In the second excerpt of RT’s the John Pilger Special, Julian Assange accuses Hillary Clinton of misleading Americans about the true scope of Daesh’s [Arabic acronym for “ISIS” / “ISIL”] support from Washington’s Middle East allies.
In a 2014 email made public by Assange’s WikiLeaks last month, Hillary Clinton, who had served as secretary of state until the year before, urges John Podesta, then an advisor to Barack Obama, to “bring pressure” on Qatar and Saudi Arabia, “which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ‘ISIL’ [Daesh, ‘ISIS’] and other radical Sunni groups.”
“I think this is the most significant email in the whole collection,” Assange, whose whistleblowing site released three tranches of Clinton-related emails over the past year, told Pilger.
“All serious analysts know, and even the US government has agreed, that some Saudi figures have been supporting ‘ISIS’ and funding ‘ISIS’, but the dodge has always been that it is some “rogue” princes using their oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the government disapproves. But that email says that it is the government of Saudi Arabia, and the government of Qatar that have been funding ‘ISIS’.”
Assange who was interviewed at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been a refugee since 2012, talk about the conflict of interest between Clinton’s official post, which held throughout Obama’s first term, her husband’s nonprofit, and the Middle East officials, whose stated desire to fight terrorism may not have been sincere.
When the subject of the Saudis and Qataris giving money to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton is secretary of state, and the State Department is approving massive arms sales, particularly with Saudi Arabia was discussed, Assange pointed out that the Clinton emails reveal a great deal regarding the subject.
Julian Assange indicated that under Hillary Clinton, the biggest-ever arms deal in the world was made with Saudi Arabia: more than $80 billion. “During her tenure, the total arms exports from the US doubled in dollar value” the whistleblower said.
He further confirmed that the notorious Takfiri Daesh is created largely with money from people who are giving money to the Clinton Foundation.
Pilger also questioned Assange over increasingly frequent accusations from the Clinton camp, and Western media, that WikiLeaks is looking to swing next week’s US presidential election in favor of Donald Trump – perhaps at Russia’s behest.
But Assange dismissed the prospect of Trump, who is behind in the polls, winning as unlikely – and not necessarily due to his standing with the electorate.
“My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment,” said Assange.
“Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves,” the whistleblower added.
