Caveats as Preface: Political Economy isn’t “my thing”, IPE, less so. The thinking around this answer is dominated by the potential benefits for Nigeria’s “Foreign Policy”.I’m one of those who believes, that as far as possible, a country’s internal policy ought to be subservient to her foreign policy. Prosperity only occurs when the waters are safe and your external borders secure. Further, as most of my answers indicate, I’m very pro-trade.My ideological biases laid bare, I come to you with clean hands.I very much favour Morocco’s accession to ECOWAS. Perhaps, in order to satisfy the geography purists, we can invite Tunisia and Algeria; draw a straight line from the Tunisian border with Western Libya to the Nigerian border with Western Cameroon and you have an Economic Community of States West of the rest of Africa. Geographic descriptors are inherently malleable and should not stand in the way of what could be a great deal.Morocco with a PPP per capita of $7,700 on its entrance would be the bloc’s economic motor. To illustrate, let’s examine their exports. Per http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/, in 2016:NigeriaGhanaIvory CoastMoroccoLooking at those images, two things jump out at me:ECOWAS has basically been a glorified debating club.The Economic case for Morocco’s assesion, to me is stronger than ever.Morocco can fill in a demand gap for the community. To be blunt, Nigeria has zero need for Cocoa and gold, our fellow members need refined crude, not crude. On the flipside, is there a demand among the 70% of Nigerians who are farmers for fertilizers and phosphates, you bet’cha! Do we need clothes? Of course, how about cars or insulated wiring? To be blunt again, we really should be feting the Moroccans and throwing out the red carpet.For comparison:GermanyNigeriaLike I said, glorified debating club!But? But? Emmanuel-Francis you unpatriotic Moroccan shill! won’t Morocco’s entrance into our beloved “Economic Community” wipe out all our industries and national champions, you know those companies who have been so good to us 'Nigeria has world's highest cement price' - The Nation Nigeria, Dangote Cement, GTB, Zenith, 62 Others Declare N233B Profit In Q1 - leadership.ng.Yes, yes it will. There is no defence, absent government protection, they will be chewed up and spat out. It’ll be brutal, for them, as I assume it will be for the Moroccan music and movie industry against our behemoths.You seem oddly gleeful at the thought, hope those Moroccan dirhams are worth it! I am gleeful, but sadly, no dirhams. You see, we’ve been indoctrinated into possessing paradoxical views on the Economy. Nigerians toil day and night in the library and on our knees (in prayer ohh) for the possibility of being employed by a Shell, Chevron, Mckinsey, KPMG, MTN, you know, companies famous for their Nigerian ownership, yet, Nigerians are quick to get up in arms at the idea of foreign entrants into our market.I often have a mental image of the average Nigerian Twiterrati, berating you for not supporting our national company TSTV, with a bowl of Indomie, a bottle of Coke and tweeting from their Samsung! If those companies were good enough, they would top the list of dream employment destinations for young Nigerians and would not need “championing”. As Baba Wole would say, a Tiger needs not proclaim its tigritude! Also, Pepsi needs all that advertisement for a reason.Capital is King. It’s why anyone cares about Norway, they’re after all just a nation of 5 million on a desert of ice, their $1trn in cash though, it gives them a loud megaphone. Ditto Silicon Valley. The irony, Nigerians cheered on Mark’s jog through the streets of Yaba, yet are against the admission of another trading partner. The very thing you fear Morocco will do to “our companies”, Zuckerberg did.Facebook CEO made a stop at Andela, a Nigerian start up that recruits talented Africans and shape them into world-class developers through a four-year technical leadership programme. Impressed by the companies’ drive to connect the global technology ecosystem with the most talented developers in Africa, Zuckerberg invested $24 million in the start up earlier this year through the Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan’s fund.6 places Mark Zuckerberg visited in Lagos - Ventures AfricaInvestment means purchasing shares, purchasing shares means buying control. But that is a good thing!As I said, Capital is King, yes he’s a grubby foreigner buying up “our company”, but by providing them funding, they get to stay open, innovative and most importantly employ developers at Middle-Class salaries. So how does this relate to Morocco?At present, “our companies” in the name of “protection” request subsidies in various forms, the thing is though, capital isn’t unlimited or as every Nigerian has been told by our parents, “money doesn’t grow on trees”. When the Government excludes competitors from the market, in the name of “protection”, your capital goes into subsidising them. As already shown, we pay the world’s highest cement prices, our double-digit interest rates are also some of the highest in the world, also most of the time, you’re left with a shoddy product and terrible customer service. Where then does your money go?One example:A Bloomberg Intelligence report showed average global cement profit (EBITDA) margins