It is rare in the course of political history that you get such a perfect storm of political chicanery as has been generated by the race for the presidential nomination in 2016. It is an age where grass roots activism is becoming so much easier to organize and the powers that be are at least unable to hide the truth.
No reasonable person would suggest Hillary Clinton is not good at what she does. What she actually does seems to be a lot less clear to many people than it should be. Its truly brilliant, and perhaps even has taken some inspiration from fiction.
In the "Old Republic" of the "Star Wars" universe, the galactic empire is attacked by a Sith Lord named Count Dooku. Dooku commanded a robot army that was threatening the safety of the Empire. The people turned to the head of the imperial senate, Chancellor Palpatine for solutions. He came up with a horrific plan to use human clones as warriors. The idea was ghastly, but they voted for it out of fear. Meanwhile, the Jedi, who had once been this impartial force in the empire(like our media used to be) stood by and watched it all decay with no real plan to stop it. Palpatine turned out to be Dooku's real boss, and together they committed a coup-de-tat on the empire. Maybe its a far far away comparison, but the very real doubt has surfaced about this with the leaking of the Podesta emails.
In the leaked emails, it shows the Clinton Campaign actively conspiring to promote extremist Republican candidates, in hopes of making them less electable. The media was instructed to take them seriously. All that free air time, all that hate speech that Trump has promoted, all of that was brought to you via a platform built by the Clinton Campaign.
Another unfortunate parallel to this is the way intelligence services use extremists like radical Islamist jihadis to fulfill objectives. Don't like the government of a certain country, but can't legally depose their government? Arm the craziest people in the country, provide them with other backing, and hope they're easy enough to betray later on. In a very real sense, Trump is an ideological ISIS, dropped into the RNC to destabilize the regime.
It is very impressive! She gets to play Sith Lord and watch her enemies tear themselves apart from within. Even within the DNC she created dissent with all the fraud perpetrated in the primaries. This has created so much division within the Left that many people stop talking to each other over if they should support Hillary Clinton or Jill Stein. It has become especially taboo among Clinton supporters to even question her, and far too often the myth of the "spoiler" vote is thrown into play.
We now also have evidence that Clinton's state department was directly arming ISIS. We've had American military and intelligence officers come out and say similar things to what is in the emails, but now we have more proof. We know for sure that Obama was selling offices within Clinton's state department to large money donors; so it is likely "defense" contractors have been directly manipulating public policy.
Like magic, whenever scandals arise about Hillary Clinton, the focus is so often on non-issues. Her state department distributed an awful lot of weapons(over 100 billion worth). That's just the weapons we know about too. Many of those same weapons are now in the hands of our enemies. Some of them are in the hands of some people who should be our enemies but whom we call allies.
I can't help but be impressed with the cunning strategies she uses, or the way they've positioned the public to be too busy fighting over nonsense to really address these issues.
