Michael Moore was against Corporate America before he was for Hillary Clinton

Michael Moore was for the America worker before he was against him (or whatever) 

The worker is a hero? Or  a chump? The Old Left, as exemplified by Michael Moore, is so intellectually and morally shattered it does not know what it is saying with regards the to the 2016 election: http://www.salon.com/2016/10/26/michael-moore-people-will-vote-for-donald-trump-as-a-giant-fk-you-and-hell-win/ Our latter-day Marxist intellectual/filmmaker is out of step with his beloved worker (stereotype). Ought to go on tour with Bruce Springsteen.

A Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy

Some have suggested that a Hillary Clinton foreign policy would be better than Obama's catastrophic effort. I would just note that during her time as Secretary State she was more in favour of the Arab Spring (e.g. Libya) than Obama. When it all turned sour suddenly she was more against it than Obama. Thus, her hardback autobiography tells a different story about her pro-Arab Spring position than the paperback version. See here: https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2016/06/hillarys-nocturnal-omissions/  I assume, from this, that Hillary Clinton's foreign policy would consist of a cycle of misjudgments followed by cover-ups and scapegoating.

The Second American Civil War: Populist insurrection vs. Left Power Elite

Unsurprisingly, bohemian leftist newspapers make a caricature of themselves: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/22/donald-trump-gettysburg-contract-with-america-sue-accusers-hillary-clinton 

Time magazine's Jo Klein, to be fair, grasps some of the enormity of what is happening in America and throughout the West, even if - as a member of the Left Power Elite - he frames it in a negative way:http://time.com/4540101/sequel-to-donald-trump-campaign/?xid=homepage&pcd=hp-magmod       

The Middle East Forum: Hillary Clinton favourite of activist Salafist organisations

http://www.meforum.org/

Western civilisation is not entirely lost while organisations such as The Middle East Forum remain in existence. Their research shows that Hillary Clinton is the top recipient of activist Salafist largesse in the United States:http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/hillary-tops-middle-east-forums-islamist-money-list/   

A political reconfiguration for the twenty-first century

Certain kinds of leftists and certain kinds of conservatives find themselves on the same page

The Democrats can't be trusted to deal sanely with Russia

David Satter

David Satter takes down (former) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Watch this until the end: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/10/08/scary-truth-about-what-putin-really-wants-and-obama-s-willful-ignorance.html

The Democrats always have the worst foreign policy, don't they? Well, pretty well always. First Secretary of State Clinton was gushily pushing a bogus Reset button (including Uranium/Clinton Cash issues) with Putin's Russia; and now President Obama is helping to bring the world to the brink. The Obama administration's foreign policy has failed at every turn. Putin's Russia will never be "friends" with the freedom-loving West, but surely we can come up with something better than the Obama Doctrine.

Salafists remain a problem in Egypt

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi saved Egypt from from the Muslim Brotherhood

The Salafists in the Egyptian parliament, represented by the Nour Party, are sulking because the government wants to (a) allow the building of new Christian churches and (b) increase the penalty for female genital mutilation. The Muslim Brotherhood is now banned in Egypt but their "brothers in doctrine", the Nour Party, live on: http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/09/nour-party-salafists-egypt-parliament-withdrawal.html

The Politico-Media Complex: Manufacturing Consent for Clinton

If Noam Chomsky were a genuine libertarian he would write Manufacturing Consent (2.0) about today's Power Elite

Now, in another era, it is middle-class progressives - rather than middle-class moderates - who run the MSM.
