THE VIOLENT CRIMES AND SHADY DEALINGS OF HILLARY CLINTON









HERE ONLY EXTRACTS

At the end of the year in which Hillary Clinton left her position as Secretary of State, 2013, the Obama regime’s USA was voted, in Win/Gallup’s global poll, as the greatest threat to peace in the world, with the runner-up, US-ally Pakistan, receiving three times fewer votes, and Russia receiving twelve times fewer votes. [ Remember : War mongerism is a crime against Peace. ]



This was largely due to multiple international crimes committed by the US, such as aggressive bombings and subversions of elected governments, which were co-schemed and staunchly advocated by Hillary Clinton, and ultimately ordered and perpetrated by Barack Obama.
..
Historian Roger Morris, PhD, in his best-selling examination of the Clintons and their sleazy and criminal deeds along their rise to power, finds that the Democratic Party, although in his opinion the “lesser of evils”, is “equally bereft, corrupt, and unable or unwilling to face itself.”
..
In the spirit of hope and change, [HERE IS] Hillary Clinton’s violent crimes and shady dealings:

 ..
  • Hillary Clinton supported, in the 1980s, the US-proxy terrorist insurgency in Nicaragua known as the Contras.

  • Of the corruption of the ‘Clinton Foundation’, Ken Silverstein notes in Harper’s Magazine: “…the Clintons have used their foundation for crass profiteering and influence peddling. If the Justice Department and law enforcement agencies do their jobs, the foundation will be closed and its current and past trustees, who include Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton, will be indicted.

  • Hillary Clinton supported aggressive US invasions of or attacks against Haiti (1994, US-backed overthrow of Haitian democracy), Bosnia (1995 – see below. At the end of 2013, nearly half of Bosnia and Herzegovina – 49% – viewed US as greatest threat to world peace, with no other country coming close), and Kosovo (1999 – see below).

  • Hillary Clinton supported the Bill Clinton regime’s illegal bombing of Yugoslavia. Amnesty International released a report which stated that NATO forces targeted civilian Serbian radio, killing civilians. The bombing caused great damage to local civilians, including death, injury, severe pollution, including through the US use of munitions made out of radioactive nuclear waste, called “depleted uranium”. Well known to Hillary Clinton, similar or worse crimes than those cited by the US as its pretext for bombing Yugoslavia were simultaneously being carried out by the US itself and its clients/allies including Turkey, Indonesia, and Israel, with direct US participation. For example, the Clinton regime supplied 80% of the weapons to Turkey to be used to ethnically cleanse the region of Kurds, and US arms shipments to Turkey increased during the height of Turkey’s atrocities, which involvedevery conceivable kind of torture and massacre”.

  • In 2000, Hillary Clinton said she favored continuing the illegal US embargo against Cuba. Ricardo Alarcon, PhD, calls the illegal embargo the most “prolonged genocide in history”. Evo Morales, president of Bolivia, has said of that blockade that the “U.S government practices genocide against the Cuban people”. The blockade is opposed every year in a UN vote by every country in the world, aside from the US, Israel, and sometimes the “US territories” of Marshall Islands (which were largely vaporized and contaminated by US nuclear/human experimentation) and Palau.


  • In 2001, Clinton called John Walker Lindh, a former US soldier who was tortured in US custody, a traitor for “supporting” the Taliban (see here).  She made this statement long before his trial (an ethical violation Obama also committed regarding Chelsea Manning). However, research has revealed no record of Clinton condemning as traitors any of the many US government officials or corporate executives who, on record and openly under her husband’s regime, supported the Taliban: The US supported the efforts of oil company Unocal to cooperate with the Taliban to build a natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan. Unocal’s pipeline project would have brought natural gas from Turkmenistan to Pakistan by crossing through Afghanistan—a route purportedly preferable to alternative routes through Russia or Iran. Unocal CEO John Imle estimated that the company spent between $15 and $20 million on its Central Asia gas pipeline (CentGas) project, including on efforts to lobby the Taliban. As Obama’s sec. of state, Hillary Clinton again tried to get the Taliban to cooperate on the gas pipeline.

