Hillary-Bernie Feud Escalates Over "Fundamental Differences"

More than two years after the fact, Clinton and Sanders Campaign
staffers still have clearly yet to bury the hatchet over how he was
cheated from the Primaries and she lost to the 'worst presidential
candidate in history'.

The week began with several senior staffers unloading on Sen. Bernie Sanders in a Politico story published on Monday that was loaded with laughable quips from both sides as they sniped at one another over whether Sanders' use of private jets during his surrogacy for Clinton was justified.

"I’m not shocked that while thousands of volunteers braved the heat and cold to knock on doors until their fingers bled in a desperate effort to stop Donald Trump, his Royal Majesty King Bernie Sanders would only deign to leave his plush D.C. office or his brand new second home on the lake if he was flown around on a cushy private jet like a billionaire master of the universe,” said Zac Petkanas, who was the director of rapid response for the Clinton campaign.Read more

The Democratic Party has never been more divided:
People were literally screaming Bernie while Hillary was holding her acceptance speech.
Submitted by IWB, on July 30th, 2016
The mainstream media is telling everyone that the Republicans are divided, when it is the Democrats who are truly divided. This election cycle has been the biggest collective case of projection I have ever witnessed.
Here’s what happened:HillaryClinton gave a mediocre speech obsessed with Donald Trump.“He wants to divide us from the rest of the world,” she said, pushing globalism against Trump’s nationalism.“We will not ban a religion,” she said. She loudly ranted at awkward times in her speech, like when she was reciting the job titles of teachers and doctors and police officers (etc. etc.) who can fix the country in addition to Trump, who said that “I alone can fix it.”She kept getting thrown off by delegates chanting “Hillary! Hillary!” out of desperation because Bernie delegates kept interrupting her speech.BernieBernie Sanders caved as soon as he got to Philly Monday morning, when he gave a speech calling on his supporters to vote for Hillary. That’s when many of his supporters abandoned him — much like how conservatives abandoned Ted Cruz in Cleveland for not endorsing Trump, but in reverse.The Never Hillary movement protested throughout Philadelphia for days in 100-plus degree heat and disaster-level rainstorms. Bernie helped to shut down most of his delegates’ floor plots to disrupt and agitate the convention in a formal way. In exchange, the Democrat Establishment speakers sucked up to him one by one while he sat up in his balcony.“What an obedient little revolutionary” Tucker Carlson remarked via text.“We all should feel the Bern and we all should not want to get burned by the other guy,” said Tim Kaine, who almost got challenged for vice president by another candidate until the Democratic National Committee shut down that plot…by denying the necessary paperwork to the other candidate! Office Space politics are alive and well.Floor Walk-OutThe walk-out by Bernie Sanders delegates immediately after the roll call vote was arguably the most significant act of defiance on the floor in recent convention history.This reporter observed the carefully planned walkout from the grandstands a couple sections over from Bernie’s balcony, where he was busy getting feted for his silver medal. The commotion on the floor got started around the time Bernie’s brother Larry was toasting their late parents. My Breitbart News colleague Joel Pollak was on the packed convention floor texting me the protesters’ next location: the media center.

Bernie Caught on Hot Mic
Bernie Caught on Hot Mic Proves He Was Never a ‘Real’ Candidate (Video)
Tuesday, July 26, 2016 22:11
(Before It's News)
Earlier today, in a YouTube video titled, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies and More Lies. The Lies NEVER End, I teed off about how the political class and the globalist controlled corrupt mainstream media are using pathological lies and a never ending series of cover-ups to lead the masses directly into the voting booth in November to vote for Hillary. Furthermore, what the political class and the globalists clearly already know, but that Hillary voters don’t seem to have a clue about, is that once Hillary is elected, she will take delight in personally leading the same sheep that voted for her directly to slaughter.
In news that came out today, news that the mainstream media won’t even mention, much less harp on, we learned that Bernie was caught on a hot mic confirming what everyone with an IQ over 6 has known all along: That the elections are 95% rigged in advance, and in the case of Democrats, that number is closer to 150% because the corruption is so rampant, and so systemic within the Democrat party, that it flows through the party the same way red blood flows through humans. That is only the tip of the iceberg. With Hillary, the percentage is somewhere north of 375% rigged.
Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most corrupt politician in U.S. history to run for the White House, and with each passing day we learn that her bid for the Oval Office could be compared to a giant case of corruption, wrapped in a protective layer of corruption, protected by an army of corrupt mercenaries, and a corrupt law enforcement agency willing to look the other way, provided the price is right and they all get new military hardware. Think I’m kidding? Wow.
In the first video, watch what happens when the DNC attempted to force Hillary down the throats of everyone in Philadelphia, even Bernie supporters. Each time speakers mention Hillary’s name, all you can hear is “Boooooooooooooooooo!” It should be noted that even though most of the general public doesn’t know, Team Corruption knows, that Hillary is being sued for stealing the Primary in 11 states from Bernie. More on that in the second video. One would think that knowing they stole the election, the Clinton camp might tread a bit lightly. No such luck.
Personally I had NO idea the atmosphere got that bad. I couldn’t even watch the RNC without wanting to vomit half the time, so there was no way I was going to watch the DNC. With that said, I did have the news on all day today in the background, but had NO idea it got THAT bad last night until I saw the video below.
Now, as for the rest of this post, if you were a Bernie supporter, you might want to close out of this post right now. What you’re going to learn is going to rip your beating heart right out of your chest, throw it on the ground, stomp on it until it stops beating, and then feed it to hungry mountain lions that haven’t eaten in two weeks. It’s bad. Because of who controls academia and the media, most Americans who heard Dr. Carson say that Hillary worships Lucifer probably thought either 1) Dr. Carson was nuts; or 2) He was using a metaphor or something. The truth is, Dr. Carson was 100% on point when he said Hillary worships Lucifer, but I’ll come back to that.
First, in the video below, you’ll learn that the yardstick used by the US government to identify fraud in foreign elections is when there is a discrepancy of greater than 2% between election polls and exit polls. In the case of the Democrat primary, there is strong indication there was massive fraud in 11 states. All the discrepancies favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, and the range went as high as a 14% discrepancy. Said another way: It’s not possible there wasn’t fraud on Hillary’s part.
The Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity is about to file a lawsuit against Hillary alleging racketeering. Mark your calendar. You’ll never see the words Election, Integrity, and Clinton in a sentence together ever again as long as you live, nor should you.
WOULD YOU EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM THE CLINTON’S?
Then there’s the issue of Bernie, his wife, and the hot mic they didn’t know was hot. Wow. Throughout the campaign, his supporters actually believed that Bernie was a “different” kind of politician. They felt that no matter what Bernie said, at least he was honest, and he was sincere in the things he said, right? WRONG!
Thanks to Wikileaks, now the whole world knows what Bernie has known all along, which is that the DNC had already rigged the process in Hillary’s favor. What’s disgusting, is that despite knowing that, it sure didn’t stop Captain Honesty from continuing to collect campaign donations from poor, but hopeful voters, now did it?
In the video below, you’ll see that Bernie was booed off stage by his loyal supporters for towing the company line and saying, “I’m proud to stand with her,” referring to crooked Hillary. Imagine if they knew what was said on the hot mic. You’ll find out in the video below. Wow.
How pathetic is it that THIS is what Hillary Clinton has to resort to, just so she can have a CHANCE at winning the presidential election? She has to lie, cheat, engage is rampant corruption, and make voters feel so desperate that they think they have no other choice but to vote for her. Pathetic.
Finally, on the issue of Hillary worshipping Lucifer. I said I’d come back to that. In truth, if you do your homework about the Illuminati, you’ll learn that the Illuminati believe they are the ACTUAL LINEAL DESCENDANTS of the great Gods of Egypt known as ISIS, OSIRIS and HORUS. Said another way, it’s who they worship, and Nimrod/Shiva are synonymous with Horus/Osiris, who are synonymous with Bael/Baal, who are synonymous with Lucifer/Satan! You can learn more about all that in posts titled 1) What Lost Pieces of Human History are the Illuminati Hiding and Why, or 2) People Don’t Comprehend How Twisted the Illuminati “Religion” Is (Videos).
