Green Party Jill Stein says FBI chief Comey not " responsible "

Jill Stein says FBI chief not responsible
The FBI is not above what we democratic socialists call class war politics. We certainly do not expect Comey to be " responsible " to the interests of the American working class. 

As for Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary she is not less devoted to the plutocracy than those FBI bureaucrats.

In just a few months the Hillary Democrats have evolved into a neo-con war party. Working class voters should not hesitate to reject her.

The American ruling class now has just ONE party : the party of Hillary. Establishment USA supports " Corrupt Hillary ". What does that say about Establishment USA ?

FBI chief Comey violated the Hatch Act ?

FBI Obtains Warrant for Newly Discovered Emails in Clinton Probe — as Reid Accuses Comey of Hatch Act Violation published on Sun Oct 30, 2016


  • In reply to:  Too scruffy #117.1    Speaking of witches, the Hatch Act was a tool of the McCarthy era anti- communist witch hunters. A smear tactic against the FBI chief ?
  •  
  • In reply to:  Dingbats should not run countries #113    The Hatch Act was a weapon of persecution of political dissent during the Cold War McCarthy era. Are the Hillary loyalists trying to link the FBI chief with Russia's Vladimir Putin too ?
  •  
  •  " Sep 8, 2016 - McCarthyism and the Red Scare. ... global fascist threat; Hatch Act is designed to prevent ' pernicious political activities ' and bars Communists, ...  "       The Democratic Party is indeed using the old McCarthyism to discredit....[ anti-Hillary opponents ]

  •     " [ It was used to persecute Trotskyists in a series of trials that began in 1941 and ... 300 individuals were tried for subversion despite the U.S.-USSR wartime alliance. ... The 1939 Hatch Act forbade federal employees from partisan political activity, but it was also used to weed out accused leftists in government employment. " ]

    Supreme Court to rebuke Mother Nature ?

    Supreme Court will rule on trans-gender bathroom rules 


    Ordinary manners , kindness, and politeness is not enough for " identity politics " fanaticism. Anybody who has ever worked in a hospital or nursing home is conditioned not to be squeamish about the human body , male, female, or " other ".

    But it seems to me that Nature will have us deal with objective reality : it has not yet created a third sex.

    A decaying capitalist society denies objective reality - even in the thin air at height of philosophical mountains. We are what we THINK we are ?

    Cranston Republican Mayor Fung no worse than Democrat Michael Sepe


    • The mayor of Cranston -Republican or Democrat - is constrained by a budget that is limited by routine capitalist economics .

       Mayor Fung- a Trump supporter- has no quarrel with this system but neither do the Cranston Democrats and Michael Sepe- a Hillary Clinton supporter.

       This is true of every major city in Rhode Island : no mayor can rise above budget limits decided by the ruling class as a whole.

      It helps, of course, not to be personally corrupt. Given this reality, I recall voting for Republican Mayor Fung simply because a few years ago nobody in my Knightsville had anything bad to say about him.

      That great Rhode Island Democratic machine is very self-serving and rarely serves the interests of ordinary working class people.

      Right wing nationalist Donald Trump does get a few things right : " The system is rigged ".

    Yes, I prefer traditional Catholicism to Christopher Hitchens' New Atheism and the pseudo-Left


    Real democratic socialists warn the working class-which naturally includes millions of devout Catholics - not to vote for class enemy politicians -like Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary .They do not divide the working class by waging war on mere faith in the manner of Ayn Rand on the right and the New Atheists on the pseudo-left.

    Don't pretend that Hillary Clinton is motivated and inspired by the Social Gospel. She is no Eleanor Roosevelt. The neo-Democrats left the New Deal behind in the Jimmy Carter years.

    Hillary Clinton even supports the racist death penalty. Does Pope Francis ? Does Pope Francis praise the values of Wall St. capitalism ?

    Yes, I do prefer traditional Catholicism to Christopher Hitchens and his " God is Not Great.... why religion poisons everything" . The New Atheists support Hillary Clinton and Zionist inspired Islamophobia. At least Bernie Sanders -for a while- did not suck up to the Israel lobby- not very popular on the left.

