The Enormous Differences Between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton
Jeb Bush: Neocon Warmongering Crook
The International Business Times reports that Jeb Bush Funneled $1.7 BILLION of pension cash to W's donors - some who are now Jeb donors.
The former Secretary of Health and Human Services says that Jeb lobbied on behalf of an infamous Medicare swindler.
Bush is also a hardcore neocon, and member of the influential warmonger group Project for a New American Century. He's for mass surveillance by the NSA. He supported the Iraq War, and has tapped key architects of his brother's failed Iraq War as his advisors.
Mother Jones notes:
Financial support flowed to Jeb through Miami's right-wing Cuban community. Republican party politics and a series of business scandals -- including Medicaid fraud and shady S&L deals -- were inextricably intertwined. A former federal prosecutor told MJ that, when he looked into Jeb's lucrative business dealings with a now-fugitive Cuban, he considered two possibilities -- Jeb was either crooked or stupid.
Mother Jones also notes that Jeb supported the Contras, and may have been involved in the Lincoln S&L scandal.
Alternet reports:
Five months after he left the governor’s mansion in 2007, he joined Lehman Brothers as a “consultant.” No doubt he was well-compensated, as reporters may learn if and when he releases his tax returns someday. The following year, Lehman infamously went bust — and left the state of Florida holding about $1 billion worth of bad mortgage investments. (A Bush spokeswoman said, “His role as a consultant to Lehman Brothers was in no way related to any Florida investments.”)
***
He performed a similar service, with more success, on behalf of the Cuban militant Orlando Bosch, for whom he sought a presidential pardon from his father. The boastful murderer of dozens of innocent people — and a prosecution target of the U.S. Justice Department — Bosch deserved a pardon about as much as the worst jihadi in Gitmo. But his sponsors were the same Cuban-Americans in Miami who had fostered Jeb’s real estate business there, so he ignored the Republican attorney general’s denunciation of Bosch as an “unreformed terrorist.”
And Jeb "helped" his brother become president. Noted social historian and author Michael Parenti explains:
Under orders from Governor Jeb Bush (Bush Jr.’s brother), state troopers near polling sites delayed people for hours while searching their cars. Some precincts required two photo IDs which many citizens do not have. The requirement under Florida law was only one photo ID. Passed just before the election, this law itself posed a special difficulty for low-income or elderly voters who did not have drivers licenses or other photo IDs. Uncounted ballot boxes went missing or were found in unexplained places or were never collected from certain African-American precincts.
Hillary Clinton: Neolib Warmongering Crook
Hillary Clinton is corrupt, as well. The IBTimes notes:
Despite lambasting Colombia for its human-rights record in 2008, her foreign-policy stance on the country became noticably more favorable in 2011 after a large contribution to the Clinton Foundation by the Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp., an oil and gas company active in Colombia and based in Toronto.
Recently, the Clinton Foundation accepted a donation from a Moroccan government-owned company, despite the Clinton-run State Department’s 2011 criticism of that government, Politico reported.
Where all that money winds up is also a subject of criticism. For one thing, there have been allegations of waste. Ira Magaziner, who runs multiple efforts at the foundation, spent thousands of dollars to send a team around the world for months to build up a climate-change proposal, but it fell flat, as the New York Times reported.
No family has tapped so much money from companies, wealthy individuals and foreign countries as the Clintons.
Clinton also illegally used private email - despite warnings from Congress - in order to escape discovery of her communications as Secretary of State.
And she spearheaded the arming of Al Qaeda to overthrow Libya's leader ... and made false claims about what was happening in Libya.
Clinton also admits that she was responsible for the lack of security which got U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens killed.
So both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are corrupt. Indeed, all you need to know about how corrupt they are is that Wall Street would be happy with either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush … but is desperate to stop other candidates.
The mainstream Republican and Democratic parties both oppose core American desires. Only candidates who are “safe” in the eyes of the oligarchs are promoted or allowed to run, and discussion is limited to “safe” topics.
Appointing the children, spouses or siblings of the old sell-outs insures that we'll get the same 'ole same 'ole. Hillary and Jeb are just corrupt successors to corrupt aristocratic dynasties. See this and this.
The Founding Fathers tried to warn us ...

I should add that there are only two things that you need to know about a Zionist:
- Every word out of the mouth of a Zionist is a lie.
- What the Zionist wants, the Zionist takes.
What the Zionist wants, the Zionist gets the stupid goy either to give it to him or else take it from someone else.
There isn't even a Jewish 'religion'. It is a 'way of life, religionized'. Once you understand that, it all pops into a clean, clear focus.
Don't let the Jew tell YOU what to do. Be your own man (or woman, as the case may be).
"some say they are pagan worshippers of Moloch."
Moloch demands the blood of children. If the glove fits, wear it, I suppose.
Both will gladly look the other way at Israeli war crimes, and will put Israeli interests ahead of American ones.
A real dangers, as Syria and Iraq are absolutely and directly for Israel's benefit. The Iraq war being 'for oil' makes little sense, nor does the petrodollar argument, in the fact of 3 trillion + in costs, more down the road, and not using that oil to pay that debt.

