WHAT IS TRANSPARENCY?
“Transparency is about shedding light on rules, plans, processes and actions. It is knowing why, how, what, and how much. Transparency ensures that public officials, civil servants, managers, board members and business people act visibly and understandably, and report on their activities. And it means that the general public can hold them to account (or does it with this “pay to play” government system we live under?) It is the surest way of guarding against corruption, and helps increase trust in the people and institutions on which our futures depend.”
I’ve lived long enough to remember a lot of the scandals surrounding the Clintons, which most of the young people now-a-days are not even aware of. I’m not asking anyone to take my word about anything, but I am suggesting that people to do their own homework to know who they are planning on voting for. It is not good enough to vote a certain way because we have taken on the moniker of “democrat”, “republican”, “libertarian”, “independent”, or any other name we choose to call our self. Today with the internet, there is no reason for anyone not to seek the truth. The great Martin Luther King, Jr’s, “content of character” quote has inspired debate ever since his famous “I have a Dream” speech, and more than ever we should adhere to his words.
This election will determine the way this country is headed as we are on the brink of change, and it is not a good one, it is the destruction of this country as we have known it. The divisive nature that has been made an everyday way of life, the corruption in both parties, the silencing of voices, the acceptance of violence, and the greed for money and power is at its highest peak in my lifetime. Never have so many people on both sides of the isle been so disenchanted with politicians, large corporations, and the media, that be it the Sander’s Revolution or the Trump movement, the people are finally starting to be heard. The “We the people” are fighting for our rights, not the restrictions, regulations, bribery, payoffs, and lies, waste, fraud, abuse and corruption that the elitists are pushing down our throats.
I’ve included a lot of reasons why Hillary Clinton should not be elected. Some facts I’ve taken longer to point out, others just a brief summary (but all can be researched and checked for accuracy), but the main point is her “CONTENT OF CHARACTER”. I deliberately have not gotten into a lot of details about the current investigations surrounding her because most people know about her e-mails, her server, and her refusal to cooperate with investigative committees because it is on the news daily. The following list is not necessarily in order of importance, but facts that I feel people need to be made aware of.
Supreme Court Justices – Whoever is elected will most likely be able to make life long appointments of a couple, or more, justices. This one issue alone is one of great significance because despite the fact they are not suppose to lien towards one party over the other, we have seen it happened over and over again. They are the ones that will make the final decision on which way this country goes and their decisions will affect us for generations to come.
“I remember landing under sniper fire,” Hillary Clinton said during a George Washington University campaign event on March 17, 2008. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.” – 1996 Bosnia. This was later confirmed and proven that this incident never happened and Clinton had lied.
Laureate University/ Hillary University – In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer. Some schools have been closed and a lot of negative reports have been given by students.
Tavelgate – Hillary Clinton engineered the firing of seven employees of the White House travel office in order to hire a firm with ties to the Clintons to replace them. Multiple investigations absolved the president of involvement but Hillary Clinton was found to have made false statements to investigators.
Vince Foster – Was a Deputy White House Counsel during the first few months of Bill Clinton’s administration. Before that he was a partner at Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he worked with Hillary. He was also their personal attorney and was involved with Whitewater. It was alleged that after his questionable suicide/murder that files were missing from his office.
Whitewater – The Whitewater scandal was a real estate controversy involving the Clintons. In 1978, the Clintons partnered with James and Susan McDougal to purchase 220 acres of land that would become the Whitewater Development Corporation, which failed, and McDougal subsequently entered the banking industry, forming Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. An investigation led to McDougal’s resignation from Madison Guaranty, which found that Clinton had pressured David Hale into making a loan that benefited both Bill Clinton and Madison Guaranty. Three inquiries into the Whitewater land deal yielded insufficient evidence to charge the Clintons with criminal conduct. However, several of their associates were convicted as a result the investigations, and James McDougal died in prison because of his affiliation with all the surrounding scandals.
Sidney Blumenthal – Mr. Blumenthal was paid as a consultant at least $120,000 annually by the Clinton Foundation, though no one knows for sure how much he received because the foundation’s accounting procedures are not trustworthy. He encouraged the Clinton campaign to exploit Mr. Obama’s relationship to Reverend Jeremiah Wright when Hillary was running against him in 2008, and he sent dozens of anti-Obama articles from far-right publications to reporters and others, smearing Ms. Clinton’s rival. When Clinton became Secretary of State, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and senior adviser David Axelrod (both veterans of the Obama campaign) threatened to quit their jobs if Clinton officially hired Blumenthal at the State Department. Then White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told Clinton that she could not hire Blumenthal, But Clinton kept Blumenthal on board as an informal adviser and he has been the center of attention when it comes to the “found” e-mails regarding foreign affairs and predictions are being made that should Hillary win the 2016 election, Blumenthal will most likely have a position in her administration.