were 17.2% in 2015, but Dangote Cement reported a margin of 42.3% in the same year.Africa’s richest man has a built-in advantage with Nigeria’s governmentMorocco’s entrance would allow fellow ECOWAS members to purchase its car exports, tariff free. That may be a bad thing for INNOSON Motors, but if the consumers having access to a cheaper and or better product choose his Moroccan counterparts, then the increased demand would make them need new labour, in a free trade area, that could be you. Unless of course, Nigerians who always talk about our hustle and never-say-die attitude are scared of being out-competed by Moroccans. I mean, is there even a word for “hustle” in Arabic? But hey being afraid is good too.Not just cars, if the upper-middle-class Lagos big girl spends less on clothes and food thanks to Moroccan imports, her savings increase. She could either make her hair more often, to the benefit of the neighbourhood Iya or put it in a bank which should give our banks more capital to invest. Investment needs investors, marketers e.t.c a boon to our army of graduates, assuming of course that they are up to it. Regardless, the increased capital formation helps our economy. All those Chinese loans are from the savings of their citizens.The farmer benefits from their fertilizer exports, improving their productivity and is able to send their children to school, improving national productivity, and so on and so forth.As our war with Boko Haram and the recent news of our fellow citizens in Libya should have made expressly clear, Nigeria needs to exert control over the Sahara. Its current status as terra nullius is detrimental to our national stability: guns are smuggled in, drugs too. Morocco in ECOWAS will act as a steadfast partner and a bridge to the rest of the Maghreb, assuming, of course, we don’t invite our North-Western neighbours into ECOWAS.Looking further East, clearly, something is up in the Middle-East, again. Iran and Saudi Arabia are increasingly at loggerheads and the new head honcho is to be mild, erratic. The absolute last thing we need is to be dragged in. Nigeria although majorly Sunni, has a prominent Shia minority. We need to uproot and burn all clerical relations between the Iranian and Wahabbi clerics, and ours. Fortunately, King Muhammed of Morocco is both a descendant of the Prophet, their Islamic school of jurisprudence is similar to ours (Maliki, the Saudis are Hanbali). It’s a pragmatic choice, either that or accept our future status as proxies.In conclusion, both as a trade opportunity and an option to reorient our foreign policy, Morocco’s entrance into ECOWAS provide opportunities. It’s what you make of opportunities that counts though. Norway has oil, Nigeria has oil too…Ending on a lighter note, if it doesn’t work out, they’re a mere 35 million, we’ll just export 40 million spare Nigerians and vote in a government beneficial to our interests.Also imagine visiting Fez, Casablanca or Marrakesh visa free. I mean, I can’t be the only one who thinks those semester break trips to Ghana have gotten stale?They’ve got belly dancers.Their women aren’t half bad.I mean jeez, I thought I understood Nigerians, what gives?!Is it all plain-sailing no!In my view, the most dangerous thing about Morocco’s entrance is France! Although Morocco is largely Arabic speaking, it’s elites both by history and geography are both French-speaking and Francophone aligned. France already dominates far too much of ECOWAS, which we ought to begin to roll back, just as the French have always sought to do with American and now, Chinese influence in Europe.Further, language disparities undermine Economic efficiency, we ought to use our influence to push for Anglicization, West Africa’s population is young enough, and literacy levels low enough that a switch to English, now, won’t do much damage.Unless “Naija no dey carry last” is just bragging, I see no reason to oppose it.Hello, King M! Yes, the account is GTB, with a G as in Green, like the dollars you’re sending me. No, no! not dirhams, dollars or nothing!O:

More people investigating the facts stopped trusting Hilary. Some of her actions were short sighted and put national security at risk, other actions of convenience put innocent victims at risk, others actions were dishonest, other statement were proven to be lies and some management decisions were wrong, derelict. Yet she was never brought to trial or public oversight because of the Clinton Power. No one likes a person who thinks and acts like it’s above the law. Here are six illustrations to conceal, destroy, secrete, submerge facts [the Clinton Power]:lying and signing "clearly false" affidavitsIn a combative exchange at a hearing Friday in Washington, D.C., a federal judge unabashedly accused career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to derail a series of lawsuits seeking information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. [Clinton Power]U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said he was "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he learned that FBI had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills during its investigation into the use of Clinton's server, according to a court transcript of his remarks. [Clinton Power]"I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in — by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said during Friday's hearing. [Clinton Power]The Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell reporting June that it was "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" for the FBI to allow Mills to sit in during the agency's interview of Clinton during the email probe, given that classified information traveled through Mills' personal email account. "[T]here are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness' interview," the IG wrote. [Clinton Power]Mills was wrongly allowed to act as if she were Hillary Clinton's lawyer."It was clear to me that at the time that I ruled initially, that false statements were made to me by career State Department officials, and it became more clear through discovery that the information that I was provided was clearly false regarding the adequacy of the search and this – what we now know turned out to be the Secretary’s email system," Lamberth said Friday.Of course it was. And there have been no consequences.Mills was at best, a material witness, and at worst, a co-conspirator. She was not Hillary's attorney while at State, and was not even employed as an attorney. She was employed as a staff advisor and was therefore a witness. Consequently, she could not be permitted to claim Attorney-client privilege during her time at State and could not serve as Hillary's attorney during an investigation into their collective actions at State and thereafter.Even if Mills had been a State Department attorney, her "client" would have been the Executive Branch, not the Secretary in her personal or legal capacity.This is Legal Ethics 101. It's not even a close call. [Clinton Power]That the Obama FBI and Obama DOJ ignored these principles and also agreed to destroy Mills' laptop is clear evidence of the fix and cover-up.12 years old Raped, Clinton gets rapist offThe Daily Beast ran an interview with a woman who had been raped and beaten into a coma when she was 12 years old. The incident left her unable to have children.The man who did it was set free by Hillary Clinton, an incident that she recounted with sociopathic glee while laughing about her client failing a lie detector test.The woman, raped once by her attackers and again by Hillary Clinton's manipulation of the justice system, was angry at Hillary, not only because Hillary Clinton had saved the man who raped her from prison, but because Hillary Clinton had called her a liar who sought ought attention from older men who often made up stories.Hillary Clinton was the one who was actually lying, as millions of Americans have since found out. “Hillary Clinton took me through Hell,” the victim said. “You are supposed to be for women? You call that [being] for women, what you done to me? And I hear you on tape laughing.” “How many other lies has she told to get where she’s at today? If she becomes president, is she gonna be telling the world the truth? No.”June 20, 2014 Daniel Greenfieldflip-flops stances on IsraelSimply put, we never know how she feels about this topic. Hillary Clinton was against Israel before she was for Israel before she was against Israel. And now she’s for Israel again. Uniquely, Hillary Clinton has so many flip-flops that you need a flow chart to get a handle on her positions as First Lady, Senator, Presidential Candidate I, Secretary of State and Presidential Candidate II. John Kerry had a shelf of flip-flops. Hillary Clinton has an entire closet full of flip-flops in different shades of stomach-turning fevered fuchsia, power pink and oligarch orange.At AIPAC [The American Israel Public Affairs Committee], Hillary Clinton delivered a very nice speech that someone else wrote for her. That’s usually what AIPAC is for. It’s where any politician can read off a pro-Israel speech from a teleprompter without believing a word of it. And no one is better at blankly reading things they don’t believe than Hillary.After having claimed to be Obama’s “designated yeller” at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, she told the crowd at AIPAC, “One of the first things I’ll do in office is invite the Israeli prime minister to visit the White House.” I’m sure Netanyahu can’t wait for that and for his next dental checkup.Hillary Clinton mentioned the murder of Taylor Force, an Iraq War veteran in Israel, and her speechwriter quite correctly noted that, “Palestinian leaders need to stop inciting violence, stop celebrating terrorists as martyrs and stop paying rewards to their families.” If only Hillary Clinton had been Secretary of State. She might have been able to do something about it.March 22, 2016 Daniel GreenfieldPrivate Email Server deleted, 2,079 were classifiedNever in American history has anyone as unfit and undeserving as Hillary Clinton run for U.S. President. While she stands on the threshold of being elected to the White House, she quite literally belongs in a prison cell. This article lays out the case against her, chapter and verse.Throughout her entire four-year tenure as secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton never acquired or used a government email account. Instead, she transmitted — in violation of government regulations — all of her official correspondences via a private email address that traced back to a secret, private, unsecured server that was housed at her New York