Unindicted US War Criminal Passes

On Wednesday, former Bill and Hillary Clinton regime secretary of state Madeleine Albright passed away at age-84.
She won’t be missed.
Paul Craig Roberts noted that she “escape(d) the hangman’s noose” — for the worst of high crimes too grievous to ignore.
Years earlier, retired academic John Ryan called her a “baleful specter who haunted us almost as destructively as the current crop of malevolent functionaries” infesting Washington.
Instead of having “the decency to disappear…she (collected) honorary degrees” from academia in the empire of lies and abroad.
“(N)o one (took) time to put an effective spoke into her wretched wheel of legacy.”
As Clinton crime family UN envoy and secretary of state, she was complicit in a near-decade of crimes of war and against humanity.
It included the rape, destruction and dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia.
Notably, 23 years ago on March 24, 1999, the Bill and Hillary Clinton regime’s so-called Operation Noble Anvil (sic) began.
For 78 days, it continued relentlessly through June 10.
Around 600 aircraft flew about 3,000 sorties.
Thousands of tons of ordnance were dropped, as well as hundreds of ground-launched cruise missiles.
The ferocity terror-bombing over the time it lasted was unprecedented.
Nearly everything was targeted for maximum destruction and disruption, including:
power plants
factories
civilian transportation
telecommunications facilities
roads, bridges and rail lines
fuel depots
schools
a TV station
China’s Belgrade embassy
hospitals
government offices
churches
historic landmarks and more.
The former Yugoslavia ceased to exist.
The bloody hands of the Clinton crime family and Albright were all over what happened.
Commenting on the atrocity, the late Nobel laureate Harold Pinter called it “barbaric (and despicable), another blatant and brutal assertion of US power, using NATO as its missile (to consolidate) American domination of Europe.”
Throughout their time in office, the Clintons and Albright were indifferent to human suffering while consistently supporting wrong over right.
On her watch, the Clinton regime installed US-trained Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) General Paul Kagame in power.
Notably it was to use country as a platform to plunder neighboring resource-rich Congo (DRC).
The Clintons and Albright bore full responsibility for the 1994 Rwandan massacre that was unrelated to a fabricated Tutsi/Hutu conflict.
Enforcing genocidal sanctions on Iraq throughout the 1990s, Albright shared guilt with the Clintons for the deaths of about 1.5 Iraqis.
Most were young children. Around 7,000 died monthly.
Former UN humanitarian coordinator Dennis Halliday resigned in protest.
So did his successor Hans von Sponeck for the same reason, as well as World Food Program head in Iraq at the time, Jutta Burghardt.
They refused to be part of what they called “genocide.”
Notably in his resignation remarks, Halliday said the following:
“We are in the process of destroying an entire society. It is as simple and terrifying as that. It is illegal and immoral.”
Two days before resigning, von Sponeck said the following:
“As a UN official, I should not be expected to be silent to that which I recognize as a true human tragedy that needs to be ended.”
“How long should the civilian population, which is totally innocent on all of this, be exposed to such punishment for something they have never done?”
Throughout the 1990s to the 2003 Iraq war and its aftermath, the cradle of civilization was erased.
“Shock therapy” followed “shock and awe.”
So did repression, daily killings, deprivation, mass detentions, torture and other crimes against humanity.
Iraq was destroyed in similar fashion to what happened to the former Yugoslavia.
Albright shared blame for two of history’s greatest crimes.
Supporting aggressive use of NATO in defiance of international law, she was part of a regime that prioritized war-making and its mass slaughter and destruction.
In 1996, 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl asked her the following:
“We have heard that a half million children have died” in Iraq since 1991.
“(That’s more children than died in Hiroshima…(I)s the price worth it?”
Albright replied: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price – we think the price is worth it.”
Support for genocidal high crimes defined her involvement in the Clinton regime’s war on humanity.
In her 2003 memoirs, Albright said the following about her 60 Minutes remarks:
“I should have answered the question by reframing it and pointing out the inherent flaws in the premise behind it.”
“Saddam Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations.”
Not only were the above remarks made 7 years after her 60 Minutes interview, “reframing — as she put it— wouldn’t have infused life into the corpses of 1.5 million Iraqis who perished on her watch by sanctions war.
As Clinton regime UN envoy in 1993, she was also infamous for saying the following to General Colin Powell during a White House situation room session:
“What’s the point of having this superb military that you’re always talking about if we can’t use it?”
Later in his own memoir, Powell said:
“I thought I would have an aneurysm” on hearing what she said, adding:
Albright advocated use of US military personnel as “toy soldiers to be moved around on some global chessboard.”
Powell had his own cross to bear in the run-up to the Bush/Cheney regime 2003 Iraq war.
Knowing that Saddam eliminated all WMDs in the country years earlier, he lied, saying:
“(F)acts and Iraq’s behavior show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction (sic).”
“(E)very statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources (sic).
“What we’re giving you are the facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence (sic).”
“The gravity of this moment is matched by the gravity of the threat that Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction pose to the world (sic).”
Intelligence about Iraqi WMDs revealed their elimination. Powell pretended otherwise.
As the saying goes, the rest is history.
The same reality applies to Albright’s bloodstained hands.
Commenting on her death, the infamous NYT suppressed all of the above damning facts.
It failed to reveal the true measure of the woman behind the phony facade of diplomatic dignity — an unapologetic war criminal to the day she passed.
A special place in hell awaits her arrival.

