Hoisted By Their Own Petard: The MSM’s Treasonous Ambush Blows Up In Their Faces
The MSM’s Treasonous Ambush Blows Up In Their Faces
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
“No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

Treason is the operative word as we discovery that the MSM has been caught flat-footed, planning and carrying out the subversion of the 2016 Presidential Elections and is in full violation of our U.S. Constitution.
Summary: Public trust in the mainstream media has sunk to new lows during the 2016 Presidential Primaries and Election process. The MSM has unwisely stepped into the public light too many times in 2016 to reveal not only their bias, but the fact that while they pretend to be the cornerstone of the American free press, instead, they are the psychological warfare weapon of the “globalists,” who are America’s most deadly foreign and domestic enemy.

This posting is a classic case of connecting the dots by using our critical thinking:
Dot #1: The scheduled Presidential Debate of Monday night, September 26th, 2016. The participants were Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Dot #2: Alicia Machado:
From Wikipedia: “Machado won the 1995 Miss Venezuela pageant entering Yaracuy and then the Miss Universe 1996 crown in Las Vegas. The runner-up, Jacqueline Aguilera, also won the Miss World 1995 crown, marking the second time that two Venezuelans from the same pageant won two world titles. Machado’s reign came as American businessman Donald Trump took ownership of the Miss Universe pageant. During her reign as Miss Universe, Machado made headlines when it was reported that she gained too much weight and the Miss Universe Organization was considering replacing her with her runner-up, Taryn Mansell of Aruba. After winning the Miss Universe title in 1996, Machado announced that all she wanted to do was “eat, eat and eat”.[1] Machado retained her title. Trump called her “an eating machine”, generating controversy.”

Dot #3: The Trap Was Sprung By Hillary Clinton in the Final Moments of the First Presidential Debate in Coordination With NBC Moderator, Lester Holt
CLINTON: Well, one thing. One thing, Lester.
HOLT: Very quickly, because we’re at the final question now.
CLINTON: You know, he tried to switch from looks to stamina. But this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs, and someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers, who has said…
TRUMP: I never said that.
CLINTON: …. women don’t deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men.
TRUMP: I didn’t say that.
CLINTON: And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest. He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman “Miss Piggy.” Then he called her “Miss Housekeeping,” because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.
TRUMP: Where did you find this? Where did you find this?
CLINTON: Her name is Alicia Machado.
TRUMP: Where did you find this?
CLINTON: And she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet…
TRUMP: Oh, really? CLINTON: … she’s going to vote this November.
TRUMP: OK, good. Let me just tell you…
(APPLAUSE)
HOLT: Mr. Trump, could we just take 10 seconds and then we ask the final question…
TRUMP: You know, Hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials. Some of it’s said in entertainment. Some of it’s said — somebody who’s been very vicious to me, Rosie O’Donnell, I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.
But you want to know the truth? I was going to say something…
HOLT: Please very quickly.
TRUMP: … extremely rough to Hillary, to her family, and I said to myself, “I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. It’s inappropriate. It’s not nice.” But she spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads on me, many of which are absolutely untrue. They’re untrue. And they’re misrepresentations.
And I will tell you this, Lester: It’s not nice. And I don’t deserve that.
But it’s certainly not a nice thing that she’s done. It’s hundreds of millions of ads. And the only gratifying thing is, I saw the polls come in today, and with all of that money…
HOLT: We have to move on to the final question.
TRUMP: … $200 million is spent, and I’m either winning or tied, and I’ve spent practically nothing.

Dot #4: The Washington Post, a core member of the MSM, Lets the Cat Out of the Bag
The Daily 202: Trump stumbles into Clinton’s trap by feuding with Latina beauty queen
With Breanne Deppisch
THE BIG IDEA: It might be Hillary Clinton’s most cunning move since the start of the general election. The Democratic nominee set a trap for Donald Trump in the final minutes of the first debate, and he walked right into it.
The GOP nominee’s decision to take the bait and rehash his past attacks of a former Miss Universe for gaining too much weight is now dominating the conversation. And the controversy is helping the Clinton campaign galvanize Latinos and prevent undecided women from moving toward Trump.
Even as Trump proclaimed victory in New York, he allowed during a Fox News interview yesterday that he let himself get a little too irritated “at the end, maybe” when Clinton brought up Alicia Machado. Machado alleges that Trump called her names such as “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” when she gained weight after winning the Miss Universe crown in 1996.
Trump could have brushed off the question and moved on the next morning, but instead he engaged. “She was the worst we ever had. The worst. The absolute worst. She was impossible,” Trump said of Machado on Fox. “She was the winner, and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem. We had a real problem.”
