Perhaps like you, I was one of the estimated 84 million people who watched the first televised debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, in their 2016 pursuit of the presidency.
As I watched, I could not help trying to
remember how long it has been since I first became aware of Hillary
Clinton. It had to be back in 1988, when her husband, Governor Bill
Clinton of Arkansas, gave the nominating address to the Democratic
National Convention in Atlanta. In what was meant to be a minor
15-minute message to officially nominate Governor Michael Dukakis (of Massachusetts) to run for president, the wordy, southern newcomer was booed as his speech went on for well over a half hour. Even then, Mrs. Clinton was at his side, defending his speech and extolling his talents.
Four years later, in 1992, Bill Clinton
explained that he and Hillary were a package deal. If we voted for him
to become President of the United States, we would get Hillary as a
bonus, “two for the price of one.” True to his word, Hillary Rodham
Clinton set herself apart as a legally astute and politically persistent
First Lady.
Since there is no position as First Lady
in our constitution, the activities and authority of the role varies by
the public personality and political goals of the individual and their
elected spouse. Most have served as hostess of the White House,
overseeing all social and ceremonial events of “The People’s House.” Her
role and activities are an extension of the office of the elected
spouse. For the Clinton White House, staff and observers have said they
often could not tell where Bill’s efforts stopped and Hillary’s began.
It really was a “two for the price of one.”
After the Democrats lost Congress in
1994, along with other political setbacks, the Clintons invited a small
group of self-help authors and leaders of the New Age human-potential
movement to Camp David for insight and inspiration. Bob Woodward (from
Watergate fame) wrote The Choice,
about how Bill Clinton won the election in 1996. He revealed this New
Age-ish self-help gathering and the continued contacts Hillary had with
one particular member of the group, psychic and astrologer Dr. Jean Houston.
Woodward explained, “Three of the attendees were well-known: Anthony Robbins, author of ‘Awaken the Giant Within’; Marianne Williamson, author of ‘A Return to Love’; and Stephen R. Covey, author of ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Effective People’.
Their names later leaked out publicly and all three declined to discuss
the substance of the meeting. The identities of the two others did not
leak, and they were the ones who played a significant role over the
weekend and the year that followed.”
“The first was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research,
which studies psychic experience and altered and expanded
consciousness. Houston, then 55, the author of 14 books, was one of the
most high-energy seminar leaders in the country. She was a believer in
spirits, mythic and other connections to history and to other worlds.”
Dr. Houston became Hillary’s “spiritual
adviser” and had many meetings and overnight stays in the White House in
1994 and 1995. During these stays, she led the First Lady in vivid mental techniques and “imagined dialogs” with Eleanor Roosevelt and
even one of Mrs. Clinton’s heroes, Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. These
experiences can only be understood as actual spiritualist séances.
The White House went into “spin cycle”
and George Stephanopoulos, who was then the senior adviser to the
President, said it was common for White House figures to ponder history
and imagine what their predecessors might have done in trying
situations. He suggested Woodward’s reports were “titillating”
exaggerations, offered in the marketing of his book about the White
House.
However, “visualizing” an imaginary
conversation with someone still does not result in “dialogues”; only an
actual séance would produce a dialogue with the dead. This dark and
dangerous practice is known as necromancy and is forbidden in the Bible.
If Mrs. Clinton had supposed dialog with the “dead,” she
was actually talking to demons! One can only wonder if these occult
occasions continued in these past 20 years. And, if they have, how might
this “dark magic” explain some of her bizarre actions, anger, and
attitudes, for which she has become notorious?
