AMENPER: Lobistas y Contribuyentes a las campañas
políticas
Estas son dos cosas que se mencionan como algo
turbio, corrupto, y muchas veces lo es, pero no la ocupación de lobista ni las
contribuciones a políticos necesariamente se trata de soborno y poder. Lo
principal no es generalizar, pero buscar en cada caso donde está la corrupción
y donde la honradez.
El trabajo honrado de los lobistas es dar a
conocer a los legisladores el proyecto de ley de su empleador, el político no
tiene tiempo no deseos de leer la ley y le es más fácil recibir la información
de los lobistas, y hay lobistas de las dos partes. Es como en el
caso de los propagandistas de productos médicos con los médicos, que reciben la
información del propagandista de uno u otro producto.
Pudiera un médico o un político ser
sobornado, pero no es la regla, lo que pasa es que los escándalos son más
visibles que el trabajo honrado.
También es lo mismo el caso de los
contribuyentes, no necesariamente es un soborno al político el contribuir con
ellos. Aunque sucede bastante, sobre todo a nivel municipal, donde la
visibilidad de menor. Pero regularmente lo que sucede a niveles
superiores donde las posiciones son mas importantes y más visibles, es lo
opuesto, los contribuyentes ayudan a los políticos que apoyan ya a las leyes
que le convienen mejor ya sea por interés monetario o por filosofía
política. Para poner un ejemplo que todos podemos entender, cuando
los cubanos estábamos más organizados para luchar contra Fidel Castro, el power
pack cubano de exilados en Washington, contribuía monetariamente con los
candidatos que estaban con nuestra lucha, nunca se pagaba a un candidato que
sabíamos que era izquierdista y simpatizaba con el socialismo. O sea
no se compraba, se ayudaba a los que ya nos estaban ayudando para que fueran
re-electos.
Como siempre no digo lo de arriba por gusto,
siempre estas letanías tienen cola. El caso que quiero tratar es el
del millonario George Koch, uno de los hermanos Koch, mencionado por los
demócratas con desprecio por su contribución a políticos contrarios a los
liberales en diferentes elecciones.
Los hermanos Koch tienen empresas que van desde
materiales de madera y papel, fertilizantes y petroquímica, con un
valor de más de $ 100 billones y han creado una institución
próspera, que emplea a casi 100.000 personas en
sus negocios. Creo que han sido más beneficiosos para la
nación que un organizador comunitario.
Los hermanos Koch,
son libertarios que expresan a menudo sus opiniones y siempre están
en disposición a financiar la causa política que consideran
apropiada.
Usualmente Paul Rand ha sido el más beneficiado,
pero este año han sugerido que pudieran apoyar a Marco Rubio, y ha habido
personas que han dicho que Rubio se ha vendido a los hermanos Koch.
Pero analicemos el asunto, los Koch saben lo que
piensa Rubio en cuanto a política internacional, que es opuesto a la filosofía libertaria.
Rubio no va a cambiar su posición en cuanto a la
defensa del país, es y siempre ha sido parte de su filosofía, no va a apoyar
como el libertario Paul, las relaciones con Cuba.
Koch sabe esto, la ayuda no se la da por esto,
pero ellos ven en Rubio a un político de derecha que quiere un gobierno pequeño
y rebajar los impuestos, y saben que puede ser electo, y que Rand Paul no tiene
el menor chance. O sea que Rubio no va a ser comprado por los Koch
para que haga lo que ya hace, van a ayudarlo porque lo que él está apoyando, lo
apoyan por lo que predica de la filosofía conservadora que en lo
económico coincide con las ideas libertarias. Si lo estuvieran
comprando, sería lo contrario, sería que Rubio no quisiera un gobierno pequeño
y bajos impuestos, y al ser ayudado cambiara su filosofía.
En general a nivel presidencial, las
contribuciones no compran a los candidatos, los contribuyente simplemente
premian a los candidatos que ya tienen la política que ellos prefieren.
Pero es más simple generalizar, si recibes dinero
de un millonario para tu campaña te están comprando.
Pero no dice eso cuando se trata
de grupos de intereses comunitarios de tendencia izquierdista, ,
grupos que suman miles y que cubren una gama amplia de intereses de
izquierda, pero a ellos nadie los llaman sobornadores pero servidores públicos.
Por mencionar unos cuantos de los miles que hay,
influenciando en nuestros gobernantes y políticos más que el más corrupto
lobista de Washington, ustedes las conocen, empezando por el famoso el Sierra Club (Environment) que lo que hacen
es crear industrias políticamente correctas como la favorita de Obama,
Solyndra, que pierden el dinero no de ellos pero de los contribuyentes la
AARP (American Association of Retired People) que defiende más el aborto el
matrimonio homosexual que a los viejos retirados que pagan su cuota, la
NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) para
apoyar leyes que benefician a los negros, y no se ocupan de los blancos porque
son unos negros racistas, NOW (National Organization of Women) que son los que
nos han metidos las leyes feministas, y la mayoría no son mujeres son del
tercer sexo, ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) que están a veces
reclamando derechos que se apartan de la libertad, PIRGs (Public Interest
Research Groups) que lo único que investigan es lo que conviene a la agenda
izquierdista, la NEA (National Education Association) Que lo que simplemente
quiere es que los maestros se plieguen a sus agendas.
A estos no le dicen que son lobistas ni que son
contribuyentes que están comprando a los políticos, pero sin lugar a dudas eso
es lo que hacen, compran a los políticos o con dinero o con las amenazas de
retirarle los votos de su grupo.
AMENPER: ABOUT IMMIGRANTS
When and by whom was this written?……
The United
States has never held out any incitements to induce the subjects of any other
sovereign to abandon their own country, to become inhabitants of this country.
From motives
of humanity it has occasionally furnished facilities to emigrants who, having
arrived here with views of forming settlements, have specially needed such
assistance to carry them into effect. Neither the general government of the
union, nor those of the individual states, are ignorant or unobservant of the
additional strength and wealth, which accrues to the nation, by the accession
of a mass of healthy, industrious, and frugal laborers, nor are they in any
manner insensible to the great benefits which this country has derived, and
continues to derive, from the influx of such adoptive children from other
countries.
But there is
one principle which pervades all the institutions of this country, and which
must always operate as an obstacle to the granting of favors to new comers.
This is a land, not of privileges, but of equal rights. Privileges are granted
by sovereigns to particular classes of individuals, for purposes of general
policy; but the general impression here is that privileges granted to one
denomination of people, can very seldom be discriminated from erosions of the
rights of others.
Emigrants
coming here, are not to expect favors from the governments. They are to expect,
if they choose to become citizens, equal rights with those of the natives of
the country. They are to expect, if affluent, to possess the means of making
their property productive, with moderation, and with safety;—if indigent, but
industrious, honest and frugal, the means of obtaining easy and comfortable
subsistence for themselves and their families.
Immigrants
‘come to a life of independence, but to a life of labor—and, if they cannot
accommodate themselves to the character, moral, political, and physical, of
this country, with all its compensating balances of good and evil, borders are
always open to them, to return to the land of their nativity and their fathers.
To one thing
they must make up their minds, or, they will be disappointed in every
expectation of happiness as Americans. They must cast off the old country skin,
never to resume it. They must look forward to their posterity, rather than
backward to their ancestors; they must be sure that whatever their own feelings
may be, those of their children will cling to the prejudices of this country,
and will partake of that proud spirit, not unmingled with disdain, which you
have observed is remarkable in the general character of this people, and as
perhaps belonging peculiarly to those of foreign descent, born in this country.
That feeling
of superiority over other nations which you have noticed, and which has been so
offensive to other strangers, who have visited these shores, arises from the
consciousness of every individual that, as a member of society, no man in the
country is above him; and, exulting in this sentiment, he looks down upon those
nations where the mass of the people feel themselves the inferiors of
privileged classes, and where men are high or low, according to the accidents
of their birth.
‘No
government in the world possesses so few means of bestowing favors, as the
government of the United States.’