    I see nothing " ineffectual " about the telling the truth and class based politics. By the way, both Sanders and Jill Stein are from a Jewish background. So was Leon Trotsky !

    The nuclear family under capitalism is breeding despair

    " Why my wife killed her baby and herself "

    • There is lacking here a sociological perspective on depression in mothers with young children.

       The nuclear family is now a strained and pained ,atomized and isolated, social and economic unit. A more communal, extended family would be more conducive to the mental health of mothers in high anxiety states.

       Capitalist society pushes " individualism " and " independence " to an insane extreme.And corrupt psychiatry promotes this status quo as if it were some absolute " norm " for human social life.

      So many sad stories of disturbed individuals " falling through the cracks ".

    A most undemocratic American " democracy "

    •    " Maybe I will go vote so I don't have to follow this stupid election anymore. "
       
      • Here in Rhode Island you must look hard for working class voters all excited about Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary, Queen of the Status Quo Hillary Clinton. 
         
        " Socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders humiliated the Clinton machine in the primary. Working Class voters have no more reason to go to the polls to vote for Hillary than they have to vote for her pal Gina Raimondo - who is leading the attacks on the working class, the elderly , and the poor in Rhode Island.She fires social workers and replaces them with dysfunctional computers.

        What if the voter turn out is so low that there arises a question of constitutional " legitimacy " ? The American ruling class now- above all- fears the fundamental principle of populism - left or right : respect for majority rule.

    A DON'T VOTE recommendation for presidential election 2016


    As a guy on the Left I must point out that Wiki-Leaks show Hillary Clinton, the Queen of the Status Quo, the pre-selected presidential candidate of Establishment USA, to be a conscious enemy of working class people in the United States and around the world. She now includes working class Catholics on her long list of benighted " deplorables ".

        Vote for Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary ? It might just be morally and intellectually wiser to NOT VOTE IN 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

              I was a critical supporter of " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders until his unprincipled endorsement of Hillary Clinton who sabotaged his really modest " political revolution ". I guess any form of " socialism " is anathema in capitalist America.
    The two party system has collapsed . Now our ruling class has just one party - The Party of Hillary - a long way from FDR and the
    New Deal       .Not another anti-Trump oped ( Brown Daily Herald )

    Would the US ruling class " honor " the election of a real socialist ?


    Establishment USA has already " rigged " the election for Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary.

     On the brink of World War III ( Watching America )

     Even Ralph Nader and Jill Stein pointed out that the American plutocracy, the ONE PERCENT, Corporate America, the Ruling Class control elections . We have a " For Sale Congress " , for sale judges.

    No democratic socialist will be " horrified " by any blunt rejection of ANY election results in capitalist America.

    " Socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders -surprise- won the Democratic primary last April in Rhode Island . He humiliated the Clinton machine supported by Hillary pal Governor Gina Raimondo. Raimondo did not " honor " the election results at the Democratic National Convention.

    When Bernie Sanders supporters protested this " rigged " nomination, the DNC slandered them as having a " propensity for violence ".

    We socialists are NOT HORRIFIED by Donald Trump's cynicism about the presidential election. And this right wing nationalist has been absurdly over-demonized by phony " liberal mainstream news media.

    Would the US ruling class have honored a presidential victory of " socialist " Bernie Sanders ? Recall the fate of one " Marxist " Salvador Allende of Chile ?

    And Bernie Sanders was wrong to endorse " Corrupt Hillary ".

    Wiser morally and intellectually NOT TO VOTE in this absurd election ?

    This socialist feminist will not vote for Hillary Clinton

    As a democratic socialist I see this film maker,  Michael Moore , as part of the phony " pseudo-left "
    .
     The American working class has been betrayed for a generation by the neo-liberal Democrats-led by the Clintons.

     Establishment USA supports Hillary Clinton. Are working class Americans " stronger together " with the Pentagon, Wall St. , the FBI , the CIA , corrupt intellectuals, bribed journalists and academics, corrupt union leaders ?

           Any voter with a spark of radical " class consciousness " will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton. It would be wiser morally and intellectually not to vote on Election Day 2016.

