How President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aided Russia’s quest for global nuclear dominance.
THE SHADY POLITICS OF HILLARY CLINTON and her PAY-TO-PLAY MAFIA
The left cared nothing about that bit of collusion.
Hillary and her campaign aides have long been involved with Russia for reasons of personal gain. Clinton herself got $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation for allowing Russia to take over twenty percent of all uranium production in the U.S. Her campaign chairman, John Podesta, is reaping the financial benefits of being on the board of a Russian company, Joule, which he did not disclose.

Had Hillary been elected, the Clinton Foundation would be raking in even more millions than it did before. She would be happily selling access, favors and our remaining freedoms out from under us. PATRICIA McCARTHY
Anybody notice how often Joe Biden has empowered Putin?
Vladimir Putin of Russia, battered and diminished by the Trump years, is now in the catbird seat.
Joe Biden is the reason why. In the midst of his incompetence, bad judgment, and quite possibly corrupt tradeoffs, he's enacted a string of bad decisions to empower the Russian autocrat. Quite unlike President Trump, who was accused by a mendacious and maddened left of being 'Putin's puppet,' Joe Biden is the real thing. Which is pretty ironic, really: For a man who wrote the gushing book blurb to the most negative portrayal of Putin I've ever read, Fiona Hill's "Mr. Putin," which I wrote about here, Biden's decisions to empower Putin are very strange indeed. We often talk about China as being empowered and emboldened by Biden, but the less-noted Putin empowerment from Biden is clearly stronger.
Biden's latest is a jaw-dropper: In the wake of his disastrous pullout from Afghanistan, he's now begging Putin for access to Russian bases from which to surveil for terror activity.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, raised the subject at the request of President Biden’s National Security Council staff in his meeting last Wednesday with Russian Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov, the U.S. officials said.
Gen. Gerasimov was noncommittal during the Helsinki meeting, the U.S. officials said. A Kremlin spokesman declined to comment.
The previously unreported exchange comes as the Biden administration is searching for ways to strengthen its capability to monitor and respond to potential terrorist dangers in Afghanistan now that U.S. forces have left the country.
So he threw away our Bagram Airfield base in Afghanistan, abandoning it in the dead of night without even telling the allies, let alone the Afghan army, forcing the U.S. to conduct its last dangerous evacuations from Kabul airport, which led to 13 dead service members in a terror attack. Now he notices that the U.S. doesn't know anything about Afghanistan anymore, even as the entire alphabet soup of terrorist organizations --ISIS, ISIS-K, al Qaida, Lashkar -e- Toiba, Taliban Pakistan, Haqqani Network, the whole ugly lot plus likely more as "foreign fighters" --- roll in with the Taliban takeover and consolidation of power. He hasn't been able to get the permission of the Central Asian states, such as Kazakhstan or Tajikistan to cooperate. Most of them take their marching orders from their old colonial master back in Moscow. Now the plan is to persuade Putin to allow U.S. troops to surveil from Russia. Apparently there was no planning at all, and now the Bidenites are seeking help on the fly.
Anybody want to take a gander about what kind of deal Putin will drive for any access for U.S. troops or intelligence personnel to operate on Russian territory? It's come to that -- play on Putin's terms for base access and know what the Taliban and its terrorist buddies are doing, or else no base access and wait and find out.
The Journal notes that Biden's pathetic call to help from Putin comes as the U.S. has Russia under considerable sanctions for its Ukraine invasion, sanctions that bother the Russian oligarchs, but the country has not budged on.
While the U.S. and Russia share concerns about the threat of terrorism, the idea of working with Russia on counterterrorism is fraught with challenges, particularly politically. Congress enacted legislation several years ago that precludes close cooperation between the U.S. and Russia militaries as long as Russian troops are in Ukraine, unless the secretary of defense issues a special waiver.
If surveilling Afghanistan from afar instead of in-country is that important, the U.S. will likely have no choice but to bend to Putin's terms and drop sanctions. A waiver is a joke, and it's very likely that Putin won't stand for it. Once the sanctions are off, Biden needs to assume that Putin keeps his agreement and does not change his mind. Checkmate, Plugs.