But hence it
is that no government in the world possesses so few means of bestowing favors,
as the government of the United States. The governments are the servants of the
people, and are so considered by the people, who place and displace them at
their pleasure. They are chosen to manage for short periods the common
concerns, and when they cease to give satisfaction, they cease to be employed.
If the powers, however, of the government to do good are restricted, those of
doing harm are still more limited. The dependence, in affairs of government, is
the reverse of the practice in other countries, instead of the people depending
upon their rulers, the rulers, as such, are always dependent upon the good will
of the people.
We understand
perfectly, that of the multitude of foreigners who yearly flock to our shores,
to take up here their abode, none come from affection or regard to a land to
which they are total strangers, and with the very language of which, those of
them who are from other lands are generally unacquainted. We know that they
come with views, not to our benefit, but to their own—not to promote our
welfare, but to better their own condition.
We expect
therefore very few, if any transplanted countrymen from classes of people who
enjoy happiness, ease, or even comfort, in their native climes. The happy and
contented remain at home, and it requires an impulse, at least as keen as that
of urgent want, to drive a man from the soil of his nativity and the land of
his father’s sepulchers. Of the very few emigrants of more fortunate classes,
who ever make the attempt of settling in this country, a principal proportion
sicken at the strangeness of our manners, and after a residence, more or less
protracted, return to the countries whence they came.
I regret that
it is not in my power to add the inducement which you might perceive in the
situation of an officer under the government. All the places in the department
to which I belong, allowed by the laws, are filled, nor is there a prospect of
an early vacancy in any of them. Whenever such vacancies occur, the
applications from natives of the country to fill them, are far more numerous
than the offices, and the recommendations in behalf of the candidates so strong
and so earnest, that it would seldom be possible, if it would ever be just, to
give a preference over them to foreigners
This letter
was written in 1819, by John Quincy Adams then secretary of State under
President James Monroe. Years change things, but some things are forever.
SOBRE INMIGRANTES
¿Cuando y por quién fue esto escrito?...
Los Estados Unidos no ha nunca sostenido ningunas
incitaciones para inducir a los sujetos de cualquier otro país soberano a
abandonar su propio país, para convertirse en habitantes de este.
Por motivos de humanidad de vez en cuando han
equipado las instalaciones a los emigrantes que, habiendo llegado aquí con
vistas de la formación de asentamientos, especialmente han necesitado
asistencia para llevar a efecto la transición.
El gobierno general de la Unión, ni los de los
Estados, son ignorantes o desatentos de la fuerza adicional y riqueza, que se
acumula a la nación, por el ingreso de una masa de sana, trabajadora, de
trabajadores frugales, ni son de ninguna manera insensible a los grandes
beneficios que este país ha derivado y puede derivar, de la afluencia de estos
hijos adoptivos de otros países.
Pero hay un principio que impregna todas las
instituciones de este país, y que siempre debe operar como un obstáculo para la
concesión de favores a los recién llegados.
Esta es una tierra, no de privilegios, sino
igualdad de derechos.
Privilegios son concedidos por los soberanos para
determinadas clases de personas, con fines de política general; pero aquí la
costumbre general es que privilegios concedidos a una denominación de personas,
muy rara vez puede ser separados de erosiones de los derechos de los demás.
Los emigrantes que vienen aquí, no deben esperar
favores de los gobiernos. Deben esperar, si desean convertirse en ciudadanos,
con igualdad de derechos con los de los nativos del país. Deben esperar, si es
afluente, a poseer los medios de hacer su propiedad productiva, con moderación
y con seguridad; — si indigentes, pero laboriosos, honestos y frugales, los
medios de obtener fácil y cómoda subsistencia para ellos y sus familias.
Los inmigrantes no vienen solo a una vida de
independencia, sino a una vida de trabajo — y, si ellos no pueden acomodarse al
carácter, moral, política y física de este país, con todos sus saldos
compensadores del bien y del mal, las fronteras están siempre abiertas para
ellos, para volver a la tierra de su nacimiento y sus padres.
A una cosa se deben decidir, o quedarán
decepcionados en toda expectativa de felicidad como los americanos. Debe
deshacerse de la piel de viejo país, nunca para reanudarlo. Deben aspirar a su
posteridad, en vez de al revés a la de sus antepasados; deben de estar seguros
de que cualquiera que sea sus propios sentimientos, de sus hijos se aferren a
las costumbre de este país y participarán de ese espíritu orgulloso, no sea con
desprecio, lo que han observado es notable en el carácter general de este
pueblo y como tal vez que pertenece peculiarmente a aquellos de ascendencia
extranjera, nacido en este país.
Ese sentimiento de superioridad sobre otras
naciones que han notado, y que ha sido tan ofensivo a otros extranjeros, que
visitaron estas costas, surge de la conciencia de cada individuo que, como
miembro de la sociedad, ningún hombre en el país está por encima de él; y
gloriando en este sentimiento, él mira hacia abajo en aquellas naciones donde
la masa de las personas se sienten inferiores de clases privilegiadas, y donde
los hombres son de clases alta o baja, según los accidentes de su nacimiento.
Ningún gobierno del mundo posee tan pocos medios
de otorgar favores, como el gobierno de los Estados Unidos.
Los gobiernos americanos son servidores del
pueblo y son considerados así por la gente, que los coloca y desplaza a su
placer. Son elegidos para administrar por periodos cortos las preocupaciones
comunes, y cuando dejan de dar satisfacción, dejan de ser empleados.
Los poderes del gobierno para hacer el
bien, sin embargo, están restringidos, los poderes de hacer daño son aún más
limitados. La dependencia, en asuntos de gobierno, es el reverso de la práctica
en otros países, en lugares donde las personas dependen de sus gobernantes, los
gobernantes, en América como tal, los gobiernos siempre son dependientes
de la buena voluntad de la gente.
Entendemos perfectamente, que de la multitud de
extranjeros que anualmente acuden a nuestras costas, para hacer aquí su morada,
no vienen con afecto respecto a una tierra en los que son totalmente extraños y
con un lenguaje del cuál son generalmente ignorantes.
Sabemos que vienen con vista, no para nuestro
beneficio, sino a su propio, no para promover nuestro bienestar, sino para
mejorar su condición.
Esperamos que por lo tanto muy pocos, si
cualquiera de las clases de personas que disfrutan de la felicidad, facilidad y
comodidad en sus climas nativos emigra. Porque ese
ciudadano, feliz y contento permanece en casa, y requiere un impulso, por lo
menos tan entusiasta como la de urgente necesidad para conducir a un hombre a
salir de la tierra de su nacimiento y la tierra de los sepulcros de su padre.
De los muy pocos emigrantes de las clases más afortunadas, que siempre hacen el
intento de establecerse en este país, una parte principal se enferman en la
extrañeza de nuestras costumbres y después de una residencia, más o menos
prolongada, vuelven a los países de donde vinieron.
Lamento que no esté en mi poder para añadir el
aliciente que podría percibir en la situación de un funcionario en el gobierno.
Se llenan todos los lugares en el Departamento al que pertenezco, permitido por
las leyes, ni hay una posibilidad de una temprana vacante en alguno de ellos.
Cuando se producen dichas vacantes, las aplicaciones de nativos del país para
llenarlos, son mucho más numerosas que los puestos de trabajo, y las
recomendaciones a favor de los candidatos son tan fuerte y tan serios, que rara
vez sería posible, si alguna vez fuera, darle preferencia sobre ellos a los
extranjeros.
Esto fue escrito en 1819 por John Quincy Adams,
entonces secretario de estado bajo el presidente James Monroe. Los
años cambian las cosas, pero hay cosas que permaneces igual para siempre.
AMENPER: La Envidia en la sociedad y la Situación Racial
En la competencia, la ambición
individual sirve al bien común" (Adam Smith).