residence. And immediately after those emails were subpoenaed by Congress, Clinton instructed a team of her advisers to unilaterally delete, with no oversight, almost 32,000 of the roughly 60,000 emails in question.Clinton claimed that her reason for having used only a personal email account, rather than both a personal and a government account, was that she found it “easier,” “better,” “simpler” and more convenient to “carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.” It was eventually learned, however, that Mrs. Clinton in fact had used no fewer than 13 mobile devices to access emails on her private server, but the FBI was unable to obtain any of those devices in its investigation, in some cases because Clinton aides had been instructed to smash them with a hammer.Clinton originally assured Americans that “not even one piece of classified material had ever been transmitted via her unsecured, secret, personal server.” But now it is known that at least 2,079 emails that she sent or received via that server, contained classified material. As the eminent broadcaster and legal scholar Mark Levin has made plain, each of those 2,079 offenses constituted a felonious violation of Section 793 of the Espionage Act.6. And each violation was punishable by a prison sentence of up to ten years. In January 2016, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said “the odds are pretty high” that Russia, China, and Iran had compromised Clinton's unsecured email server. [Clinton Power]October 14, 2016 John PerazzoThe Clinton Foundation ScandalsIn an effort to prevent foreign governments, organizations, and individuals from influencing the policy decisions of American national leaders, campaign-finance laws prohibit U.S. political figures from accepting money from foreign sources. But as the Washington Post noted in February 2015, the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation “has given donors a way to potentially gain favor with the Clintons outside the traditional political [donation] limits.”.As of February 2015, foreign sources accounted for about one-third of all donors who had given the Clinton Foundation more than $1 million, and over half of those who had contributed more than $5 million.10 Foreign donors that gave money to the Foundation included: Hezbollah supporter Issam Fares, who once served as deputy prime minister of Lebanon; the Dubai Foundation, which also gave money to the families of Palestinian terrorists killed in action; the royal family of the United Arab Emirates; a Dubai-based company that promotes Sharia Law; a privately-held Chinese construction and trade conglomerate headed by a delegate of the Chinese parliament; and the governments of Saudi Arabia, Brunei, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.Even during Clinton's tenure (2009-13) as secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in donations from seven foreign governments.Bill Clinton earned a total of $48 million from foreign sources for his appearance and speaking fees during his wife’s term as secretary.DonationsIn August 2016, the Associated Press reported that 85 of Hillary Clinton's 154 scheduled meetings and phone calls with non-governmental personnel during her time at the State Department were with donors who gave $156 million to the Clinton Foundation. The AP report also revealed that the Clinton Foundation had received $170 million in donations from at least 16 foreign governments whose representatives met personally with Mrs. Clinton.In May 2015, the International Business Times reported that the Clinton State Department had approved billions of dollars in arms deals with governments that donated to the Clinton Foundation, including governments that were infamous for their appalling human-rights records.But the Clinton Foundation certainly does many wonderful things for needy people around the world, doesn't it? Well, according to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist, between 2009-12 the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million in total. A mere 15% of that went towards programmatic grants. The other $425 Million went to travel expenses, employee salaries and benefits, and “other expenses.” In 2013, the Clinton Foundation allocated only 6% of its revenues to direct charitable aid.Clinton's Support for the Iran Nuclear DealVowing that Mrs. Clinton will “preven[t] Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” the Clinton presidential campaign website assures Americans that “Hillary will vigorously enforce the nuclear agreement with Iran.” Is this a good thing? Consider that the agreement's key provisions were as follows:Iran was permitted to keep more than 5,000 centrifuges for nuclear efforts.Iran received $150 billion in sanctions relief.Sanctions would be lifted on critical parts of Iran’s military.Russia and China were permitted to supply Iran with weapons.Iran was given the discretion to block international inspectors from its military installations, and was promised that it would receive 14 days’ notice for any request to visit a given site.Iran's intercontinental ballistic missile program would remain intact.Iran was not required to release American prisoners whom it was holding on trumped-up charges.Only inspectors from countries that had diplomatic relations with Iran would be given access to Iranian nuclear sites; thus there would be no American inspectors.An embargo on the sale of weapons to Iran would be officially lifted in 5 years.The U.S. pledged that it would provide technical assistance to help Iran develop its nuclear program and protect its nuclear facilities, supposedly for peaceful domestic purposes.As a result of this nuclear deal that Mrs. Clinton so enthusiastically supports, Iran is guaranteed of having a near-zero breakout time to a nuclear bomb approximately a decade down the road.