Небольшой эпизод из избирательной кампании 2016.
11 октября 2016 Викиликс вывалили очередную порцию емайлов из взломанной почты Джона Подесты. Среди них был емайл 2011 года, в котором Дженифер Палмиери (Director of Communicationsв в кампании Хиллари Клинтон) обменивалась мнением с Джоном Халпиным, другим демократом и католиком, в то время когда они вместе с Подестой работали в Center for American Progress.
Халпин обсуждал статью про Руперта Мердока, в которой рассказывалось, как Мердок выращивает детей в католической вере: "Ken Auletta's latest piece on Murdoch in the New Yorker starts off with the aside that both Murdoch and Robert Thompson, managing editor of the WSJ, are raising their kids Catholic. Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus." На что Палмиери заметила: "I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals."
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4364
Первым этот емайл высветил по свежим следам канал RT https://www.rt.com/usa/362358-wikileaks-third-podesta-emails/
На трампинге во Флориде Трамп и его спичрайтеры воспользовались шпаргалкой. В своей речи в этот день Трамп упомянул Викиликс 13 раз. Австралиец Руперт Мердок, обладатель состояния в $20 миллиардов, превратился у него в "everyday Americans".
"The Hillary Clinton documents released today by WikiLeaks make more clear than ever just how much is at stake in this election, so much corruption. This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt banana republic controlled by large donors and foreign governments. <...> Тhese WikiLeaks e-mails confirm what those of us here today have known all along. Hillary Clinton is the vessel, a corrupt global establishment that's raiding our country and surrendering the sovereignty of our nation. <...> WikiLeaks has given us a window into the secret corridors of government power where we see a former secretary of state announcing her desire to end forever the American independence that our Founders gave to us and wanted us to have. <...> Not only have the Clintons ripped off Haiti, but the new e-mails show members of the Clinton team attacking Catholics. While this is offensive, it's just the latest evidence of the hatred that the Clinton campaign has really for everyday Americans. And you see it and you see so much from these WikiLeaks. You see so much, there's so much."

Карл Роув, руководитель избирательной кампании Буша, пришел на Fox News. Он говорил о важности голосов католических избирателей (четверти электората) и что кампании Трампа необходимо воспользоваться моментом, чтобы изобразить Клинтон врагом католиков и всех верующих вообще.
Very little pick-up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. So dishonest! Rigged system!

На следующий день, 12 октября 2016, Викилис (Джулиан Ассанж) пишет Дональду Трампу-младшему "Hey Donald, great to see you and your dad talking about our publications."

Кампания Трампа проводит специальный брифинг для прессы, с участием дежурных католиков - Келлиэнн Конуэй, руководителя избирательной кампании, и Ньюта Гингрича с его третьей женой (ныне послом в Ватикан).
Speaking in a conference call along with Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway and several practicing Catholic officials, Gingrich and his wife Callista both expressed dismay over the comments, with Gingrich saying a Clinton Supreme Court would be the “most anti-liberty, most anti-free speech” in history.
Gingrich alluded to Clinton’s statement last month that half of Trump’s supporters are “deplorables” who are either racist, xenophobic, sexist, Islamophobic or homophobic.
“Callista and I both feel assault not just on Catholicism but on people of faith, the callousness, the contempt,” Gingrich said. “Now we know what Hillary meant by deplorables. It’s people of faith.” <...>
Our Catholic engagement strategy is a great example of the bottom-up, grassroots-centric nature of our campaign,” Conway said. “You’re not gonna see tens of millions of dollars in trying to reach Catholics.”
She also said Trump’s pro-life stance, which he adopted shortly before his presidential run, is an important issues “to tens of millions of Catholics regardless of what they tell pollsters and what their beliefs are.”
“Our ticket is pro-life and that’s incredibly important to Catholics across the country, including in the swing states,” Conway continued, noting that there is a major concentration of Catholics in some swing states.

В тот же день мобилизованный Майк Пенс выступает в Liberty University Джерри Фалуэлла-младшего.
Pence said a President Trump would ban late-term abortions, defund Planned Parenthood and appoint conservative Supreme Court justices, adding that he longed to see the day when Roe v. Wade was in “the ash heap of history.”
Pence also slammed Clinton’s campaign for “anti-Catholic, anti-evangelical remarks” made by an aide in an email hacked by WikiLeaks. <...>
“Hillary Clinton should renounce those anti-Catholic, anti-evangelical remarks, and her campaign staff should apologize to people of faith and do it now,” Pence said.

