media where they are all for crossing said line.

|''The Iron Giant''
|1999
|PG
|This animation espouses anti-war themes and also brief but strong anti-hunting sentiments. Firearms in general are shown in a negative light, with the phrase "guns kill" being repeated a total of three times. The titular giant is called a "big gun that walks." From a conservative viewpoint, he is a poor metaphor for a real gun; unlike a law-abiding citizen who is a gun owner, the giant has no choice in his actions because he is a war machine programmed with the inability to use his weapons for good, but only to use them thoughtlessly and senselessly. The story follows him as he learns to hide his weapons and "not be a gun." The conclusion is that, in order to protect the public from an incoming missile, he must fly into it and kill himself rather than use his guns against it. As it is explained, "It's bad to kill, but it isn't bad to die." In addition, despite being set during the Cold War, it largely downplays the Soviet menace that was occurring during that time, as the main antagonist, Kent Mansley, is a government agent (implied to be part of the NSA) investigating the titular Iron Giant who at one point while launching a tirade against Hogarth Hughes alludes to the possibility that the Communists may have been responsible for the Giant's creation as a means to destroy America and that they must destroy it before "it destroys us" and is treated negatively for it. Also features some foul language.

That all being said, however, despite the definite anti-gun and anti-hunting themes, the film does portray the military in a fairly positive light, as General Rogarth was shown to be even-headed and only willing to use military force if confronted with evidence requiring for it, also making clear that he was not happy about bringing out an implied large military force for what was apparently a hoax, and while the military does try to attack the Iron Giant late into the film, it was only because they had been manipulated into doing so by Kent Mansley by the latter lying about the giant killing Hogarth Hughes, and only when confronted with evidence that Hogarth had in fact been alive did the military stand down. In addition, when Hogarth left to investigate evidence of a "Martian" taking out an antenna, he saluted a photograph of his father, who was implied to have died during World War II. Also features a positive portrayal of the American icon Superman. It also conveys an anti-materialist message and an implicitly Christian one, as Hogarth tells the Giant that humans and other forms of life have souls that live on even after their mortal bodies die.

|Although it contains the chivalry and capitalist themes from the original animated film. This both race and gender swapped live-action remake of the timeless animated classic of the same name shows the Democrat Jim Crow South of the early 1900s as a delusional and misleading multiethnic and multicultural paradise, with also totally legal interracial marriages. Compared to the animated counterparts, the animal characters are soulless, inexpressive, and unbearable if not even creepy to watch when they "talk". Jim Dear, white here like in the source material, is legally married to Darling but here changed to a black American woman and with a black-mixed daughter named Lulu instead of a son named Jim Jr.. Even Aunt Sarah is cast in black in this live-action version, and she loses the redeeming qualities she had in the original animated film. The neighbor dog and dear Lady's friend Jock is female here, while the antagonistic and mischievous Aunt Sarah's iconic female Siamese cats, Si & Am, are now two male Devon Rex cats named Devon & Rex, with a totally different and much less memorable musical number. The rat, "Herman", is still the main villain and antagonist, but far less intimidating and scary-looking than the animated counterpart, and despite his musical theme being memorable, the same cannot be said for the final fight scene when compared to the animated version.

Mufasa is an orphaned lion cub who befriends another cub named Taka, who later becomes Scar. When a white lion named Kiros attacks their home, the brothers flee and journey to a promised land called Milele, which later becomes the Pride Lands.

On the one hand, the movie hints at feminism throughout. In real life, lionesses do most of the hunting for the pride, but the movie seems to favor them more than the males. Taka's father, Obasi, even gives his son terrible advice on how to be a king, such as being lazy and lying to his subjects.

On the other hand, the movie portrays family and friendship more positively. Mufasa and Taka bond as brothers, and Taka's mother, Eshe, comes to care for Mufasa like another son. In the present, Simba is shown to be a good father to Kiara, telling her to be brave while he checks on Nala, who is giving birth to her second cub.

It's also debatable as to whether it promotes feminism, as aside from Charlotte LeBoeuf being depicted in a positive light overall as noted above, it implies at one point that Tiana achieving her dreams of being a CEO is ultimately a negative due to the main villain Dr. Facilier using that to tempt her into aiding him.

For example, ''Saw'' condemns the adultery committed by Dr. Lawrence Gordon. ''Saw III'' focuses on the value of forgiveness, John having Jeff Denlon complete three tests involving the three people whom he blamed for the death of his young son. ''Saw IV'' contains a very strong message of letting go and letting people find salvation and redemption for themselves, an allusion to biblical passages about the subject. However, it could also be argued that Jigsaw is playing God with the value of human life, by bringing his test subjects to the very edge of death, forcing them to gravely hurt themselves, in order to survive. Furthermore, in ''Saw III'', one of his apprentices, Amanda Young, is revealed to have rigged traps to kill her victims, even if they successfully complete their games, as she no longer believes in Jigsaw's philosophy. However, John is shown clearly shown to be disgusted by Amanda's actions, though nevertheless trying to guide her to redemption, or at least his version of it. Other condemnations of nihilism include the clearly sociopathic depiction of corrupt Detective Mark Hoffman, the most important of Jigsaw's apprentices, as he, like Amanda, strays from John's philosophy and simply rigs traps to murder his victims, while also carrying out the games that John had planned before his death at the end of ''Saw III.''

|1977-1983 (Original Trilogy); 1999-2005 (Prequel Trilogy); 2015-2019 (Sequel Trilogy)
|PG, PG-13 (Episode III & Episodes VII-IX)
|The well-known space opera series is mostly composed of simple truths about the triumph of good over evil, and in the case of ''Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'', redemption. However, ''Episode VI'' also contained some implied pro-[[Vietcong]] propaganda at George Lucas' behest via the Ewoks, as well as his later claiming that the entirety of the ''Star Wars'' saga from ''Episodes IV''-''VI'' was meant to be his means of protesting Vietnam (which is supported by a memo dating back to 1973 where he claimed the film was about "A large technological empire going after a small group of freedom fighters." It is also to be noted that this was not the first time he voiced support for the Vietcong as well as used film to push an anti-American/anti-War agenda, as he also initially played a role in the filming of ''Apocalypse Now''<ref>http://nypost.com/2014/09/21/how-star-wars-was-secretly-george-lucas-protest-of-vietnam/</ref>), and the re-release for ''Episode IV: A New Hope'' also had an infamous edit where it made it seem as though Greedo shot at Han first, with George Lucas later revealing he did the edit (or rather, falsely claimed it was always that way) as a means to promote gun control. Regarding the pro-Vietcong sentiment being pushed in ''Return of the Jedi'', former president [[Richard Nixon]] in his 1985 book ''No More Vietnams'' cited ''Return of the Jedi'' as ultimately one reason why America, at least by that time, had initially felt so guilty of their strength that they were unwilling to use it even to defend their freedom and that of others.<ref>''No More Vietnams'' by Richard Nixon, 1985 Chapter 1: The assertion that our very bigness is badness has infested our culture to a surprising degree. The creator of the phenomenally successful Star Wars series recently explained that the climactic scene in one of his moves - in which the evil “Empire’s” giant war machines are destroyed by fuzzy little good guys with wooden bows and arrows - was inspired by the Vietnam experience. No matter that in Vietnam the Communist “good guys” packed Soviet automatic rifles and, in 1975, rode state-of-the-art Russian tanks across the South Vietnamese border. The propaganda of disproportionate forces in Vietnam, the myth of small/good versus big/bad, did enough damage to help lose the war for the United States and the people of South Vietnam. Today it is one symptom of the Vietnam syndrome to the extent that it makes Americans ashamed of their power, guilty about being strong, and forgetful about the need to be willing to use their power to protect their freedom and the freedom of others.</ref>

The prequel trilogy also had some implied pot-shots at then-president George W. Bush and his War on Terror, and there was also an implied promotion of moral relativity in ''Revenge of the Sith'' (where Obi-Wan, when confronting Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the climax, stated in reply to Anakin's declaration that Obi-Wan is his enemy if he's not with him that "only a Sith deals in absolutes."). A similar promotion of moral relativity and postmodernism was shown in ''Return of the Jedi'' where Obi-Wan admitted that his claim that Vader killed Anakin Skywalker was "true from a certain point of view," as well as further elaborating his claim by stating that "[[Subjectivism|a great many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view.]]" The same movie's ending also carries an implicit promotion of cannibalism. In addition, the Trade Federation and its motives in ''The Phantom Menace'' was crafted by George Lucas to be a negative response to the Republican Revolution of 1994, and in particular Newt Gingrich's Contract with America (with Gingrich himself being a partial namesake of the main villain, Viceroy Nute Gunray). ''Attack of the Clones'' and to a lesser extent ''Revenge of the Sith'' also had very blatant anti-war themes and a very negative portrayal of the military, as a large part of the plot involved creating a military for the republic (and in the case of ''Revenge of the Sith'', the near end of the Clone Wars), with the narrative strongly implying that even forming a military at all was somehow a threat to freedom. To a lesser extent, the Prequel trilogy also has a negative depiction of family values, since it's implied that even holding attachments to family or trying to start a family leads directly to turning to the Dark Side, with Yoda even stating that such acted as "the shadow of greed." Lucas, in an interview with Time Magazine, also made similar jabs on family when explaining Anakin's character arc and his eventually becoming Darth Vader, where he said "Because he [Anakin Skywalker] gets attached to things...He can't let go of his mother...his girlfriend...things. It makes you greedy. And when you're greedy, you are on the path to the dark side because you fear that you're going to lose things. You fear you're not going to have the power you need."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020923140712/http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=15712</ref>

In addition, the director for ''Episode VII: The Force Awakens'', [[J.J. Abrams]], admitted in a press release that he deliberately made Finn black in order to ensure diversity among the characters, hinting at it pushing the leftist [[diversity]] agenda.<ref>https://www.cnet.com/news/director-j-j-abrams-weighs-in-on-diversity-in-the-star-wars-universe/?_escaped_fragment_=#! Two audience members jointly asked Abrams whether -- given his track record of helping build a diverse cast as director of the "Star Trek" reboot films -- he could confirm if there will be more Asian characters in the Star Wars universe. Asian characters are few and far between in the Star Wars franchise -- one appears in the original trilogy's last film, ''Return of the Jedi'', but for only four seconds before dying in a fiery explosion. Abrams said that while he won't be casting future films in the franchise, because he's directing only ''Episode VII'', he did include Asian characters in ''The Force Awakens'', which opened December 18. "I think it's important people see themselves represented in film," Abrams said. "I think it's not a small thing."</ref> Also, the film also hints at a militant [[feminist]] agenda by having Leia act as general and Rey not allowing anyone to save her, something that conservative commentator John Nolte mentioned was a [[detraction]] for the film.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/12/17/star-wars-the-force-awakens-review-j-j-abrams-repents-for-the-sins-of-george-lucas/</ref> In addition, the ending award ceremony in ''A New Hope'' was deliberately modeled after the stadium scene from the infamous Nazi movie propaganda ''The Triumph of the Will''. Ian McDiarmid, the actor who played the saga's main villain [[Emperor Palpatine]], had also implied in an interview with ''The Guardian'' around the time ''Revenge of the Sith'' was released that George Lucas had deliberately made the films for primarily eight-year olds specifically to indoctrinate them into Lucas' leftist view of the world.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/nov/07/theatre1 He [McDiarmid] also bristles at the notion that the Star Wars films are totally hollow entertainments. "I remember when I sat there in the Evil Emperor's swivel chair and George [Lucas] said things like 'does it remind you of the Oval office?' And I realised that at that time Richard Nixon was in his mind. 

"And I see that in the Guardian's review of the DVD - not favourable, of course - mention is made of the fact that there are lines that sound really contemporary. But the reviewer decided that was by chance: no, no, no, no. Entirely by design. 

"George knew that eight-year-olds, for whom these films are primarily intended, are very impressionable, and he wanted to make the right impression. So the whole film is about the unnecessary rise of fascism. In other words: watch out, they're all after your freedom, particularly when they're talking about defending freedom. Without getting over-extended about it, that is at the heart of these movies."</ref>

[[Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi]] also received strong criticism for its apparent 'SJW' bias<ref>Toto, Christian (December 19, 2017).

|''Starship Troopers''
|1997
|R
|Although it overall depicts the Military in a protagonistic light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America." In addition, to reinforce Verhoeven's message, he deliberately modeled various scenes after ''Triumph of the Will'' and other pro-Nazi propaganda scenes, as well as modeled the protagonists' uniforms after the uniforms utilized by the Nazis (i.e., the character Carl, played by Neil Patrick Harris, wearing a uniform that was modeled after the [[SS]]). When asked by Michael Ironside, who was one of the people who had a role in the movie and had read the original book, about why he made the movie despite Verhoeven's leftist politics, he answered "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing ******* bugs!" (note that fascism is not "right wing", it is left wing, so Verhoeven's incorrect regarding which wing the Nazis/fascists were part of).

|Produced by liberal Lloyd Kaufman and his independent company Troma Entertainment, this film contains graphic violence, sex, nudity, and profanity. It also promotes environmentalism, with the fictional town of "Tromaville" called "the toxic waste dumping capital of the world" by the narrator.

However, it also has messages of anti-bullying, anti-crime, and anti-corruption. The protagonist is Melvin Ferd, a scrawny guy who works as a janitor and the local gym and gets pushed around by a bully named Bozo. Bozo and his friends conspire to humiliate Melvin, which ends up with Melvin in a pink tutu and falling head first into a barrel of toxic waste. The chemicals mutate him into a large, deformed mutant with superhuman strength. Melvin, adopting the superhero name "Toxie" then goes around Tromaville fighting crime including: attacking a gang of thugs beating up a police officer who refuses to take a bribe, protecting a Mexican restaurant from an armed robbery and saving a young blind woman named Sara (who becomes Toxie's love interest) from being raped, and rescuing a 12-year-old prostitute from her evil pimp. Tromaville's leadership is shown to be extremely corrupt, with mayor Peter Belgoody who collaborates with the criminals, and the Chief of Police who is a literal Nazi, hinting at an anti-government corruption message.

Professor values

2026-11-08T17:07:30Z

RoadtoEmmaus2: Proofread words 1-2000

'''Professor values''' refer to the common value system embraced by a large percentage of [[professor]]s, just as [[Hollywood values]] refers to the common value system of many in [[Hollywood]] and the entertainment industry.
Professor values are currently one of the most prevalent forms of [[liberal]] indoctrination. Toronto professor [[Jordan Peterson]], who had a teaching stint at Harvard, was asked if you should still send your kids off to college. His response was "Send them to trade school," and "I think you can make the case that universities do more harm than good now."<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wyGK6k6HE Joe Rogan Experience #877 - Jordan Peterson]</ref> Those who hold professor values often lack [[intellectual humility]].

An extremely high percentage of professors disagree with [[conservative]] principles, but very few replace them with the discredited philosophy of [[postmodernism]].<ref>Rothman, Stanley, et al.

Such attitudes are also shared by educators in the public education system from grade school through high school, and even by members of public school boards who take an elitist attitude toward parents of the children being indoctrinated with those same beliefs (particularly the promotion of sexual immorality and the encouragement of experimenting with homosexuality) by liberal educators.<ref>[http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen3/16d/omaha-schools-sex-ed/world-herald-article-021217.html "Comprehensive sex-ed" battle in Omaha gets huge coverage in state's largest newspaper] at MassResistance</ref><ref>[http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen3/17a/CO-middle-school-x-rated/ebsco-database.html How schools & libraries bring pornography to vulnerable children] at MassResistance</ref><ref>[http://americansfortruth.com/2016/10/19/pro-lgbtq-bias-at-metea-valley-high-school-in-aurora-illinois-exposed-linda-harvey/ Diversity?

An excellent example of academics going beyond their expertise is the example of the [[cryonics]] movement.

==Free speech==
During the McCarthy era, academia prided itself on resisting attempts to restrict the rights of professors to advocate for Communism or other positions unpopular with the general public. However, in the 21st Century, faculty are not allowed to make statements that could be viewed as potentially making some students uncomfortable. So, minority students hold faculty into account for "microaggressions" or the failure to make "trigger warnings" if course material deals with topics that some students may find offensive. Universities and their staffs are expected to create "safe spaces" where minority students can exchange their preconceived notions about issues without being exposed to contrary viewpoints. These politically correct imperatives take priority over any concern for freedom of speech and/or academic freedom.

* Campuses create “safe spaces” where students can shelter from discombobulating thoughts and receive spiritual balm for the trauma of microaggressions. [http://nypost.com/2016/11/20/college-kids-are-proving-trumps-point/]

For example, at the [[University of Virginia]], Douglas Muir, an executive lecturer in the Engineering School and the Darden Business School, had used his personal Facebook account to respond to a post about a lecture given by a co-founder of the [[Black lives matter]] movement. He wrote, "Black lives matter is the biggest racist group since the clan. Are you kidding me. Disgusting!!!"<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2016/10/lecturer-who-compared-black-lives-matter-with-kkk-has-agreed-to-take-leave|title=Lecturer who compared Black Lives Matter with KKK "has agreed to take leave": Douglas Muir to issue separate statement to community

After the leave of absence was announced, the local NAACP still asked that Muir be fired.

