It’s no secret that Hillary Clinton has been bought and paid for by Wall Street and multinational corporations – in other words ALL the types of bloated rich pigs that Democrats pretend to oppose. Plenty of attention has also been paid to how many nations with homophobic and/ or misogynistic governments ALSO own Hillary.
Here’s a look at just a FEW of those nations and how much of Hillary they’ve purchased already … or at least how much is KNOWN at this point, barring more info from Wikileaks. No WONDER Hillary has vowed to bring in literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS more un-vetted Muslims. She owes big favors to her paymasters. As BERNIE SANDERS said.
SAUDI ARABIA – These co-funders of the Islamic State (which Democrat Nancy Pelosi agrees was spawned by Barack Obama’s premature withdrawal from Iraq) funneled at least FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to Hillary. That’s a lowball since the Saudis have bragged about financing 20 percent of Hillary’s campaign.
BAHRAIN – This Muslim country bought THIRTY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS’ worth of Hillary Clinton. I’m guessing they want the parts of her that don’t cough constantly.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – This Muslim nation kicked in at least ELEVEN AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. Gee, do you think these Muslim countries expect any favors back for all this money? No wonder Hillary never calls out these countries for not taking in any of the world’s Muslim “refugees.”
KUWAIT – Approximately TEN MILLION DOLLARS worth of favors were bought by this Muslim nation which, like Saudi Arabia, often lay behind recent WARS (Blood for oil, anyone?) which the Bush-Clinton Axis of Privilege led the U.S. into.
QATAR – To date FIVE POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS has come from this Muslim nation. Will any of this influence Hillary’s decisions if she’s president? Her mindless, unquestioning supporters say “Naaaah.” Continue reading
Balladeer’s Blog’s month-long celebration of Halloween continues with this look at some of the films from one of the most envelope-pushing horror directors of all time: Germany’s “auteur of the transgressive,” Jorg Buttgereit. 
The Minnesota Vikings are the only unbeaten team in the NFL, and it is the sort of unexpected surprise that keeps the NFL interesting. No matter how you choose to interpret the 
A THOUSAND DEATHS (1899) – This story was the first published work by Jack London and it definitely shows, but it still has certain merits. The protagonist – who is never named – is the scion of a wealthy British family. Feeling stifled by his rigid upbringing he ran off in his teens to roam the world. He’s fallen into various shady professions over the years and now at age 30 he’s begun having regrets. 
He seems to feel himself going under but then wakes up after an indeterminate time on board a luxurious yacht. The man has various tubes and wires connected to his body and soon learns that he has been saved from drowning by the crew of … his estranged father. That father (who also goes unnamed – it’s early Jack London all right) fails to recognize his son because of the changes the younger man’s rough life has inflicted on him. 
In recent years Halloween has become just as much about superhero cosplay as about horror, so here’s a masked crime-fighter who combines elements of both. Will Eisner’s superhero the Spirit – who debuted in 1940 – rose from the grave of his secret identity Denny Colt. 
The art and narrative innovations that Eisner introduced in his Spirit stories cannot be overstated.
Like other adults here in the U.S. my own views are a mix of “liberal” and “conservative” attitudes. That’s why the rest of us find Liberals and Conservatives (with capitalized L’s and C’s) to be so outdated and laughably partisan. Here’s a list of some of the reasons we despise American Liberals and American Conservatives equally: 
THE DEAD DANCE BY MOONLIGHT – Manetti the mad violinist terrorized the New England states in the late 1700s. His favorite instrument was made out of enchanted wood from the forests of the infamous White Mountains. When Manetti chose to he could play his violin in such a way as to bring the dead up from their graves and make them do his bidding. FOR THE FULL STORY CLICK 
THE MARQUETTE MONSTER – This horrific monster was sighted by Jacques Marquette in the 1670s near what is now Alton, IL. Native Americans of the region called it the Piasa Bird and had been making artwork depicting the beast since around 1200 AD according to archaeological findings. The creature was supposedly the size of a horse with the torso of a cougar, huge wings like a bat and a human head sprouting deer antlers. FOR THE FULL STORY CLICK
