This article perhaps is the most unequivocal articulation of political reality of the establishment as well as warts-and-all exposé. It addresses H.R.C. as an exemplified state lady who has typified the best multi-facial characteristics required in the latter-day “free market” politics as an embodiment of so-called democracy. Its candor is supreme and it makes no bones about duplicity when compared with all other articles written by, of and for the establishment, all of which depend on pretzel logic, i.e. fallible, twisted or circular reasoning to blanch over H.R.C. and her clique’s wanting in honesty, trustworthiness and truthfulness while slandering anti-establishmentarians like Bernie Sanders and D.J.T. as hopeless liars for their forthright and true statements and denigrating their voters as deplorable. As a matter of fact, these revilers have run out of vocabularies for impugning D.J.T., by looking up tomes of dictionaries.
“Politicians need to be two-faced, Mrs. Clinton supposedly said
Most of us know she is right, even if we don’t admit it.” Translation: the establishment politics is a dirty business so being otherwise means disingenuousness; it’s proper and harmless for H.R.C. to get dirty because she is one of “us” hence can do no wrong.
“Right. In politics, hypocrisy and doublespeak are tools.” Translation: what’s practical is right; what’s good for the establishment is good for all; what’s done is always true.
“Is it hypocritical to take one line in private, then adjust or deny it in public? Of course [, it is]. But maintaining a separate public and private face is something we all do every day.” Translation: political pledges are as mundane and frivolous as equivalents of everyday small talks; no wonder H.R.C. and other establishment political hacks promise the credulous the world when needed, but perform nothing when it’s due. “In diplomacy, having two faces is similarly indispensable.” Translation: treating voters as a diplomatic entity on the opposite side, a multi-faced politician does not represents their interests whatsoever but only his or her own and owner’s. This tells us the reason why D.J.T. complains that H.R.C. is crooked, corrupt, lying and nasty.
“Mrs. Clinton’s instinct is to overprotect her privacy and over-manage her image
she understands that hypocrisy and two-facedness, when prudently harnessed to advance negotiations or avert conflicts, are a public good and a political necessity.” Meh! Advancing negotiation or averting conflicts with her poor, tired, trusted, loyal but powerless voters as her diplomatic opponents is beyond the prevailing opinion; the electorates of all stripes, witness the wanton mischief!
The establishment politicos have taken the votes of the racial minority, helpless lower middle class and wannabe-ratcheted-up middle class for granted and brought them to heel on the one hand, and the socio-economic reality has cornered the status quo so much so that they have to vaunt of their indispensable obligation to the country on the other hand. Rationalization of, by explaining away, H.R.C.’s wrongdoing serves the need for both.
An increasingly dangerous trend along this kind of political maneuver development is that their pompous public positions will more likely than not lie away ill-gotten power and lucre and disturb the judgment of political illegitimacy by the masses. If liberty, democracy and human rights are the two-faced H.R.C.’s public positions, then what are her private positions on these issues? Are they the same or mostly the same or completely opposite to her public positions? Is her public doting granny face a poisoned chalice? Being different from the unflattering, casual and unequivocal D.J.T. who neither has two-faces nor cuts a fascist figure, H.R.C.’s private positions becomes problematic. Her nostrums are therefore doubtful at the best and treacherous at the worst.
