Tulsi Speaks Truth to the Establishment
Tulsi Gabbard, unusually for a Democrat, speaks the truth to her Party’s establishment about foreign policy and political corruption.
Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today I will once again be talking about Tulsi Gabbard. Her feud with Hillary Clinton knocked Syria off the front pages at least for this week.
What is Tulsi Gabbard to me?
Sometimes people comment or send me emails questioning whither I have some weird relationship with Tulsi. They write because I occasionally speak highly of her. The answer to that question is no. I have never in my life met her or even set eyes on her as far as I know. Furthermore I know the downside risk of someone with the economic philosophy of Tulsi in control of our credit-based centralized economy. Having given you that disclaimer we move on.
She is simply the one and only Democrat candidate for President who occasionally tells the truth. That makes her a target for establishment Democrats as we will see. She has criticized American Foreign Policy with its never ending wars, especially in Syria. That in turn has drawn the ire of old time Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The Russian asset gag targets Tulsi Gabbard
Hillary Clinton’s opponents, in any endeavor she happens to compete, are all Russian assets. And, except for those evil Russians and their American assets in both Parties, she has never lost at anything. Enter Tulsi Gabbard who says, in the most recent Democrat CNN debate,
Trump won the election in 2016.
That is common and obvious knowledge to most of us but not to Hillary Clinton. Tulsi’s willingness to tell the truth stunned the studio audience into silence.
Tulsi Gabbard breaks the speech code
If Trump won the election, then Hillary lost the election. And to publicly state that obvious fact is a clear violation of Democrat speech code. Therefore Tulsi is officially off the reservation and scheduled for banishment. Hillary did what she does so well and that is character assassination through lies.
I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democrat primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians, they have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.
Hillary Clinton accuses without evidence
The former First Lady and former Secretary of State of the United States cited no evidence for her assertion that a Democrat candidate for President of the United States is, in fact, a Russian agent. Perhaps everyone will soon be Russian agents except Hillary Clinton. Hillary also charged Green Party candidate Jill Stein with being a Russian asset.
That’s quite a diverse group of assets the Russians have, isn’t it. Donald Trump, a Republican; Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat; and Jill Stein, a Green, all agents of Russia so they have all the bases covered. I feel a little left out though because I was in that 2016 race. As far as I know I am free of any accusations of Russian collusion. It would probably have added to my credibility and that of the Constitution Party if Hillary had mentioned us. But alas, she has not so far.
THE tweet from Tulsi Gabbard
The accusations were not a joke to Tulsi, however, and she decided the best defense is a good offense. Clinton, while failing to name her directly as the one said, “She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. “ Tulsi acknowledged that she was the intended target and responded with the following Tweet:
Great! Thank You Hillary Clinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know—it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now a primary race between you and me. Don’t be cowardly and hide behind your proxies, join the race directly.
Breakdown of the Tulsi Gabbard tweet and thread
Queen of the warmongers
Let’s take a look at what Tulsi actually said to see if we can find anything useful such as the truth. First, she referred to Hillary as the queen of warmongers. If you look at Benghazi, the attack on Libya in general, as well as Syria, you might reasonably conclude that the statement is true. That statement about war and Tulsi’s view of the Middle East wars as bad decisions could be why the establishment wants to destroy her.
Embodiment of corruption
Embodiment of corruption and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long is an amazing accusation from a fellow Democrat. I guess when Hillary is out to destroy you why not just tell the truth as you see it? The most important idea in this statement is that the Democrat Party is sick and has been sick for a long time. Many of us can see the truth of that in our daily observations of American culture and values as fostered on us by the Democrat politicians as well as the changes brought on by stifling Soviet-style political correctness.
A Democrat tells the truth?
Somehow it is both shocking and refreshing to hear it from a Democrat member of Congress. She said that Hillary is the embodiment of this corruption and the personification of the rot. In other words the corruption is in her body and she is the rot that sickened the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is sick and Hillary carries the rot of the disease in her own body. Clinton’s blame of everything negative on the Russians, and destruction of everyone who is a threat attitude adds all the credibility needed for Tulsi’s statement.
Come on out of the closet and fight fair Tulsi said, but Hillary Clinton is too smart to do that. Character assassination through lies and deceit seems more to her liking. Tulsi wasn’t the only one attacked during the Clinton interview. She referred to Donald Trump as “Vladimir Putin’s Dream” and that his inauguration speech was
like a declaration of war on half of America.
Jill Stein was Russia’s asset, too, because the clever Russians know they cannot win without a third party. Thus they want to steer Tulsi to a third party run in 2020.