Дополнительно кампания Трампа организует коллективное письмо религиозных пастырей, включая католиков и евангелистов, в том числе руководителей крупнейших церквей.
"The WikiLeaks emails reveal a contempt for all traditional Christians, and we are – Catholic and Evangelical – united in our outrage and united in our call for Mrs. Clinton to immediately apologize for the Christophobic behavior of her associates."

На следующий день, 13 октября 2016, выступая в Огайо, Трамп снова вовсю педалит Викиликс.
"They want to distract us from WikiLeaks -- it's been amazing what's coming out on WikiLeaks. <...> The new e-mails also show members of the Clinton team, viciously attacking Catholics and evangelicals. [Booing] True. [Applause] It's just the latest evidence of the hatred that the Clinton campaign has for faithful people in our country. Faithful Americans."

Сливы Викиликс пришлись в это время как нельзя кстати, потому что приходилось отбиваться от обвинений в сексуальных домогательствах, с которыми выступили многие женщины.
"It's not coincidence that these attacks come at the exact same moment, and all together at the same time as WikiLeaks releases documents exposing the massive international corruption of the Clinton machine, including 2,000 more e-mails just this morning.
These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false.
And the Clintons know it, and they know it very well. These claims are all fabricated. They're pure fiction and they're outright lies. These events never, ever happened and the people said them meekly fully understand. You take a look at these people, you study these people, and you'll understand also.
The claims are preposterous, ludicrous, and defy truth, common sense and logic. We already have substantial evidence to dispute these lies, and it will be made public in an appropriate way and at an appropriate time very soon."

Майк Пенс приходит на телевидение и, когда его спрашивают про Трампа и женщин, сливается в заготовленный вотэбаутизм:
PENCE: Well, Donald Trump has made it clear that he categorically denies the allegations that have been made against him this week.
DICKERSON: But what about the treatment of these people coming forward, sir?
PENCE: Well, but, John, what about calling half of our -- half of our supporters a basket of deplorables?
DICKERSON: So, it’s OK if Hillary Clinton does it? Is it -- two wrongs make a right?
PENCE: What about this week that came out with the most anti-Catholic, anti-evangelical rhetoric that I have ever seen by anybody in a high position in public life?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-transcript-october-16-2016-pence-kaine/
Выступая в католической телепрограмме за 10 дней до выборов, Трамп дал себе волю. Уже не просто Руперт Мердок превратился в олицетворение обычных верующих американцев, но и вместо отдельных членов кампании Клинтон, к которым предъявлялись претензии раннее, можно было тупо валить все на Клинтон.
You mentioned emails. These WikiLeak revelations have offended a lot of evangelicals and Catholics.
Right. <...>
Now, that’s her staff.
It’s her.
Is she guilty of that? Should she apologize?
It’s her. It’s her. She should apologize. I think she has to do more than apologize. You know, that’s her thinking. That’s her staff. Frankly, if any Catholic votes for Hillary Clinton, you know, I would say, if I were a Catholic, I wouldn’t be talking to them anymore. She’s been terrible in what she said and her thoughts towards Catholics and to evangelicals. She was mocking evangelicals, also. So, you’d say, why would an evangelical or a Catholic — and almost, you could say, anybody of faith, but in particular, because they were mentioned, evangelicals and Catholics — why would they vote for Hillary Clinton? And how could they vote for Hillary Clinton? But that’s her speaking, believe me.
Well, if it’s her staff. Do you think it reveals a mindset in the administration?
Well, it’s her staff, but I think it’s her.

Помогло ли разыгрывание мяча с подачи ГРУ/Викиликс набрать драгоценные голоса католиков? В точности на этот вопрос невозможно ответить, но вероятность такая есть.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, two states Trump was aggressively contesting, are among the top 10 states in the US in terms of Catholic population at 29 percent and 32 percent respectively, according to a Gallup survey from 2014.
That means there are about 3.7 million Catholics in Pennsylvania, a state that Trump won by fewer than 50,000 votes. There are about 1.8 million Catholics in Wisconsin, a state he won by about 20,000 votes. Both states were critical to his narrow Electoral College victory.
“It was absolutely part of the strategy to focus on blue-collar Catholics in the Rust Belt; it was a major initiative of the Trump campaign,” Stephen Schneck, a professor at the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies, told me. “WikiLeaks was clearly a piece of all that.”

