Hillary's Secret War by Richard Poe |
![]() |
We poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into building FreeRepublic.com and organizing a cyber-community of tens of thousands of Freeper activists all over the United States. We didn't do that job to win medals or accolades. We did it because it had to be done, just like we went to Vietnam -- those of us who went -- because that job had to be done too.
To tell the truth, I was ready to go to my grave knowing that everything we accomplished at Free Republic might be forgotten. That was OK with me. What mattered was doing the job, not getting credit for it. Still, when I read Richard's book for the first time, it kind of choked me up a little bit, because I saw that somebody had been paying attention; somebody recognized what we were doing. Somebody knew that the Freepers were fighting for liberty on the Internet, just as we veterans fought for freedom in Vietnam. That made me feel pretty good.
For me, it was fascinating to read about the lives and struggles of others involved in this movement that Richard calls the New Underground -- people like Chris Ruddy, Joe Farah, Matt Drudge, David Horowitz, J. J. Johnson, and all the rest. Believe it or not, I don't really know any of those people. I met Drudge once and J. J. Johnson once. But as for Ruddy and Farah, it's been an e-mail here, a phone call there. And I don't think I ever communicated with David Horowitz at all.
White House unless she shuts us down first. We know the storm is coming, and we're getting ready for it. |
Hillary says that we're a vast right-wing conspiracy, but if there's a conspiracy going on, they sure never let me in on it. I hear Richard Mellon Scaife has given money to a lot of fine causes and organizations, and good for him, but he sure hasn't thrown any my way.
When it comes to networking and conspiring, I'm not much good at it. It's hard enough just trying to get Freepers to work together. How do you get tens of thousands of individualists to cooperate on something, each with his or her own opinion and agenda? Trying to keep the Freepers pulling in the same direction is like trying to herd cats.
I love all the details in Richard's book about the other Web sites and their owners. Reading their stories was eye opening for me. I was so busy fighting my own skirmishes, I didn't have much time to survey the battlefield as a whole. Hillary's Secret War showed me that the persecution we endured at Free Republic was part of a bigger picture.
Of course, I knew about Hillary and her secret police. We all knew that. Way back in the early '90s on the Prodigy message board, we were already talking about how it seemed that Hillary was pulling all the strings. But her war on media dissidents, both on and off the Internet, really was a secret war, just as Richard says. Most people in America had no idea it was going on.
They didn't know what kinds of pressures and harassment people faced when they tried to speak out and tell the truth about Clinton corruption. Even many of us who were directly involved in the dissident media didn't always have the perspective to fit the pieces together: the threats and intimidation, the IRS audits, burglaries, lawsuits, surveillance, infiltration, the smear campaigns, false arrests, journalists getting knocked upside the head in hotels, even a lot of folks mysteriously ending up dead.
Now, I want to make one thing clear. I'm not really big on conspiracy theory. If I'm going to believe something, there's got to be some meat and potatoes to it. I sincerely doubt that Hillary ever personally ordered anyone killed. I just don't want to believe that Hillary is that rotten. And I don't think Richard Poe jumps to that conclusion either.
But there were definitely forces at work in America that killed to protect the Clintons and their secrets. Richard doesn't pull any punches in writing about that. Whether those forces were Chinese intelligence or Dixie Mafia, or whatever they were, I can only guess. But they were out there. And if Hillary ever said to her subordinates, "Gee, I wish such-and-such person would just go away and disappear," I don't doubt there were people in the kind of circles she moved in who might take a statement like that seriously and do something about it.
Hillary is the godmother of the Clinton crime family. There is no question about it. That's why she said we need gatekeepers and editors on the Internet. Hillary has a lot to hide and she knows she can't control the Internet the way she controls Dan Rather. The invention of the printing press freed the masses from the gatekeepers of old. Now anyone with a computer and Internet connection wields the equivalent of his own printing press, along with a worldwide distribution network.
Web sites such as The DrudgeReport, WorldNetDaily, NewsMax, FrontPageMagazine, Lucianne, FreeRepublic, and countless others have given voice to millions of liberty-minded individuals. Underground pamphleteers ignited the flames of revolution in 1776. Now the Internet is fanning those flames all over again. And that's bad news for Hillary.
She knows she can't get back in the White House unless she shuts us down first. The secret war Richard writes about is still going on. It died down a little bit when Bush took office, but it's just the lull before the storm. We know the storm is coming, and we're getting ready for it.

Tell me about it. When control begins to slip through the fingers of control freaks, they can become, well, emotional ;^) "Power Trip" is not a hobby for them; it's a way of life. It's comical watching their heads explode when their lives begin to come unraveled. God save us from these "sick" people.
I believe that the balance of power for the entire world hangs on this election and the next.
At first reading, I regarded that statement as hyperbole. After some additional thought, I think it's likely very close to the truth. As the U.S. goes; so goes the world?
And they're not exactly slouches when it comes to organizing...
The nature of the beast? Their "constituents" seem more agreeable to being herded?

She does seem to bring out the animal in we, er, carnivores.
...it'd signal the beginning of real war to me.
The left has been at war with us for decades; we finally showed up?

WOW! It was ALL true, and none of it was made up by a "vast right-wing conspiracy", it was ALL made by her husband. How this woman has any credibilty is beyond me.
It makes no sense.
We're gonna win, 'cause we're battle-seasoned now. Let's roll....................FRegards
Jim-Nice intro. The hurdles you have fought, it appears, were being fought on other fronts by other motivated patriots, as well. I am looking forward to reading this book.
The clintons and their ugly MO still has the capacity to chill me to the bone. They so reek of lies and blind ambition. It's palpable. And as replusive and stinking today as it was yesterday!
Their ability to label their opponents with their own crafty and insidious 'dealings', an ability greatly aided by a complacent and willing press corp., has angered me for many years.
We are still here, we are still motivated out of a love for this nation, its foundations and our years of friendship built upon the same. Our army has grown in both numbers and sophistication. And should this extrodinarily vile piece of work, along with her hound dog HINO (husband in name only-you know the one-the disgraced, impeached creep, a POTUS who left office with a suspended law license-embarrassing for our nation), attempt to shut down sites on the web which provide meeting places for folks of shared political philosophys, etc.....we are ready. Armed with the constitution and much, much more.
So to hellary and her lock step gestapo, I can only quote GW, followed by the meek mannered johnny kerry, saying...'BRING IT ON'!!! He. He. We are ready!!!
Whatever happenned to "McFly???
LOL!
