US Congresswoman Introduces Bill To Stop "Illegal" War On Assad; Says CIA Ops Must Stop
Last month, US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard went on CNN and laid bare Washington’s Syria strategy.
In a remarkably candid interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gabbard calls Washington’s effort to oust Assad “counterproductive” and “illegal” before taking it a step further and accusing the CIA of arming the very same terrorists who The White House insists are "sworn enemies.”
In short, Gabbard all but tells the American public that the government is lying to them and may end up inadvertently starting “World War III.”
For those who missed it, here’s the clip:
That was before Paris.
Well, in the wake of the attacks, Gabbard has apparently had just about enough of Washington vacillating in the fight against terror just so the US can ensure that ISIS continues to destabilize Assad and now, with bi-partisan support, the brazen Hawaii Democrat has introduced legislation to end the "illegal war" to overthrow Assad.
Gabbard, who fought in Iraq - twice - has partnered with Republican Adam Scott on the bill. Here's AP:
In an unusual alliance, a House Democrat and Republican have teamed up to urge the Obama administration to stop trying to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad and focus all its efforts on destroying Islamic State militants.
Reps. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, and Austin Scott, a Republican, introduced legislation on Friday to end what they called an "illegal war" to overthrow Assad, the leader of Syria accused of killing tens of thousands of Syrian citizens in a more than four-year-old civil war entangled in a battle against IS extremists, also known as ISIS.
"The U.S. is waging two wars in Syria," Gabbard said. "The first is the war against ISIS and other Islamic extremists, which Congress authorized after the terrorist attack on 9/11. The second war is the illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad."
Scott said, "Working to remove Assad at this stage is counter-productive to what I believe our primary mission should be."
Since 2013, the CIA has trained an estimated 10,000 fighters, although the number still fighting with so-called moderate forces is unclear. CIA-backed rebels in Syria, who had begun to put serious pressure on Assad's forces, are now under Russian bombardment with little prospect of rescue by their American patrons, U.S. officials say.
For years, the CIA effort had foundered — so much so that over the summer, some in Congress proposed cutting its budget. Some CIA-supported rebels had been captured; others had defected to extremist groups.
Gabbard complained that Congress has never authorized the CIA effort, though covert programs do not require congressional approval, and the program has been briefed to the intelligence committees as required by law, according to congressional aides who are not authorized to be quoted discussing the matter.
Gabbard contends the effort to overthrow Assad is counter-productive because it is helping IS topple the Syrian leader and take control of all of Syria. If IS were able to seize the Syrian military's weaponry, infrastructure and hardware, the group would become even more dangerous than it is now and exacerbate the refugee crisis.
And make no mistake, Tulsi's understanding of Washington's absurd Mid-East policy goes far beyond Syria. That is, Gabbard fully grasps the big picture as well. Here's what she has to say about the idea that the US should everywhere and always attempt to overthrow regimes when human rights groups claim there's evidence of oppression:
"People said the very same thing about Saddam (Hussein), the very same thing about (Moammar) Gadhafi, the results of those two failed efforts of regime change and the following nation-building have been absolute, not only have they been failures, but they've actually worked to strengthen our enemy."
Somebody get Langley on the phone, this woman must be stopped.
Here's Gabbard speaking to CNN this week about Assad:
So there's hope for the US public after all.
Perhaps if the clueless masses won't listen to "lunatic" fringe blogs or Sergei Lavrov, they'll listen to a US Congresswoman who served two tours of duty in Iraq and who is now telling Americans that The White House, The Pentagon, and most especially the CIA are together engaged in an "illegal" effort to overthrow the government of a sovereign country and in the process are arming the very same extremists that are attacking civilians in places like Paris.
Good luck Tulsi, and thanks for proving that there's at least one person inside that Beltway that isn't either dishonest or naive.

From Gabbard
“Here are 10 reasons the U.S. must end its war to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad:
- Because if we succeed in overthrowing the Syrian government of Assad, it will open the door for ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other Islamic extremists to take over all of Syria. There will be genocide and suffering on a scale beyond our imagination. These Islamic extremists will take over all the weaponry, infrastructure, and military hardware of the Syrian army and be more dangerous than ever before.