It's just as bad on the energy front. While President Trump had Putin on the ropes with his policy to promote domestic energy production and U.S. energy self-sufficiency. Biden has shut down domestic production and driven even the U.S. toward energy imports from petrotyrants. He killed the Keystone XL pipeline for America, while giving the green light to Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany. That's apparent good news for Germany, but even better news for Russia. Our close allies in Europe shut their own coal, natural gas, fracking, oil and nuclear industries down, only to find themselves freezing cold and out of energy. They can now either freeze and go without crops (which require fossil-fuel derived fertilizer) or they can embrace the Russian bear and all its abundant oil and natural gas production, with that very handy Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The Wall Street Journal's Allysia Finley reports that Putin is already feeling his oats on that pipeline empowerment from Biden:
Russia is exploiting Europe’s energy difficulties by reducing gas deliveries, perhaps to pressure Germany to complete certification of its Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which bypasses Ukraine. Russia’s Gazprom has booked only a third of the available transportation capacity through its Yamal pipeline for October and no additional deliveries via its Ukraine pipeline. Europe has become ever more dependent on Russia—the world’s second largest gas producer, after the U.S.—for energy because the U.K. and Germany have banned hydraulic fracturing, letting their rich gas shale resources go to waste.
Way to go, Joe. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline isn't even up and running yet, and already Putin is slipping into his petrotyrant mode, forcing Europe to deal with him on Russia's terms.
How else has Joe Biden empowered Putin?
Well, don't forget the hacker target list. Joe Biden gave Putin at a recent summit a 'please don't throw me in the briar patch' list of targets he really, really, really doesn't want Russia's state-linked hackers to hit.
That's convenient for them. Now they know where they can do the most harm. I wrote about that here.
Lastly, Biden's electoral fraud and his unwillingness to admit any possibility of fraud, despite a mountain of evidence, has been a bonanza for Putin, too. Halting ballot counts in the middle of the night, shifting their trending direction, ending ballot security, killing off observer transparency, and a whole host of other shenanigans are now 'legal' across the world now that Biden has engaged in them, denying any possibility of fraud and demonizing those who ask or audit. That's the standard now, and Putin in his country's recent parliamentary elections, has run with it. It doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes, to paraphrase what Stalin reportedly said, bringing the matter curiously full circle.
Most of these empowerment moves to Putin can be chalked up to Joe Biden's incompetence, Joe being a man who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," as Bob Gates put it. He's a mediocrity, a plagiarist, a bumbler, of diminished capacity now, and incompetence has been a way of life for him.
But there's also a pattern here and the pattern goes in just one direction, against America's interests and for Putin's. Might that be a part of a plan? Sure, it's a conspiracy theory to say so, but there are a hell of a lot of Soviet Union and communist China admirers in his administration, such as Comptroller of the Currency nominee Saule Omarova who nakedly admires Soviet banking as superior to that of the U.S. and of course the Mao-admiring Anita Dunn, who's a power-couple with her husband, a Perkins Coie member affiliated with Biden campaign shenanigans. Views like theirs are pretty extremist to the point of rarity, but Biden's somehow found these people and pulled them close to power.
Stronger still, there's Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, in which a $3 million payment from a mayor of Moscow's widow, whose late husband was an ally of Putin's close enough that Putin spoke at his funeral. Anybody ask any questions yet about that that $3 million payment was for?
The Biden family's Ukraine dealings are worth thinking about too. They have many angles, but suffice to say, many of the characters involved were Putin puppets and stooges with a lot of energy-linked cash in Ukraine, rather than independent and freedom-loving Ukrainians.
There are a lot of unanswered questions as to whether this was by incompetence or design.
What is very certain, though, is that Biden is the best friend Vladimir Putin ever had. He's like a playground checkers player thrown out onto the pro-chess field with an odor of corruption on the side, and for Putin, it's an easy match for him.

