"They Went After The Women Who Came Forward" - Former Obama HHS Secretary Exposes The Clintons

Authored by Alex Thomas via SHTFplan.com,

In the “post Weinstein” world we now find ourselves in we have seen dozens and dozens of prominent figures in Hollywood, politics, and the media be accused of a wide range of sexual attacks on women.

From groping all the way to rape, powerful establishment figures are being outed as sexual predators across the country, with the mainstream media declaring that all accusers must, at least initially, be believed.

Amazingly, at the same time, mainstream media talking heads have either specifically ignored the numerous allegations against Bill Clinton or actually claimed that his accusers are discredited and cannot be believed. (Keep in mind all other accusers are automatically assumed to be telling the truth.)

With that being said, it was only a matter of time before that dam broke as well and now, with a series of explosive comments by an Obama and Clinton ally, one can hope that Bill Clinton may finally be brought to justice with Hillary forever shamed for her role in attacking the women who came forward.

In an interview conducted on a CNN podcast by former Obama chief adviser David Axelrod, former Obama Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius opened up about the cover-up and subsequent attacks on the women who accused then President Clinton in the 1990’s.

“Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him,” Sebelius stunningly detailed. Keep in mind this is a fact that the alternative media has reported on literally hundreds and hundreds of times while being attacked as right-wing conspiracy theorists for doing so.

 

“And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims,” Sebelius continued.

Sebelius made clear that her criticism extends directly to Hillary Clinton herself who was widely known to be the driving force behind the attacks on her husbands accusers.

An article written about the podcast by CNN couldn’t hide from the fact that this is absolutely Hillary’s problem as well.

Sebelius extended her criticism to Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton White House for what she called a strategy of dismissing and besmirching the women who stepped forward - a pattern she said is being repeated today by alleged perpetrators of sexual assault - saying that the criticism of the former first lady and Secretary of State was “absolutely” fair.

 

Sebelius noted that the Clinton Administration’s response was being imitated, adding that “you can watch that same pattern repeat, It needs to end. It needs to be over.”

 

The comments came during a conversation with David Axelrod on the latest episode of “The Axe Files,” a podcast produced by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.

Of course the notoriously left wing, anti-Trump network couldn’t simply report on Sebelius’s comments without also attacking Republicans who have seemingly done the exact thing that the network has defended the Clinton’s for doing.

One can imagine that like Donna Brazile, Sebelius will be attacked by Clinton’s army of media shills and then eventually attempt to backtrack a few days later when the pressure becomes too much to handle.

Regardless, the cat is out of the bag. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton (as well as the entire machine around them) actively and purposefully attacked the numerous women who accused Bill of everything from groping to rape.

They absolutely did not “stand by them.”

Bill Clinton Faces Sexual Assault Accusations From Four More Women

In a stunning revelation that could leave an indelible stain on the Clintons’ political legacy and possibly quash Hillary Clinton"s dreams of running for president again in 2020, the Daily Mail is reporting that four women have shared their accounts of being sexually assaulted by Clinton in a new book written by former New York Times editor Ed Klein that will hit shelves later this week.

According to the mail, the women allege the former president assaulted them in the early 2000s, when Clinton was working with playboy billionaire investor Ron Burkle. Clinton and Burkle used to travel together on Burkle’s private jet, which earned the reprehensible nickname “Air F*** One”. All of the women are former employees of Burkle who said Clinton took advantage of his power over them.

Bill Clinton is facing explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

 

The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president — whose past is littered with charges of sexual misconduct — stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, say the sources.

 

Attorneys representing the women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.

 

As part of the ongoing negotiations, the attorneys for the women are asking for substantial payouts in return for their clients" silence.

 

A member of Clinton"s legal team has confirmed the existence of the new allegations.

Two days ago, the Washington Post reported that the torrent of abuse allegations against powerful men in Hollywood, finance, tech and politics has revived scrutiny into allegations of sexual abuse that have surrounded Clinton since his days in the Arkansas governor’s mansion. A growing number of Democrats now say they were wrong to have so vigorously defended the former president against allegations  ranging from groping to rape.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) — Hillary Clinton’s successor as senator from New York, a staunch backer of her presidential campaign and a talked-about presidential possibility — was the first big-name Clinton ally to speak out, telling the New York Times that by today’s standards, the “appropriate response” for Clinton would have been to resign the presidency when his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky was revealed in 1998. In response, Gillibrand was viciously attacked as a hypocrite by several Clinton toadies.