— Operatives in Brooklyn had been working with Machado since the summer. They had a video featuring her story ready to go. Cosmopolitan had a photo spread of her draped in an American flag – to go with a profile – in the can. Machado had also conducted an interview with The Guardian that was “apparently embargoed for post-debate release,” according to Vox. And the Clinton super PAC Priorities USA turned a digital ad to highlight the insults by early afternoon.
The Clinton press shop then set up a conference call for Machado to respond to what Trump said on “Fox and Friends.” Speaking with reporters, Machado recounted how Trump “always treated me like a lesser thing, like garbage” and that his new words are like “a bad dream.” She said in a mix of Spanish and halting English that she watched the debate with her mother and daughter and cried as Clinton recounted her story, Ed O’Keefe reports.
Campaign calls like these are usually gimmicky ploys that get little attention, but this one played prominently in every news organization’s second-day coverage about the debate. Megyn Kelly, against whom Trump leveled gendered attacks against last year after she moderated a debate, then interviewed Machado in primetime on Fox News last night.
— Opposition researchers also gleefully pushed Trump quotes about her from the 1990s. Here are two examples (more are in the social media speed read):
- In 1997, Donald told Howard Stern that Machado was an “eating machine” who “ate a lot of everything.” “You whipped this fat slob into shape,” the radio host told Trump. “I don’t know how you did it. I see all these diet plans, everything else. God bless you.” When asked if Trump had “gotten her down to 118,” he said she is going to be there soon. (Via Buzzfeed)
- Around the same time, Trump told Newsweek: “We’ve tried diet, spa, a trainer, incentives. Forget it, the way she’s going, she’d eat the whole gymnasium.”
— “Morning Joe” extensively covered the spat today. Joe Scarborough said “this was all people were talking about” at his daughter’s parents night. Mike Barnicle said when he was picking up a prescription at the Duane Reade drugstore, the woman behind the counter – unprompted – referenced the “Miss Piggy” controversy. “She is furious, behind the counter, she’s furious,” he recalled. “Of all the things he’s done in this campaign, this is the one that could linger,” Mark Halperin chimed him. “The Clinton campaign cannot believe he’s giving them the political opportunity…This is exactly what they would want to happen…They couldn’t script it any better!” Barnicle agreed: “The Miss Housekeeping phrase is just as lethal to Donald Trump as Miss Piggy.” NBC’s “Today” show did their own segment this morning too.
— New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait predicts Trump’s criticism of Machado will have the same staying power as his attacks on Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention: “What truly made the set piece work was Trump’s response, which Clinton could not have scripted better if she tried. Unlike the previous allegations, he did not deny them, but instead burst out — three times! — ‘Where did you find this?’ I have seen villains in Disney movies presented with damning evidence react this way, but I have never seen an actual human being do it, until now.”
— Importantly, this story has also broken through across non-traditional outlets:
It was the second story on Telemundo’s evening newscast and the third story on Univision’s.
“Donald Trump Continues to Body Shame the Former Miss Universe He Called ‘Miss Piggy’” is the headline on People Magazine’s home page.
“Alicia Machado Opens Up About Trump’s Treatment of Her: ‘He’s Not a Good Person,’” is the headline in The Hollywood Reporter.
The Palm Beach Post, in the heart of a key swing state, has a listicle in today’s edition: “Alicia Machado: 5 things to know about Trump’s latest target.”
— The gender dynamic is perhaps the most dominant theme in the mainstream media’s post-debate commentary:
“Trump’s interruptions of Clinton are familiar to women” is the headline on the front page of the Boston Globe. Their story, about HRC getting interrupted 51 times during the debate, quotes women in a range of professions talking about how they’ve experienced the same thing.
“Last night’s debate, or the mansplaining Olympics” by Alexandra Petri is the most read story on the opinion section of The Post’s web site.
“Although she would never talk about it in the way that Trump discusses the victimization of being audited, Clinton carries the ever-expanding knowledge of what it’s like to be dismissed, disrespected, and treated unfairly,” Jia Tolentino writes in The New Yorker. “This is precisely why she was so calm and steely last night—so Presidential. It’s why she can express genuine solidarity with people like Alicia Machado, people whom Trump can barely see.”
“When I watch, I sometimes feel like Ingrid Bergman — not European and glamorous, but unnerved, as though I’m being gaslit,” said New York Times Magazine staff writer Susan Dominus. “Trump tries to gaslight an entire country when he plays fast and loose with the truth or insists on logic-defying connections — each of which is an apt tactic for someone who often questions the mental health of women who dare to criticize him. If they are women with big careers … they are ‘neurotic.’ He called the Rev. Faith Green Timmons, a pastor who calmly and boldly interrupted him at her church in Flint, Mich., ‘nervous,’ which is apparently the black woman’s (or middle-class woman’s) version of neurotic. These women are not just wrong to Trump; they are suffering from a kind of mental or medical condition. Women, he clearly believes, or wants us to believe, are emotional, guided by feelings rather than reason, which presumably makes them unfit to lead (or unfit to give Trump a hard time).”
