It would have been very easy for the government/media to have just said that Colin (pronounced “Colon”) Powell died from cancer and being 84 years old. There was no reason to add “covid” to this.

I mean – he was literally in the hospital, being treated for cancer.

But for some reason, the government/media said he died of covid, and made a big deal about how he was totally vaxed up.

Of course people who don’t want to take this vax are going to point to that and say “you people said that if you took the vax you become immortal and never die.”

Washington Post:

He was the youngest chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was the first Black American to become secretary of state. And in his prime, he was one of the most respected leaders in the country.

But within hours of the public announcement Monday that Colin Powell died of complications from covid-19 despite a full course of vaccination, some conservative officials and media personalities tried to make him something else: A prominent reason to doubt the coronavirus vaccines’ utility and question the political and health officials urging Americans to get them.

Tucker Carlson opened his prime-time Fox News program Monday evening by telling his viewers that Powell’s death shows that they’ve “been lied to” about the vaccines’ ability to quash the pandemic. “Vaccines may be highly useful for some people, but across the population, they do not solve covid,” Carlson said.

Fox News’s Will Cain declared Powell’s death a “very high-profile example that’s going to require more truth,” implying doubts about the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who has frequently minimized the significance of covid, wrote on Twitter: “Post-vaccine breakthrough infection kills more people than Iraq’s WMD’s ever did,” a reference to the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction that were used by Powell, who led George W. Bush’s State Department, and others as a reason to go to war in Iraq.

Yikes.

That’s a difficult sentence, WaPo.

Powell, who was 84 and immunocompromised, fit perfectly into a demographic that remains vulnerable to infections despite vaccination. His age puts him at a higher risk for covid-19, and he was battling a blood cancer that’s known to make vaccines less effective. He also suffered from Parkinson’s disease.

“He had two strikes against him already,” said Celine Gounder, an infectious-diseases specialist who was on President Biden’s covid advisory board during the transition, referring to Powell’s age and medical condition. “He was just not going to respond as well to the vaccines.”

So what was the difference between his death and the deaths of all of the other people who supposedly died from COVID NINE-TEEN?

The average age of death is always – in every country – higher than the average life expectancy.

The only people who were ever threatened by the alleged virus were people in their 80s with cancer.

That has been true since the original “outbreak” in Italy in February of 2020, nearly two years ago.

What the medical establishment has claimed outright is that these vaccines can make you immortal.

If they can’t save cancer patients in their 80s from dying, they have no purpose, because those were the only people who were ever dying of the alleged virus.

But in a political moment where every public health strategy to mitigate the virus has been politicized, public health experts said they expect Powell’s death to be misconstrued to feed a narrative that the vaccinations do not work.

“They’re looking for reasons to not get vaccinated, to convince people not to get vaccinated, to say it’s a futile, useless act,” Gounder said. “Why that is, I just do not understand.”

Using Powell’s death to raise questions about the vaccines also plays into an effort on the right to minimize the impact of and need for getting the shots, even though public health experts across the globe have consistently said that high rates of vaccination are needed to end the pandemic.

Republican officials are nearly universally opposed to businesses and governments mandating the coronavirus vaccines. But a segment of the party has gone further, publicly questioning the science and efficacy behind mitigation measures.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday on Fox News of the vaccines: “The mounting data shows that they’re not working or are as safe as we all hoped and prayed they would be.” The vaccines, developed in record time, have far exceeded public health officials’ efficacy expectations against serious infections and death.

HAHAHA!

Related: Science Study Shows Vaccine Does Nothing

There expectations were that the vax would somehow do less than nothing?

There is no difference in positive tests in vaxed countries, and according to the CDC, more people have died from the virus since the vax was deployed.

The White House acted swiftly to tamp down any notion that Powell’s death undermines the vaccines. When asked Monday about Powell’s death, Biden noted his medical history. “He had serious underlying conditions,” Biden said. “That’s the problem.” He added that Americans should “absolutely” get vaccinated.

During a White House briefing Monday, press secretary Jen Psaki emphasized how unusual it is for breakthrough infections to lead to death.

“There are extremely rare cases of deaths or hospitalizations among fully vaccinated individuals,” Psaki said when asked about Powell. “Underlying health issues, fighting other diseases is something that can lead to greater risk.”

