Cory Heidelberger is now endorsing the Queen of crony capitalism for president

Before I get into this analysis, I want it known that I am not voting for Trump. Nor am I voting for Clinton, but Cory Heidelberger is:

Yes, I’m over my 1990s anti-Clinton Republicanism. Hillary Clinton deserves to be our next President.

Cory is being a typical partisan who refuses to see the truth, which is; he has also gotten over his Democratic anti-cronyism. This is what his presidential pick had done:

Cisco Systems had a public relations problem: Having invested $16 billion in the Chinese market, the technology giant was suddenly facing congressional scrutiny over its alleged complicity in building the so-called Great Firewall that helps China’s authoritarian regime censor information and surveil its citizens.

The San Jose, California, company endured a high-profile Senate hearing about its Chinese operations in 2008 and reaffirmed its “continued commitment to China.” But the issue wouldn’t die. A group of investors stormed the company’s annual meeting in November 2009, pressing a shareholder resolution that would force the company to prevent the Chinese government from using Cisco technology to engage in what critics said was widespread human-rights abuse.

That’s when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tossed the company a lifeline. Weeks after Cisco executives opposed the initiative and it was then voted down by shareholders, Cisco was honored as a finalist for the State Department’s award for “outstanding corporate citizenship, innovation and democratic principles.” The next year, the company won the award. While the honors were for the company’s work in the Middle East, they gave Cisco a well-timed opportunity to change the subject and present itself as a champion of human rights.

What Clinton did not say at the State Department award ceremonies was that Cisco had been pumping money into her family’s foundation. Though the foundation will not release an exact timeline of the contributions, records reviewed by International Business Times show that Cisco had by December 2008 donated from $500,000 to $1 million to the foundation. The company had hired lobbying firms run by former Clinton aides. After the money flowed into the foundation, Clinton’s State Department not only lauded Cisco’s human rights record, it also delivered millions of dollars worth of new government contracts to the company.

The most recent foundation records available show that Cisco has donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, all told.

And so much for Cory's partisan anti-Clinton Republicanism propaganda:

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s relationship with Cisco has continued. In August, she appeared at the company for a surprise visit. Chambers interviewed her onstage, telling employees: “I’m a strong Republican, but I think President Clinton got it right with business and knocked the ball out of the park.”

Cory's post was in regard to the debate. A comment hits the truth:

Oligarchy won, the American people lost.

And Big Oil is part of the oligarchy:

First, some facts. Hillary Clinton’s campaign, including her Super PAC, has received a lot of money from the employees and registered lobbyists of fossil-fuel companies. There’s the much-cited $4.5 million that Greenpeace calculated, which includes bundling by lobbyists.

But that’s not all. There is also a lot more money from sources not included in those calculations. For instance, one of Clinton’s most prominent and active financial backers is Warren Buffett. While he owns a large mix of assets, Buffett is up to his eyeballs in coal, including coal transportation and some of the dirtiest coal-fired power plants in the country.

Then there’s all the cash that fossil-fuel companies have directly pumped into the Clinton Foundation. In recent years, Exxon, Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron have all contributed to the foundation. An investigation in the International Business Times just revealed that at least two of these oil companies were part of an effort to lobby Clinton’s State Department about the Alberta tar sands, a massive deposit of extra-dirty oil. Leading climate scientists like James Hansen have explained that if we don’t keep the vast majority of that carbon in the ground, we will unleash catastrophic levels of warming.

During this period, the investigation found, Clinton’s State Department approved the Alberta Clipper, a controversial pipeline carrying large amounts of tar-sands bitumen from Alberta to Wisconsin. “According to federal lobbying records reviewed by the IBT,” write David Sirota and Ned Resnikoff, “Chevron and ConocoPhillips both lobbied the State Department specifically on the issue of ‘oil sands’ in the immediate months prior to the department’s approval, as did a trade association funded by ExxonMobil.”

If you read Cory's web site you would believe that only Republicans would support tar-sand pipelines. And Cory believes Hillary understands biodiversity:

Scientific American asked our Presidential candidates twenty questions about science and technology issues. The responses on biodiversity demonstrate the difference between the informed and practical Democrat and the clueless and sloganeering Republican.

Looks like Cory is wearing the Republican uninformed, clueless, and sloganeering hat as he endorses the Queen of crony capitalism for president. I have been blocked from Cory's web site because I would interfere with his partisan agenda by explaining the oligarchy controls both parties, and that is why other candidates were not allowed to be part of the debate. So he has no excuse for being clueless. He has decided that is the way he wants to be; an uninformed clueless sloganeering Democrat.

