Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign hints that agreeing to refrain from campaigning in outlaw Florida and Michigan primaries is a noble sacrifice bowing to party rules. Some of the news media bought into that, with The New York Times reporting: "The decision seemed to dash any hopes of Mrs. Clinton relying on a strong showing in Florida as a springboard to the nomination." Rather, her forbearance looks like a windfall for the Democratic front-runner.

Democratic consultant Bob Shrum, who does not have a candidate this time around, correctly interpreted the decision by Clinton and her two principal competitors, Barack Obama and John Edwards, to follow the Democratic National Committee (DNC) rules. On NBC’s "Meet the Press" last Sunday, Shrum said: "That actually, in a perverse way" could "help Sen. Clinton. If no one campaigns and she wins . . . the primary in Florida, wins the primary in Michigan, that could have a knockout effect."

The Clinton camp is saying, "Please don’t throw me into the brier patch." Being forced to stay out of Florida and Michigan empowers Clinton’s vastly superior name identification in the two high population states and overrules potential defeats in lower population Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. This poses a dilemma for Sen. Obama, Clinton’s main challenger, that key supporters admit he cannot resolve. Obama has also promised not to campaign in the excluded states, but he likely cannot win there without campaigning.
While Clinton’s backers trumpet her inevitability as the anointed Democratic candidate lengthening her lead over Obama in national polls, she faces hotly competitive races in early primary states. She is measurably more popular in states where she has not campaigned than in primary states where she has, replicating the condition of Robert J. Dole, the anointed Republican candidate in 1996.

To bring you up to speed… From Newsmax:

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is backing a plan to burn old tires to supply energy to an upstate New York paper mill that will produce clouds of acrid black smoke - a proposal that has nearby residents in a panic over potential health risks.

In an April 13 letter to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, Clinton urged that the agency approve a two-week test burn at International Paper’s Ticonderoga, N.Y., mill – adjacent to environmentally pristine Lake Champlain.

"I know that some are concerned about the potential air quality impact of burning tires at the mill," she wrote, before explaining that she agreed with IP’s claims that pollution from the tire smoke won’t be too harmful.

The top Democrat said the health risks were worth taking for the good of the local economy.

"I am strongly committed to working to ensure that IP’s Ticonderoga mill continues to thrive and provide hundreds of good-paying jobs in Ticonderoga and the surrounding communities for generations," she explained.

Clinton’s support for the tire burn has prompted heated protest from Vermont Gov. James Douglas, whose constituents live downwind of the Ticonderoga plant.

"Governor Douglas believes we need people in the United States Senate who understand how important it is to protect and improve our environment," his press secretary blasted, in quotes picked up by the Barre Montpelier Times Argus.

Ironically, Sen. Clinton made air quality a cause celebre two years ago when she accused the Bush adminsitration of covering up dangerous levels of toxic air at Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attack.

"[The EPA] knew and they didn’t tell us the truth and the White House told them not to tell us the truth," the top Democrat fumed at the time.

"This is a very big issue," she continued. "It not only has to do with the health and safety of the people I represent, it has to do with the credibility and trust of this entire government."

Like her fellow Democrats, the tire-burn-backing Clinton opposes drilling in ANWR.

Victory in Washington, Tragedy at Home
Published by jamiehenn, November 10th, 2006

This week, International Paper (IP) began to burn tires in its paper mill in Ticonderoga, New York. “People are calling in tears that they can smell burn rubber at their homes and it is making them ill, causing asthma attacks in people who don’t even have asthma,” writes Barbara Ernst. At local schools, outdoor recess has been canceled because it is unsafe for children to play outside. After three years of fighting against IP, citizens here in Vermont are stunned that this could be happening, and happening here. We just elected a independent/socialist to U.S. Senate, New York state re-elected Hillary Clinton as their senator, and yet our children cannot play outside because of air pollution. And so, while we celebrate the Democrats return to our highest offices, we are reminded that building the society we want is going to take more than elections.

The Clinton name is almost as big as the Titanic itself. In nearly every way grandiose, the moniker is seemingly always attracting money, power, and celebrity.

 In fact, had the Clintons been around in 1912, one can almost see them carrying first class passenger tickets (though not through the binoculars missing from the lookouts’ crow’s nest) as they boarded the then famous ship for what is known today as the most infamous maritime voyage.

They may just be as doomed. The Equal Justice Foundation, a foundation that supports whistle blowers, is sponsoring the first ever documentary on Hillary Clinton which could reveal an iceberg capable of doing as much damage to the Clintons as was done to that early 20th century luxury liner that many believe was commandeered by hubris. EJF is launching its support for Clinton mega-donor turned whistle blower Peter Paul’s landmark civil suit Paul v Clinton with its “Truth Boat Hillary” campaign, intended to publicize the mountain of evidence it has assembled on the frauds Hillary directed to win and keep her Senate seat.

