COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
Clinton says that Trump
'appealing to the most ugly impulses in our society'
Pretty ridiculous statement when you consider Hillary is the
blood-drenched neo-cons' official candidate.
In some genuine news today, Donald Trump made the following
statement.
"Hillary Clinton and President Obama bear the direct
responsibility of destabilizing the Middle East, having let ISIS take firm hold
in Iraq, Libya and Syria, not to mention their allowing Americans to be slaughtered
at Benghazi."
There were no truer words spoken anywhere in weeks.
The very fact that Trump understands this and is willing to
address it is why he is so hated by the American establishment and its
servants, the press, including pretty clearly the British press.
The American establishment has been married to the neo-con
wars for 15 years.
Something on the order of 2 million having been killed in
this vicious rampage - Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and others - and
many, many millions driven from their homes to become refugees.
It is directly responsible for what we call international
terror, as young men - as young men everywhere always do when confronted by
such hideous events against their own kind - fight to defend or to seek revenge.
And it is directly responsible for the ruined lives of
refugees and the near-destabilization of Europe.
This is, in fact, the great horror story of the decade, and
the mainline press pretty well ignores it except for reprinting uninformative
Pentagon or CIA press releases.
And Hillary Clinton, quite active in a good deal of this
bloodshed, is the candidate of the American establishment and its neo-con
advocates for war and extrajudicial killing because she is ready and willing to
carry right on.

Good point.
She also has a number of other real failures in her
background, indicating maybe she's not quite as sharp as she and her friends
think she is.
She failed her bar exam, later moving to Arkansas to pass
what was likely an easier one in a rural place.
She was fired with cause in her first significant job as a
Watergate staffer, the man who fired her still keeps his note book recording
the details from the time.
