Foreword by the Saker: to be honest, I have not been
following the latest presidential race in the USA. Simply put, I have
long lost any hope to see any change come from any election in the USA.
Changing the puppet makes no difference as long as the puppeteer remains the
same one. Still, I think that there are at least two main puppeteers in
the USA: what I call the “Old Anglo” guard and the Neocons. And while
these two agree on a lot, there are some real differences between them.
For all my loathing for Obama, I have to admit that he generally has kept the
Neocons in check, at least one some crucial matters such as the deal with Iran
or the war on Syria. It is because of this awareness of the difference
between extremely bad and absolutely unspeakably horrible that I make any
difference at all, however minor, between the current presidential
candidates. And when I speak of “absolutely unspeakably horrible” I, of
course, mean that thoroughly evil and maniacal bitch Hillary Clinton who,
frankly, outright frightens me. Of all the people seriously thinking that
that Russia will not dare to stand up to the AngloZionist Empire, she is, in my
opinion, by far the most dangerous and thus the most likely to test that
hypothesis. So while “thoroughly evil and maniacal bitch” might sound
harsh, I quite literally mean that she is breathing evil and hubris and that
she is a “bitch” in the colloquial sense of the word. God help us all and
have mercy on us if she becomes the next President. If that happens I
would consider the risks of a nuclear war with Russia as high.
When I saw the following article at our friends at the
Greanville Post I knew that I had to repost it here. While hardly a proof
of anything in the sense of legal evidentiary rules, this article offers a
fascinating insight into the depraved and wicked mind of Hillary Clinton.
It also fits perfectly with her infamous “we came, we saw, he died”:
So yes, at this point, I would prefer *anybody* to
this “thoroughly evil and maniacal bitch”. If she gets elected my last
hope will be for a coup by the JCS.

UPDATE: I just go an email which said the following:
Maybe you need to research a bit more the validity of
this supposed second letter of Hillary’s. It seems that the road leads to:

I did not find this letter on the Guardian, or any reliable site.
So – CAVEAT EMPTOR (if I found out more I
will let you know).
Hillary Clinton and Haim Saban in June 2015. News, Reviews, and Views.
An almost perfect measure of the decay of democratic
values in American politics is found in a letter from Hillary Clinton to Haim
Saban, a wealthy American-Israeli and a major contributor to the Democrats. It
is a letter whose only purpose is to elicit funds, ingratiating its author to
the recipient by condemning the perfectly legitimate right of free people to
choose boycotting Israel over its appalling behaviors. The letter is
disturbing in some of its views and characterizations, but it has been reviewed
and remarked upon by many, as here.
We were not supposed to know this, but there are
actually two letters. The first letter was released by its recipient, but the
second letter was intended only for its recipient’s eyes. Somehow, it managed
to be leaked to The Guardian, although in searching the Internet to discover
just what happened it seems Google has done a pretty good job of sweeping over
the trail.
It is the second letter, the one we were not supposed
to see, which goes beyond being disturbing.
I am not exaggerating when I characterize it as
something comparable to words which might have been written by… well, choose
the name of any grisly dictator, but Adolph Hitler’s would have to be the one
jumping to the minds of most people. This second letter’s words are absolutely
chilling. If you think I’m exaggerating, here are Hillary’s words:
“Quite frankly, Israel didn’t teach Hamas a harsh
enough lesson last year. True to form, Obama was too hard on our democratic
ally, and too soft on our Islamofascist foe.
“As president, I will give the Jewish state all the
necessary military, diplomatic, economic and moral support it needs to truly
vanquish Hamas – and if that means killing 200,000 Gazans, then so be it.
“We realist Democrats understand that collateral
damage is an unavoidable by-product of the War on Terror, and me being a
mother, grandmother and tireless children’s rights advocate does not mean that
I will flinch even one iota in allowing Israel to obliterate every last
school-cum-rocket launching pad in Gaza. Those who allow their children to be
used as human shields for terrorists deserve to see them buried under one-ton
bombs.”
Let’s just analyze a few of the more unacceptable and
repugnant statements in this letter.