No one without an underlying health issue was alleged to have died from the supposed virus in the first place.

So literally, nothing has changed.

The vaccine does not do anything.

And the fact that the media is making this big deal out of Colin (pronounced “Colon”) Powell dying while vaxed indicates to me that they’re planning to ramp up some new narrative about how the vax has failed because of the unvaxed so now we have to go back into lockdowns to protect 84-year-old cancer patients.

Colin Powell didn't die because he was vaccinated. he died because you weren't

Yes, you read that headline correctly.

And no, it’s not some kind of satire or whatever – this is actually what these people are saying.

Exactly! I’m immune compromised. I’m triple vaxed. I wear a mask everywhere and still hand sanitize constantly. It scares me to think I could get sick, because others don’t care.

— Tigerlily (@Tigerlily1011) October 18, 2021

We all need to take more responsibility. He died because we didn’t do enough to get cases down in our communities.

Yes, we need vaccines. We also need masks, testing, good ventilation, and some closures. We know how to get cases down if we’re willing to do it.

— David Baker (@DavidBa69494891) October 18, 2021

So, to make sure I’m hearing you correctly, the vaccine doesn’t protect the vaccinated?

“Complications from covid” is code for severe adverse reactions to the covid vaccine. But keep blaming it on everyone else…

— jasondinner (@jasondinner) October 18, 2021

It reminds me of that lyric in Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” – “I shouted out ‘who killed the Kennedys,’ when after all, it was you and me.”

But seriously though – what is going on this this Colin (pronounced “Colon”) situation?

I don’t know if you’ve been following the news, but he had  multiple myeloma, a pretty serious form of cancer, and he was 84 years old. Just to be clear, the average male life expectancy in the United States is 76. The average African American male life expectancy is 72. Either way, the idea that the coronavirus is responsible for the death of this elderly man with cancer is pretty silly.

So it really would have been easy to say “Colon passed away at the ripe age of 84 after a struggle with cancer.”

Instead, they said “HE DIED OF COVID EVEN THOUGH HE WAS VAXED AND IT IS THE FAULT OF UNVACCINATED PEOPLE! IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU, HE’D HAVE BEAT THE CANCER AND LIVED TO BE 250 YEARS OLD!”

So, there are a few different things that are to be considered here:

• They are moving away from “a few breakthrough cases” to “the vaccine just doesn’t work at all”
• It’s the fault of the unvaccinated that the vaccine doesn’t work
• This is preparation for a whole new narrative – i.e., “we’re back at square one”

I’ve been expecting that they would kick things up a notch before the winter. When it gets to be normal flu season, they have between 50,000-80,000 natural flu deaths they can point at and say “COVID DID THIS.” It’s a lot easier for people to believe this hoax in the winter.

I think they want to implement some kind of FULL AUSTRALIA scenario in the United States. Actually, I’m sure they want to do that. And the fact that Joe Biden is failing at everything definitely doesn’t make them less likely to do that.

My prediction has been that the narrative will be something like what we’re seeing seeded here with Powell – “oh well, the unvaccinated made the vaccine stop working and there’s a new variant so we have to start all over again – and this time we really need to lock down hard to make sure we really flatten the curve this time around.

We’re seeing the narrative building up all throughout the media – as I wrote earlier today, New Zealand, a country will a whomping 28 deaths attributed to the alleged doom virus, is nearly “fully vaccinated” and they’re now saying that they have higher positive tests than ever before. As I’ve explained six million times, you can manipulate the number of positive tests to get it anywhere you want it by changing the number of cycles on the PCR test. So, all these countries saying “we all took the vax but it didn’t work!” could just as easily have lowered the PCR threshold and said “wow, this vax is great! we totally solved the problem!”

Obviously, even if you believe there is a Sars-CoV-2 virus, the number of deaths is so low that no one could possibly notice. Even if the vax didn’t work at all, you could just alter the test and claim victory. In nearly two years, 28 New Zealanders died. So if the virus is real and it went totally wild and killed ten times that number because people started living their lives normally, no one is going to wonder about 280 people dying per year.

