How Sausage Is Made

Politics is a dirty business and I don't suppose that it will ever change. Wikileaks has given the world a peek inside the Clinton me-me-me machine ... and it is depressing. The thousands of hacked Democrat e-mails that Assange and company have shown the world have revealed just how this political sausage is, in fact, made ... and it's not pretty. We have seen much of the national media and the Democrat National Committee colluding with Hellary Clinton against  Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump ... all the while claiming their impartiality. Wikileaks has revealed how the Clinton crime family works to construct the image of a consummate candidate ... all ersatz, a Barnum and Bailey world ... We have been overwealmed by the stench that emanates from the Clinton Family Foundation, the Clinton Global Iniative and the Teneo Consulting Group ... all money laundering operations to funnel illegal foreign contributions and other payoffs into the Clinton political process.

It is not just Chelsea Clinton who has been using these front organizations as a honey pot ... it is the Clinton parents and just about the entire Clinton political organization who are sustained by this ill-gotten pelf ... not just their salaries, but their travel and a myriad of other expenses ... monies syphoned out of what is touted as a "charity" but is more to massage this group of leeches than it is for AIDs patients or Haitian earthquake victims. These organizations are the life blood of the Clinton crime family just like rum running, prostitution, gambling and extortion kept the Mafia alive for closing in on a century. The parallels are frightening ... and now we were faced with the Al Capone equivalent trying to recapture the White House.

Fortunately someone stepped in front of this column of Tiananmen tanks ... Donald Trump! Funny how things happen. Can we say a small prayer that another sausage factory is not now in the offing ...

Plastic Surgery

Chelsea Clinton has made the big time ... as she is now on the cover of Elle magazine ... see: Elle Magazine Story. Not only is this write-up an obvious puff piece ... trying to prepare her for some future political role for which her parents have ambitions ... but, to me, it sure looks like Bill and Hillary's daughter is more attractive than she has been in previous pics. Is this a bit of Photoshopping on Elle's part ... or has Chelsea had a few sessions with a plastic surgeon?

Which brings me to the real reason for this blog posting ... nothing is really what it is made to appear anymore. Almost everything is being media manipulated to look like something it really ain't. Viz:

- Senator Harry Reid's story about his facial injuries clearly does not fit the facts.

- The framework of an Iranian nuclear agreement is mostly smoke and mirrors ... as each side of this faux pact is describing it with totally different codicils.

- The brouhaha over Hillary Clinton's destroyed e-mails seems to have media partisans painting two entirely different landscapes.

- Senator Robert Menendez's corruption indictment is possibly justified ... but smells of the political swamp that is Washington.

- The Clinton Foundation is slowly being revealed as a ersatz eleemosynary institution created as a front for a Clinton super-PAC collecting illegal foreign money with the implicit promise of future influence in the White House.

- Even Olympic decathlon champion, Bruce Jenner, is slowly morphing into a woman ... an ugly one at that ... with the help of the nip and tuckers.

And there are many more examples than I can possibly mention here. Why has the American public gotten so jaundiced to these make-overs? Has television fakery, computer games, and movie special effects so blurred the line between reality and fantasy that standards of truth have totally disappeared?

To this blogger, it appears so ...

Treadmill to Oblivion

If Michelle Obama decides to run for the Senate from Illinois in 2016, she is already ahead in the polls and would likely win, see NBC Story … to serve under the two terms of President Hillary Clinton (2016-2024).  At which point she could then, in turn, run for the Presidency herself … and would likely win her decreed two terms (2024-2032).  Then to be followed by Chelsea Clinton (2032-2040) ... (why not, the Bush's did it) ... and then Malia Obama (2040-2048).

We would then clearly be on a treadmill to oblivion … and thank the Lord (or Allah) that I would no longer be around to suffer the consequences of our lapsing into such a succession of royalty
