Hillary Clinton’s credentials at being a neoconservative warmonger are equal to the Republican neocons. This is something she brags about in her book and by her public support of Henry Kissinger. This then makes her a great Democratic candidate for the Ruling Class.  But who knew that Hillary has learned the fine art of election theft from Karl Rove and company?  Peace activists are well aware that the machinery used to control election outcomes always favor the war party, but until now those methods are rarely used in primary elections.  

 

Writing for Russia Insider, author Rudy Panko, described the election fraud in Arizona as a “masterpiece”.

 

After stealing Iowa, Nevada and Massachusetts the Clinton machine is unable to turn the tide against Bernie Sanders.  Bernie is filling arenas from coast to coast.  People wait hours in line to see him talk about rigged economies and climate change. Sanders is winning the millennial generation by huge margins, and has enthusiastic supporters crushing her on social media and on the ground.  Hillary events are at small venues, with crowd size exaggerated.  

 

The pols cry glory and revenge. They cry security. They cry greatness.

Then they stick in the needle, or the missile or the rifle shell, or the nuclear bomb. Or at least they imagine doing so. This will fix the world. And they approve more funding for war.

U.S. militarism, and the funding — and the fearmongering — that sustain it are out of control . . . in the same way, perhaps, that stage 4 cancer is out of control.

We talk about “the Pentagon” as though it were a rational entity, hierarchically in control of what it does, dispensable as needed to trouble spots around the world: a tool of America’s commander in chief and, therefore, of the American people. The reality, undiscussed on the evening news or the presidential debates, is something a little different. The American military is an unceasing hemorrhage of cash and aggression, committed — perhaps only at the unconscious level — to nothing more than its own perpetuation, which is to say, endless war.

Line of people waiting to vote

PHOENIX – During Tuesday’s primary election in Arizona, voters confronted lines lasting as long as five hours after a drastic reduction in polling sites. In Maricopa County, the largest county in the state and home to Phoenix, election officials cut polling places by 70 percent since 2012 – reducing 200 locations to just 60. While officials point to lack of funding and sparse volunteers, the reduction in polling sites would have likely faced scrutiny from the federal government had the protections of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) been in full effect. The U.S. Congress has yet to amend the VRA since the Supreme Court gutted the formula for federal preclearance of voting laws for states with a history of voter suppression – including Arizona – in 2013.
