Hillary Must Lose

Miguel Castillo, Staff Writer

Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar, a corrupt politician and a constant flip-flopper who will do anything to get into, and stay, in office.

Clinton has a plethora of proven lies. For example, in a story by Michael Walsh titled “Hillary Clinton’s Million Little Lies,” Clinton claimed “we landed under sniper fire…we ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get into our base,” when talking about her trip to Bosnia. The CBS News report of the landing showed her walking out of the airplane to a greeting ceremony. There was no sniper fire when she visited two outposts in the area and no sniper fire at the base. The story is packed with other small lies like this one. Why make up a claim that makes you look better for a moment, but when anyone does a shred of research, they find you to be a compulsive liar?

Furthermore, we arrive at the Podesta emails. These WikiLeaks-released emails are from Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta— so if he knew about them, you can be sure she knew of them as well. One of these emails states “bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.” The campaign knows who is supporting ISIS, and yet it does nothing about it.

The Clinton Foundation is a nonprofit organization that accepts donations for charity. At first glance, nothing seems wrong with this. But when you look at who donates the most for this foundation, you find that the Qatar, Saudi, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and other foreign governments donate tens of millions of dollars to this foundation. This explains the fact that the campaign does nothing about the funding of ISIS because those nations are also funding the Clintons. Foreign donors and governments cannot participate in the American political process. But, by using the foundation, these foreign governments can donate money for political power in the US. While Clinton was Secretary of State more than half of all her private meetings were held with major donors of the Clinton Foundation. Only 5.7 percent of all Clinton Foundation grants went to charity.

Now let’s look at the media bias towards Clinton. Hillary seems to have incorporated the media into her campaign. She flies journalists with her on a private plane, and pampers them with food, drinks and other small luxuries. When she is questioned, she constantly compliments these reporters. You cannot expect these unethical journalists to be even vaguely adversarial to Clinton, even when their questions are pertinent. They just allow her to get away with her standardized, canned rhetoric without challenging it in any way. Additionally, Bill O’Reilly has accused at least three unnamed news organizations of having ordered their employees to destroy Trump. On a live broadcast he stated “but I am 100 percent convinced, and these media organizations have actually put out, ‘If you support Trump, your career is done done here.’”

The Democratic National Convention has also been accused of rigging the election system within its own party. Alan Schulkin, the Commissioner of the Board of Elections for New York City claims “[for] certain neighborhoods in particular, they [DNC] bus people around to vote… They [DNC] put them in a bus and go poll site to poll site.” This is all done in an effort to gain more votes for DNC candidates. While Alan’s claims are only allegations, there is evidence that the DNC deliberately sought to destroy Bernie Sanders’ campaign. In a recent WikiLeaks release of 20,000 emails from the DNC, staff members discussed how to deal with Bernie Sanders’ popularity as a challenge to Clinton’s candidacy. Instead of treating him as a viable candidate for the Democratic ticket, the DNC worked against him and his campaign to ensure Clinton received the nomination.

Hillary seems to be happy with rigging elections. When discussing elections in Palestinian territories, she stated “if we were gonna push for an election, then we should’ve made sure that we did something to determine who was gonna win it.” Clinton is okay with rigging foreign elections and completely disregarding democratic values.

Project Veritas Action investigated the Clinton campaign, the DNC and Democracy Partners in a recently released set of videos. PVA secretly filmed many top players, like Robert Creamer, the founder of Democracy Partners. Creamer stated, “In the end, it was the candidate, Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States, who wanted ducks on the ground.” He then said “don’t repeat that to anybody.” The “ducks on the ground” are in reference to protesters that invaded Trump rallies with Donald Duck signs who were used to incite violence at these rallies. PVA also filmed Scott Foval, who was hired by Democracy Partners to organize most of the violence at Trump rallies and to create the image that Trump incites violence and that his rallies are full of violent people.

With Hillary Clinton, all of the worst parts of the American political system come into alignment. She represents a single interest that foreign governments, large media organizations, and the Democratic political party are supporting. She is happy to rig elections in foreign countries, happy to incite violence at Trump rallies, and is happy to lie under oath. Hillary must lose this election.