Troopergate – the mini-scandal erupted when a group of Arkansas state troopers told stories about soliciting women and facilitating extramarital trysts for Clinton while he was governor. This, like every other story, has been changed and denied.
Laughing about a rape – In 1975, Hillary Rodham defended a hard-drinking, indigent client against the charge that he had raped a 12-year-old girl. The Washington Free Beacon has a tape showing that Clinton likely thought her client was guilty as she reminisced about how she got him off the hook. “It was a fascinating case, it was a very interesting case,” Clinton says on the tape. “This guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old. Course he claimed that he didn’t, and all this stuff.” She laughs as she tells the interviewer she didn’t trust her client. “I had him take a polygraph, which he passed – which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” she chortles.
Equal Pay – While Senator of New York, from 2002 to 2008, the median annual salary for Mrs. Clinton’s staff for females staffers was $15,708.38 less than what was paid to men. Women earned a slightly higher median salary than men in 2005, coming in at $1.04. But in 2006, they earned 65 cents for each dollar men earned, and in 2008, they earned only 63 cents on the dollar, and the Clinton Foundation pays menn 38% more than female employees – so much for her fighting for equal pay.
Health Care – Hillary’s form of health care (health care meaning keeping people healthy and alive instead of killing babies up to the date of delivery), said, ‘”Religious Beliefs Have to Be Changed to Accommodate Abortion”, and even wants more money from taxpayers to go toward abortion despite their religious beliefs, and wants to push Obamacare despite the fact that the rates have gone up in double digits, and people can’t even afford their co-pays and never get to the point that the insurance even kicks in.
Charity – How only 10% of the Clinton foundation goes to charity and the rest is spent on travel and administration expenses.
Transparency – How she refuses to make her speeches to banks and big corporations public, when she was paid $21.6 million dollars during April, 2013 through March, 2015, and how she does everything to impede investigations to get to the truth about her activities, and that of her staff, or why she and her husband were paid even more funds for speeches to foreign governments and corporations. Can anyone believe her statement that she can relate to the average American because her and her husband were broke when they left the white house?
Stealing from the whitehouse – After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount.
Loss of Jobs – How she wants to destroy more jobs via the TPP, after her husband started the trail by signing NAFTA, and threatened to close down even more mines putting thousands of people out of work. See the video below to see how Clinton’s position on TPP have been delayed until after the election.

Lying About Bengazi – Let us not forget her lying over the caskets of four great Americans, and than calling the parents liars when they spoke the truth, and then saying “What difference does it make?” To moms, dads, siblings, other family and friends, it does matter how their loved ones died. Supposedly she was friends with the Ambassador who was killed – with this kind of friend, who needs enemies?
Health or Money – Her being in bed with Wall Street and big corporations, in favor of GMO foods, and our right to have labeling on what we eat, while insisting that the white house only serves organic foods. “With a sad twist of irony, corporate and government elite dine on safe, organic food while the masses, those very people who are supposedly represented and protected by their governments, are poisoned by hidden genetically modified organisms, pesticides and dangerous contaminants.” When Clinton worked at the Rose Law Firm in the 1980s, Monsanto was a client. Her association with Monsanto has led to an increasing co-mingling of former biotech employees with the federal government. Many were hired and appointed to the FDA and the USDA during the Clinton administration in the 1990s.
The “pay for play” agenda of the Clintons reared its ugly head again when Faj Fernando was given high security clearance and given a position as a Nuclear Security Advisor. Mr. Fernado was and is a large donor and bundler on behalf of the Clintons, who had absolutely no experience whatsoever to be an advisor. After ABC started to ask questions, Mr. Fernado resigned.
This is the woman who won an award and talked about how much she admires Margaret Sanger, who’s agenda was for the killing of blacks, handicapped people, euthanasia, and abortion. and worked with the Klu Klux Klan. In April 2009, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry spoke to her while she was Secretary of State and Hillary Clinton compares the eugenics advocate and racist Margaret Sanger to Thomas Jefferson. Clinton even seemed to say that Sanger is superior to Jefferson. Watch the video to hear Hillary Clinton accepting Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award and her admiration for Margaret Sanger.