At [[Cornell University]], historically white fraternities (which are not allowed to discriminate based on race or religion) are suspended for even minor violations involving underage drinking. However, when Omega Psi Phi, a historically black fraternity, held a party that ended in a fatal knife fight, no disciplinary action was taken against the fraternity or individuals. Also at Cornell, which has never been racially segregated and was not built with slave labor, black student activists have demanded that the "Cornell Plantations" garden that has held that name since its founding more than a century ago, be renamed because the word "Plantations" evokes associations with pre-Civil War slavery.

In contrast, at the start of the fall 2016 semester, the [[University of Chicago]] sent a letter to incoming students denouncing political correctness and "trigger warnings." The letter stated, "You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion, and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://time.com/4466021/uchicago-trigger-warnings/|title=University of Chicago: 'We Do Not Support So-Called Trigger Warnings'|work=Time Magazine|date= Aug. 25, 2016|accessdate=October 10, 2016}}</ref> The American Association of University Professors issued a policy statement against trigger warnings in August 2014. It states in part:
{{cquote|Some discomfort is inevitable in classrooms if the goal is to expose students to new ideas, have them question beliefs they have taken for granted, grapple with ethical problems they have never considered, and, more generally, expand their horizons so as to become informed and responsible democratic citizens. Trigger warnings suggest that classrooms should offer protection and comfort rather than an intellectually challenging education. They reduce students to vulnerable victims rather than full participants in the intellectual process of education. The effect is to stifle thought on the part of both teachers and students who fear to raise questions that might make others “uncomfortable.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aaup.org/report/trigger-warnings|accessdate=Oct 10, 2016|title=On Trigger Warnings}}

At [[Evergreen State College]], in 2017 a group sought to dramatize the important role that minorities played on campus by having all white students and staff absent themselves from campus for a day, and then have a day discussing racial unity the next day. One white biology professor objected to being forced off campus, which drew threats of violence. When the campus police said that they could not guarantee his safety, he held his class (for both white and minority students) in an off-campus park. Subsequently, minority students continued to demonstrate to demand his resignation or dismissal. He is still on the faculty but is considering a lawsuit.

To the Editor: 
''Spectator'', now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory manner. In Margaret Hunt Gram's report on the faculty teach-in against the war in Iraq (March 27, 2003), I am quoted as wishing for a million Mogadishus but with no indication whatsoever of the perspective that framed that remark. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that your Staff Editorial in the same issue, denouncing the teach-in for "dogmatism," situates me in particular as the premier example of an academic "launching tirades against anything and everything American." 
¶In my brief presentation, I outlined a long history of U.S. invasions, wars of conquest, military occupations, and colonization in order to establish that imperialism and white supremacy have been constitutive of U.S. nation-state formation and U.S. nationalism. In that context, I stressed the necessity of repudiating all forms of U.S. patriotism. I also emphasized that the disproportionate majority of U.S. troops come from racially subordinated and working-class backgrounds and are in the military largely as a consequence of a treacherous lack of prospects for a decent life. Nonetheless, I emphasized that U.S. troops are indeed confronted with a choice--to perpetrate this war against the Iraqi people or to refuse to fight and contribute toward the defeat of the U.S. war machine. 
¶I also affirmed that Iraqi liberation can only be effected by the Iraqi people themselves, both by resisting and defeating the U.S. invasion as well as overthrowing a regime whose brutality was long sustained by none other than the U.S. Such an anti-colonial struggle for self-determination might involve a million Mogadishus now but would ultimately have to become something more like another Vietnam. Vietnam was a stunning defeat for U.S. imperialism; as such, it was also a victory for the cause of human self-determination. 
¶Is this a tirade against "anything and everything American"? Far from it. First, I hasten to remind you that "American" refers to all of the Americas, not merely to the United States, as U.S. imperial [[chauvinism]] would have it. More importantly, my rejection of U.S. nationalism is an appeal to liberate our own political imaginations such that we might usher in a radically different world in which we will not remain the prisoners of U.S. global domination.

==Intolerance==
Intolerance is a common trait among the almost exclusively [[liberal]] professors in modern American colleges, who cannot seem to accept that alternative viewpoints to their own even exist, let alone are held by their more intelligent students. Examples include:
*Censorship of any mention of creation science in any biology class
*A recent professor quit his role as adviser to a conservative group at [[Texas A and M University|Texas A&M University]], opposing their justified opposition to the tactics of terrorist [[William Ayers]]<ref>Associated Press (November 24, 2008).

*Refusing to acknowledge that gun control always increases crime
*Intolerance of any questioning of their beliefs, even (especially) while forcing them upon their students
*Intolerance of academic accountability, believing that being granted tenure ensures they can do whatever they want for the rest of their careers, and that they have a right to keep their jobs no matter what.
*Opposition to drug testing, even though parents have a right to know if their children are being taught by criminals and addicts.

==Are professor values a crime against humanity?==
*[[Time magazine|''Time'']] magazine's Atomic deacon [[William G. Pollard]] has pointed out how professors victimize students, robbing them from experiencing the supernatural and transcendent world (i.e., [[God]]):

<blockquote>
"Throughout the whole wide range and diversity of human experience, with the sole exception of the West in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the world of nature has been alive with, and immersed within, a supernatural world which everywhere made contact with it, although was transcendent to it. It is this whole dimension of reality which the scientific age has lost the capacity to experience or know. An age such as ours which has lost a genuine capacity for knowing and responding to some great segment of reality is actually, without knowing it, in a dark age.... We really have lost a genuine capacity which the rest of mankind has possessed and actively exercised, and we have become a people trapped and in bondage within the prison of space, time, and matter....'''It is primarily the business of the university...to maintain the imprisonment of our time. It saddens me to see a new generation being victimized by this all pervasive spirit of the epoch."'''<ref>Sloan, Douglas (1994).

'''Coronavirus''' is a family of several viruses. SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease [[Covid-19]], is a particular potentially deadly strain that, according to U.S. intelligence experts, first came from a laboratory in the city of [[Wuhan, China]] in late November and early December 2019.<ref>[https://archive.is/3HaTu#selection-285.0-481.12 Lab Leak Most Likely Caused Pandemic, Energy Dept. Says, as Spy Agencies Remain Split], Julian E. Barnes, ''New York Times'', Feb. 26, 2023.</ref> [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]] of the [[National Institutes of Health]] transferred research on developing the anthropomorphic [[virus]] to [[China]] following the [[Obama administration]]s ban on [[gain-of-function]] research in the [[United States]], and later attempted to [[cover-up]] the [[fact]]s about [[U.S.]] [[taxpayer]] funding of the dangerous research after it escaped from a lab.

The Chinese Communist government made no public warnings about a potential widespread pandemic until January 23, 2020, made no advance preparations to deal with a major health crisis, and arrested doctors who posted on [[social media]] warning of a large-scale outbreak. While the [[Leftist]] regime closed all domestic flights from Wuhan within China, it allowed thousands of international flights to depart, seeding the virus globally.<ref>https://www.hoover.org/research/china-deliberately-spread-coronavirus-what-are-strategic-consequences</ref>

Multiple indicators were that Covid-19 is man-made: it has no plausible origin in nature, and it is more resistant to heat than most viruses such that warm water generally does not kill it. Yet [[Dr. Fauci]] and subordinate [[collaborator]]s made coordinated efforts to convince the public it was not man-made. Covid-19 is more contagious than natural viruses.

One week after the first reported outbreaks in China, scientists at the National Institute of Health in the United States informed the chief medical advisor to the [[president]], [[Dr. Anthony Fauci]],<ref>https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director</ref> that the SARS-CoV-2 [[genome]] sequence was "inconsistent with evolutionary theory."<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.202100015</ref> This meant that it was likely man-made.<ref>https://usrtk.org/biohazards/origin-of-sars-cov-2-gain-of-function-readings/</ref> Three years earlier, on January 9, 2017, the [[Obama]] White House restored funding for [[gain-of-function]] research at the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] for research on the bat coronavirus.<ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2017/01/09/recommended-policy-guidance-potential-pandemic-pathogen-care-and-oversight</ref><ref>https://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/documents/p3co-finalguidancestatement.pdf</ref> Gain-of-function is to modify an animal virus so as to make it transmissible to humans.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/06/05/trump-wanted-to-publicly-grill-fauci-on-wuhan-lab-funding/</ref> The funds were administered by Dr. Anthony Fauci,<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/stacey-lennox/2021/05/13/dr-fauci-saying-the-nih-never-funded-gain-of-function-research-at-the-wuhan-lab-is-evasive-at-best-n1446170</ref> Fauci extended the funds,<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/02/17/infamous-wuhan-lab-authorized-to-receive-us-taxpayer-funding-nih-confirms/</ref> but did not obtain approval from a mandatory [[Department of Health and Human Services]] review board as required.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-institute-of-virology-research-grant/</ref>

==General information==
[[File:Vaers-vaccine-injury-october-1.jpg|right|400px|thumb|As of September 2021, the COVID death rate (1.94%) was below the Vaccine mortality (2.12%), per the CDC.]]
It has also been known as the '''Wuhan coronavirus''' as [[CNN]] referred to it,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZtCq1aj2g</ref> or the '''[[CCP]] Virus''' by the ''[[The Epoch Times]]'' and ''[[The Washington Post]]''.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/dont-blame-china-for-the-coronavirus--blame-the-chinese-communist-party/2020/03/19/343153ac-6a12-11ea-abef-020f086a3fab_story.html</ref>

A '''coronavirus''' is any of several viruses affecting either animals or humans, and named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the viral cell. Coronaviruses affect the upper respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from mild to severe, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Several strains, such as MERS, [[SARS-CoV-1]], and SARS-CoV-2 (which causes the disease COVID-19, and was identified in a late-2019 outbreak in Wuhan, China), have been confirmed to be fatal.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus did not come from nature.<ref>https://www.heraldopenaccess.us/openaccess/coronavirus-is-a-biological-warfare-weapon</ref>
Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC), told [[CNN]] that he believes the virus originated in the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/26/coronavirus-robert-redfield-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref>

===VAERS reporting system===
According to the [[CDC]]'s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System ([[VAERS]]) database, of the U.S. vaccine deaths reported between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 24, 2021, 11% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 16% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, and 29% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vaers-cdc-deaths-injuries-covid-vaccines/</ref> The mortality rate from receiving the covid vaccine is 2.12%, and the risk of permanent disability is 2.97%. 11.33% needed Emergency Room visits and 9.41% required hospitalization.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/vaers-vaccine-injury-october-1-980x1024.jpg</ref>

On July 9, 2021, the number of deaths reported to the VAERS website associated with the COVID vaccines was 10,991. Earlier the same week, deaths reported hit 12,313 according to the CDC website. Within hours, that number was adjusted to 6,207.<ref> https://www.thewellnessway.com/cdc-deletes-6000-deaths-from-vaers/</ref>

On October 10th, 2022, the total number of reported vaccine-related deaths had surpassed 31,000, and the number of [[Anaphylaxis|anaphylactic]] reactions had reached 10,000. The number of reported miscarriages was over 5,000.<ref>http://archive.today/2022.10.11-005609/https://openvaers.com/covid-data</ref>

==Description==

Coronaviruses are positive RNA viruses with a diameter of approximately 80-160 nm. The name itself derives from the visual image of individual virus cells as seen by an electron microscope; these cells have a spiky appearance similar to the corona of the sun. This aspect is represented by the glycoprotein that crosses the viral envelope, reaching the protein "coat", called protein S, with hemagglutination and melting properties. The virus structure is more or less typical of coated viruses, therefore it has a helicoidal symmetry nucleocapsid and a pericapsid consisting of a double phospholipid layer of cellular origin; between these two layers, there is a protein coat consisting of the M protein (matrix or matrix). In the nucleocapsid is found the genome consisting of an ssRNA + (a single RNA strand with positive polarity) of 27-30 kilobases which codes for 7 viral proteins and is associated with the protein N.

Coronaviruses attach to the cell membrane of the target cells thanks to their S proteins that interact with the aminopeptidase N of the membrane; some coronaviruses can bind neuraminic N-acetyl acid thanks to the expression of E3 glycoprotein. It is not clear whether cell penetration is performed by fusion of the pericapsid with the plasma membrane or by endocytosis. Inside the cytoplasm of the cell, the coronavirus releases its positive single-stranded RNA which attaches itself to the ribosomes where it is translated. The translation involves the production of an RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (L protein) which transcribes a single negative-stranded RNA from which it is then possible to obtain new positive-stranded RNAs of the coronavirus as well as the seven proteins that it encodes. Protein N is associated with each new positive RNA strand while pericapsid proteins are integrated into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. A translocator transfers the new nucleocapsids into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, subsequently from these gemstone vesicles which constitute the new virions that can be released by exocytosis.

Coronaviruses are believed to cause a significant percentage of all common colds in adults and children. The most common symptoms are fever and acute adenoiditis with higher incidence during the winter and early spring. In many cases coronaviruses can cause pneumonia, direct viral pneumonia, or secondary bacterial pneumonia; they can also lead to the development of bronchitis, direct viral bronchitis, or secondary bacterial bronchitis. The human coronavirus discovered in 2003, SARS-CoV, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), has unique pathogenesis because it causes upper and lower respiratory tract infections.

As of January 2020, the following seven coronavirus strains are known to infect humans:
*Human Coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E)
*Human Coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43)
*Human Coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63)
*Human Coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1)
*Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV)
*Middle Eastern Coronavirus Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), also known as Novel Coronavirus 2012 (2012-nCoV) and Human Coronavirus Erasmus Medical Center / 2012 HCoV-EMC / 2012
*Coronavirus 2019-nCoV (2019-nCoV), also known as Wuhan or Novel Coronavirus 2019


The airborne virus can survive on infected surfaces, such as a doorknob or cash, for several hours and even up to 5 days.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinese-officials-warns-of-aerosol-infection-as-coronavirus-spreads_3231971.html</ref>

== Origin of Covid-19 virus ==

Chinese student researchers indicated the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November 2019 from a place other than the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. A study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location, and then spread rapidly from market to market.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180429.shtml</ref> The Chinese Communist Party deleted the page

[[File:Coronavirus1.jpg|right|301px|thumb|Electron microscope scan of a coronavirus, so-called due to the crown-like filaments on the surface.]]
===''The Lancet'' disputes CCP wet market claims===

CCP propaganda outfits announced the virus may have originated at a government laboratory only 280 meters away from the Huanan seafood market. Disease-ridden animals, including more than 600 horseshoe bats, were kept at the facility. A China Science Communication video uploaded to YouTube on Dec. 10, 2019, the day of the death of the first known victim, showed China CDC scientists collecting viruses from bat caves and stated, "Nearly 2,000 types of viruses have been discovered by Chinese CDC authorities in the last twelve years. Only 2,284 types of viruses had been discovered worldwide over the last 200 years prior to China's discovery. China has taken the lead in the world in the field of Basic research of virus."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovnUyTRMERI/</ref> The Youtube account bears a disclaimer: "SMG is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government. Wikipedia". SMG is a CCP entity. The high-dollar production video purports to show a bat cave in Hubei Province, which is subtitled in English, followed by images of the coronavirus. There were no horseshoe bats, the source of the 2019-nCoV virus, which are native to Hubei province; rather, the 600 horseshoe bats were in Yunnan province, 900 kilometers away. Furthermore, bat-eating is more of a coastal phenomenon and was not a common practice in Hubei province. Again, both the date of its upload and timing of the attention called to it in [[Western]] media bear the hallmarks of CCP's propaganda offensive to portray the CCP as a global "humanitarian leader".

A Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong, ''Ming Pao'', and the British daily, ''The Mirror'' explained that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control, or WHCDC, could have spawned the contagion in Hubei Province. It stated that it's plausible the virus was leaked from the lab and contaminated initial patients in this epidemic. Sen. [[Tom Cotton]], citing ''The Lancet'', tweeted:
{{quotebox|China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/tom-cotton-implies-coronavirus-originated-in-wuhan-super-laboratory</ref>}}
This suggests that there was an earlier source of the virus that is unrelated to the seafood market and that has not yet been traced. If this theory is correct, the infection originated no later than November and infected the seafood market in December. The case histories and the pattern of infection were known to Chinese researchers from the beginning, so earlier reports fingering the market may have been intentionally misleading.<ref name="sciencemag.org">Cohen, Jon, "[https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally]," ''Science'', Jan. 26, 2020.</ref> ''[[The Washington Post]]'', which routinely publishes Chinese Communist [[propaganda]] and sought to cover for the Communist regime, blasted Sen. Cotton over his comments.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/washington-post-uses-chinese-propaganda-in-attempt-to-blast-sen-tom-cotton-over-coronavirus-comments/</ref>

===Fauci collusion with WIV===
[[File:Govt Advisors SHRED Documents Detailing Fauci Obama-Era Work With Wuhan Lab.PNG|right|300px|thumb|In February 2022 it was reported that government advisors shredded documents detailing the Obama administration's work with the Wuhan Lab.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/16/nih-refuses-to-comply-with-congressional-doc-request/</ref>]]
Dr. [[Anthony Fauci]] knew by mid-February 2020 that COVID-19 was Chinese-manufactured in a Chinese [[PLA]] laboratory and, as the nation's top health advisor, misled the president of the United States and the American people.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/fauci-lied-and-people-died/</ref>

The evidence came out that Dr. Fauci had funded [[gain-of-function]] research on coronavirus at the [[WIV|Wuhan lab]], which was also done illegally via the NIH and EcoHealth Alliance<ref>https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/</ref> due to [[Barack Obama]] having banned such research in the United States, which made him directly responsible for the coronavirus outbreak, with Rand Paul calling him out on it.<ref>https://nationalfile.com/watch-rand-paul-confronts-fauci-for-funding-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/</ref> In addition, leaked audio around 2017 had him telling President Trump with certainty that he'll be facing a pandemic.<ref>https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20170111/fauci-no-doubt-trump-will-face-surprise-infectious-disease-outbreak</ref>
[[File:Letter-to-fauci-.png|left|300px|thumb|February 12, 2020: Fauci forwarded an email warning the coronavirus came from a laboratory.<ref>https://100percentfedup.com/fauci-forwards-email-warning-virus-was-released-from-wuhan-lab-to-nih-deputy-dir-with-two-word-response-please-handle/</ref>]]
Fauci told [[Jake Tapper]] of CNN in February 2020 that fifteen to twenty percent of those who contracted the [[CCP virus]] would require hospitalization. In March 2020, he said: “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” [[Kim Kardashian]] invited Fauci to address a private Zoom call of thirty-seven [[Hollywood values|Hollywood celebrity]] friends so they could ask him about quarantine measures.<ref>https://thelampmagazine.com/2021/04/30/doctor-who/</ref> Fauci had a Google Alert set up to send news articles about himself directly to his government email address. Any news article that mentioned the words “Anthony Fauci” or “Tony Fauci” was delivered straight to Fauci’s inbox.<ref>https://dossier.substack.com/p/megalomaniac-fauci-has-every-article</ref> Fauci told President Trump that millions of Americans would die if the U.S. did not implement draconian [[lockdown]]s.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/03/15/sotu-fauci-millions.cnn</ref>

A January 9, 2020, email exchange labeled “high” importance between NIAID Senior Scientific Advisor Dr. David Morens and Daszak details the relationship between the Fauci agency and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-141-149/</ref>

On January 23, 2020, the day the Wuhan viral outbreak was announced to the world, a senior NIH official, Melinda Hoskins, forwarded a Daily Mail article to colleagues discussing NIH/NIAID funding of the bat virus research, and noting that Fauci would be briefing senators the following morning. Hoskins says, “Would you please confirm the exact nature of our support to the Wuhan Institute of Virology/Biosafety Lab.” <ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JW-v-HHS-NIAID-Wuhan-June-2021-00692-pgs-47-48.pdf</ref>

From 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which was headed by Fauci.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-74-75/</ref> In an April 15, 2020 email marked “high” importance, Principal Deputy Director of NIH Lawrence Tabak emailed Fauci, NIH Director Francis Collins, and other NIH officials with the subject line: “HEADS UP: Wuhan lab research.” Tabak provides details of the grant to Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, for a project titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” Tabak continues, saying, “The 3.7M dollar figure is over 6 years to all sites which include (several in) China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. We estimate that approximately $826,300 has been spent at this site since the inception of the grant. Yearly costs appear to be about 80K/year. The grant is in year 6 of a total of 10 year.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-3-4/</ref>

On October 1, 2017, after receiving Daszak’s email related to his then-unpublished paper describing detailed research into a novel bat-born virus tied to Swine Acute Diarrheal Syndrome, Fauci forwards Daszak’s email and paper on to NIH official Greg Folkers, saying, “Confidential, but fyi for you.” Daszak says, “You should know that this work was supported by a NIAID ROl that [NIH’s] Erik Stemmy is the Program Officer for, and that I’m PI [principal investigator] on, with [[Zhengli Shi]] [the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of the Wuhan Institute of Virology] as co-PI.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-193-282</ref>

Fauci repeatedly criticized the inexpensive hydroxychloroquine as a treatment or prophylaxis for [[COVID-19]], despite numerous studies indicating its possible effectiveness. Instead, Fauci promoted expensive alternatives lacking in any proven significant benefits.

In the spring of 2020 Fauci dismissed evidence that the coronavirus came from the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] laboratory, only to reverse himself after the defection of a high-level State Security minister from the [[Peoples Republic of China]] with damning evidence.<ref>https://archive.is/JsDBE#selection-271.0-275.37</ref> The denial of factual evidence by alleged scientific experts has been cited as a contributing factor to the [[2020 presidential election]] outcome.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/557783-lindsey-graham-dismissal-of-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-cost-trump-2020-election</ref>

===Dr. Li issues public warning===
[[Dr. Li Wenliang]] was an ophthalmologist in [[Wuhan, China]] who became a [[whistleblower]] and victim of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP). Efforts by Dr. Li to alert the Chinese people to the danger of the [[CCP coronavirus]] in late December 2019, and his subsequent death 5 weeks later did not go unpunished. Dr. Li has been elevated to the status of saint and folk hero among the Chinese people.

On December 30, 2019, Dr. Li posted the lab test result of a coronavirus patient in a group chat to a class of about 150 students writing:
{{Quotebox|“7 cases of SARS have been confirmed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market and they were isolated in the emergency department of our hospital. Please tell your families to take preventative measures.”}}
Some doctors confirmed that healthcare workers were starting to become infected around this time, a significant sign that the virus could spread between humans. Health officials in Wuhan were alerted. Instead of ramping up safety measures and alerting the public, on the same day they issued a notice forbidding all medical institutes or individuals from disclosing any information regarding the new disease. At midnight, Dr. Li was summoned by the CCP Security Police. They questioned him about why he was spreading rumors online.

On December 31, Wuhan's health commission posted an announcement about the outbreak on their website. They confirmed 27 cases of the infection and said there was no evidence that the disease was contagious among humans. According to a research paper written by Chinese officials, which was published later, the number of virus cases had reached at least 105 by the end of 2019. At that point, 15 people had already died. A media report also showed that one major hospital in Wuhan, Xiehe Hospital, was forced to transform an entire floor of the facility into “quarantine space for contagious disease.” [[Taiwan]] officials notified the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) that the virus was being spread from human-to-human.<ref name="dailycaller.com">https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/20/who-taiwan-coronavirus-warning/</ref> Communist party officials in China and military personnel began taking preventative measures, however the public was never alerted.

====8 doctors arrested for issuing public warnings====
On January 3, 2020, Dr. Li was asked to sign a confession to charges of committing [[crime]]s against the [[leftist]] regime, spreading “illegal and false” information and that he had “severely disrupted social order.” 7 other doctors also were charged. The confession read:
{{quotebox|"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market. Now raise warnings and admonitions according to law on the illegal issue of untrue statements on the [[Internet]]. Your behavior severely disrupts social order. Your behavior has exceeded the scope permitted by [[law]], and it violates the relevant provisions of the Law of the [[People's Republic of China]] on Public Security Management Penalties, which is an [[illegal]] act! The public security organ hopes that you will actively cooperate with your work, follow the advice of the [[police]], and stop the illegal behavior. can you do it? Answer: Yes We hope that you calm down and reflect carefully, and solemnly warn you: if you are stubborn, do not think about [[repentance]], and continue to carry out illegal activities, you will be punished by the law! do you understand?

====CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission begins cover up ====
On December 31, 2019, the CCP controlled Wuhan Municipal Health Commission declared, “The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.” This is the opposite of the belief of the doctors working on patients in Wuhan, and two doctors were already suspected of contracting the virus.<ref name="mp.weixin.qq.com">https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/IzzCnz4Yr2jEIYZePiu_ow</ref><ref>[[User:RobSmith/Text of article censored by Google translate]]</ref>

The CCP employed standard [[technocrat]]ic and [[bureaucrat]]ic rhetoric to qualm public fears:
{{quotebox|Twenty-seven cases have been found , of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.

Wuhan organized the consultation of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and virology experts in Tongji Hospital, Provincial Center for Disease Control, [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]], Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Infectious Disease Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and other units, and the experts returned from the disease and treatment, Epidemiological investigation, preliminary laboratory tests and other aspects of the situation analysis that the above cases are viral pneumonia. The investigation so far has not found any obvious human-to-human transmission and no medical staff infection.}}
Tao Lina, a public-health expert and former official with Shanghai's center for disease control and prevention, tells the South China Morning Post, “I think we are [now] quite capable of killing it in the beginning phase, given China’s disease control system, emergency handling capacity and clinical medicine support.”<ref name="scmp.com">https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mystery-illness-hits-chinas-wuhan-city-nearly-30-hospitalised</ref>

====WHO collusion with CCP====
[[File:WHO-CCP Wuhan virus.PNG|right|300px|thumb|The WHO tweeted misinformation from the Chinese Communist Party that the world had nothing to fear from the coronavirus outbreak.]]
Li was ordered to return to work where he contracted the virus. On January 6, 2020, the center for disease control in [[Shanghai]] acquired the complete gene sequencing of the new virus. They found over 89 percent similarity between the new virus and the deadly SARS virus that caused a pandemic in 2003. The information was sent to China's national CDC in an internal document. From January 6 to January 17, CCP officials reported zero new cases. In the 11 day period the communist authorities in Wuhan City and Hubei Province held their most important annual political meetings. Over 2,000 “representatives of the people” gathered to discuss the “amazing achievements of 2019” and how 2020 will be “a tremendous and promising year.” There was little mention of the coronavirus. On January 14 the [[World Health Organization]] [[tweet]]ed,
{{Quotebox-float|"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan #China<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/18/flashback-who-china-coronavirus-contagious/</ref>}}
The same day a group of [[Hong Kong]] journalists accompanied Hong Kong experts who were invited to conduct research on the virus outbreak. The reporters were later detained by Chinese Security Police, who photographed their reporter IDs and asked them to delete all footage taken inside hospitals.

At this same time a post on the Chinese [[social media]] site Weibo, a person's dad was confirmed to have viral pneumonia. But the Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan refused to admit the father due to a shortage of hospital beds. Another netizen posted that his entire family was infected. They went to the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and saw that “there were so many patients that some had to lie on the floor of the corridor.” His father was also sent home to self-quarantine because there weren't enough hospital beds. The post was later deleted. So were all other posts in the user's account.<ref name="ntd.com">https://www.ntd.com/a-timeline-of-events-leading-up-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china_442592.html</ref> That was the week Wuhan authorities didn't report a single confirmed or suspected case.

From January 12 to 16, an estimated 3 million passengers left Wuhan by train over the Chinese New Year holiday, to visit family and friends in other cities in China. On January 17, 2020, Wuhan's tourism bureau issued over 200,000 free tourism tickets. It was an effort to entice people to visit the city so they could experience the “Chinese style and warm sentiments of Wuhan.” On January 18, Baibuting, a populous district in Wuhan, held an annual banquet to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday. Three days before, staff from the neighborhood committee who were concerned about the outbreak asked if they could cancel the banquet, but communist officials denied the request. Over 40,000 families attended the banquet. Local communist apparatchiks ordered labs to stop testing for the virus and destroy the existing samples.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q&feature=youtu.be</ref>

World Health Organization (WHO) boss [[Tadros Adhanom]] was a leader in [[Ethiopia]]'s Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling [[Marxist]] Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. Adhanom served the repressive regime as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016 after a stint as Health Minister. As a candidate for the top post, ''The New York Times'' accused Tad Adhanom of covering up at least three [[epidemic]]s.<ref>http://archive.is/9B2Zy</ref>

The Communist regime did not allow the WHO into China until February 10, 2020 - more than two months after the first cases were observed.
<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-update-intl-hnk/index.html</ref>

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" at which the virus goes from dangerous to deadly in extremely susceptible patients. A WHO report written 18 days later based on observation in China stated that 80% of infections ("mild cases") can self-isolate, 13% require hospitalization, and 6% require intensive care. While many patients experience nothing more than a mild cold, one in seven patients develops difficulty breathing and other "severe" complications, while 6% become critically ill and require hospitalization to stabilize their condition, risking death if they can't receive the highest level of care.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/scientists-warn-about-dangerous-tipping-point-where-covid-19-goes-mild-deadly</ref> Some questions remain regarding whether the developed world has enough hospital beds available to treat cases requiring hospitalization. WHO said the coronavirus ''infection rate'' (as opposed to death rate) was thought to be the same as the flu when the virus was only known in China but has since been found to be ''two to three times that infectious''.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-raises-death-rate-and-risk-of-coronavirus-one-expert-declares-wwii/</ref>

Tad Adhamon criticized travel bans to and from China saying, "There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade." The WHO was not allowed into China until February 10, 2020, more than two months after the virus was first discovered. Adhanom praised the CCP's response: "We appreciate the seriousness with which China is taking this outbreak, especially the commitment from top leadership and the transparency they have demonstrated," and "China is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response." Film clips of Adhanom are shown on Chinese television saying, "China took action massively at the epicenter at the source of the outbreak. This is heroic. The actions of China is making us safer."

Peter Humphrey, a British investigator who was jailed in China in 2013 had been drugged, chained to a chair, locked in a cage and made to read out a statement written by the police in front of cameras. The anchor who presented the footage, James Chao, is now a goodwill ambassador with the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is horribly corrupt. An audit revealed there has been a surge in internal corruption allegations across the whole of the
organization with the detection of multiple schemes aimed at defrauding large sums of money from the international body, overwhelming an internal team of full-time investigators. An ''[[Associated Press]]'' expose in 2017 found that nearly half of the WHO two billion dollar budget went to first-class airfare and five-star hotels. The United States is the largest contributor US taxpayers fund about a quarter of the WHO budget. The WHO is working with [[Google]] to ensure that people get information from the [[UN]] health agency first when they search for information about the virus.

====Dr. Li's exoneration and death====
On January 20 [[President Xi]] finally acknowledged the crisis.<ref>https://thecritic.co.uk/the-coronavirus-cover-up/</ref> On January 23 the entire city of Wuhan, 11 million people, was put on lockdown. By the end of the month 50 million Chinese were on lockdown. On January 28, the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China issued a statement that Dr. Li and the other "rumor makers" had been "rectified", but it was too late.

On the evening of February 6, Dr. Li died. The news quickly aroused strong attention and condemnation. However, Wuhan Central Hospital later issued a microblog saying that Li Wenliang was in critical condition and doctors were working to save his life. A number of insiders and doctors disclosed on social media that in the process, the authorities faced public indignation and ordered a series of attempts at resuscitation, but to no avail. A few hours later, the news of Li Wenliang's death again was released and detonated on WeChat and Weibo. By 6 a.m. local time, the keywords " Dr. Li Wenliang's death " and "Li Wenliang's death" ranked high on the Weibo topic list, with a total of 670 million views and 737,000 discussions.<ref>https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2020/02/07/a102771379.html</ref> Before the end of the day news of Dr. Li's death had over 1.5 billion views on Weibo.<ref>https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-chinese-public-mourns-rages-over-death-of-doctor-who-raised-early-alarm</ref> An announcement on NTD of Dr. Li's death read:
{{quotebox| [NTD Beijing, February 07, 2020] Dr. Wenliang Li , who first announced Wuhan pneumonia, died at the age of 34 on the evening of the 6th due to improper treatment of a new coronavirus infection. His death ignited a new wave of angry tsunami among the public over the CCP's concealment. After Li Wenliang's death was exposed on the [[Internet]], the authorities, under pressure from public opinion, pretended to rescue the whole person, and performed 3 hours of chest compressions and electric shocks on the dead Li Wenliang, causing his ribs to be completely broken and beyond recognition . 

On February 7th, an independent economist, "Financial Cold Eye" (@charles984681), tweeted that the hospital director was afraid that Li Wenliang's death would lead to public outrage. After 3 hours of death, he was continuously subjected to CPR, which is the shock of cardiac resuscitation. It usually takes only a few minutes. After three hours, Li Wenliang's ribs were completely broken and beyond recognition . Tweeted that
*"Dr. Li was wronged alive, and he was abused after his death! With the worst of malice, I can't imagine how despicable this devil behavior is."

In this regard, many netizens have commented: 
*"Too evil!"
*"Under the autocratic system, the people of Li Min are nothing but the servants of the nobles."
*"It is most likely a premeditated murder. This person has become a serious trouble for the nobles!"

In addition, many network screenshots showed that Li Wenliang's treatment was extremely inadequate and timely, and the hospital director was under pressure. Li Wenliang was the worst one among the eight. Li Wenliang's lung film, all white! I never thought about letting him live! This man will be regarded as a hero in the United States! He was killed directly in the CCP! His wife ’s unborn child was also hit!