En una situación dada, si existe una
determinada cantidad de jugadores, cada uno con estrategias que le aporta
determinadas ganancias personales, existe un equilibrio. Luego, en el caso que
al menos un jugador no obtenga su máxima ganancia, si se beneficia de las
ganancias de la comunidad, el sistema seguirá en equilibrio, pero si no se
conforma con haber recibido menos por su capacidad o ética de trabajo y se deje
llevar por la envidia, la sociedad no estará en equilibrio y tendrá
perturbaciones hasta que se logre el nuevo equilibrio. Es en esta última
consecuencia donde se parece refutar la teoría de Smith, ya que al parecer si
al menos un participante no obtiene su máxima ganancia, este estará disconforme
y tratara de desequilibrar el sistema. Pero este defecto no está en la teoría
de Smith, está en las bajas pasiones de ciertos individuos que descalabran el bien
común.
El tipo de ambición a la que se
refiere Smith, puede ser y es una fuerza poderosa para bien en nuestras vidas.
Pero sólo si es legítimo. A veces mal interpretado y a menudo mal entendido,
ambición - verdadera ambición - no es una cualidad egoísta. No es otra palabra
para despiadado; no es algo a ser rechazada o sometido. Ambición legítima es un
rasgo honorable. En su mejor forma, nuestra ambición sirve nosotros y otras
personas. De hecho, perseguir su ambición es una de las cosas más desinteresadas
que puede hacer. La verdadera ambición es disciplinada, impaciente
del deseo de logro. Es un estado de ánimo, una forma de vida. Con el poder de
ambición puede hacerse cargo de su propia felicidad personal, trazar su propio
rumbo por la vida y dejar su legítima ambición crear lo que desea, dejar
llevarte a donde quieras ir manteniendo tu propio equilibrio y ayudando a
mantener el equilibrio de la sociedad.
Lo que critican de la teoría de Adam
Smith no es en sí la teoría, es precisamente la desviación de la teoría por la
envidia.
La envidia es como una pieza de
hierro que traba el engranaje de la creación de las riquezas de las
naciones. El triunfo de los que generan la riqueza, trae la envidia,
la envidia genera rencor, y el rencor genera la desestabilización de la
sociedad. Los que generan las riquezas son despojados del fruto de
su trabajo y erradicados de la sociedad, que pierde sus capacidad creadora, y
todo por el rencor de la envidia. El rencor es el combustible para
la lucha de clases que mantiene el socialismo vigente a pesar de su fracaso
donde quiera que se impone.
Los que vivimos el odio y el rencor
que surgió de la envidia durante la transición al comunismo en nuestra patria,
con el tiempo hemos sido testigos de que la satisfacción de despojar a los que
consideraban privilegiados no les trajo beneficios, que han vivido una vida
peor que la que tenían en la otra sociedad, quizás ahora se hayan dado cuenta
que el rencor les había tergiversado la razón.
Los Estados Unidos era posiblemente
donde la ambición y el triunfo que esta deriva en sus ciudadanos era visto con
agrado y admiración, a los triunfadores se les trataba de imitar no de
envidiar, eran un ejemplo de que ellos también pudieran tener la misma
oportunidad.
Cuando hoy oímos los gritos de
desigualdad con rencor y odio de clases en los Estados Unidos, nos parece que
estamos de nuevo en la Cuba de los cincuenta.
La envidia es una emoción que ciega a
la razón. Cuando vemos a la sociedad negra que se queja de la falta
de oportunidades, y cuando surge un ejemplo de uno de la clase que llega a una
posición destacada en la sociedad, en vez de admirarlo e imitarlo, lo critican
si no tiene la agenda de la dependencia que tiene a esta clase esclavizada
viviendo de la emoción de la envidia y el rencor.
Así que subdividen a los negros
triunfadores en la política como negros legítimos porque predican la
dependencia, y a los negros que no lo hacen los clasifican cómo galleticas
Oreo, negros por fuera con crema blanca en el medio.
Los gritos de discriminación no
pueden ser más infundados, tienen un presidente negro, el fiscal general de la
nación es negro, hay un negro en el tribunal supremo y hay negros en todas las
instituciones.
El partido que llaman el de la
discriminación tiene a un negro cómo puntero en las encuestas para presidente
del país, y hay cientos de negros millonarios.
Pero hay blancos y negros
profesionales que se dedican a crear la envidia para mantener a la clase negra
en la dependencia y esclavos de su vertiente política.
Y ellos
siguen conduciendo su vida con el odio y el rencor alimentados por
el combustible de la envidia..

Vice
President Joe Biden’s announcement on Wednesday that he would not run for
president of the United States made it a foregone conclusion that the media
would worship at the shrine of Hillary Clinton during her Benghazi testimony on
Thursday.
They
have no other choice. The precious must be protected at all costs, which means
covering up for her lies, her calculated obfuscations, and her charmless
faux-gravity.
Already
the narrative has been set: Hillary Clinton was a victim of a political
Benghazi committee dedicated to her destruction. Every Congressional committee
in history has entailed some political motivation—would anyone argue that the
Watergate investigations were completely apolitical?—but the media myopically
focused on the idiotic comments of
Rep.
Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
45%
before
Hillary’s testimony, crafting the story of her victimization before it had even
taken place.
Hillary,
as always, is the poor, put-upon victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy. She
set up a private email server and deleted relevant emails from it for purely
political reasons; she pressed for a pointless invasion of Libya for political
reasons, chortled at its conquest for political reasons, watched it descend
into chaos while doing nothing for political reasons, and then allowed her
ambassador to twist in the Libyan tornado without proper security for political
reasons; finally, she covered up that disaster by lying about its causes for
political reasons. But those who ask questions about such matters are partisan
politicians.
As
Charles Krauthammer rightly observed on Thursday evening, “We’re not going to
get the facts, we’re not going to get the real story underlying it. We’re
living in an age where what you say and its relation with the facts is
completely irrelevant.”
But
after 11 hours of lying—which is only slightly longer than the hours Hillary
and her boss’ administration did virtually nothing as Americans died under fire
in Benghazi—we may as well examine Hillary’s most important lies.
Hillary
Cared Deeply About the Human Cost.
Hillary
kept claiming that she cared deeply about her good friend Chris Stevens. At one
point, she whipped out her pre-planned righteous indignation to complain, “I
would imagine I’ve thought more about what happened than all of you put
together. I’ve lost more sleep than all of you put together.” This was salt in
the wound, the equivalent of Johnny Cochrane lamenting his worries over the
fate of Nicole Brown Simpson.
Hillary
admitted in her testimony on Thursday that her good friend Chris Stevens
did not have her private email address, and that she could recall no
conversations with him after he became ambassador to Libya. The night of his
death, she wrote an email with the subject line: “Chris Smith,” conflating his
death with that of diplomat Sean Smith. She didn’t bother speaking with
survivors of the attacks until days later.
As
to the notion that Hillary lost sleep, she apparently didn’t the night of the
attack—she went home instead of sticking around at the State Department or
heading over to the White House, because, she said, she had to prepare for what
would be a rough rest of the week. She didn’t talk to then-Secretary of Defense
Leon Panetta or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey. We do
know that she spent the night alone, a fact which led her to chortle. Hillary
may have lost sleep over her failures later—clearly, she spent some time coming
up with lies about a YouTube video.
Hillary
Thought The Attacks Had Something to Do With a YouTube Video.
Hillary maintained on Thursday that
she believed the attack still had something to do
with the YouTube video, “The Innocence of Muslims.” But the night of the
attack, she emailed Chelsea Clinton and told her that an al-Qaeda-like group
had killed the ambassador. As
Rep.
Jim Jordan (R-OH)
94%
said
to Clinton, “You tell the American people one thing. You tell your family an
entirely different story.”
In fact, Hillary told the Egyptian Prime
Minister the day after the attacks, “We know the attack in Libya had nothing to
do with the film. It was a planned attack. Not a protest.” Hillary tried to
state that she had actually told people that some people were
pinning the attack on the video, but she herself pinned the attacks on the
YouTube video in videos released in Pakistan. She lied, because it was obvious
that she had failed in her central duty to protect her diplomats in the most
dangerous part of the world—a part of the world she had made more dangerous
with her favorite invasion.
Hillary
Didn’t Use Sidney Blumenthal As an Advisor.
Hillary
Clinton had reams of email exchanges with hitman Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal
had been banned from the Obama administration for his corruption and Clintonian
loyalties. Hillary said that the emails were unsolicited.
Rep.
