Is There a More Loathsome American than John Kerry?

Today the finger-wagger was out early and with a vengeance, determined to prove that he is the winner of the most disgusting and embarrassing American of 2014. The Secretary of State, with his chronic diarrhea of the mouth and increasingly shrill holier than thou attitude appeared on morning network television in all of his elitist Skull and Bones puckered asshole glory. The occasion was of course to once again smear former government contractor turned heroic NSA whistleblower as a "traitor"and a "coward" and demanding that Snowden "man up" whatever that means. The flaming liberal windbag from Massachusetts who hit the jackpot by marrying into the Heinz Ketchup Empire isn't much of an authority on "manning up" especially considering the dive that he took in Ohio in 2004 surrendering the presidency to another former Skull and Bones elitist swine George W. Bush despite widespread irregularities.

Kerry is the embodiment of America itself these days, once a heroic and noble 'war hero' (if you believe his self-serving career of cashing in like his pal John McCain) who denounced the Vietnam War as the lost cause that it always was Mr. Kerry has morphed into a powerful figure who is as vile and corrupt, as venal and hypocritical of the very system that he serves. This whole nutty soap opera of Kerry lying and threatening Putin, baiting Snowden and standing up for neo-Nazi scum in Ukraine is obviously personal. Snowden and Putin dared to show him up to his fellow high-rolling globalist snobs in the Davos set. Kerry once embodied a youthful idealism and a sense of honor and justice but now is just another poisoned, soulless wealthy cadaver, devoid of even a shred of morality nor the common decency to just resign and spare all of us Americans from the ongoing temper tantrums, demagoguery and huffing and puffing. If there were ever a man who should just go and fuck off forever it is John F. Kerry. As the great American columnist H.L. Mencken put it "imagine a gentleman and you have just imagined everything that he was not".

The forum for this pompous ass was CBS This Morning and Kerry's remarks are excerpted from the story in The Guardian entitled "Snowden unlikely to 'man up' in face of Espionage Act, legal adviser says":

In a television appearance on Wednesday morning, Kerry said that if Snowden were a “patriot”, he would return to the United States from Russia to face criminal charges. Snowden was charged last June with three felonies under the 1917 Espionage Act.

"This is a man who has betrayed his country,” Kerry told CBS News. “He should man up and come back to the US.”

Kerry’s comments came as NBC News prepared to broadcast an extended interview with Snowden on Wednesday night, beginning at 10pm ET. Snowden revealed his identity almost one year ago, on 9 June 2013.

Responding to Kerry’s comments on Wednesday, Ben Wizner, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union and a legal adviser to Snowden, said the whistleblower hoped to return to the United States one day, but that he could not do so under the current Espionage Act charges, which make it impossible for him to argue that his disclosures had served the common good.

“The laws under which Snowden is charged don’t distinguish between sharing information with the press in the public interest, and selling secrets to a foreign enemy,” Wizner said.

“The laws would not provide him any opportunity to say that the information never should have been withheld from the public in the first place. And the fact that the disclosures have led to the highest journalism rewards, have led to historic reforms in the US and around the world – all of that would be irrelevant in a prosecution under the espionage laws in the United States.”

Snowden also could face an untold number of additional charges if he returned to the United States. “He could be charged for each of the documents that has been published,” Wizner said. “The exposure that he faces is virtually unlimited under this.”

Wizner is correct, it is a rigged game and if Snowden were to be stupid enough to take vermin like Kerry at their word when it comes to fair treatment he would be disappeared immediately into one of America's torture gulags or simply just held forever in limbo in some tiny prison cell on a military base. But Snowden is not a stupid man and this most of all puts a bug up the tarnished types like Kerry who sold his soul for pennies on the dollar.

The real "traitors" in this country are the "cowards" who hid behind an archaic World War I law in The Espionage Act of 1917 that was created solely to persecute those who were opposed to the lying bastard and father of the rotten imperialism that came in that damned war's wake - Woodrow Wilson - another messianic meddler of the type that the USA, USA, USA has far too many in our cherished and often damnable history. The invocation of the Espionage Act by the lawless Obama regime reveals the grinning death's head behind El Presidente's Fozzie Bear Fascism and his regime stands for nothing more than the same rotten tyranny as that of George W. Bush only he has been made into a product that provides him with an impenetrable Teflon shield where the gullible and the O-Bots are unable to recognize his bullshit for what it is. The same type of imperialism as Wilson, Bush or any of the other war criminals who have held the exalted office. 

