Bill Clinton hints at desire to see anti-government speech restricted

Political elites, especially among the liberals, are beginning to be quite worried about the White rage they see all around them. A good indication of the hysteria is that Joe Klein of TIME wants Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin indicted for inciting sedition, and John Heilemann of New York magazine adds Rush Limbaugh to the list.

Bill Clinton is doing his part. In an interview with CNN pundit and former AIPAC lobbyist Wolf Blitzer, Clinton was not shy about expressing his dislike of the Tea Parties, and he hinted at his desire for tougher speech restrictions. Referring to the Oklahoma City bombing, Blitzer said “the hatred that Timothy McVeigh … had … , there are plenty of people like that right now” — to which Clinton replied “lot’s of them.” Blitzer said that there were many websites advocating “hate” and Clinton replied with silly platitudes about how the Internet can be used to learn how to make a bomb. The former president added that “websites are easily accessible and you can be highly selective and spend all of your time with people that are, you know, kind of out there with you” (emphasis mine).

Clinton noted that the Tea Party debate had to be kept “within the limits that the framers [of the Constitution] intended.” These kinds of mantras are designed to appeal to the attachment of Americans to the Constitution, even though the country has evolved in ways that would have been unthinkable to the framers. Needless to say, Clinton couldn’t care less about the original framers of the Constitution.

He added that “beyond the law there is no freedom, we can’t have violence or the advocacy of violence and we got to be careful when we get close to that, particularly if we’re in positions of influence.” Translation: The nightmare of the current regime is that respected, intelligent, influential people would begin questioning the legitimacy of the government.

Clinton tries to conflate the Tea Party movement with the Oklahoma City bombing:

By and large in the last fifty years, well at least since the early 70s, […] by and large these [problems] have been systematically coming out of the far right. Again I think that all those folks have a place in our political debate, we just have to know where to draw the line, and we have enough threats against the president, enough threats against the Congress that we should be sensitive to it. The 15th anniversary of Oklahoma City, I’m not trying to draw a total parallel, I’m just saying that we should be aware of this.  This is a vast echo chamber this internet, [in which] some are serious, some are delirious, some are connected, some are unhinged.

He then worried about “what certain words might do to people who are less stable.”

Of course, we know full well that politically-motivated violence is overwhelmingly committed by the Left. Exhibit A is the cancellation of the recent American Renaissance conference due to heavy harassment by leftist fanatics, which included death threats and led to cancellations by four different hotels. As Jared Taylor lamented, the story received no coverage from the mainstream American media, and law enforcement yawned. Leftist and minority activists are never prevented from meeting by conservatives.

In another interview with the New York Times, Clinton referred to Rep. Michele Bachmann who called the Obama administration “the gangster government” at a Tea Party rally. He said: “They are not gangsters, they were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.”

“There can be real consequences when what you say animates people who do things you would never do,” Mr. Clinton said in an interview, saying that Timothy McVeigh, who carried out the Oklahoma City bombing, and those who assisted him, “were profoundly alienated, disconnected people who bought into this militant antigovernment line.”

“Have at it,” he said. “You can attack the politics. Criticize their policies. Don’t demonize them, and don’t say things that will encourage violent opposition.”

Clinton and the rest of the liberal elites who control the media want business as usual:  polite political debate and wait for the next election. But for many of the tea partiers it’s beyond all that. They feel themselves abused and dispossessed. There is a desperation and intensity in the air.

This is an administration that crammed health care down the nation’s throat despite majority opposition. It is now poised to once again flout the majority by making citizens of the millions of non-White illegal immigrants and their relatives. In a situation like this, is it any wonder that people are questioning its legitimacy? Gangsters indeed!

Clinton is carefully and implicitly voicing his support for the banning of certain forms of speech that he sees as threatening the legitimacy of the ruling regime. Of course he feels personally threatened by the recent outbursts of rage coming from a large segment of the population. He knows he has contributed greatly to transforming the country and alienating them. He is a sought-after speaker — paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per speech and drawing thousands who buy their hundred-dollar tickets to see him deliver one platitude after another. The media paints him as a brilliant, warm-hearted guy who was a good and fair president. He obviously has a lot to lose in any movement that strongly criticizes a ruling regime that lavishes money and glory upon him. He is clever in dropping here and there a catch phrase like “you can attack the politics, criticize their policies [but] don’t demonize them, and don’t say things that will encourage violent opposition.”

The reason he carefully weighs his views is that he knows a majority of Americans are still deeply attached to the First Amendment and opposing it too directly and without nuances would be ill-perceived by many. Between the lines, he is advocating eventual hate speech legislation and considerable extension of government powers to muzzle people who challenge them.

    “The media paints [Clinton] as a brilliant, warm-hearted guy who was a good and fair president.”

