  1. Hilary (Cloven hoofed spawn of Satan) Clinton is almost as bad as Trump. When it comes to foreign policy, public perception vs reality is often very different, take Iraq and the lies used as justification for the war, the supposed WMDs or Let's take the public perception of Libya vs the actual reality. We were told he was a vicious dictator abusing his people, we needed to "defend, liberate" them. While we may (via our misunderstanding of the green system) assume Gaddafi was a dictator, under him: Education and medical treatment were free, Newlyweds received U.S $50,000 from the government, Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, Libya had no external debt and had reserves of $150 billion most of which were frozen globally at the time of the war, The price of petrol was $0,14 per litre, Having a home was considered a human right, Gender equality actually a reality, The Human Development Index of Libya was better than two-thirds of the countries reported on it, Privatization of all Libyan oil to every citizen, People had enough food - no food banks or starvation. Yet we went in toppled his government and avoided him setting up an African currency, the Dinar, which backed by 143 tonnes of gold would have threatened the petrodollar. The public believed we were attacking a threat or freeing a people, but in essence, Libya may, even under a so-called dictator, have had a better standard of living than us in the West. The reality is that Libya dropped the petrodollar for oil sales and was going to create a rival currency the African Dinar backed by 143 tonnes of gold, to be used for African and some Middle East oil sales. That would have threatened the petrodollar and hence devalued US currency.