“The idea that we should trust men who hate us in private to protect us in the public sphere is the ultimate insult to our intelligence,” adds Post blogger Alyssa Rosenberg.

— Alicia Machado (@machadooficial) September 27, 2016
— This feud helps Clinton with two crucial constituencies:
— Galvanizing Latinos: Beauty pageants are as big as the Super Bowl is for us in Latin America, and it was no coincidence that Machado emerged as a surrogate on National Voter Registration Day. The campaign is working to encourage Latinos and other less-engaged groups who dislike Trump to get on the rolls. “This was about consolidation,” Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg told Greg Sargent. “One of the big things (that has been) holding her back was the failure to consolidate Democrats.”
James Downie, who watched a dial group of 100 likely voters during the debate, elaborates: “After the debate, though there was only a small shift in the group toward Clinton, they had a much more favorable view toward her, and a number of voters who had come in as ‘weak’ Clinton supporters left as ‘strong’ Clinton supporters.”
— Expanding the gender gap. Around this time four years ago, Mitt Romney was running ads in Northern Virginia to reassure women that he was not as anti-abortion as the Obama campaign was making him out to be. A female narrator noted that the former Massachusetts governor supports contraception and is okay with abortions in the case of rape, incest and life of the mother. Trump, who said at one point this year that women who get abortions should be punished, has made no concerted or direct effort to improve his standing with women.
The New York Times interviewed women in Pennsylvania’s Chester County (a suburban area where Romney beat President Obama in 2012 by less than 1 point) about the debate. Trip Gabriel reports that several dozen of the women he spoke with consistently said Trump had failed to win them over, and in several cases they said he had repelled them. His lead illustration is Nancy Groux, an undecided Republican who hungers for change in Washington. “I truly want to like him,” she said. “I keep looking for something in him. But I can’t have my children grow up and look at him as someone to respect.”
Making matters worse, Trump surrogates keep going out of their way to give Clinton more fodder for women’s outreach. “After being married to Bill Clinton for 20 years, if you didn’t know the moment Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her that she was telling the truth, then you’re too stupid to be president,” Rudy Giuliani told reporters at Hofstra University.
When in 2012 Rush Limbaugh called law school student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” for testifying before Congress that employers should cover birth control for women, Romney had a press avail to say that he disagreed and that those were not the words he would have used. Yesterday, reacting to the debate, Limbaugh said on his radio show: “Hillary came off exactly as many people see her: a witch with a capital B.” I’d bet you $10 that Trump will not denounce this offensive comment if asked about it today.
— Ratings: Monday’s debate was the most-watched ever, with 84 million viewers tuning in to see it live. That broke a record set by Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980. No debate since then had exceeded 70 million viewers. For context, twice as many watched Monday as watched Bill Clinton debate Bob Dole in 1996. Experts predicted there would be a big dip in viewers after the first half hour, but what’s most striking about the overnight numbers was that most stayed with it for the full 90 minutes. That means they saw the final half hour, when the Machado exchange happened. (AP)
— Establishment Republicans once again, privately, are slamming their heads against the wall because of their standard bearer’s embarrassing lack of self-discipline. In the Capitol, many GOP leaders tried to avoid discussing the debate and its aftermath with reporters:
- Paul Ryan: “I was working out and working this morning, I didn’t watch. I wasn’t watching Fox News this morning. So I’m not going to comment on something I didn’t see.”
- Marco Rubio: “I didn’t see (the debate), guys. I was on an airplane.”
- Mitch McConnell offered just nine words during an afternoon news conference before moving on: “On the debate, I thought he did just fine.”
- Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) waved off a reporter who approached him about the debate as an aide curtly said, “We’re not talking about that,” according to the Globe.
- John McCain would only say that he thought it was “very interesting” as he hurried toward an elevator.
And this from Lindsey Graham:
Me: “Sen. What did you think of the debate last night?”
Lindsey Graham: “No, no no. I’m not going to talk about it. Go away. Go away. Bye.”
— Laura Barron-Lopez (@lbarronlopez) September 27, 2016
— Bottom line: One reason the debate was so painful for GOP elites who have accommodated Trump is that it offered another proof point that he cannot change. “Republicans learned again during the first presidential debate that no matter the setting, no matter the stakes, no matter the expectations, Donald Trump will insist on being Donald Trump,” Dan Balz explains. “He will rise or fall politically as himself — brash, unpredictable, volatile and true to his own instincts.”
