Hillary : The Fourth Episode

  • This post is titled "Hillary : The Fourth Episode"
  • Yes people I have completed watching the fourth and last episode in the series "Hillary" which is based on the life story of Hillary Clinton.
  • I will say the fourth episode is the most important episode in the series.
  • Fourth episode brings to conclusion the story of Hillary Clinton.
  • Basically the fourth episode plugs the gaps.
  • We know Hillary was the First Lady when Bill Clinton was President.
  • What did she do after that?
  • The fourth episode plugs the gaps.
  • What I observed from fourth episode I will try to list out below:
    • Hillary became Senator from New York.
    • In fact when 9-11 happened, Hillary was a Senator from New York.
    • Maybe she was aware that 9-11 was an insider job maybe she wasn't.
    • Compared to Bill Clinton who used to work only with Democrats, Hillary worked with a wide spectrum of leaders across the board.
    • She says she is particularly grateful to George W Bush who gave 20 billion Dollars to New York upon request by Hillary to rebuild New York's economy after 9-11 attacks.
    • In 2008, she lost to Barack Obama as experts point out she was too "insulated" and was not very "open" like Obama was.
    • But she was happy for Obama she says in the documentary.
    • She said that people were not willing to accept a woman as President. The fact that a black man became President was good enough for her.
    • Then she became Secretary of State and she loved the position as she got to travel 112 countries and logged more than 957,000 miles of travel in the process.
    • In fact she wanted to travel to places where there were no visit by Secretary of State ever.
    • She visited Pakistan six times.
    • Also visited Belarus and Yemen.
    • But she angered Putin and that was a mistake according to experts.
    • George Bush had said that when you look to Putin eyes you can see his soul. Hillary said you see Putin eyes and you see a KGB agent. 
    • Following that Putin said Hillary had no brain.
    • Hillary actively pursued "regime change" in Russia. Elections held in Fall 2011 in Russia were not free and fair according to Hillary.
    • That encouraged "dissenters" in Russia to protest.
    • Putin then called Hillary as she was the one encouraging "riots".
    • Putin knew she was extremely smart and so he made efforts to ignore her and hence backed Trump as Trump was like a Putin puppet a fact which Trump denied during the Presidential debates.
    • Even in Benghazi where an US Ambassador and two more American people lost their lives, Hillary was called to answer, she says she is no more responsible than she is for other Ambassadors as there are 270 US ambassadors across the world and she cant be held personally accountable for their actions.
    • The US Ambassador traveled to Benghazi on his own accord.
    • I thought maybe Russia or paid mercenaries organized the attack at benghazi, we will never know.
    • Libya was war torn anyway, particularly due to Hillary one of the chief architect and organizers of so called "Arab Spring", who knows who attacked.
    • She had to leave office of Secretary of State in 2013.
    • And her legacy was marred by Benghazi attack.
    • She also decided that she would run for President in 2016 after Obama
    • She thought it would be a cakewalk and she could become President by thumping majority.
  • But then the results were out and Hillary lost to Trump.
  • That was saddest day of her life probably.
  • Even while watching the episode I felt like crying.
  • But then Obama called Hillary and asked her to concede.
  • Hillary said she would do it the next day and she did but before that she had to call Trump which she must have done.
  • That was the end of journey for her.
  • She says and the episode shows that her actions opened the path for women around the world including United States.
  • She says there were now more US Senators and women running for public office than there ever were in United States.
  • And there were six Democratic women Presidential contenders for 2020.
  • A lot of that credit goes to Hillary.
  • Hillary's punchline was "Women's right are human rights" a fact which was followed around the world.
  • She had said the same in 1995 where there was a huge multi-nation Human Rights related event attended by hundreds of delegates from around the world held in China.
  • The speech she gave there has been followed by women around the world as Testament and Template for women's rights.
  • Copies of her speech in 1995 were made into booklet and distributed around the world.
  • She opened the path for a lot of women and that is her achievement.