The women plan to file a lawsuit against the former president. Of course, this isn’t the first time Clinton has been sued for sexual misconduct. Back in the late 1990s, Clinton paid $850,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee whose case led to Clinton"s impeachment in the House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal by the Senate in 1999. Several senior Democratic party sources confirmed the allegations with Klein, and also confirmed that negotiations about a possible settlement with the women had reached “a critical stage.”

If they fail to reach a settlement, one source told the Mail that the women plan to hold a press conference to share their stories, a media event that would undoubtedly make Clinton the most high-profile figure in the long list of men from Harvey Weinstein to Kevin Spacey who’ve been felled by the widening scandal.

To be sure, Clinton is unlikely to face criminal charges because the assaults allegedly took place more than 10 years ago, beyond the reach of statues of limitations in many states.

The new allegations refer to incidents that took place more than 10 years ago, in the early 2000s, when Clinton was hired by Ron Burkle, the playboy billionaire investor, to work at his Yucaipa companies.

Clinton helped Burkle generate business and flew around the world with a flock of beautiful young women on Burkle"s private jet, which was nicknamed "Air F**k One."

 

The four women, who have not yet revealed their identities, were employed in low-level positions at the Burkle organization when they were in their late teens and claim they were sexually assaulted by the former president.

 

There is no evidence that Burkle knew anything about these alleged assaults by Clinton.

 

Contacted for a comment on the women"s allegations, a member of Clinton"s legal team said: "Obviously, I"m aware of [the allegations] but can"t talk about them."

The list of women whom Clinton has allegedly assaulted includes not only Jones, but also Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and others. Clinton also famously had an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern.

"Bill is distraught at the thought of having to testify and defend himself against sex charges again," said a Democratic Party official who is familiar with the case.

 

"He hopes his legal team can somehow stop the women from filing charges and drag him through the mud."

The source added that Hillary Clinton is furious with her husband for getting entangled in yet another sexual scandal.  

In a disturbing though unsurprising detail, Hillary reportedly offered to hire private detectives to dig up dirt on the women, but Bill Clinton"s attorneys persuaded her to not interfere. In the past Hillary has hired teams of detectives who managed to silence a number of women in Little Rock who had complaints about Bill"s unwanted sexual advances, the Mail reported.

But now Hillary admits there"s a different atmosphere in our culture about sexual harassment and it"s not possible to intimidate women into silence about charges once they make up their mind to speak up. Hillary wants to remain in the public eye as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump and play a major role in politics for years to come, including possibly running for president again in 2020.

As the Mail pointed out, the Clintons haven’t lived as man and wife for many years.

"She"s afraid this latest scandal could destroy the Clinton legacy and torpedo her plans.

 

"The relationship between Bill and Hillary has been more of a business relationship for a number of years, except when it comes to their daughter and grandchildren.

 

"They haven"t lived as man and wife for a number of years, mostly due to Bill"s running around with other women.

 

"It became obvious years ago that even age wasn"t going to make Bill settle down and stop chasing women. Hillary has simply ignored it and lived her separate life.

 

"Bill spends a great deal of his time in his penthouse apartment above the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock.

 

"Hillary occasionally goes to Little Rock, but she refuses to stay in the apartment because she knows that"s his love nest."

Unsurprisingly, the mainstream press haven’t caught on to the Clinton story yet. But given all the attention these types of allegations have received lately, we imagine CNN, the New York Times and their ilk won’t be able to ignore the story forever.

'Boomerangski' Returns To Bite The Clintons

Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com,

The strenuous effort of “Resistance” passengers in the Limousine-of-State to shove Donald Trump out of the driver’s seat continues into what would normally be the news-wasteland of midsummer. Last week it was the smoking popgun of Trump Junior’s meeting with a Russian lawyer purported (by British music promoter Rob Goldstein) to be associated with the “Russian Crown Prosecutor” (no such office in a country without a monarch).

