I can't claim that I have ever been neutral on Hillary Clinton's run for the Democratic Nomination. I have most definitely been pro Bernie and to a lesser extent anti-Hillary /end disclaimer.
So a few days ago. Hillary Clinton all on her own praised Nancy Reagan for her quiet advocacy on the issue of AIDS victims. Now if she was just wrong I could leave it at that. But, she wasn't merely wrong it turns out she knew at least two people personally they were on her staff and they died of AIDS. Surely, they let her know the Reagan's were not their friends in getting funding to study the disease, funding to raise awareness, and funding for the sickest patients that needed assistance for their daily living and funding for hospice care. No, the Reagans were well known to have done very much the opposite, they in fact inspired the phrase Silence = Death.
So, I spent the day numb, angry, very confused. Numb from everything coming back about my uncle. Angry about how Hillary could spit on his grave, confused about why she would do such a thing. There is no logic here not even a little. This all lead me to running around on the information highway talking to a whole lot of people, tweeting for hours, looking for information. Eventually, what I found took any anger that I had at that point and moved it to a whole new level. It turns out that Bill Clinton had a huge part in making the crisis worse.
Kelly Duda has uncovered a lot more information on this than I ever will. His movie Factor 8: The Arkansas Prison Blood Scandal (2005), goes in depth on the scandal. He testified in several foreign courts on this issue. He went to Japan to testify, to the UK, and to Canada. This issue was global in other words. This is not just another conspiracy theory. This is something that did happen and the Clintons were very deeply involved. Hillary may have been anything from a team worker to knowing nothing while this was going on. However, she did know at the very least when Bill Clinton was a defendant in a lawsuit over the issue. Hillary stayed, Hillary remained silent. Silence = Death.

I have to wonder how Ms. Swift would feel to be associated with the AK Prison Blood Scandal.

If it's politically expedient she'll say something about whatever it is at the moment. If it backfires on her, then she'll say she misspoke. Very convenient.

(14,177 posts)5. That is how I found out about this, I just don't remember the person that linked to the story first.
But, that got me to reading and the more I read and now... It's ON. Hillary can misspeak all she wants from here on out. I am going to get some attention put on this issue.

And keep up your quest to expose this.
I know here it's going to be hard to get everyone in on what is going on, because of tomorrow then the next couple of days we will be hashing out what the results mean. And someone will tell Recursion she doesn't math cuz they don't like her calculations.