(The Congressional Research Service (the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress) reviewed this cash transfer in a 2018 report. It gave a total of $1.7 billion. That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered. As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance. )The $1.8 billion is reasonably accurate. The official amount is $1.7 billion. However, there’s no evidence that barrels and boxes were involved.Clinton Helps Russia Gain Control of 20% of All U.S. UraniumIn 2007-08, a Canadian named Ian Telfer, chairman of a South African uranium-mining company called Uranium One, funneled millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation. In June 2010, the Russian government made an extremely generous offer to Uranium One's shareholders. If the offer were to be accepted, Russia would gain a 51% controlling stake in the company.But because Uranium One controlled one-fifth of all U.S. uranium reserves — and uranium, a key component in both nuclear energy and nuclear weaponry, is considered a strategic asset with implications for American national security — the deal with Russia could not be permitted without the approval of the American government. Specifically, that approval could be granted only by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which is composed of several of the most powerful members of the cabinet — the Attorney General as well as the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, Treasury, Homeland Security, Energy, and State. (The latter, of course, was Hillary Clinton.)Without the approval of these seven Obama administration officials, Russia's acquisition of Uranium One could not have taken place. All seven, including Hillary Clinton, gave their go-ahead for the deal. As a result, the Russian government took control of fully 20% of all uranium production capacity in the United States.In June 2010 — the very month in which the Russian acquisition of Uranium One was approved by the CFIUS — Bill Clinton was invited to speak in Moscow for the astronomical sum of $500,000. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally thanked Mr. Clinton for speaking. And Mr. Clinton's speaking fee was paid by Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin.But hey, who cares? At least Hillary Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women, including the countless millions whose safety has been placed in jeopardy by permitting American uranium to be gobbled up by a hostile, fascist Russia.The Radical Islamist Affiliations of Clinton's Closest AideHillary Clinton's closest aide for many years has been Huma Abedin, whose late father, Syed Abedin, was affiliated with the Muslim Students Association (MSA). The MSA grew out of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, which Islam expert Robert Spencer has described as “the parent organization of Hamas and al Qaeda.”Huma's mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is a prominent member of the Muslim Sisterhood — the Muslim Brotherhood's division for women. She is also a board member of the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief, a pro-Hamas entity that is part of the “Union of Good,” which the U.S. government has formally designated as an international terrorist organization. Saleha once wrote an article blaming America for having provoked the Islamic “anger and hostility” that led to the 9/11 attacks.35From 1996-2008, Huma Abedin was employed by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA), a Saudi-based Islamic think tank founded by Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure who once served as secretary-general of the Muslim World League, a vehicle by which the Muslim Brotherhood promotes the ideology of Islamic supremacism. Naseef also had ties to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, with whom he communicated.36 Abedin was the assistant editor of IMMA's in-house publication, the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA). At least the first seven of those years overlapped with Abdullah Omar Naseef's active presence in the IMMA.It is vital to note that the IMMA's “Muslim Minority Affairs” agenda was, and remains to this day, a calculated foreign policy of the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs. It is designed, as former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy explains, “to grow an unassimilated, aggressive population of Islamic supremacists who will gradually but dramatically alter the character of the West.”But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she respects women, including the hundreds of millions of women in Muslim nations who are oppressed by the very same Sharia Law that is promoted by the organization to which Huma Abedin devoted 12 years of her life.The Deadly Consequences of Clinton's