Point being: they could say the vaccine works if they wanted to. They could also say “but you have to take this booster every six months” and people would do that. All of this is a total hoax, and the government/media can literally say whatever they want about anything. The only reason that they would claim the vaccine doesn’t do anything is if they are planning on doing more lockdowns and various other restrictions to continue to destroy the society and economy.

I said from the beginning: the US government wants to bring the Australia system there.

And nothing is stopping them.

Democrats will all go along with it. They like this whole covid thing – it gives meaning to their lives.

Republicans will just smugly say that Joe Biden isn’t really following the science and then do everything they’re told to do.

This is quite literally the ride that never ends.

This vaccine is safe and effective. It will probably kill you, or maybe you’ll die from the virus or whatever.

But the science has confirmed that it’s safe and effective.

NBC News:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, the first Black Secretary of State, died Monday due to complications from Covid-19, his family said in a statement on Facebook.

Powell, 84, was fully vaccinated from Covid-19, his family said. He received treatment at Walter Reed National Medical Center.

“General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19. He was fully vaccinated,” the family said in the statement.

It’s getting harder and harder to shame purebloods.

If you’re going to die of the vaccine – or die of a virus after getting the vaccine – then the vaccine does not “save lives,” regardless of what the science says.

Anyway – his name is “Colin,” but he pronounced it “Colon.”

So I guess it’s safe to say that the Covid 19 vaccine is not a safe way to detox your Colon.

Whatever.

It’s great he’s dead.

This is the guy who hoaxed the Iraq War, saying Saddam Hussein was going to invade America.

People were like “he wouldn’t lie – he’s black!”

What a horrible person.

This is a good Colin Powell email pic.twitter.com/66krJvciYL

— Will Rahn (@willrahn) September 14, 2016

Thank KEK the US government has high-level affirmative action hires like Colin Powell (pronounced “Colon Pao”) who are so stupid they reply to phishing emails from diabolical Russian hacker geniuses (Russian genius hackers are the only ones who can do really good phishing emails, because it takes a major state entity to create really good phishing emails), or we wouldn’t be able to find out about Bill Clinton’s dicking.

One of Powell’s leaked emails reads:

I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year person [sic] with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy,not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home (according to the NYP).

The email was sent on July 26, 2014 to Jeffrey Leeds, a hedge fund manager who is a major Democrat donor. Powell serves on the board of his fund, Leeds Equity Partners.

The Powell emails, which were released yesterday by DCLeaks, are from his Gmail account, meaning there is no way this is any type of “hack.” Gmail doesn’t just get “hacked.”

The account could only have been accessed for one of four reasons:

1. Powell’s password was guessable
2. Powell used the same password for some other much less secure purpose
3. Powell responded to a phishing email, which would said something like “this is seriously the real Google, there is strange activity on your account, please reply to this email with your password so we know everything is cool”
4. Powell clicked a link installing a trojan on his computer

Once again: Black people are stupid.

Most likely, all of the information being leaked by DNCLeaks is accessed through one of these three methods.

And once again: absolutely anyone could have exploited any of those four situations. It doesn’t take a “large state entity” to do this, and anyone who knows anything knows that.

This once again demonstrates just how stupid the government believes the American public is, as they present “hacking” as some sort of high-level dark magic that you can only do with quantum super-computer AI which can only be afforded by a global superpower.

Another Powell-Leeds exchange talked about how much the Clintons hate Obama.

Kinda funny.

Colin Powell (pronounced “Colon Pao”) is always the smartest guy in a room full of Blacks.

As all White people know, if you’re going to commit a crime, you need a colored person to blame it on.

But what if the colored person finds out, and doesn’t want to be blamed?

Well, then you’ve got yourself a proper email scandal.

Fox News:

Colin Powell attempted to persuade Hillary Clinton and her aides to not use him as a scapegoat for the controversy surrounding Clinton’s private email server, according to leaked emails hacked from Powell’s Gmail account.

In the emails, which were obtained by The Intercept, Powell wrote to at least one confidant about his repeated warning to Clinton not to blame him for the scandal.

“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” he wrote. He also had tried to settle the matter in a meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.

In a separate email, Powell said he “warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement.”

A typical woman.

Powell had previously accused Clinton of trying to “pin” the scandal on him after Clinton, who served as secretary of state under President Obama, told federal authorities in July that Powell had detailed to her his email practices as secretary of state under George W. Bush, according to a New York Times report in August.

