Kerry, John Kerry: Defense Secretary
Just when the newsflow surrounding America's military-industrial complex couldn't get any more surreal, and on Veterans day on top of everything, here comes the WaPo with news that virtually assures all defense companies should open limit up tomorrow: "President Obama is considering asking Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) to serve as his next defense secretary, part of an extensive rearrangement of his national security team that will include a permanent replacement for former CIA director David H. Petraeus." That's right: John "Swiftboat" Kerry, the same John Kerry who accused Vietnam vets of committing war crimes; the same John Kerry of the whole military service controversy.
More "Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations." As to Petraeus, who may or may not testify over the Benghazi affair, but apparently is excused due to his familial infidelities, and whose sexual dalliances were (not) ironically captured best by The Onion, his replacement is also becoming clear: "John O. Brennan, Obama’s chief counterterrorism adviser, is a leading contender for the CIA job if he wants it, officials said. If Brennan goes ahead with his plan to leave government, Michael J. Morell, the agency’s acting director, is the prohibitive favorite to take over permanently. Officials cautioned that the White House discussions are still in the early phases and that no decisions have been made."
Rice, one of an inner circle of aides who have been with Obama since his first presidential campaign in 2007, is under particular fire over the Benghazi incident, in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed.
Some Republican lawmakers have suggested that she was part of what they suspect was an initial, election-related attempt to portray the attack as a peaceful demonstration that turned violent, rather than what the administration now acknowledges was an organized terrorist assault.
Rice’s description, days after the attack, of a protest gone wrong was either intentionally misleading or incompetent, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday. Rice, he said, “would have an incredibly difficult time” winning Senate confirmation as secretary of state.
But several White House officials said Obama is prepared to dig in his heels over her nomination to replace outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Rice’s post-Benghazi remarks on several television news shows were merely a recitation of administration talking points drawn directly from intelligence available at the time, said the senior administration officials, who agreed to discuss the closely held transition planning only on the condition of anonymity.
While the "cons" of Kerry in charge of US defense are quite obvious to everyone, the "pros" is undeniable: Kerry will soon be given the chance to talk any and all US enemies, foreign and domestic, if not to death then certainly to near comatose state.

Another Skull & Bones character...
Read "War is a Racket" by USMC Major General Smedley Butler: http://archive.org/stream/WarIsARacket/WarIsARacket_djvu.txt
Republican senators refuse to take Karl Rove's phone calls.
John Kerry walks into a bar. The bar tender asks: "Why the long face?"
I voted against that nuclear attack before I voted for it...
Come on Karl Rove, bring on the hate. Can't you get Condi the job?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_rolled is out. Karl Roving is in! In the dumpster that is.
You, too, can Karl Rove. Create a link that describes what a failure Karl Rove is, and you will have Karl Roved! It is the newest Internet sensation.
Well, if Kerrry declines the nomination, there's always that other heavily decorated veteran, Al Gore.
I just start involuntary evil laughing these days when I hear the name Karl Rove.
For Pure Unadulterated Revenge. That's all this is about.

Edit: And, I don't feel the need to monitor mainstream media news propaganda anymore. Win Win situation.
i voted for gary johnson (and beat the draft) but both kerry and gore actually were in vietnam when the war was on, unlike g.w. bush, cheney, joe lieberman, john bolton, paul wolfowitz, scooter libby.... the list of chickenhawks is nearly endless, indeed g.w. has a post on it above.
At least this guy has experienced war to some extent.
War is hell.

There is a limited pool of 33 degree Freemasons to choose from.
Hence the same fucktards
Just wondering who are the assholes who junked you on this one???? Truth is truth!
Kerry is a shill for corporatists, and he is a college boy brat who believes everything he was told, and he has had NO experience of the world beyond his own arse....and the money of his wives. Mossad knows that he is an 'educated fool' and 'useful idiot'.
It may be amusing for some ZHers to mock Kerry or support him.
Divide and conquer. Useful for your foes.
Kerry's wife pulls his strings. She wears the pants in that family.
Along with McStain, Skerry helped cover up the missing MIAs from Nam.
He's as evil as the rest. Move along.
Markmotive,
Thanks for the video link. Documentary highly recommended. Very well done. Saved to favorites.
And he didn't "accuse" Americans of War Crimes in Vietnam, he simply pointed out the obvious truth about them.
Of course they continue today.
He relayed the veterans' own stories at their request. And yes, the atrocities continue as does the desire of the troops to tell their fellow citizens the truth about war.
You can say what you like about Kerry, but he served honorably. I doubt if 80% of the American yahoos on ZH have ever served their country in any capacity.
I doubt that 80 percent of Americans worked to hide the truth about missing MIAs, too, or fit into stories like this in odd ways:

And Kerry chose this fellow to introduce him at the convention (to accept the nomination in 04), a "swift boat" comrade--whatever.