Trey Gowdy (R-SC)
85%
shot
that idiocy down easily: “You wrote to him, ‘Thanks and please keep them
coming,’ ‘Greetings from Kabul and thanks for keeping this stuff coming, any
other info about it?’ ‘What are you hearing now?’” Hillary then tried to amend
her statement by saying they began as unsolicited emails. Hillary used
Blumenthal as an advisor, and she routinely corresponded with him. Any
implication to the contrary is absolutely false.
Hillary
Was Transparent About Her Emails.
Hillary
insisted again on Thursday that she’d been fully transparent about her
emails. Even the State Department has rejected that nonsense repeatedly. The
hearings did provide some perspective into just why Hillary might have deleted
30,000 emails, however, she claimed that her correspondence about Libya, which
dropped dramatically from 2011 to 2012, was not because she cared less about
the country—it was because she had people shuttling documents to her in
suitcases. In fact, she said, she didn’t even have a computer in her office. A
State Department email address could have confirmed whether any of that was
true. Now we will presumably never know.
Chris
Stevens Was Responsible for His Own Death.
The
most despicable lie of the day came from Hillary’s defense of her own conduct
via ripping Chris Stevens, the dead ambassador. She spent virtually the entire
day suggesting that Stevens knew the risks of his job, that he accepted those
risks, and that he died knowing those risks. She even said that Stevens “felt
comfortable” on the ground. If that is true, it’s certainly odd that the State
Department team in Libya asked for more security over 600 times. Hillary said
she didn’t receive any of those requests and blamed her security team for not
granting more security—all the while saying she took responsibility for what
had happened.
Then,
the capper: Hillary said that when Stevens wrote an email asking about whether
the Benghazi compound would be closed, he was just being a sly jokester. She
said, “One of the great attributes that Chris Stevens had was a really good
sense of humor, and I just see him smiling as he’s typing this because it’s
clearly in response to the email down below talking about picking up a few
‘fire sale items from the Brits.’” When told that those “fire sale items” were
security barricades, Hillary answered, “Well, I thought it showed their
entrepreneurial spirit.” Disgusting.
Hillary
Clinton was largely responsible for a pointless invasion of Libya, which
promptly turned into a terrorist-run hellhole. She was responsible for the
security of her diplomats in Libya, but she didn’t provide for it. She had no
correspondence with those diplomats on the ground but plenty of time for Sidney
Blumenthal. When those diplomats and those who ran to help them were killed,
she blamed a YouTube video. And finally, she used her jerry-rigged email server
to selectively edit the material the public would see.
But
don’t worry—Hillary’s the victim. Republicans are the perpetrators. And Chris
Stevens is just one more bump in the road on her journey to the White
House.

The One Question Trey Gowdy Struggled to
Answer Following Clinton’s Benghazi Testimony

The chairman of the House
Select Committee on Benghazi could not say Thursday whether an extensive
11-hour hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed
anything new about the deadly 2012 terror attacks in Libya.
When asked what new information the hearing
provided the public with, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) paused momentarily.
“Uh,” he said. “I think some of Jimmy Jordan’s
questioning — well, when you say new today, we knew some of that already. We
knew about the emails.”
“In terms of her testimony, I don’t know that
she testified that much differently today than she has the previous times she
testified,” the South Carolina Republican added.
Gowdy said he would “have to go back and look at
the transcript” to better be able to answer the question.
The inability for the chairman of the
controversial committee to answer the question would most certainly be used by
the Clinton campaign in its efforts to portray the hearing as a partisan witch
hunt. In recent weeks, Clinton and her surrogates have seized on comments made
by two House Republicans to contend the committee was formed to weaken her poll
numbers heading into the 2016 presidential elections.

Transcript:
HH: On a day of huge headlines from Capitol Hill
and from polling around the country, Donald Trump has surged to a commanding
lead in the Washington Post/ABC poll. He’s ahead in the Bowling Green
University poll in Ohio, and in fact, he leads every poll I’ve seen except one
with Iowa. We’ll talk about that, but Donald Trump, welcome back to the Hugh
Hewitt Show, great to talk to you.
DT: Great to be with you, Hugh.
HH: Let me begin with former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. Have you had a chance to watch any of today’s hearings?
DT: No, I want to get your input, because I
actually watched her first five minutes, and then I had to go, because I had a
big meeting. And I thought her opening remarks really looked bad, but I don’t
know. I have not been hearing positive things. How is she doing?
HH: Terribly. There are smoking guns all over
the place. It’s an armory of smoking guns. Let me play for you one exchange.
This is Congressman Mike Pompeo talking to her, Donald Trump, about security at
the embassy.
MP: Do you know how many security requests there
were in the 1st quarter of 2012?
HRC: For everyone or for Benghazi?
MP: For, I’m sorry, yes, ma’am, related to
Benghazi and Libya. Do you know how many there were?
HRC: No, I do not know.
MP: Ma’am, there were just over a hundred-plus.
In the 2nd quarter, do you know how many there were?
HRC: No, I do not.
MP: Ma’am, there were 172ish. Might have been
171 or 173. That’s…how many were there in July and August, and then that week
and a few days before the attacks, do you know?
HRC: There were a number of them. I know that.
MP: Yes, ma’am, 83, by our count. That’s over
600 requests. You’ve testified here this morning that you had none of those
reach your desk. Is that correct also?
HRC: That’s correct.
MP: Madame Secretary, Mr. Blumenthal wrote you
150 emails. It appears from the materials that we’ve read that all of those
reached your desk.
HH: What do you make of that, Donald Trump?
DT: Wow, that’s unbelievable. That sounds pretty
amazing. So these were requests for protection, essentially?
HH: Yes.
DT: Wow, that’s not good. So hundreds and
hundreds of requests? I would say that doesn’t sound so good. I mean, I just
saw, you know, it was very interesting, because I did have to leave, and I
watched maybe five or six minutes, maybe ten minutes, her opening remarks, and
the way she was reading them, it sounded terrible. The whole thing sounded
terrible. And I thought, I was very, I was so looking forward, and I am looking
forward, actually. You know, I’m going to Florida. I’m doing a big thing at
Doral tomorrow, like thousands of people, and we’re going to have 15,000 people
in Jacksonville, Florida. I said I have to go back upstairs. I don’t want to
watch this hearing. But I can get, from you, I’ll get better than watching it.
That’s the thing I like about you. So you think that, I mean, you think that
she is not doing well?
HH: I think she’s doing terrible, and there’s
one aspect I want to go to your Art of the Deal experience.
DT: Okay.
HH: She has listened to the [Congressmen] with
her hand on her face, with her head, you know, cocked to one side
contemptuously throughout hours and hours of testimony. When you see that at a
negotiation, Donald Trump, what does that tell you?
DT: Well, I think she’s trying to feign boredom,
but I think she probably wants to just get out of there. It really, you know,
sort of indicates two things. But she’s trying to feign disdain and boredom.
And it just sounded to me, I have other friends that have been watching it very
studiously today, and they are really surprised. You know, when I watched Trey
Gowdy on, I think it was Face The Nation this weekend, it sounded to me like he
was not going to go after her that much, Hugh, because he was sort of saying
well, we have other people, and she’s just a small part of it. It sounded to me
like he was pulling back. But as I’m hearing it today, they’re not pulling back
at all. They’re really going into it, and I’m just hearing she’s looking very
bad. Maybe Biden did the wrong thing getting out yesterday.
HH: Maybe he did. Here is a second, the smoking
gun exchange. This is Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan with the former Secretary of
State.
JJ: In that email you sent to your family,
here’s what you said at 11:00 that night, approximately one hour after you told
the American people it was a video, you say to your family two officers were
killed today in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group. So you tell the American
people one thing, you tell your family an entirely different story. Also, on
the night of the attack, you had a call with the president of Libya. Here’s
what you said to him. Ansar al-Sharia is claiming responsibility. It’s
interesting. Mr. Khattala, one of the guys arrested and charged, actually
belonged to that group. And finally, and most significantly, the next day,
within 24 hours, you had a conversation with the Egyptian prime minister. You
told him this. We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It
was a planned attack, not a protest. Let me read that one more time…
HH: Now Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham has called
these the smoking gun emails.