    Back in 1992, I couldnt believe Clinton was elected. I was further horrified at the Lewinsky affair, and shocked that he wasnt thrown out. By 1998, I was convinced he was one of the worst presidents of all time, a disgusting cretin. Then came Bush, who I enthusiastically supported for years, until I was awakened to the dispossession of Whites. Now, looking back, and I never thought I would say this, in comparison lecherous Bill wasnt so bad after all, especially in comparison to free-spending, pro-Zionist George or budget-busting, socialist Barack. Barack certainly seems like a major stinker right now. Unfortunately, I strongly suspect that in 18 years, I will look back and think Barack wasnt so bad after all, in comparison to whatever bum we will have in 2028.

    Czarist Russia was rife with terrorist attacks against elites, even though it had one of the most repressive regimes of all time, with regard to freedom of speech. Take the assasination of Alexander II for example. I don’t think there is any correlation between freedom of speech and political violence. Rather the reverse, in all probability.

    You can bet whatever speech restriction comes, denying the holocaust will somehow be worked in.

    Conversely, pornography- never intended to be ‘speech’ as framed by the constitution – is allowed ever increasing lee-way . And a (what a surprise!) jewish pyschologist pushed for lowering the legal adult sex limit.

    This is jewish paradise- christmas trees and crosses banned from the public square, dissent and criticism of the holocuast illegal, mocking christianity is literally a funded art form….

    That’s true. I believe the driving force behind all “hate speech” laws is preventing holocaust revisionism. Just think–there was never any notion of “hate speech” before WW2.

    It’s kinda funny that Clinton of all people would question why people are losing faith in government. After all, it was Clinton who was having some sort of sex with a well endowed dual citizenship Israeli in the Oval Office of the White House. LOL. What a poser…

    Counterfeiters Look For Exit Strategy As US Dollar Collapses
    (Apollonian, 21 Apr 10)

    These are last days of ZOG-Mammon as US Dollar evermore collapses, the imminent end of “reserve currency” status only months away–THEN people here in USA will know real meaning of suffering, poor creatures. Good thing states are beginning to get around to declaring sovereignty, etc., in accord w. 10th Amendment.

    Think of the absurdity of it: Obama/Soetoro will presumably want to run for re-election, right?–yet, at same time, he spends (over) a million dollars, so far, keeping his records “private.”

    So u see, large Mammon Empire founded upon COUNTERFEIT scam wants to arrange a sort of “Gotterdammerung” whence (a) topmost masterminds are allowed to escape to some safe place, and (b) everything else is submerged in horrific warfare whence most of world population is destroyed. Jew-friendly (unfortunately) Alex Jones (InfoWars.com) does good journalistic work keeping up w. these latest developments.

    Meantime the volk merely need Christian cultural integration, in accord w. Aristotelian objectivity, I submit, as of St. Constantine the Great, as remember a strictly intellectualist grasp is only practical for small part of pop.

    CONCLUSION: And the task then (and now) is essentially in neutralizing the foremost ENABLERS of Jews, the “Judeo-Christian” (JC–see Whtt.org and TruthTellers.org for expo/ref.) hereticalists who preach Christ was Jew (Talmudist). Once JCs are removed, dealing w. Jew masterminds will be easy. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

    Reading this reminded me of a time back in the 1990s (before we had a computer) when my brother and I would get together Saturday evenings and listen to Dr. Pierce’s American Dissident Voices broadcasts on the short-wave. At the time I imagined what it must have been like to listen to jammed radio broadcasts in Eastern Europe during the Cold War era. (Although I didn’t then realize just how Jewish the Communist system was.)

    Anyway, Dr. Pierce used to refer to Clinton as “an unspeakable piece of filth.” Truer words have never been spoken. But the problem is how do we deal with White race traitors like Clinton (and the abonimable President of Princeton University who was the subject of a recent article on this website)? These specimens seem too intelligent not to understand that they are simply cynically doing the bidding of their Jewish paymasters. I wish I could be convinced, like Alex Kurtagic, that we could create a parallel structure of incentives and rewards that would pick off such people and steer them in more enlightened directions.

    “I wish I could be convinced, like Alex Kurtagic, that we could create a parallel structure of incentives and rewards that would pick off such people and steer them in more enlightened directions.”

    One of the reasons why that will never happen outside the world of fiction is that all “revolutions” are led by small but dedicated elites of vanguards. The general public bides its time and will never invest in any long-term “revolutionary” projects, including an alternative, “Rightist” sub-economy.

    “A good indication of the hysteria is that Joe Klein of TIME wants Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin indicted for inciting sedition, and John Heilemann of New York magazine adds Rush Limbaugh to the list.”

    These Bushcons who got into bed with the neocons and Zionists and grew government more than any administration since LBJ under the pretext of a “War on Terror” during the Bush II years are part of the problem.

    The establishment-Right, Statist and Zionist to the core, is nearly as antithetical to the Tea Partiers and the Freedom Movement as is the statist Left.