Absurd Fictions About Islam & TerrorismFunny thing...there are no Baptist Bombers or Transententalist Terrorists. Only islam produces believers withIn 2011 the Obama administration, in which Mrs. Clinton was obviously a major player, decided to purge, from the training materials and curricula of all federal intelligence and criminal investigators, every single item suggesting that “jihad” or “Islam” were in any way related to terrorism. Instead, the new objective would be “countering violent extremism,” improving “cultural competency training across the United States Government,” and promoting “cultural awareness.” All told, the FBI removed more than 1,000 presentations and curriculum items that were deemed “offensive” or “Islamophobic.”The FBI's decision to change its training materials and interrogation methods went on to have deadly serious, real-world consequences. A particularly noteworthy case involved jihadist Omar Mateen, who in June 2016 entered a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida and murdered 49 people while wounding 53 others. The FBI had investigated Mateen extensively for 10 months in 2013 because he had family connections to Al Qaeda, he was a member of a Shi’a terrorist organization, and he had issued terroristic threats on a number of occasions. But eventually, the FBI canceled that investigation because, in accordance with the tenets of its revised training materials, it concluded that Mateen posed no threat to anyone; that his biggest problem was the psychic pain he was suffering as a result of “being marginalized because of his Muslim faith.” As a result of this absurd line of reasoning, 49 innocent people from Orlando are now lying in their graves.Hillary Clinton agrees completely with the notion that it is both counterproductive and morally unjustified to suggest any connection between Islam and terrorism — the same delusional, preposterous mentality that enabled the Orlando mass murder to take place.But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women and homosexuals, including the 49 people who were slaughtered in the Orlando nightclub.Clinton's Role in the Rise of ISISISIS, which evolved out of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), grew into the most powerful, well-funded horde of bloodthirsty barbarians in world history, right under Mrs. Clinton's nose, and precisely during her watch as secretary of state. While ISIS launched its campaign of mass rapes, beheadings, slaughters, and tortures of unimaginable brutality — and gained control over enormous portions of Iraq and Syria — Clinton and President Obama did absolutely nothing to thwart it.Moreover, the rise of ISIS coincided with the expansion of terrorism to unprecedented levels all over the world. According to the Global Terrorism Index, fatalities caused by terrorism increased from 3,361 in 2000, to 11,133 in 2012, to 18,111 in 2013, to 32,658 in 2014. More than half of the 2014 killings were carried out by ISIS and Boko Haram, the latter of which has pledged allegiance to ISIS.44 In other words, worldwide terrorism has spiraled out of control under Obama, Clinton, and Clinton's successor, John Kerry.But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women everywhere, including the many thousands who are killed by terrorists across the globe each year.Clinton's Empty Talk Regarding Russia and ChinaHillary Clinton's presidential campaign website boasts that in 2010 Clinton “worked to ensure ratification of the New START treaty, which will make the world safer by reducing U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals to their smallest size in 50 years.”The New START agreement with Russia limited each country's long-range nuclear weapons stockpile to 1,500. But while both the U.S. and Russia agreed to these limits, only America promised to freeze its technology. As the late constitutional scholar Phyllis Schlafley wrote of the treaty:“It reads like it was written by the Russians and has nothing good in it for the United States.... The treaty allows Russia to build new and modern weapons to reach New START limits, whereas the United States is locked into reducing its current number. That means Russia will have new and tested weapons, but the U.S. will be stuck with its current, out-of-date, untested warheads.... This treaty gives Russia a veto over all U.S. defenses against incoming missiles.... Russia explained that ... it will stick with New START 'only if the (U.S.) refrains from developing its missile defense capabilities quantitatively or qualitatively.'”Immigration: Clinton Explicitly Favors Amnesty, Sanctuary Cities, and “Open BordersEntering your neighbors house un-invited is wrong, impolite and can get you shot as a trespasser in some states. Entering a country that you are not a citizen of is criminal whether you sneak across the boarder on-a bus, a plane or on foot.