Clinton Nostalgia Revised

As the desperation reaches fever pitch in the Clinton campaign demonstrated by Hillary’s schizophrenic public relations style, it would be wise for the American people to take an honest look at the Clinton history. While Hillary Clinton travels through states like Ohio where manufacturing jobs have disappeared by the hundreds of thousands, she expresses outrage regarding the legacy of the NAFTA Agreement. At the same time, few private citizens have benefited more from the NAFTA/Fast Track legislation than the Clinton’s themselves. In 1991, prior to the Clinton presidency, Sam Walton had exactly one store in Mexico. By 1998, Walmart was the largest private employer not only in the United States, but also in Mexico. As a member of the Board of Directors of Walmart, Hillary Clinton enjoyed a rather substantial increase in the value of her stock options.

The Clinton’s have never been interested in human rights, civil rights, or The Bill of Rights, they are however quite fascinated with wealth and power. Prior to his presidency, Bill Clinton operated only on the fringes of the ruling class. He needed the presidency solely as an entry on his resume to qualify him for membership in this elite club. During his presidency, Bill Clinton, in order to function as president, was forced to create alliances with many prominent Republicans along with members of the Foreign Relations Committee, which was comprised of multi-millionaire entrepreneurs rather than public servants. These affiliations did not end with his term in office. Clinton has been a close ally of the Carlyle Group, George H.W. Bush’s old boy network, and has brokered many international transactions for which he has been compensated quite handsomely.

In the 1990's, Americans also endured the greatest economic scam since the Fisk and Gould Gold Rush on Black Friday in 1869. A small inner circle of investors who had access to immeasurable sums of public money initiated a game of high stakes hot potato. It began when several respectable brokerage houses fabricated a rush on stocks, which they knew to be worthless, for the purpose of resale, often on the same day, for substantial profit. Based upon individual records of high returns recorded by these firms in the past, many other investors raced for a chance to get into the game. This cycle of buying and selling lasted for nearly the entire decade. When the smoke cleared and the mirrors collapsed, the companies originally offering the shares were found to have, not only no profits to report but most, had never recorded revenues at all. When the trump was finally played, the highest bidder was left holding the empty bag. To this day, all Americans continue to repay those gambling debts.

Americans must remember that in the early 1990’s, during the clandestine Algonquin Conferences, a consortium of power brokers met to discuss a strategy for what we now refer to as globalization. While this self-proclaimed governing body of the global economy discussed turf assignment, benefits and ramifications, and profit potential of the spread of multinational corporations, Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney sat at the same table. This was not a debate, it was an agreement. The Clinton’s are campaigning vigorously to keep that ball rolling. Their campaign is not about change, it’s about dollars.

The fact is, the Clinton’s are not the least bit interested in the will of the people or the future of America. They simply want to keep their box seats at the Opera. The neo-cons have already stated that they want to face Hillary Clinton in the general election not because they can beat her but because if the Clinton’s win, they win too.
