*** The Powers that be did not want you to read this. They changed the schedule from 1 am to 1:30 am which coincided with another blog. That meant they would both come up at once and since this was first, that meant it would NOT be showing on the site, not at all. You would have to know it existed and then seek it out to find it. They do this to me all the time, but usually I can catch it before it happens. Unfortunately, I missed this one and we will only have about 10 minutes of it up by itself and showing. Please read it, since this woman wants to be President and we would have to live with whatever that will mean, given her background OF DECEPTION AND CORRUPTION. Biden is no different, just more blackmailed and under control of the khazars or he would never have made it to VP.
Vatic Note: Having watched Hitlary over these very many years since the Governorship of Arkansas and all the blogs we have done, I find she has become one of those politicians we are being exposed to now, and that is one that has no moral core, only political considerations and breaking the law to achieve an objective, is not new to her what so ever. Just ask her boss on the Nixon investigation committee where she served as a young lawyer. He fired her for her corruption.
Unfortunately, without exception, all politicians with maybe one or two exceptions, are the same way and thus it has become the new standard for holding public office. That is why the powers that be and their owned press have gone after Donald Trump. He may have a huge ego, but so does Hitlary, and all other politicians, but at least he is sufficiently confident in himself to finance his own campaign so he can speak truth to power. We have not seen that in such a long time, such that we didn't even know it had existed at one time in our system.
It was so refreshing to listen to his honest opinions that it became patently clear that we have been desensitized to truth telling. Only when it was done by Trump did we realize just how long it had been since we had anyone remotely like him. I am glad we have a choice now between all those running who are politically correct, and those that speak truth regardless of the consequences. Lets hope the khazars do not kill him like they did JFK when he did away with the federal reserve.
FUND RAISING TIME AGAIN. Its one day past our normal time due to the internet being down here in my town for almost 2 days now. We could not do our blogs or fund raising campaign. Now we are back up and asking for donations toward our $240 deficit this month. If you can afford it, we appeal to you to donate to our cause to keep truth exposed and lies distroyed so we can prepare based on reality.... so help us do that so we can stay on the net to over come the treason being done by our MSM, both left and right.
Thank you for all your support over these many years. I am still trying to find a way to fund this deficit without fund raising. So far, no luck, but I am not giving up, so hang with us until we do. Thank you again and God bless you and your family.
The Hole in Hillary’s Flip-Flop Excuse
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/democratic-debate-hillary-clinton-flip-flop-213247
By JACK SHAFER, Politico, October 14, 2015 Hillary Clinton has a propensity to change her mind on big issues. She has reversed her positions on gay marriage, immigration, gun control, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, mass incarceration and the Iraq War, and some believe her recent stand on the Keystone XL pipeline constitutes a flip, too.
When CNN moderator Anderson Cooper called Clinton on her flip-floppery in Tuesday night’s presidential debate (“Will you say anything to get elected?” he asked), she defended her policy somersaults as expressions of political thoughtfulness rather than weakness.
“Well, actually, I have been very consistent,” Clinton said, arguing her unyielding fealty to “the same values and principles” over her entire life. “But like most human beings—including those of us who run for office—I do absorb new information. I do look at what’s happening in the world.” It is the information that changes, she led her questioner to understand, and when that new information surfaces, she folds it into her existing “values and principles.”

By JACK SHAFER, Politico, October 14, 2015
When CNN moderator Anderson Cooper called Clinton on her flip-floppery in Tuesday night’s presidential debate (“Will you say anything to get elected?” he asked), she defended her policy somersaults as expressions of political thoughtfulness rather than weakness.
“Well, actually, I have been very consistent,” Clinton said, arguing her unyielding fealty to “the same values and principles” over her entire life. “But like most human beings—including those of us who run for office—I do absorb new information. I do look at what’s happening in the world.” It is the information that changes, she led her questioner to understand, and when that new information surfaces, she folds it into her existing “values and principles.”
Clinton’s response, which portrayed changed views as consistency, mirrored the one she gave Chuck Todd two weeks ago on Meet the Press. Todd asked Clinton whether her positions change “out of political expediency.” She answered:
"I don’t think it reflects how people who are thoughtful actually conduct their lives. I mean, if we don’t learn, if we don’t, you know, make decisions based on the best information we have available, well, you know, that’s regrettable. And what I’ve always tried to do is to say, “OK, what is the best decision that I can think about making?”
Everybody agrees that changing facts can justify a change in one’s view. But Clinton’s insistence that learning about “new” or “better” information propels her reassessments prompts this question: What was the new information?
To my knowledge, no new “information” about gay marriage emerged from the day she endorsed civil unions for same-sex couples to the day she demanded the right to same-sex marriage. The immigration, gun control and mass-incarceration issues have been similarly unrippled by shocking new findings. Likewise, the information required to make a stand against the Iraq War was not hidden. Other senators found it and took that position!
Perhaps the anti-war information escaped Clinton’s notice—in which case, bad on her—or perhaps she viewed it and decided not to act on it—in which case, double-bad on her. And who among us had a better vantage from which to assemble an encyclopedic view on the Trans-Pacific Partnership than Clinton? She praised it endlessly while secretary of state, but pulled a moonshiner’s turn last week to skedaddle away from it.
If Clinton lived in Gobles, Michigan, had no library card and no Internet connection, we could accept her new-information excuse. But for the past 25 years, Clinton has had some of the best researchers at her disposal—a private staff, a campaign staff, the wizards at the State Department staff, a senatorial staff, the busy beavers from the Congressional Research Service and the White House staff.
And, in fact, every indication and story we know about Hillary Clinton’s policy work belabors just how much she studies and learns. So if new or better information has been the impetus for her policy shifts, she must concede that she has a fat history of taking the wrong position in the early going and then requiring a re-do. The constant need for re-dos appears to indicate that she’d make a lousy surgeon and a bad 3 a.m. president.
Is Clinton lazy? Inattentive? Cognitively impaired? Of course not. Nor does she really view the major issues as uncharted continents that require additional exploring. She knows what she thinks about most things, and what she thinks is heavily guided by what the “new information” contained in polls and political pressure tell her to think. In this regard, she’s more like other politicians than unlike them.
Politics demands malleable mathematics from its practitioners.
During President Bill Clinton’s administration, political flexibility was associated with triangulation—that is, taking a position that was above right or left and allowed Clinton to cherry-pick from his foes’ ideas and incorporate them into his own. Instead of triangulating, Hillary Clinton shapeshifts, guided less by a grand ideology and more by grand ambition. What good is consistency if it doesn’t bring you to power?
Every politician flip-flops. (Every politician except Bernie Sanders, that is.) But Clinton flip-flops so frequently that course changes have become her signature move. As long as there is new or better information to consult—and when isn’t there?—none of Clinton’s positions can be considered fixed or even rooted.
Reversing the Beats, who preached “First Thought, Best Thought,” Clinton has built a campaign on the mantra “Last Thought, Best Thought.” No slave to ideology—even her own progressive ideology—she promises to make every day of her presidency a surprise. Unless, of course, new information intrudes.
