Time For A Reality Check

[JLM]

You're making one big mistake there. Not all white nationalists are formally uneducated.

Many physicians joined the Nazi Party. Joseph Goebbels was a doctor of philosophy. The British Naitonal Party has attracted members of the formally educated class including at least one doctor. I believed David Duke has received superior education too.

It would be a mistake and even dangerous to presume that ultra-nationalists, as sick as they are, are necessarily stupid. Kellie Leitch is a doctor too.

Let's not kid ourselves. There are probably more bigots teaching in our public school classrooms than we might like to admit.

I listened to Kellie Leitch on C.B.C. radio this morning until the radio cut out. I don't know what to make of her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? She has lots of ideas, but gives the impression (to me) she can't really expound on them to a satisfactory conclusion and often ends up baling. She needs more scrutiny.

Yep, and they've skittered out to yell at buildings, and protest the outcome
of the US Presidential Election after the fact instead of voting in the first
place. They cry and snivel instead of putting on their big-boy pants and
just going to work for the next four years, and then protesting with their
ballots at that point. I figure almost everyone except the media is doing
their best to ignore these spoiled children.

Absolutely!

Back in April, just before the New York primary, Hillary Clinton’s campaign aired a commercial on upstate television stations touting her work as secretary of state forcing “China, India, some of the world’s worst polluters” to make “real change.” She promised to “stand firm with New Yorkers opposing fracking, giving communities the right to say ‘no.’”

The television spot, which was not announced and does not appear on the official campaign YouTube page with most of Clinton’s other ads, implied a history of opposition to fracking, here and abroad. But emails obtained by The Intercept from the Department of State reveal new details of behind-the-scenes efforts by Clinton and her close aides to export American-style hydraulic fracturing — the horizontal drilling technique best known as fracking — to countries all over the world.

Far from challenging fossil fuel companies, the emails obtained by The Intercept show that State Department officials worked closely with private sector oil and gas companies, pressed other agencies within the Obama administration to commit federal government resources including technical assistance for locating shale reserves, and distributed agreements with partner nations pledging to help secure investments for new fracking projects.

The documents also reveal the department’s role in bringing foreign dignitaries to a fracking site in Pennsylvania, and its plans to make Poland a “laboratory for testing whether U.S. success in developing shale gas can be repeated in a different country,” particularly in Europe, where local governments had expressed opposition and in some cases even banned fracking.

The campaign included plans to spread the drilling technique to China, South Africa, Romania, Morocco, Bulgaria, Chile, India, Pakistan, Argentina, Indonesia, and Ukraine.

In 2014, Mother Jones reporter Mariah Blake used diplomatic cables disclosed by WikiLeaks and other records to uncover how Clinton “sold fracking to the world.” The emails obtained by The Intercept through a separate Freedom of Information Act request provide a new layer of detail.

The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment. During the April 15 Democratic debate in Brooklyn, New York, Clinton insisted there was no inconsistency between her positions:

But the emails show an aggressive effort to engage private energy companies and use Poland as part of a larger campaign to sell fracking throughout the region.
