the antiwar movement is dead it was killed by the so called progressive laughed it was on life support at the end of the bush administration and killed by stabbing shipment liberals during the Obama years during the election campaign in two thousand and eight candidate Obama promised to bring home the troops I will promise you this that if we have not gotten our troops out by the2/40
time I am president it is the first thing I will do I will get our troops home we will bring an end to this war you can take that to the bank Obama said he would end the war in Iraq and bring the born in Afghanistan to a successful conclusion after he was in office he continued the war agenda of his predecessor after Obama was elected3/40
amnesia kicked in for Democrats I didn't oppose a continuation of America's longest war in Afghanistan they didn't protest against Obama's illegal drone bore in Pakistan Somalia Yemen and Syria but what's really telling is their enthusiastic support of Obama and Hillary brutal destruction of Libya in manufactured conflict that killed over thirty thousand people following the destruction Clinton took to the establishment media pedal lies about the invasion4/40
all we were looking at a potential disaster %HESITATION as Qaddafi threatened to massacre a large numbers of his population the Europeans are Arab allies were urging us them to that %HESITATION after due diligence %HESITATION we came up with a way of supporting their efforts that did not cost a single American and we saved a lot of Libyan lives during the reign of bush thousands of Democrats5/40
protested against the invasion of Iraq after Obama's election victory however they fell in line behind the word gender if you Democrats however told the truth about the invasion simply put the president has no constitutional authority to do what he's done he has a I changed it guide the constitution in effect by saying that he has an executive privilege to wage war he's ignored article one section6/40
eight is ignored the war powers act is even exceeded the UN mandate and so this administration has taken this country on a path that is profoundly anti democratic and it needs to be challenged both world wars Korea and Vietnam can be laid at the doorstep of Democrat administrations Democrat Harry Truman dropped the atomic bombs on Japan killing nearly one hundred and fifty thousand people in Vietnam7/40
Korea and Iraq between ten and fifteen million people were killed by the United States although the invasion of Iraq occurred under Republican George W. bush Democrats in Congress voted for the war which is illegal under international legal conventions which the United States government is legally bound to uphold the Iraq war resolution also represented a violation of the United Nations charter under the charter no member state8/40
has the right to enforce any resolution militarily unless the UN security council determines that there has been a material breach up its resolution decides that all non military means of enforcement have been exhausted and then spits typically authorizes the only other exception for the use of force is in self defense against armed attack which even the bush administration admitted had not taken place if you were9/40
a leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin denounced the attack and the murder of Gaddafi dusted him soon should go coalition said destroying get Daffy was not big goal them white bone his palaces now some officials of claim that eliminating him was in fact that goal who gave them that right did he have a fair trial returning to the no fly zone the bombings in destroying the country's10/40
anti infrastructure when the so called civilized world use as old as me against a small country destroying what's been do by generations I don't know if that's good as we now know and many of us knew at the time the invasion of Iraq was based on lies about weapons of mass destruction a tiny number of Democrats called for the impeachment of bush but this game almost11/40
zero traction in Congress Democrats and Republicans alike use these obvious lies to call for an illegal invasion bush used the support of Democrats insist taking out Saddam Hussein was supported by the American people the unsubstantiated claims were supported by read Biden Clinton Kerry and other Democrats Senate leaders Hillary Clinton accepted the lies is fact and voted for the invasion resolution during the two thousand and sixteen12/40
election however Clinton tried to minimize your support for war that killed a million and a half Iraqis well Bernie Sanders voted no it so why do it well Chris I don't I'm just telling you why that was the prevailing opinion and what you know I look I've said it was a mistake Obama's vice president Joe Biden at the time the influential chair of the Senate foreign13/40
relations committee uses position to block opposition by a minority of Democrats I do not only black testimony by UN inspectors such as Scott Ritter he also said everyone in the world thought Hussein had weapons of mass destruction the media led by the New York Times and The Washington Post headline the lies about weapons of mass destruction they also underplayed in glossed over massive anti war demonstrations14/40