However, similar to Captain Smith’s antipathy for informing those onboard of the dangers inherent in the seas they were sailing, virtually all of today’s mainstream media outlets are equally averse to informing us, the public, about the truth. Further irony is that many believe Smith was intimidated by engineers, hell bent on realizing their own agenda. If you talk to the AP, the L.A. Times, or a slew of other supposed beacons of journalistic truth, a civil fraud lawsuit involving massive federal election law violations is dismissed (though the Washington Post will do a story on Hillary’s cleavage appearing on C-SPAN2). The truth is that both Clintons being named as defendants in a lawsuit should be news all by itself and for some reason it’s not. Are such news outlets being intimidated as well?

The tip of the iceberg consists of arguments about the false reporting of the amount, origin, and hard or soft money characterization of Peter Franklin Paul’s more than $1.2 million in donations to Bill and Hillary (manifested in the gala). However, what lies underneath the surface appears to be a much larger, darker, colder and harder truth. Election law fraud, obstruction of justice, perjury, suborning of perjury, the illegal solicitation and coordination of the money for a fundraiser, who was involved, how much money was involved, and the videotape that appears to corroborate all of it may have dealt a lethal blow to the USS Clinton. So if none of the mainstream media outlets will cover it, how will it get exposed?

“Look….On the horizon. Something’s headed this way. Could it be the Blog Armada?”

HERE is the link for Hillary’s fourth fraudulent FEC report regarding her 2000 Senate campaign. Nowhere can it be found that Hillary either declared or returned $27,000 from Japanese national Tendo Oto.

As a foreign national, Oto was neither allowed to attend or give money to a federal fundraiser. He paid $2,000 for two concert tickets and $25,000 for the dinner afterward for himself and his interpreter, Jonathon Rogers.

Brian Ross did a 20/20 story in 2001 that showed Oto attending the fundraiser and sitting right behind the president and first lady. It is not a secret.

Because he had no social security number, Oto could not be vetted. He showed up with his Japanese camera crew. The Clintons told the Secret Service to stand down, and Oto was allowed to attend.

I have phoned counsel for Hillary 2000 campaign, Brian Svoboda, and am awaiting a response. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.

If John Edwards can challenge Hillary on $20,000 in donations from Rupert Murdoch and friends, perhaps it is about time that he or Sen. Obama challenge Hillary on this illegal donation. What’s wrong guys? Are you scared of her?

Maybe it is even time for one mainstream media journalist anywhere in these United States to ask Hillary about it. No, I guess that won’t happen.

Doug From Upland writes:

Hillary Clinton’s counsel, David Kendall, today attempted to avoid oral arguments scheduled for the California Court of Appeals on Sept. 7, 2007 in the historic civil case, Paul v Clinton.

Kendall had his affiliate counsel in Los Angeles, Jan Norman, contact Peter Paul’s counsel.

Norman told Collette Wilson of the United States Justice Foundation, "I got word from the boys back East that they would be willing to waive oral arguments in the case." (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Wilson’s response, was a very quick, "No thanks."

Norman finished with, "Well, I didn’t think so, but I thought I’d ask." (Another BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Of course Kendall doesn’t want to engage in oral arguments before the three-judge panel. He is going to have to tell them why his client is not a felon and the anti-SLAPP provision that removed her as a defendant at the superior court level should stand.

After a two-year battle for return of documentation and home videos, Peter finally was given possession of a 5-minute conference call on tape with Hillary that he calls the "smoking gun video." On that video, Hillary is shown to be soliciting and participating in a hard money, in-kind contribution that would ultimately be more than $1.6 million.

The Fraudulent Senator: Part 3 of a 7 Part Series

By Justin Darr

In the final years of the Clinton Presidency, Hollywood producer and entrepreneur, Peter Paul, attempted to recruit outgoing President Bill Clinton to take a seat on the Board of Directors of Stan Lee Media, the innovative on-line animation company Paul co-founded in 1999.

Paul’s motives were simple.  He wanted to “…hire an ex-President to promote a company that inspired and motivated adolescents.”  To accomplish this, Paul organized an offer to Clinton of $17 million in cash, stock, and donations to the Clinton Library.  Well worth the price when you consider the notoriety and prestige Stan Lee Media would have gained if Clinton joined the company.