All of that is more or less just window dressing for the last video though. Once again, not a word from the mainstream media. It’s hard to say if this was a seizure of some kind, or what it really was, but a seizure seems highly unlikely considering the smile on Hillary’s face the whole time. One thing is certain: Whatever it was, it was NOT normal.
When the video is played in slow motion, look at the faces of the people around her. They are as freaked out as can be. Then, read the comments on YouTube for the video. Some have gone as far as to suggest a demon wanted out of her, and she was fighting to keep it in. Crazy? I don’t know…. no more crazy than whatever the heck she’s doing… without any explanation, or anyone in the media saying one word. THAT is crazy.

Huge Percentage Of Bernie Supporters
Won’t Vote For Her
by Tyler Durden - Jun 23, 2016 8:51 AM
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters don’t lack in enthusiasm, as a cursory perusal of social media proves. In fact, mainstream media once likened their zealotry to that of an “unhinged cult.” And now, with Hillary Clinton all-but cementing the Democratic nomination, the Bernie-or-bust crowd has drawn a line in the proverbial sand: nearly half of voters who support Sanders refuse to capitulate to the Democratic establishment by casting a vote for Clinton in the national election.
According to a recent national poll from Bloomberg Politics, just over half, 55 percent, of the Vermont senator’s followers said they would toe the Democratic Party line by voting for Hillary. Twenty-two percent would rather vote for her putative nemesis, Donald Trump, while 18 percent claim they’ll abandon the Democrat-Republican duopoly entirely by supporting Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson.
Despite the coordinated effort by the corporate media to proffer Hillary as a viable, acceptable candidate — by both downplaying his followers’ dedication and mocking their devotion as obstinate foolishness that could land Trump in the White House — many of Sanders’ proponents remain steadfastly undeterred.
Indeed, as the poll proves, an arguably bigoted demagogue and a third-party quasi-outsider have nearly the same appeal as the Democratic establishment’s darling — and the sheer volume of voters who balk at the prospect of voting Clinton has exploded in just three months’ time.
In March, a joint poll by the Wall Street Journal and NBC, cited by the Nation, found nearly one-third of people backing Sanders would not cast a vote for Hillary should she secure the nomination — and just under 120,000 voters have agreed to either write-in Sanders or vote Green Party by taking the Bernie or Bust pledge. Similar sentiment exists in the dual NeverClinton and NeverHillary movements.
Democratic Party hardliners and sticklers have denounced Sanders’ bid for the presidency as extraneous and potentially detrimental to Clinton’s White House hopes — but with poll numbers remaining steady, and with Bernie garnering the only favorable views among voters, in general, it’s conceivable the opposite is true.
If the number of voters vociferously vowing not to cast a vote for Clinton continues to skyrocket, isn’t the former secretary of state, in actuality, blocking Sanders — and the Democratic Party — instead of the other way around?
Tellingly, the poll also found a paltry 5 percent of Sanders’ supporters would even consider backing Clinton anytime in the future — a microscopic margin of malleability when considering both a Bloomberg and additional polls show Hillary’s lead over Trump narrowing considerably in recent days.
Considering Clinton’s mendacious campaign, with its rather suspect success throughout the primaries — how many ardent Hillary fans have you met? — the rhapsodic loyalty among Sanders fans seems natural.
“There’s zero percent chance that Hillary Clinton could ever get my vote,” Perry Mitchell said, concerning the latest survey as quoted by Bloomberg quoted voter. “She’s a corporate candidate. I don’t vote for corporate candidates. I don’t do the lesser of two evils.”
Mitchell has plenty of company — even from the grave.
So far this election cycle, the Washington Post reported, vociferous pledges warning against a vote for either Clinton or Trump have been found in 119 obituaries. That’s well over 100 people who felt strongly enough to leave a scathing political commentary as part of their last words for humanity — a number so large, it trounces other contentious elections, such as the 2008 contest when candidates Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain elicited 28 such mentions.
But a great number of Sanders fans remain, for the large part, resolute in their stand against a Hillary presidency. As Eric Brooks, a community organizer and Sanders devotee, told Bloomberg, echoing countless others:
“I will absolutely never vote for Clinton.”