- We should not be allying ourselves with these Islamic extremists by helping them achieve their goal because it is against the security interests of the United States and all of civilization.
- Because the money and weapons the CIA is providing to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad are going directly or indirectly into the hands of the Islamic extremist groups, including al-Qaeda affiliates, al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham, and others who are the actual enemies of the United States. These groups make up close to 90 percent of the so-called opposition forces, and are the most dominant fighters on the ground.
- Because our efforts to overthrow Assad has increased and will continue to increase the strength of ISIS and other Islamic extremists, thus making them a bigger regional and global threat.
- Because this war has exacerbated the chaos and carnage in Syria and, along with the terror inflicted by ISIS and other Islamic extremist groups fighting to take over Syria, continues to increase the number of Syrians forced to flee their country.
- Because we should learn from our past mistakes in Iraq and Libya that U.S. wars to overthrow secular dictators (Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi) cause even more chaos and human suffering and open the door for Islamic extremists to take over in those countries.
- Because the U.S. has no credible government or government leader ready to bring order, security, and freedom to the people of Syria.
- Because even the ‘best case’ scenario—that the U.S. successfully overthrows the Syrian government of Assad—would obligate the United States to spend trillions of dollars and the lives of American service members in the futile effort to create a new Syria. This is what we have been trying to do in Iraq for twelve years, and we still have not succeeded. The situation in Syria will be much more difficult than in Iraq.
- Because our war against the Syrian government of Assad is interfering with our being one-pointedly focused on the war to defeat ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the other Islamic extremists who are our actual enemy.
- Because our war to overthrow the Assad government puts us in direct conflict with Russia and increases the likelihood of war between the United States and Russia and the possibility of another world war.”

wow
a Democrat who is not lying..how unusual...but there it is....
Note her military service and oath: defend against enemies at home and abroad.
The USA has the longest wars in its lifetime while CONgress has fewer military personnel in its history.
It is easy to kill when you don't know what dying in a foreign field is like; when you don't pay for it; when you are immune from it.
The British goverment sacks soldiers by email, and wants the current corrupt EUSSR to replace them. Here follows a very famous poem by Rudyard Kipling who started off supporting war, and then saw the ruin of it when his own son died and .gov of the time care nothing about any honest soldier, and nor did the snivelling public:
"I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer, The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die, I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I: O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away"; But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play, The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play, O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be, They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me; They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls, But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide, The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide, O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.
Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap; An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?" But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll, The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll, O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too, But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you; An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints, Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind", But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind, There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind, O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational. Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!"
'Mr Atkins' is the politicians backed by the war profiteers who promote them. Our Tommy sees, clear and plain.
"The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace."
This is why I read Veterans Today. Vets know what's going on. They don't buy the lies from govt and media, and know they're all a crock o sh**
Wow, I try to keep probabilities in order - you know, to know "what to expect". This was not something that I had remotely thought was a possibility. I have had no traction to actually call my congressbastard and give my fucking worthless opinion regarding something he should support until now. I am going to call the bastard and request that he put his support behind this. I hate calling the bastard's office because they are really condecending and I always come away very angry.
In any case thank you Congresswoman Gabbard.
I'll give her credit for saying the right things, but why now? Dr. Ron Paul has been saying the same things for how long? And what does the good Senator from HA know about economics? Is she for or against the FED? So we are all now supposed to sit up and listen because she is a woman? And, the CMB is not the same as the CIB. I would like to know the conditions she was awarded the CMB, in the same breath I would like to know the conditions for every single Bronze Star awarded since the Korean Conflict. Yes, there have been way too many bogus awards since the Tet Offensive ..
Oh yeah, did she or did she not take the AIPAC money? The only active member of Congress to date that has not been smitten by Adelson & Co. is Walter Jones from N.C. I do smell a "blown cover, as cover."