  • Later, Hillary Clinton offered her personal guarantee of US government backing to Chevron to increase Chevron’s credibility in pursuing the Afghanistan gas pipeline project: “…both Chevron and Exxon-Mobil have expressed interest in TAPI [the pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan].”  However, Turkmenistan wanted a firm signal that the US government was committed.  That signal came from Hillary Clinton.

  • As Secretary of State, Clinton backed a major escalation of the US invasion of Afghanistan. With Clinton’s encouragement, Obama escalated the invasion from 30,000 to 100,000 soldiers or more. Of the 2,300 American soldiers who have died in the 12-year-old Afghan War, about 1,670 (or more than 70 percent) have died since Obama took office. Many were killed in the surge Gates, Petraeus and Clinton pushed for.

Hillary Clinton supported and voted for the illegal US invasion of Iraq, a major crime of aggression and terrorism. The invasion resulted in the most deadly war for journalists in history, destabilized the entire region, inspired and allowed the creation and rise of ISIS, and has directly and indirectly killed somewhere from a million to 2 million or more people. On October 11, 2002, Clinton voted in favor of the invasion, committing the “supreme crime”, as defined by the US. “Former administration officials also tell TIME that Clinton was an advocate for maintaining a residual troop force after the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq… ” – TIME. At the height of the illegal US occupation of Iraq, the US bolstered its presence with private contractors. Even when the military began leaving, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was openly talking about establishing a private, State Department-run “army” of contractors to fight in Iraq.

Hillary Clinton supports torture, including freezing temperatures (inducing hypothermia) and waterboarding, which the US classes as a war crime but does not punish unless perpetrated by competitors (see here): “This procedure [waterboarding] is recognized internationally as a cruel and inhuman method [of] torture, and the US itself sentenced a Japanese soldier to 15 years in prison on war crimes charges for using the technique [of waterboarding] against an American prisoner of war. It has been banned by US law and explicitly repudiated by the military in the latest Army Field Manual.”

Hillary Clinton supports the illegal annexation of Palestine by Israel, which is opposed by the vast majority of states in the world (usually about 165) and supported only by the US, Israel, and a handful of other countries (usually about 5 to 7) including five US-dependent island nations.  Israel’s illegal bulldozing of Palestinian homes and replacement of them with Israeli homes went up over 75% in 2013. (More info.)

Hillary Clinton supported the US-backed Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006. We are here to show solidarity and support for Israel. We will stand with Israel, because Israel is standing for American values as well as Israeli ones.” – Hillary Clinton. The vast majority of the Lebanese killed were civilians; UNICEF estimates that 30% of those killed were children under the age of 13.

  • Hillary Clinton supported the illegal US bombing of Libya, which destroyed the country. ISIS has now taken control of large areas. According to The New York Times, the deciding push to commit aggression against Libya came from Hillary Clinton. We came, we saw, he died.” – Hillary Clinton responding to the news of Muammar Gaddafi’s execution at the hands of US-backed rebels. IN September 11, 2012 came the  attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, it cames with an ironic twist: the tragic episode might never have occurred [obviously would never have occurred] had Clinton not supported” illegally bombing Libya. – TIME

  • Hillary Clinton supports aggression against Syria, both overt and covert, with the goal of illegally overthrowing the UN-member government there: US and Saudi-backed fighters have killed hundreds of thousands in Syria. “She pressed Obama to arm the Syrian rebels, and later endorsed air strikes against the Assad regime”, while the US lied, saying it knew Assad had carried out chemical attacks.  She also supported US bombing of the Syrian government, “apparently undaunted by polling that showed more than 70 percent of Americans opposed to military action.” (Quote from Time). Clinton teamed up with David Patraeus, John McCain and Lindsey Graham to push for arming terrorists in Syria.

