Diana Johnstone - Queen of Chaos: The Misadventures of Hillary Clinton

Praise for Diana Johnstones
Queen of Chaos

Veteran journalist Diana Johnstone captures the imperial worldview of Hillary Clinton in memorable detail. Hillary the Hawk, as U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, never saw a weapons systems she did not support nor a U.S. war practice she did not endorse. This included her hyper-aggressive launch of the war on Libya (against the opposition of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates) and the resulting sprawling chaos, violence and weapons dispersal spilling beyond Libyas war-torn society to larger regions of central Africa. Johnstone documents Hillary Clinton as the top salesperson for the ruling oligarchy and the favorite candidate of the War Party. That is what is at stake in November 2016.

In Queen of Chaos, Johnstone issues a Herculean call for peace. Similarly, in another work, Dr. June Terpstra warns us to Beware the Women of the Hegemon, whose policy positions are as warlike as any mans. Johnstone shows us that like Madeleine Albright, the first woman U.S. Secretary of State before her, Clinton can defend sanctions regimes, bombs, and drone attacks as well as any man. As Johnstone guides us from Honduras to Libya, it becomes clear that Hillary qualifies as a woman of the Hegemon, supporting a belligerent U.S. foreign policy on almost every Continent Hillary Clinton stole democracy from the Haitian people. She stole their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations for themselves; she stole their human rights. Now, if Hillary Clinton would do that to them, theres no telling what she will do to us. Johnstone gives us a kind of primer on Hillary Clintons foreign policy past: from genocide to 'We came, we saw, he died!' I think its clear: should Hillary Clinton become Madam President, we aint seen nothing yet.

Hillary Clinton, 'the top salesperson for the ruling oligarchy,' known in some quarters as Hitlery, has met her match in Diana Johnstone. This is a marvelous book, easy to read, by a superb writer who demonstrates that Hitlerys ambition would bring not peace and justice but World War III. This is a must read book that provides escape into reality from endless hype. The world stands on the cusp of destruction. Hillary would ensure destruction.

Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, author How the Economy Was Lost

Wow! No other book cuts so starkly and accurately to the heart of the current violent chaos engulfing the world, and to the significance of Hillary Rodham Clintons decades-long love affair with power that has helped push us to this precarious moment in history. The well-researched chronology and factual details compiled by Diana Johnstone about Honduras, Rwanda, Libya, Bosnia and Kosovo, to Iraq, Syria and Ukraine, turned into bloodbaths and finally into dangerous, failed states, constitutes the harsh reality that we need to appreciate if, as decent people, we want to regain some moral conscience. But also for our simple self-preservation.

"Certainly Hillary is not the only neocon pyromaniac who likes to set a fire and then laugh when no one can put it out. But as she now vies for leadership of that cabal, more and more people will hopefully see through their Orwellian lies, effectively selling perpetual war to the US-NATO-Israel as a noble cause to bring democracy, human rights, peace and love. Self-perpetuating war may indeed make the war profiteers happy and wealthy who so prominently top the Clintons donor list, but it is indeed as stupid as playing with fire. In putting a nuclear-armed Russia in their sights, the story cannot end well for anyone. I can assure that if you read Johnstones book, you will want to help put out this insanity."

Coleen Rowley, retired FBI Agent and former Minneapolis Division Legal Counsel, whistleblower and one of TIME Magazines Persons of the Year for 2002.

Diana Johnstones wit, clarity of style and political lucidity in this book are matched only by Hilary Clintons opportunism, meanness and self-delusion in the service of the American empire.

Jean Bricmont, author Humanitarian Imperialism

If you are still fooled by Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as the Democratic Party, then Diana Johnstones book will dispel the myth that either they or the party are redeemable. Hillary, like her husband, Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership, are controlled by corporate money and willing accomplices in the crimes of empire. Her appeal to gender holds no more promise for the poor, the working class or the wretched of the earth we tyrannize around the globe than Obamas appeal to race. The predatory engines of corporate capitalism and the security and surveillance state will run as smoothly under her direction as they did under her predecessor. If you doubt this, read this book.

Chris Hedges, author of Wages of Rebellion

***

Count on this witty, wise critique of U.S. Exceptionalism to expose Hillary Clintons ruthless ambition. In keeping with past pursuits to win, Hillary Clinton caters to beneficiaries of systems based on greed and violence. Johnstone engages in 'slice and dice' analysis, but in describing Queen of Chaos, Johnstone consistently suggests alternative policies based on respect for human rights, particularly the rights of those most harmed by the menacing, destructive reach of U.S. Empire.

Kathy Kelly, author Other Lands Have Dreams

***

Diana Johnstones Queen of Chaos is an excellent source of information for Hillary Clintons political rivals But its much more than that. It offers very perceptive accounts of US foreign policy of the last 25 years, particularly the complex and highly controversial cases of Libya, Yugoslavia, Honduras and Russia, as well as the issue of women in power. Is there something wrong with American women, Johnstone asks, that they need Hillary Clinton as President to make them feel better?

Introduction

Baby boomer Hillary Rodham was born in 1947, one year before U.S. policy planner George F. Kennan famously wrote that: We have about 50% of the worlds wealth, but only 6.3% of its population.... In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity.

Hillary, a Republican and a Goldwater girl in her youth, grew up with the viewpoint of a rich and dominant America obliged to maintain its position on top of an envious and resentful world. This was the standard attitude.

It was the result of World War II. The United States won the war in the Pacific. In Europe, the overwhelming military victor was the Soviet Union a reality that has been obscured by Hollywood movies and repeated celebrations of the D-Day landing in Normandy, overlooking the fact that the Red Army was already pinning down and defeating the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. But the economic victor of World War II was overwhelmingly the United States of America. In a world largely devastated and indebted by war, the United States emerged with the huge advantage emphasized by George Kennan.
