Like many of you, we are aghast at the fascist freak show in Clevend, watching extreme racist caricatures like the guy from Duck Dynasty be lifted up to the main stage and allowed to bolster the "law and order" platform of the Republicans. This "new" platform is both coded as racist oppression to all who have ears to hear it, as well as the height of hypocrisy since these same forces enthusiastically support serious crimes against the people: championing police who murder, the extrajudicial killings by drones, and torture as a sort of governing principal rather than one of the most heinous forms of crimes against humanity.

Whether Donald Trump's "pernicious politics of hatred and exclusion and authoritarianism" will prevail or not is undecided. What we should have learned over the past 7.5 years, however, is that if we are going to see a better future, those of us, the millions of us, who care about people, the future of humanity and the planet need to act together to stop this whole direction independent of the electoral process.

Hillary Clinton has a solid history of allegiance to the 'Endless War Doctrine' that propels U.S. foreign policy. What you see is what you'll get. It isn't pretty...

Invading Iraq: A War of Aggression + Crime Against Humanity
"Former senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton is the only candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination who supported the invasion of Iraq," observes University of San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes, as he lists the five lamest excuses Clinton supporters make to justify her October 2002 vote for the authorization of military force.

Clinton now says her Iraq war vote was a "mistake."

Escalating The Destructive War in Afghanistan
"Somewhere around 220,000 Afghans have died since the 2001 U.S. invasion, and millions of others are refugees," counts Foreign Policy in Focus columnist Conn Hallinan. Clinton's alliance with then secretary of defense Robert Gates was instrumental in the crucial decision to escalate the Afghan war in 2009, and then to slow drawdown the following year.

Expanding "The War On Terrror" & Further Enflaming A Region In Turmoil
Clinton is even more inclined toward aggressive foreign policy than Obama, advocating that "American exceptionalism gives the U.S. the right to intervene in other countries."

One of Clinton's last actions as Secretary of State was to call for the arming of Syrian rebels fighting Assad, a disastrous plan also backed by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and CIA director David Petraeus, and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Activist and author Zach Cartwright finds Clinton one of those responsible for the fall of Iraq and Syria and the rise of ISIS, using weapons funded by the U.S. government.

"It is not unusual for a president to want to be his own secretary of state, but rarely has a secretary so badly wanted to be her own president," wrote University of San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes in 2013. "Hillary Clinton [left] her position as Secretary of State with a legacy of supporting autocratic regimes and occupation armies, opposing enforcement of international humanitarian law, undermining arms control and defending military solutions to complex political problems.

"She was appointed to her position following eight years in the U.S. Senate, during which she became an outspoken supporter of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, lied about Iraq's military capabilities to frighten the public into supporting the illegal war, unleashed repeated attacks against the United Nations, opposed restrictions on land mines and cluster bombs, defended war crimes by allied right-wing governments and largely embraced Bush's unilateralist agenda."