  • Hillary Clinton backed a fascist military dictatorship in a coup to overthrow Honduras’s elected government in 2009.  The coup, condemned by the entire world (except the US) in the UN General Assembly, succeeded “because of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama”. “When a fascist putsch … overthrew at gunpoint the popular progressive democratic President of Honduras on 28 June 2009, and all countries of the world except Israel and the United States promptly declared the junta-installed government illegitimate, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to join all other nations in rejecting the fascist regime… Hillary Clinton supported the fascists.”.  “Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State… displayed a record of carrying out the policies that were being promoted by her lobbyist friends, when she did everything possible, early in President Obama’s first term, to support U.S. funding for the fascist junta in Honduras that perpetrated a coup d’etat on 28 June 2009 overthrowing that nation’s popular progressive democratically elected President. SEE Documentary on the coup.

HER FORTUNE
..
WE ALSO hear from America’s premier magazine for the corporate wealthy, Fortune, whose recent cover features a picture of Clinton and the headline: “Business Loves Hillary”.” “Back to 2013: In October, the office of billionaire George Soros, who has long worked with US foreign policy to destabilize governments not in love with the empire, announced that “George Soros is delighted to join more than one million Americans in supporting Ready for Hillary.”
..
HER WAR MONGERISM
..
According to TIME, though it seems like a pro-Democrat-biased claim, Hillary Clinton may have to defend her militant extremism against some less-hawkish Republican opponents.  For example “a GOP nominee could bash Clinton for defying public opinion [and committing war crimes against] Afghanistan, Syria and Libya.”. In August, the New Republic asked the war and torture advocate Republican senator John McCain whom he would support in a matchup between Democrat Hillary Clinton and the Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, a critic of American imperialism.
..
HER SPECIAL LOVE FOR THE SAUDIS

With Clinton as Secretary of State, the Obama regime vastly increased US sponsorship of Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest supporter of militant Islamic groups such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s Lashkar-e-Taiba, and the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a 2009 cable obtained by Wikileaks. Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most “significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,” according to the Clinton cable. [Thanks to Hillary meddling..] In 2010, the Obama regime signed a deal for the biggest weapons shipment in US history, 60 billion dollars’ worth, to Saudi Arabia. The US was already, and has long been, the world’s biggest arms trafficker.
..
ON KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE:
.. 
“TransCanada Corporation wants to build the Keystone XL Pipeline to carry oil from Alberta Canada’s tar sands to two refineries owned by Koch Industries near the Texas Gulf Coast, for export to Europe; and Hillary Clinton has helped to make that happen. Secretary of State Clinton, whose friend and former staffer Paul Elliot is a lobbyist for TransCanada, had worked behind the scenes to ease the way for commercial exploitation of this, the world’s highest-carbon-emitting oil53% of which oil is owned by America’s Koch Brothers. David Goldwyn, who “served as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs,” is yet another lobbyist for TransCanada.So, TransCanada has two of Hillary’s friends working for them. Misters Elliot and Goldwyn thus worked intimately with Hillary’s people to guide them on selecting a petroleum industry contractor (not an environmental firm, much less any governmental agency) to prepare the required environmental impact statement for this proposed pipeline.

  • In 2005, Clinton said she supports Israel’s illegal annexation wall. Even GOP disagree with this: George W. Bush said of the wall in 2005, “I think the wall is a problem. And I discussed this with Ariel Sharon. It is very difficult to develop confidence between the Palestinians and Israel with a wall snaking through the West Bank.”. Colin Powell in 2003: “A nation is within its rights to put up a fence if it sees the need for one. However, in the case of the Israeli fence, we are concerned when the fence crosses over onto the land of others.”