DT: Yeah, well, it’s…
HH: What do you think?
DT: …certainly a part of it. It’s certainly a
part of it, and it’s so different than what she’s been saying for so long. So
that’s a problem for her. Wow. Very interesting.
HH: Do you think when you lose…
DT: You must be, you must find this very
interesting, I would say, as a student. You must find this very interesting.
HH: Oh, I think her credibility is shattered,
and I wonder, once you lose credibility, how do you get it back, Donald Trump?
DT: It’s very hard. It’s very hard, especially
when you lose it in such a public forum. You know, a lot people are watching
and want to watch it, and they’re going to be going home tonight, like me, and
they want to devour it. And they want to see what’s going on. And I mean, just
from the little bit that you’ve played for me. And plus, there’s a level of,
you know, the questions are tough. They’re tough. The way they’re put is very
tough. And…
HH: Let me ask you this. This is also occurred
to me.
DT: I think it’s amazing.
HH: …as appropriate for Donald Trump. Lots of
people want to get to you. Obviously, you’ve got hundreds of thousands of
people want to get to you. They want you in their deals. They want your name,
etc. If someone like Sidney Blumenthal gets through to you 130 times, and you
respond to them, does that person have standing? Should we as an outsider say
that person has standing with Donald Trump, or in this case, with Hillary?
DT: Yes, that person, that person has great
standing, and Blumenthal obviously had great standing. Most people are not able
to get through. I’d say 99.9, most people are not able to get through to
somebody like Hillary. He gets through, and from what everybody tells me, this
is not a good person. And this is not a person that she should be dealing with.
And I think the President, as I remember from seeing it a long time ago, didn’t
they even request that she not deal with him? They don’t like him.
HH: Yes.
DT: They don’t want him dealing with her? So
she’s doing that behind the President’s back, and in theory, she’s working with
the President and for the President. So I think that’s amazing, and I noticed
how much he seemed, the access he seemed to have to her. And has that come up,
yet, today?
HH: Oh, yeah, quite a lot. Sidney Blumenthal is
in this hearing more than Ambassador Stevens is in this hearing.
DT: Wow.
HH: And it just goes to the fact that he
basically owns a private channel. And does anyone have that to you, Donald
Trump? If you’re the president of the United States, does anyone have a back
channel to you that we should know about going in?
DT: I would say Ivanka, Ivanka Trump, okay?
HH: (laughing)
DT: Maybe nobody else. You know, it’s amazing,
and what really amazed me is the level of hatred and I think distrust and
everything else that the President had for Blumenthal. You know, it’s really
surprising that she’d do that, because she actually, I thought somewhere along
the line, sort of indicated like she wouldn’t be dealing with him much anymore.
HH: She did. Let me talk to you about secret
servers, because the CIA director’s email’s been hacked. She had a secret
server. These emails are now appearing. Are your emails at the Trump operation,
and your servers’ protected? Does the private sector have an advantage here
over government contracting?
DT: They’re in theory very secure, but you know,
honestly, my emails are so boring, I would release them tomorrow. My emails are
not exciting, and I’m not a big fan of the email stuff. You know, I’ve seen so
many people have problems because of emails. I’ve watched it. And you know,
going a step further, I’m not sure, I have a son who’s 9 years old. He’s so
good with computers. And I’m not sure with computers that you know, as
wonderful as they are in so many different ways, you know, we’re talking about
technology. In the old days, when you wanted to attack, you’d have a courier
with armed guards, and you’d have an envelope, and you’d give it to the
general, right?
HH: Right.
DT: Now, you send it to the general, and you
don’t have, you have no idea how many people are watching and reading, they’re,
you know, they’re hacking your messages. It’s really pretty, I think MacArthur
would not like the whole concept of computers. You understand what I mean.
There are so many brilliant people out there that understand the innards of
these machines, and when you look at heads of agencies that have been totally
hacked, and I mean totally hacked, and I guess there was one yesterday or the
day before where some young kid was hacking top people in different agencies.
HH: Yup.
DT: I mean, that’s pretty sad stuff. I’m not
sure that you could stop it, to be honest with you.
HH: So are you going to, are you assuming that
everything…
DT: I think computers are very, when you talk
about lack of security, I think there’s a great lack of security with
computers, I’ll tell you.
HH: Are you assuming that everything that you
put on an email, or you put into a direct message, is public?
DT: I assume that.
HH: All right, that’s a good rule.
DT: And it’s totally illegal for people to do
things about it, but I assume that when I send out emails, and when I sent,
which are very seldom, frankly, I’m not a big believer. I like to do it as
little as possible. But I assume that they’re being looked at by other people.
HH: All right, let’s move to the polls. As I
said at the beginning, and I was on CNN this morning with Chris Cuomo, you’re
ahead in the Washington Post poll by a lot.
DT: Right.
HH: Not insignificant, by a lot. You’re ahead in
everything except this Iowa Quinnipiac poll. Why is that the outlier? What’s
going on in Iowa?
DT: Well, I was very surprised to see it. You
know, I was in Iowa last night. We had 4,000 people. It was packed. It was
great. It was a lovefest. It was amazing. And I was actually surprised, I’m not
saying that a thing like that can’t happen, but I was very, very surprised to
see it, because I think we’re doing well in Iowa. I have a feeling we’re doing
much better in Iowa than the polls are showing, if you want to know the truth.
But we had an amazing crowd, I’m sure you saw it, because it was all over
television.
HH: I did.
DT: I mean, I left there literally at 10:00 in
the evening last night. I got home at 12:30, and I saw it on television, and
everybody saw it. It was a big thing. It was really amazing. It was, the level
of love in that room, and love for the country in that room, was absolutely
beautiful to watch. And I was very surprised. I saw the poll. I was leading in
Iowa, and not by a huge amount, but I was leading in Iowa, and I was very
surprised to see that I wasn’t. That’s the only one I’ve had that I’m not
leading. And you know, Massachusetts came out, I think it’s 48-12 or something
like that.
HH: Yes, it’s huge.
DT: And so many have come out…
HH: The Emerson poll.
DT: But I was very surprised, I was really very
surprised to see Iowa. It’s fine, but I was very surprised to see. I’m not sure
I agree with it, and we’ll see what happens.
HH: Now polls are often wrong. They were wrong
in Canada this week. They were wrong in Great Britain. They were wrong in
Israel. They were wrong in the United States in the fall of 2014. Let’s talk
about Canada. What do you think happened up there? Why did it go from a red
with Stephen Harper to a deep blue with the young Trudeau boy?
DT: Well, Harper was there for a long time, and
you know, when you’re there for a long time, a lot of times, people want to see
change, not Obama change, you know, but they want to see change. They want to
see something, somebody different. And he looks to me, I know very little about
him, he’s on the liberal side, but he looks to me to be attractive. His father,
I knew his father, actually, and his father was, you know, quite a character at
the time. And he’s an attractive, young guy, and somehow he resonated. You
know, it’s all about if you resonate. Let’s see, and he did resonate. There’s
no question about it.
HH: Yeah, I shouldn’t have called him a boy. I
meant son. I mean son, the Trudeau son, not the Trudeau boy. He’s 30-plus. He’s
not a boy. He’s a man, but…
DT: Yeah.
HH: Have you spent much time in Canada? Do you
know much about Canada?
DT: I do. I know something about some of the
major cities in Toronto and other places.
HH: So what’s your opinion of that country? I
mean, they’ve made a U-turn. It’s a big change.
DT: I love Canada. I think it’s an incredible
country. It is heading in a different direction than you might love or I might
love, but we’ll see what happens. He’s not overly liberal. You know, he’s, but
he’s certainly a lot different than what you had in there before. There are
many countries going that way. And there are a couple going the opposite way. I
find, and have you watched this stuff just over the years, Hugh, you see the
countries going, a lot of times they’ll go one direction and then boom, they
swing back, and they usually go the opposite way. So it was very interesting to
see that happen.
HH: They have a very open immigration policy
there, and as you know, some of the 9/11 attackers came into this country from
Canada.
