An obedient
Democratic National Convention soldier, U.S. Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty has always
eagerly followed orders, according to hacked
emails dumped on the general public by Wikileaks. The dump coincided
with the opening of the Democrat National Nominating Convention in Philadelphia,
the city of brotherly love.
CtNewsJunkie reports that “A majority of the emails involve her [Esty’s}
participation in a DNC conference call with reporters a few months ago
regarding the issue of gun control. The call followed Republican Presidential
nominee Donald Trump’s appearance at the NRA leadership forum.”
The false exclusive
connection between the Republican Party and the National Rifle Association (NRA) – Democrats own guns too --promises
to loom large in the upcoming General Election, owing to the efforts of Connecticut’s
two U.S. Senators, Dick Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, and the state’s all
Democratic U.S. Congressional Delegation.
Democratic campaign
strategy is simple but effective: find an enemy – if one is not available,
create one – make a great show of slaying the designated foe, and hang the
corpse around the neck of your political opponents. Republicans tend to shy away from such brutal political
campaign methods as being barbaric and uncivilized, which is one of the reasons
they continually lose elections to Democrats. However, with the Presidential
nomination of Donald Trump, “the times,” as the prophet Bob Dylan says, “may be
a’changing.”
The NRA, of course,
is not at all responsible for the massive email dump. No matter, Democrats have
found a new demon to divert public attention away from the embarrassing email
texts – Vladimir Putin, Russia’s strongman. It is being whispered in some
corners that the compromising documents were pilfered by Putin operatives and
passed along to Wikileaks, rather as if the origin of the leaks are sufficient
to discredit statements made – without prompting from Russian Secret Service
agents – by grown-up Democrats and operatives in the employ of the
Tricky-Dickey Democratic National Campaign (DNC).
Asked if the emails
were routed to him by Russians, Julian Assange, a prisoner of conscience who
for three years has been entombed in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in an
attempt to avoid repatriation to Sweden where he is wanted on a molestation and
rape complaint, replied that silence on the question was necessary to secure
the privacy of his sources, otherwise the information released by Wikileaks
would cease to flow. Wikileaks, Mr. Assange said, has found it necessary to
surround its data providers with buffers of ambiguity, which are built into the
Wikileaks network. Never formally charged by Sweden, Mr. Assange took refuge in the London Ecuadorian Embassy because he feared he would be snatched by the CIA should he travel to Sweden to answer outstanding
complaints. Though there are no pending charges in the United States against Mr.
Assange, he fears, not without reason, that he might be put on trial here for
espionage.
The same DNC that
attempted to tarnish Socialist Bernie Sanders’ sterling reputation by
suggesting the “secular Jew,” which was how Mr. Sanders chose to define
himself, was really an atheist – and therefore unpalatable to southern voters
hanging onto their religion and their guns – was whispering sweet somethings
into Mrs. Esty’s ears.
Mrs. Esty obeyed
without question the DNC’s prompts, and she was not alone. Unquestioned obedience
to national propagandists lies at the core of Democratic campaign successes.
There are no “parties of one” in Democratic ranks. Mr. Sanders, the Willian
Jennings Bryan of our day, was a discordant note, but even he was whipped into
line -- which is what?
Mrs. Clinton and the
Democratic Party chorus this year are promoting a kind of administrative
authoritarianism, and the Clinton big stick will be used, once she is installed
in the White House, to bring everyone in the country to heel.
Listen closely: “Laws
have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated (emphasis mine) cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As
I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of
women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished
business of the 21st century and (emphasis mine) not just for women but for everyone — and not
just in faraway countries but right here in the United States.”
Mrs. Clinton’s voice
and big stick are not likely to change cultural codes, religious beliefs and
structural biases in “far away countries” – Clinton code for Islamic nations –
but here, the attack on what G.K. Chesterton has called “the little platoons of
democracy” has found its generalissimo.