Former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson concurs: “Trump has made some political gains over the past few weeks through greater discipline — speeches from teleprompters, carefully selected media interviews, no news conferences, a Twitter account in the hands of others. But the candidate has internalized none of this. He might as well have sung ‘I Gotta Be Me’ as his opening statement in the debate. It was Trump unplugged and often unhinged.”
— The world reacts to other Trump claims from the debate:
- NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg defended the alliance, pushing back on Trump’s claims it isn’t focused enough on terrorism. “NATO has played a key role in the fight against terrorism for many, many years,” Stoltenberg said. He also rejected Trump’s claim that his criticism led the alliance’s move to create a new top intelligence official. (Wall Street Journal)
- Wall Street leaders denied that there is any evidence of a stock market “bubble” after Trump accused the Federal Reserve of playing politics and falsely manipulating interest rates to boost Obama. (CNBC)
- Tim Kaine said Trump’s five-year “birther” campaign dragged the country back to a time when black people were slaves: “At my church, and in my neighborhood, and friends in Richmond, it’s an insult and it’s a painful one,” the senator said in a radio interview. “You know the history, an American African in this country could not be a US citizen because of the ruling of the Dred Scott decision. … He’s got to be really pinned down on this question of why he did it, and did he really not know that this was painful to an awful lot of people.” (Buzzfeed)
- Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Trump does not believe global warming is man-made. “He believes that global warming is naturally occurring,” Conway said on CNN. “There are shifts naturally occurring.” Then, hours later, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said there is “no question” humans are a factor in climate change. “There’s no question that the activities that take place in this country and in countries around the world have some impact on the environment and some impact on climate,” he said on the same network. (Politico)
- The New York Police Department issued a statement saying that “stop and frisk” policing policies were not technically ruled to be unconstitutional. “A federal judge in New York did order remedies to ensure the NYPD applies the lawful policing tool constitutionally,” the department said. “Additionally, murders in New York City have NOT increased. In fact, as of yesterday, New York City has 16 fewer murders from this time last year, and, more importantly, the murder rate has decreased by 131 from this time in 2011, when stops were at their highest.” Trump’s comments were “multilayered fiction,” the New York Times concludes.

Commentary: This is not the American free press at work. This is a psychological warfare weapon laying down barrages of lies, deception, and intended confusion among the American public—-orchestrating a concealed international network of globalist-controlled media outlets that are working to subvert the 2016 Presidential Elections and violate our U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, this was the same network that conspired to subvert the 2016 Presidential Primaries that blocked Bernie Sanders’ advance and thereby violated our Constitution.

Exclusive
Hillary’s Nightmare: Beauty Queen In Clinton’s Trump Attack Linked To Attempted Murder Plot
Alicia Machado was accused of driving a gunman’s getaway car!
By Radar Staff
Hillary Clinton could regret recruiting former beauty queen Alicia Machado for her campaign: RadarOnline.com has learned that the one-time Miss Venezuela, who is now appearing in Clinton’s campaign ads, has a bloody secret past!
Venezuelan police claimed that in Nov. 1997, the beauty queen acted as her lover’s accomplice in a brutal murder attempt.
It all started when the sister of Machado’s boyfriend at the time, Juan RodriguezReggeti, committed suicide. Reggeti reportedly blamed his brother-in-law Francisco SbertMoukso for driving the woman to her death, and brooded over how to enact his revenge, authorities in Caracas said. Then, at his sister’s funeral, gunfire was unleashed and his brother-in-law was shot twice outside the El Cafetal church in Caracas.

The victim suffered brain damage after the bullets punctured his skull. The gunman made a high-speed escape and Machado was accused of driving the getaway car! “Our accusations against Alicia Machado are based on coinciding testimony from witnesses, who place her in the vehicle in which Juan Rodriguez fled the scene,” the victim’s lawyer said at the time.
Machado breezed into court to answer the shocking charges, and insisted, “There has been a gross exaggeration. The situation has caused me great sadness.” She claimed that people were taking advantage of her name to create publicity.
Her lawyer said that she had an alibi: As an aspiring actress, Machado was taping her first episode on a Venezuelan soap opera until late at night the day of the shooting. “Alicia Machado never was present at the scene of the crime, neither before nor after it occurred,” her attorney added. “It was simply a fight between members of two families and nothing more.”
PHOTOS: Revenge! Donald Trump Fighting Back Against Hillary Clinton’s Smear Campaign
Though she was exonerated, the claims sent shockwaves through the Miss Universe organization. At the same time, there was a growing problem with her weight.
Machado had packed on the pounds after winning her beauty title, and Trump demanded she get back in shape. Trump, who co-owned the pageant at the time with CBS, was so alarmed by her behavior that he called her “an eating machine,” and said, “Quite frankly, we’re happy to see her reign end.” He also reportedly called her “Miss Piggy,” a point Clinton harped on in the debate.