DT: Right.
HH: Do we need more control of the Canadian
border in the way that you’ve talked about controlling the Mexican border?
DT: Well, the Canadian border is a much, much longer
border, and it just doesn’t seem that, and certainly you can have problems up
there, and I know one of our brilliant candidates said let’s build a wall on
the Canadian border. I actually thought he was joking when he said that, but I
guess he wasn’t, and maybe that’s why he’s not in the race anymore. But we have
to just, we need vigilance all over. Let’s face it, we need vigilance all over.
We have to have people watching all over. On the Southern border, I think we
have, I definitely feel we have to have a wall, and we can have, and walls do
work, by the way. Walls do work. But on the Southern border, we need a wall.
HH: All right, now I ask you every time I see
you in person at the debate or on the phone if your military/national security
team is ready to be rolled out, yet. Have you gotten close to rolling it out,
yet?
DT: Well, I’ve had meetings with people, and I
felt very strongly about, you know, that whole subject for a long period of
time, long before this, long before this run. I’ve felt very, very strongly
about it. I think there’s nothing more important. And you know, another thing
that people don’t ever bring up, and they literally never bring it up, I bring
it up all the time, is the way our vets are being treated, because they are
being treated horribly. I’m seeing more, and you know, I get to see, on the
trail, I now go on the campaign trail. I would have never thought I would have
said that, because I’ve been a politician for three months now. But on the
trail, I meet so many vets, and they are being devastated by what’s going on at
the Veterans Administration. It’s incredible, but I do have a great group of
people, and at the right time, I’m going to roll them out. I think you’ll be
impressed. I think even you will be impressed, Hugh.
HH: Is there a Kissinger among them? Is there a
Zbieg among them? Someone who is going to stand out and really guide the Trump
worldview?
DT: I think there are people that are
highly-respected. I don’t want to use, you know, necessarily the names that you
just used, but I think they’re people that are highly-respected, and people
that when they hear the names, people will be impressed, people that know, like
yourself, will be impressed.
HH: Now I’ve talked to you before about military
spending, and you’ve assured this audience you are going to be very robust in
spending money. The F-35 is the aircraft of the future. It’s already $160
billion dollars over budget. We were supposed to sell 3,100 of them to our
allies and to ourselves, and Canada’s going to drop its order now. A program
like this, are you down into the weeds, yet, on the F-35 or the Ohio-class
replacement? Or are you going to let other people brief you up on that as you
get closer to the White House?
DT: Well, I do what briefings, but I do hear
that it’s not very good. I’m hearing that our existing planes are better. And
one of the pilots came out of the plane, one of the test pilots, and said this
isn’t as good as what we already have. And to spend billions and billions of
dollars on something that maybe isn’t as good, but, and I don’t know if you’ve
heard that. Have you been hearing that also?
HH: Well, there are big problems with the F-35,
yes, absolutely.
DT: Yeah, well, I mean, big problems. They’re
saying it doesn’t perform as well as our existing equipment, which is much less
expensive. So when I hear that, immediately I say we have to do something,
because you know, they’re spending billions. This is a plane. There’s never
been anything like it in terms of cost. And how about, you know, we’re retooling
with planes that aren’t as good as the ones we have, and the test pilots are
amazing people. They know better than anybody, okay, and I think you would
accept that.
HH: Yes.
DT: When they say that this cannot perform as
well, as the planes we already have, what are doing, and spending so much more
money?
HH: All right, now I’m close to the end of my
time, and I always get hit by my audience for not asking you any fun questions,
so here’s some fun questions. Do you watch college football?
DT: I do.
HH: Who do you cheer for other than The Ohio
State University Buckeyes?
DT: Well, I do, I have a lot of respect, I have
a lot of respect for that coach, wouldn’t you think? I mean, look what happens
every place he goes. I used to think it was his great quarterback in Florida
that caused all of this, but I mean, here he has three quarterbacks last year
and he did so well. So I do have great respect for that team. I certainly have
respect for the Notre Dame program, you look at it. I find it amazing to watch
different programs. You look at what happened to Texas, how bad that’s gone,
and I look at, you know, things like that, too. I like to see the good, the
bad, ugly. I like to see what’s happening. But you have some very interesting,
you have some very interesting teams. I think Alabama is looking stronger and
stronger.
HH: So by the way, is there…
DT: But with all of that being said, I don’t get
to watch too much, because I am doing pretty much what you and I talk 95% of
the time about. But I do find it, I love all sports, actually.
HH: But you don’t, you don’t have, your heart is
not sold to any club like mine is to the Buckeyes? You don’t have a number one
affection?
DT: No, not to that extent. I like watching it.
I watch it a little bit from afar. I don’t have a lot of time to watch it, but
I certainly enjoy it.
HH: And if you’re president, will you fill out
the NCAA brackets like President Obama has made a habit of doing every year? Or
do you think that’s a silly exercise of time?
DT: I’d rather spend my time doing other things.
I think it’s fine that he does it, but you know, honestly, I’d rather spend my
time, we’ve got a lot of problems. We’ve got $19 trillion in debt. We have our
horrible, that terrible deal, one of the most incompetent deals of any kind
that I’ve seen with Iran. We have so many problems in this country, I’d really
rather, I have no objection to him doing it. He wants to play games. But I’d
really rather spend my time doing more important things.
HH: Now you do play a lot of golf, though, don’t
you?
DT: I used to. I haven’t been very much. I used
to play a lot of golf. I mean, a lot of golf, I’d play once a week or twice a
week. I own some of the greatest clubs in the world. I own Doral, the Blue
Monster. I own Turnberry in Scotland, home of the British Open.
HH: Oh, I know. I’ve got…
DT: One of the greatest places in the world, but
I don’t get to use it.
HH: I’ve got a Donald Trump IOU for Turnberry. I
get to play Turnberry. But what’s your handicap?
DT: Well, I’ve worn a lot of club championships,
and I would say that now, it would be four, because I’m a good golfer.
HH: Oh, gosh.
DT: I would say four, but I’ve worn many club
championships where you have to beat scratch golfers. So I’ve been a good
golfer…
HH: You know, you’re not going to win a lot of
votes if you go out and tell people you’re a four handicap. Everybody above
four is not going to like you.
DT: I know. No, well, I haven’t been playing
very much, but I think I’d be okay at four. But I haven’t been playing very
much. I would say now, I’m averaging one round every two and a half weeks. Can
you believe that? Two and a half, three weeks. That’s terrible.
HH: That’s terrible.
DT: But you know, I’m all over the place. And
honestly, it’s so exciting what I’m going. I’m having such a good time doing it
that I’m not thinking in terms of golf. Does that make sense to you?
HH: It does.
DT: It’s just like too exciting.
HH: My last question has to do with your access
in the media. You let Mark Leibovich, who is one of the world’s great writers,
come fly with you on Trump One back and forth across the country. And Mark is a
friend of this program, he’s a friend of mine. He’s a great writer. Are you
doing a lot of that? Are you saying come on in, people, and follow me around,
you’ll get the real Trump?
DT: I don’t really, you know, mind. I did, I
liked Mark. He’s a nice guy. I was disappointed in the cover. It’s a cover in
the New York Times magazine, and they put, like, I don’t know, they had some
artwork. And inside, they had one of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of
myself. I loved the picture, but it wasn’t on the cover. So anyway, they didn’t
put the kind of picture that you would normally, it was a cover story,
actually, but they didn’t use the good picture. I think Mark’s a terrific guy,
actually, and I do open it up to people. And I think you have to, I think you
have an obligation. You’re running for office, you have to open it up. But I’m
on the cover of so many magazines. I’m on the cover of the Forbes 400. I’m on
the cover of Time Magazine. I’m on the cover of People Magazine. I’m just
looking at my desk. I have covers all over the place. So…
HH: So these are the last two questions. Do you
think Hillary will ever allow that kind of access to her that you gave to
Leibovich? Or does she have too much to hide?
DT: I don’t think she will, unless it’s to a
very friendly person.
HH: And then finally, a lot of people like you
because your kids are all great.
DT: Right.
