[Mia T]

Thank you. :)

Thank you especially for helping to get the word out about the clintons by viewing, bumping and, not the least, by enhancing my threads with your wonderful insights. (To get the message beyond FR, this search-engine positioning is essential and I thank you all for your vital help.)

An "enhancement-by-wonderful-insight" example on one of my recent threads
(HILLARY "Zelig" CLINTON: WHEN A CONGENITAL LIAR'S RUTHLESS AMBITION EXCEEDS HER ABILITY):

The Ghost of Saul Alinsky lives.... Take a look at that picture of Hillary found in a few biographies of her back when she was about 20. As I remember she was sitting in a chair, wearing those gaudy 70's wide-stripped bell-bottom pants, feet spread on the floor, she is wearing those big somewhat thick glasses and looking right into the camera. Looks a lot like her hero Saul here.--beyond the sea


Excellent observation! --Mia T

I do remember that particular photo of hillary wearing coke-bottle shades and Alinsky arrogance, punctuated by gaudy-striped-bell-bottom, wide-bottom, spread-eagle feminist rejection of even a modicum of attractiveness. (If anyone has that photo, please post here. Thank you....)

In the meantime, found another.

This brilliant Alinsky-clinton observation by beyond the sea is the perfect segue to an analysis of Alinsky's influence on hillary clinton... which leads inexorably to hillary rodham's closely guarded Wellesley thesis. (Plan to do an extended piece on that shortly.)

In the Wellesley thesis, hillary discussed "how to change the American political culture." This discussion occurred in the context of a tribute to the leftist political organizer, her mentor, Saul Alinsky.

Does missus clinton reveal her own thoughts on the radicalization and even balkanization of the American political process? We can't yet say with certainty because the thesis has been closed to public scrutiny from the moment missus clinton insinuated her radicalizing, balkanizing, liquidating self onto the national political stage.

If I had to guess, I would say she adopted Saul Alinsky's theories and practices without modification: hillary clinton exhibits no creativity, no vision of her own and tends to glom onto the latest fashion, whether it's Alinsky's Stalinist methods... or New Age occultism, recall her attraction to the teachings of

• Marianne Williamson, who some described as a "Jewish charismatic spiritualist"
• Ken Scott Nateshvar, yogi to the stars
• and the pièce de résistance, Jean Houston, the Director of the Foundation for Mind Research.

Houston was described by some as a "New Age" author who "studied psychic experiences and mystical connections to historical figures and other worlds." When the story of the Houston connection became public Houston became known as hillary clinton's "Eleanor Roosevelt Conduit."

Although she baked no cookies, didn't do illicit land or cattle deals and stood by no man, hillary clinton starred in the triple role of the Cook, the Thief and his Wife. Her lover was played at once vaporously and in workmanlike fashion by the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt, with Janet Reno, between her stints rendering intermittent injustice for the Husband, as the reliable stand-in. Sidney Blumenthal was the stand-in for the Cook and Craig Livingstone the stand-in for the Thief. The last-minute addition of Christopher Hitchens as the snitch was a stroke of absolute genius notwithstanding its cerebral accident, its predictable-if-perfect pitch (or its facile alliteration).

There is a great emotional likeness there too. Thank you for putting the photos side by side.

On Alinsky (http://www.vcn.bc.ca/citizens-handbook/rules.html)

For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting what is wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it. The two are linked. If people feel they don't have the power to change a bad situation, they stop thinking about it.

According to Alinsky, the organizer -- especially a paid organizer from outside -- must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a bad situation. Alinsky would say, "The first step in community organization is community disorganization."--beyond the sea

I have done nothing here in the past year that would garner any sort of recognition.

However, when I first spotted this thread yesterday, I was at my local car dealer getting my oil changed. Surfing in their complimentary inet cafe in their waitng area.

I added FR bookmarks and made FR the home page for both computers......