From the piece:
A lawyer who served in the Clinton administration and more recently was an adviser to California's lieutenant governor pleaded guilty to a child porn charge in a San Diego federal court Monday.
Wade Rowland Sanders admitted to having 600 images of minors on his computer, including a video depicting "several prepubescent females engaged in sexual conduct with an adult male and performing oral sex on one another," according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Karen Hewitt.

A one-party political system in which 99% vote for more of the same---no matter which clown won----nothing scary at all about it.
Just a lot hot air on the web and at ZH from the troll/zombies of the u. s.
I used to think that there would be a change in y country, but there is no chance of this now.
Only two million voted for 'other' and probably 80% of those were just children with no idea of anything. I hope I am wrong about all of this and just an angry oldman, but it feels more like the most profound sadness of y life.

Actually, flacon, Kerry would have the first word:
"Do you know who I am ?"
Can't let Kerry pass by without slipping one of my knives through his ribs...metaphorically ;-)
"As a member of the Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on Health, Kerry played a key role in shaping President Obama's healthcare reform legislation in 2009 — while also raking in cash from healthcare investments.
Here's how he did it, according to Schweizer:
Schweizer notes that Kerry has been cashing in on inside information about the healthcare industry since long before Obamacare:

Wiiiiilllber....
Of course, of course!
Teva?... Isn't that an Israeli company?...
Yes, I've been rollin that around in the noggin.
Was it Leon's policy to do a gun running operation to AQ in order to overthrow Quackdaffi or someone elses? Seems like someone over at Aviano or Sigonella air base would have said...ummm, these are my aircraft son...where's your orders.
No "assets" available for Benghazi huh?
to bad Les had a sudden heart attack, I'm sure he could have told some stories.
Leon is what you might call an 'all purpose guy'. He seems to have this certain 'knack' for doing whatever is available. He pretty much is an El Capitan of sorts. Definitely a 'made' man. He knows the right people and has a nose for finding opportunity whenever it happens to knock.
Quite the little patriot. No doubt about it.
:)
He and Bush are fraternity brothers in a frat that takes just 15 new members per year.
They were paired in an election from a country of over 300 million.
There's a pattern here, but i just can't figure it out....
Most them are also blood line relatives. Despite their truly pathetic performances, they believe themselves genetically superior to the common man. I, on the other hand, consider them inbred.
If you believed that you were either the direct descendent of Jesus Christ or the Annuki Reptilian blood line, you'd feel free to piss upon the peasantry, too.
You always come through with a well-placed comment about Reptilian overlords (which is not really that unrealistic when you take a look at John Kerry). Alway good for a laugh in these shit-infested times.
Q: What do you call it when an Annuki Reptilian sheds?

John Forbes Kerry -- the vetting/financial disclosure statement(s) should be rather interesting, as Kerry's "net worth" is largely his second wife's first husband's trust fund.
Heinz ketchup for everyone!
It is not just a condiment. It's a food group.
At least we will save some money relative to cost of flying Panetta to California every weekend. Kerry is rich enough to afford his own jet and pay for the fuel. Oops, but he is cheap enough to send the bill to the counter staff at Mickey D's
He laid in a coffin filled with shit and masterbated with his buddies at Yale. Later, he (may have) attended orgies with gay porn stars, children, and animals like the edited one in Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut. A real one of a kind Ameirican Patriot.
He's certainly QUALIFIED, then...

But ZeroHedge is sounding more andmore like a Republican echo chamber by the day. Swifboats, really? Fuck.
It's true. About ZH. Hard Right, Hard down turn in the very recent past.
And likewise for comments too. Perhaps an echo-chamber for the mood in gold-lovng libertarian world?
Curious though.