WILL GRIFTER, CHARITY FOUNDATION HUCKSTER AND SOCIOPATH LAWYER HILLARY CLINTON MURDER JULIAN ASSANGE?
SHE WANTS HIM DEAD! HIS PROXIMITY TO THE TRUTH THAT COULD PUT CLINTON IN PRISON IS A SERIOUS THREAT.
“If the Constitution did not forbid cruel and unusual punishment, the sentence I would like to see imposed would place both Bill and Hillary Clinton in the same 8-by-12 cell.” ROBERT ARVAY – AMERICAN THINKER com
Obama’s Democratic Party administration launched a furious salvo of denunciations, with then Vice President Joe Biden calling Assange a “high-tech terrorist” and Hilary Clinton reportedly asking, “Can’t we just drone this guy?” This opened the floodgates to a torrent of demands from Republicans and the right-wing media for his assassination.
HILLARY CLINTON: The woman who fought Barack Obama to be America's first dictator.
In the days of the Cold War, the narrative of the arch-reactionaries and anticommunists revolved around a conspiracy theory according to which the United States had been infiltrated at the highest levels by agents of the Soviet Union.
In the early 1950s, Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy led the anti-Soviet campaign, alleging that Russian spies occupied top positions in the government, in universities, in Hollywood and even in the military. According to McCarthy, “a conspiracy so immense and an infamy so black as to dwarf any previous venture in the history of man” implicated not only the Soviet Union but was also responsible for the “loss of China” in the 1949 Chinese Revolution.
The “Red Menace” was the pretext for attacking and delegitimizing all manifestations of social and political opposition, including the Civil Rights movement, as the work of “outside agitators” who received their orders from Moscow. It was Martin Dies, the Democratic congressman from Texas and initiator of the witch-hunting House Un-American Activities Committee, who declared in his 1940 book The Trojan Horse in America that Moscow had “envisioned an unusual opportunity to create racial hatred between the white and Negro citizens of the United States.”
In the late 1950s, after the heyday of McCarthy, the political thread was taken up by the John Birch Society, founded in 1958 by Massachusetts businessman Robert Welch, who notoriously declared that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a “dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy.”
In 1964, Welch backed the ultra-right Republican candidate Barry Goldwater, whose failed presidential campaign was heavily influenced by John Stormer’s book None Dare Call It Treason. “Will America continue to aid the communist enemy,” Stormer asked, “to disarm in the face of danger, to bow before communist dictators in every corner of the earth? The decision is yours.”
Nothing is dead in politics. The legacy of McCarthyism is now being revived by the campaign led by the Democratic Party and summed up in a hysterical screed published Wednesday in the Washington Post by Hillary Clinton, the self-professed former “Goldwater girl,” under the headline, “Mueller documented a serious crime against all Americans. Here’s how to respond.”
According to Clinton, “Our election was corrupted, our democracy assaulted, our sovereignty and security violated. This is the definitive conclusion of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report.” The perpetrator again is Russia, which Clinton, citing the Mueller report, claims has carried out a “sweeping and systematic” attack on the United States.
The Clinton narrative, which is the official line of the Democratic Party, is a monumental lie. Responsibility for Clinton’s defeat in the 2016 elections is attributed entirely to the operations of Russian bots and “Guccifer 2.0,” the persona of the individual who supposedly hacked Democratic Party emails. Her campaign, Clinton writes, was the “target of a Russian plot,” directed by President Vladimir Putin, who “seeks to weaken our country.”
And what did this new “conspiracy so immense” actually involve? According to the Mueller report itself, organizations associated with Russia allegedly spent $100,000 on Facebook ads. This is 0.12 percent of the $81 million spent by the Democratic and Republican election campaigns themselves on Facebook ads, in a campaign dominated by the $5 billion spent by the billionaire backers of the two parties to buy the election.