                  How can the Bernie Sanders " political revolution " endorse the Queen of the Status Quo ?  That great American socialist Eugene V. Debs would be ashamed of Bernie Sanders. Just read Debs' Canton Speech.

        How can the anti-war movement support Hawk Hillary ?

    Democratic socialists oppose individual and isolated group terrorism

    • Re-consider your inflammatory words here. The country could explode into violent civil war , That is not the path to " progressive " social change. Individual acts of terrorism serve only the present rotten social order.

      •  " You leftist socialists have never hesitated at violent revolution when it suits your purposes. "

      • " Violent revolution " is made inevitable, in the final analysis, by the state of the class struggle. Next year we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Hitler and the Nazis slandered it as a Jewish plot. Back then many intellectual Jews were socialist internationalists. Many still are .

    All elections are " rigged " in capitalist America


    Hillary Clinton is the pre-selected  presidential candidate of Establishment USA- responsible for not a little of the violence of global capitalism.  How can any working class voter -aware of the bipartisan attacks on working class Americans - vote for this  Queen of Status Quo , Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary ?

       Where is the crowd enthusiasm for " Corrupt Hillary " ?  The Hillary Democrats are a long way from the FDR New Deal. They sound more and more like a neo-con War Party. Having sabotaged the Bernie Sanders " political revolution " ,  Hillary Clinton- not Vladimir Putin- has damaged the " political process " in 2016 election.

                  Even Ralph Nader pointed out years ago that elections are always " rigged " in the United States in favor of Corporate America, in favor of the ONE PERCENT.

                   Hillary Clinton is no friend of working class people.And Wiki-Leaks show that she has added working class Catholics to her list of benighted " deplorables ".

    " Occupy Providence " - no coherent political philosophy and poor public relations skills

    " Occupy Providence " back to defend the homeless in Kennedy Plaza
    The homeless problem in Providence, the depressing scene in Kennedy Plaza, is not the moral failure of any one " privileged " individual -like former mayor Joe Paolino who at least showed a humane interest in the " problem ".

     The problem with " Occupy Providence " from the beginning was its incoherent political philosophy and its terrible public relations skills.

    My observation of the homeless in Kennedy Plaza tells me that it has nothing to do with race or " white privilege ". It has everything to do with the sacrosanct status of private property and landlord rights.

    It does not help to brand rank and file police officers as " racist ". A famous Mayor Richard Daley quote from 1968 Chicago : " The police are not there to create disorder; they are there to preserve disorder ". You can't make this up !

    There is a democratic socialist perspective on the homeless problem in America. For 50 years I have not discovered any intellectual or moral flaws in it. Peaceful social change is still possible.

    The fun begins on the day after our " rigged election "


    The Constitution is designed to make popular Democracy difficult. And even meek " democratic socialism " is anathema to our ruling class. Both the major parties fear the very principle of majority rule.

    Is it a cosmic principle that capitalist American can only have this rotten two party system ? There is no Christian God but capitalism is divine ?

    The 2016 presidential election is all about the crisis of the two party system in America.
    The fun will begin on the day after our " rigged " election.

    Anger and hostility were the most overwhelming sentiments at a Trump rally in Cincinnati Thursday evening, a deep sense of frustration that ...

    Now Establishment USA smells " violence in the air "- wonder why ?

    A return to " traditional Republicanism " ?

    Neither traditional Republicanism nor decades of neo-liberal Democrat domestic and foreign policy can save the American working class from the decay of global capitalism.

    Hillary Clinton and the DNC actively sabotaged the Bernie Sanders peaceful " political revolution ". Now Establishment USA -which completely supports Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary- smells " violence in the air ".

     Just months ago the Hillary clique was claiming that the very civil and sophisticated supporters of " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders had a " propensity for violence ".

    The " propensity for violence " is all there in our military-industrial complex- that has pre-selected Hillary Clinton as its Commander in Chief.

    The Hillary Democrats also want to " reform " the already socially  progressive  Catholic Church. Too many working class Catholics are anti-Hillary and therefore benighted " deplorables " ?

