'Inventing new dragon to slay': Clinton's archaic campaign tactics slammed by Russian FM spokesperson

Hillary Clinton is running for US president on promises to protect Americans from "traditional threats" like Russia and a "rising" China, which Russia's FM spokeswoman described as coming directly from populist pamphlets of the last century.

"No other country is better equipped to meet traditional threats from countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran - and to deal with the rise of new powers like China," the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, said during her first major campaign speech on Saturday. "As your President, I'll do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe."

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Press and Information Department, Maria Zakharova, struck back at the ex-US Secretary of State and former first lady, saying that the Democrats were apparently trying to create a "new dragon" in order to gloriously slay it.

"In order to defeat a dragon, the Democrats first needed to create it, which they have been doing successfully in recent years," Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page, adding that a proper election campaign required a new and worthy global enemy.

One small country like North Korea is a problem too insignificant for a "superpower, capable of basically anything," Zakharova said. And Iran, which the US is struggling to strike a deal with, is no longer a suitable candidate for the role of "global evil," she added.

According to Zakharova, Hillary Clinton is simply using outdated, but trusted, public relations techniques.

"Why throw away the worn notebooks with lectures on pre-election populism, if 50-year-old PR-technologies are still working? It's good enough, as they say," Zakharova added. "So welcome! The new 'enemies of the American people' - the 'traditionally threatening' Russia and a 'rising' China."

Hillary Clinton's campaign has gotten off to a rough start, but her largest obstacles still appear to be in front of her in the form of indistinct policy stances and scandals that continue to weigh down her momentum and popularity.

Comment: The real threat is Hillary herself: Hillary Clinton's lucrative life of crime

"Behind every great fortune," Balzac maintained, "lies a crime." If there were any justice, the Clintons would be in prison for a generation of criminal activity that has left America a corrupted, Third Worldified nation, poorer for having been looted by the companies and banks whose criminality they aided and abetted.

Hillary is scary

Hillary Clinton, I'm convinced, is dangerous. She's an elitist and a war criminal. She's at least a narcissistic sociopath, and probably a full-blown psychopath. I'm afraid she will kick off WWIII.

So what is the upper IQ limit to buy Hillary´s campaign? ... 100? It´s too much ... 80 more likely. But she knows it is still fair chance to win the elections.

Well, in the US you have to target the ones with lower IQ. Otherwise you're targetting only a small minority.

You'll miss us when we are gone.

I can't imagine how much longer America can survive at this rate. She's running virtually unopposed. Nobody has the chops to take her on and I'm not sure it matters anyway. I'm sure the next president has already been chosen for us, be it her or another another Obama who drops in out of nowhere.The elections are democracy theater. What I think it would take to get an honest American candidate elected is as far fetched as the official story of 9/11. I feel like I live in a prequel to the Hunger Games. As dreadful as it seems it's still a little surprising to find that we are so much more likely to kill ourselves than murder somebody else. In 2013 there were a little over 14,000 murders here in the USA. Over 41,000 of us went ahead and committed suicide. Even in combat the enemy can hardly keep up with how fast we kill ourselves. At some points our military has had a higher fatality rate due to suicide than combat. It's depressing.

The Mena Connection: Bush, Clinton, and CIA drug smuggling part 1/6

Film that includes clips from mainsteam media at the time, CBS etc. [Link] ARKANSAS GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH CIA DRUGS FOR GUNS CONNECTION By Paul DeRienzo An independent group of researchers in Arkansas are charging that Governor Bill Clinton is covering up an airport used by the CIA and major cocaine smugglers in a remote corner of the Ozark mountains. According to Deborah Robinson of In These Times, the Inter mountain Regional Airport in Mena,Arkansas continues to be the hub of operations for people like assassinated cocaine kingpin Barry Seal as well as government intelligence operations linked to arms and drug smuggling. In the 1980's, the Mena airport became one of the world's largest aircraft refurbishing centers, providing services to planes from many countries.Researchers claim that the largest consumers of aircraft refurbishing services are drug smugglers and intelligence agencies involved in covert activities.In fact, residents of Mena, Arkansas, have told reporters that former marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North was a frequent visitor during the 1980's. Eugene Hasenfus, a pilot who was shot down in a Contra supply plane over Nicaragua in 1986, was also seen in town renting cargo vehicles. A federal Grand Jury looking into activities at the Mena airport refused to hand down any indictments after drug running charges were made public.Deborah Robinson says that Clinton had "ignored the situation" until he began his presidential campaign." Clinton then said he would provide money for a state run investigation of the Mena airport. But according to Robinson, the promise of an investigation was never followed up by Clinton's staff. In fact, a local Arkansas state prosecutor blasted Clinton's promise of an investigation, comparing it to "spitting on a forest fire."

Who's gonna protect America from traditional threats like the Clintons, Bushes, and Rockefellers?

I have to laugh every time I hear somebody suggest that North Korea is a threat to the US. If that was true, then anybody could have crushed the US long ago.
