Peak Desperation: Clinton Campaign Deploys Wall Street 'Strategist' To Attack Bernie Sanders
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
“She’s not doing the big rallies because she can’t get the big crowds,” said the Iowa Clinton ally. “Maybe people are too anxious over this, and that anxiety is spilling over into cautiousness and overthinking decisions. Everyone’s on edge given how much we’ve invested in Iowa.”
– From the Mashable article: Bernie Sanders is Surging in Iowa and Hillary Clinton’s Campaign is Freaked
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is absolutely imploding right now. When people get desperate, they do desperate things, and the latest move by the Clinton campaign reeks of putrid, panicked desperation.
What I am referring to are recent accusations that Bernie Sanders has “gone negative” by releasing the following television ad. Let’s take a watch:
This is literally one of the most gentle, benign campaign ads I have ever seen. Nevertheless, implying the obvious, that Hillary Clinton is a Wall Street funded tool, has her campaign running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Which goes to show you how completely terrified and vulnerable she is on this particular issue. As such, her campaign’s strategy is to spread this non-story throughout the media in an attempt to guilt the Sanders campaign into not aggressively using this key issue going forward. Let’s hope it doesn’t work.
Yet the best part in all of this, is that the firm working with the Hillary campaign to publicize this faux outrage, is the Benenson Strategy Group, a top strategist to Wall Street mega banks.
As reported by International Business Times:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign held a conference call Thursday with reporters to deride Bernie Sanders for airing an ad that criticized Wall Street firms and the politicians who accept their donations. Though the ad did not mention Clinton by name, the conference call featured her top strategist Joel Benenson portraying the spot as an inappropriate attack on Clinton, whose 2016 campaign has accepted $5.7 million from executives in the financial industry.
According to its website, the Benenson Strategy Group lists Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase among its clients. In a 2012 press release, Benenson listed JPMorgan Chase - whose executives are collectively among Clinton’s top 2016 donors - as an example of how the firm “has guided many Fortune 500 companies and leading advocacy groups through critical strategic and communication challenges.” The section of Benenson’s website listing the banks as clients says the firm is focused on “delivering strategies corporations need to stay ahead of the curve.” Other clients listed include McDonald’s, Pfizer and Walmart — the last of which once had Hillary Clinton on its board of directors when she was first lady of Arkansas.
Just below the listing of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, Benenson’s firm lists Clinton’s campaign, the Obama campaign and top Democratic Party groups as clients. Those clients are listed under a section in which Benenson’s firm says it works on “advising leaders who shape the world.”
Of course, it makes perfect sense that Hillary Clinton, JP Morgan and Bank of America would share the same strategist. After all, they are the exact same brand.

None of this matters, there will be no real elections ever!
The elite will soon run and hide in the bunkers paid for with citizens taxes, after engineering a full economic collapse as well as starting WW3, plus they will make sure that there are enough Jihadi's in the West to start a race war.
That should be enough to cover up the failed fiat ponzi scheme and take care of the 'excessive' population......

have you taken your meds today?
Speaking of someone who is off their medication....wow...
Are Donald Trump’s Internal Polls that Bad or is he Going Insane? (VIDEO)johngaltfla,
Thanks for the link. Absolutely eye opening…….For anyone with a minor perception in fakeness.
“Because elections are carefully contrived so that they are like selling toothpaste. In fact, they’re run by the same people who sell toothpaste. I mean when you turn on an ad on television, you don’t expect to get any information. You expect deception. That’s the point. Only economists talk about markets. Business can’t tolerate markets. They don’t want markets in which informed consumers make rational choices. What they want is deluded consumers who will make irrational choices. That’s what hundreds of billions of dollars in advertising are spent on. You don’t get any information about the product.” — Noam Chomsky
Thanks a lot. I was really wondering what Noam Chomsky thought about this and was really hoping you would drop by and tell us. As usual, you don't disappoint.
"I'm Bernie Sanders and I approve of this message."
Well duh, no shit! He was doing all the talking himself and I didn't see anyone putting a gun to his head forcing him to say whatever he wanted to say, so it's pretty fucking obvious that he approves of this message!
"I'm _____ ______ and I approve of this message." is a standard disclaimer in all political ads enacted into law some years ago in the USSA.
'A future to believe in'? wtf does that even mean? I believe the future is bleak, should I vote for that? How much do new sign holder hires get paid? Where are all the black people at? That is one white crowd.
No article on Screech would be complete without reference to her mental illnesses.
Bill in 2012:
“I know that because, as all of you famously learned when I served as president, my wife, now the secretary of State, was known to commune with Eleanor on a regular basis,” he said. “And so she called me last night on her way home from Peru to remind me to say that. That Eleanor had talked to her and reminded her that I should say that.”
Yes, that's an actual quote. Hillary has two clinically defined mental illnesses, schizophrenia and lavarephobia.

