On Her Majesty's Secret Server ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 21 Aug 2015 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 08/23/2015 12:39:13 AM PDT by Rummyfan

On my weekly appearance with Hugh Hewitt, we discussed the latest revelations re 45th President presumptive:

HUGH HEWITT: Mark, I have a proposition. No other politician in the western world in any democracy – whether ours, Canada, Great Britain, Australia – could survive the conduct that Hilary Clinton has engaged in whose last name was not Clinton. Agree or disagree?

MARK STEYN: Yeah, I think that's true - and it's one of these situations where people think "Oh well, that's just Bill and Hilary. That's just what they do." And usually it's just something that is a personal benefit to them that they – going back to when they used to claim Bill's used underwear as tax-deductible charitable donations back in the early '90s in Arkansas. But the idea that the chief foreign policy official of the United States can keep the most confidential business of the United States and its relations with the world powers on a server in some guy's bathroom in an apartment in Colorado and you can only read about that because a British newspaper – the Daily Mail – thought it was kind of newsworthy, but the New York Times and the Washington Post and the LA Times didn't – that tells you that this woman thinks none of it matters and she's got a couple of speed bumps on the path to her coronation, but her carriage is still going to make it.

We are NOT a democracy.. never was but could be under socialism...

The US Constitution nowhere has the word DEMOCRACY or any version of the word in IT... ANYWHERE..

True.. Canada, UK are democracys.. but they are primitive political systems..

Democracy was, is and always will be Mob Rule by mobsters..
Pretty simple really.. a Givernment MAFIA... much like a Monarchy..

Democracy is a political disease that spawns Socialism..
always was.. still is..

Which is WHY we have a Republic NOT a democracy.. exactly why?..


Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx

*** the founders knew what a democracy WAS but more important than that what it WASn’T..
And “DEMOCRATS” have been working hard for more than a century to make us ONE..

Did I say; Mob Rule by mobsters?..

I heard the interview and love Steyn but have always thought Hewitt was a little bit of a dim bulb at times.

It really bugs me that they do the Goebbels thing and keep repeating lies——that we are a Democracy like that thing in the White House continues to do. It is like repeating the words “homosexual marriage” to make something so absurd it becomes the truth—just because it is repeated for decades so that the children will embed the concept.

Hewitt a “dim bulb?” Surely you jest.

Even if you disagree with him you would have to admit he is one of the best interviewers on radio.

Ironic - in the past 6 months I’ve probably read 20 novels by Silva or Flynn....and I was thinking exactly the same thing - about all the intricate espionage techniques these writers use in their books - and Steyn is right, none of them involve the toiler server scenario!

“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.”

This statement demonstrates why socialists and Islamists understand each other so well.

Members of the GOPe always seem to have a dim bulb aura about them.

Even when, as you say, they ask good questions.

While I agree with you, one item sticks in my mind.

“Democracy was, is and always will be Mob Rule by mobsters..
Pretty simple really.. a Givernment MAFIA... much like a Monarchy..”

That sure sounds a lot like the current government in Washington, District of Criminality to me.

I would be great if one of those authors would take up the gauntlet and release a book in the near future that used that exact scenerio.

The buck-raking Clintons desperately want us to believe that State Dept computers were wiped clean, emails deleted, server was safely stored in Denver, etc.

I firmly believe they hung on to the servers b/c they contain important financial details of the Clintons holdings....such as where they stashed the $6 billion missing from the State Dept....and zillions accrued from selling state secrets.

CLINTON CASH AUTHOR PETER SCHWEIZER OBSERVES: Deleted Hillary Emails Probably Relate to shady ‘Clinton Cash’ Transactions, and the billions raked in by the Clinton Foundation.

================================================

REFERENCE When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had billions stashed offshore---into a complicated labyrinth of financial entities.

Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers.

To unsuspecting outsiders, and the people he duped, this seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of Madoff's complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

===================================================

Remember that the "compassionate" Bill was incessantly globe-trotting.....famously "doing-good" w/ Foundation donations.

The greedy Clintons have been controlling the levers of govt income and outgo for years. The two Clinton crooks have money stashed all over the world......probably wire-transferred zillions offshore into LLC accounts and into other financial instruments.

ACADEMY AWARD-WORTHY--Obama's "I know nothing" act.

<><> He didn't know about this?

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks.

With all the high-level intel available to him:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed Clinton using "charity" to worm his way into the confidences of foreign dictators...but only those w/ untapped reserves
of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

================================================

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt....w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Obama never noticed that Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

The avaricious Clintons devised literally hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.

====================================================

Obama had been protecting the Clintons----his meal ticket. Now the tables have been turned......some observers note that when L/E goes after crooks, it's b/c the protections payoffs were not big enough.

Looks like Obama's been reading the sordid Clinton Chronicles and is hopping mad over the cut they've been giving him.

The CiC has been shortchanged.

You are probably the first person anywhere to float that idea. But it's a great idea!

No one respects weaselly press secretaries, like the ones Obama has. Combative press secretaries get the job done, but they make too many enemies along the way.

Steyn would be totally different from either of those two types. Steyn would control the room with logic and wit. That's a rare combination. It was something that Reagan had, by the way.

“If you got a loony with the sane position versus a sane man with a loony position bet on the loony with a sane position.”

The above remark by Steyn comparing Jeb and Trump is great===BUT shouldn’t we have this choice instead:

A sane man with a sane position. I believe we can find one among all the other nominees. Right now, I’m leaning Cruz.