in America and Europe many Democrats were at the forefront of the anti war movement in the late nineteen sixties but this changed after the invasion of Iraq and later during the two thousand and six election Hillary Clinton a former supporter of Barry Goldwater led the effort to convert Democrats into the cutting edge of the war party she embraced the neocon philosophy of so called preemptive war15/40
and added an element to entice Democrats and liberals using the military in the name of humanitarian intervention military humanitarian is when civilians are when they are starving or and the international community maybe the night states decides that they need to go and help these people and that in order to do that there it just sticks the humanitarian intervention concept is not new Bill Clinton rolled out16/40
when he teamed up with NATO to bomb Yugoslavia it was cited when liberals call for direct involvement in Rwanda where Tutsi led rebels for slaughtering Hutu refugees the French cited the humanitarian intervention concept when they initiated operation turquoise and four and invaded the Great Lakes region of Africa where they supported a brutal and genocidal regime it was also used to argue for military intervention in oil17/40
rich Sudan seventy eight days of of bombing of Yugoslavia under the auspices of NATO Wesley Clark was the a commander of those operations US Supreme Allied Commander %HESITATION they bombed a Serbian television station killing a sixteen I media workers some of the more media workers some of them are makeup artist others are engineers they directly target passenger trains and fabricated video afterwards to make it seem18/40
as though it was a split second decision are they killed thousands of civilians in the fact was %HESITATION that the %HESITATION the exaggerations of what was happening because of %HESITATION by William Cohen the defense secretary at the time we talked about a million missing people island was a scaled back two hundred thousand and fifty thousand and ten thousand and now the official numbers is that there19/40
were two thousand seven hundred people that were killed and there's been no determination of their ethnicity now I can tell you from being on the ground in Kosovo %HESITATION that some of the worst violence that occurred slaughtering of Albanians happened after the NATO bombing began %HESITATION and the fact was that the U. S. sabotaged are the work of the organization for security and cooperation in Europe20/40
in the weeks leading up to %HESITATION the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and I think that I we have what we have to understand here is that this is where the the sort of liberals like Hillary Clinton come together with the neocons because they're a lot of similarities between what happened in Yugoslavia and what happened in Iraq with the lead up to the war disregard for international21/40
law are international consensus and outright killing of civilians under the auspices of humanitarian intervention Obama use the humanitarian intervention argument when he argued in favor of intervening in Syria to fight the Islamic state his UN ambassador Samantha power is a staunch advocate of invasion and murder under the banner Susan rice Obama's national security adviser is also an advocate of the concept power is argued that diplomacy22/40
is useless and only military intervention is effective well diplomacy has not delivered for the people of Aleppo that's that's for sure but %HESITATION I think it's a diversion to focus on diplomacy the reason that Aleppo is burning is because the Syrian government Russia Iran and Hezbollah have chosen to make it burn according to a leaked email between then secretary of state Clinton and her aide Sidney23/40
Blumenthal the excuse of hermana tearing intervention in Libya stood on shaky ground in other words there was no humanitarian basis for the invasion which ultimately killed thirty thousand people in addition to lying about the real situation in Libya the Obama administration refuse to consider a ceasefire proposed by the Libyan leader Qaddafi who was later brutally murdered by U. S. supported so called rebels the story in24/40
Libya is not dissimilar to the story in a in a in a in Iraq with Saddam Hussein all with Syria which we've just been talking about you know the problem is these are all divided societies politically divided to some extent of because the ethnic and %HESITATION question of tried it should clear rule but there politically divided societies two zero somehow that in each of the six25/40
there's one bad guy who everybody hates is the most simplistic understanding of the Middle East and the United States you know through NATO conducted a regime change operation inside Libya just as they did in Iraq in both instances when the strong man was captured meant when Saddam was captured when Gaddafi was captured what they said to their capitals is very revealing they said we are ready26/40
to negotiate and the United States essentially was not interested in negotiating you remember when Gaddafi was essentially lynched on the streets of of set Hillary Clinton heard the news instead aloft and said we came we saw we killed you know we conquered yes we came we sought he died you subsequently went from the richest nation in Africa to a failed state in fact the objective of27/40
