Hillary Clinton Rescued By Iranians from Near Fatal Plane Crash

Hillary Clinton Rescued By Iranians from Near Fatal Plane Crash | Stuart Wilde | The Official Author Website
A new Foreign Military Intelligence (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin today is saying that United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [photo 2nd left] was injured, and a top US Navy Seal Commander killed when their C-12 Huron military passenger and transport aircraft crash landed nearly 3 weeks ago in the Iranian city of Ahvaz near the Iraqi border.

Iranian intelligence agents quoted in this GRU report confirm that the C-12 Huron aircraft is still in their possession in Ahvaz, but will only admit that the plane was “forced to land because of technical problems.”

The US Navy Seal member reported killed in this bizarre incident, this report says, was indentified as Commander Job W. Price [photo 3rd left] who as a leader of this highly specialized American Special Forces unit protects high-ranking diplomats traveling in Middle Eastern and Asian combat zones.

Curiously, US media reports on Commander Price’s death say it being investigated as a possible suicide as he died from what the American Defense Department describes as “a non-combat related injury.”

Why we don’t need to throw the bums out.
“It’s nice to elect the right people, but that’s not the way you solve things.
They way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things.”
Politicians are at best semi-autonomous.
They mostly respond to external forces.
If you want them to behave differently, change the correlation of forces.
 That can be done by taking over state parties, by primarying people, by changing the culture and all sorts of other ways.