Свои обязательства перед католиками Трамп частично выполнил, назначив двух консервативных католиков в Верховный суд и подготовив тем самым время, когда, по выражению Майка Пенса, Row v. Wade (решение Верховного суда о легализации абортов) можно будет отправить "на свалку истории".
Что касается (белых) евангелистов, то их духовные наставники склонились к теории о том, что хотя Трамп сам может быть и грешен, его следует принимать, как Богопомазанника.
As a result of the relentless “Trump was anointed” propagandizing on Christian media, millions of Americans do in fact believe that Trump’s election was the fulfillment of prophesy and the result of God’s supernatural intervention in the 2016 election. Which helps explain why conservative evangelicals remain Trump’s most intensely and stubbornly loyal supporters. And it explains why Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a conservative evangelical Christian herself, could comfortably say on camera that God wanted Trump to be president.

Стивен Стрэнг, автор книжки "God and Donald Trump":
I know it seems crazy, but somehow, some way, God intervened in that election and saved us from "corrupt Hillary" becoming president.
When I was interviewed about the book, secular television reporters asked me how evangelicals could bring themselves to vote for a man so flawed. I found myself saying that millions of Christians were praying that somehow God would shift the direction in which this nation is headed. I said God answered our prayers in a way we didn't expect with a person we didn't necessarily like. But once Trump began to implement his policies, we were sure we had made the right choice.
As I've already mentioned, I didn't support Trump initially for the same reason some evangelicals still don't support him: His lifestyle and brash behavior were not what Christians want from their national leaders. As I've said on many occasions, I publicly endorsed Ted Cruz and supported him until the day he dropped out. By then, I had become aware of the comparisons between Donald Trump and the pagan Persian king Cyrus the Great, who let the Israelites return from captivity to Jerusalem. If God could use Cyrus (and many other imperfect leaders in the Bible), why should I question him using someone as imperfect as Donald Trump?

Церемония о начале кампании по переизбранию богомозанника предварялась массовой молитвой под руководством Полы Уайт, в котором о божьем выборе говорилось прямым текстом.
White thanked God for Trump, and asked that his “favor causes his horn, his power, to be exalted,” then cited a scripture that posed Trump as God’s “anointed” asking, “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain, the kings of the Earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying ‘Let us break their chains and throw out their shackles.’ The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.”
White stopped short of quoting the next verses, which quote God as saying, “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
“Father, you have raised President Trump up for such a time as this,” White continued, and asked God to “reveal the secret and the deep things to President Trump.”
White then demanded that “every evil veil of deception of the enemy be removed from people’s eyes,” and that “every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus.”
“I declare that President Trump will overcome every strategy from hell, and every strategy of the enemy, every strategy, and he will fulfill his calling and his destiny,” White declared, and asked God to “destroy and divide their tongues,” to “give President Trump strength to bring forth his destiny,” and to “let the secret counsel of wickedness be turned to foolishness right now.”
White concluded by deploying the hand of God, saying, “I deploy the hand of God to work for him in the name of Jesus, I secure his calling, I secure his purpose, I secure his family, and we secure victory in the name which is above every name, the name that has never failed for this nation, and for my life, the name of Jesus Christ, and everybody said Amen.”

Date: 2019-07-08 11:35 pm (UTC)Trump’s campaign manager says the president was sent by God to save the country. The White House press secretary thinks God wanted Trump to be president. And the secretary of State believes it’s possible that Trump is on a holy mission to protect the Jewish people from the threat of Iran.
Forget the allegations of extramarital affairs, the nonstop Twitter insults and the efforts to close the southern border to migrants. Trump’s allies insist that his presidency is divinely inspired.
“There has never been and probably never will be a movement like this again,” Brad Parscale, the president’s campaign manager, wrote Tuesday morning on Twitter. “Only God could deliver such a savior to our nation, and only God could allow me to help. God bless America!”

