Audio Surfaces of Hillary Proposing to Rig Election

Mrs. Clinton has taken her opponent to task for his willingness to work with Mr. Putin, attaching all sorts of negative connotations Mr. Trump’s stance, while directing some very bellicose rhetoric in the direction of Russia. She’s even gone so far as to refer to Mr. Putin as a new Hitler, a term frequently used by warmongers to denigrate any foreign leader who is in their cross-hairs.

And we’re well aware of her supposed indignation and that of the major media at any hint made by Mr. Trump and his supporters that she and her campaign would ever indulge in vote rigging.

So now a tape has surfaced of an interview Mrs. Clinton gave ten years ago when she was a senator seeking re-election.

On September 5, 2006, Eli Chomsky was an editor and staff writer for the Jewish Press, and Hillary Clinton was running for a shoo-in re-election as a U.S. senator. Her trip making the rounds of editorial boards brought her to Brooklyn to meet the editorial board of the Jewish Press.

The tape was never released and has only been heard by the small handful of Jewish Press staffers in the room. According to Chomsky, his old-school audiocassette is the only existent copy and no one has heard it since 2006, until today when he played it for the Observer.

One topic discussed on this tape was the then recent election in the Palestinian Territories that gave Hamas a commanding majority over the US-backed Fatah party.  Hillary’s position?

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

It’s surely not what Mrs. Clinton would today want to be remembered for saying, but that last phrase sounds like the very definition of “vote rigging,” something she expressed that she would support.

On to her biting criticism of Mr. Trump’s willingness to talk to Putin, we find on this tape an example of Hillary’s willingness to state whatever belief she thinks will help her most at the time.

“You know, I’m pretty much of the mind that I don’t see what it hurts to talk to people. As long as you’re not stupid and giving things away. I mean, we talked to the Soviet Union for 40 years. They invaded Hungary, they invaded Czechoslovakia, they persecuted the Jews, they invaded Afghanistan, they destabilized governments, they put missiles 90 miles from our shores, we never stopped talking to them, …”

That sounds like Mr. Trump.

So what are Hillary Clinton’s true beliefs, her guiding principles?  There might only be one – the belief it’s perfectly acceptable for her to say anything or engage in any corrupt practice that advances her agenda.  It might be just that simply — and that scary.