“Israel didn’t teach Hamas a harsh enough lesson…”
In 2014, Israel killed over 500 children plus another
1,700 adults in Gaza, and that came after another invasion, 2008, and a series
of operations beginning in 2006, which saw Israel kill more than another 1,500
Palestinians. It should be noted that the Palestinian population is a young
one, so a disproportion of children is always at risk in any attack. We had
reliable reports that Israeli soldiers grabbed Palestinian children to hold in
front of them in a number of instances. We also had first-hand reports of families
being targeted.
Over this period, Israel has maintained a brutal
blockade of Gaza, which in its first inception included an actual calorie count
for the amount of food which could just keep a person alive, an idea we might
want to credit to Himmler. International pressure brought an end to that aspect
of the blockade, but even today the Palestinians cannot get cement to repair
their sanitation and homes. Israel also launched its infamous Gaza flotilla
raid in 2010, seizing half a dozen ships attempting to bring aid to Gaza and
killing 10 crew members, all of them unarmed.
I remind readers just what Gaza is. It is essentially
a huge refugee camp, a place where Palestinians huddled for protection from
Israel’s 1948 terror campaign against residents of ancient villages long since
bulldozed out of existence. Today, surrounded by fences and guards and towers
with automated, radar-operated machine-guns, Gaza resembles a vast outdoor
prison, or, if you will, a Bantustan or concentration camp. Even its fishermen
are allowed to go only a short distance into the sea before being attacked by
Israeli gun boats. Periodically, Israel does dirty work like cut its power or
foul its water. Recently, a huge swath of land around its perimeter was sprayed
with herbicides, cutting food supplies and insuring future malformation of
children, just as we see in Vietnam as a result of America’s use of Agent
Orange.
“…our democratic ally…”
Israel is certainly one of the world’s strangest
“democracies.” About half the people living under its rule do not want to live
under its rule, have no votes, have absolutely no rights, and are treated in
the most abusive manner. Even their homes are not their own with Israel
periodically seizing them for its own purposes.
Then we have the fact that only Jews are supposed to
live in “the Jewish state.”
Only Jews are welcomed. Indeed only Jews are accepted. Other kinds of refugees are turned away. There is a government program underway right now to clean out the Knesset, Israel’s legislature, of its few Arab members. These are the representatives of Arabs trapped in what became Israel in 1948 and reluctantly granted citizenship, although in daily practice and in many laws, Arab citizens are not deemed as full citizens, identity papers are stamped and they are subjected to hearing regular demagogic demands that they all be pushed across the Jordan River and out of the country.

If you consider Israel a genuine democracy, then you
must also view the American Confederacy or South Africa under the National
Party as democracies. They both held elections and had legislatures and the
dress-up appearances of democracy. It was just that huge numbers of those
countries’ people could not vote and could not own certain property and had no
rights.
Israel’s so-called democracy has other serious
impairments, including a structure for the role of money in politics that much
resembles America’s. It is at best a plutocracy. Millions pour in to favored
candidates like Netanyahu from sources like American billionaire Sheldon
Adelson.
Israel has another highly undemocratic characteristic,
and that is its aversion to democracy in countries or groups anywhere near it.
It always has supported happily tyrants like Mubarak in Egypt and has worked
assiduously to get what was a democratic organization like Hamas declared and
treated as some kind of terrorists.
If Israel is, as Israelis like to say, the Middle
East’s only democracy, I think we can be glad there are not more such
democracies.
“…our Islamofascist foe…”
Since when are the Palestinians – who, as is often
ignored, include both Islamic and Christian people – “our foe”? I don’t recall
them threatening or attacking anyone? Women and children and hard-working men
on farms and in shops are our foe? People without even the semblance of a
military?
Since when are they “Islamofascists”? They are just
people driven out of their own ancient homes and farms by groups of well-armed
newcomers from Europe and America. And what is an “Islamofascist,” beyond a
slur term coined in Israel for people who are resented, hated, and abused
merely for the fact of their very existence? We did briefly see in the last
assault on Gaza how ugly things get in Israel, something generally kept from
our eyes, with video of Israelis in lawn chairs on the heights watching homes being
bombed and cheering as though it were the home team scoring a goal at a
football match.
