CNN's Hillary Clinton film scrapped as director blames lack of co-operation

Charles Ferguson says he was met with a wall of silence from more than a hundred people who refused to be interviewed.

Private production. Then air it on the Hillary Channel. You know, the one with the motto, “free and compulsory.”

You’d think Hitlery’s lesbian lovers would be clamoring to speak.

Gehad el-Haddad
(The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad"?)

A senior Muslim Brotherhood official employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo, charged with inciting violence.

Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top communications officials; he was a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Barack Obama's hand-picked Egyptian candidate, Morsi (now deposed).

Gehad el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a tax-exempt do-good foundation founded by former President Bill Clinton.

El-Haddad pushed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist agenda in the foreign press, where he was often quoted defending the Brotherhood’s crackdown on civil liberties in Egypt.

Gehad became the public face of the Islamist terrorist organization soon after leaving his post at the Clinton Foundation.

Much of Gehad's official work with the Muslim Brotherhood took place while he was still claiming to be employed by the Clinton Foundation.

Behold what 'smart power' hath wrought: Obama's careening and incomprehensible handling of the Syrian crisis.....doing a Costa Concordia with US ntl security and foreign policy. In short, Obama outed himself as naive, isolated....and outlandishly stupid. Remember, The goal of smart power is to accomplish an "important foreign political objective without firing a shot."

Not to forget then-Secy of State Hillary's part in the debacle.

The Democrats' 'Smart Power' Lies in Ruins

Democrats Suddenly Realize What They Miscalculated About the World: Everything

As we await Congress’ decision on authorizing the use of U.S. military force in Syria, Democrats are suddenly realizing that their foreign policy brain-trust completely misjudged the world.

Being nicer to countries like Russia will not make them nicer to you. The United Nations is not an effective tool for resolving crises. Some foreign leaders are beyond persuasion and diplomacy. There is no “international community” ready to work together to solve problems, and there probably never will be.

You can pin this on Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Susan Rice, but most of all, the buck stops with the president. Those of us who scoffed a bit at a state senator ascending to the presidency within four years on a wave of media hype and adoration are not quite so shocked by this current mess.

We never bought into this notion that getting greater cooperation from our allies, and less hostility from our enemies, was just a matter of giving this crew the wheel and letting them practice, as Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared it, “smart power” (and fronted Time magazine cover).

(These people can’t even label a foreign policy approach without reminding us of how highly they think of themselves.)

They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didn’t see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs.

No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough. (Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...

Most of them responded, “I don’t remember, my brain’s in a blender, it’s Jello....”

[Thank You Rush]

“”you need people who have been close to the Clinton’s,””

Those people only vote - they can’t talk anymore.

If she is that intimidating, why didn’t she defeat Obama in the primaries, I wonder?

I think they made a deal. I'm not sure who had the stronger hand, though.

[IMR 4350]

I don't think Zippo was supposed to be elected.

I believe right at the last minute he was supposed to be found ineligible to be president and Hillary would take his place.

This would have set up a situation almost exactly like the 1992 election that got B Clinton elected.

There would have been massive race riots, the economy would have completely collapsed, and surprise surprise there was a terrorist attack planned for NYC.

Personally I believe you would, to quote Hillary, have to suspend disbelief to believe it was just a coincidence all three had occurred almost exactly like 1992 just by coincidence.

There's the movie! It would be a great deal more interesting to examine why people won't talk than to make some fluff piece pulled from public accounts.

Fear! Intimidation! Blackmail!

This is the story that everyone guesses, but no one will say.

[VRW Conspirator]

Pig In A Pantsuit — you’ve got to be a veteran FReeper to know the history behind that name.

Hillary is an old bag. Spread the word.

[thoughtomator 2.0]

Exactly - if CNN cared to expose this woman for what she is, there’s no lack of people who would testify to her perfidy. All CNN is talking to are former Clinton associates and flunkies - that’s all that’s in their Rolodexes.

[OrangeHoof]

Well, this tells you it wasn’t Hillary’s idea. That or her team has already sunk money into the NBC movie.

[MissMagnolia]

LOL! The resurrection of “PIAPS” ..... glad to see it.

[GladesGuru]

Arkancide - It’s BACK!

Odinga won, by making people close to the Clintons die. He showed the Chicago Way was more ruthless than the Dixie Mafia.

Nachum, The List, please...

None dare speak the truth about PIAPS. Yet PIAPS is the ‘Rat choice for the next chief executive.

I'll bed Ted Cruz and Rand Paul would speak the truth about Hillary if either of them were the GOP nominee. Chris Christie... he'd belly up for a hug.

Something strange about your links...

From the link - about Bill Clinton:

I asked him about the financial crisis. He paused and then became even more soulful, thoughtful, passionate, and articulate. And then he proceeded to tell me the most amazing lies I’ve heard in quite a while.

For example, Mr. Clinton sorrowfully lamented his inability to stop the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which banned all regulation of private (OTC) derivatives trading, and thereby greatly worsened the crisis. Mr. Clinton said that he and Larry Summers had argued with Alan Greenspan, but couldn’t budge him, and then Congress passed the law by a veto-proof supermajority, tying his hands. Well, actually, the reason that the law passed by that overwhelming margin was because of the Clinton Administration’s strong advocacy, including Congressional testimony by Larry Summers and harsh public and private attacks on advocates of regulation by Summers and Robert Rubin.

Wow, I thought, this guy is a really good actor. And I also saw one reason why Hillary Clinton might not be thrilled about my movie.
