Was Obama the “Very VIP” Combetta wanted to delete from Hillary’s private server?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

There is new evidence that maybe he was.

The old evidence is simply why would Hillary bother to delete her own address from mail on her own private server? Seriously, why bother? Conclusion: “Very VIP” was president Obama, not Hillary.

The new evidence is as follows:

On March 4, 2015, just hours after Hillary Clinton had been issued a subpoenaed by the Justice Department, John Podesta, the Chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, sent an e-mail to Cheryl Mills, a lawyer who works for the Clinton campaign:

From:john.podesta@gmail.com To: cheryl.mills@gmail.com Date: 2015–03–04 20:41 Subject: Special Category

Think we should hold emails to and from potus? That’s the heart of his exec privilege. We could get them to ask for that. They may not care, but I seems like they will. — https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/9545

The source for the above is here: Wikileaks Proves FBI Covered Up Hillary Clinton’s Private E-mail Server To Protect President Obama.

I recommend the whole article, which is not long. With Obama campaigning more actively than any sitting president in over 100 years, it is proper—indeed, mandatory—to ask if there was a “Very High-Level” coverup involving top players to keep the president’s part in Hillary’s “extreme carelessness” secret.

This would explain why Lynch and Bill Clinton met in the airplane like a couple of gang bosses, why Comey recommended no charges, and why the MSM avoids drilling into this question like it’s radioactive.

Is America finished?

Good essay, well-worth reading—After the Republic. An excerpt:

In today’s America, a network of executive, judicial, bureaucratic, and social kinship channels bypasses the sovereignty of citizens. Our imperial regime, already in force, works on a simple principle: the president and the cronies who populate these channels may do whatever they like so long as the bureaucracy obeys and one third plus one of the Senate protects him from impeachment. If you are on the right side of that network, you can make up the rules as you go along, ignore or violate any number of laws, obfuscate or commit perjury about what you are doing (in the unlikely case they put you under oath), and be certain of your peers’ support. These cronies’ shared social and intellectual identity stems from the uniform education they have received in the universities. Because disdain for ordinary Americans is this ruling class’s chief feature, its members can be equally certain that all will join in celebrating each, and in demonizing their respective opponents. (After the Republic)

I tend to agree with the author, Angelo Codevilla, that we are toast. Our inalienable rights are long gone and there is little chance they will return.

In their place, we have an “empire” with a deeply networked ruling class that hates ordinary Americans.

I doubt Trump will be able to stop the slide, but I know for certain that Hillary will accelerate it. And Trump might do something.

Codevilla again:

Because it is difficult to imagine a Trump presidency even thinking about something so monumental as replacing an entire ruling elite, much less leading his constituency to accomplishing it, electing Trump is unlikely to result in a forceful turn away from the country’s current direction. Continuing pretty much on the current trajectory under the same class will further fuel revolutionary sentiments in the land all by itself. Inevitable disappointment with Trump is sure to add to them.

We have stepped over the threshold of a revolution. It is difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate where it will end. Our ruling class’s malfeasance, combined with insult, brought it about. Donald Trump did not cause it and is by no means its ultimate manifestation. Regardless of who wins in 2016, this revolution’s sentiments will grow in volume and intensity, and are sure to empower politicians likely to make Americans nostalgic for Donald Trump’s moderation.

While Clinton tries to claim moral high ground, just behind the scenes a very different picture emerges among her top advisors: WikiLeaks Dump: Top Clinton Aides Slam Catholicism, Evangelical Christianity. Will she disavow?

As this news comes out, Obama is pretending to be all moral and presidential, outraged that Trump used the word “pussy” in a private conversation eleven years ago. But will he or has he disavowed his behavior in the video below where he is clearly acting in a very obscene unfit unpresidential manner? My apologies, but to see the point you do have to look at the president’s crotch.

Looks like full scale attack mode on Trump from GOP

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

They hit him as hard as they can from every side, but he’s still standing.

“GOP has instructed every Senator and Congressman to not defend Trump. Do not talk about him favorably. It’s a coup.” (Source)

Trump is not the corrupt GOP and he is not the corrupt DNC.

If he wins, he will be the first democratically elected president in many decades.

Edit 10/09: It appears that Billy Bush, Jeb’s cousin, made the tape of Trump and that its release was coordinated across the GOP-DNC elite and timed a day before the second debate.

Scott Adams Interview: Trump’s Tactics and Hillary’s Persuasion Game

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Adams sees Trump as fundamentally a skilled persuader. In this interview, he explains this concept well. Adams also sees the New Yorker in Trump and mentions how this affects the way he speaks.

What Adams says about persuasion is probably largely true. But it is a truth that belongs in a world characterized by bad communication.

In the public sphere, there are no options to the world Adams describes.

In the private sphere of interpersonal communication, there are.

Unfortunately, most people use only the techniques of the public sphere in the private sphere.

They do this because they do not know any other techniques. FIML is a technique that allows for much better communication in the private sphere.

Using special techniques to persuade is the opposite of what FIML does.

FIML seeks to remove all artifice and assumption from close interpersonal communication. By doing this, FIML also removes them from the individual psychologies of FIML partners.

After doing FIML for some time, I no longer see individual psychology as a sum of traits and signs that can be studied or understood as if they were actual entities, actual ghosts or ghost-like sub-beings that have minds of their own and perdure over time. I don’t use signs to tell what my partner thinks or feels, or not very many save the straightforward ones.

Individuals are semiotic beings that respond deeply to communication signals, especially signals coming from people. In the public sphere, in the world Adams describes, we never know what anything means unless we have successfully persuaded someone. But then what does that mean?

And even if we have persuaded them, maybe they have really persuaded us but we don’t know it.

You don’t want to live like that with your best friend. With FIML you can put it all out there and figure it all out and all of that can be done at your own pace.

If you are using public-sphere communication techniques on your best friend (you are), you are actually allowing yourselves to be pulled apart by the public sphere. You are allowing yourselves to be absorbed by the public sphere, dissolved by it, destroyed by it.

FIML is a method that helps partners gain enormous control of their communication. Perfectly open, honest, and with no tricks.

FBI agents are ready to revolt over the cozy Clinton probe

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…agents say Comey tied investigators’ hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.

“In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews,” said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBI’s computer-investigations unit.

Instead of going to prosecutors and insisting on using grand jury leverage to compel testimony and seize evidence, Comey allowed immunity for several key witnesses, including potential targets. (FBI agents are ready to revolt over the cozy Clinton probe)

How to avoid immigration, terrorism and health care for 90 minutes

Good read by Ann Coulter. Here’s a section.

The media’s excitement over Hillary successfully “baiting” Trump is revealing — of the media, of what this election is really about, and of what Trump needs to do now.

The definition of Trump “taking the bait” was getting him to talk about himself, not about issues. This from a media that claim to be aching for “policy specifics.”

Hillary — with assists from the moderator — “baited” Trump on how rich he is, the loan from his father, a lawsuit in 1972, the birther claims, who he said what to about the Iraq War from 2001 to 2003, and so on.

For the media, their gal was winning whenever precious minutes of a 90-minute debate were spent rehashing allegations about Trump. Ha ha! We prevented Trump from talking about issues that matter to the American people! That was scored as a “win.”

Nothing illustrates more clearly that this election is about the people versus the elites than the fact that the media run from Trump’s issues like Dracula from the sun.

Trump wins whenever he talks about issues; he loses whenever he talks about himself. (How to avoid immigration, terrorism and health care for 90 minutes)