UPDATE: Here is the logic of the clueless partisan Democrats who end up endorsing the Queen of crony capitalism:

At this point, Gary Johnson is at 10% or less. Jill Stein is at 5% or less. Neither of them is going to be president. Your choices are HRC or Trump. If you are overly critical of HRC, then you are indirectly supporting Trump, even if you are not voting for him.

What I would like is a fair debate of Clinton versus Trump. If you come on here and cite Trump’s son-in-law, you are darn right I’m going to question your position. If you are going to go after HRC, I would like to see a comparison with Trump. I provide the case for HRC. If you are against HRC, you have to provide the case for why Trump should be president, because those are the only two viable choices at this point.

Obama, Bono, and Cory Heidelberger secretly promote global crony capitalists, or maybe they are just unknowingly stooges for Monsanto

Cory Heidelberger covers Bono's interview with CBS:

Charlie Rose talked to Bono about the American Presidential election this morning. I’m probably a socialist rat bastard for quoting some artsy-fartsy Irish dancy boy about American politics… but Bono gets America

The art of propaganda is ignoring the truth. So lets first present the beginning of the interview:

U2 is now in its 40th year in music business, but in addition to its legendary music, the band’s lead singer is also well-known for his philanthropic work around the world.

“Our music was always wrapped around social justice, which is where you and I met, you know,” Bono told “CBS This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose. “In these, you know, in the fight against extreme poverty.

What the liberals don't want to understand is that so-called "social justice" is what fuels liberal global corporate capitalism. This is from 2012:

At the G8 Summit held two weeks ago at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.

And Bono, of the rock group U2, is out shilling for Monsanto on this one.

It’s phase 2 of the Green Revolution. Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia are the first to fall for the deception, with Mozambique, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and other African nations lining up for the “Grow Africa Partnership,” under Obama’s “Global Agricultural Development” plan.

So in the name of Neo-Marxist social justice for the poor, we have the Neo-Fascist liberal corporatists in bed with big government via public/private partnerships as promoted by Bono:

Bono says that there has to be a ‘public private partnership’ in order to get this done and that they are going to be using the ideas of the African people and farmers. Really? This is what the African farmers say to that…

‘We request that: – governments, FAO, the G8, the World Bank and the GAFSP reconsider their promotion of Public/Private Partnerships which, as they are now conceived, are not suitable instruments to support the family farms which are the very basis of African food security and sovereignty.’ African Civil Society Organizations

“I wonder if that could be any clearer. They don’t WANT the public private partnerships involved in this process…. It’s not enough that huge mega-corporations are bleeding the nations of Africa dry by sucking the valuable mineral resources out of their hills. No. As Bono says about the development in Africa:

‘They’re future consumers for the United States. The president is talking business. This is good. It’s a whole new development paradigm today. The old donor/recipient relationship… it’s over.’”

So instead of helping the poor, Obama and Bono are really helping out the liberal corporatists. And Cory is not smart enough to figure it out. Steve Parson left this comment:

I’m simply amazed in how many people come out and state Trump is such a bad idea for America but can then say they are voting for a corrupt politician in Hillary. I realize that Cory will vote for HRC no matter if she killed people, oh wait she did, but I digress.

The Vote none of the above should be the mantra for intelligent Americans come November. But I know you Liberals aren’t smart enough for that. You drink blue kool aid so much you’d vote for Charles Manson if he was the Democratic nominee. Yep, you know it too.

To which Cory said:

Note that Bono didn’t say he’s voting for Hillary. He notes elsewhere in the Rose interview that he doesn’t vote at all.

You have not established that she has killed people. Neither has any formal hearing or court of law. I need more than Breitbart bushwah to sway my vote.

You assert an overgeneralization that is not true. I will vote for Republicans who are superior to their opponents. I did so in 2014 when I voted for Attorney General Marty Jackley.

Your post offers no substance to the discussion of Trump’s incompatibility with American ideals. You just come and shout tired old tripe about liberals being stupid, which (a) is not the point of the post and (b) has no refutatory value against Bono’s statement. Don’t come here to shout at your TV or talk radio. Come here to talk about what we actually talk about.

