Carly Fiorina is No Conservative Candidate

Several of my friends have opined that Carly Fiorina would make a great VP to Donald Trump. She sounds so good, and she makes some valid points, but actions speak louder than words, as we all well know. In my book, Carly Fiorina is just another Trotskyite, and if you won't go that far, she clearly uses Marxist techniques. Read on, and I'll explain.

In actuality, I'm not sure writing about Fiorina, Jindal, Rubio, Graham, or Perry (again), isn't a waste of time. As it stands right now, the top contenders are Trump, Jeb Bush, and maybe Cruz, the latter of whom I've written about previously and now have updated. Nevertheless, readers have asked for information on all the GOP candidates. Since Carly allegedly won the early debates of the lesser contenders, she's next on the list.

Cara Carleton "Carly" Sneed Fiorina, born September 6, 1954, is an American politician, former business executive, and current chair of the non-profit organization Good360. Carly's father was Joseph Sneed, long-time alleged conservative judge on the liberal 9th circuit federal appeals court for more than three decades and a member of the judicial panel that appointed Kenneth Starr to look into President Bill Clinton's financial dealings. A lot of good that did, and look at what is going on today! Sneed died in 2008.

In 1980, Fiorina rose through the ranks to become an executive at AT&T (who funds and promotes Planned Parenthood) and its equipment and technology spinoff, Lucent. Lucent which means "light-bearing" in Latin, also has the connotation of Lucifer, "the light bearer" (from lux, 'light', and ferre, 'to bear'), who is also a character in Dante's epic poem Inferno. This was a big story back when Lucent was first named. Everyone was on the bandwagon that this was a Luciferian company. The Lucent logo, the Innovation Ring, was designed by Landor Associates, a prominent San Francisco-based branding consultancy. One source inside Lucent said that the logo is actually the Zen Buddhist symbol for "eternal truth"--the Enso--turned 90 degrees and modified. Another source says it represents the mythic ouroboros, a snake holding its tail in its mouth. Lucent's logo also has been said to represent constant re-creating and re-thinking. Carly Fiorina picked the logo because her mother was a painter and she rejected the sterile geometric logos of most high tech companies. The Lucent name and logo still give me the willies, and I remember all the info on it back in the 90s.

As chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005, she was the first woman to lead one of the top twenty U.S. companies. Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors, including: $65 million in stock, a $3 million signing bonus, a $1 million annual salary (plus a $1.25–3.75 million annual bonus), $36,000 in mortgage assistance, a relocation allowance, and permission (and encouragement) to use company planes for personal affairs. She was the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 company, and that is one huge accomplishment.

However, Fiorina instituted three major changes to HP's culture shortly after her arrival: a shift from nurturing employees to demanding financial performance, replacing profit sharing with bonuses awarded if the company met financial expectations, and a reduction in operating units from 83 to 4. There were mergers and sell offs, and she was booed at company meetings and attacked on HP's electronic bulletin board.

At HP, Carly presented herself as a realist regarding the effects of globalization. She was a strong proponent, along with other technology executives, of the expansion of the H-1B visa program. Fiorina responded against protectionism in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, writing that while "America is the most innovative country," it would not remain so if the country were to "run away from the reality of the global economy."

Fiorina said to Congress in 2004: "There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore. We have to compete for jobs as a nation." While she argued that the only way to "protect U.S. high-tech jobs over the long haul was to become more competitive [in the United States]," her comments prompted "strong reactions" from some technology workers who argued that lower wages outside the United States encouraged the off shoring of American jobs. Because of changes to HP's culture, and requests for voluntary pay cuts to prevent layoffs (subsequently followed by the largest layoffs in HP's history), employee satisfaction surveys at HP—previously among the highest in America—revealed "widespread unhappiness" and distrust.

During Fiorina's time as CEO, HP's revenue doubled due to mergers with Compaq and other companies, and the rate of patent filings increased. However, the company reportedly underperformed in several areas: there were no gains in HP's net income, despite a 70% gain in net income of the S&P 500 over this period; the company's debt rose from ~4.25 billion USD to ~6.75 billion USD; and stock price fell by 50%, exceeding declines in the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector index and the NASDAQ.

In 2002, Carly was America's leading CEO for firing workers. As CEO of HP, she fired 33,000 workers according to the San Jose Mercury. She shipped American jobs to both India and China according to the Center for Industrial Competitiveness. Fiorina cut workers' salaries by $130 million while collecting $90 million for herself, according to the book, "Greed and Good." While other CEO's during the dot.com crisis took pay cuts, Carly Fiorina took a 231% raise, according to Executive Excess of 2003.