It is reported that Li Wenliang stopped his heartbeat at 9:30 and was intubated 20 minutes later. Finally, he went to ECMO (artificial lung) for a symbolic rescue to calm the anger of hundreds of millions of netizens. CCP officials have been rebuked as "political rescue.".....

There was a regret on the Internet that "the hero is gone", and lamented, angered, and rebuked the CCP "this regime has committed [[crimes against humanity]]!"

*"Burning !!! Doctor Li Wenliang died at the age of 34, leaving his wife and unborn child. Wuhan government, Hubei government, don't you give an explanation? Without heart, as human beings, the TAs are just humans! See At the time of this news, do you have any trace of guilt and regret for those "killers" who indirectly kill people? "

*"This time, the doctor who first warned the Chinese and the world and informed you of the epidemic was sacrificed today. He is Li Wenliang. After the epidemic was announced, he and several other doctors were arrested by the public security ... With the incident exposed, the Chinese government must Do n’t apologize. The official said it was because of the infection, and we have reason to suspect how he died? "

Password of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China

It is said that the magnitude of the rebound [public reaction] has unexpectedly surprised the CCP, and the CCP propaganda department has issued a password.

Independent economist Qin Peng tweeted that the official propaganda requirements of the CCP came out as soon as possible.

*"Regarding the death of Dr. Li Wenliang of Wuhan Central Hospital, we must strictly standardize the source [control the narrative] of the manuscript. We are strictly forbidden to use media reports to report without permission. We must not pop-up the window, do not comment or speculate. Search and strictly control harmful information. "

Qin Peng said that if it were not for the life-threatening plague, how many Chinese people could not imagine the evil of the Chinese Communist Party!<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f0pmw8/rumored_dr_li_wenliangs_ribs_were_completely/</ref> }}

===Illegal bioweapon research in Wuhan===
One theory that has recently been postulated is that the coronavirus may be linked to Chinese bio-weapons research.<ref>https://ktrh.iheart.com/content/2020-01-24-virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-to-chinese-bio-warfare-program/?pname=local_social&keyid=KTRH&sc=editorial</ref> The city of Wuhan, where the virus originated, has the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where "''...it was reported to have studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, the H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue''".<ref>http://www.tibetanreview.net/did-the-wuhan-virus-escape-from-chinas-bio-weapons-lab/</ref> A second facility nearby, Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, is also listed one of eight research facilities under the 1985 Biological Weapons Convention, of which China is a signatory.

Dr Francis Boyle is an eminent professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law in the U.S. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, Dr Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act, gave a detailed statement on how the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knew about it.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/dr-francis-boyle-creator-of-bioweapons-act-says-coronavirus-is-biological-warfare-weapon/</ref>

The [[State Department]] issued a report in 2019 stating "''Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC."''<ref>https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Compliance-Report-2019-August-19-Unclassified-Final.pdf</ref> For its part, China has stated that it does not engage in bio-weapons engineering,<ref>https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/china/biological/</ref> despite discussion of bio and genetic weapons being discussed at the highest levels of the Chinese military,<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/chinas-military-biotech-frontier-crispr-military-civil-fusion-and-the-new-revolution-in-military-affairs/</ref> as well as a "white paper" drafted in 2001 which stressed ''"...in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the BWC, a necessary verification mechanism should be established"''.<ref>https://media.nti.org/pdfs/5a_1.pdf</ref>

[[India]]n researchers have found [[HIV]]-derived inserts in the coronavirus [[genome]] that compound the infectious potential and greatly bolster the argument this virus was developed as a bioterror weapon. A 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment by [[John Brennan]] and the US [[Intelligence Community]] lists China as a major potential “terror actor” and genome editing as a major terror risk.<ref>https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/02/01/coronavirus-the-plot-thickens/</ref>

Many have expressed skepticism of the bio-weapon theory. Dr Malcolm Davis, a defense analyst in Australia, tweeted ''"If evidence came to the fore to support such a theory, then yes - but so far, none has. Its more likely the virus jumped from an animal into humans in the Wuhan markets."''.<ref>https://m.noosanews.com.au/news/mystery-lab-30km-from-virus-ground-zero/3931000/</ref> New organizations - many left-leaning - have also stated that conspiracy theories have been created almost as soon as the news of the pandemic reached the public.<ref>https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/29/coronavirus-china-lab-mortality-virology-wuhan-virus-not-bioweapon/</ref><ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-51271037</ref>

According to ''[[Politico]]'' a [[Pentagon]] spokesman said “In its natural state, the current virus could be used as a bioweapon by less sophisticated groups.

====NIAID funding====
From 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which was headed by [[Anthony Fauci]].<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-74-75/</ref> In an April 15, 2020 email marked “high” importance, Principal Deputy Director of NIH Lawrence Tabak emailed Fauci, NIH Director Francis Collins, and other NIH officials with the subject line: “HEADS UP: Wuhan lab research.” Tabak provides details of the grant to [[Peter Daszak]], president of EcoHealth Alliance, for a project titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” Tabak continues, saying, “The 3.7M dollar figure is over 6 years to all sites which include (several in) China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar. We estimate that approximately $826,300 has been spent at this site since the inception of the grant. Yearly costs appear to be about 80K/year. The grant is in year 6 of a total of 10 year.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-3-4/</ref>

A January 9, 2020, email exchange labeled “high” importance between NIAID Senior Scientific Advisor Dr. David Morens and Daszak details the relationship between the Fauci agency and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-141-149/</ref>

On January 23, 2020, the day the Wuhan viral outbreak was announced to the world, a senior NIH official, Melinda Hoskins, forwarded a Daily Mail article to colleagues discussing NIH/NIAID funding of the bat virus research, and noting that Fauci would be briefing senators the following morning. Hoskins says, “Would you please confirm the exact nature of our support to the Wuhan Institute of Virology/Biosafety Lab.” <ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/JW-v-HHS-NIAID-Wuhan-June-2021-00692-pgs-47-48.pdf</ref>

On October 1, 2017, after receiving Daszak’s email related to his then-unpublished paper describing detailed research into a novel bat-born virus tied to Swine Acute Diarrheal Syndrome, Fauci forwards Daszak’s email and paper on to NIH official Greg Folkers, saying, “Confidential, but fyi for you.” Daszak says, “You should know that this work was supported by a NIAID ROl that [NIH’s] Erik Stemmy is the Program Officer for, and that I’m PI [principal investigator] on, with [[Zhengli Shi]] [the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of the Wuhan Institute of Virology] as co-PI.”<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-niaid-wuhan-june-2021-00692-pgs-193-282</ref>

===Bat stew flu cover story===

On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan virus exploded. The CCP circulated a fake news video of a girl eating bat soup. The video did not originate in the Wuhan or anywhere near Wuhan. The CCP then closed down and destroyed the Wuhan market so outside investigators could not examine the evidence for their claims. The CCP claimed the virus passed from a bat to pangolin, which later was debunked.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHFW8GQRcYE</ref>

While Wuhan announced the lockdown of the city, Dr. [[Shi Zhengli]] of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who had isolated the bat virus, spliced it, and made it transmissible to humans, provided the official Chinese communist cover story that the virus arose in nature. Shi published a paper in the authoritative science journal, ''Nature'' on February 3, 2020, stating that the Wuhan coronavirus was of probable bat origin.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7</ref> The paper indicated that the Wuhan virus utilized the same key as SARS to gain entry into the human body. She also announced the 2019-nCoV genome sequence was 96.2% consistent with a bat coronavirus originating in [[Yunnan]], China, called RaTG13, signaling a natural source of the Wuhan virus.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/02/24/study-china-lied-wuhan-virus-did-not-originate-in-meat-market/</ref>

The ''Washington Post'' picked up the Chinese [[fake news]] [[narrative]] and indicated "The trigger point for the current coronavirus remains unclear, but [[China]] has linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, which despite its name also appeared to be selling live cats and dogs, wild chickens, snakes and marmots."<ref name="washingtonpost.com">[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-outbreak-underscores-potential-health-risks-in-chinas-wild-animal-trade/2020/01/25/5f5353be-3f6f-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html Coronavirus outbreak underscores potential health risks in China’s wild animal trade], ''Washington Post'', 2020</ref> CNN reported concerning China: "Vendors in small city markets often sell wild animals including rodents, yak, snakes and even porcupines, and experts say that makes them far more dangerous.

"Wet market" refers to the blood of animals slain on the spot. The first case can be traced back to November 17, 2019, and the first death on December 9, 2019. Some cases were rumored among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market in early December but hushed up by Chinese authorities.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBxZ1XIYmGc&feature=push-prem-sub&attr_tag=Pi2j7UuDGqgDAixI%3A6</ref> This market is said to have sold processed meats and live animals, including chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, foxes, badgers, bamboo rats, hedgehogs, and snakes.<ref>"[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-chinese-wet-market-photos-2020-1#the-huanan-wholesale-seafood-market-in-wuhan-closed-on-january-1-after-it-was-found-to-be-the-most-likely-starting-point-for-the-outbreak-of-this-coronavirus-called-2019-ncov-1 The outbreaks of both the Wuhan coronavirus and SARS likely started in Chinese wet markets.

CNN kept the ball rolling for Chinese propagandists reporting that previous coronavirus outbreaks include SARS-CoV in 2002-2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012. Both of these strains originated in bats. SARS was transferred to humans through a masked palm civet, presumably in a Chinese wet market. MERS was transferred through a camel in Saudi Arabia. The protein codes in the Wuhan virus are most similar to those found in snakes, so it is possible that the virus jumped to humans from a snake. Snakes often hunt bats for food, but disease rarely transmits from a warm-blooded animal to a cold-blooded animal.<ref>"[https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/22/health/snakes-wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-conversation-partner/index.html Snakes could be the source of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak]," CNN, January 24, 2020.</ref>

===China outbreak, quarantine, fatalities and coverup===

A coronavirus outbreak occurred on December 8, 2019, or earlier in Wuhan, China, apparently first discovered in a food marketplace where wild animals in cages for human consumption were sold (including cats and snakes. See also: [[Cat slaughtering practices in China]]). With [[globalism]] encouraging trade and travel between countries, this coronavirus spread quickly to the United States after the Beijing central government admitted to the outbreak.

Chinese specialists in [[Hong Kong]] predicted a doubling of infections every six days. The infection was initially reported to have a two-week incubation period with the infected person being contagious while showing no symptoms. Epidemiologists warn it has the potential of becoming a global epidemic requiring containment of population movements.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYyH4N8VXvA&feature=push-lbss&attr_tag=ZsS4DRjrARjwNKU-%3A6 Experts share analysis on scale of the coronavirus outbreak], UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG, CHINA - Epidemiology experts Joseph Wu and Gabriel Leung.

The [[pandemic]] originally had been forecast by the Hong Kong experts to peak out in April–May 2020. On January 31, 2020, [[Health and Human Services]] Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency and [[President Trump]] appointed an interagency task force to deal with the problem. The U.S. [[Center for Disease Control]] labeled it a "serious public health threat."

Wuhan was the first major metropolitan area in the world to rollout 5G technology on October 31, 2019, on an experimental basis. The first known cases of coronavirus were on December 8, 2019, in the Wuhan seafood market. While there is no direct connection between 5G and the virus, high levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation has long been known to be harmful for humans and the environment. Despite the industry's sales pitch, 5G technology massively increases exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation greater than the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for [[telecommunication]]s already in place.<ref>https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/02/28/5g-and-the-china-epidemic/</ref> While a definitive answer remains unknown, some theorize 5G technology and high radio frequency radiation may be responsible for weakening people's immune system and the ability to resist the virus.

====Chinese efforts to suppress news of the outbreak====
[[File:Asymptomatic cases.PNG|right|thumb|300px|March 30, 2020. The CCP ordered no new cases to be reported. Drivers were afraid to render aid for fear of reprisal from the CCP police for reporting a coronavirus death.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDYqzx0UR7M&t=932s</ref>]]
Sources within China say 90,000 people were infected before the Chinese government alerted the public to the danger of the epidemic.

In the first week after the news [[leak]]ed out of China, more than ten countries including Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and others confirmed cases. Within six weeks more than 50 countries reported cases.

The virus is not related to any form of [[influence]], and its nickname '''WuFlu''' has been used because of its flu-like symptoms after the incubation period.

China has three cellphone carriers. China Mobile reported that it lost roughly 7.25 million users in February, while China Telecom lost 5.6 million users in February. The relatively small China Unicom hasn't released its February report. But in January, it lost about 1.19 million users. The entire Chinese market still lost about 12.85 million cellphone users that month.

====CCP orders information destroyed====
On February 29, 2020, NTD News<ref>https://www.ntd.com/news</ref> reported:
{{quotebox|Internal documents obtained by NTD revealed a province close to Beijing ordered a city to destroy data on the coronavirus epidemic Liaoning Province has been on lockdown for more than 20 days [as of Feb. 29, 2020] amid the corona virus outbreak one city in Liaoning province sent a report on February 23 [2020] to the province Health Commission. The report said the city's transport department as well as two district authorities had already followed an urgent instruction from the province and destroyed all data. According to the report, Chaoyang city was also required to register all people who had contact with the data and make sure that they all signed a nondisclosure agreement. The data mentioned in the report refer to information about people who had close contact with those infected with the virus. There were 13 signed non-disclosure agreements attached to the report. The agreement refers to classified data obtained on February 21 [2020]. The people who signed promised to (1} destroy all data files and storage devices such as computers, USB flash drives, mobile phones, photos, and notes; secondly, none of the above-mentioned data could be sent to anyone for any reason. And thirdly, this information may not be disclosed unless otherwise required by law. If any of these steps are violated, there will be legal consequences.

So what happened on February 21 [2020]? Official documents released that day state there were zero new cases of the corona virus in Liaoning Province. As for Chaoyang city, there were all together six reported cases and no deaths.
Since authorities were asked to destroy all data, what is it they were trying to hide? Is it the official number of cases since the outbreak began? The official number of confirmed cases in China keeps fluctuating, with many people not knowing what to believe. Earlier this month [February 2020] Shangdong Province, the second most populous province in China, was underreporting cases by up to 52 times. That's according to internal documents obtained by NTD.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRagZsnEc2Q</ref>}}
[[File:China-National-Bureau-of-Statistics.png|right|thumb|350px|Chinese economic growth rates were on a downward trajectory below where they had been 20 years earlier when the CCP began jumping through hoops required by the World Trade Organization in order to join the club.]]

====Economic impact in China====

Most all major auto producers use at least 30% of auto parts manufactured in China. With the closing of factories and lockdown of 400 million Chinese, auto supply replacement parts are likely to rise. Conversely, Chinese oil demand was down 20% two weeks after the CCP alerted the world to the outbreak. With the ban on driving and closing of public transportation, oil prices are likely to fall,

By the third week after the CCP publicly admitted to the virus outbreak, air travel was down some 80% in China. Airport security personnel at check-in outnumbered the number of flight passengers.

Nissan temporarily closed one of its factories in Japan after running short of Chinese components, one week after Hyundai in South Korea did the same. Fiat Chrysler may shutter one of its European plants.

Tourism and the travel industry suffered immediate setbacks. Chinese factory manufacturing output decline 17% in January and February 2020.<ref>https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN20U05R?__twitter_impression=true</ref>

Some cities of China were reported to have unemployment of 80% due to the coronavirus and the CCP's actions. With global sanctions looming due the Communist Party's criminal negligence, the prospects of recovery for China's export driven economy in the foreseeable future seemed forlorn.

====Crematoriums====

The leftist regime was accused of burning bodies 24 hours a day in secret to hide the true number of deaths.<ref>https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm</ref><ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/burning-bodies-secret-new-accounts-wuhan-detail-coronavirus-outbreak</ref><ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/funeral-home-worker-in-wuhan-epicenter-of-coronavirus-we-are-working-24-7-to-cremate-bodies_3227432.html</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhgtRhWh240</ref> Crematory workers are working 10–12 hours a day and do not go home. More than 60% of victims die at home and 38% in hospitals. The communist bureaucracy tries to issue death certificates, including the cause of death, within thirty minutes. Transporting corpses to crematoriums for disposal is the most time-consuming task in the process.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KFxCqV1fPQ</ref> Funeral workers were brought in to Wuhan from all over China.