So Snowden gives hims ballyhooed interview tonight to NBC's lickspittle state-corporate celebrity talking head Brian Williams, I suppose that having to at some point turn oneself into the entertainment in the electronic court of bought off jackasses like Williams was inevitable to get any public exposure outside of the lies of state. The drive by attacks are already underway despite that we are hours from the interview's being aired.

During his sit down with the employee of the mammoth defense contractor GE, Snowden made the statement that he was "trained as a spy" or in the context from NBC News:

“I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word, in that I lived and worked undercover overseas — pretending to work in a job that I’m not — and even being assigned a name that was not mine,”

The propaganda machine pounced on that and all of the paid sock puppets and corrupt pundits and columnists are using this statement to paint the man as delusional and they can get away with it on this sorrowful star-spangled lemming farm simply because too many people cannot be bothered to fucking think for themselves. Snowden when with the CIA worked in a foreign country, under a false name, for a false front company conducting surveillance and data-mining operations - sure sounds like a fucking SPY to me.

The Snowden affair is playing out now, the interview with the corrupt NBC is a sing of that but the last of the real reporting by Glenn Greenwald has yet to be done. According to accounts the finale will include names of those that the NSA Stasi has spied on - I suspect that list will include a man known by Mr. Kerry named John Edwards, perhaps Eliot Spitzer and who knows how many more. I also hope that there is the wild card that is the MAIN CORE database that will be revealed and that when it all comes out that it will be enough to crucify every rotten cocksucker like that rancid son of a bitch John Kerry who sold out their country to a cross of their own corruption and let the birds pick out and eat their eyeballs while they hang there.

Putin Once Again Punks Barry and the Boys

The sound of the fury is deafening as it rolls forth across the fruited plain today. The crybaby American power elite, the at one time biggest, baddest bully on the whole spinning globe is throwing an ugly and prolonged snit over the reviled Russian leader Vladimir Putin sending troops into Ukraine to protect his own borders. The U.S. warmongers and whiners are braying today in a keening cacophony of petulant assholes who have had the grievous injury of not getting their way. The neo-Nazi backed fascist coup d’etat executed against Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych was to have been a triumphal bit of vengeance for Putin’s daring to offer up asylum to former government contactor turned patriotic NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden thereby sparing the young man a living hell of torture and imprisonment followed by a Stalin style show trial in The Homeland as well as his derailing of the war on Syria which was always based on lies from the onset.

No doubt that Putin stewed during the American led campaign of lies and hypocrisy carried out by dishonest demagogues and state media stooges during the Sochi Olympics and the ousting of Yanukovych by scum and thugs was obviously timed to inflict the ultimate indignity. But once again, Putin being the masterful politician and former KGB spy schooled Obama again. I always got a kick out of the assertions of my liberal friends that Barack Obama was like the Michael Jordan of politics, carefully and deliberately studying the defense of the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys and would at the exact moment of opportunity erupt in a whirling dervish of superhuman daredeviltry single-handedly winning the title as his badly outclassed opponents were left in a heap of despair watching the coronation of the champion. Well to use another of those wonderful sports analogies Putin just punked Obama again and made him into his bitch, there is nothing quite like being butt-fucked six ways from Sunday on the world stage. Obama is nothing more than an amateur and a narcissist, a self-important fool who was never really cut out for the big leagues to begin with.

Secretary of Skull and Bones John Kerry ripped Putin for his “incredible act of aggression” in Ukraine but this is the same stammering dolt whose chestnuts were pulled out of the fire over attacking Syria back in September by the Russian leader, it would have been an unmitigated disaster. Such an ingrate not to mention a colossal hypocrite and a fitting representative of a rogue state that flagrantly violates every premise of international law on a daily basis but when you are a member of the American elite the law can just be damned - laws are for the little people. Kerry is understandably pissed off  being one of the high-rolling Davos elite and an honorary piece of the corrupt Eurotrash that would have benefited enormously from cramming their latest round of crippling austerity programs stright up the asses of the Ukranian people. Not that Yanukovych personally stuck it to Kerry by nationalizing a Heinz Ketchup factory like Hugo Chavez did but that is another ongoing U.S. backed coup in a country that doesn’t sit on Russia’s border. Kerry's tirades actually began earlier this week when he carped about the lack of taste for U.S. intervention being the attitudes of a "poor country". This guy has no business whatsoever acting as Secretary of State as it is very obvious that he is a walking conflict of interest thanks to his marrying into the Heinz family fortunes and his history of flip-flopping, for example wining and dining his pal Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and then pushing for a military intervention to remove him from power.