Welcome:
I'm torn between responding to the usual troll diversion tactics or not.
I think not, for tonight ;-)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say thats the end of this thread doing anything productive, as it descends into claims and counter-claims of talmudist kiddie fiddling.
not sure about any special penchant of Jews for kid fucking, Catholics [at least the clergy] surely have a strong lead at the moment - not that, if we're being honest, there's an equal chance of rabbinical abuse making th epaper...
but the neoconservative movement's origins are inarguably Jewish
http://www.voltairenet.org/article178638.html
I'm sure you're not arguing otherwise.
I'm not sure Hillary is a "neoliberal" either.
McCAIN is widely described as a "neocon" as is Cheney - one might argue that they're really just militarists. They are not neoconservative in the way the Kagans and Kristols, Perles and Feiths were.
The latter, clearly wanted to go into Iraq to benefit Israel. That's not necessarily true for Cheney - but clearly rabid, unquestioning Zionism to the extent of completely ignoring the sporadic obvious and ostentatious Israeli warcrime, is a hallmark of neoconservative thinking , no matter how you define it.
But the fact the Office of Special Plans was staffed by right wing, Zionist Jews who had no special expertise in discerning fire trucks from mobile weapons labs should give even the most anti-racist crusader pause.

These men weren't the most qualified. They weren't qualified at all.
what they were was a group of Jews who were more loyal to Israel than the US, and for whom Iraq had long been viewed as a rival if not threat per se, to nuclear Israel...

You make things too complicated. They are all simply progressives. They want power and government is the solution. And that description fits most politicians of both major parties.
I'm not sure Hillary is a "neoliberal" either.
Agreed. She is as much a neocon as Jebbie in IMHO.
But, we attempt to differentiate miniscule differences when both are essentially the same - fascists and statists.
Great post, Mister Delicious. I fully agree with your characterization of neocons being controlled adherents of Zionism. That is the defining characteristic that differentiates the neocons from the neolibs IMHO.
10 points!

America's first $4 billion dollar "election."
All paid for by $5 donations over the Internet.
Vote PLUTOCRACY in 2016!
The choice is clear: We don't get a choice.
Excellent. WB definite money maker here...posters, t-shirts.
Want more than cash, maybe put the text "Write In None of the Above" or some such on the back.
One coin, two sides. Doesn't matter how you flip it. Heads you lose, tails you lose, too.
Just once I'd like to see the fucking coin land on the edge...just to see what happens.
Dear williambanzi7:
A long time ago, I used to believe in the old notion that art was supposed to be beautiful, and therefore, good art enabled some sublime experience of the beautiful. However, eventually I was forced to come more to terms with the ways that instead of art imitating nature, the development of technology had driven things around to the point where nature was imitating art. The development of the technology of photography, which has now become digitalized to the point where one can no longer tell the difference between which aspects of an imagine were "real" or which were "artistic," has driven that paradox of the original art being the imitation of nature through to become an ouroboros of nature imitating art, imitating nature, imitating art ...
Some of my old friends and acquaintances, who were more or less some degree of professional artists, explained it to me that after technology could imitate nature more perfectly than any mere human artist could do, the purpose of art had been driven from attempting to induce aesthetic experiences of beauty, to become more that the purpose of art was to be disturbing.
I have gone through the explanation above in order to indicate why it is kind of a compliment that I found it to be EXTREMELY DISTURBING to look at the images you have created above. Another visual combat knock out punch, that gobsmacked me with the degree to which it insightfully illustrated exactly the point that was made in the written article above it!
Interesting thought exercise, but I find the idea that art has a "purpose of its own" outside any intentions of the artist to be pure nonsense, as it dehumanizes art, a fully human construct.
Always enjoy reading your posts though.
The photorealism confuses the part of our brains that processes visual data subliminally because it sneaks past the filters that ferret out what is not considered a tracing of reality. Therefore what is depicted as grotesque is directly imprinting on our limbic/reflexive brain. This is the strategy that commercial advertisers pursue and this kind of a satirical image subverts it.
Truth is not necessarily beautiful. And one of the reasons I respect the Berlin dada artists was their willingness to discard accepted notions of beauty in favor of exposing ugly truths. They did this using photo montages among other things.
I do believe that certain types of digitally produced art can create great beauty. But the notion of a unique "original object" so critical to the artplexes notion of a scarce aesthetic asset is discarded. There is no scarcity in digitally produced images. Yet there are digital artists who spend endless hours developing fine technique.
Of course, unlike verbal narrative, a picture is mentally absorbed in an instant.
Burp... ;-)
Strangely I find it equally disturbing to look at the untouched photos.
Philip Seymour Hoffman is alive and running for prez? Wow, he'd probably be better than Bush or Clinton.....
See how different they are????!!!!!
Like Diaz o Huerta??? No es diferencia!!!
No hay diferencia.
Work on your Spanish, Poncho. You've been north of the border so long, you're losing it.
At a lunch the other day was chatting with several neo-cons and Progressives at the same table. They started on about political positions, Dems v Repubs, etc. I very gently pointed out that when it came right straight down to the bottom line Big Issues, there was no difference.
Amazingly, they all but agreed.
Then of course went right back to the small irrelevant nit picky horseshit that doesn't matter EXCEPT for them to "win" their own petty argument... their Very Own Ego Must Be Right.
Your Hegelian Dialectic at Work
Also at work, the idea that "we" "HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!"
My response is always, "How about stop doing evil? That's something."
Bottle that shit and make a fortune...!
A fortune, I tell ya!
She may have bigger cajones.
Simply competing branches of the CIA tyring to get into the driver's seat.
