In the second excerpt from the John Pilger Special, to be exclusively broadcast by RT on Saturday, courtesy of Dartmouth Films, Julian Assange accuses Hillary Clinton of misleading Americans about the true scope of Islamic State’s 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 [Islamic State, IS, 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.”
John Pilger: The Saudis, the Qataris, the Moroccans, the Bahrainis, particularly the first two, are giving all this money to the Clinton Foundation, while Hillary Clinton is secretary of state, and the State Department is approving massive arms sales, particularly Saudi Arabia.
Julian Assange: Under Hillary Clinton – and the Clinton emails reveal a significant discussion of it – 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.
JP: Of course, the consequence of that is that this notorious jihadist group, called ISIL or ISIS, is created largely with money from people who are giving money to the Clinton Foundation?
JA: Yes.
Holy shit quite litterally, because Julian Assange just dealt a massive death blow to Hillary Clinton and any chance for her to win the presidency...By just telling the whole world tonight that Hillary Clinton rolls in the same cash as ISIS does. Julian Assange just proved what we knew all along, and that was the major possibility that Hillary was behind ISIS or was basically funded by the same people who fund the Islamic State around the world. Julian Assange just did the bravest thing he has done in this election cycle, and it's not the releasing of Podesta emails...It's what he just did this very hour in telling America and the world that Hillary Clinton is in fact tied to ISIS. With Julian Assange coming out with this information personally, Americans shouldn't be surprised if Hillary steps down or is very soon placed in hand cuffs. Julian Assange should probably watch his six from here out, because what Julian just said tonight destroys her campaign.