Women’s Rights – How she accepts money through her foundation from countries that abuse, stone, kill, and engage in genital mutilation and never says a word about it, or the fact that these same countries do not allow women to leave their homes unless accompanied by a male relative, refuse education to females, and have no rights – so much on women’s rights or her working to protect them in her powerful capacity of influence and favors.)
Violence – The same woman who backs violence by backing and speaking up for groups like Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Moveon.org, SEIU, and other protestors who are paid to create violence and chaos. Protestors who had to sue in order to get paid. According to the Washington Times as well as other news organizations, “At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests”. “Hired Black Lives Matter protesters start #CutTheCheck after being stiffed by ACORN successor group.” It was the successors of ACORN, that stiffed the protesters and started a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE to demand their money.”
A woman who only won the nomination by paid for super delegates, while stopping Bernie Sander’s supporters from even having a voice, and a rigged party and media at her disposal who made up lies about Sander’s supporters, and refused to hear their voices, took away their microphones and lied about what happened in Vegas, as well as deliberately lying about supposed violence by Sander’s supporters that never happened.
How have the democrats benefited our military or our vets? Our military is below WW11 standards, and vets are dying every day from lack of health care, not being able to find jobs, suffering from PTSD, committing suicide, and many are homeless. Where has the outcry about this from the Clintons?
Where has the justice been when it comes to the IRS going after conservatives?
2nd Amendment – A federal appeals court this week ruled that there is no Second Amendment protection for concealed weapons — allowing states to prohibit or restrict the public from carrying concealed firearms. This is not the only appeals court to do so. Hillary Clinton is in favor of taking away our gun rights.
WHY GET INTO BILL CLINTON’S WOMANIZING? BECAUSE HILLARY MOCKED AND HELPED DEFAME THE WOMEN WHO CAME FORWARD. So much for helping or protecting women in her false pretense of fighting for women’s rights. I can remember like it was yesterday when Hillary Clinton called all these women liars and accused the right wing of making up these stories – that is until her husband was forced to admit he was guilty, not out of conscious, but because there was physical proof that he could not get rid of.
Monica Lewinsky – The news broke in January of 1998 that Linda Tripp, a former co-worker, had Lewinsky on tape talking about an illicit affair between Lewinsky and President Clinton. Immunity was granted to Lewinsky from prosecution in exchange for testimony of her liaisons with Clinton, who, in public and under oath, had denied any sexual relationship. What couldn’t be denied was the blue dress with Clinton’s DNA on it. When Clinton was forced to admit an “inappropriate relationship,” the House of Representatives impeached him.
Paula Jones – President Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Corbin Jones to end her sexual harassment lawsuit, finally settling a case that later sparked a criminal investigation, and as usual Clinton got off buy paying his way out of it.
Juanita Broderick – No charges were ever pressed against Clinton. Excerpts from Full Transcript of NBC Dateline report on Juanita Broaddrick: While being interviewed by NBC Dateline, the interviewer asked, “The question everyone is going to ask is ‘Juanita, why didn’t you report this 21 years ago?’” Broaddrick replied, “I didn’t think anyone would believe me in the world…she claims she volunteered to hand out bumper stickers and signs — her first and only political campaign. Broaddrick says she met Clinton for the first time when he made a campaign stop at her nursing home in the spring of 1978 and he told her to call him when she was in the city…she had agreed to meet him at a coffee shop that he suggested, but later he called her and asked if he could come to her hotel room as there were reporters in the coffee shop. She agreed, thinking this was a political meeting, and it was during this time that the rape occurred, as well as his biting and bruising her lip…Well, I was very emotional within an hour or so after it happened and then by the time Norma got back my whole top lip was turned out, was very swollen and very ugly looking…Norma Kelsey accompanied Juanita on the Little Rock business trip and they shared a hotel room…Norma says when she left that morning Broaddrick told her she was planning to see Clinton. But Norma says when she called around lunchtime, Broaddrick was upset and crying so she returned to the room. Norma also says that Broaddrick’s lip and mouth were badly swollen, that her pantyhose had been ripped off and she says Broaddrick told her she had been sexually assaulted by Clinton.