Machado was accused of gaining 70 pounds after winning the international beauty competition, but said in 1996, “I have gained only 6 pounds. And I only gained that much because, as Miss Universe, I’ve traveled all over the world and I’ve been eating all kinds of different foods that I’m not used to.” She added, “I’m only human and it’s only natural to expect that my weight would change a little bit.”

The 5-foot 7-inch stunner admitted she went on a crash diet and vomited up her food to stay thin during the 1996 pageant, winning the title at 116 pounds. But once the pressure was off, Machado let herself go and ate everything she craved, including pasta, chocolate and arepas, a buttery corn pancake made in Venezuela.
Machado was furious when Trump alerted the media to watch her sweat through her workout routines, calling it “bad taste.” And Trump replied that Machado “was a big disappointment as a representative of the pageant.”
Now Machado is trying to help Clinton reach the White House.

At Monday night’s presidential debate, Clinton slammed Trump for his treatment of women saying, “And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest,” referring to Machado. “He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.”
Trump appeared on Fox & Friends and gave context for scolding the teenage Miss Universe winner. “I know that person, she was a Miss Universe person and she was the worst we ever had — the worst, the absolute worst.” He added, “She was the winner and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem.”

Dot #7: What follows are members of the American free press rising up to carry out the traditional and time-honored role of honest investigative journalism and reporting it to the American public to rout out the corrupters of American principles and keep American institutions honest.
It is clear that the mainstream media are imposters and have no connection with the American free press. First, MSM investigative journalism is completely absent—-they did no homework during their long and disguised planning for the ambush, and second, they did the exact opposite of the American free press, namely the MSM engaged in lies, deception, distraction, and attempted confusion of the American public in order to subvert the Presidential Election.
Democrats and the media work together seamlessly to push the idea that innocent, random young women are victimized by mean old Republican men.
In February 2012, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing about how an Obamacare mandate would harm religious liberty. These religious liberty concerns have been upheld at the Supreme Court all the way down, but were dismissed as illegitimate by Democratic leaders and their many allies in the media.
Democrats on the committee wanted to have a Georgetown Law student testify in favor of forcing religious groups that provide student health plans to violate their consciences if they don’t sponsor abortifacients and birth control. She wasn’t seated, and Democrats walked out in dramatic protest, later holding an event to hear her speak about how evil her Catholic university was for not violating Catholic teaching.
Sandra Fluke became the centerpiece of the Democrats’ “War on Women” messaging that they pounded throughout the year.
The media completely ate it up, hook, line, and sinker. Within minutes, she was put on every major network and cable outlet. The
media ran with stories about how women weren’t allowed to testify at the hearing, even though two female college administrators — Dr. Allison Dabbs Garrett, the senior vice-president for academic affairs at Oklahoma Christian University, and Dr. Laura Champion, medical director of Calvin College Health Services — testified. The facts were no barrier to the headlines, which included CBS’ “Dems decry all-male House panel on WH contraception rule” and CNN’s “Angry lawmakers challenge lineup at hearing: ‘Where are the women?’”
A Lexis-Nexis search shows that the media ran too many stories in 2012 for the search to filter (more than 3,000) but a cursory search shows the Washington Post ran a whopping 139 stories on Sandra Fluke that year and CNN had 146 pieces dealing with Fluke. MSNBC (94), New York Times (63), Associated Press (49), NBC (23), Los Angeles Times (13), ABC (13), and CBS (11) also played their role in advancing this story.
The Fluke media blitz was managed by powerhouse public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker, and it continued throughout the year. The Washington Post‘s “health policy” reporter Sarah Kliff wrote more than 80 stories about her, the Komen foundation’s attempts to stop funding Planned Parenthood, and failed Senate candidate Todd Akin (and none on Philly abortionist and serial murderer Kermit Gosnell). Fluke’s media coverage far outweighed actual public interest in her, culminating with Time naming her a finalist for their “person of the year.”
One of the interesting things about the public relations blitz to make Sandra Fluke a household name in order to advance a key Democratic campaign theme was how everyone complying with the public relations blitz pretended it was organic. Very few journalists admitted they were running a story pre-packaged by the country’s most Democrat-aligned public relations firm, the firm that was also behind Planned Parenthood’s wildly successful destruction campaign against the Komen Foundation (as described here). Instead, they all pretended that a fresh-faced little law student just happened to find herself in the middle of a media maelstrom. The media’s talking points matched those of the Obama administration-staffed public relations firm down from start to finish.
An innocent, random young woman was victimized by mean old Republican men. Sound familiar? It should.
We’re in the middle of the exact same phenomenon with Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe Donald Trump allegedly called “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” This time, they’re even cutting out the public relations firm middle men.
