- If you read enough, you learn all kinds of stuff that PBS/CNN/NYT etc., doesn’t see fit to report
- While the articles referenced below are more so reportage, they rival Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and Charles Dickens (no relation to the Chappaqua Dickens) in exposing the elites – Powell the Clintons and their circle.
From the American Spectator’s George Neumayr and his Scenes from the Ruling Class here’s one tidbit we had not read anywhere else. Wonder how many other “items of interest” about the General may not have been reported:
“In one e-mail, which captures the comic rivalries and resentments of fellow members of the ruling class, Powell complains that Hillary’s greed had deprived him of a similarly fat speaking fee at a university she fleeced. “She so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t [pay] any fees for a while,” he wrote. “I should send her a bill.”
If we may suspend or notorious but profound humility for a moment the article rather confirms the earlier assessment of General Powell by your friends at Veritaspac. But more deliciousness from the American Spectator are in order:
Colin Powell’s hacked e-mails offer a glimpse into it (excerpts)
Colin Powell has long presented himself to the world as a figure of singular probity, too morally unimpeachable for the grimy world of elective politics. His fawning admirers in the chattering class have fostered this fiction for years. . . .
Curiously, in this week’s reported batch of hacked e-mails written by Powell, he revealed that he is a careful reader of the New York Post. He cites the Post as his reference for believing Bill Clinton to be “still d–king bimbos at home.” He gave that as one of his reasons for hesitating in his support for Hillary. Evidently for Powell not all bimbo eruptions in the pages of the Post are equal.
Much of the media, still protecting Powell, made sure to leave that line about Bill Clinton out of its coverage. On Wednesday afternoon, CNN selectively highlighted the anti-Trump e-mails, running a near-constant headline to the effect that Powell had called Trump a “disgrace” and an “international pariah.” There was no news scrawl for Powell’s references to Hillary’s “greed,” “unbridled ambition,” or lack of vision. There was no news scrawl announcing that he called her “sleazy” and said that “hubris” marks “everything” she touches. . . .
Powell’s disdain for Trump is the least newsworthy element of the story. That disdain was already well known. But his cattiness toward the Clintons is news. Powell even confirms in the e-mails that the Clintons hate Obama and that the Clintons refer to Obama as “that man.” . . .
At the conservative banquet table, the plates runneth over with revelations about the elites. Consume from those provided by Clarice Feldman today at American Thinker. The excerpts she offers from other writers, along with her own insights, commenting on Powell and Hillary, and in particular the Hillary health cover-up, we can only wish dominant media would report. It is serious stuff therein that we commend to you. Fortunately Technology Breaches the Media Maginot Line
In closing, Feldman picked up on a statement from Ben Carson that we will try to feature on our site repeatedly. It is a response to Hillary Clinton’s charge that “half” the supporters of Donald Trump are “deplorables”, and “irredeemable”.
In a very telling moment, Hillary Clinton maligned me and millions of other Americans as racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic ‘deplorables.’
“I’m so tired of this line of attack that normally taunts conservatives. Well, let me be very specific in my response.
I believe in expanding opportunity, not welfare; that’s not racist.
“I believe every life is worth protecting, particularly the unborn; that doesn’t make me sexist.
“I believe marriage is between one man and one woman; that’s not homophobic.
“I believe in borders, the rule of law and our sovereign right to decide who to let into our country; that’s not xenophobic.
“I believe radical Islam is a mortal threat to America and Western civilization; that is common sense, not Islamophobia.” Dr. Ben Carson, Sep, 2016