HH: And they opened up in People. And of your
kids, have any of them caused you problems or angst? Or have you just hit the
golden win streak here?
DT: No, I think, you know, there are certain
problems, but nothing like, you know, I have friends that have tremendous
problems with their children, and I see what they go through, and it’s a very
sad thing with drugs and different things. And they haven’t caused me that kind
of problems. They’ve been very good, and they’ve been good students. They’ve
gone to good schools, and they’ve bene very good students, so I’m proud of
them. And now the three older ones are in the business with me, Ivanka, Don and
Eric, and we’re very proud of the job they’re doing. So I really think,
certainly little chugs along the way, but overall, I’m very happy with them.
I’m very proud of them.
HH: And they like the campaign life? They like
being out there with dad on the…
DT: They enjoy it. They love seeing what’s
happening. I mean, you know, in Jacksonville…
HH: Oh, interesting….
DT: I think we’re going to have 15,000 people on
Saturday night, 15,000, and it could be much more than that. But I mean, when I
say 15, I like to use the lower numbers so that we can always, but I think
we’re probably talking about 15,000 people, and Doral, in Florida, which is
tomorrow night, we’re going to have thousands of people.
HH: Have a great trip. I’ve overstayed my time.
Tell Hope I’m sorry, and I’ll talk to you next time, Donald Trump.
DT: Don’t worry, I look forward to it. Thank you
very much, Hugh.
HH: Thank you, be well.
DT: So long.

LAZARO R GONZALEZ
Para Alcalde del Condado Miami Dade
Escriba el nombre de Lázaro R González en
el espacio de la boleta electoral en blanco
Si quiere que se acabe el relajo, el robo, el descaro, la mala
administración y que el gobierno le responda a usted y no que sea un feudo de
los políticos inescrupulosos, no permita más abusos envie nuestros mensajes a sus
amigos y conocidos.
Recuerde que “NO Deseamos Donaciones de Dinero”
Algunas de las cosas mal hechas, estupideces, derroche de dinero público del actual alcalde
y los anteriores. Esto tiene que terminar. Yo me comprometo a acabar con todo
lo mal hecho en los desgobiernos anteriores. Lázaro R González
El problema de los gastos del gobierno condal en Miami
es de primera atención. Los salarios de los empleados del condado tienen
elevados salarios y pensiones de retiros. Por ejemplo cuando el alcalde actual
deje de serlo entonces recibirá una pensión de $150,000. Creo que estamos
manteniendo demasiadas personas cobrando demasiado en salarios y pensiones. El
60% de los ingresos del condado se gastan en pensiones a los retirados. ¿?
En el
condado funcionan bien muy pocas cosas. Existen 50,000 personas que están
esperando en la lista del programa Plan 8. Varios edificios que están semi
abandonados y que se están cayendo a pedazos fabricados y carecen de los
estacionamientos. “Ahora mismo hay uno en West Kendall que los construyeron
pero esta vacío porque tienes que dar casi $4,000 dólares para poder vivir ahí
y las personas que fueron e hicieron la cola no tienen los $4,000 dólares”. “El
alcalde Giménez en los últimos dos años se ha enfocado en lo que se llama
“Workforce Housing” el ha dado propiedades de Miami Dade, terrenos de Miami
Dade para construir casas que se están ofreciendo a $170 mil dólares y esas
casas no se le están vendiendo a las personas que están en listas de espera y
no tiene un proceso aprobado por el departamento de vivienda a nivel de
Washington”, ahora están hablando de gastarse más de $70 millones de dólares en
el proyecto Liberty Squere. Hay una crisis en el departamento de viviendas de
Miami Dade. Actualizar la lista de las personas que esperan por vivienda sería
un buen paso para comenzar a reparar el daño, el sistema de computadoras que tiene el
condado, señalando “que es anticuado”. “Hace aproximadamente 6 meses el
gobierno federal encontró que el departamento de viviendas públicas de Miami
Dade, había dado más de $2 millones de dólares erróneamente a compañías que no
cumplieron con el requisito federal, y que decidió Carlos Giménez “pues Giménez
decidió pagar la multa, no con el dinero que tenemos ahora, sino con el dinero
que vamos a recibir para las viviendas en dos años”. De acuerdo con el alcalde
Giménez, “en Washington no hay dinero y que el estado no le quiere dar dinero
al condado Miami Dade”. Entre las
cosas que el actual Alcalde prosiguió dando apoyo a los Tolls que se han
apoderado de las carreteras locales que fueron construidas con el dinero de los
ciudadanos de Miami. No solo le da apoyo al MDX si no que para colmo del
desparpajo no solo quiere ser de nuevo alcalde del condado sino que también
quiere que lo nombren presidente del MDX. QUE DIOS NOS COJA CONFESADOS. Si
ahora los miembros del MDX tienen salarios de más de 100,000 dólares. Si es así
para mí esto es un abuso y un descaro. La historia de Giménez en eso de
sacarles dinero a los ciudadanos es en lo que él es mejor.
Hace unos cuantos meses se nos pidió nada más que 30,000 millones de
dólares para reparar el sistema del alcantarillado de Miami y yo por lo menos
no he visto hacer un hueco para reparar ningún alcantarillado todavía pero el
dinero ya si está ahí sacándonos en formas de taxes adelantados para gastarlo.
¿Qué paso donde está el dinero cuando van a empezar a reparar el bendito y
multi-millonario del alcantarillado de oro de Miami? ¿A dónde fue a parar todo
el dinero que nos cobran por servirnos el agua y los impuestos que cobran para
mantener los alcantarillados? ¿Qué paso se esfumo ese dinero. Donde están
hechas las alcantarillas nuevas?
También nos pidieron los intocables de la Comision de Educacion al el pueblo de Miami aprobó que se le dieran
creo que $12,000’000,000.00 Doce mil Millones de dólares para el Departamento
de Educación para reparar las escuelas. También me pregunto a donde se fue
todos los millones que recaudan de impuestos a los ciudadanos todos los años La
comisión de Educacion. Yo personalmente no he visto ni siquiera un persona con
una brocha pintando una escuela o cogiendo una gotera en los techos. Señores
son $12,000 Millones… $12,000 Millones.
Giménez no hablo nada mas de los autos de la policía que recientemente
se encontraron un edificio de parqueo con cientos o miles de carros para el
condado o la policía, supuestamente destinados a la policía, que se estaban
pudriendo en un parque porque nadie los uso. La prensa formo el escándalo y
todo el mundo se disgustó y protesto. Pero nada paso. Quién es el culpable de
que esto ocurriera. A quien despidieron?
¿A quién han puesto en la cárcel? Algunos han dicho que los escándalos estos se
desatan por la prensa y luego se callan porque el dinero corre por debajo de
los tapetes y todos se callan. Tampoco Gimenes no hablo nada del el Jefe de la
policía de Miami apareció muerto dicen que suicidado, primero dijeron que había sido asesinado, y
después entonces lo suicidaron y de pronto la prensa no hablo más del asunto y
todo el mundo se quedó esperando si se murió o lo murieron. Y aquí paz y en el cielo gloria: Sun Centinel. Tuesday Oct. 6, 2015. Otro de
los problemas más acuciantes es la locura del incremento de los taxes de la
propiedad. En esto hay algo que es repugnante porque ellos han dicho que no han
subido los impuestos, gracias al buen trabajo del alcalde y el que está a cargo
de los taxes. Yo pienso que lo que hay es una falta de respeto a la
inteligencia de los ciudadanos porque SI
SE SUBIEROSN LOS TAXES. El amillaramiento que es el valor de los taxes
que se le graban a usted lo fijaron creo que alrededor de un 1 % O sea que si
se pusieron impuestos pero no solo eso sino que Los taxes que ustedes pagan
están tasados sobre el valor de su propiedad y EL VALOR DE LA PROPIEDAD SI FUE
ELEVADO “Y MUCHO ESTE ANO” ALGO QUE LO HACEN TODOS LOS ANOS. Así que eso de
decir que los taxes no fueron aumentados, es mentira… Comparen lo que pagan este 2015 con lo que pagaron en el 2014 y vean
si les cobran más o no.
