The Clinton's blood money

By now everyone knows about the lie heard around the world. I have no illusions that most people are going to care about this a whole lot. I do remember the 80's when AIDS ravaged the country and as I write this there are 1.8 million who have the disease. And too many have already died.

I am going to be honest about my goal here. I want the Clinton's to pay for this politically. I want Hillary herself to be extremely sorry she ever brought up the issue of AIDS. This disease has killed 535,000 people in the United States alone. Those are a lot of empty chairs at holiday dinners. I saw one of those empty chairs myself and I am still so livid I am struggling to remain coherent, perhaps I have lost the struggle some would say. This disease has ravaged too many families for me to just sit and stew in my own rage. I am intending to take this fight to the internet. I don't know how many will do the same. I hope the numbers are legion. But, even if they are not I will still do this as much as I can.

This is an article I am pretty sure I found on DU:

https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/1999/may/15/tainted-plasma-traced-to-arkansas-prison-bill-clintons-blood-trails/

The following is the item I found the most damning:


Mays, who served as a vice-president for finance at the Democratic National Committee, has been at the heart of several Clinton scandals. In 1996, he was credited with securing Little Rock restaurateur Charlie Trie's $100,000 contribution to the Democratic Party's coffers. He also pops up in the Whitewater probe, where he tried to stave off the federal prosecution of David Hale. Mays and his wife have been frequent visitors to the White house, including an overnight stay in the Lincoln bedroom. Dunn claims that Mays was recommended to him by Clinton and prison board chairman and Clinton intimate, Woodson Walker.



It is not what I found the most infuriating though. My uncle the one who left an empty chair at my first Christmas back in Michigan from Minnesota, had become so ill from the disease he couldn't attend Christmas dinner. I saw him that Thanksgiving and he had lost a shocking amount of weight and he wasn't himself at all. He was still my uncle though. I saw my aunt fighting tears for the whole family event. My cousins were also somber.

I remember the ridiculous claims of the Clinton's killing people and those claims are still ridiculous. Somehow this makes it worse that people would believe such nonsense while very real killing was going on. HIV infected blood killed real people. HIV infected blood killed Gary Daniels.

That link once again is:

The Republican theme.

Everywhere one looks, there's some horrible ghost in their closet.

Beyond sad.

6. And the people who support the Clintons still don't understand why she is an aweful candidate

Politics and the people we blindly support have a very real impact on our lives. It might take a while for it to trickle down to you, but you will be impacted by those you put into office.

I applaud you for your effort and I understand your anger.

7. And this is Hillary's fault?

because her husband owns her? Because someone associated with Bill Clinton is implicated, so that means Hillary, as a mere appendage of her husband, is guilty? That will teach women to leave the kitchen.

Because she made a mistake in speaking about Nancy Reagan and apologized the same day, rather than repeating misstatements about history, doubling down on them, and refusing to acknowledge any problem in doing so? Perhaps she should go on and make public pronouncements about the increase of poverty that relate only to white men yet present those figures as though they were universal, as though no one else even counted? Would that be better?

Really, you are okay with Bill directly profiting from this via fund raising for his campaign and Hillary standing by him while he was a defendant. Okay I think your head is in a really weird place.