“Hillary will introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to full and equal citizenship within her first 100 days in office,” says the Clinton presidential campaign website. Mrs. Clinton pledges that if she is elected president, she will extend President Obama's two major executive orders on immigration, which protected millions of illegal aliens from deportation. She vows to do this despite the fact that Obama himself, prior to issuing his executive orders, frequently acknowledged that such actions went far beyond the proper limits of presidential authority. Speaking to a group of illegal immigrant high-school students in 2015, Clinton said: “I want to do everything we can to defend the president's executive orders ... As president I would do everything possible under the law to go even further.”Moreover, Mrs. Clinton unequivocally supports the “sanctuary” policies that bar police and other public-sector employees in some 340 U.S. cities from notifying the federal government about the presence of illegal aliens residing in their communities. As such, these policies defy the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act that Congress passed twenty years ago to require that local governments cooperate with U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).Sanctuary policies have turned hundreds of U.S. cities into very dangerous places. Of the 9,295 deportable aliens who were released after their arrest in sanctuary jurisdictions during the first eight months of 2014 alone, some 2,320 were subsequently re-arrested, on new criminal charges, soon thereafter. And before their initial release, 58% of those 9,295 aliens already had felony charges or convictions on their records, while another 37% had serious prior misdemeanor charges.But Mrs. Clinton's commitment to sanctuary policies is unshakable. As Xochitl Hinojosa, the Clinton presidential campaign's director of coalitions press, said in 2015: “Hillary Clinton believes that sanctuary cities can help further public safety, and she has defended those policies going back years.”In a speech she delivered at Banco Itau, a Brazilian bank, on May 16, 2013, Mrs. Clinton stated: “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders....”Rejecting School Vouchers for Failing Urban SchoolsTry being a poor parent, living in a poor area, with terrible schools. You want your kids to get a better education so you opt for vouchers as a reach for an better life for your kids. Anyone against vouchers in this situation is a social malefactor.Professing to have spent her entire adult life “fighting for children,” Hillary Clinton dogmatically opposes the implementation of school voucher programs which would enable the parents of low-income, mostly-minority children who attend failing, inner-city public schools, to send their youngsters instead to private schools where they might actually have a chance of succeeding academically. Why would anyone reject such programs, if he or she actually cared about poor minority kids?As always, if you want to find out what motivates Mrs. Clinton, you have to follow the money. Together, the two largest teachers' unions in the United States — the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) — have given tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions to political candidates since the early 1990s, and more than 95% of that money has gone to Democrats. If we also count the massive expenditures that teachers' unions make on politically oriented initiatives like television ads and get-out-the-vote efforts, the numbers become almost unfathomable. From 2007-12, the NEA and AFT together spent more than $330 million to influence elections in favor of Democrats.The leading objective of both the NEA and AFT is to maximize employment opportunities for dues-paying members of their unions. This is highly significant because mandatory dues constitute the very lifeblood of those unions. And voucher programs, which would siphon students as well as money away from the public schools, don't promote union membership or union dues.So Hillary Clinton rejects voucher programs because her union benefactors oppose them. But hey, who cares? At least she never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women — even impoverished, inner-city minority women who have no choice but to send their children to public schools that are beset by academic failure and violence of monumental proportions.Fighting Voter ID Laws As “Racist”At an August 2013 meeting of the American Bar Association, Mrs. Clinton lamented that “more than 80 bills restricting voting rights” had been “introduced in 31 states” during the first eight months of that year. These were generally bills that sought to institute Voter ID requirements at polling places, shorten early-voting periods, eliminate same-day voter registration, prevent the arbitrary extension of voting hours, and carefully regulate the use of absentee voting. All of these proposed measures were designed to reduce the likelihood of voter fraud, but Mrs. Clinton called them “voter suppression” efforts that were part of a racist scheme to “disproportionately [disenfranchise] African-Americans, Latino[s] and young voters.”110 On another occasion, Clinton said that Voter ID laws are emblematic of a racist form of “fear-mongering about a phantom epidemic of election fraud.”Is Mrs. Clinton correct? