Hillary Clinton — The International Neocon Warmonger
As the National Journal reported in 2014, even
the pathetically weak anti-war left is not ready to reconcile with
Hillary given her warmongering as Secretary of State. And with good
reason. Scratching just lightly beneath the surface of Hillary Clinton’s
career reveals the empirical evidence of her historic support for
aggressive interventions around the globe.
Beginning with Africa, Hillary defended the 1998
cruise missile strike on the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in the
Sudanese capital of Khartoum, destroying the largest producer of cheap
medications for treating malaria and tuberculosis and provided over 60%
of available medicine in Sudan. In 2006 she supported sending United
Nations troops to Darfur with logistical and technical support provided
by NATO forces. Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi was outspoken in his
condemnation of this intervention, claiming it was not committed out of
concern for Sudanese people but “…for oil and for the return of
colonialism to the African continent.”
This is the same leader who was murdered in the
aftermath of the 2011 NATO bombing of Libya; an attack promoted and
facilitated with the eager support of Mrs. Clinton. In an infamous CBS
news interview, said regarding
this international crime: “We came, we saw, he died.” As Time magazine
pointed out in 2011, the administration understood removing Qaddafi from
power would allow the terrorist cells active in Libya to run rampant in
the vacuum left behind. Just last month the New York Times reported
that Libya has indeed become a
terrorist safe haven and failed state— conducive for exporting radicals
through “ratlines” to the conflict against Assad in Syria.
Hillary made prompt use of the ratlines for
conflicts in the Middle East. In the summer of 2012, Clinton privately
worked with then CIA director and subversive bonapartist David Petraeus
on a proposal for providing arms and training to death squads to be used
to topple Syria just as in Libya. This proposal was ultimately struck
down by Obama, reported the New York Times in 2013, but constituted one
of the earliest attempts at open military support for the Syrian death
squads.
Her voting
record on intervening in Afghanistan and Iraq is well known and she
also has consistently called for attacking Iran. She even told Fareed
Zakaria the State Department was involved “behind the scenes” in Iran’s
failed 2009 Green Revolution. More recently in Foreign Policy magazine
David Rothkopf wrote on the subject of the Lausanne nuclear accord,
predicting a “snap-back” in policy by the winner of the 2016 election to
the foreign policy in place since the 1980s. The title of this article?
“Hillary Clinton is the Real Iran Snap-Back.” This makes Hillary the
prime suspect for a return to the madcap Iranian policies that routinely
threaten the world with a World War 3 scenario.
Hillary Clinton is not only actively aggressing
against Africa and the Middle East. She was one of the loudest
proponents against her husband’s hesitancy over the bombing of Kosovo,
telling Lucina Frank: “I urged him to bomb,” even if it was a unilateral
action.
While no Clinton spokesperson responded to a request by the Washington Free Beacon regarding her stance on Ukraine, in paid speeches
she mentioned “putting more financial support into the Ukrainian
government”. When Crimea decided to choose the Russian Federation over
Poroshenko’s proto-fascist rump state, Hillary anachronistically called
President Putin’s actions like “what Hitler did in the ‘30s.” As a
leader of the bumbled ”reset” policy towards Russia, Hillary undoubtedly
harbors some animus against Putin and will continue the destabilization
project ongoing in Ukraine.
Not content with engaging in debacles in Eastern
Europe, she has vocally argued for a more aggressive response to what
she called the “rollback of democratic development and economic openness
in parts of Latin America.” This indicates her willingness to allow the
continuation of CIA sponsored efforts at South American destabilization
in the countries of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil.
It is one of the proud prerogatives of the Tax
Wall Street Party to push out into the light the Wall Street and
foundation-funded Democrats. The final blow to Hillary’s clumsy façade
comes directly from arch-neocon Robert Kagan. Kagan worked as a foreign
policy advisor to Hillary along with his wife, Ukraine madwoman Victoria
Nuland, during Hillary’s term as Secretary of State. He claimed in the
New York Times that his view of American foreign policy is best
represented in the “mainstream” by the foreign policy of Hillary
Clinton; a foreign policy he obviously manipulated or outright crafted.
Kagan stated: “If she pursues a policy which we think she will
pursue…it’s something that might have been called neocon, but clearly
her supporters are not going to call it that; they are going to call it
something else.” What further reason could any sane person need to
refute Hillary? A vote for Hillary is a vote for the irrational return
to war.