The US Army Invaded Russia In 1918 – Russians Remember
Samizdat | October 2018
The 8000 expeditionary force, support of the White movement, and the most serious intentions, on August 15th, 1918, the US State Department officially declared the severance of diplomatic relations with Russia, after which the Americans disembarked in Vladivostok. This marked the beginning of the full-scale intervention of the Entente countries in a country that was already submerged in civil war. The material of RIA covers what memory the overseas military personnel in the Far East left behind. … continue

I posted this comment at Mr. Lendman’s site:
A letter-perfect recitation/recordation of ultimate satanic evil. Thank you, Mr. Lendman.
““Saddam Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations.” Surely bi*ch Albright knew that President Hussein had fashioned in Iraq the infrastructure of his people’s health system and facilities, the advancement of women’s existence, general education, transportation, etc., that were the example for and envy of other countries in his region and far beyond. But she, damn her in perpetuity, didn’t give a damn about such minutia….
Can’t “We the people” have designed and erected a massive statue for the bi*ch with Mr. Lendman’s text on all four sides and a caption “This coarse, grotesque woman [sic] showed her fellow Americans, coarsened themselves by her bloody hand at the tiller, and the world how not to conduct diplomacy but to commit genocide. Sadly, she is not alone…”?

I confronted Madeleine Albright in a Mosque in Dearborn around 16 years ago and asked her if she now regretted killing all those Muslims. She was silent. Then I was asked to leave by the one hosting her on the visit. A good host, to be sure, but a good man? I looked into her eyes and literally felt like I saw nothing behind them. I do believe that people pay a price in the immediate present for being so tied up in evil. No, she will never hang, but I do think she paid a price in giving over to such callous inhumanity.

I appreciate that, in this humanist world, not everybody believes in a creator or that there is a purpose in life. For those that do, there is some comfort in the following verses from the Bible.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God: and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of Life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of Life was cast into the lake of fire”. (Revelation 20:12, 15 KJV).
So although Madeleine Albright may have escaped justice in this life, she is going to have a surprise in the resurrection.

Thank you for sharing that Bill. Don’t let those who are full of hubris in their materialist beliefs and thus unable to be respectful of people who do not agree with them on that score deter you from continuing to work to be respectful of people of all beliefs.

I went to a Catholic Primary school, and was terrified by them and their “Devil” who was going to “burn me for Eternity in Hell”…….Everything that they taught me was completely illogical, and utterly unverifiable.
I have recently studied the History of the Florentine Popes(Prior to Mussolini gifting them the Vatican). A good number of those Popes were the Foulest people on Earth, whose personal habits were completely disgusting.
So, if they had no Fear of God, why should I? Religion is completely illogical, and Utterly unverifiable……

I had a much better experience. Can you assume your experience is the only one? Or could it be that some find it valuable, even life saving, while you did not? Could our own interpretations affect how we see our experience? That has been true for me as I have matured over time and learned of some of the manipulations carried out against us and the Church by various dishonest forces, so it is at least possibly true for you. The work of E Michael Jones has helped me appreciate what is very important about the Church despite its very corrupted state. And anyone who takes advantage of the trust people put in the Church to abuse people, particularly children, is Satanic. If you suffered any emotional abuse or abuse of any kind, that was wrong. If you simply failed to grasp the importance of the concept of the devil or evil and wanted to run away from the presence of that force in our world, then I do not think that is the right way to address your fear, but you have free will and have every right to choose as you see fit.

And then there is the quote by John Adams, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” And we can see in our times quite a bit of evidence supporting this statement just as even Robespierre learned, albeit too late, during the French Revolution (that grew out of Voltaire’s philosophical tradition), that when people abandon religion and God, murderous terror can easily follow. Look into Robespierre’s “Church of the Supreme Being” that he tried to cobble together on the fly, but it was not in time to spare his own neck from the terror he had helped unleash. So, be flip and parrot your Jewish humor and the assertions of men filled with Hubris, but you may just find you are on a path that you have not thought through that has been prepared by those who seek your enslavement.

Gentlemen, gentlemen: I’ve “Liked” both (and all) of your posts; surely we can agree to disagree without becoming contentious or snarky…here’s a bit of [always-needed] levity I received this morning from a really good Irish-American friend. I’ve been unable to copy it for pasting, so I’ll try my typing skills (it came to me with a light-green background and interspersed with shamrocks, green hearts, and the Irish flag):
–Jesus looked across the table at God and asked: Where have you been these past 2 years?”
–God replied: “I’ve been in Ireland.”
–Jesus, with a shocked look, said: “So there has been a pandemic raging for 2 years and you’ve been in Ireland.
What have you been doing there?”
–God leaned over and whispered: “Working from home, son; working from home.”
We’ve become quite far removed from the Allbi*ch who, one might hope, never soiled the soil of Merrie old Ireland….
