For us Libertarians, it's kind of like watching one of those horror movie scenes where the soon-to-be-victims can clearly see the shambling monster(s) approaching but just can't seem to get their act together, and you're gripping the arms of your chair and mentally screaming, "Run you fools!"</div><div><img height="214" width="320" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="e2a8a463-18ae-44e6-aa3b-5e76f3253431" src="cid:C2CD4764-5831-427C-AA7D-CE4343A8C13D@hsd1.ca.comcast.net."></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The website WikiLeaks just keeps proving the value and importance of its new model of journalism. Below is a list of some recent material released by the website associated with international dissident Julian Assange from the hacked email account of John Podesta (Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign chair and former chief of staff to president Bill Clinton), courtesy of <b><a href="http://www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com/new-leaks">http://www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com/new-leaks</a></b> – perhaps a good site to visit regularly if you'd like to see some of the "most damaging" email leaks for yourself without the filtering of other media or the formidable task of wading through a ton of other WikiLeaks material. Some of the material seems relatively important/incriminating, other items not so much, but it's all interesting reading... and these are just the highlights of two days worth of leaks! No doubt there's much more there to be mined. <div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My favorite here is the Clinton quote about how they shouldn't have pushed for Palestinian elections without making an effort to shape their outcome. Both this and the item about Turkish donations are ironically noteworthy, given Clinton's focus in the debates about alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election to benefit Donald Trump. And the revelation of an illegal joint Clinton/DNC account seems like it's begging for a lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee by Bernie Sanders, or maybe by his supporters if he lacks the will.</div><div><div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>To balance out the material on Clinton, I'll also share a nice compendium of Trump's "greatest hits" by David A. Graham in The Atlantic. "The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet" runs the gamut from dishonest business dealings to the well-known abhorrent treatment of women, to bribery, stiffing workers on their paychecks, and more – <b><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/donald-trump-scandals/474726/">http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/donald-trump-scandals/474726/</a> </b>I've copied a few of them below in between the Oct. 28 and Oct. 29 WikiLeaks material. But there were evidently too many skeletons in the closet of the man who's arguably the most temperamentally unfit candidate to ever be a serious contender for U.S. president, for even an experienced reporter to sort through all the bones, as Graham says nothing about Paul Manafort. In any normal year, this would be a pretty stunning omission. If you don't know who Manafort is, that's interesting reading too. His history dovetails very neatly with the complimentary things that the protofascist Trump has had to say about other countries' dictators:</div><div><br></div><div><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Manafort">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Manafort</a></b></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>But speaking of skeletons, I would of course be remiss myself not to mention the very literal skeletons that are rumored to abound in the Clintons' boudoir, some more credibly than others, but in a disturbingly high totality:</div><div><br></div><div><b><a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/body-count/clinton-casualties/">http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/body-count/clinton-casualties/</a></b></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The latest five suspicious deaths have accumulated in just the past few weeks:</div><div><br></div><div><b><a href="http://www.anonews.co/clinton-body-count/">http://www.anonews.co/clinton-body-count/</a></b></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>If you've ever asked yourself – and in light of what Trump has said <i>on the record</i> about women, you really should – "Do I <i><b>really</b></i> believe <i><b>all</b></i> those women accusing him of assault and rape are just making it up?", then you should ask yourself a similar question about the Clinton Body Count: "Do I <b><i>really</i></b> believe <i><b>all</b></i> those individuals close to the Clintons died coincidentally?" </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I was going to try to count them up and determine whether the sexual assault cases outnumber the skeletons or vice-versa, but decided it sounded like too much work. So, no matter which candidate your friends detest more, you can feel comfortable forwarding them this email for Halloween, since there's something here to scare or revolt everyone. }:-P</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In all seriousness, Clinton and Trump really are the worst duopoly candidates in memory, bar none. Everything one can say about the nauseating quality of the 2-party cartel's offerings in the 2016 U.S. presidential election feels like an understatement. Once again, "The Simpsons" comes disturbingly close to real life:</div><div><br></div><div><img height="240" width="320" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="7fe3e768-db7a-40ee-a9c0-af5cfb318502" src="cid:9AC43D5D-7C42-4E1D-B017-743C8C5B2E37@hsd1.ca.comcast.net."></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Meanwhile, the establishment media continue to pretend in most of their coverage that the non-cartel alternatives, most notably Gary Johnson – <b><a href="http://www.JohnsonWeld2016.com">http://www.JohnsonWeld2016.com</a></b> – don't exist. That they ignore a pair of respected, two-term former governors is proof that being too radical isn't what's been holding the Libertarian Party back – it's the fact that the part of the system that isn't rigged, is thoroughly, fundamentally broken. But there's always the possibility of fixing it, if enough people step out of line. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Not only by voting for the libertarian alternative – that's just part of the picture. Engaging in as much activism as you can and as much civil disobedience as you dare the rest of the year is more important. But voting Nov. 8th is a good start. It costs nothing, and they don't dare tax it (yet). If you haven't studied all the candidates and issues, don't stress too much – most other voters haven't either, any more than most legislators read all the legislation they vote on. Just keep in mind these <b>two simple rules of voting</b>:</div><div><br></div><div><b>1) If you're unsure which candidate to choose, vote against the incumbent or the one(s) you've heard of. </b>The reason their names are familiar is usually because they've got the special interest money and/or establishment political connections to get exposure.</div><div><br></div><div><b>2) If you're unsure about a ballot measure, just vote no.</b> As with food labels, if the description of the contents is too long and complicated, it probably isn't healthy!</div><div><br></div><div>Love & Liberty,</div><div> ((( starchild )))</div><div><br></div><div><i>"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."</i></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#3600fc">– Philip K.
