Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (Documentary; 2016)
Director, Screenwriter: Dinesh D'Souza, Bruce Schooley
Even though this partisan documentary did such a fantastic job criticising the Democratic Party and probably aided the victory of Donald Trump and his Republican Party, it received a flurry of negative reviews in the mainstream media. Despite having the honour of being one of highest grosser of all time, the film was nominated and made a killing at the Raspberry Awards for the worst Director, Film and Actor.
The presentation starts with D'Souza starting his jail sentence for misuse of political funds (when he did his first film, 2016: Obama's America). As he mingles with the hardcore criminals in prison, he realises that the modus operandi of the gangs that control the jail is the same as the crooks that control politics in America, especially that of the Democratic Party. Just like the design laid out by a schemer who was a fellow inmate, the design is the same - plan, pitch, take and deny.
The premise of the whole show is to portray Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party of America as conniving psychopaths who are out to cheat Americans citizens blind just to build their own empire without giving two hoots about is the right things to do and what is just. D"Souza accuse them of being the bad guys who steal, collude with the Russians, build personal funds (like the Clinton Foundation) to profit themselves and their conspirators and act in subversive manners.
Predecessors of the Democratic Party, starting with Andrew Johnson have been unapologetic slave owners who were hellbent on keeping slavery very much alive. They were the chief opposers of slave abolition and Indian Bill. They resisted equal rights to women and blacks. At one time, they even delved in eugenics to maintain a pure white bloodline. The Ku Klux Klan is alleged to be the military arm of the Party. The Second Amendment, to bear arms has racial connotations as at what time black could not own guns. The racial rant apparently continued during Woodrow Wilson and FDR's eras.
The second part of the film takes a major swipe at Hillary Clinton and Clinton Foundation. Improving on Saul Alinsky's socialist and radical ideologies, Hillary masterminded to put Bill Clinton despite knowing about his extramarital habits. Bill was just the right figure who was charismatic enough to garner votes and move into the White House. Later, with her liaison in Foreign Affairs, the Clinton Foundation used their non-profit NGO image to source funds to fatten their pockets and their cronies. They used their influence to obtain uranium mining projects in Azerbaijan. They are the reason why the Russians own two-thirds of uranium mines in the USA. They even used Haiti Earthquake funds to finance their contributors to repair textile factory instead of helping victims of the catastrophe.
D'Souza asserts that the Democratic Party did not, as it is commonly believed, that they underwent a switch. It did not become progressive, and the Southern racists did not flock into the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is master of disguise. They have perfected the art of divide-and-rule, saying one thing to one audience and another to the other to stay in power.
This must be the effect of infobesity and information overload in the post-truth era. Nobody knows what is right anymore. For every new piece of information, there is always a counter fact which sounds equally convincing. History can be manipulated to serve one's secret activities. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