Loyalty was not among her high priorities, according to the book, "Backfire." While at HP, she traded with Iran in violation of U.S. trade sanctions by using a foreign entity. She has even praised and worked with, Jew hater - "Hymietown" - Jesse Jackson. (See here and here)

Business Week reported that she even hung her portrait in the lobby of HP. She also wanted HP to ship her yacht through the Panama Canal, reported the NYT's. Carly was called a flop and fired by the HP board, but collected $42 million in her "golden parachute" and $50,000 for career counseling. She also received a $200,000-a-year pension. Fiorina is rated one of the worst CEOs in history, along with Ken Lay of Enron.

After resigning from HP, Fiorina served on the boards of several organizations, and, during this time, she was recruited by John McCain as the top advisor for his Republican 2008 presidential campaign. In 2010, when Carly ran for the Senate against Barbara Boxer, McCain supported and campaigned for her. As far as I'm concerned, her relationship with leftist McCain should disqualify her as a presidential candidate. The Senator not only attended an Acorn rally, but has received funds in the past from a number of George Soros's shadowy organizations. (Source)

McCain is no conservative, he's a hard core neo-con Trotskyite. If you don't know what a Trotskyite is, read part 5 of my article on Senator Lamar Alexander.

In October of 2013, my friend Mary Thompson wrote an article in Newswithviews.com entitled, Hegelian Dialectic on the Right. In that article, Mary stated that the Fiorina known in Silicon Valley is no conservative, and that Carly worked with Arnold Schwarzenegger's transition team when he was elected governor, and we all know that Arnold, like McCain, is no conservative.

The article goes on to say that, apparently, Fiorina isn't much for voting, and that she only voted in five of the previous 18 elections. As well, "According to www.capoliticalnews.com, July 11, 2009, records showed that her Fiorina Foundation had never registered with the IRS or the state Attorney General's Charitable Trust division, which tax exempt charities are required to do."

Fiorina won the 2010 Republican Senate nomination in California, but lost to Barbara Boxer. The article states the reason why..." Fiorina's loss may have reflected the fact of her being possibly the most disliked person in the public eye after running the iconic Hewlett-Packard Corporation into the ground resulting in massive job losses. The family members of the founders of H-P refused to endorse her candidacy for Senate, they actively worked against her campaign by sending out letters explaining why."

All of the above is telling, but it is still minor compared to a speech delivered by Fiorina at the Progress and Freedom Foundation Seventh Annual Summit in Aspen, CO, in 2001. From Mary Thompson's article:

The San Jose Mercury reported: "Hewlett-Packard's Chief Executive Officer, Carly Fiorina, opened the conference with a scholarly address. She did not give interviews, but she did mention a reporter in her speech—a young guy who couldn't spell the name of the 19th Century philosopher, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (as in "Hegel you know, the process of Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis? I use it every day," said Fiorina)." (San Jose Mercury 8/27/2001-Jennifer Files reporter).

The San Jose Mercury published this writer's (Mary Thompson's) following letter to the editor in response to the article. (9/2/2001)

"Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina's reported 'Getaway to Aspen parallels valley lifestyle, mindset' makes an astonishing remark in her opening address to a recent conference of tech leaders in Aspen, Colorado. Hailing the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's dialectic process, she claims to 'use it every day.' Karl Marx preached it, Nicolai Lenin implemented it in Russia in the early 20th Century, and now we have Hegel's dialectic preached and practiced in 21st Century high–tech industry. And all this time we were led to believe communism was dead!" —Mary Thompson

The reporter only touched the tip of the iceberg of the entire speech in which Fiorina elaborated re: her devotion the idea of the Hegelian Dialectic as a tool for decision making. She suggested the synthesis of the status of schools to be "charter schools." The entire speech is still available online.

Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina's Hegelian Dialectical thinking process is highly flawed and immoral. It is not based upon absolutes. Note: Corrupt Government: Why?

I would urge everyone to read Mary Thompson's article, as it goes into detail on what the Hegelian Dialectic is and how it is used. Is Fiorina a Marxist? Maybe not, but she is using Marxist techniques, and why would a so-called conservative use the collectivist ideas of Hegel? I fully believe this woman is another leftist masquerading as a conservative Christian. Remember, too, that charter schools are tax-funded, but don't report to the local school boards. There you have it...taxation without representation!

Carly Fiorina chooses to believe that the Islamic Ottoman Empire was the greatest in the world. Like Chris Christie, she is snuggled with Islamists. In a speech that was given a mere two weeks after Islamic jihadists attacked America, the former HP chief executive officer gave a speech on technology, business, and our way of life. She glorified Islam and made only slight mention of European Christians and Jews having much to do with modern civilization.