The news caused the usual commotion among the very media mouthpieces who publish anti-Trump allegations as a staple for their “Resistance” readerships. By the way, this blog might be described as anti-Trump, too, in the sense that I did not vote for him and regularly inveigh against his antics as President - but neither is Clusterfuck Nation a friend of the Hillary-haunted Dem-Prog “Resistance,” in case there’s any confusion about where we stand. If anything, we oppose the entirety of the current political regime in our nation’s capital, the matrix of rackets that is driving the aforementioned Limousine-of-State off the cliff of economic collapse. Just sayin’.

“Resistance” law professors, such as Lawrence Tribe at Harvard, were quick to holler “treason” over Junior’s meet-up with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin. Well, first of all, and not to put too fine a point on it, don’t you have to be at war with another nation to regard any kind of consort as “treason?” Last time I checked, we were not at war with Russia - though it sure seems like persons and parties inside the Beltway would dearly like to make that happen. You can’t call it espionage either, of course, because that would purport the giving of secret information, not the receiving of political gossip.

Remember, the “Resistance” is not going for impeachment, but rather Section 4 of the 25^th Amendment. That legal nicety makes for a very neat-and-clean surgical removal of a whack-job president, without all the cumbrous evidentiary baggage and pain-in-ass due process required by impeachment. All it requires is a consensus among a very small number of high officials, who then send a note to the leaders in both houses of congress stating that said whack-job president is a menace to the polity — and out he goes, snippety-snip like a colorectal polyp, into the hazardous waste bag of history. And you’re left with a nice clean asshole, namely Vice President Mike Pence.

Insofar as Pence appears to be a kind of booby-prize for the “Resistance,” that fateful reach for the 25^th Amendment hasn’t happened quite yet. It is hoped, I’m sure, that the incessant piling on of new allegations about “collusion” with the Russians will get the 25thers over the finish line and into the longed-for end zone dance.

More interestingly, though, the meme that has led people to believe that any contact between Russians and Americans is ipso facto nefarious vectors into the very beating heart of the “Resistance” itself: the Clintons.

How come the Clintons have not been asked to explain why — as reported on The Hill blog — Bill Clinton was paid half a million dollars to give speech in Russia (surely he offered them something of value in exchange, pending the sure thing Hillary inaugural) ...

or what about the $2.35 million “contribution” that the Clinton Foundation received after Secretary of State Hillary allowed the Russians to buy a controlling stake in the Uranium One company, which owns 20 percent of US uranium supplies, with mines and refineries in Wyoming, Utah, and other states, as well as assets in Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer?

Incidentally, the Clinton Foundation did not “shut down,” as erroneously reported early this year. It was only its Global Initiative program that got shuttered. The $2.35 million is probably still rattling around in the Clinton Foundation’s bank account.

Don’t you kind of wonder what they did with it? I hope Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller wants to know.

Duterte Lashes Out At Chelsea Clinton's Comments: "How Did You Feel When Your Father Was F***ing Monica Lewinsky?"

A few days ago, controversial Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte made a fairly "unsavory" quip in a speech to soldiers about his decision to declare martial law following a prolonged battle with drug lords and ISIS threats in this country.  In what was meant as "sarcasm," at least according to Duterte, he told soldiers that the ramifications of martial law would fall upon the presidency alone and that he would take the blame if soldiers "rape three women."  Per the Daily Mail:

"For this martial law and the consequences of martial law and the ramifications of martial law, I and I alone would be responsible."

"Just do your work. I will handle the rest. I will be imprisoned for you. If you rape three (women), I will say that I did it."

Of course, as Sean Spicer recently found out when he idiotically compared Assad to Hitler, there are a couple of topics that should just be off limits in political speeches...and rape is one of them. 

Not surprisingly, the comment immediately drew international criticism including the following tweet from Chelsea Clinton...you know, because we"re apparently supposed to care what she has to say still.

Not funny. Ever. https://t.co/XUIo85noBQ

— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) May 26, 2017

But, as we"ve learned before after he called Obama a "son of a whore," Duterte is not the type to back down from the pressure of public opinion and/or the twitter rants of former first daughters.  Therefore, it"s not terribly surprising that he lashed out at Chelsea with the following:

"These whores, they hear "rape". Like, like Chelsea, she slammed me. I was not joking, I was being sarcastic. Listen to the speech. I do not laugh at my own jokes."