Sorry, I'm not fully smitten by Ms. Gabbard ..
"...but why now? Dr. Ron Paul has been saying the same things for how long?"
I think she was doing a tour in Iraq at the time.
Tulsa for president
You mean you'd rather Tulsi than that lying, warmongering, bankster-loving, big-money-backed woman who is running. (I won't name names ;')
Who down voted Tulsa for president? lol
Guilty as charged.
Standard Disclaimer: There is more to a politician than how they stand on a single issue. Some issues resonate strongly with people. You need to look at the entire package.

I would take bets the rotten, govt-run US media will studiously ignore her, but I doubt anyone who reads zerohedge would be stupid enough to take the other end ;')
Breaking News:
It was sad to hear the news today, December 22, 2015, when a computer software error caused Congresswoman Gabbard's doors to lock, the brakes to fail, and the car to accelerate to 123 miles per hour before her fatal crash.
The car manufacturer's spokeman, Michael Hastings, said "Unfortunately. the computer memory was completely destroyed by the gasoline explosion, so it will not be possible to determine the cause of the error."
She is not going to acquiesce, and coming out in public, quoted online, is her best protection, along with her brothers and sisters in arms. It would be suicidal for the dark side to put out her light.
Better to choose the manner of one's life or death instead of bow down to the AshkeNAZI zionist filth, the genocidal maniacs in hock to the Rothschild City of London which treats them like willing debt slaves, eg Nuttyahoo and his ilk including most of CONgress.
They killed our JFK, but his spirit lives on.

'An announced need for increased security' is dangerous, anti-American.
'We are opposed by a conspiracy...infiltration instead of invasion...on intimidation...a system which conscripts...preparations concealed...dissenters silenced...no President should fear public scrutiny...inform and alert the American people...'.
"So man can be what he was born to be: free and independent."
"The lst Amendment,, the only business protected is the Press...greater coverage and analysis of international news."
"So man can be what he was meant to be: free and independent."
It is now the duty of the internet to be the Press, the 'recorder of man's deeds', as most of the world's main scream media is now owned by 6 corporations with overlapping shareholders and interests, all for their New World Order as it was described by Rockefeller, Rothschild in the Trilateral Commission statements.
Clintons, Bush, Obama, Cameron, Mandelson, EUSSR...these are salesmen for the new feudalists, nothing more.
More collective balls than the group of men in power
Wow. I am a conservative Republican, but she is fantastic. If she is also pro-life, I would follow her thru the fires of hell. She is a Democrat version of Sarah Palin. Very impressed. So refreshing.
Don't waste your time donning your flame-retardant undies...
A politician that hasn't been bought? It's gotta be a dream.
She's an Aryan, a devotee of Sri Krishna.
US and UK made the middle east into a cesspool.
hahhhahahahhahahaarg, NOPE, they have been doing it to themselves for thousands of years, then they fucked with us, get an education
Who is this 'us' you speak of? Don't be shy, HasbaRat, Israhell, mithering the West with your threats and demands for more money. Your ISIS...Israeli Secret Intelligence Service, hijacking the West by your operatives bribing and blackmailing cowardly politicians.
Release Mordechai Vanunu, kidnapped in Paris by Mossad after he revealed Israhell's secret, illegal nuclear weapons. Admit that Al-Baghdadi, so called leader of ISIS, was trained by Mossad. You serve a foreign country, and use the USA as your shield,, sword and Treasury.
It is over. Get used to it.
oh, you mean you cant figure that out? i thought you were smarter than that? i guess no, so disappointed in you scumbag...now get back to your prayer rug mudslime
Who is this 'us' you speak of?
He's talking about America's largest welfare state - Israel. Without Joe sixpack's tax dollars, the shithole Israel would not exist. Their main contributions to humanity are theft, murder, blackmail, usury and deception.
“There is a great danger for the United States of America, this great danger is the Jew. Gentlemen, in every land which the Jews have settled, they have depressed the normal level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty.