Taking the place of the neo-Nazi loving Senator McCain on the on the Sunday morning bloviation circuit Kerry was everywhere today pushing the lies of the American gangster state. Other than appearing on Fox Kerry hit for the cycle appearing on all of the big three regular television networks to kick Putin in the balls – ostensibly for sending troops into Ukraine but really to avenge the twin insults of Snowden and Syria. The longtime Massachusetts Senator is man with a notoriously chronic case of diarrhea of the mouth while on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Kerry made the ludicrous statement that - "You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext". But in typical fashion the ever ridiculous hosts, in this case longtime insider and gravy train rider Bob Schieffer failed to call him on such obvious bullshit. What was allowed to go totally unmentioned is that the flag-wrapped exceptionalist people who run The Homeland have invaded another country on “completely trumped up pretext” in the 21st century when Obama's predecessors George W. Bush and Dick Cheney attacked and invaded Iraq - a country that did not even remotely threaten the U.S.  Saddam Hussein did NOT have weapons of mass destruction yet a costly and disastrous - at least in terms of American prestige - war was started under the exact type of completely made up horseshit that Kerry has the gall to  accuse Putin of. Hell, if anyone should understand this it is John Kerry – he ran against Bush for the presidency in 2004 for Christ’s sake.

On NBC’s "Meet the Press" Kerry whined about kicking Russia out of G8 and boasted about economic sanctions, pity the poor wounded empire that is unable to militarily bully Mr. Putin like it does everyone else and as for economic sanctions, none could more onerous and cruel than those which that have been inflicted upon the American people themselves. The failed economic policies of the Obama regime (or for that matter any establishment Republican regime) represent the ongoing fleecing of Americans to provide free gambling money to Wall Street casinos and to pay tribute to the global finance mafia that Kerry is a mouthpiece for.

Everyone is joining in on the scam too.  Mealy mouthed piss babies like Senator Lindsey Graham – in full bitch fit mode are going after Obama hammer and tong after dear leader was fed yet another one of those vodka-marinated shit sandwiches by Putin. Graham of course is fending off a tea party challenge to her longtime Senate seat and yet another public lynching of Obama, especially for not being tough enough on Putin sells well with the Jesus freaks, rubes and Birchers in the Palmetto State. Even the opportunistic Sarah Palin has slithered out of her spider hole to bemoan the lack of backbone by Obama in not launching a full-scale military invasion of Russia - which she could presumably see from her back porch.

On days like this I am ashamed to be an American but considering what a corrupt fascist shithole that this country has become I am pretty fucking  proud of it.

Spinning the Botched Seal Team Six Raid

Politicians never hesitate to hide behind “the children” when it comes to seeking cover, the little ones are right up there with old glory and the troops.  This week while spinning the botched Somalia raid by the hallowed  Seal Team Six, a military unit that is critical to the phony war on terror mythology the establishment quickly went to the well. After the most ass kicking military unit in the land was run out of Barawe with their tails between their legs under heavy fire it was sold as a strategic retreat so as to not harm “the children”. Funny that I don’t recall any such considerations for the safety of "the children" when it comes to drone strikes, cruise missile attacks, incendiary bombings or any of the other bravery of being out of range actions undertaken against the brown-skinned, non-Christians who are the targets of our imperialist policies. The Obama administration is certainly not shy about using “the children” for political purposes, this time it is to cover their asses for batting .667 over the weekend in black ops renditions but only weeks ago it was “the children” who laid dead at Ghouta, the victims of sarin gas and last year it was the Sandy Hook victims. Pretty damned shameless but dignity and grace have never been Barry’s strong points being the calculating political animal that he is.

Despite the triumphalism exhibited over the two successful renditions over the weekend, one being the kidnapping of the alleged perpetrator of embassy attacks back in the 20^th century, after which Secretary of Skull and Bones Kerry crowed “they can run but they can’t hide” in a rather eerie reinvention of the unspoken  “kill everything that moves” Vietnam  dictum the administration now is in damage control mode. Kerry, the windsurfing elitist who married into the Heinz ketchup family fortune after parlaying his Vietnam era experience into a national political platform conjured up memories of the fascist Bush administration by warning critics of our now firmly entrenched policies of kidnappings, torture and extrajudicial killings that “I think it’s important for people in the world not to sympathize with alleged terrorists.”  This of course speaks volumes about the rogue Obama regime’s ongoing war on journalists.  Now if you are a dissenter from the imperial policies you will be marked in some manner, the NSA Stasi sees everything and is warehousing all of that surveillance data in a gigantic complex in Utah where one day in the near future it will be used to retroactively identify enemies of the state and as in all authoritarian states their associates and families. Hitler, Mao and Stalin would have drooled over such capabilities.

