A people get the president they deserve
Hillary Clinton isn't a newcomer in politics. Though she has a reputation of a successful politician but it's difficult to mention her merits. All of them (if any) are easily cancelled out by her scandalous failures.
Hillary often acted thoughtlessly, irresponsibly, hypocritically and falsely. There's no need to mention the scandal with her personal email account instead of an official government account. But some of her mistakes and wrong decisions led to fatal consequences.
There is no doubt that as Secretary of State she played a crucial role in the decision by the US to intervene in LIbya on the side of the jihadi mercenaries who were bought and paid for by the USA. But there was nothing behind that decision but Hillary's mad desire to topple a dictator as her husband Bill Clinton had done in former Yugoslavia and George Bush in Iraq.
There was no strategy. As a result Libya is torn apart, ruled by warlords reliant on terror and torture, and the thousands of Libyans and other Africans who previously would have found safe haven in Libya are now force to flee to Europe across the Mediterranean and risk a watery grave.
On Hillary's watch, 'security failings' also led to the murder of United States ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in the US consulate in Benghazi on 11 September 2012. As is known, Hillary Clinton was aware of 'security problems' but did nothing.
Hillary's campaign for presidency is accompanied by scandals revealing her mendacity and hypocrisy. During a George Washington University campaign event in 2008 Clinton said that, on a 1996 trip to Bosnia, she came under sniper fire and was forced to run for cover. "There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base," she said.
Clinton's claim was found to be false. Her story was ridiculed by ABC News as "like a scene from Saving Private Ryan". When caught lying she vainly tried to find a silly excuse. There's no way to rebuild people's trust when you're an inveterate liar.
Hillary doesn't seem to learn any lessons from her mistakes. In January 2016, during her new presidential campaign, she accused her opponent Bernie Sanders of supporting the National Rifle Association and voting with the gun lobby.
"I have made it clear based on Senator Sanders' own record that he has voted with the NRA, with the gun lobby numerous times," Clinton said. But Hillary was far from honest because her own largest donors — and some of the largest contributors to the Clinton Foundation — are connected directly or indirectly with the defense industry and the gun lobby.
Indeed, Hillary Clinton tops the list of presidential hopefuls receiving defense lobby contributions — outpacing even the top Republican candidates. On March 21, according to The Intercept, a fundraising rally for Clinton's campaign will be hosted in part by Jeff Forbes of the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate, who had lobbied for the National Rifle Association until 2016.
More than that, she cooperates with many financial corporations. According to Bloomberg, Hillary was paid $12 million in the 16 months after leaving her role as US secretary of state. Knowing she'd likely run for president, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley (and other big Wall Street corporations) gladly paid her $2.9 million in speaking fees alone.
There's no doubt that, in her run for the Presidency, Hillary has decided to put aside all moral values (not that she had any to begin with). There's just one principle she holds dear: the end justifies the means, no matter how psychopathic those means are.