Hillary Clinton made Machado the centerpiece of a line of attack against Donald Trump during Monday night’s debate:
CLINTON: And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest. He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.
CLINTON: Her name is Alicia Machado.
CLINTON: And she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet she’s going to vote this November.
Almost immediately media outlets ran fully researched front-page and top-of-the-newscast stories quarterbacking this major Hillary Clinton campaign theme to prominence. That means they were already ready to go, more or less. There was no daylight between actual Hillary Clinton campaign talking points and the stories that ran on front pages across the land. Here’s a typical example of media cooperation that neglects to note the means by which the campaign is accomplishing its goals:
.@HillaryClinton capitalizes on Trump fat-shaming former Miss Universe http://t.co/0P3SnSO4K5pic.twitter.com/B2GgS3xwhX
CBS News (@CBSNews) September 28, 2016
The backstory to this hugely important news story is provided by CNN in a 1997 report:
NEW YORK (CNN) — When Alicia Machado of Venezuela was named Miss Universe nine months ago, no one could accuse her of being the size of the universe. But as her universe expanded, so did she, putting on nearly 60 pounds.
Indeed, the reigning Miss Universe learned the hard way that an extra 15 or 20 pounds can gain you a ton of publicity. But now she’s determined to shed at least 15 pounds, though the loss of her Miss Universe crown is no longer an issue.
‘Some people when they have pressure eat too much. Like me. Like Alicia,’ said Donald Trump, the executive producer of the Miss Universe Pageant.
Since winning the crown, the former Miss Venezuela went from 118 pounds to — well — a number that kept growing like the size of the fish that got away.
There were calls to take away her crown but the pageant encouraged her instead to get her weight down. Trump’s supposedly horrific remarks were made in the context of a generally jovial atmosphere. CNN’s report ended with Trump telling a “rowdy pool of reporters” that “A lot of you folks have weight problems. I hate to tell you.”
She was Miss Universe. She put on “nearly 60 pounds,” according to CNN. Trump, who chaired the pageant or whatever, made many remarks about it. Some people think this is an issue of more relevance than, oh I don’t know, Hillary Clinton’s Syria policy. The rest just know it’s far easier and more entertaining to run the “War on Women” playbook that was so successful for the Democrats and their wholly controlled mainstream media establishment.
The New York Times‘ Michael Barbaro and Meghan Twohey published a breathless piece headlined “Shamed and Angry: Alicia Machado, a Miss Universe Mocked by Donald Trump.”
“Good Morning America” bought the Clinton spin hook, line and sinker. “Donald Trump hasn’t changed since fat-shaming me in 1996, Alicia Machado says.”
A check of Lexis-Nexis on Thursday morning, less than 72 hours after Clinton unveiled her campaign message, showed that CNN transcripts had 46 mentions of Machado, CNN.com another 27, and CNN Wire with another 23. The New York Times has already run 11 stories around Machado, the Associated Press as many as 17, the Los Angeles Times with five, the Washington Post with five, and more in the Chicago Tribune, NPR’s “All Things Considered,” the San Francisco Chronicle, the Arizona Republic, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Boston Globe, CBS News, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and even smaller papers such as the Tulare Advance-Register.
It was immediate and it was everywhere. That’s not a coincidence. That’s coordination.
The Intercept’s Lee Fang provided some helpful facts showing how the media and the Clinton campaign work together seamlessly to force narratives helpful to the Clinton campaign:
Lee Fang (@lhfang) September 28, 2016
It’s interesting that Frank Thorp V, the “Producer & Off-Air Reporter covering 2016 at @NBCNews” is fully aware that this story is being generated as a public relations campaign by the Clinton campaign, and is tweeting about it regularly:
Less Groupthink, Please
It’s certainly fine and good to use things candidates say as hooks for stories. But the media should do it evenly, and not by being beholden to whichever public relations firm has the most employees embedded, if you know what I mean, with members of the Clinton campaign.
Trump made reference to something in the debate related to temperament that I saw no stories built around.
TRUMP: Wait. The AFL-CIO the other day, behind the blue screen, I don’t know who you were talking to, Secretary Clinton, but you were totally out of control. I said, there’s a person with a temperament that’s got a problem.
He was referring to this clip of Hillary Clinton that he would like the media to pay attention to.
But when Clinton talks about Machado, and runs conference calls for the media with her, and sets up photo shoots with her, and whatnot, everyone just complies and forgets to mention they’re taking marching orders from the campaign.How else to explain how everyone chose the same angle as the Clinton campaign asked them to? Media outlets could have noted that they themselves were calling Machado a fatty-boombaladdy at the exact same time Trump made his remarks. They could have noted that beauty pageant winners are generally judged by their … how do you say it … BEAUTY. Or they could have chosen entirely different angles.