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself:A 2012 report by the Pew Center on the States found that 24 million voter registrations — one-eighth of all registrations nationwide — were either invalid or inaccurate, including more than 1.8 million dead people who were still registered.A 2014 study found that two years earlier, some 155,692 registered voters in North Carolina alone had first and last names, birth dates, and final-four Social Security Number digits that matched those of voters who were registered in other states.The same study also found that 35,570 people who had actually voted in North Carolina, had first names, last names, and birth dates that matched those of voters who had cast ballots in other states.In 2008, Democrat Al Franken won a highly controversial U.S. Senate race in Minnesota by just 312 votes. It was later discovered that 1,099 felons — all legally ineligible to vote — had cast ballots in the election, almost exclusively for Franken.Clinton's Affiliation with Al Sharpton & Black Lives MatterAl Sharpton has been called a Race Hustler. In April 2007, Mrs. Clinton spoke at an event held by Al Sharpton's National Action Network, where she stated that her own presidential bid was possible only because of the dedicated work of longtime civil-rights leaders who, like Sharpton, had fought on behalf of those traditionally excluded from power positions in American life. “I have enjoyed a long and positive relationship with Reverend Al Sharpton and National Action Network,” said Clinton, “and I don't ever remember saying 'no' to them, and I intend to remain their partner in civil rights as I clean the dirt from under the carpet in the Oval Office when I am elected President.”And nothing whatsoever has changed in Mrs. Clinton's estimation of Sharpton, perhaps the most repugnant racial arsonist in contemporary America, in the years since then. In April 2016, for instance, Clinton again spoke at a National Action Network event where she lauded Sharpton and his organization for steadfastly working “on the frontlines of our nation’s continuing struggle for civil rights,” and “in a million ways lift[ing] up voices that too often go unheard.”Speaking of repugnant racial arsonists, in August 2015 Mrs. Clinton held an impromptu, videotaped conversation with three Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists who were complaining about the “mass incarceration” of African Americans. In response to them, Clinton said: “This country has still not recovered from its original sin [slavery] ... Your analysis is totally fair. It's historically fair, it's psychologically fair, it's economically fair.... All I'm suggesting is, even for us sinners [white people], find some common ground on agendas that can make a difference right here and now in people's lives.”Clinton's Personal Persecution of a Young Rape VictimWhile the Clinton presidential campaign website touts “Hillary’s plan to end campus sexual assault,” it laments that “many who choose to report sexual assault in the criminal justice system fear that their voices will be dismissed instead of heard.”130 But Mrs. Clinton herself took part in one of the most repulsive exhibitions of cruelty to a rape victim ever seen in an American courtroom.The year was 1975, and attorney Hillary Clinton was defending Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old man accused of raping and beating a 12-year-old girl named Kathy Shelton. So brutal was Taylor's assault, that the victim spent five days in a coma immediately afterward; then several months recovering from the physical thrashing that accompanied the rape; plus, more than 10 years in psychotherapy.Mrs. Clinton knew for certain that Taylor was guilty of this crime, as she made clear years later when she discussed the case in a 1980s interview with Arkansas journalist Roy Reed. “He [Taylor] took a lie detector test!” Mrs. Clinton recalled. “I had him take a polygraph test, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.”Notwithstanding her certitude regarding the man's guilt, Clinton negotiated a plea bargain for Taylor by taking advantage of a prosecutorial error — the prosecutors had cut out and examined the blood-covered section of Taylor's underwear that proved his guilt, but then discarded the fabric, making it impossible for the defense to examine it. Because of this misstep, Clinton, confident that the prosecution would be unable to prove Taylor's guilt, pushed for a plea bargain.In the aforementioned 1980s interview, Mrs. Clinton laughed as she recounted how the polygraph results were clearly erroneous, and how a forensic scientist from New York was prepared to testify that Taylor could not be convicted if the underwear fabric was no longer available. When Reed asked Clinton about the outcome of the case, she replied, nonchalantly, “Oh he plea bargained. Got him off with time served in the county jail, he’d been in the county jail about two months.”Subsequent to the Taylor trial, a Newsday examination of court files and investigative files revealed that Mrs. Clinton had also attacked the young victim's character during the trial by calling into question her motives, her honesty, her temperament, and her ability to perceive reality — even though she knew with 100% certainty that her client was guilty.But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton, a great actress, never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women, including the scores of millions of women in the U.S., Israel, and elsewhere, whose very lives have been placed in irreversible peril as a result of this pass by law enforcement. She is a phony that some people, the folks that look and read and understand, can see. She represented the swamp.