* * *
However, it seems Hillary "For The People" Clinton has found a replacement for all those average joes... (as WSJ reports)
More than 50 business executives, including several longtime Republicans, will endorse Hillary Clinton for president on Thursday as her campaign seeks to capitalize on discomfort with Republican Donald Trump.They include Jim Cicconi, senior executive vice president at AT&T Services Inc., and Dan Akerson, who held top positions at General Motors Co. and Nextel Communications Inc. A Clinton campaign aide provided the list and said it would be distributed widely on Thursday.The endorsements reflect continuing unease among some Republicans with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee despite his romp through the primary contest.Mr. Cicconi, who worked in the White House for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, said he has backed every GOP presidential candidate since 1976. “But this year I think it’s vital to put our country’s well being ahead of party,” he said in a statement provided by the campaign. “Hillary Clinton is experienced, qualified, and will make a fine president. The alternative, I fear, would set our nation on a very dark path.”
Will money speak? Or will Sanders' NeverHillary supporters 'trump' the business-leaddrs?

One Hundred Thousand Attend Bernie Sanders Rally,
Media Remains Silent
Submitted by IWB, on June 3rd, 2016
Bernie Sanders had almost 100,000 people show up at a recent rally on Memorial Day in Oakland, a record breaking number which the mainstream press failed to report on.
The media silence continued when a further impressive 10,000 showed up to another rally he gave at a campus at UC Davis, proving that a concerted effort by the elite is underway to prevent a Sanders nomination.
American Everyman reports:
Had Hillary and her sycophantic ladder-climbers in the DNC not been stealing the Democrat Party primary, it would have been over months ago. Bernie Sanders (like him, love him or tolerate him) should already be the nominee and if that were the case, Donald Trump would probably drop out of the race considering the fact that he trails Bernie in ever poll ever taken thus far.
Unfortunately, the MSM has already cancelled exit polling for Kentucky, California and New Jersey setting up yet another election fraud via electronic voting machines. They’re going to flip the switch in Cali and Jersey (they already did in several states Hillary “won” including Kentucky) we just have to know that is coming.
Chris “Sloshmouth” Mathews has already made public MSNBC will be announcing Hillary as the “winner” at 8pm eastern time this coming Tuesday while the polls are still open in California. He bases that erroneous conclusion on the fact that Hillary by then should have enough delegates to “win” the nomination… if you include the “superdelegates” who don’t actually vote until the convention, ergo, Hillary will not have “won” anything this coming Tuesday.
And in all likelihood if these sorts of numbers are any indication, Bernie Sanders would crush Hillary in California if her peeps didn’t hold a magic bullet in the form of access to electronic voting machines and the State Attorney Generals who regulate their usage (a little shout out to the Hillary fan from Kentucky)
Point is, the establishment doesn’t want too see a President Bernie. That might be a little too close to a President Jimmy for their tastes. And they know full well if Bernie is the candidate from the left, that’s what they will get.
By keeping a lid on the size of Bernie’s rallies, the MSM is helping to produce a narrative that the primary election will be close. I don’t think it will be. If Cali used paper ballots, Sanders would wipe the floor with Corrupt Killary, especially considering all the recent news about her email deception.
People wonder why it is that folks like myself say #NeverHillary. I don’t find it that hard too understand. She’s a war-criminal, a liar, a war-profiteer and a reactionary neoliberal ass-clown. Just like her husband, Viagra Willy.
In short, she’s a republican way to the right of Reagan, Nixon and Bush Sr. She makes me sick. She makes a lot of people sick apparently, that’s why they show up at Bernie rallies and hope against all hope she and her raving band of neoliberal billionaire worshippers don’t continue to steal the election… but they will.
So make yourselves ready folks. Killary will “win”, Mathews will drool, Maddow will squirt and all of them will start a campaign of hatred toward us “extremists” who want something better from the left side of our one party, Business Party, system.
But as they rant and rave at us for not coming together to support a proven war-monger, remember this: we really are the majority and it isn’t even close.
Folks think the Republicans are fractured right now? You just wait. Just wait til the Hillarybots turn on the majority of the real left in this country. See what that gets them. Talk about down-ballot races… lol. It’s be a slaughter.
