Hillary Clinton
Loves Goldman Sachs
by Stephen Lendman
It’s hard imagining
a more despicable candidate for any public office, unthinkable for the nation’s
highest.
Her presidency, if
elected, assures endless wars of aggression, possible confrontation with Russia
and China, letting Wall Street, other corporate bandits and war-profiteers
continue looting the nation’s wealth, as well as likely advancing tyranny to
full-blown, stripping the mask entirely off constitutional governance.
Why any ordinary
American would support a ruthless she-devil committed to undermining the lives,
welfare and futures is shocking to imagine.
A leaked transcript
of Clinton’s June 2013 speech to Goldman Sachs officials and likely guests
gives insight into her deplorable agenda - expressing views not stated on the
stump.
She thanked GS CEO
Lloyd (“I’m doing God’s work") Blankfein, expressing delight “to be back
among…kindred spirits.”
She ludicrously
claimed ordinary Americans couldn’t have futures without GS “leadership and
innovation.”
It makes money the
old-fashioned way. It steals it through fraud, grand theft, market
manipulation, front-running them, scamming investors, bribing political
officials, having its executives in top administration posts, and getting
open-ended low or no interest rate bailouts when needed.
According to
Clinton, productive work by ordinary Americans didn’t make the nation great.
“We all know how misguided that is,” she claimed.
“We know that it’s
really due to your investing, credit, and economic stewardship, that they have
been able to work at all, that they are able to put food on their tables,” she
blustered.
“It’s due to you and
other banking, trading, investment houses that we have an economy that works at
all. You are why we are a truly 21st century economic power.”
“(C)ontrary to
populist, hysterical demonizing…(I) firmly believe that what you do is
essential and critical.”
“You help allocate
our investment, direct our economic development, hedge risks, and create power,
policies, and alliances in ways that make our country stronger, richer, more
powerful, more innovative, competitive, and yes, more ‘democratic.’ “
“You underwrite our
elections and our political process - taking on the huge cost of enabling
democratic dialogue at its biggest, broadest capacity.”
“Your tireless work
adds true value, and without you, we would still be struggling helplessly
against industrial powerhouses in Asia and across the world trying to compete
with them on the level of industry, technology, innovation, and hard work, at
which they would beat us hands down.”
“It’s your financial
innovation, your speculative tools, which allow us new ways of creating value
without sweat or struggle, that gives us the competitive advantage.”
“It’s this vision,
this technological innovation, this financial wizardry, this is what makes
America great and powerful.”
GS paid her $225,000
for this rant, $675,000 for a later one. She rambled on much longer, but you
get the point.
A vote for Clinton
is a vote for Goldman Sachs, other Wall Street bandits, war-profiteers, and
other US predatory crony capitalist robber barons, ripping off the world for
profit - at the expense of ordinary people everywhere struggling to get by.