“I will give the Jewish state all the necessary
military, diplomatic, economic and moral support it needs to truly vanquish
Hamas…”
What in God’s name does that mean? America literally
pours military, security, and technical assistance into Israel. There is
continuous typhoon of it hitting Israel’s shores. And how would more help
“truly vanquish Hamas”? What would be the shape of that? A couple of
thermonuclear weapons lobbed into Gaza? But Israel already has its own
thermonuclear weapons, albeit through lying and deceit and even theft and
against the intent of all international law and organization, although with the
secret contrivance and acceptance of a couple of generations of politicians
like Hillary.
Why should Hamas be vanquished? It was elected to
office in a clean election, likely cleaner than most American and Israeli
elections. But I forget, Israel hates having democracies anywhere near its
borders. It prefers dealing with – when it deigns even to speak to its
neighbors – men like Mahmoud Abbas, who last legally held office in 2009 and
has unilaterally extended his own term as President ever since, and who is
completely ineffectual in his relations with Israel.
We shouldn’t forget that after Hamas’s
internationally-supervised election, Israeli troops raced into Gaza and
illegally arrested many of its elected officials. It also publicly threatened
the leader’s assassination. Funny, but I don’t recall things going the other
way from this supposedly terrorist organization. After all, it earned the
“official” designation as terrorist from politicians like Hillary Clinton or
Newt Gingrich or Dick Armey working to keep those pro-Israeli campaign funds
flowing in.
All of the horrors of invasions, bombardments, and
blockades came after that simple election. Israel hates Hamas because it does
not do exactly as it is ordered to do. Always the excuse is used that Hamas
won’t recognize Israel as “the Jewish state,” but that view deliberately hides
many legitimate issues. In conflict or disagreement, countries typically do not
extend formal recognition. The United States has done this countless times,
including for the last half century with Cuba. It did it for years with the Soviet
Union.
But Israel’s case is not just a matter of formal
recognition. There is a subtle but immensely important difference. It wants
recognition as “the Jewish state.” What would happen to those million or so
Palestinians who hold Israeli passports and are now at least nominally
Israelis? Forced marches across the Jordan River? What happens to the many
important Palestinian claims on Israel? What claims do you think a non-Jew can
have in “a Jewish state” under purely Jewish courts and laws? What happens to
the entire West Bank, which exists under Israeli occupation and is regularly
predated by sudden demands for non-Jewish properties? This is no simple issue
as Israel repeatedly and tiresomely insists that it is.
You are not a terrorist because you refuse to accept
Israel’s terms: you are a people looking out for your own interests, something
all people have the right and need to do. Israel always insists that this
acceptance come before any other matters can be dealt with, and it then turns
to the press and says, “See, I told you, they are terrorists.” Simply
absurd, expecting people to just lie down and let you do whatever you want to
them!
“…and if that means killing 200,000 Gazans, then so be
it…”
Only a person so exceedingly biased towards Israel as
to be effectively blind would fail to recognize the tone of those words. They
could easily have been written by Adolph Hitler or one his charming goons such
as Heinrich Himmler or Joseph Goebbels.
In the churches and schools where I was brought up,
such speech could never be countenanced, yet here it is, written by a woman who
was Secretary of State now wants to be President. She obviously knows enough to
keep this morally-filthy language secret, hence her method of the second
letter. So, even in her, maybe there is some little remaining sense of shame?
But I doubt it because she is writing these ghastly words for what purpose? To
ask for a large amount of money.
Now, if you wrote words like that in Israel or in a
number of countries, only changing the name of who are to be killed in mass,
you would most certainly go to prison, besides being labelled a terrorist for
life. Apparently, when Hillary learned that this letter leaked, she made the
excuse that there had been a typo, that it should have read “20,000.” Her moral
and ethical organs are so charred and twisted that she actually thinks 20,000
people killed sounds okay, just fine, maybe ten times as good as killing
200,000?
But of course, Hillary is grotesquely lying even in
this excuse, as she has lied innumerable times over her adult life, an ongoing
stage play we have all enjoyed in the news: watching her defend her predatory
husband for the sake of future political success, watching her
politically-motivated statement of being shot at in Bosnia in 1996, a claim
almost instantly proved fraudulent by the press, watching her squirm and lie
about what really happened during the murderous events at Benghazi, and
watching her lie as she is investigated about using her private server for top
secret material as Secretary of State.