I would urge you to read Fiorina, al-Mansour and the World Economic Forum, from 2010 on Canada Free Press by J.B. Williams. He states in this article:

Carly Fiorina sat on the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, which has observer status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

Congressional support for global governance will not wane on Carly's watch. Agenda 21 and "sustainable development" are the new buzz words for "global socialism" through global governance and Carly sits on the Foundation Board at the mother ship.

We should be asking Carly to describe her long-term relationship with Dr. Khalid al-Mansour—aka Don Warden, Black Panther puppet master, Saudi Royal front-man and Obama education financier.

Fiorina sits on other Boards with al-Mansour, such as the African Leadership Academy. Al-Mansour, aka Don Warden, was the man behind the men of the Black Panther movement in the 1960s. He has long held hope for a "black nationalist" president, starting as far back as his relationship with Malcolm X. In fact, X died while speaking at one of al-Mansour's college campus rallies.

Also, please check out the article by Tim Brown on Freedom Outpost entitled Carly Fiorina: Islamic Civilization was "Greatest in the World." The author asks a great question at the end of the article, "So, Fiorina has promoted lies from an anti-Christ religion and culture. Is this really the kind of person conservatives, let alone Christians, should be getting behind? If she does this with Islam and history, what do you think her mindset would be when it comes to the Constitution?"

Carly Fiorina talks a good game for the electorate of America, but, in reality, she is another neo-conservative player who belongs more to the noxious left than to the old Constitutional right. She'll never get my vote.

No more or less than Donald Trump who blamed Pam Geller for the Garland Terror attack. Said she did it for attention and to make money.

They’re a great match since Trump (D-NY) isn’t a conservative either (except in the minds of the ‘talk conservative to me’ crowd).

The reason I am a Conservative is because I am convinced that all politicians are stupid and destructive by nature.

If some politican comes along that is not stupid and destructive, I am willing to listen to what she has to say.

Very ironic that the author seems to support Trump for prez but it very “concerned” about Carly’s past dalliances with liberalism. Hmmm....

Ted Cruz needs to tear a page from Trump’s manual and get tough on taco crunchers and the big intrusive government and it’s complicit, convoluted system of courts, trials and punishments.

She’s firmly in lockstep with the Republican establishment. She’s got the eyes of a reptile and a face that could cut glass. She is being groomed and puffed up by the media. She will go after Donald viciously at the next debate and the media will spin it as Donald hates women and latinas.

Writing’s on the wall.

A serious politician can’t. That’s not how the game is played, FRiend. Red meat works for leading rats to water, but doesn’t win national elections.

Keep in mind it’s not what a man says that counts, but what he does. All words and no deeds, that’s Trump (D-NY).

Such BS.

Carly isn't my candidate, not even close, but trying to take her out with this BS stuff is so stupid and short sighted I can't hardly post.

If you've listened to her lately you'll see what I'm saying. She's as articulate as Cruz, frames the debate between the evil of progressives and the common sense of conservatism even better than he does.

Anyone who can make Chis Matthews shut up and look like a shamed puppy is someone we need to keep going on all the lib talk shows. We want her on the stage to vilify Hillary and her party, she does it well, just listen.

Think long term FReepers, she's not going to be the candidate, she's not going to win, but long term until the first primary, let her speak, she's awesome.

I swear the more people are shoving this woman at me, the more I can't stand her

It seems that she hasn't accomplished anything positive in her life. The exception would be the pension, "golden parachute", and job training allowance she received when HP fired her. She made millions for ruining tens of thousands of HP workers' lives.

Most of this article is full of tripe. I get the Muslim part and her lack of performance at HP. I work in IT and I fully understand that. The way this article is written, e.g. Lucifer, will do little to convince those in Carly’s camp to drop their support.

BTW, ruled out voting for Carly a while ago after hearing her gush on Muslims.

I don’t forget much.

For instance while everyone was cheering Trump “bravely” booting Kadaffi off his land a few years ago, I was asking why Trump rented it to him in the first place.

24 million watched the debate

Hundreds of thousands responded in social media.....with the majority calling Megyn Kelly disingenuous and unprofessional against Trump

Carly Fiorina heartedly supported Megyn.
That was it for me......spoke volumns

Because he’s a business many who would do anything to make money; even pretend to be a conservative to win the Republican nomination.

There is not one candidate who is perfect. Carly had the guts to say - over and over - that Hillary lies. No beating around the bush. She’s okay in my book.