Набожный госсекретарь Майк Помпео не расстается с книжечкой для молитв и открывает молитвой заседание кабинета министров.
ТHE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Thank you very much for being here. I think we’ll start with Secretary Pompeo saying a prayer.
Mike.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you, Mr. President. So I’m going to read a prayer that is from a — long ago in my history. It’s called the “Cadet Prayer.” You see this little beat-up little book? Every cadet gets one. And if you’ll bow your heads, I’ll do the prayer.
“O God, our Father, Thou Searcher of Men’s hearts, help us to draw near to Thee in sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness and may our worship of Thee be natural.
Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretense ever to diminish…Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half-truth when the whole can be won. Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice and injustice and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy…Help us to maintain the honor of the [United States] untarnished and unsullied and to show forth in our lives the ideals of [America] in doing our duty to Thee and to our [nation]. All of which we ask in the name of [our] Great Friend and Master of [men]. Amen.”
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you for doing a great job too.
SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you, sir.

Его новая инициатива - попытка дать новое определение правам человека.
Unalienable rights are by nature universal. Not everything good, or everything granted by a government, can be a universal right. Loose talk of “rights” unmoors us from the principles of liberal democracy.
That’s why I’m launching a Commission on Unalienable Rights at the State Department, chaired by Harvard Law School professor Mary Ann Glendon and populated with scholars, legal experts and activists. The commission’s mission isn’t to discover new principles but to ground our discussion of human rights in America’s founding principles. <...>
Oppressive regimes like Iran and Cuba have taken advantage of this cacophonous call for “rights,” even pretending to be avatars of freedom. No one believed the Soviet call for collective economic and civil rights was really about freedom. But after the Cold War ended, many human-rights advocates adopted the same approach, appealing to contrived rights for political advantage.

Date: 2019-07-08 11:35 pm (UTC)Реакция конгрессмена Энгела, главы комиссии по международным отношениям Палаты представителей:
“This commission risks undermining many international human-rights norms that the United States helped establish, including LGBTQI rights and other critical human-rights protections around the world. Decades ago, Congress created an entire bureau in the State Department dedicated to defending and reporting on human rights and advising the Secretary and senior diplomats on human rights and democratic development. Now the Secretary wants to make an end run around established structures, expertise, and the law to give preference to discriminatory ideologies that would narrow protections for women, including on reproductive rights; for members of the LGBTQI community; and for other minority groups.
Despite repeated requests to the Department, the Secretary and his staff provided little information on the proposed Commission for more than a month, responding vaguely only at the 11th hour. That’s why I cosponsored a measure that recently passed the House to prohibit funding for this bizarre effort. There is no place for this at our State Department, which should be a leading voice around the world in protecting and promoting human rights for all.”

Редакционная статья Wall Street Journal (которым вместе с Fox News владеет Руперт Мёрдок): “This disdain for people of faith helps explain today’s political polarization and why so many people are willing to support a blunt, avenging force like Donald Trump.

Подключается спикер Пол Райан, ещё один видный католик.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suggested Wednesday that Hillary Clinton should fire top advisers for remarks about Catholics made in hacked emails published by WikiLeaks.
In a statement, Ryan, who is Catholic, accused the Clinton campaign of showing “disdain for the Catholic faith and Christian evangelicals.”
“All Americans of faith should take a long, hard look at this and decide if these are the values we want to be represented in our next president. If Hillary Clinton continues to employ people with biased and bigoted views, it's clear where her priorities lie,” Ryan said.
Ryan's comments echo criticisms from Donald Trump's campaign over the issue, a notable development given Trump's public criticism of the Speaker this week.

Date: 2019-07-09 03:01 am (UTC)The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner got “a little uncomfortable” Thursday evening, Alfred E. Smith V said Friday.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both addressed the crowd at the annual roast and Catholic fundraiser, though the Republican presidential nominee was repeatedly booed for crossing the line.
At one point, Trump remarked that here Clinton “is tonight in public pretending not to hate Catholics,” perhaps drawing his loudest jeers of the night.
“The room did get a little uncomfortable, yeah,” Smith said Friday during an interview on CNN’s “New Day.” “Like I said, you know, that line in a room full of predominantly Catholics, that didn’t go over very well.”
Trump was attempting to seize on information revealed from a trove of hacked emails WikiLeaks has released from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal account.

"WikiLeaks" released another round of emails in which Clinton campaign leaders made fun of the faith.
"Extraordinarily patronizing and insulting to Catholics… If it had been said about the Jewish community, the Islamic community, within 10 minutes there would have been an apology and a complete distancing from those remarks, which hasn't happened yet,” said Cardinal Dolan. “I'm hoping that she's going to distance herself from these remarks by her chief of staff."