If she is really afraid of bathrooms, then what was she doing in the restroom that Trump said was so disgusting? (I have yet to figure out what he was alluding to).
Taking one of her prune juice dumps.
Or maybe he's doing more of what's been working for him.
Would like to see Trump and Sanders go at each other's throats It'll be the greatest match since Ali verses Frazer.
For the record, I don't vote. I watch politics for entertainment only. Political campaigns are about as deep as beauty contests.
And about as unrigged as professional wrestling.
It is now 2016. Her email scandal broke about a year ago....
Revealed today: The FBI has not even interviewed her about her sending/receiving/housing Classified national security information on a private server in a bathroom.
this is looking like a COMPLETE AND TOTAL WHITEWASH.

If you choose not not to vote in elections, then you also do not have a reason (and some would say the right) to complain. If you let cynicism dictate your actions, you should accept the ramifications of your walk of life.
But then, some people only seem happy when they feel miserable.
On the contrary if you DO vote you are the one who has no right to complain. You specifically demanded the raw ass fucking you have time and again begged your team to give you but again they depend on thick yokels like you to keep them in power.
I offer you a ballot. On there is an individual who is a known racist slaver and theif, while the other one is a known murderer, liar, and a theif. Which one are you picking? What are you going to hold me responsible for because I refused to vote for either one?
They have captured the entire system. They have money and influence locked up. Short of us picking up guns (do you approve of that?) and forcing them out of office, we are stuck with these so called "ballots."
You can't believe what you say, it is not possible.
"I offer you a ballot. On there is an individual who is a known racist slaver and theif, while the other one is a known murderer, liar, and a theif"
MSCreant, how is Trump a "slaver"?
Don't use words you don't know the meaning of.
I believe MsCreant was making a point about voting in general Lea, not the specific monsters we have the "choice" of this time around.
Lol.
That was funny.
Where did I use Trump's name? Or Hillary? Or Bernie, Jeb, Ted...
I actually scrambled up some crimes so this would not happen. Funny.
Bill Clinton went to that slaver guy's island (can't think of his name this second) that held underaged girls prisoner/sex slave and went to jail 18 months for it (30 counts of sex with under aged girls, prostitution)...
All of them are bad choices because the system is corrupt. Only money will get you in there. A middle income person with integrity will never get in there. Until we get lobbying out of it and corporate money out of campaign finance, we are stuck with bad ballots.
I did misspell thief...
Edit: http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/breaking-sex-slave-makes-disturbing-a...
notice everyone takes "thief" as a given
The slaver guy's name is JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Guess what, he didn't really go to jail for 18 months:
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's "day in court" resulted in shockingly few days in jail for having sex with underage girls. Now the secret deal that kept Epstein's sentence so light needs to see the full light of day.
Two of Epstein's victims — Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 — filed suit in federal court in 2008 seeking to overturn a 2007 federal non-prosecution agreement they said violated federal law intended to protect victims. The lawsuit alleges the government did not properly inform victims — and there were dozens in addition to the two who filed suit — about details and repercussions of the non-prosecution agreement.
That agreement let Epstein escape the possibility of severe federal penalties. Instead, Epstein pleaded guilty in state court and ended up spending just over a year in jail. During his incarceration, he was allowed liberal benefits, including significant time away from his jail cell. For example, he was allowed to leave the jail six days a week to spend time at his office.