    Just a few years ago the Republican Party seemed guided by Ayn Rand Thought. Was that crackpot reactionary preferable to this right wing nationalist Donald Trump ?

    The only hope for working class America is an independent pro-labor party that rises above narrow minded " identity politics ".

    Erratic playboy Trump at least tells the truth about " Corrupt Hillary "

        Whatever his history of less than gentleman like encounters with women I commend Donald Trump for telling the truth about " Corrupt Hillary " and the rigged presidential election.

    What I just learned about the Hillary Clinton campaign to sabotage the Catholic Church -knowing how she sabotaged the Bernie Sanders " political revolution " - inspires me to vote for a third party presidential candidate on election day. 


    I voted for Bernie in the Rhode Island Democratic primary last April. He humiliated the Clinton political machine.


    For millions of working class " deplorables " Donald Trump is - sadly - the lesser evil.

    A moralizing philistine view of Christopher Columbus

    Activists speak out against Columbus Day


    The historical significance of Columbus was the EUROPEAN discovery of America- what that meant for GOOD or EVIL to Western Civilization.

     Most of the misery of " indigenous people " in the centuries following was parallel to the misery of working class people on both continents during the so called " industrial Revolution ", the rise of capitalism and the Age of Imperialism.

     Democratic socialists - guided by a scientific view of history -reject this phony " identity politics " view of history.

    Nothing is more ridiculous than this now effete, moralizing philistine view of the great explorer Christopher Columbus. It is being promoted by individuals with no quarrel with modern capitalism and the New Colonialism in the Middle East.

    President Andrew Jackson was also no friend of the indigenous people of America. Yet we still celebrate " Jacksonian Democracy ". And honor Jackson on our currency .

    American ruling class recreates the world of Charles Dickens

    ACLU defends the right to beg


    I agree with ACLU in making do with whatever rights protect homeless people. But HUMAN rights must rise above the abject right to beg.

    The state should recognize the right to a decent home just as it is beginning to recognize the right to health care. And how can being homeless not oppose the right to health care?

    To be sure, capitalist property rights everywhere collide with HUMAN rights, including the right to a dignified life.

    For too long rent control has been brainlessly dismissed or just unmentionable.

    Since the beginning of the Reagan Era the American ruling class has revived  the world of Charles Dickens, the world of Oliver Twist and " A Tale of Two Cities ".

    A century ago socialist author Jack London wrote " The People of the Abyss ".

    Why the FBI took a special interest in Martin Luther King and Malcolm X

    It is rarely pointed out that institutionalized racism has been abolished in the United States. If this is not true, then it means the famous 60s Civil Rights Movement was a failure. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X live in vain.

          The reason the FBI took a special interest in these two black American leaders is this : they were beginning to see the CLASS basis of social and economic inequality in capitalist America.

       All " identity politics " can now do is pander to race and gender. And make privileged members of diverse groups more privileged.

       My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ".


    Interesting : there is a Malcolm X quote inscribed in the front of University of Rhode Island Library.


     Missing is the NAME : Malcolm X. Yet it is not inflammatory; just speaks about his love of libraries and books .

        Phony Brown University indignation over Columbus Day


        How many of these Brown University " activists " with an identity politics grudge against Columbus Day have no quarrel with Hawk Hillary and the New Colonialism in the Middle East?

        The Palestinians are also a wronged " indigenous people ". You would think scholars could rise above identity politics rage and just deal with the historic significance of the European " discovery " of America.

        And how do you " correct " this injustice to indigenous people ? By extending more privilege to already privileged members of the offended group ? They have no quarrel with everyday capitalist injustice - CLASS inequality. They just want a greater slice of the pie .

        Social change not incompatible with civility and civilization


             Professional football player Colin Kaepernick's form of protest is not nearly as ridiculous as the " venerable " Supreme Court which serves the plutocracy and stymies majority rule in capitalist America. Racial oppression is only part of the big picture of unacceptable social and economic inequality in this country.

        But I also believe that secular national and religious rituals ( of all faiths ) deserve a measure of polite respect.

