On
March 16, 2016 WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive for 30,322
emails & email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton's
private email server while she was Secretary of State. The 50,547
pages of documents span from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014. 7,570 of
the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton. The emails were made
available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department
as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. The final PDFs
were made available on February 29, 2016.
A letter
from Clintons'
top advisor Sidney Blumenthal
to Hillary Clinton in 2010, describes his conversation with former
Vice Chancellor of Germany, Joschka Fischer (director of the Nabucco
pipeline project at that time*,
as noted in the letter), on Iran, Saudi Arabia issues.
It appears
that, at that time, "harsh, targeted sanctions" against
Iran were "absolutely necessary" according to the US
establishment and its Western allies.
However,
Blumenthal pointed that “A purely condign
sanctions strategy can contribute to the regime's will to punish and
tighten repression. Talking of regime change, of course, undermines
the cause of regime change. It is a gift to the regime. The
opposition is a new factor in the Iran equation that must be taken
into account on the political and moral level. Pushed to the wall,
the regime may feel compelled to repress, which might involve
thousands or tens of thousands of political killings.”
Yet, the
most interesting part comes at the end of the letter with Fischer's
view on "Saudi bomb":
“On
Saudi Arabia, Fischer points out that if
Iran develops nuclear weaponry the Saudis already
have their own bomb. The Saudis invested in Pakistan's nuclear
weaponry partly for this eventuality; that's their bomb in reserve.”
This is a
characteristic example of how the brutal Saudi regime is treated by
the West compared to the Iranian government. The Iranians are treated
as a dangerous regime, apparently because they are considered
Russia's allies, and pushed to the edge in order to abandon their
nuclear program. At the same time, it has been proved that the
Westerners knew that the Saudis had already invested on "proxy"
nuclear weaponry through Pakistan.
A few years
later, Iran reached a deal with the US paying the price of a strict
surveillance concerning its nuclear program, but no one bothers to
deal with the Saudi regime who supported Daesh in Syria, together
with Turkey, bringing absolute mess in the Middle East.
Consider
that the US were forced to make a deal with Iran, partly because they
probably thought that they could "use" it to clean up the
mess in Middle East together with Russia, Hezbollah and the Kurds.
Indeed: Barbarians
- fools - hypocrites to the bone ...

In 2009, Fischer took a post as adviser to the
Nabucco pipeline project, in which the German RWE company is also
involved. According to media reports, the “six-digit salary”
consultancy contract has already been signed.