There are 8 funeral homes with crematoriums in Wuhan. Cremation is the traditional mode of burial in China. As of late March 2020, CCP official statistics reported 3295 deaths. ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' reported one funeral home alone in Wuhan received a shipment of 2500 urns the same week, and a photo showed another 3500 urns stacked inside leading to further widespread suspicion that the CCP was lying about the number of reported deaths.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-27/stacks-of-urns-in-wuhan-prompt-new-questions-of-virus-s-toll</ref>
[[File:Wuhan ashes.PNG|right|thumb|150px|Trash bin full of ashes after 1 day at a Wuhan crematorium.<ref>https://twitter.com/IsChinar/status/1223045699874492417</ref>]]
The Chinese government began using mobile crematory units. In a video circulating on the internet, a Wuhan resident says she witnessed critically ill coronavirus patients sealed up in body bags while alive.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpeNO8PSuyY</ref>

While the tragedy unfolded the China Tribunal, an independent people's tribunal, released its full judgment on Chinese forced organ harvesting. The panel was chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice who previously led the [[prosecution]] of former [[Yugoslavia]] [[Prime Minister]] [[Slobodan Milosevic]] for [[war crimes]] at the International Criminal Tribunal and included other experts in law, transplant surgery, international politics, Chinese history and business. The experts concluded that the grisly practice has continued unabated. In June 2019 the tribunal delivered its findings in [[London]], concluding beyond a
reasonable doubt that state sanctioned forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has taken place for years in China on a significant scale and is still taking place. The main organ supply came from imprisoned practitioners of the persecuted spiritual group [[Falun Gong]].

The Chinese regime has persecuted the group for more than two decades. Hundreds of thousands of adherents have been thrown into prisons, labor camps, and brainwashing centers where many have been tortured in an effort to force them to renounce their faith. The tribunal concluded that the Chinese regime sustained campaign of forced organ harvesting constituted a crime against humanity. Many people have died indescribable hideous deaths for no reason, that more may suffer in similar ways, and that all of us live on a planet where extreme wickedness may be found in the power of those, who for the time being, are running a country that is one of the oldest civilizations known to modern man.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gfN2_uOvTM</ref>

===CCP reaction===
:{{See also|Chinese coronavirus - Chinese Communist Party response}}
The Chinese central government, a [[single party regime]], stifled public warnings about the epidemic for three weeks after the first confirmed inflections in early December 2019.<ref>Doctors who posted on social media about the virus were accused of spreading “illegal and false” information and made to sign a Jan. 3, 2020 letter saying that they had “severely disrupted social order:”"On December 30, 2019, WeChat group "Clinical Wuhan University 04" issued untrue statements about 7 cases of SARS diagnosed in the South China fruit and seafood market.

The [[Beijing]] central government in turn blamed local officials for allowing people to exit the city and put the rest of the population in danger.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/wuhan-mayor-admits-wrongdoing-but-pushes-blame-on-beijing-for-mishandling-viral-outbreak-crisis_3218297.html</ref>

In Wuhan, the "Chicago of China" with 11 million residents, all public transportation was halted. Gas stations were closed. Paramedic emergency services halted. Hospitals were packed and emergency phone lines do not work. There is no way to get to a hospital other than walking. Healthy people waiting for testing in hospitals are becoming infected.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuLB8moUcn8&feature=push-u-sub&attr_tag=PAu19fTV0Yzs9HuM%3A6</ref>

The outbreak occurred during the Chinese New Year when people travel to spend the holidays with family and friends, then return to their homes across China.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7b2GAf1E74&feature=push-u-sub&attr_tag=EOg_JaDhAqx2Fs8z%3A6</ref> 5 million people had exited Wuhan, some by international air flights, before the city was put on lock down on January 23, 2020. There are about 360,000 students from China attending college in the United States. The leftist regime made no provisions for a humanitarian disaster after the lockdown.

Hospitals in Hubei Province, where Wuhan is located, need 100,000 protective suits daily, but total daily production nationwide is only 30,000.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/100000-hospital-beds-to-be-added-in-hubei-china-ground-zero-of-coronavirus-outbreak_3217726.html</ref> Because of the shortage of [[personal protective equipment]] (PPE), hospital staffs began making their own masks and clothing out of non-sterile trash bags.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxXv0trBhY0</ref>

President [[Donald Trump]] offered China any help necessary.<ref>https://news.am/eng/news/556919.html</ref> The leftist regime, with its trademark [[monopoly]] control of power, banned private charities and volunteers from entering Hubei Province or sending materials to hospitals directly.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-restricts-medical-supply-donations-to-epicenter-despite-dire-need-during-viral-outbreak_3217718.html</ref> As in all top-down Communist societies, reports of rampant corruption and a black market to resell donations and supplies emerged.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3LLHQQj6mI</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzDZQavgDRk</ref>

China quarantined 80 cities. Large mobile defogger canon were videoed scouring the streets of cities spraying disinfectant.<ref>https://twitter.com/Tssomas/status/1225809838963396608</ref>

====State media reaction====
[[File:Projected cases.png|right|350px|thumb|Projected cases and fatalities January 27, 2020, four days after the outbreak became known; within four more days reported fatalities and infections more than doubled.]]
On February 5, 2020, State media broadcast an interview with lead scientist Wang Chen. Chen claimed:

1. The situation is grave. A new diagnostic class "clinically diagnosed" (those showing clinical symptoms but without [[RNA]] test) is added to facilitate access to treatment.

2. 11 new container hospitals will provide patients with light symptoms with limited medical care but better containment. Real hospitals will be used for serious cases (confirmed or suspected).

3. Suspected patients will stay in single rooms in container hospitals. Infected patients will stay in open-air beds.

4. They don't know how many are actually infected. The officially reported number is just the new test results.

5. Gilead's medicine has shown the most promise. But it still requires clinical trials.

6. They can't estimate when the turning point will be.

Chinese state-run media falsely blamed the United States for the outbreak.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg7FwHteB0I</ref> On March 12, 2020, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman initiated a [[conspiracy theory]] that the US military started the coronavirus in China,.<ref>https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1238150527751319575</ref><ref>https://news.trust.org/item/20200312152307-rlv7m</ref> Leftist media in the United States willingly aided Chinese [[psyop]] propaganda efforts by falsely calling those who link the virus to Wuhan, where it first manifested, "[[racist]]".<ref name="bizpacreview.com">https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/03/13/dems-media-warned-new-narrative-aids-chinas-new-conspiracy-us-military-started-covid-19-896694</ref>

=====Under-reporting true scale of infections=====
The true scale of infections is estimated to be possibly ten-times higher than the official number reported by the Chinese central government.<ref name="finance.yahoo.com">https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinas-coronavirus-victims-likely-10-times-higher-than-reported-analyst-says-155836267.html</ref>

On January 24, 2020, one day after the world was first alerted to the outbreak, a doctor circumventing [[liberal censorship|leftist censorship]] in Wuhan reported 90,000 infected cases.<ref>Dear friends, elders,
I ’m still in the epidemic area of Hankou, Wuhan, and I ’d like to report to you the current epidemic situation in Hubei and even the whole country.
There are now more than 90,000 person-times (Note: Infected person-times or incidents?)
What is the chance of this virus being transmitted? After a person is infected, if he is not effectively isolated,
Or if effective treatment is performed, he will infect 14 people around him, so this level is very large.
Now it’s the time of the Chinese New Year family and friends, relatives, children, and children are all going to the house to reunite the family together for a reunion dinner
The situation is special now. I hope you don’t go out.
Every year in the Spring Festival, as long as people are safe, everyone can be together anytime, anywhere
Let me introduce you to the situation of medical supplies in Hubei Province
At present, the entire medical system in Wuhan, which integrates the entire medical system in Hubei Province, has passed through our superiors. The health and health committee (Note: these three words are uncertain)
And various administrative departments

The municipal government and the provincial government are initiating donations to the society through major media. This material is medical material. For example, the goggles I wear
Wear disposable masks, wear disposable gloves, wear this gown, or even isolation pants.
This material is extremely accurate. Our current medical staff must come back to the front line when they come down from the clinic.
I am now equivalent to recording this video with everyone on the FireWire, in order to make everyone accurate.
I stress again that during the Spring Festival holiday, don’t go out and stay in your own house, otherwise I ’m desperately ahead
Not just to keep my dad, my loved ones, healthy
I hope everyone can understand, I also know that some relatives are not in the group, please see the news of me, call each other and inform
It must be done. I hope everyone can raise awareness. This is a political task.
And I ’m reporting very bad news. This new type of coronavirus has undergone the second generation mutation
In other words, in the first generation of mutation, we can treat it symptomatically.
Then when the second-generation mutation occurs, this is terrible, and its chance of infection is not one person to one person, one person has the disease and infects 14 people around him.
Then it is pour burst (note: these five characters are uncertain)
I hope everyone remembers, do n’t go out, do n’t go out, do n’t meet, do n’t have dinner
thank you all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfdWmjPt2ow https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/wuhan-nurse-fears-90000-infected-emotional-plea-help</ref> ''[[The Guardian]]'' of [[London]] quoted Prof. Neil Ferguson saying “My best guess now is perhaps 100,000 cases right now. Almost certainly many tens of thousands of people are infected.”<ref name="theguardian.com">https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-could-infect-100000-globally-experts-warn</ref> Other sources likewise have implied that the [[communist]] government of China may have under-reported the true dimensions of the problem.

Because coronavirus is a "novel" virus, meaning "new" or "unknown", technicians lack the training to identify infections. People are going to multiple hospitals daily, attempting to be tested or treated. There are a limited number of test kits available, so hospitals have to choose who will be tested. That is one more reason why the true extent of the virus was underreported.

The first week 213 deaths were reported worldwide with over 9,800 confirmed infections. The leftist Chinese regime was suspected of suppressing the real extent of the epidemic. By the end of the second week 813 were reported dead with more than 37,300 confirmed infected. 193,000 were under observation. 400 million people were on lockdown nationwide.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/more-400-million-people-lockdown-guangzhou-joins-quarantine</ref>

Near the end of the third week 1,666 were reported dead with 69,000 plus infected. There was near universal skepticism - inside and outside China - on the Chinese socialist government's reporting on the epidemic.

2363 deaths were reported with 78,000 infections near the end of the fourth week. CCP officials admitted to changing their methodology of reported infections, lowering the rate of reported numbers. [[South Korea]] was reporting a complete doubling every day for the past four days. [[Iran]] was experiencing a serious outbreak. Reported numbers in the United States were puzzling.

The sixth week - after the virus spread globally and the first death was reported in the United States, NTD reported that the Communists ordered all data on the coronavirus to be destroyed in a province close to Beijing, in a deceitful attempt to suppress the true extent of the virus' spread in China.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/ChinaDeclassified/videos/2981498908577157/</ref>

By March 21, 2020, at about the time the pandemic hit the United States, China simply stopped testing and reporting new infections and deaths.<ref name="pjmedia.com">https://pjmedia.com/trending/report-china-stopped-testing-for-covid-19-thats-why-there-are-zero-new-cases/</ref> Locals in Wuhan believe 42,000 died in the coronavirus outbreak, not the 3,200 claimed by CCP. The CCP paid hush money to families of dead victims. Taiwan reported that the CCP ordered 200,000 body bags.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhzF-5xELOE&feature=em-lsp</ref> 21 million cell phone accounts disappeared in the first 3 months of the pandemic.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/03/24/21-million-chinese-cellphone-users-disappear-in-three-months-of-pandemic/</ref>

=====Censorship=====

CCP authorities cracked down hard on people trying to break through the veil of government secrecy, as [[discrediting attack|they call it "rumormongering"]], according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. All persons who spread "fake news" (i.e. the truth about the real extent of the epidemic, its spread and its consequences), and thus disturbs social order, will face up to three years in prison detention or disciplinary action under China's [[social credit system]]. Offenders who cause serious consequences will be given three to seven-year prison terms.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLROgqAjDhQ</ref>
[[File:Hong Kong protests.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Graffiti from the late November, 2019 Hong Kong democracy protests reads: "Dear world, CCP will infiltrate your government, Chinese enterprises $ interfere your political stance, China will harvest your home like [[Xinjiang]]. BEWARE OR BE NEXT!"<ref>https://twitter.com/HKstreetart/status/1196483549492391937/photo/1</ref>]]
Despite the threat of prison, many people still went online to blame the government, both high and low ranking officials. Some residents of Wuhan posted videos calling for international help. Viral videos showed dead bodies on the floor in hospitals as patients sat near by. Videos of massively crowded hospitals were posted causing local authorities to build a giant new containment facility in a week. However, video footage of the project came from Chinese state media. It was released it to [[the West|Western]] [[media]] as a [[propaganda]] effort to demonstrate how "great" the [[authoritarian]] approach to problem solving is. The structures are not really hospitals at all. The structures are large quarantine camps where people are monitored and receive no treatment at all.<ref>https://twitter.com/owishemwe/status/1225758761370910720</ref><ref>[[BuzzFeed]] reported that video of one such "hospital" was actually an apartment building being constructed on the other side of the country. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/china-state-media-false-coronavirus-hospital-image</ref>

The Chinese people became more creative in skirting leftist censorship laws. Guizhou television broadcast a child reading a poem entitled, ''"China has a cold because of a virus that wears a crown,''" a veiled reference to [[President Xi]] and the Communist party.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajONB3eMQP4</ref>

The leftist social media platform [[Twitter]] suspended [[Zerohedge]] for its extensive reporting on the Coronavirus outbreak.<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/political/zerohedge-suspended-twitter</ref>

On March 1, 2020 the Communist regime imposed a new [[internet]] censorship policy on the heavily policed Weibo. The hashtag #takedownthewall began trending. Some comments were preserved in screenshots:
*"I know it's useless, but I want to speak up anyway."
*"I'd rather die than not be free."
*"I want to know the world."
*"If we don't take it down, the wall will only be higher and higher."
*"Why should we be proud to stick our head in the sand?"
*"I retweeted 6 posts. They are all deleted now because they have the hashtag. I am going to repost them."
*"We don't want to live in a world where we can't speak. We want to have our own voice."
*"They cover our eyes, ears, mouths....but now, do they want to cut off our hands so we can't write? Maybe they will cut off our feet so we can't walk ahead."

In an effort to "control the narrative" the CCP kicked out three major American news agencies, ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'', and the ''Wall Street Journal'' in March 2020.<ref>http://archive.is/yA41R#selection-917.0-917.96</ref> The [[Democratic party]] and [[liberal media]] only too willingly pushed Chinese communist [[propaganda]] on the source of the global pandemic.<ref name="bizpacreview.com"/><ref>https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1237174846355841024</ref>

In April 2020 Hua Chunying, director of the Foreign Ministry Information Department, claimed anyone is able to travel to China "anytime and talk to anyone in the streets to enjoy the freedom." U.S. [[FCC]] Commissioner [[Brendan Carr]] responded on Twitter asking to speak with people, from citizen journalists to medical workers, who have disappeared after raising the alarm over the new virus.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2020/04/14/fcc-commissioner-brendan-carr-fight-against-ccp-propaganda-n2566840</ref>

====Lockdown and mass arrests====

Prior to the opening of camps, the Communist party nailed and barricaded whole households inside their residences. Gates of apartment buildings were welded shut,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YtqH6eyGaM</ref> and food delivered every three days. When the quarantine camps were ready to receive victims, the Chinese government began forcibly removing people and arresting them to fill up camps.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GYqcNy4UGU</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsfe-LAMFIk</ref> [[5G]] technology has been used to facilitate mass round-up

A person can be arrested for not wearing a mask.

Student dorms have been taken over as quarantine detention facilities.

The socialist system, which guarantees access to healthcare as a human right, posted banners reading,
{{quotebox-float|"If you dare go out we will break your legs; we'll knock your teeth off if you dare talk back."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmsD3myyFas&t=84s</ref>}}
At least two citizen journalists who were reporting on the real situation in Wuhan and posting on the internet disappeared. It is unknown if they fell victim to the virus or were arrested for violating [[Liberal censorship|communist censorship]] laws.

====Racism====
:''See also: [[East Asia, China, atheism and racism#China and racism|China and racism]]''
The Leftwing communist government's response was to blame foreigners for importing the virus.<ref>https://www.ibtimes.com/china-blames-world-new-coronavirus-cases-all-imported-no-local-transmission-2946187</ref> [[Black]] Africans and [[African American]]s were evicted from their apartments and refused service in local shops and restaurants.{{Dead link}}<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/africans-in-china-being-evicted-from-homes-after-lockdown-ends/ar-BB12uxqM{{Dead link}}</ref> Those who could leave the socialist paradise ended up living on the streets, constantly harassed by the [[police]].<ref>https://www.france24.com/en/20200411-if-you-re-black-you-can-t-go-out-africans-in-china-face-racism-in-covid-19-crackdown</ref>

One of the biggest ways the outbreak of the CCP coronavirus has damaged China's international reputation is by exposing the country's racist attitude toward Africans. Despite the fact that the virus originated in China itself, local governments and people in different parts of the country have been treating Africans like they were the ones responsible for triggering the COVID-19 pandemic. Such an attitude obviously has angered millions of Africans back home.<ref>https://www.visiontimes.com/2020/05/05/africans-enraged-at-chinas-racist-attitude.html</ref>

On April 13, 2020, the U.S. consulate had to issue an alert warning [[African-American]]s to avoid the [[Guangzhou]] region since they could be racially targeted. It advised African-Americans in China to always carry their identity documents with them since it is less likely for officials to target an American citizen.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian accused the U.S. of trying to drive a wedge between Africa and China, saying that the United States was being neither responsible nor [[moral]]. A [[State Department]] spokesperson pointed out that the mistreatment meted out to Africans in China is a clear signal of how hollow the China-Africa relationship is despite Beijing constantly masquerading as being a benefactor for African people.<ref>https://en.tuidang.org/news/communist-regime/2020/05/africans-enraged-at-chinas-racist-attitude.html</ref>

====Wolf warrior diplomacy====
[[File:CCP anti-semitism.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The communist controlled Chinese embassy in [[France]] tweeted an [[anti-Semitic]] image portraying the United States as the grim reaper carrying an [[Israel]]i flag knocking on Hong Kong's door.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/national-security/chinese-embassy-in-france-tweets-quickly-deletes-anti-semitic-imagery/</ref>]]
:{{See also|Wolf warrior diplomacy}}
The Chinese Communist regime reacted to the international crisis it created with "Wolf Warrior" style diplomacy, named after the 2015 Chinese fascist action film and its 2017 sequel. Wolf Warrior is named after a fearsome screen hero, Wu Jing, a kind of Chinese Rambo. The CCP stoked anger in Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and many others.