        An elitist conspiracy against Donald Trump ?


           Both the Democratic and Republican party inner circles show contempt for " Democracy in America ".

         The Republican primary voters chose right wing nationalist Donald Trump  - well aware of his character flaws.
           The Democratic primary voters nearly chose " socialist " Bernie Sanders - but the DNC sabotaged his " political revolution ".

           What is left of democracy in America will not accept an elitist conspiracy against Donald Trump. 
             That is a " rigged election ".

        Donald Trump is no threat to bourgeois marriage and morals

        Hillary and Trump avoid serious issues- campaign a soap opera


        I agree completely with this letter. Both of these DEPLORABLE candidates for president of the USA have avoided public debate of issues that matter.

         For me " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders raised the important issue of unacceptable economic inequality in the wealthiest country on earth.The headlines today will focus on Donald Trump's recorded lewd comments more than a decade ago. 

         This deep digging for damning character evidence can backfire on numerous " liberal " , pro-Hillary libertines. Militant feminist cranks would make even sexual fantasy a new thought crime.

         Donald Trump is no threat to bourgeois marriage and morals.

        Can ANY presidential candidate pass a hidden recorder test for Puritan morals ? ?


        How many " liberal ", pro-Hillary politicians could survive a hidden recorder test over decades ?

        Attacks on the vulnerable in Rhode Island not computer glitches

        New Rhode Island computers fail the needy

        • They want new computer systems to talk to each other. But can distressed poor , disabled, elderly, or suddenly unemployed Rhode Island citizens TALK to a human being in a state office ?
           Governor Gina Raimondo replaces living social workers with dysfunctional computers. Nice to know the state is run by Hillary Democrats- such friends of labor, the poor, and the working class.

          The elderly have even lost the old RIPTA entitlements. But God save us from Donald Trump. The attacks on the working class are not computer glitches.

           They are policy - neo-liberal rottenness. And with a woman's touch !

        Again Establishment USA is trying to knock " Vulgar Donald " out of the race


        What's left of " democracy " in America should insist that Republican Donald Trump remain in the race. The voters will pass a damning judgment on HIS or HER character and " fitness " for the presidency. 

        How many " liberal " watchers of porn films are really shocked by this banal locker room talk ? Movie stars and TV celebrities need " protection " from sexually delirious fans. That is a fact too. Was Trump ever accused of rape or sexual abuse ? 

        This presidential campaign of 2016 is the pits. I agree on that. 

        To think that Donald Trump is an imminent threat to bourgeois marriage and morals! But Russia's Vladimir Putin is probably right in seeing Hillary Clinton as the face of World War III. That is another form of obscenity, is it not ?

         "Trump's vulgar remarks about women send shock waves "

        Why the mainstream news media is so desperate to sell us Hillary Clinton ?


         Why do you think the mainstream news media is so hysterical about Trump and so desperate to sell us Hillary Clinton ? I suspect that Hillary is already integrated into the Pentagon's immediate war plans following the election. Trump is not in on it and he is erratic. 

        The real crisis of American Democracy will be evident on the day after the presidential election.
        Do working class Americans have any say in war ? What did China or Russia do to hurt YOU lately ? And does the Islamic Middle East need our kind of " democracy " ?

         Both Hillary and Trump are loyal to the ONE PERCENT American plutocracy. This economic elite is above cheap racism and bigotry: THEY look down on ALL of us working class " deplorables ".

           But how many doctors-coming from relative privilege in capitalist America- support even Obamacare- never mind a serious national health care plan they often call " socialized medicine " ?

          Should college students be warned about the dangers of having politically incorrect professors too ? Beware the " woman hater " ,  beware the Catholic who takes his religion with " traditional " respect.

          The democratic Left and right wing victims of " identity politics " - like local talk radio 's John DePetro- can at least agree on the moral insanity of political correctness in America.The illiberal liberals are no friends of majority rule in our " democracy ".

          I suspect that many of the best doctors and teachers are neither Democrats nor Republicans. They just vote their conscience.

        comment author avatar
        Do ordinary working class Americans have any say in the New American Colonialism ? Besides voting for war monger Hillary Clinton or right wing nationalist Donald Trump ? What is the perspective of the silent or silenced anti-war movement on the necessity for World War III ?