HILLARY SUPPORT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
..
The Clintons presided over most of the US/UK-led genocide against Iraq carried out through sanctions in the 1990s and up to 2003 (the sanctions were in fact only one aspect). The UN finds that the sanctions killed about 500,000 children under the age of five. In 1991, the Bush Sr. regime implements sanctions and intentionally destroys Iraq’s clean water supply.  Bill Clinton, in full knowledge that the sanctions are fatally harming Iraqi civilians en masse, mostly children and the elderly, continues them through his entire presidency, 1993 to 2001. “We are in the process of destroying an entire society. It is as simple and terrifying as that. It is illegal and immoral.” – Denis Halliday, after resigning as first UN Assistant Secretary General and Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, to protest the sanctions, which he called deliberately genocidal. – The Independent, 15 October 1998. “I was instructed to implement a policy that satisfies the definition of genocide — a deliberate policy that has effectively killed well over a million individuals, children and adults.” – Denis Halliday. Halliday’s successor, Hans von Sponeck, also resigned in protest of the sanctions, which he also referred to as deliberate genocide. 70 members of US congress went further, calling the sanctions a campaign of “infanticide”, the intentional extermination of infants. But Hillary Clinton stayed on board. “Her reaction [to the sanctions] can be summed in a single word. Silence.”
..
REGARDING IRAQ CRIMES
..
“Iraq’s main crime,” says Middle East expert Prof. Juan Cole, “appears to have been to be an oil state not compliant with US demands.” Despite the US’s “violation[s] of the UN charter and its war crimes in Iraq, none of its high officials [have] faced prosecution. Some of them [such as Hillary Clinton] even have the gall to come on television from time to time to urge more killing.”. Former US attorney general Ramsey Clark says the “cruelty” inflicted by the US against Iraq is “unprecedented in history.” But most US citizens, thanks to a combination of propaganda and willful ignorance, have no idea what has been done.
.. 
Democracy Now says Hillary Clinton should be questioned on her role in sending weapons and sniper training, through the 1990s, to the US proxy dictator in Indonesia, General Suharto. Suharto was carrying out a genocide against the peasantry of East Timor, exterminating approximately one fifth to one third of the population. If Hillary Clinton didn’t have a role, says DM, she should be asked why she didn’t speak out publicly and protest what her husband was doing, a question that should be applied to many other of her husband’s policies, including other genocides. The US provided 90% of the weapons for the Indonesian massacre and occupation of East Timor, with US weapons shipments to Indonesian General Suharto escalating for rearmament during his worst atrocities. In an interview shown at the above link, Bill Clinton, questioned about US East Timor involvement, inadvertently admits that US policy was to facilitate the genocide. Readers seeking more information on the US-backed genocide in East Timor should see the Yale University Genocide Studies Program section on East Timor.

            THE CLINTONS INVOLVED IN THE RUANDA GENOCIDE 1994
 ..
Before the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the US trained a militia leader named Paul Kagame at “Fort Leavenworth the U.S. Army’s ‘commander general staff college…where rising stars of the U.S. military and other places go to get training as they are on track to become generals. Since the Kagame/Tutsi conquest of Rwanda, the US/Western client has used the seat of power to invade the Democratic Republic of Congo, killing millions. Rwanda’s Paul Kagame is one of the great mass murderers of our time, far surpassing Uganda’s former dictator Idi Amin. [ Los Clinton’s pueden decir que Kagame es “su hijo de Puta”.]   As noted by Hilzoy, a professor of philosophy specializing in ethics, Hillary Clinton, who certainly possessed key insider knowledge of the Rwanda-related events as they were unfolding with the involvement of her husband’s regime, evidently did nothing to try to convince her husband to stop the actions he was carrying out that contributed towards the devastation of Rwanda and the region. The Chicago Tribune, quoted by Hilzoy, notes: “Despite lengthy memoirs by both Clintons and former Secretary of State and UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright, any advice she gave on Rwanda had not been mentioned until her presidential campaign.”  Indeed, Hilzoy finds, her claimed advocacy “left no trace in the world.” But worse, the very claims made by the Clintons, that “not intervening” in Rwanda is one of Bill’s biggest regrets and that Hillary tried to get him to “intervene”, themselves reveal the Clintons’ continued dishonesty and complicity in the crimes: they did intervene, to ensure that the US proxy army could conquer Rwanda.
