HRC is selling what amounts to a cult.

If we look at the cult of militarism, it is definitely a death cult. An apocalyptic cult, one which sees itself as worthy of determining the existence of the whole rest of the world.

See a description of the signs and process of cult-like brainwashing here

And as such its very dangerous.

We need to see a military first society for what it is. Madness.

3. How can she be a protector when she is selling their future to health insurance and drug companies

and their jobs to global low wage staffing companies? When she is selling their heat and electricty to energy companies to export till its gone, and the right to tear down their homes and replace them with market rate condos to her pals in the real estate industry, since the older buildings will of course be "too expensive to heat" . Since we can no longer hoard jobs all the jobs buiding all of that will go to workers from trade partners who will work for $25 a day, have to feed their starving families who have been evicted from land they farmed for generations because they were born at home and never could afford a lawyer to get a birth certificate, so they dont exist.

She has a nice plot reserved for her supporters in the cemetary, though, or did until she was offered a bit more by other condo developers.

that it got out.

Its not just a case of "The rich are not like you and I". Hillary Clinton appears to have been VERY different than the person she tries to come across as.


Listen to her laughing about getting a rapist off with time served.

turning. It is the same Hillary that was laughing it up when Qaddafi was publicly lynched, sodomized with swords. That was a riot too.

Remember when she said "superpredators, no empathy?" That's who she is. No empathy.

9. failure to empathize sounds like NPD.

NPD definitely is a condition. People with NPD are usually more than a little bit delusional.

They don't make good decisions.

But they are very convincing liars.

Failure to empathize with others seems to me like a failure to fully understand humankind's needs- at least well enough to lead-

5. To be honest, so is Trump.

His supporters are looking for an authoritarian 'strong man'.
Clinton supporters just support that she's a woman, and somehow it's her 'turn'.
Neither candidate has a strong record of 'core values', they're both flip-flop pandering.