Typical of Cory to being rude toward those who take the position that both sides are wrong. First Parson never said Bono was voting for Hillary. Bono said he can't vote for any candidate. And Parson's position is that Americans should not support either candidate. So why should Parson be required to defend Trump and refute Bono? Because Cory demands that the discussion be about hating white male conservative Republicans. And there Cory does refute Bono:

“I would not diminish Trump supporters or underestimate their angst, because I feel that in a way, they have correctly assessed that the center parties haven’t yet become clear.”

“In other words, you’re saying their angst is real and genuine, a sense that ‘I worry about my country and where it is,’” Charlie said. 

“Yeah, yeah. But there are very real problems facing not just America, but facing Europe. And remember, who’s in the White House? I’m Irish. I don’t have a vote. And I can’t be telling people how to vote and don’t want to, but I have a voice, and I can say that who sits in that office really affects everyone in this world,” Bono said. 

So if Cory wants to promote Bono's position, then he should stop promoting angst toward Trump supporters. And certainly he should stop promoting angst toward those who say both Republican and Democratic leaderships are wrong headed, and then bully them into silence up to and including blocking our comments.

Cory Heidelberger's policy positions exposed as dangerous in wake of the latest violent rampage by Islamic immigrants, and ignores his crony capitalist conflict of interest

Just a few days ago, Cory Heidelberger said this:

I have exerted myself online and in numerous face-to-face conversations to defend Lutheran Social Services from the absurd conspiratorial accusations that Ron Branstner and others have peddled in Aberdeen and elsewhere to stoke xenophobic anti-refugee sentiment (and I’m not even Lutheran). I am disappointed to see that Lutheran Social Services appears to be partially surrendering to that xenophobia by announcing that it will not help President Obama meet his goal of welcoming more Syrian refugees to America

Cory has become an accomplished politician who uses half truths to mislead. While it may be true that Cory is not a Lutheran, his wife Erin is Lutheran pastor of the apostate movement that claims to be Christian. And she is part of the LSS agenda:

The Distinguished Congregational Partner of the Year award went to Zion Lutheran Church in Aberdeen. Rev. Erin Heidelberger, Associate Pastor at Zion Lutheran, accepted the award on behalf of the congregation.

Zion Lutheran has been involved with LSS for many years in many ways.

So Cory did not disclose his conflict of interest and gave a false impression regarding any bias he has in regard to the LSS special interest group.

Then Cory makes this false statement:

I can understand the possible logic behind LSS’s decision: if some South Dakotans are vocalizing their hate to such a degree that they will make newcomers feel unwelcome, why subject&/nbsp;more of those newcomers to that hatred? Why not ease their transition to America by seeking more welcoming, Christian communities?

Typical move by a cultural Neo-Marxist to promote hate mongering, while falsely accusing those he disagrees with for being motivated by hate. Those who Cory disagree with are concerned about those who hate Christian, and have and will invoke violent attacks. We had an example of that last weekend in Minnesota:

An Islamic State-run news agency claims the man who stabbed and wounded eight people at a mall in Minnesota before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer was a "soldier of the Islamic State."

The IS-run Rasd news agency reported the cl/aim on Sunday, saying the attacker had heeded calls from the extremist group for attacks in countries that are part of a U.S.-led anti-IS coalition.

And Cory has yet to post this fact:

USPSA Shooter,  3-Gunner, and NRA-certified firearms instructor Jason Falconer has been identified as the man who shot and killed a 22-year-old Somali immigrant who went on a stabbing rampage inside a St. Cloud, (MN) Mall on Saturday.

The apparent terrorist—who apparently asked victims if they were Muslims before stabbing them—was engaged by Falconer inside the mall.

Falconer is the president and owner of Tactical Advantage LLC, a shooting range and tactical training facility with a strong focus on arming concealed carriers. He’s also a former chief of the Albany (MN) police department, and he remains a part-time officer.

But Falconer has consistently been identified in the mainstream media only as a “former police chief” and  “off-duty police officer.”

That truth shows how dangerous the proposed ban on concealed carry is to America. Cory not only wants to remove that right, he denies it is a right.

And in New York another Muslim immigrant did not use a gun to invoke terror attacks:

The revelation that the suspected New York City bomber was born in Afghanistan before becoming a U.S. citizen prompted Republicans to attack the U.S. government's immigrant screening process.

Following the apprehension of Ahmad Khan Rahami, who immigrated with his family to the U.S., Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers said the government doesn't know enough about people from countries with terror connections — such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Somalia — to allow their continued access into the U.S.