Ain't it the truth.
One time I went around asking people if their choice was between Hitler, Stalin and a name out of the phone book, they would choose either Hitler or Stalin.
And if you don't play powerball you cannot win. Funny how statistics are lost on the religious state worshipping crowd.

Sorry my friend. You haven't seen through the scam. By voting, you are supporting the edifice of corruption that is destroying this country. Given the limited choices, withdrawing your support is the only option left. It took me 25 years to come to that conclusion. Give it some it thought.
But then, some people only seem happy when they feel miserable.
By recognizing that the state as a predatory and parasitic institution, I don't get frustrated about trying to change it. I treat it the same way I would treat any dangerous animal. Keep as much distance as I can.
I remember listenening to that fight in 1971 as a kid on my old man's FM stereo. 15 rounds and how many punches thrown by Frazier... The man was incredible.
How is he going insane, he said what he should have said.
But, now that I realize that Regulus is in Virgo I think a woman will win.
When Regulus went into the masculine sign of Leo 2160 yrs ago (140 BC) the Roman Empire
was on the move, it was the march of the Patriarchy. In 2012 Regulus entered the female sign of Virgo, we see women taking center stage and acting like men, men are acting like women wearing buns and and passive.
In 1939 Regulus entered the final degree of Leo, two things were going on in America. Men going to war and women

Now I think Hillary pulls it out of the bag in the end 11 months is a long time in politics.
Pure comedy! Open mic night at the Improv on Thursdays.
You talking to me?
That is too fruit loopy for my taste.
But then again, lots of folks try to use the bible to predict things in near term time, too.
Free Speech.
Carry on.
It is because it has fallen out of favor as it has during certain periods of history.
Religion is the biggest enemy of astrology, because they want you coming to them for
answers, when they are right above you in the night sky for free.
Toss in some phrenology and you got yourself a powerhouse of predictive phenomena.
BTW: How's Miss Clio? Still fat and sassy?
"So call me now!"
Ms Cliotorius
And who exactly makes up the crap about how to interrupt stars? Someone besides you is who. It's just another religion.
All you assholes above have wasted your life on meaningless bullshit.
And you get angry with others who don't waste their life along with you
so you don't feel so bad about yourselves in how shallow and superficial you are.
buzz off, go latch onto someone else.
double post
So who exactly made up the shit you know and use to predict your investments. Someone besides you is who.
It's just another religion.
that more true about you than me.
In the early days of the internet I was on forums with the real high brow Astrologers from around the world and I challenged them on something that was widely held belief, silence and someone said "so what do you think about what she said?"
They said "I think she is right"
You have no idea what a vast subject this is and how it is always improving and refining. It is the science of observation, the more you do and watch the better you understand it.
Take the infinite possibilities in the universe, divide them into 12 boxes. Then try and predict what in that box is going to
jump out and interact with something from another box.
And the best Astrologers are intuitives, just like the best doctors are. It could be anything, but they think it is this.
Now admit that you don't understand the first thing about this craft, because I know you don't.
good question.

I find this post much more compelling than the one you responded to. Trump in the other one is doing what Trump does, attack his enemies.
In this one, they are talking about mob connections and why isn't the press going after that. Much more compelling.
Where's Jimmy Hoffa? ;)
Right where they want him.
Hillary is lying scum, shilling for the Banksters.
Bernie has an opportunity now to portray SHILLARY as she really is: a power mad & money hungry lying woman intent on nothing but benefitting herself.
America is fucked either way
She is in deep shit this time around. If she does not win the prez, she will end up in the pen - or in the bin.
I'm predicting a WIN & a quick exit (like a brain clot or something). That would be a quick way to sweep all her shit under the rug, & yet, miraculously, turn the bitch into a fucking martyr.
Operationally, with both that bitch and/or the narcissistic 'turncoat to be' Trump, it'll all be about who becomes Gerald Ford...
It AMAZES me that nobody even remembers that as soon as Gerald Ford took office, he made Rockefeller as VP... Wasn't soon after that that he started falling down stair steps & the Squeaky Frommes of the world started coming out of nowhere.
You make a good point. All he has to do is stay his course and not over react or go directly after her. She ends up looking like a crazy bitch attacking him directly. Let her freak and implode.
Reminds me of a movie classic.
