John Pilger: Why Hillary Clinton Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump - New Matilda
In
the 2008 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton threatened to “totally
obliterate” Iran with nuclear weapons. As Secretary of State under
Obama, she participated in the overthrow of the democratic government of
Honduras. Her contribution to the destruction of Libya in 2011 was
almost gleeful. When the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, was publicly
sodomised with a knife – a murder made possible by American logistics –
Hillary Clinton gloated over his death: “We came, we saw, he died.”
One of Clinton’s closest allies is Madeleine Albright, the former
Secretary of State, who has attacked young women for not supporting
“Hillary”. This is the same Madeleine Albright who infamously celebrated
on TV the death of half a million Iraqi children as “worth it”.
Among Clinton’s biggest backers are the Israel lobby and the arms
companies that fuel the violence in the Middle East. She and her husband
have received a fortune from Wall Street. And yet, she is about to be
ordained the women’s candidate, to see off the evil Trump, the official
demon. Her supporters include distinguished feminists: the likes of
Gloria Steinem in the US and Anne Summers in Australia.