They have remained apart and unassimilated – they have created a state within a state, and when they are opposed they attempt to strangle the nation financially as in the case of Portugal and Spain.
For more than 1700 years, they have lamented their sorrowful fate – namely, that they were driven out of their motherland, but gentlemen, if the civilized world today should give them back Palestine and their property, they would immediately find pressing reasons for not returning there. Why? Because they are vampires – they cannot live among themselves; they must live among Christians and others who do not belong to their race.
If they are not excluded from the United States by the Constitution, within less than 100 years, they will stream into this country in such numbers they will rule and destroy us and change our form of Government for which we Americans shed our blood and sacrificed life, property and personal freedom.
If the Jews are not excluded, within 200 years our children will be working in the fields to feed the Jews while they remain in the Counting House gleefully rubbing their hands.
I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews forever, your children’s children will curse you in your graves.
Their ideas are not those of Americans even when they have lived among us for ten generations. The leopard cannot change its spots. The Jews are a danger to this land and if they are allowed to enter they will imperil our institutions – they should be excluded by the Constitution.”spoken like a true racist andti semite ozzie...you even put forth LIES to further your agenda...good for you peckerwood
there are bad people of every race, but you just keep on generalizing k
For some, this is Fight Club; all for shits and giggles. But war is killing, not a plaything. When you pay for it with your own blood and treasure, then you would want to win instead of keep fighting. You would reject the Wolfowitz Doctrine, the Project for a New American Century which uses the USA as a bully boy for zionists, and international financiers.
Stirring up the Northern people, Viking and Christian, invites death. See Putin's response for a modern reference.
You do not drive out Christians from the Middle East, make them extinct, without a fight to the death. That is what this war of worlds made by the AshkeNAZI and their gangster banksters is all about. Do you want a kingdom ruled by new feudalists, the Pharisee or not?
Christians and Vikings: you will miss us if we lose, and you are left to your materialist wars for money and control. We are your only hope to live in a multi-polar world with mutual respect. I say 'if'. We never lost before, and won't now. Orthodox jews are with us. Persians are with us. Ordinary muslims are with us. People of other faiths are with us. Are you?
Some secularists or socialist/communist split along which ever side offers them protection or fashionable approval.
Trade, yes.
Dominance, no.
YOU are a pussy! When the sand lizards come chop your head off, your kin will be singing a different tune, dumbass
Spoken like a snivelling fascist racist shit pit zionist who needs my country more than we need yours. Take your begging bowl back to the City of London where the Rothschilds will tell you again that you are to do as you are told because they paid for you.
Stop foisting your threats and demands on the USA.
LOL too funny, considering i am more American than you will ever be....how's that blackliesmatter going for you nigga? racist? ya i am getting there, thanks to idiots like you
No. You are a cowardly zionist. Unless your family came here in 1620, your other claim is also false. Tisquantum saved my family while yours were probably spewing hate and division somewhere else.
Hey V, why argue with a fu*kin' monkey? Keep speaking the truth to these hasbara trolls.

hey dumbass, it is not a fucking game we are playing...you are so clueless, it hurts to know people like you exist. now go play with your barbie and ken dolls and leave the world affair to the adults in the room.

She says "Aloha" at some point in every MSM interview. ( I am surprised they let her do it) Fitting for a Hawaiian native who has to spend most of her time flying back and forth to D.C. to vote on "expenditures."
9/11 was a new pearl harbor. Cheney has a 501c3 protecting him from war crimes, talking about the next war we should fight, and the wheels still go round and round.
Richard Bruce Cheney. He's called Dick for an obvious reason; pet of zionists and war profiteer.
Another nail gun victim in the making.

Keep eating S H I T mushrooms!
Quit your whining. The media will keep covering for Hitlery.
If this lady is for real, the mass murderers who call themselves government will somehow knock her off, or at least marginalize her with lies before she can endanger them.