    For example, here’s establishment-Right Statist “conservative” Kathleen Parker declaring that anonymous internet journalism is “sort of like terrorism” in the context of talking about the Tea Partiers.

    http://www.libertariantoday.com/2010/04/in-context-of-tea-partiers.html

    This just goes to show that the establishment-Right Statists simply can’t be trusted to protect the U.S. Constitution, American sovereignty, the American economy (from leviathan Washington and its bankster cronies) or American freedom overall. They apparently view American defenders of all of these to be “terrorists.”…

    Ha i thought i was the only one – yes, I thought Clinton was the worst president since Johnson – until Bush came along… in many ways he dwarfed Clinton’s errr. .. “accomplishments’.

    All the while conservative christians were supporting simply because he played himself off as one of them. Did he do… anything…remotely ‘conservative’?

    Bill Clinton’s daughter Chelsea recently got engaged to Marc Mezvinsky (Jew). So Bill Clinton will soon have Jewish in-laws.

    Marc’s father, Edward Mezvinsky (Jew), is a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa who is a convicted white-collar criminal that spent years in jail as a financial felon:

    “Mezvinsky was also involved in a series of business transactions that ultimately became his downfall. Prosecutors later would call him a one-man crime wave. In 2000, after examining his business deals since 1980, prosecutors said that they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every one.

    In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Mezvinsky

    Birds of a feather, you know…

    And for a long while Chelsea Clinton worked for a hedge fund in NYC called Avenue Capital Group run by a billionaire Moroccan Jew named Marc Lasry — maybe she still does?

    Hmmmm…hedge fund…New York City…billionaire Jew Marc Lasry….hmmmm….

    Rabbi Boteach says:

    “The Jewish community better get serious about the cancer that’s growing inside it. The devastation on Wall Street carries a lot of Jewish names, from firms like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers to individuals such as Bernard Madoff, whose $50 billion Ponzi scheme collapsed over the weekend, and lawyer Marc Dreier, arrested last week for defrauding investors of hundreds of millions of dollars. On the Internet more and more people who don’t like us are beginning to connect the dots, pointing out that there are an awful lot of Jews who bear responsibility for Wall Street’s fall.” – http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=124632

    Earlier today another major Jewish Ponzi schemer was busted, one of dozens busted so far since the start of the economic crisis:

    “The fraud spotlight is again on South Florida, where Nevin K. Shapiro was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with allegedly orchestrating a $900 million Ponzi scheme.” – http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/the-business-blotter/2010/04/21/shapiro-charged-in-900-million-ponzi-scheme

    ben tillman said: “Let’s not forget that the central government and $PLC worked with McVeigh to set it up.”

    I’ve never believed the official story of OKC (or 9-11 for that matter). If you’ll recall, about a day or two after the OKC bombing, the Feds piously announced they were razing the remains of the crime scene so that “the healing could begin.” Total bullshit. Obviously they didn’t want a proper independent forensic investigation. They pulled the same trick after 9-11.

    As to OKC, it is simply not credible that a single low-yield AMFO truck bomb, detonated outside (i.e., not in a confined space so as to amplify the explosive force), could have reduced a hardened concrete building to rubble. I forget who said this (might have been a guy named Tom Valentine who used to broadcast on short-wave), but I think McVeigh was an Oswaldian patsy.

    And I’ll never forget the jubilation in the voice of the CBS radio announcer who read the news the day the court announced McVeigh’s death sentence. The announcer practically had an orgasm he was so elated. Contrast that with the pious intonations whenever the MSM mentions the death penalty and their pet minorities.

    I’ve seen a local newscast from the day of the explosion (I hope I still have a copy), and the newsreader reports matter-of-factly that undetonated explosives were found in the remains of the building.

    I couldn’t have said it better Mr. William Davis. You know it, I know it, TOO readers know it: the liberal elite see traditional Constitutional White Americans as the new Al Qaeda. As much as I hate the Spanish language, they can call us “El Blanco” and the name will probably be relevant considering Mexicans see us as the enemy anyway. It is even more than likely that the military will target them for enlistment. I think they already do.

    “They are not gangsters, they were elected.”

    Bill Clinton is such a vile propagandist.

    American “elections” are staged festivals put on by Madison Avenue. The hand-selected candidates are marketed to the public like they’re dish soap. All these “elections” do is celebrate the power of the “American” ruling class.

    What many people have yet to realize that ant-government and anti-non-white speech are going to become one and the same. It’s already to the point that when white speak out against the government, they are speaking out against the non-whites ruling over them by hook, crook or outright terrorism. When we can no longer air our messages, or grievances peacefully and legitimately, then we will resort to violence and non-whites are mistaken if they think we are like sheep. When backed into a corner, some whites turn into dragons like the Vlad Dracula. Bill Clinton is yet another anti-white ZOG Quisling, a traitor in our midst. I curse the day he was born, every day. This will only result in a civil war here that will kill more people that died in Russia during WW-II, and for what? Some non-whites’ over developed egomania?
