the sinking ship
America Has an Apex Predator Problem

Donna
Brazile’s article published in Politico earlier today is one of the
most important things written in 2017 when it comes to political
impact going forward. Many have pointed out that she’s a know liar
(true), and have also questioned her motivations for writing this
blockbuster article. While it’s important to acknowledge these
things, they aren’t particularly relevant when it comes to impact.
In
no uncertain terms, Donna Brazile provides detailed claims about how
the Hillary Clinton campaign nefariously bribed the DNC with tens of
millions of dollars all the way back to 2015 in an attempt to take
over the organization. They succeeded. This isn’t hearsay, she
discusses specific campaign financing documents and when they were
created. Long story short, there’s a lot of meat on the bones to
these allegations, and if her claims are lies, this should be easily
demonstrated and quickly. I’ll be waiting.
Personally,
I think everything she alleges is probably true, and it’s
absolutely devastating to the Democratic Party as well as Hillary
Clinton personally. We now know for certain that the real reason
Donald Trump is President has nothing to do with Russia, but
everything to do with Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
Without
further ado, here are some key excerpts from this absolute must read
article, Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC:
The
Saturday morning after the convention in July, I called Gary Gensler,
the chief financial officer of Hillary’s campaign. He wasted no
words. He told me the Democratic Party was broke and $2 million in
debt.
“What?”
I screamed. “I am an officer of the party and they’ve been
telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no
problems.”
That
wasn’t true, he said. Officials from Hillary’s campaign had taken
a look at the DNC’s books. Obama left the party $24 million in
debt—$15 million in bank debt and more than $8 million owed to
vendors after the 2012 campaign and had been paying that off very
slowly. Obama’s campaign was not scheduled to pay it off until
2016. Hillary for America (the campaign) and the Hillary Victory Fund
(its joint fundraising vehicle with the DNC) had taken care of 80
percent of the remaining debt in 2016, about $10 million, and had
placed the party on an allowance.
If
I didn’t know about this, I assumed that none of the other officers
knew about it, either. That was just Debbie’s way. In my experience
she didn’t come to the officers of the DNC for advice and counsel.
She seemed to make decisions on her own and let us know at the last
minute what she had decided, as she had done when she told us about
the hacking only minutes before the Washington Post broke the news.
On
the phone Gary told me the DNC had needed a $2 million loan, which
the campaign had arranged.
“No!
That can’t be true!” I said. “The party cannot take out a loan
without the unanimous agreement of all of the officers.”
“Gary,
how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t
know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described
the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which
seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had
the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its
basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a
fund-raising clearing house. Under FEC law, an individual can
contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign.
But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and
a party’s national committee.
Individuals
who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign
could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory
Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the thirty-two
states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund
agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be
deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly
after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that
state, but all the other states funneled that m
It’s
always the same people who scream about money laundering who do stuff
like this.
“Wait,”
I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the
nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary
has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”…
“What’s
the burn rate, Gary?” I asked. “How much money do we need every
month to fund the party?”
The
burn rate was $3.5 million to $4 million a month, he said.
I
gasped. I had a pretty good sense of the DNC’s operations after
having served as interim chair five years earlier. Back then the
monthly expenses were half that. What had happened? The party chair
usually shrinks the staff between presidential election campaigns,
but Debbie had chosen not to do that. She had stuck lots of
consultants on the DNC payroll, and Obama’s consultants were being
financed by the DNC, too.
The
“resistance” gravy train in action.
Right
around the time of the convention, the leaked emails revealed
Hillary’s campaign was grabbing money from the state parties for
its own purposes, leaving the states with very little to support
down-ballot races. A Politico story published on May 2, 2016,
described the big fund-raising vehicle she had launched through the
states the summer before, quoting a vow she had made to rebuild “the
party from the ground up … when our state parties are strong, we
win. That’s what will happen.”
Yet
the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they
had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign
was holding, just as Gary had described to me when he and I talked in
August. When the Politico story described this arrangement as
“essentially … money laundering” for the Clinton campaign,
Hillary’s people were outraged at being accused of doing something
shady. Bernie’s people were angry for their own reasons, saying
this was part of a calculated strategy to throw the nomination to
Hillary.
When
I got back from a vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, I at last found
the document that described it all: the Joint Fund-Raising Agreement
between the DNC, the Hillary Victory Fund, and Hillary for America.
The
agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby
Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for
raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the
party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign
had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications
director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff.
The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all
other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.
I
had been wondering why it was that I couldn’t write a press release
without passing it by Brooklyn. Well, here was the answer.
When
the party chooses the nominee, the custom is that the candidate’s
team starts to exercise more control over the party. If the party has
an incumbent candidate, as was the case with Clinton in 1996 or Obama
in 2012, this kind of arrangement is seamless because the party
already is under the control of the president. When you have an open
contest without an incumbent and competitive primaries, the party
comes under the candidate’s control only after the nominee is
certain. When I was manager of Gore’s campaign in 2000, we started
inserting our people into the DNC in June. This victory fund
agreement, however, had been signed in August 2015, just four months
after Hillary announced her candidacy and nearly a year before she
officially had the nomination.
All
the way back to 2015. Simply incredible. It’s clear that Hillary
had been crowned with the nomination far ahead of time, which
explains the disgust and vitriol directed at the Sanders campaign.
How dare they?
This
story is absolutely huge. I don’t care what her motivations are,
just as the source of Wikileaks’ emails is less important that what
they actually say. I care about facts, and I want the American public
to know exact how corrupt and shady the most powerful people in this
country really are. The more minions and underlings that come out and
expose the practices of their bosses, the better. I hope this is just
the beginning of a trend.
Elites turning on each other is the best thing ever.
I completely encourage it.
Divide and conquer them into oblivion.
Donna Brazile is a minion. She harmed the country, yes, but still a minion.
Hillary Clinton is an apex predator. That's where we must focus.

America
has an apex predator class that knows no political party. They are
Democrats and they are Republicans. They run banks on Wall Street as
well as intelligence contractors clustered around Washington D.C.
They own lobbying firms and pharmaceutical companies. They are at the
top of every single industry if you look closely enough, and like any
apex predator, they need an endless supply of gullible and vulnerable
prey.
We
are the prey and it’s way past time to turn the tables on them