"I will tell her, when your father, the president of the United States, was f***ing Lewinsky and the girls in the White House, how did you feel? Did you slam your father?"

And, just in case there was any confusion, Duterte has subsequently asked Chelsea again: "I repeat, when President Clinton was fucking Lewinsky, what was your statement or your reaction?"

"It is a crime actually committed by soldiers, mostly Americans in Okinawa," he said, referring to several rape cases involving U.S. servicemen stationed in Japan, most recently last year.

"But, we never heard of a Filipino. But I am just warning them that anything they do, I have to answer for it. I take full responsibility for your foolishness. I speak sarcastically."

"You Americans, like Chelsea, be careful because you live in a glass house," he said.

"I repeat, when President Clinton was fucking Lewinsky, what was your statement or your reaction?"

Somehow we suspect Chelsea"s going to pass on offering up her thoughts on the topic of her father"s infidelities despite Duterte"s repeated requests for additional information.

Matt Drudge In Rare On Air Appearance Declares: 'Trump Saved the Media'

Celebrating Michael Savage"s 75th birthday, Matt Drudge, founder of the largest news aggregator site in the world, DrudgeReport.com, paid him a surprise visit and guest hosted for a short while, fielding some calls and offering his opinion on the ongoing struggle between Trump versus the world.

Almost begrudgingly, Drudge declared that Trump, single handedly, saved the main stream media from death spiraling amidst catastrophic ratings -- thanks to public disinterest. Because of Trump, Drudge believes, the opposition has "consolidated", "following every bouncing ball", which has created a revitalization in the media not seen in years.

“I’m getting a little bit nervous about the media situation. Do you know, the media was near death. The New York Times was hanging on the short hairs. Do you know Vanity Fair was going under. CNN barely had a fraction,” Drudge said during an appearance on Michael Savage’s radio show.

Case in point, the share prices for all of the major media companies are sharply higher this year.

Being a provider of both financial and political news, I can tell you, first hand, our finance traffic pales in comparison to the political stuff. People are simply transfixed by this administration, because the man, Donald Trump, love him or hate him, is a lightening rod for controversy. We"re living through a reality show, the White House edition, and the media loves it.

Drudge also touched on Twitter, suggesting their audience is inflated and not that big. Largely, it"s an echo chamber for junkies.

Twitter"s audience isn"t that big. It"s for junkies.

Lastly, he cited recent Rasmussen poll numbers that showed Trump with a 44% approval rating. He said he trusted Rasmussen and that the bad polling data was "a danger" for Trump and a consequence of having been dealt a bad hand, with everyone working in concert against the President. Drudge believes taking some time away from the limelight would do the President some good, judging the tree by the fruit it produces.

Drudge is worried about Trump"s poll numbers.

Matt Drudge: "Rand Paul Is America's Best Senator"

Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge does not personally tweet too often, so when he does, it is either when something has infuriated him or, more rarely, when he has words of affirmation.  Today it was the latter, when Drudge praised Senator Rand Paul, tweeting that he had an "Intriguing lunch in hill office of America"s best senator, Rand Paul. He"s bold, brave and has somehow kept his heart in such a corrupt city."

While according to many, Drudge was a driving force behind the Trump election, Drudge has been very outspoken recently about his displeasure with the GOP.

In early February, Drudge tweeted that the "Republican party should be sued for fraud. NO discussion of tax cuts now. Just lots of crazy. Back to basics, guys!" and "No Obamacare repeal, tax cuts! But Republicans vote to shut Warren? Only know how to be opposition not lead! DANGER "

One month later, Drudge was even more direct, saying "Republicans lied about wanting tax cuts. Can we get our votes back?"

Then, last Thursday, amid the struggle to rally enough Republican votes to pass an ObamaCare repeal-and-replace plan, he tweeted, "The swamp drains you," which many saw as a jab at President Trump"s campaign pledge to "drain the swamp."

As The Hill notes, this was not the first time he"s singled Paul in a favorable light: earlier this month the Drudge Report featured a headline touting, "The return of Rand Paul," which was viewed as a warning to moderate Republicans. The headline linked to a Washington Examiner story that outlined Paul"s problems with the GOP"s healthcare bill.

Rand Paul has consistently called for repeaking Obamacare first, and worrying how to replace it later. So far this strategy has proven unsuccessful.