The paper cited a passage from an upcoming book about Bill Clinton’s post-presidency that read, “Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.”

Powell’s emails from his Gmail account were leaked by D.C. Leaks, a website that releases hacked emails from U.S. military officials and politicians and is said to have ties to Guccifer 2.0, who some believe has tied to Russian Intelligence.

According to The Intercept, Powell regularly exchanged emails with reporters and friends about Clinton’s server controversy, explaining that his situation had been different than Clinton’s. Powell never setup a private server and used a government computer for classified matters.

The Clinton campaign’s attempt to try to say Powell had encouraged the use of a private server left him deeply troubled.

“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin (sic) record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote to business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”

Again, typical woman.

Not responsible for here own behavior, on any level.

They’ll never suspect a White woman!

It is just the response of a woman caught doing anything to blame some man who “told her to do it.” The sick part is, even in our feminist society, where we are told women are exactly equal to men in every way, we still accept this accuse the overwhelming majority of the time.

Because it is natural for women not to hold any responsibility for anything, as they are incapable of holding responsibility for anything. It is natural for men, when a woman does something insane or criminal, to say “what man put you up to this?”

And I pretty much think that’s fine. They aren’t capable of personal responsibility, and thus shouldn’t be held personally responsible for anything. But you can’t combine that with feminism. Everything stops making sense.

You end up with Hillary Clinton, an above the law MEGA VILLAIN who is allowed to blame everything she does on other people and just keep rolling along.

This is what Trump means when he talks about the “woman card.” All of Hillary’s support is from women, who view her as a part of the female collective, or from men, who feel bad that a mean man is being mean to her, trying to hold her responsible for her own behavior.

Also

The anti-White racist Colin Powell (pronounced “Colon Pao”) also referred to Trump as a “national disgrace” in his leaked emails – and complained about “racism”!

NBC News:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Donald Trump as a “national disgrace” and “international pariah” in a personal email exchange that was leaked online by hackers.

Powell, a retired 4-star general and a Republican, confirmed the authenticity of the emails to NBC News.

“The hackers have a lot more,” he added.

The contents of the emails were first reported by Buzzfeed News. It said the messages had been obtained by the website DCLeaks.com which MSNBC reported is rumored to have ties to Russian intelligence services.

Powell called Trump a “national disgrace” and “international pariah” in a June 17 email to a former aide, saying the Republican presidential contender was “in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him.”

A subsequent email to the same former aide on Aug. 21 slammed Trump for spurring the “racist” so-called “birther” movement — the consistently debunked rumor that President Barack Obama was born in another country.

“Yup, the whole birther movement was racist,” Powell wrote, according to Buzzfeed. “That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim.”

Powell was the only prominent member of the Bush administration to come out and publicly say he was voting for Barack Obama (gee, I wonder why?). Liberals then cheered, saying “the only credible member of the Bush administration is voting Barack,” apparently having forgot that Colin was the one who presented that Nigerian uranium hoax by holding up anthrax at the UN.

Along with this, it’s worth noting that Powell is once again here proved to not be any sort of Don Lemon-tier Magical Negro, but a typical Black retard who either had a gmail password so easy that someone guessed it (and you don’t get very many guesses with gmail, so it would have had to have been really, really easy) or was using the same password for something much less secure, or – most likely – replied to a fishing email to “confirm your password.”

Those are the only three ways his gmail could have been hacked, and all indicate an abominably low IQ.

If she is severely braindamaged, that certainly explains the entire email scandal, as well as her ongoing seizures and other weird behavior, such as the inappropriate hysterical laugh.

But do we want a severely braindamaged woman running the country?

I guess the question is: could something bad happen because a person with severe braindamage is running the country?

Newsweek:

Hillary Clinton, under questioning by federal investigators over whether she had been briefed on how to preserve government records as she was about to leave the State Department, said she had suffered a concussion, was working part-time and could not recall every briefing she received.

Clinton, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, raised the health scare during her 3-1/2-hour interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department prosecutors on July 2, according to an FBI summary released on Friday.