The irony here is that the last time electronic voting machines were used to such a degree, it was for the benefit of a Bush, family friends and vacation partners of the Clintons. Says a lot when you think about it.

Anti-Gun Barbara Boxer: My Armed Security Saved Me From Bernie Voters
Source: Kit Daniels
Anti-gun Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said she was “fortunate” she had armed security to save her from Bernie Sanders supporters.
Boxer was at the Nev. State Democratic Party’s 2016 State Convention when Bernie voters disrupted the event on Saturday.
“It was a scary situation,” Boxer told CNN on Wednesday. “I was there… It was frightening.”
“I had — I was on the stage and people were six feet away from me and if I didn’t have a lot of security, I don’t know what would have happened.”
In other words, she’s bragging about her private security as she eradicates the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans who can’t afford that luxury.
Boxer is the very definition of hypocrisy, but this isn’t the first time she made such a stupid statement.
For example, it was only a day after the San Bernardino Massacre that Boxer claimed gun control “works.”
“The fact is, sensible gun laws work, and we’ve proven it in California,” she said after two radicalized Muslims killed 14 people despite the state’s strict gun laws.
Her claim runs contrary to a Justice Dept. study revealing that, over the past several decades, serious violent crimes have decreased as gun ownership increased.
And there’s been a significant decline in gun-related violent crimes since the mid-1990s when numerous states began passing concealed carry laws.
In comparison, Chicago, Ill., banned all handguns in 1982 with few exceptions, resulting in a 40% increase in murders as killers took advantage of defenseless victims.
Boxer won’t let reality derail her agenda, however.
She also wanted to ban magazines holding more than 10 rounds, which make up the majority of all pistol magazines, as well as ban so-called “assault rifles” which are little more than semi-automatic rifles.
But nearly five times as many murders are committed with knives than so-called “assault rifles,” according to the FBI.
FBI crime statistics revealed that out of 11,961 murders performed within the U.S. in 2014, 660 were committed unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives and only 248 murders were known to have been committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups.
And, although the FBI did list 2,052 murders under “unknown firearm type,” but given the percentages of the known firearm categories, it is unlikely that more than four percent of the “unknown firearms” were in fact rifles, and less than that were semi-automatics.

Don't Get Berned Again. Bernie's Bribes.
September 23, 2015
The Pro-Empire Candidate.
We have heard Sanders’s defense of the Israeli atrocities in the bombing of Gaza, his call for Saudi Arabia to do even more killing and his concern about Putin for – well, being Putin and Russian. Thus Bernie is joining a cheering section that could root us right into nuclear war and oblivion. Here cited by Chris Hedges is a sample from an interview with Bill O’Reilly:
‘“The entire world has got to stand up to Putin. We’ve got to deal with sanctions, we’ve got to deal with freezing assets,” and “You’ve got to totally isolate them politically. You’ve got to totally isolate them economically… You freeze assets that the Russian government has all over the world… International corporations have huge investments in Russia, you could pull them out…”Confirmation comes in an NPR interview with David Green:
BS: …..The United States has got to work with our European allies and allies throughout the world to come up with an intelligent, rational approach to deal with Russia, to deal with ISIS and deal with other national security threats.And, obviously also, there is not a shred of anti-interventionist or anti-imperial philosophy displayed here.
DG: Sounds like you would intervene less than this president has?
BS: No, I didn’t say that. You’ve got to look at each particular case, obviously.
To give Bernie credit, he did vote against the war on Iraq and he has supported the nuclear/sanctions deal between Iran and the U.S., Russia, China, UK, France and Germany. (Certainly the latter is a positive step toward peace in that it removes the Israeli excuse for an attack on Iran, but it remains unclear how Obama and company intend to use the deal. Is it simply a way to free up resources from the Middle East for an assault on Russia and China? That is the most likely outcome, but we shall see.) And certainly Sanders’s Iraq vote suggests he is not as reckless or bloodthirsty as Killary, but that is setting the bar somewhere beneath the belly of a viper.
Bernie’s Bribes.
