UNICEF is calling for $350 million to feed the starving Yemeni children, called “peanuts” compared the money spent on arms, says Al Jazeera. Newsweek reports that now 75 percent of Yemenis require humanitarian assistance. The U.N. has declared Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, yet the Saudis continue to attack civilians and are blamed for at least half the 1,300 children killed. The U.S. and the U.K. provide Saudi Arabia with 84 percent of its arms. Eight million Yemenis are on the brink of famine. On June 11, a newly built cholera facility was destroyed by U.S. bombs dropped by the Saudis, while Yemen’s cholera epidemic is the worst in history anywhere.

It was only a few weeks ago – in fact, it was before the Syrian chemical weapons incident – that the Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres said that Yemen was the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Yet once again Nikki Haley, the U.N. ambassador, was as quiet as a church house mouse!

She didn’t say a word. She certainly did not plead with the Security Council to intervene with decisive action against the perpetrators of the bombing campaign against the Yemeni people.\

I mean Haley and Mike Pompeo know exactly who is responsible for the crisis in Yemen, which has harmed mostly women and children, but for some reason there is NO LOVE FOR YEMEN! Why is that?

I suppose it is because Amerika and its ally Saudi Arabia did this to Yemen. And this ain’t all about Trump bashing any more. Oh no. Papa got a brand new bag! Or should I say Mama Hillary got a brand new bag? Allow me to explain myself:

Prior to Hillary Clinton becoming secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation accepted at least $10 million in donations from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After her appointment to the State Department in 2009, Clinton waived restrictions on selling weapons to those countries that had donated heavily to her family’s foundation.

Hilary’s State Department championed a $29.4 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in 2011. These F-15 fighter jets are currently being used to decimate Yemen and kill innocent civilians!

Now, we don’t hear Trump the Chump talking about that, do we?

U.S. dependence on Saudi oil has been superseded by the U.S. dependence on weapon sales. So, in essence, both the Republicans and the Democrats in Amerika are masterful at making war and playing Jedi mind tricks on the Amerikan public in order to divert our attention away from unscrupulous business deals and deceptive business practices made in the name of the imperialist regime. Or “mystery money” paid to Stephanie Clifford!

You know, sisters and brothers, I met a former U.S. congressman while I was in federal prison in early 2007 named Randall “Duke” Cunningham. And old Duke did some of the same things old Hillary did and some of the things old Donald Trump hasn’t been caught doing yet.

Yemeni lives mean nothing to these imperialist oppressors – John Bolton, Pompeo, Trump, Haley and the rest of the mob. They want Iran!

And they will do whatever it takes to accomplish their sinister goals! Now if this over-educated convict in Texas can see you, what makes you “geniuses” in the White House think no one else can see it? Oh, what a tangled web we weave! And, by the way, I ain’t shutting up!

Dare to struggle, dare to win! All power to the people!