"These attacks, and many others, were made possible because of our extremely open immigration system, which fails to properly vet and screen the individuals or families coming into our country," Trump said during a campaign stop in Estero, Fla. "Immigration security is national security."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., took to the Senate floor Monday to discuss national security threats facing the U.S. from terrorists abroad and those who have entered the country. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said the attacks were a reminder that the country needs to "enhance the vetting of immigrants to ensure we are not granting citizenship or refugee status to terrorists."

It is clear that Cory's policy positions makes him unfit to be state Senator. He as yet to post a word about the two immigrant's violate actions last weekend. And while he exposes his political opponents conflict of interest, he ignores his own. This is the kind of selfish politician that can't be trusted to represent others.

Instead of being civil, Heidelberger caused a major scene at a Branster presentation on the refugee issue:

Interesting story up in Aberdeen this AM, where the Ultra-liberal State Senate Candidate Cory Heidelberger decided to verbally spar with a speaker at an event where he was an uninvited member of the audience:

Things got heated at a lecture by Ron Branstner at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Aberdeen on Thursday when Corey Heidelberger defended a piece from his blog, Dakota Free Press, that Branstner critiqued in front of the group of about 200 assembled.

Heidelberger and Branstner began talking over each other, and members from the audience began shouting “get out” to Heidelberger, who is running for state Senate.

This happened during the question-and-answer portion at the end of Branstner’s lecture.

Branstner asked that things not get violent and the crowd quieted down.

Read it here.

Libertarian Ken Santema of the website SDliberty.com was in attendance, and has pictures, and promises upcoming video of the confrontations that the Democrat Senate Candidate had with the speaker and members of the crowd, who called for him to “Get out!”

Is it just me, or does inciting a near riot not seem like very candidate-like behavior? At the least, it comes off as very poor judgement.  People are allowed to have opinions, especially at events that they are hosting and paying for. And they might be contrary to the opinions held by politicians.

This is an attitude of one who will ban those from his web site who prove him wrong. THe problem he has with me is that I point out his crony capitalism. And that is exactly what he is doing in regard to this refugee issue:

I’m sorry to say I don’t have time to give you all the background of what happened this week in Aberdeen, SD (a city I visited on my travels) as I dash out to my last stop of my 4 week (12 state so far) tour of American cities and towns troubled with a refugee program that is largely aimed at supplying cheap LEGAL immigrant labor to large manufacturing companies and that includes the new (re-opening) meat packing plant in Aberdeen.

Blogger, progressive activist and candidate for the SD Senate, Corey Heidelberger appears to be working on behalf of the South Dakota meat packing industry as he confronted Branstner. I have a hard time understanding why liberals work with the large multi-national corporations pushing migrant labor on America. Bio here: http://coryheidelberger.com/bio/

See my previous post on Aberdeen by clicking here.

A new ‘pocket of resistance’ is forming there.

Here is a small portion of the story at Aberdeen News (you have to subscribe to see it):

Things got heated at a lecture by Ron Branstner at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Aberdeen on Thursday when Corey Heidelberger defended a piece from his blog, Dakota Free Press, that Branstner critiqued in front of the group of about 200 assembled.

Heidelberger and Branstner began talking over each other, and members from the audience began shouting “get out” to Heidelberger, who is running for state Senate.

This happened during the question-and-answer portion at the end of Branstner’s lecture.

Branstner asked that things not get violent and the crowd quieted down.

The beginning portion of his lecture used a digital slide show as a guide as Branstner spoke off the cuff.
Much of his speech attempted to discredit the U.S. refugee resettlement program, which in South Dakota is run by Lutheran Social Services.

He also spoke out against Islamic groups, President Barack Obama’s administration and illegal immigration.

By the way, I have met Ron Branstner, great guy, and an extremely knowledgeable private citizen who has done his homework about how the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program is busy supplying large multi-national corporations with immigrant workers.

One major conclusion for me at the end of my tour—-it is about MONEY! (and it is about producing Democrat voters by shoving diversity down the throats of unsuspecting towns and cities!).

Yes, crony capitalism is bipartisan. And as Cory points out, the Lutheran Social Services are helping the globalist bring cheap labor to America, even when it also brings our enemies and violence. And when Americans voice their concerns, Cory resorts to name calling and race baiting.

The Madville liberals are lazy, so they covet

Proverbs 21:25-26 says:

25  The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. 26  He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

Here is a comment in regard to a Medicaid expansion at Madville:

Medicaid expansion would not require a greater investment by SD. In fact, the resulting $300 million federal investment each year in healthcare for 50,000 South Dakotans would ripple through our economy creating sales tax and property tax revenue for the state and local governments and economic growth.

