And Now, In The Octagon We Have John Kerry Vs Vlad Putin

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While John Kerry has only been in his role a few months and Russia seemingly happy to hold Edward Snowden for a while longer, it seems he has the hang of international diplomacy...

  • *KERRY SAYS U.S. NOT LOOKING FOR 'CONFRONTATION' ON SNOWDEN CASE
  • *KERRY SAYS RUSSIA SHOULD RESPECT RULE OF LAW ON SNOWDEN

So there we have it, add another 'threat' to the already brewing war-by-proxy in Syria; in one corner we have Vietnam war "veteran" (always ready to act 'swiftly'), in the other a Former KGB superspy who wrestles bears. Guess who wins.

Dudes and duddettes, nothing is as it seems. There are whole other reasons for these constant jet-seting meetings, like who is going to get what cut from which cartel, signatures on private treaties, choosing the next month's targets, getting orders in person from the cabal....shit like that. The pre-pared statementis the eye-wash.

OT, I wonder if John Kerry makes a good neigh-bore.

I wish Putin would respond by saying that Russia would respect our extradition request regarding Snoden the minute we extradite Cheny, Rumsfeld, Bush, et al. under the foreign warrants that have been issued for their respective arrests.

That would be priceless.

Also, John Kerry is a.k.a. John Kohn, Jewish, but claims he forgot

Family took the Irish-sounding name 'Kerry' helpful to political success in Irish-heavy Boston USA

«  ... And what did we recently discover; why Kerry is Jewish on his father's side. Kerry was Kohn. Somehow, he forgot the fact that his grandparents were prominent Jewish business people in Prague and that his father is 100% Jewish. Ask yourself, do you know anyone who doesn't know his father's religious background ... »

It shouldn't be about Snowden, it is now a red herring.  I thank him for his efforts and sacrifice.

I'd like to launch a class action lawsuit against the NSA, FBI and CIA for copyright infringement and theft of private materials.  Reason for this.  I am a programmer and send code back and forth to my clients in .zip format using gmail and Yahoo mail.

I did not know some spook would have it in their posession.

If the justice system will allow criminal behavior without consequence, maybe a huge loss on a lawsuit may shake things up.

Cherry picker, your own statement shows the absurd contradiction of the idea of a 'class action lawsuit', as you write -

« If the justice system will allow criminal behavior without consequence, maybe a huge loss on a lawsuit may shake things up »

Sheesh ... you say the justice system and the bribed US judges are crooked ... but yet you expect honest judges somewhere to not dismiss a class action lawsuit ?

Ha ! ... It is funny, Americans digest nearly every kind of corruption ... but they still think lawsuits and courts in the US are like in Hollywood movies

When US federal courts now have a higher conviction rate than Nazi Germany

Where US judges are shot dead after ruling against the government (Federal Judge John Roll 2011)

When any lawyer filing against corrupt judges gets disbarred, even jailed (Richard Fine in LA, many others)

When nearly all US class action lawsuits without political backing are dismissed

When people get put to death in the US with their Appeals unanswered

When Google Inc has become a partner of bribed judges, erasing court filings and websites on bribed judges from search results

... So the meme never goes away

Americans still think their courts are like Hollywood movies ... they see the Congress, the President, the Regulators all corrupt

But they think wasting money on a lawsuit before judges installed by US oligarch families ... they think it's just like in the movies, ha !

    There is an unspoken line that commonly separates "us" from "them".  Jane Fonda was doing her best to look like a "them".  Jane Fonda will always be known as a sell out and a traitor to her people. 

    Should there have been a war against an idea (communism).  Probably not.  How about a war on any other ideas, like drugs, poverty, or terrorism?  Again, probably not.

    Snowden will be thought of as a Rosenberg.  Hanoi Jane's crime was merely being an enemy sympathizer.

    Yes, I get your point, but the trap is that when 'we' put soldiers in the field everywhere (which we've nearly achieved).  Sean Penn -- I know, I know -- went to Iraq ahead of the '03 invasion not to support Saddam but to humanize the Iraqi populace.  It didn't work, unfortunately.

    A close friend of mine was a war hero over there.  He was in search and destroy and exposed to agent orange.  It took him five years to die from ALS, a disease which has a higher concentration of victims to those who have been exposed to agent orange.

    They gave him military honors at his funeral. What a joke.

    Yes, and now in desert storm ALS is a disease which has a higher concentration of victims to those who have been exposed to depleted uranium. Hundreds of thousands.

    The person that got hired by NSA and given top level clearance?

    The person that is a 20 something, video game playing, self absorbed slacker?

    The person that was a triple agent for USSA, USSR, and PROC?

    The person that intentionally got hired to become a whistleblower?

    The traitor that is divulging secrets that risk the lives of every American?

    The worker that didn't have access to all that much stuff?

    Lemme see here...
    National Security , leaks, running from authorities, mysteries, sedition and traitorous acts (sic)...

    Oh yea, a clear and present need to chip everybody, restrict travel and seriously enforce new and improved draconian curtailments of your freedoms for your own good... like another step in the olde Fabian Process toward Martial Law

    Nah... they wouldn't do that now, would they.
    Further, if such listening and observation capabilities do exist, they are MOST effective when everybody is aware of such...

    all that satellite imagery they have....and not enough people to analyze it. its the same way with all this data. oh yea, its there, but a real time monitoring system that covers everyone at all times, is just ludicrous. not even at the quantum computing level. with the country being de-industrillized with every new trade partnership that is signed, homeland security will soon be the largest private employer in the country, aimed at the sole purpose of maintaining the critical infrastructure required to maintain the war effort.

    the populous is officially a burden and a threat to tptb. they just dont have the manpower to control every city block. they look bigger with 4-5 vehicles and a nice photo op in a larger metropolitan area though.  i really, really hate to think what will happen if we see brazil or turkey style riots here. IF thats even possible anymore, at least without a lopsided court ruling. christ, nobody stood up for wesley snipes...

    It's less active than many large-scale video games. Not nearly as challenging as you propose.

    "homeland security will soon be the largest private employer in the country"

    It's not a private employer. It's government. The non-government agency pretending to be a government agency is the Federal Reserve.

    "they just dont have the manpower to control every city block"

    They do. #1 cut off food #2 cut off water #3 cut off ammunition #4 be ready to deploy tear gas & if needed, nerve gas. EASY as pie.

    oldest trick in the book. the Romans held the games to vent the frustrations of the populous. the same holds true today. look how highly the usa places pro athletes in regards to the rest of society. if people couldnt yell and scream, vent their pent up frustrations on the opposing team, those feelings and emotions would be vetted on the ruling establishment. its a controlled pressure release. the voting booth replaced the gallows. no need for swords anymore, as there is no consequences for acting against the will of the people.

    The US government has become so corrupt it's hard to tell which country is worse anymore.

    Obama backs terrorist rebels to support the US agenda and does drug deal rather than staying out of these affairs.

    RT post news our pro-Obama admin media will not release.

    No wonder so many people in the US no longer trust their own government anymore. This is not the government the founders envisioned. No longer of the people and by the people.