“Those who allow their children to be used as human
shields for terrorists deserve to see them buried under one-ton bombs”
This statement is so sick and twisted, it is
frightening. It begs the whole genuine issue of whether any Palestinian ever
did this, while we know from witnesses that Israeli soldiers did. Just what is
it here that we are talking about where children are said to have been used as
shields? A full-fledged invasion by heavily-armed troops, supported with tanks
and artillery and fighter planes into a densely-crowded civilian area, often
aptly described as an open-air prison for a million and a half souls. How could
children avoid becoming targets? In the poor places of the Middle East with
their high birth rates, children are a greater portion of the population than
in advanced countries. Only a genuine monster would launch such an invasion,
and only an equal monster would defend it.
To my mind, this damnable behavior of Israel’s could
be compared to, say, the Detroit Police Department, supported by the Michigan
National Guard, invading the ghettos of Detroit to capture a few criminals and
killing literally thousands of innocent people in the process and leaving the
place a pile of rubble. The whole world would be appalled. But even that
comparison is inadequate. Israel was not chasing criminals. What Israel was
really hoping to do was murder the leaders of Hamas, a legitimate political
party. But even if Hamas were not a legitimate party, Israel’s act is
comparable to Detroit’s police and National Guard killing thousands to try
getting a few members of the Black Panther Party in the 1970s.
We’ve surmised that things like this letter go on in
private because we see our politicians countenancing mass murder and we see the
entire Middle East in flames owing to the same cause. But having the paper in
hand is another matter. For instance, we know Newt Gingrich received the best
part of $20 million for his last nomination campaign from billionaire Sheldon
Adelson and proceeded to make campaign speeches about there being “no such
thing as a Palestinian.”
We know former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, a man
whose career was well financed by special interests, actually said in the late
part of his career that Israel should just sweep all the Palestinians out of
the country.
We know that former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright said in response to a question about 500,000 deaths of children in
Iraq, “We think the price is worth it,” and does anyone wonder why Albright not
only strongly supports Hillary but recently spoke of “a special place in hell
for women” who didn’t support Hillary?
It tells us a great deal of the lengths to which an
American politician will go to secure large sources of funds. It tells us too
something about her relationship with the recipient that Hillary believed she
could freely address him in such an appalling fashion. Finally, it confirms
everyone’s worst fears about the Israel Lobby and the extremes to which its
supporters are prepared to go.
We all know there is a huge amount of
behind-the-scenes, dirty dealing in American politics, but not just in
politics, in foreign affairs. There is no other explanation for the murky,
bloody swamp into which America’s government has towed the country. America has
been continuously at war for a quarter century. It has killed great numbers of
people and destroyed whole societies. And none of those people threatened the
United States, not even the Taleban who were arbitrarily and without proof held
responsible for the events of 9/11.
Virtually all of it relates directly or indirectly to
Israel and making the Middle East comfortable for a state which itself never
hesitates to threaten, attack, kill, imprison, torture to gain its objectives,
its objectives being to enlarge itself far beyond its original accepted
boundaries, to reduce the native Palestinian population of millions to such miserable
discomfort that they flee their homes, and to assure itself of hegemony
throughout the region, seeing independent-minded leaders like Assad or Gadhafi
literally murdered and their countries torn apart.
It is a program which parallels closely historical
examples which none of us has been taught to admire or approve, historical
examples which have caused great wars and massive human misery. We have
established some of our greatest international institutions precisely out of
the wreckage of history with the aim of not letting it happen again, but today
every one of these institutions is compromised by American pressure on Israel’s
behalf, the work of corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton.
So it is happening again, although on a smaller scale
– though I wouldn’t want the job of explaining to the people of Syria, Iraq,
Libya, Egypt, and a number of other places that their desolation and misery are
on a smaller scale.
The present Secretary General doesn’t even peep at
America’s many appalling acts. Past Secretaries General who managed to get
elected despite their opposition to American imperialism – an example was
Boutros Boutros-Ghali – were removed in behind-the-scenes plots. Madeleine
Albright for example won her State Department spurs arranging just that kind of
thing. Combinations of threats and bribes do the job nicely, and, of course,
the UN hasn’t forgotten the long period of time the United States simply
refused to pay its treaty-required dues, a quarter of the institution’s budget.
But ordinary Americans and others rarely get even a
peek at any of the details going into the shaping of their world. Here is one
small instance where they do, and it is a telling one.