So South Dakotans don't have to pay for their own medical costs. And then bearcreekbat says:

Tim, there is even more to it – we in SD have paid federal income taxes that have been, and will be, used by the feds to help cover the cost of medicaid expansions in all states. By refusing to expand medicaid we are telling the feds to use our tax dollars we have already paid in, and will pay in the future, to fund medicaid expansions in states other than SD. Not exactly the brightest thing for our fearless leaders to do with South Dakotan’s federal tax dollars.

Sad that politics is all about greed and how much one special interest group can take from another, or what one state can take from citizens of other states. Even the teacher pay tax increase was based on the premise that tourists can help give South Dakota teachers a pay increase so that they don't move to another state. The worldview of the Darwinian secularists creates a dog eat dog world (survival of the fittest). The liberals say they are helping the poor, but it is the crony capitalists who benefit the most. This is another argument that will get you kicked out of Madville.

Using the lazy to promote coveting is not supported by Biblical Christianity, yet liberals try and call Jesus a socialist. He was apolitical.

Cory Heidelberger's latest partisan propaganda says Democrats believe in democracy. UPDATE: Hillary is closer to Mussolini than Trump is to Hitler

UPDATE: Now Cory is admitting he doesn't like democracy as he responds to how Trump is ahead in several states:

Mike, I do wonder how a man so clearly selfish and unqualified can lead in any state. Such are the errors a democracy is capable of. As Mr. Pay reminds us, Hitler won votes, too. Demagogues and dictators can fool some of the people some of the time. That’s why it’s important that all of the people get out and vote every time.

What got me blocked from commenting was that I made the point that Hillary and Trump are made from the same cloth. That is why many are saying they have no choice. And most don't know that they have been electing fascists in America for some time now. And this truth is what Cory refuses to accept:

But for Mussolini, fascism was not what Hitler has made us define it as.

For Mussolini, fascism was much more about corporatism (or corporativism, or fascist corporatism), of letting corporations write, define and perhaps even execute a country’s economic policies. And have a strong man -he meant himself- coordinate these policies in government.

and...

‘Politico-economics’ (a.k.a corporatism) is our present form of government, even of organizing our entire societies, and it’s the very thing people protest against when they vote for Trump and Le Pen (and against Cameron when they vote for Brexit). This would seem to put the claim that Trump is a fascist on its head. Trump is the reaction to fascism as defined by Mussolini, as are le Pen and Orban and Wilders and the others, even as they are accused of being fascists themselves.

Corporations, the elite, govern our societies, no matter that there is still a thin veneer of democratic rights -barely- visible. It makes no difference in the States whether you vote Democratic or Republican, they are the same thing – except for a few intentionally well-conserved minor details.

The same is true all across Europe. In Greece, left-wing Syriza governs in a coalition with very-right-wing Independent Greeks. In Holland, former adversaries from the left and right sit happily in a cabinet and nobody thinks that’s strange. That why people like Le Pen and Wilders and Trump can become what they are today. There is a politico-economic vacuum.

The former differences between parties don’t matter anymore because on major issues politicians have no decision-making voice, they simply do what they are told. And if they do that well, they get handsomely compensated for it. The ultimate paragons of this development are not Trump and le Pen, but Obama, Cameron, both Clintons, Hollande, Merkel, the list is endless because the corporatist takeover is well-nigh complete across the board.

and...

I’m not writing this to support Trump or Le Pen, they’re not my kind of people at all. But neither is Hillary. I write it to warn people away from vacuous claims and statements. Which are not only dishonest, they have started to support the very people they’re made against. The political climate is changing, because the economy is tanking.

And I write this to indicate that fascism may well already be amongst us, and it would be a good idea if we learned to recognize it. To suggest that perhaps, if we’re honest, Hillary is closer to Mussolini than Trump is to Hitler.

That is the real reason Trump is leading in several states.

END UPDATE

Cory Heidelberger makes this false claim:

We Democrats say to voters, “Read more, learn more, and come vote,” with confidence that the more people learn and the more they vote, the better our democracy will be.

And when we remind voters that we Democrats are the party of democracy, the party that believes in voters, we’ll see more voters believing in us.

If that was true, then the Democrats would respect South Dakota voters who changed their constitution in order to say same sex marriage is not allowed in this state. And if Cory truly believed in informing people, he wouldn't ban my comments.