Odds are more likely that she's just a tool of of the evil fascists who call themselves government, to buy some time by restoring some hope that there is a government solution or a solution for government. Don't be fooled into hoping there is either, beyond the one solution for government, which is its inevitable to collapse into a morally and financially bankrupt heap. When the monsters who call themselves central government, at all levels and everywhere, finally self destruct and take down the societies they predate upon, then remember this. The massive societal pain will be caused by the parasites who called themselves government who have consumed the productive capital and destroyed the money by converting it to worthless fiat. Without the ability to produce enough to support the population or a medium of exchange people will still accept to allow efficient commerce, those in the host society who survive the economic collapse will be reduced to barter and lives of unimaginable hardship.
This is the most important thing to keep in mind when the time to rebuild comes:
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness... To SECURE these rights (not grant or limit them in any way), governments are instituted AMONG men (not over them). The instant that a government goes any further than to "secure these rights", it immediately violates them. It becomes an evil parasite, which, as history has always shown, will then want to grow until it consumes its host society. Government at the most local level, if even that, is all that's needed to "secure these rights" and is all that can exist without ultimately violating "these rights".
"Odds are more likely that she's just a tool of of the evil fascists who call themselves government"
Good for you... you're so enamored with your own words that you find no issue in knocking down the simple truths this woman has the courage to speak.
She is popular in Hawaii and up for reelection. She is a politician and did you note the 9/11 comment; typical shill.
She apparently still believes the lie about who the terrorists were on 9/11. A novice mistake that I once made. Hope someone is able to share some info with her from http://www.ae911truth.org . Even though I will not become hopeful about her saving the monstrosity that is called US government, she may still join those of us in the battle of ideas. We might then have enough informed about the parasites upon society that call themselves central governments, so that they can be prevented from continuing after they collapse themselves and their hosts.
Give her a break. If she attacks two massive lies at once, she will definitely dissapear.
One lie at a time is not going to get the job done in the time we have left before this civilization collapses. It's much more efficient to go after the ultimate root cause of the lies and all they are trying to cover up, which is the existance of central governments. They always become evil and are unnecessary parasites upon their host societies. I don't expect her to address the real problem. We need the truth about all the parasites who call themselves central government to go viral while it still can.
Covered her possible virtue in the leading paragraph. She may even be another Ron Paul, but it won't somehow cause the beast that is US government to be somehow redeemed. Based on political history, she is still vastly more likely be just another politician that is an evil parasites upon their host society. Don't allow yourself to become too hopeful when you hear someone saying what they know you want to hear. There are no government solutions, or solution for government, other than its complete collapse, so that it will go away and let society thrive, free of the massive parasite.

Standard Disclaimer: Article III, Section 3, Clause 1
Is she trying to get suicided?
Good on her though.
No; she is a politician likely up for re-election..note she proclaimed that terrorists attacked the US on 9/11; everyone knows that is a damnable lie in her context. Except the kool-aid drinkers who watch the Cartoon Naraative Network (AKA: CNN)
"Everyone" DOESN'T know that at all.
Whether they SHOULD know it is another argument, but the fact is, there are many patriotic, honest Americans who "closed the book" on that part of the narrative in the immediate aftermath of the event. It happened - they were told who did it - they logged it in - they went on from there.
She (and they) haven't been wallowing in anger and frustration, re-hashing the event over and over, watching video after video on the subject, reading articles and arguing in comment sections.
She (and they) went to fight, and fight again, came home and went to congress (or other careers), married, and lived their lives.
Many of us HERE, however, have remained in a state of arrested development to one degree or another, tilting at windmills and lamenting how things should be, while folks like Gabbard have operated based on how things are.
Could just be running interference or "getting out in front of it" or whatever they's calling it these days.
The American Physcological Association has classified failure to believe the manifest truth as published by government and the MSM, as a disease.
One more step and you could be sectioned for this. .Here come the Gulags.
“When I look at the present state of things in the world I realize that Vladimir Putin is the sole defender of Christian civilization one can rely on," said President Assad of Syria which is the land of the Bible's Israel, and a secularist; someone who believes in protecting people of every faith in his land from criminal thugs, and Judah, the zionists next door.
