Ordinary chutzpah
Lately I've been pointing out some egregious examples of infinite super-chutzpah. It's refreshing to see plain ordinary standard-size chutzpah.
Hillary is accusing China of spying.
First, any accusation of spying or hacking is misplaced and insulting to the listeners. Everyone spies and hacks. Every government, corporation, sport team, and talent contestant spies on its opponents. The only limit on spying is available money.
Second, everyone understands that everyone else is spying. If you're doing it, you know your opponents are doing it.
Therefore, the burden is STRICTLY on the recipient. If you don't want spies or hackers to get your info, you need to DEFEND YOUR FUCKING SELF.
And that's where the chutzpah comes in. China has been spying intensely and massively on all American industries, universities and military installations since 1980 for sure, probably since Nixon's ping-pong. By 'massively' I mean 10,000 spies acting under the guise of students and interns and visitors. The Clinton administration did NOT take steps to halt the spying; instead it explicitly opened new channels for spying. Remember Loral? Remember Wen Ho Lee?
Hillary should be thanking China for taking full advantage of the Clinton open-door policy.
I have to assume that somebody in China forgot to make this month's payment to the Clinton machine. That's the only rational explanation for this ingratitude.
