A bleak future with Hilary Clinton
08 Nov 2016 at 19:34hrs | Views
At the time of writing, the US elections are still in progress with the expectation that the 'respectable' Hilary Clinton will defeat the crude racist, sexist redneck Donald Trump.
Many liberals are dismayed by the fact that many on the hard left - including most Communists that the writer has spoken to - actually prefer Trump to Clinton. Not because he embodies any noble values, but simply because he seems less likely to start a Third World War, and seems more interested in the internal politics of the USA than in foreign wars.
Is it alarmist to talk about a Third World War or a Cold War?
Let us look at recent developments.
At present 300 000 NATO troops on high alert preparing for the invasion of Russia. Russia, in self-defence, has now developed a bomb big enough to blow up almost the entire island of Great Britain. Russia has also developed a ground breaking Tank. Armata represents the most revolutionary step change in tank design in the last half century. Firstly, it is the first tank designed with an unmanned turret. Secondly, it appears to be the first tank designed from the outset with an active protection system, to intercept incoming anti-tank guided missiles and shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons. The tank is also reckoned to be lighter, faster and lower in profile than Western rivals. Analysis for Western military leaders has suggested Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - all NATO member states - would be overrun by Russian tanks within 60 hours of an invasion. And it is not Russia which is threatening the rest of the world. It is NATO which is threatening Russia. Following the counter-revolution of 1994 and the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, the West has operated a programme of regime change in all of the former Soviet republics. The most obvious was the Nazi coup in Ukraine of 2014 where the democratically elected government of President Yanukovich was removed by a coup led by the Banderovtsy (followers of the wartime Nazi collaborator Stefan Bandera) and other extreme fascist and openly Nazi forces with the support of the USA, Germany, Britain and NATO. The Russian speaking eastern section of the country broke away with the Crimea (which had only become part of Ukraine in the 1950s) voting overwhelmingly to join Russia.
Those whose ancestors had fought the Nazi invasion of 1941 resolutely opposed the Nazi coup and have been made to suffer by the Western former allies. Clinton has been one of the leading warmongers.
At present, it is Russia which is assisting the secular government of Syria to fight off the regime change agenda funded both by the West and the sectarian Sunni governments of the Arabian Peninsula which have armed ISIS, al-Nusra and other Islamic extremists. ISIS went a little too far - but the possession by ISIS of the latest US weaponry - and lots of it - indicates the massive backing which it had externally. It must also be said that only a minority of ISIS and al-Nusra fighters are Syrians. What is also strange is that al-Nusra, a branch of al Qaeda is presented in the western-controlled press as 'moderate' opposition!
One of the most interesting facts is that the ancient Christian population of Syria (about 10%), overwhelmingly support the Syrian government and both President Assad and Syria and President Putin of Russia against the Western and Saudi backed forces which have been systematically exterminating them.
Needless to say, Hilary Clinton has been one of the most vocal supporters of regime change in Syria while Donald Trump has talked about his admiration for President Putin.
Clinton has in fact given full support for Israel and its ruthless programme to remove the Palestinian people from their homeland. Again, the Palestinian Christians (about 15% of the population), the world's oldest Christian population have remained steadfast members of the Palestinian population alongside their Muslim countrymen while Western 'Christians' continue to support the racist Zionist State of Israel.
Again, it was Hilary Clinton as US Secretary of State, together with President Barack Obama, French President Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Cameron who are responsible for the bombing out of existence of Libya, the country with the highest Human Development Index in Africa and the subsequent organized genocide of black Libyans.
Lastly, it was her husband, Bill who initiated the 1998-2003 DRC War, which according to UN sources killed 5.4 million people. He armed Uganda and Rwanda because President Laurent Kabila was re-negotiating the mining contracts for those companies plundering the Congo for rare minerals used in cellphones, aeronautics and the arms industry. President Kabila believed that Congo should benefit from its natural resources: President Clinton thought otherwise.
It was during that conflict, started by her husband, that the 'humanitarian' Hilary Rodham Clinton, started a campaign against rape being used as a weapon of war!
Let us look at how American psychologist L. Michael Tompkins describes a psychopath:
"It's not easy to spot a psychopath. They can be intelligent, charming, and good at mimicking emotions. They may pretend to be interested in you, but in reality, they probably don't care.
"At worst, they're cold, calculating killers... Others...are skilled at climbing their way up the corporate ladder, even if they have to hurt someone to get there.
"They're skilled actors whose sole mission is to manipulate people for personal gain," Some experts see sociopaths as "hot-headed." They act without thinking how others will be affected.
Psychopaths are... "cold-hearted" and calculating. They carefully plot their moves, and use aggression in a planned-out way to get what they want. If they're after more money or status in the office, for example, they'll make a plan to take out any barriers that stand in the way, even if it's another person's job or reputation."
Does this description not fit Hilary Rodham Clinton?
