Election Day in America:
Prelude to Doomsday?
by Stephen Lendman
A likely Hillary victory
should terrify everyone. Her extreme anti-Russia militancy puts nuclear war on
the table as a US option - maybe ordering it during her first year in office as
Paul Craig Roberts warns.
US relations with Russia
under Putin are worse than any time since the Bolshevik revolution nearly 100
years ago, more dangerous than any time during the Cold War - certain to
descend to new depths of darkness, tyranny, corporate favoritism, and preparedness
for nuclear war under Hillary and neocon lunatics certain to infest her
administration.
Edward Herman calls her
“the most dangerous person living in the world today.” I call her the most
ruthlessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history - about to become
president-elect after polls close Thursday, barring America’s greatest ever
electoral surprise.
I vividly remember the
October 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Had a neocon lunatic like Hillary been
president, devastating nuclear war might have followed.
Thankfully, we had Jack
Kennedy. In January 1961, he entered office a warrior leader, transformed
himself into a peacemaker, wanted nuclear weapons abolished “before they
abolish us.”
He wanted a “general and
complete disarmament,” rapprochement with Soviet Russia, the Cold War ended,
and all US forces out of Vietnam by December 1965.
He deplored “craz(ies)”
urging war. During the height of the Cuban missile crisis, he “never had the
slightest intention” of removing them by military force, he said.
America never had another
leader like him. From inception, an array of warriors led the nation, from
George Washington to George W. Bush, Obama and likely war goddess Hillary to
follow - the nation at war at home and/or abroad every year in its history, the
truest measure of a rogue state.
Had CIA dark forces not
assassinated Kennedy, his brother Bobby and Martin Luther King, imagine how
different America might have been - at least for a time, waging peace worldwide
instead of endless wars of aggression against nonbelligerent countries
threatening no one.
Today under Obama, with
Hillary in the wings to succeed him, vicious anti-Russia propaganda exceeds the
worse Cold War vitriol preceding it - America on a slippery slope toward
nuclear war once she ascends to power as expected.
Months after Washington
replaced Democrats with Nazi-infested putschists in Ukraine, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov commented, saying “(p)ardon us for our country’s
existence in the middle of your military bases.”
“Washington has openly
declared its right to use military force unilaterally and wherever it sees fit
in order to protect its own interests.”
“The Western alliance, led
by the United States, while (claiming to defend) democracy and human rights, on
the global arena assumes an opposite stance, disregarding the principle of the
sovereign equality of states, as stipulated in the UN Charter, and trying to
decide for others what is good and what is bad.”
America consistently
violates fundamental international, constitutional and US statute laws in
pursuing its imperial agenda - virtually certain to reach dangerous levels of
extremism with Hillary as president.
Changing of the guard
occurs on January 20, 2017, a disquieting time for mourning, trepidation and
alarm for what’s likely ahead.
Bush/Cheney gave us
state-sponsored 9/11 and war on humanity. Obama exceeded their extremism.
Hillary may finish us off entirely. Tremble at what’s likely coming with her in
power.
On the eve of Britain’s
entry into WW I, UK Foreign Secretary Edward Grey remarked “(t)he lamps are
going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”
WW II began two decades
later, followed by America’s post-9/11 phony war on terrorism, a real war on
humanity at home and abroad - raging endlessly, certain to escalate with
Hillary in charge, maybe mushroom cloud denouement awaiting us all ahead with
her finger on the nuclear trigger.