The fundamental problem with Sanders’s campaign is that it is based on bribery, and an especially immoral sort of bribery at that. For Bernie promises more social benefits IF we, the beneficiaries, let him continue the Empire’s warfare – both economic and military. That is a most unsavory sort of bribe. Basically he gives us butter if we give him guns to kill innocents.
In fact, Killary’s campaign is much the same thing, perhaps presented in a more noxious, arrogant fashion as only she can do, but nevertheless the same thing. So it is not surprising that a few weeks back E.J. Dionne in his weekly cameo on NPR suggested that Bernie’s campaign could help Killary by keeping attention focused on domestic issues. Unsaid is that such an approach keeps attention off the constant wars and interventions.. And most important, Bernie soaks up support and energy that progressives might otherwise bestow on a genuine anti-interventionist candidate. In so doing he protects Killary.
Sanders’s stance is the essence of every imperial candidate. On the Republican side, the goodies promised are tax cuts in return for the electorate’s backing of wars. In fact this is the tactic of every Empire. The British provided unparalleled freedoms at home while they raped much of the globe. Even in the Roman Empire a citizen had privileges, which non-citizens lacked. For example a Roman citizen convicted of a capital crime was not executed by the horrendous torture unto death of crucifixion – unless for treason, that is, a lapse in loyalty to the Empire. Bernie is only the latest to promise the imperial citizenry more goodies if we are loyal to the Empire. This does not mean that Bernie is worse than the other candidates – only that he is no different from them. He is simply more of the same.
Bernie Will Be a Loser With His Present Strategy.
But there is something even more troubling about Bernie. As Obama showed in 2008, Killary’s Achilles heel is her blood curdling, deranged bellicosity. So Obama paraded as a peace candidate. Unfortunately he was And this would be a winning strategy for Bernie. There is a substantial peace base in the Democratic Party, and virtually every one of his supporters would welcome an anti-Empire position. It would motivate them and also quiet those many antiwar progressive voices now opposed to him. It is most odd for a candidate to eschew a winning strategy. The conclusion is that interventionism is Bernie’s heartfelt conviction.
Sanders is an advocate of what was once called in the socialist movement “social chauvinism” in contradistinction to “social democracy.” Social chauvinism, where loyalty to Empire replaces loyalty to peace and the humanity of all nations, has been a plentiful commodity on the planet since World War I, at least, and Sanders appears to stand squarely in that barbarous tradition. On domestic matters there is little difference in the rhetoric Killary and Sanders will deploy in the campaign; he is Killary’s doppelganger. Thus Sanders is unable to distinguish himself sharply from Killary, and politics is all about making clear distinctions for the voters. So with his present strategy, he will lose.
The Task for Sanders Supporters.
To return to Paul Street’s analysis, on one matter he falls short. He writes in answer to the ever wishy-washy David McReynolds: “ I’m really not sure why … (McReynolds) puts the onus on peace and racial justice activists to initiate discussion with Sanders. Those activists are not purporting to run for the White House. Sanders is. If he’s serious about peace (not likely) and racial justice (probably), then it’s on him to reach out to movements.” But that is just the point. If these activists are working to put Sanders in the White House and he is an interventionist, aka social chauvinist, then it is up to them to either withdraw their support or demand a change in Sanders in return for that support. That seems pretty obvious. As Nader points out the time to make demands of a candidate is before you give them support, because after they are elected all leverage is lost. Did these people not learn that when they scurried after Obama in 2008 on the basis of “trust” and “hope”?
So the question must be put. Is it moral to support a candidate to get some more goodies in return for the sacrifice of ever more lives by the US military machine? Or if this moral appeal does not move the Sanders supporters, then the prospect of a new World War with Russia and/or China should give them pause. As a decades long worker for Single Payer, I am not willing to gain Single Payer as Bernie promises at the cost of more war, death to innocents in the developing world and perhaps annihilation of humanity. The task for Bernie supporters is to demand and get an antiwar stance or drop their support. Not only is this a winning strategy as opposed to the losing strategy Sanders is now pursuing; it is the ethical position.
So if you are “feeling the Bern,” especially if you supported Obama in 2008, watch out. Don’t get Berned again.
For more on just how demented Killary is, see “The Secret Life of Hillary Clinton.”