The failed Seal Team Six raid will now join the list of taboo subjects in The Homeland and will be washed clean of the stench of illegality and failure by reliable state shills like NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski among many others. It will then be flushed down the memory hole once and for all. I suspect that at this very moment that the Pentagon planners and the narcissist in chief are concocting another series of commando raids to dominate the news cycles and divert attention from their enormous list of policy failures that have destroyed the economy and dragged America from the moral high ground it had occupied for decades – and sadly it did not go kicking and screaming when it was driven down. The new raids will be free of “the children” other than those who end up as “collateral damage”, Seal Team Six will be lionized once more and Obama and Kerry can prance around on the world stage, their complete and utter hypocrisy evident to all but themselves and the majority of their exceptional  people.

Windsurfing Towards Armageddon

John Kerry was anywhere and everywhere as he windsurfed towards Armageddon across the telecreens today. El Presidente Barack H. Obama’s top salesman for the upcoming kickoff of WW III appeared on several of the noxious weekly Sabbath gabfests hustling the administration line that – GASP – sarin gas was used on Syrian civilians last week. With faux moral outrage practically oozing out of his pampered elitist pores, the Secretary of Skull and Bones pimped this toxic bit of disinformation, spinning it for maximum effect. What Kerry didn’t bother with is that while the use of chemical weapons in Syria has really not been disputed at all it is still unknown as to exactly WHO used them. But such nuances are lost on the masses of asses who from early indications are swallowing Barry’s trickery hook, line and sinker.  The Sunday morning saturation bombing will dutifully be picked up by the state-corporate media echo chamber and the public mind will again be prepped for another outrageous and ruinous war of choice, this one certain to set off an uncontrollable chain reaction. The minute that the first wave of bombs and missiles hit oil prices will be sent soaring into the stratosphere. By the time that they hit escape velocity it will be far too late for the doomed ordinary schmucks who will experience the double-barreled economic shock of gas and food hyperinflation like a cattle prod to the testicles.

Kerry’s revelations are only meant to sway the sheeple into accepting the coming slaughter but they are really nothing than a straw man. The rogue leadership of the U.S. can waive their bloody flag and bray bogus patriotic blather until they are hoarse from their shouting but this is really not about concern for the poor gassed Syrians. Where was the threat of military force during the last two years when 100,000 Syrians were killed, often in a savage an brutal manner?  The White House has now also resorted to the disgusting and exploitative use of the “protect Israel” angle to enlist more public support for the coming military and economic debacle.  While Israel is a key U.S. ally, a virtual garrison of western power parked smack dab in the middle of a hostile territory of fanatical and irrational religion is it not it time to just start putting America first for a change? And by that I mean our own country and our civil liberties and economy, not big oil and gas and military industrial complex money making machines whose only loyalty is to filling their coffers with the profits that they extract from the infliction of human misery. Now there is a moral obscenity that Mr. Kerry can’t be troubled with.

The bizarre down the rabbit hole world of eternal war and freedom strangling domestic fascism that opened in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 has to end for this country will not survive otherwise. That rabbit hole is rapidly becoming a grave and unless there is a return to the principles upon which this once great country was founded upon we are destined for history’s scrapheap along with all of the rest of the failed empires.  It was the man touted as the father of this country, George Washington who warned of the perils of foreign entanglements yet today the amoral hucksters, crooks and self-aggrandizing rats who occupy the city that is named after him are hell bent on escalating hostilities in Syria in order to serve the interests of the elite. The elite that they are paid damned well to represent, you will never see the sons and daughters of the banksters at Goldman Sachs sent off to die in this war, that is for the little people.

