Wikipedia and Wikileaks.Europe is Helpless Pathetic, Feckless Bernie Drinks Hillary's Hemlock! Taco Bowls- PC'ism At Its Democrat Best!

                                                                                        Given honorary position as Chairperson of                                                                                                          of Hillary's Campaign.

This was sent to me by a close friend and fellow memo reader whose technical knowledge and terminology shows how 19th century I am. As I have said time and again, I do not even own or want a cell phone.  Bad me!

:This was in reference previous memo: "Dick, you are conflating Wikipedia and Wikileaks, two very different animals. 

A "wiki" is just a generic tech term referring to a means of sharing information.  Wikipedia and Wikileaks are two flavors of this technique. "

Sent to me by a dear friend and fellow memo reader and after reading  it placed me in a conundrum, ie. do I post or not?  (See 1 below.)
===
 According to Bret Stephens, Europe is basically helpless. (See 2 below.)
=== 
The Hillary fix was in from the git go so now what did we learn? (See 3 below.)

What is so revealing is that Hillary gutted Bernie and yet this pathetic weakling Socialist is going to endorse her.

He thinks so little of his own effort and those who supported him that he has decided to cave and drink Hillary's hemlock.

Romney copped out when he ran and now we have Bernie, pathetic feckless Bernie. Like him or not, don't mess with Trump because he will come at you swinging.

Now let's hear from the "Taco Bowls!" 

Is the party of the Politically Correct just a bunch of frauds and hypocrites. Is the mask finally coming off? (See 4 below.)

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably  never need one again."   The definition of the word Conundrum is:  Something that is puzzling or confusing.   Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.  2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.   4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.   5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.   6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.   Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.

A civilization that believes in nothing will ultimately submit to anything.

By Bret Stephens

At last count, members of the European Union spent more than $200 billion a year on defense, fielded 

more than 2,000 jet fighters and 500 naval ships, and employed some 1.4 million military personnel. 

More than a million police officers also walk Europe’s streets. Yet in the face of an Islamist menace the 

Continent seems helpless. Is it?

Was France helpless in May 1940?

Let’s stipulate that a van barreling down a seaside promenade isn’t a Panzer division, and that a few 

thousand ISIS fighters scattered from Mosul to Marseilles isn’t another Wehrmacht. But as in France in 

1940, Europe today displays the same combination of doctrinal rigidity and loss of will that allowed an Allied 

army of 144 divisions to be routed by the Germans in six weeks. The Maginot Line of “European values”

 won’t prevail over people who recognize none of those values.

So much was made clear by French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who remarked after the Nice attack that

“France is going to have to live with terrorism.” This may have been intended as a statement of fact but it 

came across as an admission that his government isn’t about to rally the public to a campaign of blood, toil, 

tears and sweat against ISIS—another premature capitulation in a country that has known them before.

Mr. Valls was later booed at a memorial service for the Nice victims. It would be heartening to think this was

because he and his boss, President François Hollande, have failed to forge a strategy to destroy ISIS. But 

the public’s objection was that there hadn’t been enough cops along the Promenade des Anglais to stop the 

attack. In soccer terms, it’s a complaint about the failure of defense, not the lack of a proper offense.

Then there is Germany, site of three terror attacks in a week. It seems almost like a past epoch that 

Germans welcomed a million Middle Eastern migrants in an ecstasy of moral self-congratulation, led by 

Angela Merkel’s chant of “We can do it!” Last summer’s slogan now sounds as dated and hollow as Barack 

Obama’s “Yes we can!”

Now Germany will have to confront a terror threat that will make the Baader-Meinhof gang of the 1970s seem

trivial. The German state is stronger and smarter than the French one, but it also surrenders more easily to 

moral intimidation. The idea of national self-preservation at all costs will always be debatable

 in a country seeking to expiate an inexpiatable sin.

Thus the question of whether Europe is helpless. At its 1980s peak, under François Mitterrand and Helmut 

Kohl, the European project combined German economic strength and French confidence in power politics. 

Today, it mixes French political weakness with German moral solipsism. This is a formula for rapid 

civilizational decline, however many economic or military resources the EU may have at its disposal.

Can the decline be stopped? Yes, but that would require a great unlearning of the political mythologies on 

which modern Europe was built.Among those mythologies: that the European Union is the result of a 

postwar moral commitment to peace; that Christianity is of merely historical importance to European 

identity; that there’s no such thing as a military solution; that one’s country isn’t worth fighting for; that 

honor is atavistic and tolerance is the supreme value. People who believe in nothing, including themselves, 

will ultimately submit to anything.

The alternative is a recognition that Europe’s long peace depended on the presence of American military 

power, and that the retreat of that power will require Europeans to defend themselves. Europe will also have

to figure out how to apply power not symbolically, as it now does, but strategically, in pursuit of difficult 

objectives. That could start with the destruction of ISIS in Libya.

More important, Europeans will have to learn that powerlessness can be as corrupting as power—and much 

more dangerous. The storm of terror that is descending on Europe will not end in some new politics of 

inclusion, community outreach, more foreign aid or one of Mrs. Merkel’s diplomatic Rube Goldbergs. It will 

end in rivers of blood. Theirs or yours?

In all this, the best guide to how Europe can find its way to safety is the country it has spent the best part of

the last 50 years lecturing and vilifying: Israel. For now, it’s the only country in the West that refuses to risk 

the safety of its citizens on someone else’s notion of human rights or altar of peace.

