Off With Their Heads - I'm pumped! The Queen of Chaos is dead. Politically speaking.

In the wake of former DNC head Donna Brazile’s revelation that Hillary Clinton bought control of the Democratic National Committee and rigged the 2016 Democratic primaries it seems only right and just that we round-up and guillotine the remaining members of her royal court.   

Yeah, I’m looking at you DNC, and the Black Congressional Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus; the NAACP, the National Council of La Raza, AIPAC, the LGBT groups (especially you, Rachel Maddow), and the entire  State Media Colony, Hollywood, Wall Street, the Music Industry, and Obama’s former White House toadies.  

Off with your heads court jesters: Cenk Yuger, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Conan O’Brien, Samantha Bee, Van Jones, John Oliver, and the rest of the boot-licking entertainment (LeBron James, Bruce Springsteen, and Jay Z & Beyoncé) useful media tools.    

You endorsed and promoted a crook, suppressed and fervently ridiculed the legitimacy of stronger Democratic Presidential candidates in exchange for access and professional currency. You willingly aligned with the Clinton/Obama Democratic Party’s Wall Street temple, where cash is king and Hillary, was its moneychanger, adept at dispensing loose change, but not beyond cracking an aristocratic whip on disobedient enablers.    

The 2016 Presidential election, by any measure, was a failure of conscience and groupthink, a self-inflicted (and avoidable) defeat. Having said that, I want to give thanks. With the election of Donald Trump as President, the Clinton/Obama Democratic Party machine is on life support. It’s about damn time. Their constituencies deserve better than to live their lives in a neoliberal political prison without a chance of parole.  

And yes, of course, the leper colony we call the Republican Party is a repulsive frontal lobe gang of sociopaths and racists, and it would stretch the capacity of human imagination to believe otherwise. But here’s the rub. The reality is ‘they’ won. Demos lost. And for all the bereavement, anger, whining and finger pointing, Demos have nobody but themselves to blame. They chose to pledge blind allegiance to an egotistical, corrupt and toxic candidate, political party and system.  

Typically, when political suicide takes place in the body politic, an autopsy is in order. The brain trust of the Democratic Party failed to put forward a stronger candidate that polled, by some estimates, 24 points higher against the carnival barking Republican nominee. So confident was Cruella Deville – with the support of greedy banksters, loyal (to a fault) women, corrupt unions, & co-opted minority constituencies - could and would trounce the bellicose Republican bigot, that she condescendingly chose to dismiss nearly 50% of voting age independents and progressives seeking a voice (people, peace & planet over profits) within the Democratic Party. Instead, she sabotaged the election of an insurgent and stronger primary opponent (Bernie Sanders), and in the process alienated highly motivated segments of the Party’s liberal constituency that didn’t vote or voted Third Party (including voting for Trump).   

Cartoonish, the Democratic Party leadership, in search of moral imperatives, are like the Tin Woodman in the Wizard of Oz. Pewter dunces collectively high stepping and clicking their heels down the yellow (gold) brick road - coveting coronary transplants which would make them - kind-of-human - endearing them to a clueless (Dorothy), the brainless (Scarecrow), and the Cowardly (Lion).    

 “I’m presumin’ that I could be kind-a-human, if I only had a heart.” Wizard of Oz Tin Man song lyric.   

Well, we’re not in Kansas, anymore, although it’s safe to say that the Democratic Party is led by political actors directed and manipulated by wealthy donors and corporate Wizards hiding behind the curtain of laundered money and impunity.   

As for Cheetos, all he had to do to win the election was to hijack populist discontent and do what he does best. Avoid issues and act the fool. The media loves buffoons. They knocked down his door and plastered his face on TV to the tune of 4 billion dollars of free advertising.   

Sure, Trump is a con. But the truth of the matter is that Obama was as well. He won with the Black vote, with lies (hope and change), a Cheshire grin and banksters. He’s no less a narcissistic, opportunistic grifter than Trump. As it turns out, the Trump election is a direct repudiation of the Clinton and Obama neoliberal legacy; their failed domestic and foreign policies, a worsening predatory healthcare plan, corporate job-killing trade deals, wage inequality, corporate corruption, endless wars, and the militarization of police forces to control the disenfranchised segments of society.   

 “As for Hillary, she came across as Slick Willie Clinton and Obama 2.0. She just simply ran out of people to lie to. Bill and Barack had emptied the tank.”  

The irony, of course, is that the Clinton Foundation is now heavily indebted to players that helped bankroll her coronation, the Deep State, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman & assorted corporate and Israeli billionaires. Given Hillary didn’t deliver, she may soon have to seek asylum, at the risk of swimming with the fishes, although I hear Syria and President Bashar as-Assad might welcome her with open (ahem) arms.   

So, what’s in store for us? We can expect interest rates, gold, and bitcoin to go higher. Stock, bonds, and the dollar are going to crash (sooner rather than later). I suggest dumping the rigged political duopoly and turn to supporting alternative political parties advocating green, post-capitalist and distributive, regenerative and decentralized socioeconomic systems and policies.   

  And, if you’re lucky to have one, reallocating your 401K to cryptocurrencies (sooner rather than later).
