Assange:
Clinton & ISIS funded by same money, Trump won’t be allowed to
win (JOHN PILGER EXCLUSIVE)
RT,

November, 2016
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 in an
exclusive interview, courtesy of Dartmouth Films.
“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.”
Assange
and Pilger, who sat down for their 25-minute interview at the
Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where the whistleblower has been a
refugee since 2012, then talk about the conflict of interest between
Clinton’s official post, which held throughout Obama’s first
term, her husband’s nonprofit, and the Middle East officials, whose
stated desire to fight terrorism may not have been sincere.
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.
Pilger
also questioned Assange over increasingly frequent accusations from
the Clinton camp, and Western media, that WikiLeaks is looking to
swing next week’s US presidential election in favor of Donald Trump
– perhaps at Russia’s behest.
But
Assange dismissed the prospect of Trump, who is behind in the polls,
winning as unlikely – and not necessarily due to his standing with
the electorate.
“My
analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say
that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does
not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the
Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment,” said Assange.
“Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all
united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners,
and the journalists themselves.”