Europeans will no doubt look to Israel for tactical tips in the battle against terrorism—crowd management 

techniques and so on—but what they really need to learn from the Jewish state is the moral lesson. Namely,

that identity can be a great preserver of liberty, and that free societies cannot survive through progressive 

accommodations to barbarians.

5 things we learned from the leaked DNC e-mails

From Michael Covel, Editor, Trend Following:
Are you “Ready for Hillary”? 

It doesn’t matter. She’s in charge. You, the proletariat, have no choice. 

That also means the Democratic primary voters have no choice either. The empty pantsuit always gets what she wants. 

With last Friday’s unauthorized leak of secret Democratic National Committee emails, it’s clear that the Democratic primaries were a contrived sham. 

Clinton’s cronies made sure she was the winner before the first vote was cast. 

And now, thanks to Putin’s Russia via Wikileaks, the old-style Chicago way to “win” an election is on full display as a “dirty politics” case study.

Anatomy of a Scam

Let’s break this down into its component parts… 

Throughout the primaries, Bernie Sanders repeatedly accused the DNC of rigging primaries in favor of Clinton. 

His campaign knew the process was fictitious, but they lacked hard evidence. 

Now the proof has been dropped… 

In 19,000+ DNC emails released by Wikileaks late last week, the detailed blueprint of exactly how to steal a nomination is revealed. 

Instead of an impartial process where Democratic voters could select the candidate of their choice, DNC officials pretended there was a primary process, selected Clinton because they could, and then made Sanders roll over, look like a fool and finally endorse the Queen. 

You have to admire the chutzpah of how Clinton operates.
Play to win, rules be damned. 

Here are some of her operative’s “techniques” for eliminating the Sanders’ threat. And yes, this is straight out of “House of Cards”…

1. Hacked emails revealed DNC officials collaborated with the Clinton campaign months before her actual victory when her chance of winning was still maybe 50%.
2. Emails from DNC communications director Luis Miranda indicated he was pushing negative story angles on Sanders to reporters at Politico and the Wall Street Journal.
3. “Unbiased” DNC officials actively worked with Clinton’s campaign to refute Sanders’ allegations against Clinton.
4. The DNC used spies within the Sanders campaign to obtain strategic information for Clinton’s use.
5. The DNC tried to attack Sanders over his Jewish beliefs and questioned if he was an atheist to smear him with Southern Baptist voters. 

Sound impartial? Sure, if you’re Chelsea Clinton. 

Don’t kid yourself. The fix was always in. DNC officials made sure Sanders was eliminated African dictator-style.

Hillary’s Gangster Move

Look, occasionally, I’ll get an email telling me that I’m making too much of Clintocracy… or that I’m a conspiracy theorist. 

My public response: Are you that naïve? 

My private thought: Another brain-dead lemming. 

Consider this DNC totalitarian take down of Grandpa Bernie. There’s no explaining away what’s in these emails. 

Clinton’s political goon squad subverted the democratic process in a presidential primary to make sure she won. 

Read the emails.
It’s plain as day to anyone, on the right or left. Let me be even blunter: It’s like O.J. handing over the bloody knife. 

But even though the truth’s now out, no one has the power to stop any of this… 

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned this weekend, falling on her sword to great fanfare. And then within hours she was hired as an “honorary chair” to the Clinton campaign. 

Wasserman Schultz knows how the game is played. She knows where the bodies are buried and who pays the bills. So Clinton took the next logical step and bought her silence – while the world watched.
That’s a straight up “Sopranos” move. Doing it in your face and with that sickening Clinton cackle. 

The bottom line is it has never been more evident that we have a rigged system that places insane power in the hands of a small, privileged ruling class. We don’t have a functioning republic, let alone a viable democracy. 

As since you can now see behind the curtain at the DNC, you know the elites will do whatever it takes to maintain their power and use that power to take down their enemies… 

To them, an outright subversion of the Constitution is no matter. Remember when it was just obscene cattle futures windfalls for the Clinton's? Oh my, have they grown! 

They’ve gotten away with it all for so long they don’t care that you know what they do, how they do it or how rich they get from it. 

They know you can’t do a damn thing about it, so they actually have fun rubbing your nose in it and then asking how it smells. 

Some may stick their heads in the sand, pretend this twisted reality doesn’t exist and bend over and take it. But I refuse to sacrifice my dignity to join the “kumbaya” crowd. 

Changing this mess in the voting booth is a long shot because the Deep State tentacles squeeze from every direction. 

You saw how Obama deployed the IRS to eliminate political opposition? Obama was JV. The Clinton's are varsity—and you know it. 

The only way to stop this rank cronyism is to call it out loudly by name… wherever and whenever it exists. 

And frankly, I don’t care if that makes some uncomfortable.
You want to lick the boot? Go for it. 

Regards, 

Michael Covel

Democrats ROCKED After ‘Racist’ Email Exposes What They REALLY Think of Latino Voters

by Brooke Bosca | Top Right News

Republicans have been asking for years: when will minority groups finally get that the Democrats look down on them and only see them as sheep who will always vote for them?

Well this might finally be the year, and one new Wikileaks-exposed email is already making Hispanics furious.

It turns out the Democrats cynically refer to Latino voters as “taco bowls.”

DNC uses their own words to destroy themselves.  This is what they think of their supporters.

Hours before the DNC  Convention convenes, this email is found within the Wikileaks email blast — it comes straight from the DNC.
