"Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society." - George Washington

Hillary & Obama Are Following The Advice Of A Madman (& War Criminal, i.e. Henry Kissinger) ... They Have Destabilized Countries Like Bush & Cheney Did!

Background:

1. The Creation Of ISIS Can Be Traced Directly To The Actions Of Jeb Bush's Brother & Dick Cheney

2. War Criminal Henry Kissinger Admires Hillary Clinton's Work In The State Department!?!?!?!

Here is how Obama & Hillary destabilized Yemen, by engaging in lawless violence... continuously for years;

FLASHBACK: CNN - Establishing a Society Leads to Violence;

CNN - GPS: Killing Awlaki was illegal, immoral and dangerous

In 2001, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, stated on Israeli televisionthe U.S. position regarding Israeli targeted killing of suspected terrorists: “The United States government is very clearly on the record as against targeted assassinations. They are extrajudicial killings, and we do not support that.”

How could we? Killing in war is justifiable morally and legally because of the extraordinary situation of real hostilities. In the limited zones on the planet where two or more contending armed groups fight for territorial control, people are on notice of the danger. In such zones, the necessity to kill without warning is understood. Still, even in combat, there are rules. Civilians may not be directly targeted; principles of necessity and humanity restrain.

Where no such intense armed fighting is occurring, killing is only justified to save a human life immediately. Peacetime human rights and criminal law prevail. The actual facts of fighting determine which rules govern killing. The president has no override authority.

Nor should he want it. These rules apply globally. The U.S. should not weaken them, providing a basis for Russia, Iran, China or Pakistan to declare war against opponents, killing them anywhere with missiles and bombs.

And what about within the U.S.? If the president can target suspects in Yemen, why not here? And why just the president? Why can’t governors order missile strikes on suspected terrorists and other criminals?

The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki and several persons with him on Friday in Yemen did not occur in a battle zone. The killings occurred in a country in the midst of upheaval with various armed and unarmed factions struggling for control. The United States should be encouraging non-violence in Yemen, respect for human rights and the rule of law. Instead, we have engaged in lawless violence, denying our own citizens fundamental due process.

Funny. When you realize that this - carefully warned about - destabilization of Yemen was carried out by Obama's Administration... beginning with Hillary Clinton as Secretary Of State (Murder), whose approach to Yemen was dictated by the war philosophy she shares with Henry Kissinger who was VERY publicly involved with the Iraq Oil War (see proofs below) ...

This post will show that Hillary's understanding of Foreign Policy was clearly expressed by George Carlin before he mysteriously died;

George Carlin on American Foreign Policy - Bombing Brown People...

‎"And I'm not a really good American because I like to form my own opinions. I don't just roll over when I'm told to. Sad to say most Americans just roll over on command. Not me, not me. I have certain rules I live by, my first rule... I don't believe anything the government tells me" George Carlin http://youtu.be/dDw-zFFhFgc

Hillary was Obama's secretary of State and foreign policy has been influenced by her pretense... Lets look at the advice of Hillary's mentor, who was Obama's Secretary of State... who are ALL still connected in an intimate way... and then lets look at some of the foreign policy actions by Obama as begun under his Sectary of State Hillary Clinton (i.e. the destabilization of various countries)

Here is Hillary's Mentor;

Henry Kissinger Quotes;

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.

Top 10 Kissinger Quotes
1. Soviet Jews: “The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.” (link)

2. Bombing Cambodia: “[Nixon] wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done. Anything that flies or anything that moves.” (link) 3. Bombing Vietnam: "It's wave after wave of planes. You see, they can't see the B-52 and they dropped a million pounds of bombs ... I bet you we will have had more planes over there in one day than Johnson had in a month ... each plane can carry about 10 times the load of World War II plane could carry." (link)Read more here.

Kissinger was with Bush & Cheney...

In fact, the one continuous link between the Bush Administration and Hillary Clinton IS Henry Kissinger!

Washington Post: Woodward: Kissinger Advising Bush

NEW YORK -- Henry Kissinger has been advising President Bush and Vice President Cheney about Iraq, telling them that "victory is the only meaningful exit strategy," author and journalist Bob Woodward said.

Salon: The former secretary of state lauds W's "courage" in Iraq. Here's what he and his fellow hawks refuse to accept

... and The Nation has this to say about him;

Nation: Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton’s Tutor in War and PeaceLast night, Clinton once again praised a man with a lot of blood on his hands.

Let’s consider some of Kissinger’s achievements during his tenure as Richard Nixon’s top foreign policy–maker. He (1) prolonged the Vietnam War for five pointless years; (2) illegally bombed Cambodia and Laos; (3) goaded Nixon to wiretap staffers and journalists; (4) bore responsibility for three genocides in Cambodia, East Timor, and Bangladesh; (5) urged Nixon to go after Daniel Ellsberg for having released the Pentagon Papers, which set off a chain of events that brought down the Nixon White House; (6) pumped up Pakistan’s ISI, and encouraged it to use political Islam to destabilize Afghanistan; (7) began the US’s arms-for-petrodollars dependency with Saudi Arabia and pre-revolutionary Iran; (8) accelerated needless civil wars in southern Africa that, in the name of supporting white supremacy, left millions dead; (9) supported coups and death squads throughout Latin America; and (10) ingratiated himself with the first-generation neocons, such as Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, who would take American militarism to its next calamitous level. Read all about it in Kissinger’s Shadow!

And Human Rights Watch is reiterating its call for the United States to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, after Human Rights Watch says it found evidence the Saudi-led coalition used U.S.-supplied bombs in the deadly airstrikes on a crowded market in Yemen last month. The strikes killed at least 97 civilians, including 25 children. Medical clinic worker Othman Saleh spoke out about the aftermath of the attack.

Othman Saleh: "We received 44 wounded in total, including women, children and elders. Of those 44, two people died. Three others were in critical condition. They had to be taken to the ICU.

We all knew random killing, on the off chance the brown guy with a beard you see through the drone camera is a Muslim terrorist (or a Sikh), destabilizes a society and makes it fall apart. This is not news. It just didn't stop, for reasons I realize now had to do with the 'foreign policy philosophy' that the political establishment carries around with them... as outlined/dictated by Henry Kissinger (who happens to be a close friend of Hillary Clinton who has clearly shown she believes in the same foreign policy philosophy and Kissinger had even complimented her on it).

Now lets go over the evidence that the Democratic Establishment (Obama/Hillary/Kissnger) destabilized a country just as George Bush/Cheney/Kissinger destabilized Iraq.

Here is an interview with Ron Paul right after Anwar al-Awlaki was assassinated:

Ron Paul is pointing to the Fifth Amendment as the reason for the killing being illegal:

Amendment 5 to the Constitution  (Part of the Bill of Rights)
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without 

Amendment 6 In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. ]

Those who say that Anwar al-Awlaki was a traitor to the United States as a Citizen of the US are correct:

Article 3 - Section 3 of the Constitution

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confessionin open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attained.

Anwar al-Awlaki did encourage war against his country so it did count as treason yet he is not exempt from the law (even in Article 3 Section 3, its obvious the founding fathers thought traitors would be tried in open court).
