Architect of Russian Oligarchy calls Hillary a Warmonger, Architect of Syria, New Cold War

Commentary by Dr. Patrick Slattery — It’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Yes, the kettle is black, but…
Jeffery Sachs is a Harvard economics professor. One of the brilliant young Jewish wunderkind who get put on the fast track not because of achievement, but because they are just that “brilliant.” Sachs was a full professor by age 28. Then he went off on a world tour, advising country after country to privatize in a hurry. Never mind if no one has any money, the banks can buy the state assets.
All this came to a head in the early 1990s when as an advisor to Russian President Yeltsin he helped a small click of young Jews with access to international Jewish banking capital to take control of the nations most valuable assets, while the Russian goyim starved and froze to death.
Maybe it should not be a surprise that someone who was so successful at enriching his fellow tribesman by deceit would oppose those who attempt the same by brute force. Sachs has been a critic of the neocon foreign policy. His criticism of the Iraq War was vocal, but completely misleading. Like Michael Moore, he framed it as a war for oil and a diversion by politicians on the Saudi payroll to distract attention from the Saudi responsibility for 9-11. Never mind Israel’s role, nothing to see here.
Don’t get me wrong, I love to see Hillary called out for her warmongering and massive foreign policy failures, from Libya to Syria to Russia. But I am always disgusted by Sachs’ constant self promotion, even when he is on the right side of an issue. He is always promoting himself for some grand office, such as president of the World Bank.
But, just as with his analysis of the Iraq War, his explanation of Hillary’s motivations are completely off-mark. To Sachs, she is a puppet of the military industrial complex, a servant of the “deep security state run by the military and the CIA.” I guess it is just a coincidence that her top seven campaign donors are all ardent Jewish Zionists from the financial and media industries, and not a single military industrial complex representative among them.
So, for all you Hillary anti-fans out there, please enjoy the following critique. But remember that it is brought to you by a very black pot indeed.

A prominent economics professor and political thinker has penned an article in which he calls Clinton a “war candidate” in the pocket of the military industrial complex.

Jeffrey Sachs, a world-renowned professor of economics, has authored a column in which he attacks presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton for her ties to the military industrial complex. Sachs, a senior UN advisor, bestselling author, and syndicated columnist, said Clinton’s decisions as Senator and as Secretary of State have put the US in danger and led to an unending state of conflict.

“The idea that she is bad on the corporate issues but good on national security has it wrong,” Sachs writes. “Her so-called foreign policy “experience” has been to support every war demanded by the US deep security state run by the military and the CIA.”Sachs goes back to the administration of Bill Clinton, noting that the Clintons both have accepted money from both Wall Street and weapons contractors who have an interest in the US taking an active role in conflict around the world.

“Just as the last Clinton presidency set the stage for financial collapse, it also set the stage for unending war. On October 31, 1998 President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act that made it official US policy to support ‘regime change” in Iraq,” Sachs explains.

Sachs points out that, later in 2003, Hillary voted for war with Iraq in the US Senate, a war which many now criticize for having destabilized the region and helping push the US to financial collapse.

Going forward in time, Sachs calls Clinton’s “record as Secretary of State is among the most militaristic, and disastrous, of modern US history.”

“Hilary was a staunch defender of the military-industrial-intelligence complex at every turn, helping to spread the Iraq mayhem over a swath of violence that now stretches from Mali to Afghanistan. Two disasters loom largest: Libya and Syria.”Sachs places a lot of blame on Clinton for the crisis in Syria.

“Perhaps the crowning disaster of this long list of disasters has been Hillary’s relentless promotion of CIA-led regime change in Syria,” he writes. “Once again Hillary bought into the CIA propaganda that regime change to remove Bashir al-Assad would be quick, costless, and surely successful.”

He also charges Clinton with fostering the current situation between the US and Russia by

“Hillary’s support at every turn for NATO expansion, including even into Ukraine and Georgia against all common sense, was a trip wire that violated the post-Cold War settlement in Europe in 1991,” Sachs says. “As Senator in 2008, Hillary co-sponsored 2008-SR439, to include Ukraine and Georgia in NATO. As Secretary of State, she then presided over the restart of the Cold War with Russia.”