the U. S. and NATO was to reduce Libya to a failed state he didn't intend to save civilians or deliver democracy as proponents of the invasion argued George W. bush dismissed the antiwar movement as a focus group but this did not stop tens of millions of people from protesting against the war no such protests have been repeated despite Obama continuing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq28/40
flattening Libya and feeding the mask conjures Syria by covertly and not so covertly supporting jihadi terrorists trying to overthrow the elected leader of the country in essence the leaders of the anti war movement stepped down after Obama was elected dust betraying their pseudo leftism and opposition to war instead of standing behind principle they merged with the Democratic Party which services the financial elite and the military29/40
industrial complex in the same way the Republican colleagues on the other side of the aisle do this is not strictly an American phenomenon the French new anti capitalist party and the German left party for example have backed worse for regime change in Libya and Syria on the pretext of human rights even more telling is our support for the US state department and establishment NGO created color30/40
revolutions in the Middle East Gilbert Akkar speaking for the French left went so far as to meet the Syrian National Council officials and advise them on how best to get a work going and suppress opposition to it in America leftist like Juan Cole who oppose the Iraq war supported the illegal invasion a Libya under the phony rubric of humanitarian intervention Cole became a liberal apologists for31/40
military intervention it is not something that could have been done in most situations and you were bringing up places like Yemen bombing him and would would produce no result whatsoever and %HESITATION I don't think anybody has asked for Yemen to you Bob but in in Libya it made a difference it saved Benghazi that same %HESITATION this %HESITATION popular protest movement which by the way includes so32/40
many workers and ordinary people %HESITATION some of the cities which have thrown off of for instance for their steel mill are you you these these are progressive forces %HESITATION who were fighting a a wretched a secret police regime socialists and communists are particularly fond of aggressive war the international socialist organization in the U. S. that identifies with Trotskyism Leninism and Marxism criticized Obama for not being33/40
enough of the warmonger how did the left turn on a dime and become supporters of the war in mass murder in additional directives handed down by Democrats the movement has long been compromised by supposedly leftist foundations a number of activists and media organizations on the left take money from establishment foundations with known ties to the CIA a council on foreign relations the trilateral commission and others34/40
in his book trading with the enemy Charles hang him documents how both the Rockefeller and Ford found collaborative but not the Rockefellers by selling the Nazis oil through the standard oil company and the fords by selling the Nazis tanks through subsidiary corporate since nineteen fifty a Rockefeller has held a prominent leadership position in the council on foreign relations and David Rockefeller was the co founder of35/40
the trilateral both organizations helped craft the Carter doc seventy which stated the U. S. would intervene militarily to protect its oil supply in the Middle East let our position be absolutely clear an attempt by any outside food to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interest to the United States of America and such an assault will be36/40
repelled by any means necessary including military force the council on foreign relations is a clearinghouse for the financial lead it's a driving force behind corporate globalization and its institutions including United Nations the World Bank the International Monetary Fund the World Trade Organization and NATO the billionaire George Soros also plays a key role in making sure Democrats can be knighted liberals support endless wars and mass murder37/40
he makes his money in part by investing in the arm dealing Carlyle group and holding stock in weapons manufacturers Boeing and Lockheed Martin Cyrus is a former director of the CFR and a member of the Bilderberg group the bipartisan group membership has included the likes of Paul Wolfowitz David Rockefeller Colin Powell Henry Kissinger Vernon Jordan Melinda gates Bill Clinton and Alan Greenspan it works in tandem38/40
with the council on foreign relations and the trilateral commission do the establishment media propaganda and the promotion of mindless partisan warfare Democrats were able to shut down the anti war movement by attributing wars to Republicans specifically bush and his neocons but Jimmy Carter before him Obama is considered a humanitarian who only resorts to armed intervention as a last resort now the Donald Trump as president begin39/40
expect an artificial resurgence of the phony antiwar movement doing this will serve as further evidence that liberals are opposed to war only one Republican is in office for just a small subscription fee you can become a member of the news but to me and help keep this website running your subscription will provide you with full community access to exclusive content videos and articles from news but
