Neocons Glom… Hillary

by on November 20, 2008 6

Jacob Heilbrunn, neocon spotter, has a fine piece in Huffington Post pointing out that the neocons, deprived of a host by McCain's demise, are, surprise, relaunching as Hillary Clintonites. Obama? No problem. The Weekly Standard has apparently been adoring Hillary. And of course there's Joe Lieberman extolling her. This isn't gall, this is "a sect that has some of the properties of a party."

    She did say of Iran:
    "we would be able to totally obliterate them"

    A genocidal statement, I think? But maybe it has attracted some fans.

    Carter and M & W & Finklestein have, after all, made an impact.

    Now, the musical chairs.

    No thanks to the Witty world.

    Please puncture this trial baloon

    by Jerimiah Haber

    The Washington Post and other media outlets suggest that the Obama transition team is considering Hillary Clinton Secretary of State. The Chicago Tribune reports that the Obama transition team will not confirm this.

    If Hillary became Secretary of State, it would be a disaster for the Palestinians, hence, for the Israelis.

    Let's be clear: Hillary Clinton is virtually a Jewish senator; ever since moving to New York she has kow-towed entirely to her Jewish constituency…….

    I believe the Neocons should be placed on the Attorney General's list of subversive organizations. You could make the case based solely on the fact that so many once styled themselves Communists, if recent actions, from stove-piped intelligence, forged Niger letters, Valerie Plame outing weren't enough by themselves. The fact that her linking of Saddam Hussein to Al Queda on the floor of the Congress is cited as a qualification is astounding. It is as if she were a "made" hit person, having dipped her hand in the victim's blood. The subsequent facts that make that out to be either mistaken or a crime don't matter?

    Most organized Jewry talk of wanting social justice and equality is an elaborate guise through which they can exert their colonial enterprise with the least amount of resistance and employ socialism to leverage State power into cleansing any counter-religious or competing interest interference. Of course, the resources that are extracted from the People to underwrite their brand of socialism are diverted to their own wars, interests, and pocket books.

    The Neocons were an experiment in not bothering to conceal their ambitions behind the socialist facade, and instead engage in a far more direct transfer of wealth. It didn’t work out so well as a long-term strategy, so now they are scrambling back to their socialist/Democratic Party cover, and simply getting back behind the tools from the past.

    Obama has fallen right into their trap by letting so many Zionists inside the tent, or he knew what was going on the whole time and simply wrote it off as the price of attaining power. He certainly doesn't seem interested in challenging them, given how he keeps appointing so many of them to run his administration.

    Deep in the back of Obama's mind is whatever historical truth he learned while sitting in his old mentor's pew for a score of years.

    Is he doing his best to manipulate the arch manipulators? Towards a better world?