The CCP demands that the outside world treat Taiwan as a pariah. It wants it to be known only as “Chinese Taipei” or “Taiwan, Province of China” in public documents. It insists that the island state be denied observer status in the World Health Assembly, the deliberative body for the UN's health watchdog, the World Health Organization.

CCP's English language mouthpiece, ''[[Global Times]]'' justifies the CCP's bellicose reaction to international requests for an independent inquiry into the origins of the CCP virus outbreak:
{{quotebox-float|what's behind China's perceived "Wolf Warrior" style diplomacy is the changing strengths of China and [[the West]]. When the West falls short of its ability to uphold its interests, it can only resort to a hysterical hooligan style [[diplomacy]] in an attempt to maintain its waning dignity. As Western diplomats fall into disgrace, they are getting a taste of China's "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy....

Some claim that China is abandoning its principle of "hiding its ability and biding its time" which it stuck to over the past 30 years. The "Wolf Warrior" style of diplomacy doesn't contradict this principle, it's just less subtle. The reasoning behind this principle was to dilute ideological conflicts and concentrate on development, and China's national policy has always prioritized economic development. China embraces [[globalization]] and [[multilateral]] cooperation. The growing influence of China worldwide can be largely attributed to internationalization and the force of markets.<ref>https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1185776.shtml</ref>}}
On April 3, 2020, a Chinese coast-guard ship intentionally rammed and sank a [[Vietnam]]ese fishing vessel. The two countries are in conflict over jurisdiction of the Paracel Islands and fishing rights in the waters around the archipelago. On April 18, China unilaterally announced the establishment of the Nansha and Xisha administrative districts in the Paracels and the Spratly Islands, drawing a protest from the [[Philippines]], which has a presence of its own on at least nine Spratly islands and islets, including Fiery Cross Reef. The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, which monitors territorial conflicts, says Fiery Cross has been transformed into a Chinese missile base. In an earlier move, in mid-February 2020, a Chinese naval ship locked its radar on a Philippines naval vessel near the Commodore Reef in the Spratlys, signaling a strike as an act of intimidation. China in recent months has also provoked conflicts with [[Malaysia]], [[Brunei]], and Taiwan. ''[[The National Review]]'' reports:
{{quotebox|China appears to be exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to advance its South China Sea expansion project by “brute force … using its increasingly powerful navy to assert its dominance by harassing the shipping of rival states, even at times, in their own territorial waters.”

But just as China’s failure to stop a local epidemic from becoming a global catastrophe has brought it precisely the bad PR it was hoping to avoid, its South China Sea bullying has resulted in intensified anti-Chinese reactions in Southeast Asia and around the world. Beijing’s efforts to staunch the country’s hemorrhaging international reputation have had the opposite effect....

China’s illegal assertiveness in the South China Sea — its wolf-warrior diplomacy — is damaging the state’s and Chinese people’s reputations. But it is also perhaps the greatest threat to international peace and security in the world today. Understanding the sources of China’s behavior is thus a matter of paramount concern.

...Economic growth had faltered before the onset of the coronavirus, but now the country faces food shortages, unemployment, inflation, a debt crisis, and, given the inflexibility of centralized and often corrupt management, even the specter of financial collapse. The CCP has relied merely on two factors to legitimize its rule in China despite its notorious record of human-rights violations and corruption: economic performance and nationalism. As the economy suffers, nationalism intensifies.

The kind of nationalism that has emerged in China is, like that of [[Nazi Germany]], intrinsically aggressive toward nonconforming individuals, groups, and other societies.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/chinas-wolf-warrior-diplomacy-in-context/</ref>}}

====Public reaction====

One of the eight doctors - Dr. [[Li Wenliang]] - forced to a sign a confession on January 3, 2020, admitting to posting “illegal and false” information warning the public of the coronavirus outbreak and epidemic, died on February 7, 2020. A selfie of the doctor lying sick in his hospital bed went viral, stirring widespread outrage in China.<ref name="gatestoneinstitute.org">https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15576/china-coronavirus-li-wenliang</ref> “To get an idea of the enormous scale of said outpouring of grief and anger, Dr. Li’s death apparently generated 800 million(!) comments on Weibo by midnight - 2.5 hours after it was first reported and 3 hours before it was confirmed by the hospital."<ref name="twitter.com">https://twitter.com/davidpaulk/status/1225620210775994368?s=11</ref>

[https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1236590/coronavirus-latest-china-pets-slaughtered-disease-virus-world-health-organisation-wuhan Tens of thousands of pets in China to be slaughtered by authorities] (Chinese citizens have been ordered to KILL their animals or risk them being culled by the Communist regime). As cats and dogs can transmit the virus, some people on lockdown in highrise apartments have resorted to throwing pets out of windows and balconies.

Additionally, due to the lockdown and workers unable to get to their places of employment, tens of thousands of poultry have starved to death in factory farms, a harbinger of coming food shortages for the country.<ref>https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1225636440844845059</ref>

====Comparisons with Chernobyl====
In 1986 the explosion of a [[nuclear reactor]] in [[Ukraine]] (then part of the [[Soviet Union]]) was the first in a series of events which led to the fall of [[Communism]] in [[Russia]]. The leftist regime's inability to contain information about the disaster from the Russian people and the world, and the exposure of corruption and inefficiencies of the socialist system, coupled with the danger the socialist system and policies presented to global public health, ultimately led to a collapse of the left-wing top-down [[command and control]] social, political, economic, and public healthcare system throughout 13 Soviet Republics and its [[Eastern Europe|Eastern bloc]] socialist satellite states.<ref name="washingtonpost.com"/><ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-virus-china-bans-food-markets-selling-live-animals-wolves-2020-1 China banned live animal sales in Wuhan, after a food market selling wolves and civet cats was linked to a deadly virus], ''Business Insider'', 2020</ref><ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/27/world/coronavirus-china-bans-wildlife-trade-trnd/index.html Chinese officials crack down on wildlife markets as coronavirus outbreak nears 3,000 cases], CNN, 2020</ref>

=== Atheistic, Chinese Communist Party and the COVID-19 pandemic ===

The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) mandates its members be [[atheists]] (see: [[China and atheism]] and [[Atheism and communism]] and [[militant atheism]] and [[State atheism]]).<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref><ref>[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''</ref>

The CCP tried to cover up the emergence of the COVID-19 which prevented the pandemic being contained in its early stages.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>

[[File:Mao corona.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Chinese Communists suppressed news of the outbreak for two months, arrested doctors who posted on social media about it, and did not advise the people of Wuhan until after the virus spread throughout the world.]]
''The Atlantic'' reported concerning the role of the CCP to allow the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to spread in China and globally during its early stages:
{{Cquote|China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January—for well over a month after the first outbreak in Wuhan—far surpasses those bungled responses. The end of last year was the time for authorities to act, and, as Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times has noted, “act decisively they did—not against the virus, but against whistle-blowers who were trying to call attention to the public health threat.”

This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23—seven weeks after the virus first appeared. As events in Italy, the United States, Spain, and France have shown, quite a lot can happen in a week, much less seven. By then, mayor Zhou Xianwang admitted that more than 5 million people had already left Wuhan.<ref name="theatlantic.com">[https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/china-trolling-world-and-avoiding-blame/608332/ China Is Avoiding Blame by Trolling the World], The Atlantic</ref>}}

=== Early stage of the global pandemic and various organizations ===

Approximately six weeks before the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic in early December 2019 in Wuhan (China), an exercise was organized by the Davos World Economic Forum in cooperation with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The exercise was held in [[New York City]] on 18 October 2019, for the specific purpose of mapping the response of transnational corporations and governments to a coronavirus epidemic.<ref>[https://www.voltairenet.org/article209126.html?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=59e20589189a4ef51e1c790a502c38dca2d37001-1582567175-0-AVunZ5W4TxylXaPL1c5ZSk-m7WveKOAu-ZhEuSPLUU12pMVSa0Ee_7y2wZLldc86g38I0X2OPFXUjQeSc6zzQ1pUxu_kQ8WiC3BW_tdzH0QrGU302w8xRqgsaaFmnWfdfim6VYYfo4VN_MfL9qX3JKGZmCYhKu8mlNaYe2OABUc3DOGK2a_2V_zgkRfT3O0PjmSsKl5WZf2G5DXeFWNcDR_LwJP4FzpiBjsGS4-d5DpygDcoIGMHUmo5Z6AdhWz7Dn7oi80qGOKwuT0sy2U1rpevae6wV-104xkyPPWysx2s]</ref>

The pandemic spread as a result of human-to-human transmission beginning in Wuhan. As it metastasized, the World Health Organization (WHO) parroted the Chinese Communist Party line that the Wuhan virus could not be passed from one human to another, and that it was “racist” to refer to the virus by its place of origin.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/26/5-major-paradigm-shifts-the-wuhan-flu-crisis-has-revealed-americans-need/</ref> The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) has bought off the WHO in their propaganda offensive.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwFTZawOc9k</ref>

[[Harvard University]] epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch predicted that within a year, 40% to 70% of the world's population would get the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease that it causes.

==Infection rate==

The infection rate for Wuhan coronavirus was estimated to be as high as 83%, with a mortality rate of 15%. Hence out of every 1000 people exposed to the virus, 120 would die. A non-peer reviewed study from China claims one person can infect four others<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmrm0mk5928&feature=youtu.be</ref> (reproduction rate or RO<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUrURyXXmTw</ref>) and possibly as many as 14.<ref>Sars expert Zhong Nanshan said in a press conference on January 21 that a super-spreader had infected 14 medical staff in a hospital in Wuhan. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3048518/coronavirus-case-load-and-death-toll-china-rise-epicentre-hubei-province</ref> [[Hydroxychloroquine]] has been approved by the [[Food and Drug Administration]] for advanced clinical trials with stricken victims.
[[File:Coronavirus Infected and recoveries minus China & Italy May 20.jpg|right|371px|thumb|Note: "infected" represents number of infected on the date indicated who had sought medical attention.]]
Later studies found antibodies in large numbers of the population, showing they had contracted the disease without showing any or showing very moderate symptoms. The virus was shown, overall, to have the same fatality rate and transmission rates of many forms of flu. However the duration of the contraction, symptomatic or not, has been shown to be able to last around sixty or seventy days. Also, the disease process takes place by being potentially devastating to the lungs, deleterious to those who survive the disease as well as those who succumb to it.

French researchers found a lower rate of infection among [[nicotine]] users than in the general population.<ref>https://reason.com/2020/04/24/can-nicotine-treat-covid-19-french-researchers-think-so/</ref>

===Transmission===
The Hong Kong specialists wrote,
{{quotebox-float|75,815 individuals (95% CrI 37,304- 130,330) had been infected in Greater Wuhan as of Jan 25, 2020. We also estimated that [[Chongqing]], Beijing, [[Shanghai]], [[Guangzhou]], and Shenzhen, had imported 461 (227–805), 113 (57–193), 98 (49–168), 111 (56–191), and 80 (40–139) infections from Wuhan, respectively. 
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen were the mainland Chinese cities that together accounted for 53% of all outbound international air travel from China and 69% of international air travel outside [[Asia]], whereas Chongqing is a large metropolis that has a population of 32 million and very high ground traffic volumes with Wuhan. Substantial epidemic take-off in these cities would thus contribute to the spread of 2019-nCoV within and outside mainland China.<ref>https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2020/02/the-big-lockdown/</ref>}}

There were about 2,300 departing international air flights from the infected area to [[New York City]], [[San Francisco]], [[London]], [[Tokyo]], [[Rome]], [[Istanbul]], [[Dubai]], [[Paris]], [[Sydney]], [[Bali]], [[Bangkok]], [[Moscow]], [[Osaka]] [[Japan]], [[Seoul]], and [[Singapore]]
before the CCP ruling class alerted the public of the spread of the virus.

The virus has been found in fecal matter, meaning fumes leaking from sewage systems may spread transmission.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-spread-contagious-everything-know-1486934</ref>

===Herd immunity===
There has never been a successful [[vaccine]] for any coronavirus in all of human history, and the task of trying to develop one for COVID-19 has become exceedingly more difficult now that scientists have discovered that there are 30 different strains of the virus. The outbreak will rip through the population, and nothing that politicians can do will be able to stop that from happening.<ref>http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-facts-that-prove-that-almost-everyone-is-wrong-about-this-coronavirus-pandemic</ref>

Mitigation efforts and flattening the curve are intended to prevent overwhelming medical facilities and frontline healthcare workers Immunological compromised individuals - the elderly, obese, diabetics and people with heart conditions for example, are most vulnerable and at risk. Otherwise healthy individuals who become infected will develop antibodies and resistance to the illness.

In April 2020 preliminary results from New York's first coronavirus [[antibody]] study show nearly 14 percent tested positive, meaning they had the virus at some point and recovered. That equates to 2.7 million infections statewide — more than 10 times the state's confirmed cases.<ref>https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/new-york-virus-deaths-top-15k-cuomo-expected-to-detail-plan-to-fight-nursing-home-outbreaks/2386556/</ref> Herd immunity is developing in New York state.<ref>https://www.jhsph.edu/covid-19/articles/achieving-herd-immunity-with-covid19.html</ref> The study is based on 3,000 random samples from 40 locations in 19 counties. While the preliminary data suggests much more widespread infection, it means New York's mortality rate is much lower than previously thought.

Studies in [[prison]]s showed rates of [[asymptomatic carrier]]s as high as 96%,<ref>https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/04/26/study-infected-prison-inmates-four-states-finds-96-asymptomatic/</ref> meaning that herd immunity developed rapidly.

===Impact of warmer weather===
In warmer weather, viruses die more quickly in the air and thus do not spread as easily. This is a main reason why the flu is seasonal. Another reason is that during warmer weather people are not in close quarters indoors as much, where germs spread easily.

It is expected that warmer weather will help limit the spread of COVID-19 in the United States.<ref>https://www.denverpost.com/2020/03/09/colorado-climate-slow-spread-coronavirus/</ref> [[DHS]] studies show the virus has an 18-hour half-life when exposed to sunlight and [[humidity]].<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-dhs-official-coronavirus-dies-fastest-in-sunlight-heat-humidity</ref> However, [[liberal]]s downplay this issue because it undermines their agenda against the imaginary man-made [[global warming]].

===Preexisting conditions and medical complications===

Concerning homosexuality, coronavirus infections and medical complications, according to Cincinnati.com which is part of the ''USA Today'' network:
{{Cquote|Over 100 different national organizations,including Whitman-Walker Health and SAGE, have signed a letter created by the LGBT Cancer Network to bring attention to several factors that could mean the [[LGBTQ]] community is at a greater risk of complications from [[COVID-19]], including:

*Higher rates of [[HIV]] and [[cancer]] in the LGBTQ community means that a greater number of people may have compromised immune systems, which leaves them more vulnerable to COVID-19 infections.<ref>[https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/nation/2020/03/18/lgbtq-coronavirus-community-vulnerable-covid-19-pandemic/2863813001/ LGBTQ community may be 'particularly vulnerable' to coronavirus pandemic. Here's why.]</ref>}}

===Fatality rate===
[[File:Cdc-numbers-covid--600x180.jpg|right|350px|thumb|In August 2020 the United States Center for Disease Control reported only 6% of deaths previously reported as fatalities could be attributed exclusively to covid.<ref>https://www.wcvb.com/article/new-cdc-report-shows-94-of-us-covid-deaths-had-contributing-conditions-heres-what-that-means/33854593</ref>]]
By May 2020, when the misleading data from the technocratic and [[Marxist]] scientific experts of China were finally removed from global scientific data bases, it was established that [[Sweden]] had one death per 4,900 people, the United States one death per 6,400, the [[UK]] one per 3,300, [[France]] one per 3,000, [[Italy]] one per 2,450 people, and [[Spain]] one per 2,100 people. 80% of fatalities in all these countries are people over age 60 or people with compromised immune systems. This data is based on the number of people tested. In New York, groundzero for the coronavirus attack in the United States, about 20% of the population had been infected, with half that number showing no symptoms ([[asymptomatic]]).

