Seems like every election cycle there is some anniversary of Nixon or Watergate. Nixon wasn’t the best of Presidents, but he was not impeached!

Bill Clinton was impeached! Does anyone hear anything about the only President impeached in the last 100 years? No! There was not a 1 year anniversary, or a five year, or a ten year, or a fifteen year, or a twenty year; but for Nixon there were all those all the way up to the fortieth year.

What an odd year and what an odd event to celebrate. Of course everyone knows that this anniversary celebration during an election year cycle is just coincidence.

The other odd fact is the Press never reviews the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Impeachment is a major historical event; it requires an act of Congress, it has only happened once before. Also the circumstances: Clinton was accused of RAPE; he had sexual exploits in the Oval Office and had numerous young interns / aids he hit on / intimidated. If he were a CEO instead of a demonic-rat President he’d be in jail to this day.

The fact that the media continually re-hashes Watergate while enforcing a news Blackout of Clinton’s impeachment showcases the fact the media filters what their master will allow the people to see.

Of course if the people today saw how the media supported Clinton by poo-pooing the charges, claiming it was only sex and therefore not important, praising how well he lied, how clever he was to redefine what the meaning of ‘is’ is, and attacking the special prosecutor as if he committed a crime; the public would be shocked at there actions.

So maybe it boils down to image: during Watergate the Media were honest, relentless, and brave seekers of the truth; whereas during the Clinton impeachment they were dishonest slackers trying to dupe the public to save morally corrupt President.

Clinton should have been imprisoned or executed for treason for taking campaign money (bribes) from the Chinese military and then approving the sale of missile guidance technology and Cray supercomputers to China.

When Clinton entered office there were no Chinese missiles which could reach the US. When he left there were 2-300 which could reach the west coast, IIRC.

That is treason.