However, what Peter Paul got was a guided tour of the putrid underbelly of Clintonian politics.  A place where the powerful openly manipulate our justice and political systems for their own personal gain, conspire to destroy anyone who stands in their way. They systematically ignore the laws, and standards of morality and common decency that apply to the rest of us.  Peter Paul discovered the hard way that there are two systems of justice in America:  One for the Clintons, and another for the rest of us.

The Fraudulent Senator: Part 2 of a 7 Part Series

Peter Paul is a lot like Paula Jones, the young Arkansas housewife whose sexual-harassment lawsuit resulted in President Clinton’s impeachment, disbarment, a mountain of “go away” money, and eternal ignominy.

But while Mrs. Jones was the arch female version of little David successfully vanquishing the Goliath of a sitting president, Mr. Paul – a successful international lawyer, businessman, power player and Goliath in his own right – is now taking on the former president and his wife Hillary in what is being called the largest campaign-finance fraud case in the history of the United States.

But who is Peter Paul? To listen to Hillary’s see-no-evil supporters and listen to their old media echo chamber – all of whom are intent on discrediting Mr. Paul and his Detective Javert-like pursuit of New York’s junior senator – is to believe that Mr. Paul is solely distinguished by his ethical and legal lapses, specifically two convictions and confession of securities violations. It is also to stretch one’s imagination to believe that his target is both ethically and legally above reproach.

As it turns out, the playing field of these antagonists is quite level (see Part I of this series, “The Fraudulent Senator – The Scandal Queen”).

From StrikebackUSA:

Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most feared politician in America. She was the center of the political maelstrom that was the Clinton Administration. She was at the heart of every major scandal. These important scandals never seemed to gain any traction. Examples include Chinagate, Filegate, Travelgate the “suicide” of Vince Foster, the plane crash that killed Ron Brown (or was that a gunshot from a .45 that killed Brown, the autopsy will show, wait what autopsy?)  etc. She even covered for Slick Willy when it came to rape allegations.

 The one scandal that “stuck” had to do with biological material stuck on a fat interns dress. Hillary had nothing to do with that sticky mess! The Lewinsky scandal was the one that got Slick impeached. There were so many far more serious scandals that perhaps the Clinton administration let this one “stick’ to defuse the more contentious ones swirling about this “most ethical administration.” Hillary would have to wait eight more years for a turn to be president. The Clintons always planned on 16 years in power.  Read more at www.strikebackusa.com

As far as impeachment went, the political fix was in. There was no way Bill would be convicted and thus he would serve out the remainder of  his second term as president, and continue the slide of the U.S. into the abyss.

If you don’t have a local station that carries Hugh Hewitt, you can listen online.

LISTEN ON FRIDAY TO HUGH HEWITT ON KRLA - BEGINS 3PM PACIFIC

For the first time in a great while Peter Paul will take center stage on a national talk show to discuss Hillary Clinton and the greatest campaign finance fraud in history. I will be joining him on the show.

The Hugh Hewitt show begins at 3pm, Pacific Time. Unless things are changed by the producer, we will be on at around 3:20pm.

Do not miss the show and please pass it on. Perhaps pass it on to members of the mainstream media, including your local reporters.

For those who have been asleep, Hillary has had filed on her behalf four false FEC reports. She has directed an incredible fraud in broad daylight. After a two-year battle with an assistant US ATTY, a smoking gun video was obtained by Peter that shows Hillary’s complicity and solicitation in a $1.6 million illegal hard money, in-kind donation. And here is the most interesting part. Hillary will finally be under oath in the historic civil lawsuit Paul v Clinton.

HILLCAP DOT ORG HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTATION

The candidate who seems to have been running forever and the one who has yet to enter the race are leading their respective nomination contests in a national preference poll by Zogby International.

The latest Zogby survey shows New York Sen. Hillary Clinton with a 37 percent to 25 percent lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards is a distant third at 12 percent, while New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson leads the also-rans with 4 percent.

Clinton’s edge over Obama has shrunk slightly since late May - she has lost two points and Obama has gained 1 percent since that last Zogby poll of the race. Eighteen percent of Democrats remain undecided, the same as in late May.

The survey shows Clinton has picked up steam, especially among younger Democratic voters. She wins 59 percent support among those aged 18-29, up 10 percent since late May. Meanwhile, Edwards has lost significant ground in the same demographic. In fact, lower tier candidate Dennis Kucinich, at 6 percent among those under age 30, has more support than Edwards in that group.

Clinton has also maintained her base of support among moderates, while expanding her support among progressives to 36 percent, up from 31 percent two months ago. Her backing among progressives appears to come out of Obama’s liberal base, as he has slipped from 35 percent to 27 percent in that group.