Since by far most carriers are asymptomatic, mitigation efforts such as lockdowns, social distancing, hand washing, masks, etc. are aimed not at preventing one from catching the virus, but rather more importantly not breathing the virus onto others, social distancing, masks, handwashing etc. must remain in place after lockdowns are ended. And lockdowns can be reimposed at anytime in counties and states if mitigation efforts are not practiced and pockets of outbreaks occur for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021.

Ultimately, herd immunity will develop over years. Protecting the most vulnerable - elderly and people with preexisting conditions such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. - is the goal of continued mitigation efforts. Asymptomatic carriers - generally the young and healthy are the most dangerous in society because they tend to be [[stupid]] as well, with no regard for the rights of their fellow citizens (witness the polling data on the popularity of [[socialism]] among people under age 35). Not wearing a mask in public is a sign of blatant disrespect for the health and safety of other people.

Fatalities will not stop with the end of lockdowns. The danger of the virus is far from past, with asymptotic carriers - people with the infection showing no sign of the illness and without masks - being the most reckless, careless, and dangerous in [[society]]. Testing for the virus is meaningless, being that an uninfected person can become infected five minutes after testing negative at a testing site. Only people - young communists, liberals, progressives, and socialists included - showing concern for the welfare of their fellow citizens by wearing a mask and observing social distancing guidelines - can defeat the spread of the virus over the next two years as herd immunity develops.

==Treatment and vaccines==
Early treatment of this disease by [[hydroxychloroquine]] has been reportedly successful in dozens of studies<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2052297520300615</ref> and numerous individual situations. India, for example, uses hydroxychloroquine as prophylaxis<ref>https://www.mohfw.gov.in/pdf/AdvisoryontheuseofHydroxychloroquinasprophylaxisforSARSCoV2infection.pdf</ref> and has one of the smallest mortality rates per million residents of any country.<ref>https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/</ref> In the United States, [[liberal]] government officials have impeded its widespread use to minimize potential credit to [[Trump]] in an election year, resulting in a skyrocketing mortality rate higher than in many comparable, but much poorer, countries.

The [[Council of Europe]], based upon its historical experience with the [[Nazi regime]], has ruled that no person can be forcibly vaccinated.<ref>https://anglicanmainstream.org/council-of-europe-bans-forced-vaccination/</ref>

==United States==
[[File:LiveLeak-dot-com-covid2 1598829254.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Despite the panic, fewer than 10,000 Americans by August 2020 died of covid, despite the 180,000 earlier reported.<ref>https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=kJNVC_1598829286</ref>]]
:{{See also|CCP virus in the United States}}
Once again, the United States was subjected to a great deal of [[fake news]] reporting early on. Through the [[CARES Act]], the federal government incentivized hospitals to overreport COVID deaths with payments of $13,000 per head.

The first cases in the US were recorded in January 2020. By March thousands of cases were being reported daily. Some cases are known to be seeded via Europe (you can view historical interactive statistics [https://coronavirus-stats.live/county/united-states/ here]).
In August 2020 the [[CDC]] updated it's [[COVID-19]] numbers with drastic results. The CDC admitted that only 6% of all the 153,504 deaths recorded actually died from Covid. That's 9,210 deaths. The other 94% had 2 to 3 other serious illnesses and the overwhelming majority were of very advanced age; 90% in nursing homes.<ref>https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm?fbclid=IwAR2-muRM3tB3uBdbTrmKwH1NdaBx6PpZo2kxotNwkUXlnbZXCwSRP2OmqsI</ref>

Incidents and outbreaks were expected to occur in the United States throughout 2020 and into 2021. Due to [[globalization]] and globalized supply chains, shortages of crucial medicines, medical devices and equipment were already occurring in the first month of the reported outbreak. Social isolation is the only known method of combating the spread of infection. Persons with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible. Frequent handwashing is recommended. The first known death in America was recorded on February 29, 2020.

Traffic at the Long Beach harbor where Chinese goods are imported for distribution to American markets was down 40% the first month. The mayor of [[San Francisco]] declared a state of emergency on February 26, 2020.<ref>https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/484602-san-francisco-declares-state-of-emergency-over-coronavirus</ref>

As the pandemic spread to the United States and criticism of the CCP grew, China again threatened to leverage its dominant position in the production of essential medical supplies to cut off Americans from vital equipment.

Without mitigation efforts, U.S. [[GDP]] could shrink one third and as many as 47 million people become [[unemployed]], surpassing [[Great Depression]] era levels experts say. Upwards of 2 million people could succumb to the virus if mitigation efforts are ignored.

The pandemic is expected to remain in the United States for at least two years until 60% of the population becomes infected and herd immunity develops. A synthetic vaccine, which contains the mRNA of the virus or a modified version of a different virus, is being mass produced and tested on recipients for age, body weight, pre-existing conditions, etc. The Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine and Moderna vaccine are two most commonly used mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

As of July 2021, 6,985 deaths were recorded among vaccine recipients.<ref>[https://www.openvaers.com/covid-data/mortality COVID Vaccine Data Through June 25, 2021]</ref> [[Dr. Robert Malone]], inventor of the mRNA vaccine, has cautioned against its usage.<ref>https://trialsitenews.com/bioethics-of-experimental-covid-vaccine-deployment-under-eua-its-time-we-stop-and-look-at-whats-going-down/</ref>

===CDC projections===

The CDC modeled four scenarios of the spread of the disease in a presentation in February 2020. The worst case was 1.7 million deaths. The best was 200,000. Other infectious disease experts weren't as optimistic:

:Dr. Lawler recently presented his own “best guess” projections to American hospital and health system executives at a private webinar convened by the American Hospital Association. He estimated that some 96 million people in the United States would be infected. Five out of every hundred would need hospitalization, which would mean close to five million hospital admissions, nearly two million of those patients requiring intensive care and about half of those needing the support of ventilators.

:Dr. Lawler’s calculations suggested 480,000 deaths, which he said was conservative. By contrast, about 20,000 to 50,000 people have died from flu-related illnesses this season, according to the C.D.C. Unlike with seasonal influenza, the entire population is thought to be susceptible to the new coronavirus.<ref>http://archive.is/QzLH5</ref>

'''IHME projections - [[Gates Foundation]]'''

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) also posted projections based on the latest numbers. They're expecting 86,000+ deaths in the next four months, with the U.S. to reach 10,000 sometime around April 5–6, 20,000 within a week after that, and 50,000 around April 24–25. If they're correct, we'll start the month on Wednesday with a bit less than 5,000 people dead of COVID-19 and end it with nearly 60,000 deceased. In a worst-case scenario, we could be approaching 100,000 dead — in one month.

Deaths will begin to slow in May thanks to the social distancing practices being followed now (and maybe because of warmer weather) but if the projection were correct, Americans were poised to see roughly as many of their fellow citizens die of this illness in four to five weeks as died in the [[Vietnam War]], [[Iraq War]], and [[Afghan War]] combined.<ref>https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/03/30/birx-100-200000-dead-best-case-scenario-almost-perfect-social-distancing/</ref>

===Response===

In the United States, fake news panic-mongers expected a top-down command-and-control response with [[big government]] dictating testing and standards. Rather than duplicate the effort under a federal bureaucracy that was unprepared, ill-equipped and would take months or years to service a nation of 327 million people, the [[Trump administration]] moved quickly to engage existing [[private sector]] laboratories, medical personnel, and suppliers to confront the crisis.

The [[Center for Disease Control]] under the [[Obama administration]] had focused on [[gun control]], racism, [[social justice]], and [[obesity]] as public health concerns, and ignored preparation for a widescale pandemic in the era of global travel and global trade.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/03/cdc-was-fighting-racism-and-obesity-instead-daniel-greenfield/</ref>

In response to the [[Wuhan coronavirus]] [[epidemic]], a [[bipartisan]] group of United States Senators had fashioned an emergency relief spending bill as the U.S. [[economy]] nose-dived with layoffs, shutdowns, and state-wide lockdowns to prevent spread of the deadly disease. [[Democrat]] [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]] nixed the entire emergency relief package which would have given families on lockdown at home emergency cash assistance and allocated immediate funding for doctors, hospitals, and medical staff to fight the deadly virus which was claiming over 100 lives daily.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/03/23/us-coronavirus-deaths-exceed-100-for-first-time-in-a-single-day/</ref> Pelosi demanded elements of the [[Green New Deal]] be included, such as airline carbon emission restrictions, tax credits for windmills and solar panels, expanded [[ballot harvesting]] and ballot box stuffing, and a plethora of other [[social justice warrior]] schemes targeted at destroying American [[capitalism]].

On May 30, 2020, the ''Grand Rapids Herald-Review'' stated:
{{Cquote|Dr. Vladimir Zelenko serves as a Primary Care Physician in suburban New York City—the epicenter of this outbreak. “I knew that the virus would hit our area hard due to our population density—we have 32,000 people living in one square mile. So I did my own research looking at what had been done in other countries that experienced the virus before us as well as looking at treatments developed for the SARS outbreak in 2003 (another coronavirus). I developed my own protocol of a three drug cocktail: HCL, Azithromycin, and Zinc. In the last few weeks I have seen 1,450 patients with COVID symptoms. I divided my patients into two groups: high risk and low risk. The low risk patients (under age 60 and healthy) statistically get better without treatment, so I sent them home to rest and get over the virus. I gave my drug cocktail to 405 high risk patients (over age 60 or with underlying health problems) whose conditions were most severe. The accepted rate of COVID mortality at that time for high risk patients was 5%, so if I had just relied on ventilators I could have expected to see 20 of my patients die. But using these three drugs I only lost two patients, one of which was very old and had been chronically ill. This was a significant order of magnitude better than expected outcomes.”

Dr. Zelenko explains the rationale behind his treatment program. “The zinc is what kills the virus and zinc occurs naturally in the body but has a hard time penetrating the cell where the virus lives. What the hydroxychloroquine does is open a channel into the cell so the zinc can enter and stop the virus from replicating. Adding an extra dose of zinc to the cocktail has been shown to improve outcomes by about 25%. Meanwhile, the azithromycin stands guard to combat any secondary bacterial infection that may crash the party and cause pneumonia.”

After seeing the effectiveness of his treatment regimen, Dr. Zelenko stated, “I realized what I had, and I felt like a front line soldier who had stumbled across some very important intelligence—some valuable information that needed to be communicated to the 5-star general because that information could be used to win the war.”

Within a few weeks, Dr. Zelenko had published video reports of his findings and was in touch not only with the US Coronavirus Taskforce, but with over a dozen governments around the world from Russia, to South Africa, to Peru. Four weeks ago the government of Brazil began implementing Dr. Zelenko’s protocol, and he explains their results: “One week ago the Brazilians published a study revealing a 95% reduction in deaths after this drug cocktail was introduced for use in their government hospitals.”<ref>[https://www.grandrapidsmn.com/opinion/doctors-discover-effective-life-saving-treatment-for-covid-19/article_3619c254-a1d4-11ea-a886-43929db0aeb5.html Doctors discover effective, life-saving treatment for Covid-19] By Rev.

====CARES Act====
{{See also|CARES Act}}
The CARES Act obligates an unprecedented amount of federal money, directed at broad swathes of the entire [[economy]], and grants the [[Secretary of the Treasury]] and the various government agencies responsible for implementing it vast discretion. The bill, along with its worker protections and accounting provisions to guard against corporate fraud and abuses, was first introduced by [[Republican]] Majority Leader [[Mitch McConnell]].<ref name="news.yahoo.com">https://news.yahoo.com/next-trumps-1t-plan-stabilize-045132929.html</ref> [[Democrat]]s attempted to stop the Coronavirus Rescue package from becoming law,<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-block-key-vote-on-dollar2-trillion-coronavirus-bill-as-senate-floor-erupts-with-partisan-anger/ar-BB11xjB8</ref> denying Americans relief from [[unemployment]] due to the nationwide shutdown caused by the coronavirus outbreak.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/democrats-block-advancement-of-critical-economic-relief-package</ref> In its place Democrats sought to include dozens of [[economic planning|socialist planning]] measures intended to destroy [[capitalism]] and convert America into a [[Marxist]] state.<ref>https://100percentfedup.com/heres-the-senate-bill-speaker-pelosi-and-senator-schumer-convinced-every-democrat-to-vote-against-cash-for-americans-help-for-small-businesses-funding-for-research-treatment-for-coronavir/</ref> The original Republican bill had worker protections and safeguards against corporate abuses, despite Democrat talking points and fake news media accounts conjured up to justify Democrats obstruction of the Act aimed at staving off economic collapse. After money for museums and the arts and other Democrat pet projects were added, the bill passed both houses of Congress unanimously under President Trump's urging.

Every individual in America will receive $1,200 if they make $75,000 or less.<ref>https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/mcconnells-1t-coronavirus-relief-plan-proposes-payments-of-1200-per-person/</ref> It is $2,400 for a married couple. In addition, there's $500 for every minor child. Average family of four will receive $3400. If they make between $75,000 and $99,000 they'll lose $5 for every $100 in earnings over the $75,000 cap, and at $99,000 it phases out for an individual. Double that for a married couple.<ref name="news.yahoo.com"/>

Freelancers, 1099 workers, and gig workers were also included. Anyone with a social security number who was not dependent on someone else is eligible. Those receiving a social security retirement benefit, a social security disability benefit, or Supplemental Security income will receive a payment. These are going to be made by the IRS with direct deposit. Enhanced [[unemployment]] benefits are also available. Average worker will receive 100% of their regular salary up to four months. No garnishments, accrued interest, or payments on student loans as of now through September 30, 2020.<ref>https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14608</ref>

The bill includes $350 billion in money for small firms. The paycheck protection loan is like a loan that transfers into a grant. Firms with fewer than 500 workers give their expenses for the past 8 weeks. Of the money small firms borrowed, there will be forgiveness of payrolls, utilities, rent, and interest on mortgage debt.

Rep.

====Testing====
The [[Trump administration]] [[Department of Health and Human Services]] approved licensed pharmacists to administer COVID-19 testing. There are 40,000 pharmacy locations in the United States with a 150,000 pharmacists. 91% of the U.S. population lives within five miles of a chain drugstore, traditional drug store, supermarket or mass merchant with a pharmacy. In many rural communities the pharmacist is the only healthcare provider.

The CDC website will help viewers to determine the priorities of the people that will be tested. Testing generally is to be done outside the store so patients and customers can be safe.

===Inconclusive list of suggestions for U.S. residents===
[[File:Drone-footage-shows-mass-grave-in-new-yorks-hart-island-1-thum (1).jpg|right|250px|thumb|Burial of unidentified and unclaimed bodies on Hart Island, New York.]]
The Coronavirus Live Archive <ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnw9XCToAscVvvq7NbnK8rA/videos</ref> is a mysterious [[YouTube]] account with fewer than 8 thousand subscribers that published a series of short videos from within the Wuhan, China containment zone beginning January 24, 2020 - the day the CCP finally went public with news of the outbreak. 91 horrifying videos were uploaded over 37 days, roughly 2-3 per day, most under three minutes with many being less than 30 seconds. Only 10 clips ran longer than 3 minutes.

The 92nd and final installment was uploaded on March 16, 2020, fifteen days after the next to last installment. The video is a 1:42 in length screenshot of English language text entitled, ''Inconclusive List Of Suggestions For U.S. Residents''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyIRW8M0B0w</ref> Below is a verbatim transcription.

:''My predictions are based: 1. How the virus progressed in Wuhan, despite the differences and government. 2. My best knowledge of America's healthcare system and federal government.

:''1. The virus will not be contained unless there's [[martial law]] (military dictatorship). Minority and poor communities will be screwed just like during [[Hurricane Katrina|Katrina]]. Community leaders now must come together and form a coherent voice on the national stage to prevent that.

:''2. On a personal level you want to be with your family, now. If you live apart from your family, you want to try to go home. When you arrive quarantine yourself in a well-ventilated room for 14 days. Your family members should also cut off all social interaction.

:''3. Hospitals will run out of protective gear. Medical staff from other hospitals will run out of protective gear. Medical staff from other depts will be reassigned to treat co-vid patients. If you have family or friends who work in a hospital, Tell them not to come home and arrange other housing. (Ideally the gov does this)

:''4. Low ball prediction of 40% infected population is 120 mil 120 * 20%=24 mil will need beds. U.S. has only 940,000 beds including for patients of other illnesses. If fed gov continues to do nothing, this will not be a crisis but an existential cataclysm.

:''5. You want to stock on your drug prescriptions. Call your doctor and fill your prescriptions in an uncrowded pharmacy. You also want plenty of other first-aid supplies.

:''6. If you are made to work and interface with many people. When you come home you should be completely isolated from your family. I know this is difficult but it's necessary.

:''7. Get a gun (guns) and coalesce a community around you, be it friends, family, colleagues, the more people the better. Make sure you can get to them and vice versa easily. Don't stray far from them.

:''8. If you are able bodied and have the means, communicate to your neighbor that you are willing to assist them. Volunteer if you can. 80% of why Wuhan overcame the outbreak is civilian and volunteer groups. You are as good bad as this plague will get.