For example, Hillary Clinton’s kill shot was to say that Machado had become a U.S. citizen recently and would be voting for her. A less compliant media might have noted or emphasized that the Mexican attorney general’s office said Machado was romantically involved and had a daughter with a notorious drug lord, Jose Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, also known as “El Indio.” Or that a Venezuelan judge said Machado threatened “to ruin my career as a judge and … kill me,” after he indicted her then-boyfriend for murder. Or that the Associated Press reported allegations that she drove the getaway car, even though there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.
But these angles run counter to another media/Clinton campaign theme of discrediting the idea that immigrants to this country, under our current policies, are anything other than perfect people. (You may see a second version of it this week in how the media emphasize or downplay the immigration status, voting habits, and murder spree-ness, of this guy.)
Yes, CNN did ask Machado if she threatened to kill a judge. She replied, oddly, “What matters is my self-esteem.”
The media might have the same response to why they’re playing cabana boy to the Clinton campaign. They’re not interested in reporting the news so much as feeding their self-perception of righteousness. A journalistic establishment that was less entertainment, less pseudo-event, less undistilled public relations coup would serve us well right about now.
Clinton-loving ex Miss Universe Alicia Machado brushes off porn past
Wednesday, September 28, 2016
By Brad Hunter, 24 HoursHillary Clinton’s latest anti-Trump talisman, former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, admits she’s “not a saint” as bombshell revelations emerge in the Spanish media.
Machado has claimed that Republican candidate Donald Trump “fat-shamed” her in 1996 and is now denouncing her one-time benefactor.
That attack on Trump has landed her a spot in the Clinton campaign posse.
But according to the Daily Mail, citing Spanish stories, Machado had a child with a notorious Mexican drug czar, and a witness who testified about the relationship — which she denies — was killed.
A Venezuelan judge also apparently accused her of threatening to kill him because he charged her then-boyfriend with attempted murder.
Spanish media also dug up old footage of Machado having sex on camera in 2005 with the host of a Spanish reality TV show.
“You know, I have my past. Of course. Everybody has. Everybody has a past. And I’m not a saint girl. But that is not the point now,” she told Anderson Cooper.
Machado had been largely forgotten until this election cycle when she joined forces with the troubled Clinton campaign and claimed Trump slammed her as “Miss Piggy” and an “eating machine.”
The object of the tycoon’s ire was Machado’s 40-lb. weight gain after capturing the Miss Universe title in 1996. Trump owns the rights to the pageant.
The Latina stunner later posed nude in 2006 for the Mexican edition of Playboy.
Univision reports that drug lord Gerardo Alvarez-Vazquez got the beauty queen pregnant and she gave birth to a daughter, Dinorah, in 2008.
Of her boyfriend, captured in 2010, the U.S. State Department said in a report: “Alvarez-Vazquez was also believed to be responsible for overseeing the … narcotics-related activities in multiple cities of Mexico and to be actively involved in major bulk crystal methamphetamine procurements. He co-ordinated the movement of illegal narcotics into the United States and oversaw the repatriation of narcotics-related proceeds.”
She has emphatically denied any relationship with the gangster, adding her daughter’s father is “a very respectable businessman.”
Meanwhile, the political website the Daily Caller is claiming that Machado’s raunchy past includes porn. The site says snippets of an X-rated film that features the raven-haired beauty are widely available on multiple porn sites including hdtubemovies xxx for all to indulge in.
The actual Daily Caller statement:
“Machado is no Mother Teresa. She has been accused of playing a role in a 1998 murder and of threatening the judge in the case. (Appearing on CNN this week, she didn’t deny the allegations, only saying: “Everybody has a past, and I’m not a saint girl, but that is not the point now.”)
She appeared nude in Mexican Playboy in 2006 and 2012. And she was filmed having sex while appearing on a 2005 episode of a Spanish reality show.
Early Friday morning, Trump went on another Twitter rant, once again, drawing more attention to the spat. It’s a move that guarantees more news coverage, including on the Sunday morning news shows over the weekend.
“Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U. Hillary floated her as an “angel” without checking her past, which is terrible!” he tweeted.”
Commentary: The original Clinton campaign narrative was planned to project Ms. Machado as a poster-child immigrant of high values and virtue, just becoming a newly-naturalized American citizen. It appears that Trump’s decision to call out Ms. Machado for her alleged porn activities is intended to prevent Hillary Clinton from parading her on the campaign trail during the last month of the Election period to stir animosity among potential female Trump supporters.
Dot #8: Watching for the “Tells.” As members of the American free press do their investigative work, “tells” begin to surface. These two ‘tells” are being investigated and further developed to determine their veracity.
