And the rising star in the Le Pen family, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen

While declining to endorse any of the US presidential front-runners, Le Pen said she believes there is one that would definitely not benefit France.
“There is a candidate who appears a lot more dangerous for France than the others – that’s Hillary Clinton,” the head of the National Front told RT France in an exclusive interview. “I’m not American so I don’t need to make a choice. But… in the interests of France, Hillary Clinton is probably the worst choice out there.”
Le Pen sees the Democratic frontrunner as being so “dangerous” because of Clinton’s career as US Secretary of State, in which she worked “hand in hand with the full spectrum of American decisions” that eventually “plunged the world objectively into chaos.”
“I think if she was elected she would continue this policy, a destructive policy, a policy of conflict, a policy of imprisonment of Europe in blinded Atlanticism,” Le Pen said. “I think it’s a danger for world peace.”
In December, Le Pen, who herself hopes to win France’s 2017 presidential elections, criticized Republican frontrunner Donald Trump for proposing to ban almost all Muslims from entering the United States.
“Seriously, have you ever heard me say something like that?” Le Pen said in one of her interviews, presumably in response to being compared with Trump. “I defend all the French people in France, regardless of their origin, regardless of their religion.”
The US media has repeatedly drawn comparisons between Marine Le Pen and Trump. The New York Times called the real estate mogul turned GOP frontrunner “America’s Marine Le Pen”. Bloomberg has also referred to Le Pen as “Europe’s own Donald Trump.”
While Marine Le Pen hasn’t explicitly named a “preferable” candidate for US president, her father has.
Jean-Marie Le Pen, retired long-time leader and founder of the French National Front, made headlines in February by endorsing Trump in a tweet, in which he said that if he was an American, he “would vote Donald Trump.”
Always “far right” but never “far left”.
Over there, everyone is so far to the left that Bill Clinton or Bernie Sanders would be considered “far right” ;) But I do think Hitlery would indeed get us involved in a war just to prove that she can be as tough as any man.....
I love the fact that she is honest enough to say that Clinton was bad for France and not try and tell us that what she wanted was good for the United states, she was also respectful of us by not making an endorsement. though this statement is pretty close to an endorsement.
In the European press “far right” simply means someone who believes in borders and immigration laws.
The the European Press that pretty much makes them a "Fascist."
Yes, politicians often show their bravery by sending other people to fight and die. Most politicians are willing to fight to the last 19-year-old.
“Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.” - Lord Farquaad.
Le Pen still doesn't get it.
<><> For public consumption, Sid was beng touted as a $325,000 Clinton Foundation hire---the factotum hired to preserve Bill's pesidential legacy (cue laugh machine).
<><> Sid's emails show he had classified info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).
<><> Blumenthal was urging Hillary to bomb Libya b/c he had profit-making business interests predicated on a new Libyan govt.
<><> Sid also used scare tactics----that Obama would lose reelection if they didn't bomb Libya.
<><> Hillary passed on this information to Obama.....did he know it came from a person he banned from govt employment?
==============================================
REALITY CHECK Blumenthal was engaged in a massive conflict of interest since he was simultaneously being paid by (a) The Clinton Foundation, (b) Hillary's 2016 organizers, and, (3) businessmen w/ interests in Libya.
If Clinton knew, her actions in circulating memos precipitated by Blumenthal was egregious. If she did not know, her recklessness is subject to US laws.
Keep in mind that---to its donors and to the world beyond---all they knew was that the Clinton Foundation hired Sid Blumenthal to..... (wait for it)..... "promote Bill's presidential legacy." That's what Sid was supposed to be doing for his $325,000 foundation salary.
Now if the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees signed off on the Blumenthal hire without being appraised of the full scope of his duties....that would violate state laws and place the trustees in legal jeopardy.
==============================================
REFERENCES The implications of this Blumenthal revelation are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:
<><> Among the newly revealed (Benghazi) e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.
<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Osprey’s ability to be an American counterweight.
<><> “It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants,” Blumenthal wrote of Osprey’s TNC contract. He described his efforts in “putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”
<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.

In a crisis type of emergency there is a lot of confusion and people are under stress. Because of this, sometime they make very candid comments that, in retrospect, become very interesting and revealing .
One such comment was made by a high level woman working for Hillary Clinton in the State Department when she was being interviewed about potential security breaches live on the air a few hours after the start of the Benghazi attack.
The comment was that Amb Stevens visit to Benghazi that day was related to a meeting with undisclosed parties regarding very sensitive Libyan oil contracts and that Stevens was personally carrying a brief case filled with a large number of important and highly sensitive and very secret oil related contracts and documents . She said that the brief case could not be located and this was cause for grave concern by many in the State Dept.
That was the first and last time that was reported. Given what we now know about Clinton's mixing of personal business and official Sec of State job functions combined with what we know about her dealings with Sidney, makes for some interesting speculation
Hillary was so damn secretive, so dam cocksure none of this would get out.
===============================================
HOW RICH ARE THEY? At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples mega income.
Bills honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.
===============================================
I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.
The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.
Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.
THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.
At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....
.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......
================================================
The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.
Muammar Gaddafi was the richest man in the world.
He took over Libya's oil wealth in 1969 and had been pocketing it ever since.
His net worth was estimated at over 2 TRILLION dollars.
Most of that wealth was in grey area European holdings with murky shell companies and transparent, convoluted chains of ownership or title administered by shady European front men acting as cut outs to avoid sanctions.
His primary method of controlling his EU financial empire and keeping his EU front men cut outs honest was his ruthless and bloodthirsty secret police - if you tried to cheat, steal, skim or rip him off, he simply had you kidnapped and painfully tortured to death.
The Libya war was a hostile takeover of Gaddafi's financial empire and Libya's oil field wealth by well connected politicians allied with some of Gaddafi's insiders and financiers.
With Gaddafi, his family and his secret police all dead or out of the way thanks to Obama and Hillary Clinton's “zero foot print” American executed war there was nothing to prevent his EU cut out from moving in and taking their full personal control of his assets and divvy them up amongst themselves.
since there were no American ground troops present in Libya, there was no third parties to witness their wholesale rip off of Libya or to find any paper trail documenting the whereabouts or ownership trail of Gaddafi's the vast holdings in his financial empire.
You can bet Obama, Clinton and Blumenthal all got a pretty good chunk of Gaddafi's wealth in return for their services rendered in using the United States military to overthrow Gaddafi
The buzz was they were able to find Khadaffis’ piles of gold bars in a bank vault.
