Kamala Harris' Plagiarism Scandal Embarrassing And Deeply Damaging For Her Campaign

 

 

People who watch American politics more closely than the Boggart Bloggers are suggesting the Kamala Harris, campaing is struggling as the presidential candidate's perrformances in live interviews and media events have revealed she flouders when trying to answer even the most straightforward question when there is no teleprompt in front of her. In fact her 'word salads' when a simple short sentence shuld suffice have become a standing joke. 

With Harris already having been caught being 'economical with the truth' several times before she was even elevated to the presidential candidacy  integrity is probably not the first  quality we would identify her with.  

It will come as no surprise to American politics watchers then, that a candidate caught repeatedly on camera switching her accent depending on the audience would have little attachment to sincerity. Still, the claims made by a famous plagiarism hunter about a book written by Harris prior to her term as California attorney general could knock her campaign goal to present herself as a breath of fresh air. Joe Biden, at least, had the good sense to plagiarise from a British politician party leader Neil Kinnock: Harris is alleged to have ripped straight from Wikipedia.

 Harris’ book,  Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer was supposed to meld her personal experiences as a legal expert with the on-the-ground situation in the Californian criminal justice system. It was never intended to be the next great American novel. But that is precisely why allegations that she plagiarised numerous passages in it,  look like being seriously damaging for her. That Harris has been accused of lifting entire passages of her book without attribution from elsewhere, including one lengthy piece from Wikipedia, that threatens to compound her existing reputation for being vacuous. The disgraced former Harvard president Claudine Gay might have been sloppy, in plagiarising easily verifiable passages from other people's work but Harris simply looks lazy and lacking ideas.

(In her other book - tracing her Jamaican roots, Harris lies about her ancestry to make out she has black Jamaican roots, and avoid anyone finding out her great x 4 grandfather was a white Jamaican slave owner of Irish origins. Assumed Gaelicness is at least something she has in ommon with current president Paddy O'Biden and recent predecessors Jock McTrump and Paddy O'Bama. )

Why ancestry matters to the Americans so much is baffling to Europeans; Martin Luther King was absolutely right on this, and therefore out of step with the modern USA. Candidates should be selected on the basis of the content of her character and abilities, not the colour of thir skin or whatever ethnic roots they lay claim to; and voted for on the same basis. The same should be true of DJT.

And therefore, lets be honest, there should probably be two different contenders for President. Too late now, though.

It has been obvious for years that Harris is way too insubstantial to hold any senior position, in fact, she seems to be actually quite thick. Why the Democrat party ever promoted her is a mystery. Surely they have better candidates? The fact that she is where she is clearly demonstrates the reality that a U S president is no more than a front, with the real leaders being back - room deal makers of Capitol Hill and the shadowy and unaccountable deep state operators. They want to stop Trump because he has his own ideas (even if the way he expresses them often do not make much sense,) and intends to pursue them.  

Everyone knows instinctively that Harris has been a mere placeholder for the machine behind her ever since her political career was launched as a gratuity for intereting things she id for Willie Brown's brown willie (allegedly - although former San Francisco mayor Brown has not denied it). 

The office of President, like that of Britain's Prime Minister, like the currencies, have been increasingly devalued  since the turn of last century. The Uniparty machine doesn't even put much effort anymore to hide it. All the institutions are captured - the permanent state - perhaps with only a handful of billionaire - psychopath oligarchs pulling the strings.

Swapping one leader for the other is irrelevant to the machine - the 'leaders' are owned. Harris will be no different than the one suffering severe cognitive decline. Starmer, 100 days into his term of office and already best by scandal anf having to renege on campaign promises, will be no different to Sunak or Johnson. Occasionally we the voters will be thrown a morsel to placate the public mood hi;e the relentless grind towards global government will continue.