Besides the 11-page interview summary, the FBI also released other details of its investigation into her use of an unauthorized private email system while running the State Department, in which it concluded she mishandled classified information but not in a way that warranted a criminal prosecution.

Clinton told investigators she could not recall getting any briefings on how to handle classified information or comply with laws governing the preservation of federal records, the summary of her interview shows.

“However, in December of 2012, Clinton suffered a concussion and then around the New Year had a blood clot,” the FBI’s summary said. “Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received.”

A Clinton campaign aide said Clinton only referenced her concussion to explain she was not at work but for a few hours a day at that time, not that she did not remember things from that period.

The concussion was widely reported then, and Republicans have since used it to attack the 68-year-old candidate’s health in a way her staff have said is unfounded.

The FBI report, which does not quote Clinton directly, is ambiguous about whether it was her concussion that affected her ability to recall briefings.

The FBI declined to provide further comment on the report.

…

Trump’s campaign issued a statement immediately following the FBI report’s release saying the notes from the interview “reinforce her tremendously bad judgment and dishonesty.”

Clinton has said that in hindsight she regretted using a private email system while secretary of state.

…

The documents also show that Clinton contacted former Secretary of State Colin Powell in 2009 to ask about his use of a personal BlackBerry phone.

In his reply to Clinton via email, Powell told Clinton to “be very careful” because the work-related emails she sent on her BlackBerry could become public record.

“I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data,” Powell said, according to the summary.

It’s so funny she is literally saying “I did it because a man said it was okay” (extra funny because she’s blaming the Black guy).

No matter what level a woman is on, this fact remains constant: she cannot grasp the idea that she could be personally responsible for her own behavior.

Colin (pronounced “Colon” for some reason) Powell is being blamed for Hillary’s decisions. He has responded to these allegations by claiming he didn’t do nothing.

However, a lot of high-level women will claim to understand the concept of personal responsibility in order to manipulate men. Hillary Clinton is apparently incapable of doing this.

After her use of a private email system became public knowledge in March 2015, Clinton repeatedly said she did not use it to send or receive classified information. The government forbids handling such information outside secure channels.

The FBI has since concluded Clinton was wrong to say that: At least 81 email threads contained information that was classified at the time, although the final number may be more than 2,000, the report said. Some of the emails appear to include discussion of planned future attacks by unmanned U.S. military drones, the FBI report showed.

“CLINTON believed the classification level of future drone strikes depended on the context,” the FBI’s interview summary said. The U.S. government requires that military plans be classified.

How was she supposed to know information about future bombings was classified?

The poor woman has serious brain damage.

I mean, she probably used to know that anything to do with military plans is classified – most any random person you approached on the street and asked would know that, presumably including little children – but the women’s mind is shot. She’s having seizures, she can’t even walk up stairs.

tfw maybe certain military attack plans aren’t classified. I mean, it’s Pakistan – even if they had the internet to find out about the attack plans, which they don’t, they couldn’t do anything to stop them.

Can we really hold her responsible for this?

The FBI released its report on Friday afternoon before the Labor Day holiday weekend, a time many Americans are preparing to travel.

Pure coincidence.

You can get the full FBI report on their website. I haven’t read it, but there’s probably some juicy bits in it the media hasn’t reported. Although braindamage and “I didn’t know all military attack plans were classified” are pretty juicy bits.

We now have yet another document proving that George Bush and Tony Blair conspired to fix intelligence on Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction” in order to push for a massive war in this third world desert country.

But we already had the Downing Street Memo confirming this, and none of these men were ever prosecuted for treason or anything else.

What is more interesting than that this confirms something already known about Bush and Blair is where the document was found: in Hillary Clinton’s email.

Daily Mail:

A bombshell White House memo has revealed for the first time details of the ‘deal in blood’ forged by George Bush and Tony Blair over the Iraq War.

The damning memo, from secretary of state Colin Powell to president George Bush, was written on March 28, 2002, a week before Bush’s famous summit with Blair at his Crawford ranch in Texas.

The Powell document, headed ‘Secret… Memorandum for the President’, lifts the lid on how Blair and Bush secretly plotted the war behind closed doors at Crawford.

In it, Powell tells Bush that Blair ‘will be with us’ on military action. Powell assures the president: ‘The UK will follow our lead’.