Dot #9: A Wrap Up By Newt Gingrich, which provides considerable insight about the depths to which the fraudulent mainstream media will engage in psychological warfare practices to carry out its instructions from its “globalist” controllers:
Conclusion: Was the mainstream media ambush an act of treason? You decide:
For there to be treason, there has to be a foreign and/or a domestic Enemy. We Americans have that Enemy and this group, frequently called “the globalists,” have a long planned scheme to destroy American sovereignty, our Constitution, our American values, and our economy (and destroy all other nation-states across the world) to force the global population into the “globalists” one-world government fantasy).
This is an Enemy. And this Enemy has gained control of the American banking system with its fraudulent Federal Reserve that is spending massive sums of American tax-payers’ money on endless wars over oil and gas domination and a non-stop bail-out of not just the American banking system, but the entire global banking system, which they own and control, which is insolvent and which is about to collapse, any hour of any day, now. And all during their long planned schemes, they are intentionally creating a monumental national debt which is leading directly to the disintegration of America, its economy, and the American people. And the “globalists” are stealing us blind in another scheme that maximizes extreme income inequality.
The “globalists’” most deadly tool is their foreign and domestic psychological warfare weapon—-it is an instrument of mass mind-control (pull up http://wp.me/P6GDMS-C2 for details). The mainstream media, domestic and foreign, are a fraudulent and criminal enterprise, created by the “globalists,” who own and control the entire global media network. What is the actual role of the mainstream media, really?
IT IS THE GLOBALIST’S PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE WEAPON TO KEEP US DIVIDED, IN THE DARK, DUMBED DOWN, AND TRAUMATIZED BY A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF LOUD AND STUPID NONSENSE THAT PREVENTS US FROM THINKING CLEARLY AND ACTING TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE, OUR ECONOMY, OUR COUNTRY, OUR FREEDOM, AND ESPECIALLY OUR GREATEST RESOURCE—-OUR NEXT GENERATIONS FROM WHICH COMES OUR NEW ENERGY, OUR CREATIVITY, AND OUR PRODUCTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
Therefore, if the psychological warfare weapon is current being used to subvert our 2016 Presidential Election, and has already subverted the Democrat Party primaries, then that is a clear act of treason that threatens our national security and violates our U.S. Constitution. That is, in fact, “levying War on the American People.” And it is also “adhering to our Enemy, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Here is the definition of treason and how the conviction process works, once again:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
How do we put an end to the “globalists” and their minions committing treason against The United States of America? Please click on this link, below, and take it seriously. This awe-inspiring solution also pertains to the “globalists” and their minions who have engineered the surrender of a key part of the Internet to the globalist-controlled United Nations.

Important Clarifications:
First, the American National Service website is offered as an educational, civic engagement and reference source for the benefit of our next generations and other interested parties. The perspective contained herein is not presented as the final and conclusive word on the subject of “How the World Actually Works and Who Is Pulling The Strings At the Top” because this material is subject to verification in the course of full criminal investigations. The perspective is just one reference point the readers can use to help develop their own personal perspectives of the social and economic dilemma that surrounds them and what to do about it.
Second, the perspective presented in this website presents the notion that there is a concealed clique of foreign, dynastic banking families located in the City of London that is the root source of America’s dilemma and the dilemma of the global population. This notion includes the view that the clique has junior partners, namely, American families of great wealth who are the core of the betraying American Eastern Establishment. Moreover, the notion includes the existence of many Israeli Trojan Horse minions who have embedded themselves in key institutions of targeted nation-states—including America—for the purpose of carrying out the clique’s concealed deadly schemes across the world. While considerable research supports this notion, verification by future criminal investigations is necessary. Accordingly, all individuals under scrutiny, as mentioned in this perspective, are to be considered solely as “persons of interest” at this time and in those upcoming investigations.
Third, when subjected to public scrutiny, some of the clique members, their junior partners, and their minions have, historically, tried to hide behind authentic Judaism and deceptively claim antisemitism and hate crimes at work. These individuals who pretend to be Jews are impostors and are not members of authentic Judaism in any way. The colossal destruction and enormous loss of life to Gentiles and Jews alike in the wake of the clique’s deadly and depraved schemes have proven irrefutably that they do not have a religious or humanitarian bone in their bodies. This concealed clique of foreign banking families is nothing less than a deadly global pestilence, a lower order sub-species, in no way identified with, or following the norms of, humankind. Its modus operandi is based on massive fraud, mass murder, global genocide, and unspeakable depravity; the last dregs of a dying feudal order of 10th Century Venetian origin.
Fourth, no statements or information in this perspective are to be construed as recommendations or plans to violate the U.S. Constitution. Accordingly, the key purpose of this perspective is to help the American people reverse America’s dire condition by non-violent means and rebuild America and its economy from the ground up within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution.