:''Again. Wuhan, pop. 11 million, went from 1-100,000 patients in 40 days from Dec to Jan 23rd. The U.S. did nothing from Jan 23rd to Mar 12, 50 days. It's not just one city, but all 50 states. Remember, just Wuhan under siege drained China's entire protective gear supply chain.

:''You cannot underestimate the magnitude of what's about to come.

Whether the Coronavirus Live Archive uploads were accomplished by a lone dissenter or dissenters, or part of a Chinese Communist Party propaganda offensive and effort (Psyop) to interfere in the U.S. [[2020 Presidential election]] is undetermined.

In early April President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act against the [[3M]] corporation when it was discovered 3M was selling face masks and [[PPE]]'s to foreign entities and countries and not prioritizing American demand for vital medical supplies during the national emergency.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwxEYY7K-Jw</ref> 3M was making 10 million masks per week and denying sales to American emergency responders while exporting its product. Over 7,000 deaths had occurred in the United States by that point and American healthcare workers had limited personal protection equipment to treat patients.

===Border control===
Since the coronavirus outbreak in China was reported, 328 [[illegal immigrant]]s from China were nabbed jumping the U.S.-Mexico border as of early March 2020. Three other people from South Korea — another country with rapidly spreading cases — have also been arrested at the border, as have 122 people from the [[Dominican Republic]], where the coronavirus has now been detected.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/mar/4/dhs-links-coronavirus-border-328-chinese-illegals-/</ref><ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/328-chinese-nationals-caught-trying-to-illegally-enter-u-s-at-southern-border/</ref> An overwhelming majority of the American people supported the President's decision to limit immigration.<ref>[https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/disease/most_favor_trump_s_halt_to_immigration_to_help_u_s_workers_democrats_don_t Most Favor Trump’s Halt to Immigration to Help U.S. Workers; Democrats Don’t], Rasmussen Reports, April 24, 2020.</ref>

When [[Joseph Biden]] occupied the [[Oval Office]], his first action was to [[open borders|open the borders]] to [[COVID]]-infected illegal migrants.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/biden-sparks-new-immigration-surge-many-with-covid</ref>

===Economic impact===
Publicly traded companies in [[America]] and abroad lowered earning estimates due to the impact of the coronavirus.<ref>https://www.engadget.com/2020/02/13/nvidia-cuts-outlook-coronavirus/</ref>

====Medicare====
''Accounting Weekly'' reported that when a [[hospital]] has a COVID-19 admission covered by [[Medicare]], the hospital gets paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, the hospital gets paid $39,000.<ref>https://accountingweekly.com/us-hospitals-getting-paid-to-list-patients-as-covid-19/</ref> These incentives impact decisions by the hospital. If a Medicare patient is diagnosed with simple non-COVID pneumonia, the hospital would receive a one-time Medicare lump-sum payout of $4600. However, if the patient is diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia, the Medicare coverage is a one-time $13,000 payment. The incentive is to diagnose as many people as possible with COVID-19, especially those with light symptoms making it easy to move them out of the hospital quickly, and to put as many COVID patients as possible on ventilators for as short a time as possible.

In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely (e.g. the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as 'probable' or 'presumed.' Under the CDC guidelines for example, a patient who died after being hit by a bus and tested positive for coronavirus would be listed as having presumed to have died from the virus.<ref>https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/04/12/state-senator-and-doctor-exposes-medicare-payouts-for-covid-19-patients/</ref>

New York ER doctor, Cameron Kyle-Sidell, has made public statements about the misuse of ventilators with supposed COVID-19 patients. He's stated that some of these patients actually have functioning lungs. Their immediate and dire life-threatening situation is straight oxygen deficit, as if they have high-altitude sickness. But pressure on the lungs, applied by the use of ventilators via standard rigid protocols, he says, can cause damage, and even death.

====Supply chains====
[[File:49666158142 b165838569 k.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Stress related to the spread of the virus has led to panic-buying across the United States, as major grocery retailers had their shelves largely emptied of basic necessities, such as this Kroger in Columbus, Ohio, March 2020 ''(cr. Dan Keck)''.]]
President Donald Trump said that the coronavirus outbreak highlighted the importance of bringing back to the United States previously offshore supply chains for medicine and gear that are needed to fight the spread of the outbreak. Steps have already taken to mitigate the risk to public health because of the country's reliance on other countries for key medication and equipment. The outbreak showed the importance of bringing manufacturing back to America so that we can produce at home the medicines and equipment and everything needed to protect the public's health.

Rosemary Gibson, senior advisor at the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute, said that the reliance on foreign countries for life-saving
medicines made the United States vulnerable. Gibson provided details of the depletion of America's pharmaceutical industrial base. The US can no longer make [[penicillin]]; the last U.S. penicillin fermentation plant closed in 2004. Industry data reveal Chinese companies formed a [[cartel]] and [[collude]]d to sell the product on the global market a below market price and drove all US, European, and Indian producers out of business. Once they gained the dominant global market share, prices increased.

America's pharmaceutical supply chain is a devastating indictment of pre-Trump [[national security]] and public health policy. A nation heavily reliant on vital medicines and their ingredients from an increasingly hostile and secretive China is a devastating indictment of pre-Trump national security and public health policy.

=====Shortages=====
[[File:Wuhan masks.PNG|right|150px|thumb|Although masks are in short supply, a person can be arrested in China for not wearing a mask in public.]]
A critical shortage of masks occurred within the first month. American hospitals were overly dependent on Chinese made medical supplies. Hospitals in the US were already having to ration their inventory amid one of the worst flu seasons in decades. Masks were only available in departments such as intensive care units, divisions involved with infection, prevention and emergency departments in some hospitals.

White House Manufacturing and Trade Advisor Peter Navarro advocated for a return to U.S. production of medical products as a matter of [[national security]]. In his first three years President Trump positioned the U.S. to withstand supply chain disruption better than most countries. Starting from a position that the U.S. was too dependent on Chinese products, Trump pressured companies to return to the U.S. or find alternate suppliers outside China. During the two-year tariff battle many companies did exactly that. As a result, those companies are less dependent on Chinese component goods. A proactive position is now helping many U.S. companies avoid the China economic meltdown.

Procter & Gamble warned that the company's 17,600 products use 9,000 materials that come from 387 factories / suppliers across China, and that all of them may be disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.<ref>https://www.cips.org/en/supply-management/news/2020/february/pg-warns-17600-products-possibly-hit-by-coronavirus/</ref>

=====Decoupling=====
Decoupling refers to restricting and terminating certain trade relationships with the Chinese Communist Party. Decoupling however, is not limited merely to commerce. It will affect student exchange programs as students from China are hand selected by the Chinese Communist Party and expected to serve the party upon graduation without becoming infected with ideas such as [[democracy]], [[justice]], and [[religion]] while in the United States. American students studying in China likewise are targeted for compromise, blackmail, and ideological subversion.

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board oversees the Thrift Savings Plan, a retirement fund for federal employees and members of the uniformed military services, with about $600 billion in assets. Money is withheld from federal employees and the military's paychecks to contribute to the fund. Approximately 11% is invested in Chinese companies, some of which produce weapons designed to kill members of the U.S. military.<ref>https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-orders-federal-retirement-money-invested-in-chinese-equities-to-be-pulled</ref> The government of China even prior to the CCP virus outbreak was in violation of U.S. sanctions law and engaged in humanitarian and human rights abuse.

=====CFIUS=====
In 2013 the [[Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States]] (CFIUS) approved the sale of Smithfield Foods, the world's largest [[pork]] processor and hog producer with $15 billion annual revenues,<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-smithfield-foods-idUSKCN1NL2BZ</ref> to WH Group (Wànzhōu Guójì group) of China.

A 2017 paper written by the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental outreach group described how technological progress fits into China's long-term strategic plans. The paper notes in particular increased Chinese foreign investment in several areas of importance to U.S. national security: [[artificial intelligence]]; [[robotic]]s, and augmented and [[virtual reality]], a key part of the military's plans for future training. The paper also mentions financial technology. It also outlines 16 “Manhattan projects” in aircraft design, quantum computing, neuroscience, and other fields in which China is aggressively investing as a nation state.

The paper says CFIUS changes and other legal remedies. could be helpful, but it says more actions are needed, including better funding for basic science and research and immigration policies to help people with tech skills legally immigrate to the United States.

The first step, the authors say, is to conduct a compressive analysis about exactly what sensitive technologies might evolve the fastest; which ones are the most important to U.S. national security; and which ones can be influenced by economic policy, direct, government-led investment, private sector investment or other forms of influence. “It would be foolhardy to say “we need to protect all of U.S. technology.” Instead, we need to understand the technologies that are most critical for national security and then think through how we protect those. As an example, there's no question AI will be a dual-use and critical technology but we need to think about whether we want to protect the algorithms, the data sets or something else. Whatever we decide to protect we must do in concert with allies so that our actions are not protectionist and penalize our own development more than they prevent a technology from falling into adversary's hands,” said Michael Brown, one of the paper’s authors.

“The Chinese government benefits from its State control to direct combined resources of business, government and academia. China pulls all of these sectors together to make significant advances in science and technology. Since we’re in a technology race with China, the U.S. needs to be much more proactive in both making a larger investment in science and technology as well as calling for ‘moonshots’ to bring together business, government and academia to achieve specified national innovation priorities.” said Brown. “The real answer here is we have to make a much bigger investment. One of the things we could do is set some national innovation priorities…we’ve got to recognize that one of our adversaries is doing that frequently.”

The budget for military research and development is up about 18 percent under Trump, but funding for basic science and research in other areas is flat. Massive and growing budget deficits portend a dim future for robust research and development spending.

Most important, say the authors, restrictions on trade have to be coordinated with other allies if they are to have the right effect.

“I believe there’s room to clarify what our policy is relative to China. For years, we’ve been focused on [[free trade]] and [[investment]]; now as China becomes a peer competitor not just economically but technologically, we need all Americans to understand the potential negative consequences of China’s ([[mercantilist]]) unfair trade practices as well as the scale of [[IP theft]] underway,” said Brown. “Example, when you raise tariffs on steel and aluminum and you aren’t doing that it concert with allies” your tariffs are unlikely to have the desired effect.

The Trump administration and lawmakers are pushing ahead with measures to decrease, or in some cases, bar Chinese investment in U.S. technology. The administration is considering using the obscure 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

“The administration’s efforts to beef up the CFIUS process to make sure that we’re protecting our US intellectual properties — a lot of that in the past has migrated offshore through both legal and nefarious means – whatever we can do to help protect that, also it’s good for the industry in the U.S. It’s an important part of the Administration’s program set,” said Dale Ormond, the principal director of research in the office of the assistant defense secretary for research and engineering,<ref>https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2018/04/pentagon-paper-explains-why-trump-administration-reining-tech-trade-china/147258/</ref>

[[File:Biden WuFlu.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Democrat presidential nominee [[Joe Biden]] takes to the airwaves to counter official White House/CDC press briefings. Biden and Trump critics alleged President Trump does not heed the advice of scientists and experts.]]
{{quotebox-float|California this week declared its independence from the federal government’s feeble efforts to fight Covid-19 — and perhaps from a bit more. The consequences for the fight against the pandemic are almost certainly positive. The implications for the brewing civil war between Trumpism and America’s budding 21st-century majority, embodied by California’s multiracial liberal electorate, are less clear.

Speaking on [[MSNBC]], Governor [[Gavin Newsom]] said that he would use the bulk purchasing power of [[California]] “as a nation-state” to acquire the hospital supplies that the federal government has failed to provide. If all goes according to plan, Newsom said, California might even “export some of those supplies to states in need.”

“[[Nation-state]].” “Export.”

Newsom is accomplishing a few things here, with what can only be a deliberate lack of subtlety....

California, an economic behemoth whose taxpayers account for 15% of individual contributions to the [[U.S. Treasury]], is now toning up at muscle beach.

What that means, of course, is left to the imagination. But not much is required to envision what might evolve.

Newsom, a former lieutenant governor who won the top job in 2018, has used the “nation-state” phrase before. It’s a very odd thing to say. ...

[[Federalism]] has always had rough spots, but conflict is rising and resolutions are not. California is a sanctuary state while the Trump administration is fond of immigration dragnets....

From Fort Sumter to Little Rock to Montgomery, the blueprint for states opposing federal control has a recurring theme. But there is no reason that states can’t adopt a [[racist]] playbook for other ends. If California and other 21st-century polities withhold [[revenue]], or otherwise distance themselves from Washington’s control, legal and political battles will escalate. ...

[[John C. Calhoun]], who used the theory of [[states' rights]] to defend the institution of [[slavery]], is not generally a philosophical lodestar...Calhoun’s theory of nullification, which posited that states have the power to defy federal law, could be ripe for a comeback on the left coast....<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-09/california-declares-independence-from-trump-s-coronavirus-plans</ref>}}
Overspending blue states sought a federal bailout for loss of [[revenue]] during lockdowns.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/pelosi-proposes-massive-state-bailout-in-next-spending-measure</ref> A federal bailout protects their prior overspending.

Mail-in ballots is another the goal. This strategy ties in with the Blue state governors destroying their economy, holding shut their regional economies, and not worrying about any election outcome. For example, sending two ballots to democrats, and one to registered republicans is one method. Controlling the mail carrying system is another. Selecting ballots for counting based on zip code political registration is yet another still. [[Ballot harvesting]] continues the overall process. The list of ways to manipulate voter mail-in election outcomes is infinitesimal. Full control over the mail-in ballots provides Democrat governors the security they need for the 2020 election.

We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory…… The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market.”''<ref>http://archive.is/ATNpb</ref>

*21 March - Report: China Stopped Testing for COVID-19. That's Why There Are Zero New Cases.<ref name="pjmedia.com"/><ref>The respected Kyodo news agency of [[Japan]] reported [Google translate]:"Japanese media Kyodo News quoted Wuhan doctors as saying that authorities had suspended some tests, official figures were unreliable, and a second wave of outbreaks appeared at any time.

The Mainland has always touted Xi Jinping as "deploying and directing in person" before the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, China is under control; the picture shows a Beijing interview on a big screen in Beijing. The "down payment" looks all over Beijing, and it is ironic. Profile picture
The doctor quoted by Kyodo News Agency said that the Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping had visited Wuhan earlier, and the number of local diagnoses of Wuhan pneumonia was officially "manipulated." Many symptomatic patients were suddenly released without isolation for less than 14 days, as a sign of "Xi Jinping's government successfully repelled the epidemic." The doctor also pointed out that the method of detecting patients with fever and other symptoms has been simplified, and it is not allowed to continue using blood tests to check whether the patients are completely cured. Therefore, "a large number of suspected patients return to society without completing treatment." The doctor emphasized that "the government's records cannot be believed" and he was worried that another wave of outbreaks would occur. Another Wuhan doctor also tweeted that "the hospital also suspends the admission of patients and started a 14-day vacation." She said: "I have been emphasizing with people around me that if the seal is unblocked, it only means that you have to go to work, not any Other meanings. " 

The three largest Australian media outlets also reprinted an article by Jamie Seidel, "Is it credible to reduce the number of viruses in China? (Can China's shrinking virus numbers be trusted)> article, referring to Xi Jinping ’s close relative Chen Yixin, who was based in Wuhan in February, but Chen had no medical background at all. He only had the background of “comprehensive management of social order” and “propaganda reports and public opinion guidance”.

*13 May 2021 - Biosafety Expert Explains Why Fauci’s NIH ‘Gain-of-Function’ Testimony Was ‘Demonstrably False’.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/biosafety-expert-explains-why-fauci-140753796.html</ref>
:*Dr. Roger Ebright, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University and biosafety expert, is contesting NIH director Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Tuesday.
:*Fauci’s claim that “the NIH [National Institutes of Health] has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV]” is “demonstrably false.”
:*the research can be classified as gain-of-function under a number of different definitions, including those found in two pieces of Department of Health and Human Services guidance on the subject.
:*the work being conducted at the WIV, using NIH funds originally granted to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, “epitomizes” gain-of-function research under the definition HHS provided in its guidance, and is the exact kind of research that led the Obama administration to conclude that gain-of-function was too dangerous to continue domestically.
:*‘The Wuhan lab used NIH funding to construct novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and laboratory animals...This is high-risk research that creates new potential pandemic pathogens (i.e., potential pandemic pathogens that exist only in a lab, not in nature). This research matches — indeed epitomizes — the definition of ‘gain of function research of concern’ for which federal funding was ‘paused’ in 2014-2017.”
:*“Chimeric” coronaviruses refers to those that have been altered and enhanced by man, in this case in such a way as to make them more transmissible and dangerous to humans.
:*The paper drafted by WIV scientists [''Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus'', Zheng-Li Shi and others, November 30, 2017]. clearly states that the underlying research was funded by, among other entities, the National Institutes of Health. The NIH’s own database of grantees lists this research and confirms that over $660,000 was spent supporting it.