        Despite its fanatical " identity politics " Brown University is a pillar of capitalism


        Socialism will end the " problem " of landlords. They will no longer OWN their property.Democratic socialists reject even so called " legitimate " wealth. The wealth of ALL landlords and capitalists is based on the daily exploitation and oppression of the working class. For all its slobbering over " identity politics " Brown University is antagonistic to poor working class people.

         [  " Rent control sounds good, but it leads to housing shortages. Rental units are not built because the return on investment is constrained, some that exist are allowed to deteriorate as landlords cannot recoup the costs

        of renovation or maintenance, some rental units are converted into condos, tenants in rent-controlled units don't move because they want to keep the low rent they have, even if the dwelling is unsuitable, and some tenants sublet to others for higher rents. The history of rent control is very plain to see, and it's not pretty." ]

        Vote your conscience in 2016- polls predict close election

        Considering the margin of error the polls consistently predict a close election with third party candidates quite competitive. Establishment USA will throw its prodigious weight behind " Corrupt Hillary ".

             Hypocritical Hillary now sermonizes on Trump's " class privilege " income tax history. Of course, the Clinton fortune is based on honest hard work.Working class Americans owe nothing to the Clintons.

            Vote your conscience in 2016.

        The capitalist way of life perpetuates homelessness

        Time to talk about homelessness ( Brown Daily Herald )

        • A sensitive , compassionate but still constrained point of view here.

          "We are all complicit in the societal structure that perpetuates homelessness and poverty." That societal structure is nothing but the capitalist way of life. Is it asking too much of Brown scholars to understand that the institution of private property ( MY MONEY, MY property ) stymies help for all these homeless people ?

          To start : we need rent control. Socialism a little later. Spare change helps for now too.

        What would Eugene V. Debs think about Bernie Sanders ?




        Establishment USA wants Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States. But are working class Americans " stronger together " with these sinister ruling class institutions: the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, the New York Times.... Wall St. lobbyists, pro-imperialist think tanks ?

        No, Never Hillary ! Vote your conscience. What would Eugene V. Debs say about this phony " socialist " Bernie Sanders now endorsing Hillary Clinton ?

        No intelligent debate in 2016 presidential campaign


        There has been no intelligent debate about serious issues in this awful 2016 presidential campaign.
         
         Clearly, Establishment USA supports Hawk Hillary, Wall St. Hillary. But why should working class voters of any race or ethnicity support the status quo: Establishment USA , Hillary Clinton ? 

        A future of more war and economic stagnation ?

        Actress Susan Sarandon no more a Hillary Clinton fan

        I applaud actress Susan Sarandon's cynicism about Hillary Clinton . As a critical supporter of " socialist " ( ? ) Democrat Bernie Sanders I will not be voting for Hawk Wall St. Hillary. Bernie is an embarrassment now telling supporters to vote for Hillary ( because Donald Trump is EVIL ) . Supra-personal evil resides in the Imperial Presidency and the capitalist way of life.   
         
          Establishment USA supports Hillary . Nothing sinister or evil about Wall St., the Pentagon, the CIA , the FBI, corrupt union leaders, venal pseudo-left intellectuals, bribed journalists , crackpot celebrities ?    
         
           Never Hillary ! In my Rhode Island Bernie Sanders humiliated the Clinton political machine in the April primary. Hillary pal " Wall St. Gina " Raimondo, the unpopular governor here, supported " Wall St. Hillary " .

        Our " imperial presidency " demands only a beating heart and an un-dead brain ... and

        The American presidential campaign in 2016 is now just grotesque- more shameless than reality TV. In truth, Establishment USA is demonizing daily and hourly right wing nationalist Donald Trump, while favoring Hawk Wall St. Hillary.


         The only character trait ESSENTIAL for being president of the United States is a beating heart, an undead brain, and loyalty to American capitalism : which is best served by " The Imperial Presidency ".
         Even Caligula and Nero could " manage " the Roman Empire for a few years.