Yo creo que en el condado hay demasiadas personas “Trabajando” y
Cobrando muchísimos más dinero que los que normalmente ganan los ciudadanos que
no trabajan en el condado. ¿Por Qué?
Porque es muy fácil gastar el dinero de los ciudadanos que tontamente se
dejan quitar el dinero en taxes y toles, por los políticos. Tenemos 5 nuevos
vice alcaldes. Unas posiciones que nunca habían existido en el Condado Miami.
Solo teníamos un administrador y ya!!! Que invento es ese. ¿Es que los Virreyes
son amigos del alcalde y los acomodo?
Sabían ustedes que el hijo del alcalde es uno de los CABILDEROS más
influyentes en el Condado Miami en que su papa es el alcalde. Dice un vecino
mío que todo queda en casa. Es legal que el hijo de un alcalde sea cabildero
donde su papa es el que “ordena y manda”.
El crimen es altísimo en Miami, Yo creo que es más alto que en toda la
historia de Miami. Los noticieros de la televisión todos los días llenan los
espacios de noticias “Sangrientas” de
asesinatos y todos los días es así. Los casos de tráfico de drogas son cada vez
más populares y más dañinos y terribles. ¿Que pasa la policía está de
vacaciones permanente? El transito es un
verdadero infierno para que las personas usen las carreteras. Los accidentes
son el pan nuestro de cada día. Las autopistas son sucursales de las funerarias
y los Hospitales. Las calles están más atiborradas de autos y cada día hay más
accidentes, las calles son francamente sucursales de un manicomio de primera
clase. Y que hace el gobierno (Nada) Dicen en la TV que el tiempo de la luz
amarilla le han quitado tiempo para poder ponerle un ticket a los que doblan a
la derecha en los semáforos y eso ha creado accidentes. .
En Hialeah se ha terminado hace más de un año una purificadora de agua
y nadie se ha podido tomar todavía un vaso de agua porque no sirve lo que
purifica. Quien estuvo a cargo de esto, cuando van a meter a un político en la
cárcel y le van a quitar todo lo que se robó. Pero no aquí no pasa nada. En
varas de las ciudades del condado se están poniendo a políticos a disposición
de la policía. (Espero que la policía haga algo) Con respeto lo único que hace
la policía es levantar el acta y mandarle a los que han sido saqueando una
copia del acta y ya!
Tenemos una fuente de saqueo a los ciudadanos de Miami y de todo el
estado de la Florida que es la que es La lotería de La Florida, donde nadie
sabe quién es el que se gana el premio. Alguien me puede decir porque solamente
aquí hay tres lugares en que se juega: Los Micosuky, Los Perros y El hipódromo
de Hialeah. Porque estas tres entidades son los UNICOS que tienen derecho a
expoliar a los jugadores. Estas entidades que yo sepa no contribuyen a nada en
el Condado. Porque no se aprobó un casino ahí en donde estaba El Herald. POR
QUE???? Porque unos si y otros no. Nosotros podemos tener un sistema como el de las Vegas y es más,
mucho mejor. Podemos invitar a La mujer del Raton Mike de Orlando, a que su
esposa se bañe en tanguita en la playa mientrasMike juega en un casino como los
de Las Vegas y que tengan que dejar impuestos en Miami y así disminuir los
abusivos taxes del gobierno condal de Miami. Que alguien me diga porque esto no
se puede hacer. De todas maneras nos están saqueando con la Lotería de La
Florida, donde nunca se quién se la saca. Mientras que en todos los mercados de
Miami y gasolineras etc. Te venden los tickes de la Lotería Saqueadora de los
bolsillos de los trabajadores.
Nadie me puede justificar porque aquí se cobran todos esos taxes,
tolls y otros cobros que son muchísimos, tan exagerados y asfixiantes de los
ciudadanos del Condado Miami porque con los miles de millones que genera el
Puerto de Miami y los otros miles de millones que genera el aeropuerto de
Miami. Estos dos solos Generan dinero más que suficiente para mantener las
calles de Miami pavimentadas con Plata Mejicana. En que se gasta ese
dineral? Porque no se presentan en
público todo el dinero que generan estas dos entidades y en que se malgastan.
Eso es si tocar todos los muchos generadores de dinero al condado.
El transporte de pasajeros en Miami es una porquería, las guaguas
están sucias vienen cuando les da la gana y casi siempre vienen atrasadas y
medio bacías. Porque el pueblo no las usa. PORQUE SON INEFICIENTES E
INSUFUCIENTES PARA TODO EL QUE DESEARIA USARLAS. El un dinero que se derrocha y
que no resuelve ningún problema. Se debe vender todo este sistema de trasporte
a particulares y que ellos que si saben transportar personas sea las que se
ocupen de resolver el problema. Ademas toda esa GIGANTESCA NOMINA DE
TRABAJADORES DEL TRANSPORTE Se eliminaría de cuajo y ellos pasarían a trabajar
en la empresa privada como debe ser. Ustedes se recuerdan cuando algunos
particulares pusieron guaguas a dar servicio por donde los Miaminses
necesitavan ir y aquiello se hizo muy popular. Creo que le decían “La Conchita”
Lo que p[asa que como siempre el gobierno es inepto y eso tiene que cambiar.
Nosotros tenemos el mejor lugar del MUNDO para vacacionar, playas,
restaurantes, podemos hacer casinos, cabaret’s y Parques temáticos, Tenemos los
moles más bonitos y mejor surtidos del mundo. Pero no hacemos nada porque
estamos rodeados de enanos anormales que son electos. Y el pueblo duerme el
“Sueño eterno” ¿Y nadie despierta? Parece mentira que la industria permite al
gobierno manteniendo a Miami como una aldea retrograda.
Porque no se ha invitado y se les da facilidades a las grandes
corporaciones de producción de películas de Hollywood a que vengan aquí a hacer
películas y que establezcan estudios aquí. Las Películas de playas no podrán
ser mejores que aquí porque el frio del agua de California le pone los pelos de
punta a cualquiera que se meta en el agua. Aquí el agua es carentica y las
playas no puedes ser más bellas.
Los noticieros de la TV y Los periódicos diariamente están llenos de cadáveres (Parecen
cementerios todos los días) porque los accidentes. La ciudad es un expendido de
drogas de todos los colores y sabores.
Y la policía bien gracias. Los Miembros de los algunos gobiernos de los
diferentes municipios terminan en las cárceles porque son unos delincuentes,
Las oficinas de los gobiernos es una extensión de la familia de los Alcaldes y
otros funcionarios. Otros terminan en
manos de la policía porque hacen cosas locas en Motos o automóviles borrachos
conduciendo a mucha más de la velocidad permitida. Otros se dedican a robar los
bienes de los ciudadanos. Tenemos una falta de moral, decencia y legalidad.
Pudiera estar escribiendo cientos de páginas más de miserias y violaciones y
burlas a los ciudadanos por los gobernantes. Yo siempre he estado esperando que
el pueblo de Miami forme un “motín” como
el que ocurrió en el pequeño pueblo de Bell en California, donde el pueblo tomo
la alcandía y llevo hasta la cárcel a patadas por los fondillos a los comisionados
y al alcalde donde todavía están ahí por ladrones y descarados.
Quieren vivir en un lugar decente, donde no malgasten su dinero ni le
cobren taxes donde el dinero no se usa para el bienestar de los ciudadanos y la
comunidad y vivir con tranquilidad y
legalidad. Yo soy la persona que quiero y lo puede hacer que eso sea una
realidad. Si ustedes me apoyan estoy dispuesto hacerlo. Los que quieren votar
por mi endrán que hacerlo en la boleta en blanco. No habrá propaganda en TV o
periódicos ni pasquines. No recogeremos dinero para campaña, ni para nada. Lo
que podemos haremos es poner los anuncios en mi sitio Web y en mi página “En mi
opinión” Ustedes pueden copiar mis mensajes y ponerlos en sus sitio web y en
Facebook. Coméntenlo con sus amigos y familiares. Así es que le vamos a ganar a
los que no se merecen ser sus representantes en el gobierno.
