“The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure.”
The Clintons took money from hostile nations and defense contractors of domestic & foreign origin. Then, in systematic fashion, they approved government contracts for those companies, allowing them to distribute military hardware to those nations.
U.S. Code Title 22 Chapter 39 Subchapter I § 2752
(b) Responsibility for supervision and direction of sales, leases, financing, cooperative projects, and exports Under the direction of the President, the Secretary of State (taking into account other United States activities abroad, such as military assistance, economic assistance, and the food for peace program) shall be responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales, leases, financing, cooperative projects, and exports under this chapter, including, but not limited to, determining
- whether there will be a sale to or financing for a country and the amount thereof;
- whether there will be a lease to a country;
- whether there will be a cooperative project and the scope thereof; and
- whether there will be delivery or other performance under such sale, lease, cooperative project, or export, to the end that sales, financing, leases, cooperative projects, and exports will be integrated with other United States activities and to the end that the foreign policy of the United States would be best served thereby.
Clinton ran an agency that is responsible for regulating U.S. arms exports.
State Department exports approvals substantially increased to governments that donated to the Clinton Foundation.
Federal law explicitly designates the secretary of state as “responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, and early in her term, the State Department called one arms deal a “top priority” for Clinton.

US approved $40 billion in 2009 private arms sales | WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE | MAR 11 2011
- The U.S. government approved $40 billion in worldwide private arms sales in 2009, including more than $7 billion to Mideast and North African nations that are struggling with political upheaval, the State Department reported.
- From 2008 to 2009, the U.S. authorized increasing sales of military shipments to the now-toppled Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarak and the embattled kingdom of Bahrain.
- The $40 billion figure during the first year of the Obama administration reflects a rise in total approved arms sales over the final year of the Bush administration in 2008, when the State Department licensed $34.2 billion.
- The $7.3 billion in U.S.-approved defense sales to Mideast and North African countries in 2009 totaled up to nearly a fifth of the entire $40 billion in licensed sales – indications of both the region’s strategic importance and their governments’ willingness to pay top dollar for American defense equipment.
- Iraq, where U.S. forces are still drawing down and the fledgling government is struggling against militants, was the biggest buyer ($1.51 billion), closely followed by Turkey ($1.50 billion) and the United Arab Emirates ($1.09 billion).
U.S. Arms Sales Make Up Most of Global Market | AUG. 26, 2012 | NY TIMES ARTICLE
- Weapons sales by the United States tripled in 2011 to a record high, driven by major arms sales to Persian Gulf allies.
- Overseas weapons sales by the United States totaled $66.3 billion.
- The American weapons sales total was an “extraordinary increase” over the $21.4 billion in deals for 2010, the study found, and was the largest single-year sales total in the history of United States arms exports. The previous high was in fiscal year 2009, when American weapons sales overseas totaled nearly $31 billion.
- Increasing tensions drove a set of Persian Gulf nations – Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman to purchase weapons at record levels.
- The agreements with Saudi Arabia included the purchase of 84 advanced F-15 fighters, a variety of ammunition, missiles and logistics support, and upgrades of 70 of the F-15 fighters in the current fleet.
- Sales to Saudi Arabia last year also included dozens of Apache and Black Hawk helicopters, all contributing to a total Saudi weapons deal from the United States of $33.4 billion, according to the study.
- The United Arab Emirates purchased a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, an advanced antimissile shield that includes radars and is valued at $3.49 billion, as well as 16 Chinook helicopters for $939 million.
- Oman bought 18 F-16 fighters for $1.4 billion.
Here’s who buys the most weapons from the U.S. | CNN ARTICLE | MAY 25, 2016
- The U.S. is responsible for nearly 33% of worldwide exports — by far the top arms exporter on the planet — but which countries does the U.S. sell the most weapons to?
- Saudi Arabia was the top recipient of American-made arms from 2011-2015, followed closely by the United Arab Emirates.
- Experts believe the Middle East will remain a top destination for weapons for some time — it currently accounts for about 40% of U.S. arms exports — especially given the rise of ISIS.
- The American exports include everything from small arms to fighter jet aircraft and tanks, to Patriot Missile batteries.
- U.S. defense companies were explicit in their desire to boost international exports in the wake of recent defense budget cuts.
- CEO of U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin, Marillyn Hewson, said, “One area where we expect the majority of our growth potential to come from in the years ahead is our international customers.”
Under Clinton’s leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation | INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES
- Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States’ oil-rich ally in the Middle East.
- At press conferences in Washington to announce the department’s approval, an assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been “a top priority” for Clinton personally.
- In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
- Just two months before the deal was finalized, Boeing — the defense contractor that manufactures one of the fighter jets the Saudis were especially keen to acquire, the F-15 — contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to a company press release.

CLINTON ‘CHARITY’ RECEIVED ABOUT $12,000,000 FROM THE KING OF MOROCCO AND VARIOUS MOROCCAN OWNED ENTITIES | DAILYCALLER
- The Moroccan monarch’s funds went to the Clinton Foundation’s endowment and to CGI.
- The actual meeting was paid for by OCP, the Moroccan-government-owned mining company that has been accused of serious human rights violations. Clinton vigorously supported the Moroccan King as Secretary of State and the U.S.-financed Export-Import Bank gave OCP a $92 million loan guarantee during her tenure.
- The mining company also contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the charity’s web site.
- The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice charged OCP with “serious human rights violations,” including exploitation of workers by not “adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.”
- “OCP is the first beneficiary of the war and the first beneficiary of the occupation — it is the one that is cashing in on the misery of thousands of refugees and hundreds of political detainees for the past 40 years.”

- “This was HRC’s idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting.”
- “She created this mess and she knows it.”

POLITICO | APR 8, 2015
- During her State Department tenure, Clinton visited Morocco, and later launched an ongoing U.S.-Morocco strategic dialogue (the latest installment of which is set to occur in Washington this week), praising the country in 2012 “as a leader and a model.”
POLITICO | APR 15, 2015
- The lavish conference for major American politicians aside, OCP also managed to secure more than $92 million in Export-Import Bank subsidies in 2014 alone.
- And, in yet another coincidence, Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton remains a staunch Ex-Im supporter. It was great deal for this company, the
Moroccan government, and the Clintons—but a bad deal for American taxpayers.

German Jailed for Aiding Libya’s Chemical Weapons Program | AP
- The United States accused Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi of building the world’s largest underground chemical weapons plant in a mountain at Tarhunah, 40 miles southeast of Tripoli.
- In the 1980s, German companies helped build the largest chemical weapons factory in the world. Libya said it was designed to produce drugs, not poison gas.
TLDR – LIBYA
- Clinton and Obama overthrew the Libyan government, sending Libya into chaos.
- The United Nations imposed an arms embargo on Libya.
- We lost track of Gadhafi’s weapons, including chemical weapons. It turns out he had more than we knew about.
- Obama and Clinton gave many of them to ISIS using a Qatari arms trafficking network. The rest were up for grabs.
- Obama gave Qatar his approval to transfer of 20,000 tons of weapons from Qatar to… Well we’re not exactly sure who still. Basically everyone.
- Since then, The Obama Administration has approved over $9 billion in US arms exports to Qatar.
- Libya is now a strong hold for ISIS.
- ISIS is controlling the human trafficking network in Libya, profiting immensely.
- Libya, the country that once acted as the gatekeep for Europe, has become a major immigration hub for emigrants headed to Europe.
- Some of Gadhafi’s Sarin gas was taken to Syria.
- Obama and Clinton were working behind the scenes to topple Assad’s government in Syria.
