Whereas Leni Riefenstahl symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils, Hillary Clinton is actor, director and--many would argue--devil, rolled into one willful, corrupt, vengeful, despotic, paranoic package.
And so we have today... here in America... in America!... Hillary Clinton and her media apparatchiks conducting a campaign of censorship-by-terror that is without precedent; without precedent even if we include in the calculus the despotic Clinton years.
The precipitating agent and object of that censorship: a revealing new biography, "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It and How Far She'll Go to Become President." Its author is Edward Klein, veteran journalist with all the proper leftist bona fides, including editor of the New York Times Magazine and top editorships at Newsweek and Vanity Fair... which is precisely the problem for Missus Clinton. Klein's leftist credentials translate into credibility with Clinton's voters, both her base and the mushy middle.
Hillary Clinton has, thus, lodged a two-prong attack: blackball the author and destroy his--and his book's--credibility.
All the top-rated TV shows with the exception of "Hannity and Colmes" have complied dutifully with Clinton's censorship demands. "Extra," MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and CNN's "Paula Zahn" cancelled Klein, and ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today" show, and CNN's "Aaron Brown" suddenly lost interest in booking him.
"Trash for cash," (a modus operandi not unfamiliar to Missus Clinton), has become the Clinton battle cry.
If this book is a work of fiction as Clinton and her minions claim, why then is the Clinton machine working overtime to censor it?
The message is plain--Hillary Clinton does not want you to read this book.
Hillary Clinton does not want you to read this book because Edward Klein has captured her essence. He dissects the character of Hillary Clinton by examining what she does, not what she says. (Words--especially a Clinton's words--are cheap.)
Clinton spin notwithstanding, the author argues that the absolute disqualifier for Mrs. Clinton isn't about politics or sex. It's about character. Mrs. Clinton's complete lack of it. It's about Mrs. Clinton's ruthlessness and corruption, of which abuse of women is a recurring manifestation. (It is well documented that Hillary Clinton aided and abetted her husband's career in predation, and did it for power and treasure.)
For background, read "Did he rape that woman, Juanita Broaddrick?" (The Wall Street Journal) and watch the Juanita Broddrick interview. (Dateline NBC, Lisa Myers)
After the war, Riefenstahl excused her effort as pure documentary -- watch for the Clintons and their apparatchiks to do the same one day -- yet she compiled one segment, Hitler's motorcade to Munich, from different events and shot the closeups of Nazi leaders in a staged studio sequence.
Riefenstahl insisted that the finished quality of Triumph of Will came from her editing, not from any imposition of "posed shots" or choreography on her part. With her innovative editing techniques, Riefenstahl deliberately and selectively aestheticized Hitler and the Congress' proceedings. By editing out a shot of Hitler wiping his nose and including instead "more interesting expressions," by eliminating the human, Riefenstahl eliminated the inhuman.
The only difference today, in this era of ubiquitous cameras, continuous news and the shameless auteur-tyrant, is that the Washington Press Corps, spun by and on the Hollywood-Arkansas-New York Axis, edits out the Clintons' inhumanity in real time. . .

THE JEANINE PIRRO--HILLARY CLINTON VIRTUAL MATCHUP
Hillary vs. Jeanine?
Author: Hillary threatened TV networks
Ed Klein, author of the explosive new book "The Truth About Hillary," said in an interview the senator threatened the mainstream television networks over the book, saying she would no longer appear on any TV outlet that hosted Klein. In an interview with John Hawkins, who runs the blog RightWingNews.com, Klein stated: "Because of my book, Hillary and her war machine have called every major television network in the United States and suggested to them that if they have Ed Klein on to discuss his book, they can forget about Hillary being a guest on their network. "As a result, the entire mainstream media &endash; NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC &endash; have blanked me out. This is my fifth best seller in a row. I've been on all of those networks for all my books up till this one book. I've been a constant guest on the 'Today' show, the 'Good Morning America' show, you know, the Chris Matthews show, etc. Suddenly I'm anathema, and the reason I am is because the Clintons, Hillary in particular, have threatened all these mainstream media outlets." Klein's book takes a scathing look at the New York senator's lifelong ambitions, claiming she was making plans to succeed her husband in the Oval Office at the beginning of their marriage. States promotional material for the book: "As Hillary gears up to run for president in 2008, distinguished journalist Edward Klein has produced an exposé of her darkest secrets that just might do to her presidential ambitions what the Swift Boat Veterans' "Unfit for Command" did to John Kerry's." In the interview, Klein dismissed charges his book is nothing but unsubstantiated, titillating hearsay. Said Klein: "This is a serious book about a serious subject, which is Hillary Clinton's quest for the presidency; and it's by a serious author, me. I'm a serious guy. I'm not a right-wing person; I'm not a left wing person. I'm certainly not a liberal. "I'm a journalist and a biographer, and this book is a character study &endash; a character study of a woman who has a very good chance of becoming our next president and who I think would make a very bad president." Klein was asked why Hillary stays married to Bill in light of his history of infidelity. "Hillary does not seem to have a great deal of interest in sex, whether it's with men or women," Klein said. "She seems to be on the asexual side. Her interests seem to be power, not sex, and I don't think she cares that much if Bill 'cheats on her' as long as it doesn't become public. When it becomes public, then it becomes not something she is pained about personally, but she's embarrassed about politically because it undermines her political power. That's why she cares about it at all." |
missus clinton's profound dysfunction--her utter paranoia and megalomania-- is becoming impossible to conceal, even from the most casual observer--less because of the Klein book than because of her realtime reaction to it. As for her blackmailing, censoring and her cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind m.o.,
Old media have two choices--get used to it... or band together against this sick, dangerous... person... and stop committing 4th-estate malfeasance. She needs them more than they need her. |
Leni Riefenstahl was the film genius who outmaneuvered propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels to chronicle Hitler's 1934 Nuremberg rallies in perhaps the most notorious documentary ever filmed, Triumph of the Will. For sheer power, reach, and ruthlessness, however, the fascist Riefenstahl operation doesn't hold a candle to the Clinton agitprop machine... Whereas Leni Riefenstahl symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils, Hillary Clinton is actor, director and--many would argue--devil, rolled into one willful, corrupt, vengeful, despotic, paranoic package. And so we have today... here in America... in America!... Hillary Clinton and her media apparatchiks conducting a campaign of censorship-by-terror that is without precedent; without precedent even if we include in the calculus the despotic Clinton years....

Missus clinton's profound dysfunction--her textbook case of paranoia and megalomania-- are fast becoming impossible to conceal, even from the most casual observer. And this is the case less because of the Klein book than because of hillary clinton's realtime reaction to it.
Old media have two choices--continue to play the access-journalism game and feed their own increasing irrelevance ... or band together to resist this sick, dangerous... person, end their 4th-estate malfeasance and protect the country from a second and likely fatal assault from this inept, corrupt, ruthless pair of egomaniacal demagogues. Hillary clinton needs old media more than old media need hillary clinton. |
