AMERICA’S FINAL DAYS:
The Global Looting of Bill & Hillary
Clinton – unconvicted.
When asked to compare Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump, D'Souza
said no contest. "She is basically Obama plus gangsterism. The
Clintons are like Bonnie and Clyde. Their goal is to steal America.
In Hillary's America, D'Souza
documents how Democrats transitioned from pro-slavery to pro-enslavement; the
longstanding Democratic political war against women; how Hillary Clinton's
political mentor was, literally, a cold-blooded gangster, Saul Alinsky; how the
Clintons and other Democrats see foreign policy not in terms of national
interest, but in terms of personal profit; and how Democratic-controlled cities
have turned into hotbeds of crime and corruption. American Thinker
interviewed him about his latest projects
OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS:
"The confrontation in North Carolina’s largest
city is another expression of the seething
social tensions in America, driven by an
economic crisis that has produced record
levels of long-term unemployment, poverty
and social need, while real wages remain
below the level of a decade ago, before the
2008 Wall Street crash."
HILLARY CLINTON: Closet Republican
and Openly a LA RAZA SUPREMACIST agent for Mexico!
"The same period has seen a massive growth of social
inequality, with income and wealth concentrated at the very top of American
society to an extent not seen since the 1920s."
"He
(Trump) is able to get a hearing because millions of people are being
driven into economic insecurity and poverty while the rich and
the super-rich continue to amass obscene levels
of wealth. He is able with some success to divert mass discontent
along reactionary nationalist and racialist channels precisely
because what passes for the “left” in American politics,
anchor by the Democratic
Party, has moved ever further to the right, culminating in the
Obama administration which has presided over endless war and
an unprecedented redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the
top of the economic ladder."

The police murder in Charlotte, North Carolina
22 September 2016
Hundreds of people took to the streets Tuesday night and again on Wednesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, to protest the latest horrific police killing in that city, and the 839th death at the hands of US policemen this year.
Large numbers of police were bused in Tuesday to seal off the neighborhood near the University of North Carolina-Charlotte after groups of protesters began to break windows of police cars, blocked traffic on Interstate 85 and broke into a Wal-Mart store. Police officers decked out in riot gear again confronted angry protesters Wednesday, firing tear gas. At least one person was shot on Wednesday night, with officials claiming he was not shot by police.

The spark in Charlotte was the shooting death of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, gunned down in broad daylight. Police arrived at the parking lot where Scott, a father of seven, was waiting to pick up his son at a school bus stop, looking for another man who had an outstanding warrant.
Witnesses say that Scott was holding a book when he got out of his car and was shot four times by the police. Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney claimed that Scott was armed with a handgun and refused repeated police orders to hand over the weapon. The police have so far refused to release body camera videos of the shooting, and no cellphone video has yet emerged to show what really happened.
From a legal standpoint, however, even the police version of events does not justify the use of deadly force. It is legal in North Carolina to carry a weapon openly, and if Scott had a gun, as police claim, they had no right to demand it without probable cause of a crime being committed.
The killing of Scott is only the latest in an unending stream
of horrors. Indeed, the shooting in Charlotte is the third
highly publicized police killing in the past week alone. First
came the killing of 13-year-old Tyre King in Columbus, Ohio
on September 13, followed by the killing of 45-year-old
Terrence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma on September 16, and
then Scott on September 20.

on September 13, followed by the killing of 45-year-old
Terrence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma on September 16, and
then Scott on September 20.
The fact that all three victims were African-American has been used to reinforce a racialized narrative of police violence as predominately one of white cops killing black men and boys out of ingrained white racism.
Whatever role racism may play in particular police killings, it is not the fundamental issue. Here, the circumstances behind the killing of Scott are revealing. The police shooter, Brentley Vinson, is African-American, as is the police chief, Kerr Putney. The mayor of Charlotte is a woman, Democrat Jennifer Roberts. The police officer in Tulsa, moreover, was a woman.
Of the 25 people shot to death by the
police in the past week, beginning with
Tyre King, at least half were white,
according to the grisly tally kept by
killedbypolice.net. Of the 702 people
shot to death by police this year,
according to a database maintained by
the Washington Post, 163 were black
men, about 23 percent of the total.
Whites made up roughly half the
victims, while Hispanics, Native
Americans, Asians, black women and
people of mixed race made up the
balance.

What nearly all the victims of police violence have in common is that they are part of the working class, and usually its poorest layers. Their deaths are a consequence of the basic social function of the police, as the armed bodies of men who defend the wealth and privileges of the financial aristocracy against the lower orders.
The Charlotte killing and disturbances have been followed
with the usual political homilies from government officials
and presidential candidates.
with the usual political homilies from government officials
and presidential candidates.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted that “the situations in Tulsa and Charlotte are tragic,” but he has consistently sided with the police in such situations while denouncing protests against police violence as tantamount to terrorism. He demanded an “immediate end” to the mass unrest in Charlotte.
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, issued a statement Tuesday calling the fatal shooting of Terrence Crutcher “unbearable” and “intolerable.” She added a tweet on Wednesday morning, “Keith Lamont Scott. Terence Crutcher. Too many others. This has got to end. -H.” Such professions of concern coming from an arch-warmonger and candidate of Wall Street are about as unconvincing and insincere as every other comment that comes out of Clinton’s mouth.
As for the Obama administration, in its final months it appears to have given up any effort to vary its responses to tragedies and horrors. Attorney General Loretta Lynch—who is African-American, like both the shooter and the victim in Charlotte—warned against protest that “turns violent” and repeated the standard mantra of the Obama administration, that the events in Charlotte “have once again highlighted—in the most vivid and painful terms—the real divisions that still persist in this nation between law enforcement and communities of color.”
Such statements are an insult to the intelligence, given that both the policeman and the man he shot were of the same “communities of color.”
The truth is that the shooting showed the river of blood that exists in American society, separating the ruling class from the vast majority of working people. That river runs right through so-called “communities of color,” separating the tiny privileged layer at the top, like President Obama and Attorney-General Lynch, from working-class men like Keith Scott and Terrence Crutcher.