The entire rotten D.C. Establishment is going to back Barry’s criminal war, there is always bipartisanship when it comes to such things, there are rebels like Justin Amash and Rand Paul but they are marginalized by a corrupt process that allows for a small cabal of lawmakers such as the always hyped Gang of Eight, a Senate within the Senate to ultimately dictate policy absent a true majority. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are already on board with this war and I still continue to hear the silly liberals who back the putrid atrocity that is the Democratic Party as if we actually live in a functional democracy. The real decision makers are all singing in unison in the madhouse choir as the war wagon careens towards the edge of a cliff into the abyss. Kerry may have been the most ubiquitous charlatan on the propaganda circuit but he was far from the only one. The state media has already been amplifying their chants for war more years on their websites and in their newspapers.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a fascist’s fascist is one of those leading the stampede to another war. A former FBI agent and the loudest of the surveillance state’s defenders Rogers was quoted by the beltway house organ Politico:

“For two years, the Iranian-backed Syrian regime has been free to engage in the slaughter of its own people with little but rhetorical responses from the United States. Now that the regime has crossed our red line regarding the use of chemical weapons, we must carefully consider whether the credibility of the United States necessitates military action to enforce that position,” Rogers said in a statement on Saturday. “We must also consider what message a failure to act would send to other adversaries and our allies around the world. And finally, we must debate whether a decision by Congress denying the President authority to respond with military force would fulfill U.S. national security interests.”

TRANSLATION: “fulfill U.S. national security interests” means instantly and forever shutting down any more inquiries into the massive, unconstitutional NSA Stasi and the swine in Congress, such as Mr. Rogers who have willingly enabled this cancer on a free society to metastasize.  Wagging the dog is the order of the day as the star spangled bunting is draped over what may ultimately be this nation’s last illicit foreign war, simply because it has the potential to turn into the planet destroying final conflict that will bust humanity back to the Stone Age. Thanks to treacherous snakes like Rogers, Kerry, Feinstein, McCain, Graham, Pelosi, Cheney, Bush and Obama just to name a few we really are not much different than our primal ancestors. Early humans gathered together into mobs and raiding parties to bash in the skulls of others with crude weaponry constructed with animal bones and rocks to steal their food and rape their women. Their methods were more savage but the need for violence and plunder is a thing that has never been completely purged from the gene pool as civilizations evolved.  It is due to the unquenchable and shameless thirst for power, money, influence and the eternal glory of having one’s name stamped into history as a winner of a great war that we have not been able to evolve as a society into a far more peaceful, decent and humble nation – one that minds our own business and actually occupies the moral high ground.

Despite the propagandizing, the pontificating and spewing of jingoist clichés and platitudes smothered in hypocrisy the Congressional seal of approval on WW III is all just a big lie anyway. It is non-binding so Barry and the boys are going to bomb the shit out of Syria anyway. This is all just political theater too allow for the scum and scoundrels who have hijacked this country to cover their asses and hide behind the tattered remnants of the Constitution when it turns into an irreversible global catastrophe. The hated Glenn Greenwald nails it in his latest column for The Guardian:

It’s a potent sign of how low the American political bar is set that gratitude is expressed because a US president says he will ask Congress to vote before he starts bombing another country that is not attacking or threatening the US. That the US will not become involved in foreign wars of choice without the consent of the American people through their representatives Congress is a central mandate of the US Constitution, not some enlightened, progressive innovation of the 21st century. George Bush, of course, sought Congressional approval for the war in Iraq (though he did so only once it was clear that Congress would grant it: I vividly remember watching then-Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Joe Biden practically begging the Bush White House to “allow” Congress to vote on the attack while promising in advance that they would approve for it).

But what makes the celebratory reaction to yesterday’s announcement particularly odd is that the Congressional vote which Obama said he would seek appears, in his mind, to have no binding force at all. There is no reason to believe that a Congressional rejection of the war’s authorization would constrain Obama in any way, other than perhaps politically. To the contrary, there is substantial evidence for the proposition that the White House sees the vote as purely advisory, i.e., meaningless.

Recall how – in one of most overlooked bad acts of the Obama administration – the House of Representatives actually voted, overwhelmingly, against authorizing the US war in Libya, and yet Obama simply ignored the vote and proceeded to prosecute the war anyway (just as Clinton did when the House rejected the authorization he wanted to bomb Kosovo, though, at least there, Congress later voted to allocate funds for the bombing campaign). Why would the White House view the President’s power to wage war in Libya as unconstrainable by Congress, yet view his power to wage war in Syria as dependent upon Congressional authorization?

Let’s face it, nothing is going to stop this from happening. The added time between Barry’s Rose Garden exercise in the bullshit dispersal on Saturday and the coming congressional ‘debate’ and subsequent vote only gives those with the most to gain from this war more time to manufacture additional outrage. Perhaps another sarin gas attack or two is in the offing. There is nothing quite like the exploitation of dead children that tugs on the heartstrings of gullible Americans who too easily offer up a meek consent of the governed along with the willingness to entrust their cynical leaders to undertake state atrocities in their name. They would have made good Germans..