As for the release of Democratic Party emails, even if one accepts the unsubstantiated claim that it was Russian operatives who turned them over to WikiLeaks, what the emails revealed were true facts about the operations of Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)—facts that the electorate had every right to know. Among the documents released were Clinton’s speeches to Goldman Sachs and other banks, for which she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. Other leaked emails exposed the corrupt efforts of the DNC to rig the primaries against Bernie Sanders.
Clinton lost in the 2016 elections because the Democratic Party, in line with the class interests it represents, made a calculated decision not to raise any social issues or make any appeal to the working class in its campaign against Trump. Do Clinton and company really expect the public to believe that Facebook ads put out by Russian agents were behind the collapse in voter turnout in working-class areas of Michigan, Wisconsin and other states?
The victory of the billionaire demagogue Trump was the result of widespread disillusionment with the Democratic Party after eight years of the Obama administration, which broke every campaign promise and exposed as lies the empty prattle about “hope” and “change.” Obama focused his energies on bailing out Wall Street and shoring up the wealth of the corporate and financial elite.
In her column, Clinton goes on to call for an alliance between the Democratic Party and the Republicans. The situation calls for “clear-eyed patriotism, not reflexive partisanship,” she writes. She urges Republicans to work with Democrats in an intensified campaign against Russia—with or without the Trump administration. She writes: “It’s up to members of both parties to see where that road map [provided by the Mueller report] leads—to the eventual filing of articles of impeachment, or not. Either way, the nation’s interests will be best served by putting party and political considerations aside and being deliberate, fair and fearless.”
Clinton wants a bipartisan foreign policy that is “fearless” in its aggression against not only Russia, but also China. “Unless checked, the Russians will interfere again in 2020, and possibly other adversaries, such as China or North Korea, will as well,” she warns. Unless Trump is “held accountable, the president will likely redouble his efforts to advance Putin’s agenda, including rolling back sanctions, weakening NATO and undermining the European Union.”
Changing what needs to be changed, such words could have been penned by Robert Welch himself. Confronting a fascistic president, the Democrats have managed to frame their entire opposition around a right-wing narrative. If the Democrats had their way and Trump were removed—to be replaced, don’t forget, by the ultra-right Vice President Mike Pence—it is almost certain that the immediate consequence would be war with nuclear-armed Russia.
Inextricably connected to the conflicts over foreign policy is the escalation of the attack on democratic rights within the United States. Reprising the ravings of Dies, social discontent is attributed to the nefarious efforts of Russia to “sow discord” within the United States.
Significantly, Clinton cites as a model the actions of the ruling class after the September 11, 2001 attacks, when “Congress established an independent, bipartisan commission to recommend steps that would help guard against future attacks.” She concludes, “We need a similar commission to help protect our elections.”
The September 11 attacks—a terrorist atrocity that killed nearly 3,000 people—were followed by the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Department, the Northern Command, domestic spying, Guantanamo Bay, the institution of torture and drone assassinations as government policy, and other crimes. The campaign of the Democrats over the Russian “attack”—a lie fashioned from whole cloth—has been accompanied by far-reaching moves to censor the internet under the guise of combating “fake news.”
The Democrats’ warmongering and attack on democratic rights come together in the persecution of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, whose enduring contribution to the population of the world was the exposure of the crimes of American imperialism. For this, Assange is currently imprisoned in Britain, facing imminent rendition to the United States. The courageous whistleblower Chelsea Manning is in jail for refusing to testify against him.
Such is Clinton’s defense of “our democracy.”
All of this further demonstrates that in the conflict between Trump and the Democratic Party there is no progressive or democratic faction. The anti-Russia narrative has not been challenged by any section of the Democratic Party, including Bernie Sanders, who is again seeking to cover up this warmongering party with a thin veneer of social reforms that it has no intention of implementing.
The conflict between the Democrats and the Trump administration is a conflict between two reactionary factions of the ruling class. All those political organizations and groups that are seeking to direct social opposition behind the Democratic Party are playing the most criminal role. They are no less terrified than Trump and the Democrats of the development of a genuine socialist movement of the working class, which will oppose American capitalism and its wars.