Tulsi Gabbard is not suicidal
Tulsi Gabbard may be angry because of what Hillary and the other establishment, deep state globalist, pro eternal war, Democrats have done to her. But I doubt if she is suicidal politically or literally. I wonder why special counsel and Democrat operative, Robert Mueller, during more than two years of investigation into the Trump-Russia accusations did not come across even a shred of evidence of Russian interest in Tulsi. The Russians, especially Vladimir Putin, must be getting quite a laugh out of Americans using them as their scapegoats.
Where Kamala Harris fits in
It wasn’t Hillary Clinton that the Russians feared in this instance, it was supposedly Kamala Harris. I know you must be laughing along with the Russians and I, but I’m not kidding. The Russians so feared Kamala Harris that they used Tulsi Gabbard to take her down. Once again Tulsi comes under attack for actually telling the truth, which I suppose, is an anathema to today’s Democrat candidates. In the second Democrat debate, Tulsi Gabard pointed out that it was a little hypocritical of Kamala Harris to prosecute and jail over 1500 people for marijuana possession and then while laughing, brag about her own marijuana use. That moment put Harris’s campaign into what appears to be an irreversible tailspin. So there has to be a reason other than Harris’s own hypocrisy.
Can Tulsi Gabbard still get the nomination?
I guess all this publicity has ruined Tulsi’s chances of getting the nomination, right. Well, no, whatever slim chance she had seems to have been given a shot in the arm. Actual real people out there in the Democrat world are hearing about what happened. They won’t hear the truth from CNN and they won’t read it in the New York Times, that’s for sure. The Times with all the news that’s fit to print right on its masthead publishes one glowing article about Hillary Clinton after another.
Where would Democrat voters look to find the truth then? There are very few choices for them, and even looking for the truth is an exhaustive search. But I suppose word gets around. The alternative media is a great resource now and it is very difficult to control. Like Edward Snowden recently said it has freed us from the monoculture of ideas in which we are expected to live.
Tulsi Gabbard seeks Republican friends!
Attacks by her fellow Democrats have pushed Tulsi Gabbard to seek friendship on both sides of the isle. That fact infuriates today’s new-wave extremely left Democrats who seem to hate and resent her “impurity.” She seems to search for the truth rather than give in to control by the Democrat establishment. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. So Tulsi Gabbard finds herself being defended by none other than the President of the United States.
Hillary Clinton, I don’t know if you’ve heard of her, she’s the one accusing everybody of being a Russian agent. Anybody that is opposed to her is a Russian agent. That’s a scam that was pretty much put down. I don’t know Tulsi but she’s not a Russian agent. I don’t know Jill Stein. I know she likes the environment. I don’t think she likes Russians. If she does like them I know she’s not an asset. These people are sick. There’s something wrong with them.
He went on to predict that Tulsi’s campaign would be helped by this affair.
The real reason for the Russian canard
What’s all this Russian stuff really about? I’m just speculating of course. But I believe the establishment, deep state, globalist people in the Democrat Party worry about the weakness of the field they have to match against Trump. They were counting on Joe Biden to carry their banner and it appeared to be his nomination to lose. So lose it he did with declining health and one corruption scandal after another. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders appear to be frontrunners but Sanders recently had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Both are probably too far to the left to win the 2020 general election. It would probably be very close but more than likely it will take four more years before socialism has reached majority status nationwide.
David Axelrod addresses the weak field
I saw a recent quote from David Axelrod who was formerly an advisor to President Obama. He said:
With Trump looming, there is genuine concern that the horse many have bet on may be pulling up lame and the horse who has sprinted out front may not be able to win.
The lame horse is obviously Joe Biden whose numbers are falling and contributions have stopped. I’ll wager that Trump being removed from office by one of the bogus Democrat investigations was counted on too.
A dark horse candidate?
Many of the establishment Democrats seem worried and would welcome a last minute savior to the race. Could that person be Hilary Clinton, perhaps Michael Bloomberg, or maybe even Michelle Obama? Bloomberg is a male white billionaire. So in the Democrat Party, against Trump another white Billionaire, he can just forget about it. Hillary admits that she thinks about it all the time. Could we have a Trump, Clinton rematch? Its possible folks, because in this dystopian world in which we live nothing is real, nothing can be believed, and therefore anything is possible. Hillary was recently quoted from an Instagram post saying “Power’s not given to you. You have to take it.”
Watch your back, Tulsi Gabbard
I suppose that’s what she’s been doing for most of her life; trying to take power by any means necessary. Tulsi Gabbard and anyone else who runs afoul of her should probably watch their backs. Because her enemies, especially those who are threats to her have a high mortality rate. It’s too bad about Tulsi though. She deserves better.
At least that’s the way I see it.
Until next time folks,