Now that we are doomed to another 4 years of the fraud in chief I really wish this blog and others like it would more heavily cover the story of Obama's fraudulent documents. Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen it here. This is such an open and shut case and it's so obvious. I implore you to hammer this story relentlessly until there is more mainstream awareness.... http://www.singledudetravel.com/2012/11/obamas-fraudulent-documents-how-...
Wait a sec, I thought Leon Panetta was Secretary of "Defense." He resigning too?
No, but his mistress's voicemail is full of threatening messages.
get ready for a new false flag with this criminal!
WTF? This man risked his life in real war, one of the worst for american soldiers, and he is mocked that his wife is the pants bearer in the family? And you supposedly read "War is a Racket", especially the Chapter THREE - "Who Pays the Bills?". Here is an excerpt:
"Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed. Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone. In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone. There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement -- the young boys couldn't stand it.
That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead -- they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded -- they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too -- they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam -- on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. The paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain -- with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby."Something is really sick in this picture.
The guy who took his own camera crew to film himself in Vietnam should be very happy with all the facetime he gets as Secretary of Offense. I mean Defense, I think...whichever
John fucking Kerry?
Bernie Madoff for Treas. Sec. and Jon Corzine for Atty. Gen, fuck it
I've never seen a country more proud to fuck itself in the ass.

phhhht.
now now. let's review the facts. kerry may well be a fool and a scoundrel (damn he marries well from a financial point of view) but he did request assignment to vietnam in 1968: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_career_of_John_Kerry)
his antiwar activity (which i much appreciated at the time) began after he returned to the u.s. and was not well received by the country's rulers at the time.
neither strikes me as lack of backbone.
yeah, if your trying to looky on the bright side of things.... otherwise - it's the aftermath of the mormonmafia/neonazicon's unsuccesful 'october/9-11'suprise with a dash of petraeus honeypot double blackmail cover-up revelations to make it reeeeeally hard for obama to explain his way out of. and that's the bright side. (if i didn't do justice to things here's ben for his take - http://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/benjamin-fulford-11-12-12-wor... )
A kept man,a toy boy as United States Secretary of Defense.
Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass........
We are the laughing stock of the world. WW III cannot be far behind.
Hey!!!...he come by that wealth fair & square...he married the widow of a republican ;-)
Then he kept $millions in campaign funds from his 2004 presidential run. The source of his personal fortune.
Or so it is alleged.
Seems to be the going thing...I believe Jesse Jr. is about to cop a plea for the same thing. Of course he was overwhelmingly re-elected, without campaigning...while he sat in "a nuthouse" basically.
What're gonna do right...people are fucked up in Chicago.
Cultural, nmewn, it's cultural
(And "cultural" ain't been hit up as politiically incorrect, neither)
Yes, it is cultural...I don't know how to break through it...it makes me sad & pissed at the same time.
Not our job to break through it or even understand it, for it is what it is....
It's just our job to Report It As We See It

Little off topic, but the headline below should be the most important of the day. 20 States have started petitions for secession.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/secission-petitions-filed-20-states-...
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions
And...Fla, Texas and Louisiana aren't the least bit interested in setting up "ObamaCare healthcare exchanges".
These states refused.
I guess Pelosi should have read it herself before she passed it ;-)
Here in FL the anti-ObamaCare amendment failed. It was slightly close but those who voted for Obama here took care of that for the rest of us.
The way I understand it, is there is no federal funding mechanism in the federal law as passed, the federals assumed the states would just roll over.
http://healthreform.kff.org/en/state-exchange-profiles/florida.aspx
An unfunded mandate...unconstitutional and the House is not going to be in a hurry to fix Pelosi's mess. Am I missing something?
That cannot be true, it's simply too hilarious.
Are you kidding me?
From what I understand, they didn't put the federal funding mechanism for the state exchanges into the law.
Properly written law, has intent & purpose and funding to achieve the intent and purpose.
At the federal level, they've gotten used to socialistic edicts and mandates...the really feel good political stuff...reality is a puffed up, botoxed bitch ;-)
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/09/the_achilles_heel_of_obamacare.html
Wow. Read this. I've been waiting to see how applicability of the law folds out and I haven't seen anything yet, but now I'm seeing the opposite.
I've been telling to my fellow canadians: Gov medical care for 30 million people is one thing; gov medical care for 300 millin people is extremely quite another thing as far as applicability is concerned.
I've always thought it'd be impossible to apply it. The country is just too, too, too big for gov medical care.
Thank you kindly for the link.
In FL, Amendment 1 would've banned the gov from requiring that Floridians purchase health ins. and would've prevented FL government from requiring this in the future.
So, it didn't pass. If the feds require that we all jump on the Obama health train...well, I'll likely be non-compliant. It is unconstitutional.
Thanks for posting the link.
I had to sign it for my state. It made me feel just a little better, for a while.
I figure the folks in the black SUVs have my name already after years of griping publicly. Doesn't matter anyway with the giant email scanning and storage system for all of us.

Can Napolitano at least return to the transvestite shop from which Obama plucked her from? I can't deal with all these clowns at the same time. Seriously, this is starting to look like a traveling carnival.
No, she is not allowed to return to Arizona. And that shop closed four years ago when she moved to DC.
