Media Steps in to Declare The Winner (Before the Polls Close)
How to write about this 2016 election season? Situation changing rapidly while staying the same?The Great Whore of Iraq |
California’s voters can take heart: not only has Democracy
been dangled like a carrot before their noses, to be repeatedly withdrawn just
as their jaws open to take a nice big bite, but up to half a million California
voters may have been purged,
particularly those who have changed their registration—as many Bernie voters
saw fit to do.
The election train has been accelerating toward the
proverbial brick wall for a long time. It reached cruising speed some time ago.
It is now on that final stretch just before….

•a piece of yesterday’s fish being offered as “the first
female candidate” which women will find irresistible bait despite her shrill war mongering. Wars can
be overlooked as an issue: America has been at war since the founding except
for 21 (yes, that’s twenty-one) years of peace. Now U.S./NATO missiles are
ringing Russia, potentially triggering a nuclear war, war mongering is barely a
problem until the warmonger-in-chiefess takes office.
•which she is guaranteed to do by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and
a clutch of super duper delegates deciding
where that Democratic carrot gets dangled next (and keeps you, sucker,
in the happy illusion that your vote remotely counts).
•which she is guaranteed to do by manipulation of voter
purging and caging and discouragement in states like New York (more than 100,000 votes were
purged just in Brooklyn alone) and Arizona.
•Shortly
after she launched her presidential campaign, and following the assassination of
Goldman Prize winning activist, Berta Cáceres, Clinton deleted any and all
references to the 2009 Honduran coup which she removed from the paperback
edition of her memoir Hard Choices.
•and for comic relief, Clinton went on record promoting transparency in government by making sure reporters couldn’t hear her speech at a fund-raising event by turning up a white noise machine.
It reminded me of Cardinal Mazzarin. For that we have to go back to the 17th
Century. In France (where he was hated) a popular song excoriated him. Seeing
opportunity, he had broadsides printed with the words and lyrics and sold them
for good money. “If they gonna sing, they gotta pay,” he is reported to have said. He was Italian through and through.
