We live in an era of global neoliberalism, and the world it has created is pure horror - imperial wars, religious extremism, terrible social differences, poverty, exploitation, destruction of ecosystem and the dehumanization of man - these are just some of the anomalies that characterize this era.
Largely overlooked by the media in light of Trump’s leaked Access Hollywood video and Sunday’s presidential debate has been the volumes of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta released by Wikileaks. One revelation that has gained some traction are some of the remarks Secretary Clinton made while speaking to Wall Street bankers, in which she takes a very different position on trade agreements than what she has taken during her campaign. One email notes a speech where she says:
“Well, we got rid of Saddam, we got rid of Gaddafi. Neither went particularly well, did it? Now you want to get rid of Assad. It may be unpalatable, but at least he ran a secular state protecting minorities, both religious and political. The EU seems to want to change this for an Islamic state. We have a common enemy with the Russians in the potential theocratic governments in the Middle East. We should work with the Russians rather than against them. To combat the medieval religious anarchy ripping through the Middle East.” David Coburn, UKIP MEP, Debate: Situation in Syria, European Parliament, Strasbourg, 05 October 2016.

“Pa, otarasili smo se Sadama, otarasili smo se Gadafija. Nijedno nije završilo naročito dobro, zar ne? Sada želite da se otarasite Asada. To može zvučati neukusno, ali barem je vodio sekularnu državu koja je štitila manjine, kako verske tako i političke. EU čini se da želi da to zamijeni sa islamskom državom. Mi imamo zajedničkog neprijatelja sa Rusima u potencijalnim teokratskim vladama na Bliskom istoku. Trebalo bi da radimo sa Rusima umjesto protiv njih. U borbi protiv srednjovekovne vjerske anarhije koja prodire Bliskim istokom.” David Coburn, UKIP MEP, Debata: Situacija u Siriji, Evropski parlament, Strazburg, 5. Oktobar 2016.

“I was not an adviser to Pinochet. I was not an adviser to the Chilean government, but I am more than willing to share in the credit for the extraordinary job that our students did down there.” Professor Milton Friedman clears up controversy about his relation with Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
"Ja nisam bio savjetnik Pinočeu. Nisam bio savjetnik čileanskoj vladi, ali sam više nego voljan da dijelim dio zasluga za izvanredan posao koji su naši studenti tamo uradili." Profesor Milton Friedman razjašnjava kontroverze o njegovom odnosu sa čileanskim diktatorom Augusto Pinočeom.