Католический архиепископ Филадельфии:
“Of course it would be wonderful for the Clinton campaign to repudiate the content of these ugly WikiLeaks emails. All of us backward-thinking Catholics who actually believe what Scripture and the Church teach would be so very grateful.
In the meantime, a friend describes the choice facing voters in November this way: A vulgar, boorish lout and disrespecter of women, with a serious impulse control problem; or a scheming, robotic liar with a lifelong appetite for power and an entourage riddled with anti-Catholic bigots.”

Date: 2019-07-09 03:16 am (UTC)Подробный анализ от автора книги “American Catholic Voter“ показывает, что именно католические голоса в ключевых штатах обеспечили Трампу перевес:
Although post-election surveys indicate that Donald Trump carried the generic Catholic vote 52 to 48 percent, the real story this year is about Catholics in the economically depressed Rustbelt states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
In those states, aging churchgoing Catholics are disproportionately represented, because their children and grandchildren have moved to more economically prosperous regions.
I have argued for years that if Rustbelt states are closely contested, the one or two percent difference that practicing Catholics can make would determine a presidential election. And that’s exactly what happened on November 8.

В британском комедийном сериале «Vicar of Dibley», в серии 1х05, кажется, местный политик (тори, председатель муниципального совета) идет на переизбрание, но конфликтует со священником (не лейборист, но где-то рядом): «Церкви следует перестать проповедовать хардкорный марксизм с аналоя и влезать своими левыми ручищами в политику. Господь наделил каждого человека собственной волей. Это значит – On your bike». Если считать, что в США тори – это республиканцы, то там события развиваются противоположным образом и республиканцы активно используют Бога в политической кампании.
>> No one believed the Soviet call for collective economic and civil rights was really about freedom. But after the Cold War ended, many human-rights advocates adopted the same approach, appealing to contrived rights for political advantage.
Интересный поворот. Первое предложение возражений не вызывает. Во втором – также есть своя правда на 50%. Права человека – это обоюдоострый меч. Госдеп эффективно им пользовался (не без цинизма), но Трамп теперь хочет избежать порезов со своей стороны? Это он так намекает на центральноамериканских и сирийских беженцев, которым не хочет давать убежище?

Date: 2019-07-09 12:57 pm (UTC)В США церковь отделена от государства - в отличие от той же Англии, где англиканская церковь привязана к государству.
Но на деле это отделение постоянно подвергается испытаниям. В 1954 в клятву на верность стране, которую американские школьники произносят каждый день, были вставлены слова “under God”.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance
В том же году была принята поправка Джонсона, которая запрещает организациям, освобождённым от налогов (включая церкви), заниматься политической деятельностью.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Amendment
Трамп стал первым президентом, кто пообещал от этой поправки избавиться - чтобы священники могли, не стесняясь, агитировать на выборах. В интервью, которое цитируется в посте, он говорит:
And, one of the things I’m very proud of: I was with pastors, ministers, priests, rabbis, on numerous occasions, large numbers; and at the first meeting, I could see I had tremendous support like, beyond. ... And I said, “When are you going to endorse me?” And they said, “We can’t do that.” And I said, “Why can’t you do that?” They said, “We’re not allowed to do that. If we did that, we’d lose our tax-exempt status.”
And I said, “Why is that?” And they told me about the Johnson Amendment, 1954. And I thought about it for a month. And we had a meeting again — 56 different pastors, ministers, etc., and I said, “We’re going to get rid of the Johnson Amendment because our pastors and ministers should have the right to go out and speak their minds.” These are the people we respect, and they’re actually precluded from speaking their mind. If they speak their mind, their whole tax-exempt status can be taken away.
So we’re getting rid … and I think it’s one of the most important things that I’ll be doing for the evangelicals and for religion. So, I think it’s very, very important. So, we’re going to get rid of the Johnson Amendment.
намекает на центральноамериканских и сирийских беженцев, которым не хочет давать убежище?
Помпео говорит намеками, но, насколько я понимаю, речь идёт о том, какие именно государства Госдеп собирается критиковать за нарушения прав человека. Если бы этот список включал в себя Иран и Кубу, но исключал Россию и Саудовскую Аравию, это бы облегчило Помпео его работу.
Since January 2009, Secretary Clinton has directed the Department to champion a comprehensive human rights agenda—one that includes the protection of the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The Department uses its full range of diplomatic and development tools to press for the elimination of violence and discrimination against LGBT people worldwide, particularly those forced to flee their homes or countries.