The classified document also discloses that Blair agreed to act as a glorified spin doctor for the president by presenting ‘public affairs lines’ to convince a skeptical public that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction – when none existed.

In return, the president would flatter Blair’s ego and give the impression that Britain was not America’s poodle but an equal partner in the ‘special relationship’.

The sensational leak shows that Blair had given an unqualified pledge to sign up to the conflict a year before the invasion started.

…

The disclosure is certain to lead for calls for Sir John Chilcot to reopen his inquiry into the Iraq War if, as is believed, he has not seen the Powell memo.

A second explosive memo from the same cache also reveals how Bush used ‘spies’ in the Labour Party to help him to manipulate British public opinion in favor of the war.

The documents, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, are part of a batch of secret emails held on the private server of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which U.S. courts have forced her to reveal.

Former UK Conservative shadow home secretary David Davis said: ‘The memos prove in explicit terms what many of us have believed all along: Tony Blair effectively agreed to act as a frontman for American foreign policy in advance of any decision by the House of Commons or the British Cabinet.

…

The former Prime Minister has always hotly denied the claim that the two men signed a deal ‘in blood’ at Crawford to embark on the war, which started on March 20, 2003.

Powell says to Bush: ‘He will present to you the strategic, tactical and public affairs lines that he believes will strengthen global support for our common cause,’ adding that Blair has the presentational skills to ‘make a credible public case on current Iraqi threats to international peace’.

Five months after the summit, Downing Street produced the notorious ‘45 minutes from doom’ dossier on Saddam Hussein’s supposed Weapons of Mass Destruction. After Saddam was toppled, the dossier’s claims were exposed as bogus.

Nowhere in the memo is a diplomatic route suggested as the preferred option.

Instead, Powell says that Blair will also advise on how to ‘handle calls’ for the ‘blessing’ of the United Nations Security Council, and to ‘demonstrate that we have thought through “the day after” ’ – in other words, made adequate provision for a post-Saddam Iraq.

Critics of the war say that the lack of post-conflict planning has contributed to the loss of more than 100,000 lives since the invasion – and a power vacuum which has contributed to the rise of Islamic State terrorism.

…

The memo was included in a batch of 30,000 emails which were received by Mrs Clinton on her private server when she was US Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013.

Another document included in the email batch is a confidential briefing for Powell prepared by the U.S. Embassy in London, shortly before the Crawford summit.

The memo, dated ‘April 02’, includes a detailed assessment of the effect on Blair’s domestic position if he backs US military action.

…

It states: ‘[name redacted] told us the intention of those feeding the story is not to bring down Blair but to influence him on the Iraq issue’.

‘Some MPs would endorse action if they had proof that Iraq has continued to develop WMD since UN inspectors left.

‘More would follow if convinced that Iraq has succeeded in developing significant WMD capability and the missiles to deliver it.

‘Many more would follow if they see compelling evidence that Iraq intends and plans to use such weapons. A clear majority would support military action if Saddam is implicated in the 9/11 attacks or other egregious acts of terrorism’.

…

Neither Mrs Clinton nor Mr Powell replied to requests for comment.

This means that Hillary knew that the Iraq war was a total hoax, and yet withheld this information from the public, even while it would hurt her supposed political opponents.

To those here, this is not surprising, but what of the masses of democrats? How do they feel about their feminist champion conspiring with the GOP to keep hidden damning information about the Iraq war being a hoax from the beginning?

I suppose if they don’t care that she is calling for a world war with Russia, they won’t much care about this either.

This also confirms, again, that she was keeping extremely sensitive material on her secret illegal bathroom server. It hardly gets any more sensitive than documentation of an international conspiracy to fake a gigantic war.

This also could not have come at a worse time for Jeb Bush, who is in the process of attempting to defend Brother George for having launched this insane war, saying it “kept America safe.”

Here are the documents themselves, for the record.

USA Today
August 25, 2013

Former secretary of State Colin Powell called the jury verdict that cleared the killer of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin “questionable” and urged President Obama to speak more on issues of race

The first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said on CBS’s Face the Nation that the Martin verdict soon would be forgotten but said Obama — and all presidents — have a responsibility to discuss the nation’s history of racial injustice. Powell spoke as Washington marked the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s march that included the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.
