Who Is Hillary Clinton?
I hope to write more positive posts on Hillary Clinton but I was reading Arianna Huffington and went back to a story in The Washington Post that includes this paragraph:
Well, I've known for fourteen years that she's a Methodist and that's fine; most Americans belong to one church or another. I'm less sure about the line that she's been a Republican though I knew that about her too. Both these facts, with all the many variations one can think of, are a normal part of America. I grew up in a Republican household but I'm a Democrat. I went to a Methodist church but my father didn't. These are things I know about, and yet I'm uneasy about what this adviser is saying when he talks about Hillary defining herself. "...we will have the money...."
Given what's happened in the last seven years and the fictions that Bush has created around himself, I feel this is a political operative taking a page out of the Bush book where somebody can reach high office while pretending to be something one isn't. I hope I'm wrong, but I sense an adviser to Hillary thinking about using a lot of money to 'create reality' in the same way that Bush's political advisers brag about 'creating reality.' I think we've had enough of that. I used to like John McCain but I can already see him playing the same game. I see other Republicans doing the same thing.
I hope Hillary keeps it real and keeps her distance from overly clever political consultants who study what voters want to hear. Yes, you have to get your message out; yes, the voters need to know who you are. But keep it real. Americans are looking for leaders, not illusions.
"She will define herself, and we will have the money to do it," said one close adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Clinton has forbidden those close to her to speculate publicly about 2008. "People have to get to know her, know that she was once a Republican, that she's a big Methodist. . . . That will happen."

URGENT!
Even as the administration exploited this Official Story (or "Official Conspiracy Theory") as the pretext to launch new wars long in the making, independent researchers began to accumulate a vast body of evidence suggesting a different narrative for 9/11: that of the Inside Job.
The 9/11 events and the anomalies in the official story raised Unanswered Questions about:
- the unprecedented failure of the US air defense system on the morning of the attacks;
- the AWOL military chain of command during the actual attacks, including the inexplicable behavior of the presidential entourage;
- the seeming impossibility of official claims with regard to Flight 77;
- the evidence that Flight 93 was shot down;
- contradictions and dubious evidence in the official claims about the alleged hijackers and masterminds, and doubts about their real identities;
- signs that the alleged hijackers enjoyed high-level protection against discovery by honest investigators;
- evidence that the alleged hijackers were financed by states allied with US intelligence;
- suspicious and massive international financial trades suggesting foreknowledge of the attacks;
- widespread signs of official foreknowledge and, in fact, advance preparation for the 9/11 attack scenario;
- the long-running links between Islamist fundamentalist terror cells and US covert operations, dating back to CIA support for the anti-Soviet mujahedeen and Osama Bin Ladin himself;
- the demolition-like collapse of the Twin Towers and of a third skyscraper, WTC 7;
- and questions concerning who could have logically expected to derive benefit in the aftermath of a massive attack on the United States.
The suspicions received further confirmation a few weeks after September 11th, with the arrival of anthrax letters targeted only at opposition politicians and media figures, and timed to coincide with the introduction of the USA PATRIOT Act.