It's sad that the parasitic criminal class who call themselves US government have become so incredibly evil that even Putin looks nice in comparison.
Ah, the tide is changing...
Only thing left to do is hang on to the Principles, and accept a new equilibrium in the process, painful as it will be... but not nearly as painful as what Neglect will bring.
Stay strong and stay safe, Tulsi Gabbard.
What about Ukraine Tulsi?
Excellent Question! Let's see. And what I found out MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE.
http://gabbard.house.gov/index.php/press-releases/240-rep-tulsi-gabbard-...
Washington, DC – Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) today released the following statement after the President’s announcement of expanded sanctions against Russian officials:
“Russia has violated the sovereignty and independence of the Ukrainian people, in direct contravention of its own treaty obligations and international law,” said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, an Army combat veteran and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I support the sanctions announced today, and I strongly urge the President to go further and consider a broader range of consequences. If Russia is allowed to continue its aggressive push for control in Ukraine, there will be long-term, serious, and costly security risks for the United States and Europe. Russia must face serious consequences for their actions; the U.S. must consider options that truly isolate Russia economically and diplomatically—not just sanction a handful of oligarchs—and send a message of unity and strength from the international community.
“We cannot stand by while Russia unilaterally degrades Ukraine’s territorial integrity. We must offer direct military assistance—defensive weapons, military supplies and training—to ensure Ukraine has adequate resources to respond to Russia’s aggressions and defend themselves.
Standard Disclaimer: Given these two very opposing viewpoints, anyone's "hero" worship of this woman needs to stop immediately. In other words, like a lot of American women, they can't seem to make up their mind.
Illegal and Counterproductive - You are 100% correct. We should be taking this as an opportunity to bridge differences with other nations to fight a common enemy just like we did in WWII. Perhaps also look in the mirror and hold people behind this current idiotic foreign policy accountable, they are who got us in this mess, caused hundreds of thousands of dealths and millions displaced. I feel betrayed by all those in our government who don't support her point of view on this.
The Powers That Be cannot tolerate a truth speaker with a loud voice and a means to get the message out. She will be targeted for removal. I hope they don't succeed.
I reckon you'll have Nibiru knocking at your front door before the CIA obeys US Law let alone International Laws.
Don’t be playing marbles while they play missiles.
She’s the rogue to make us feel government is ‘fixed’ and back on our side.
I think you are partially correct.
I also think she is the real deal.
She - like many good people before her - will be allowed to continue and serve as a "pressure release valve" as long as her influence remains within certain parameters. If she begins to build too much momentum, she will be dealt with somehow.
Tulsi's the real deal. We were neighbors a long time, and she's down to earth and spunky as hell.
She's made some huge enemies in DC; Wasserman-Schultz being one of them. Not friends with the Clinton machine, to say the least. She's got some lasers aimed her way, but she's tough and tenacious and won't buckle. I hope they don't burn her out, dammit. She's thought of, by losers, as an uppity little freshman, but she's made many of us from Hawaii proud so far.
She's brave and only needs other brave souls to agree with her. Virtue is its own reward, and energy.
It takes a Hindu woman, Tusli to tell the Jew led Christian retards in the US to stop the illegal war on Muslims.
Just one moment. A Hindu woman you claim, outside India which has a rampant problem with gang rape of women and children, even on buses and other public places. So don't get so high and mighty with your version of reality.
She is an American first. Be grateful for that.
Tulsi means "Indian holy Basil" in Sanskrit/Hindi.
This article is bullshit. The target is to create maximum chaos in the Middle East, so that ISIS can take over Syria. Why? Because then Saudi Arabia can fullfill their dream of owning all of the Middle East. The USA has been the mercinary army for Saudi Arabia since the 1950's and the only ones opposing that army have been Russia and Iran. The USA has ALWAYS been supporting the bad guys,
Gabbard is brave, opposing the powers that be, but she will be side-lined.
Now go back to shopping, because that's what Americans are supposed to do. Good boy.
Would it change your vitriole if I told you that the House of Saud was a creation of the Rothschild led City of London Mi6, and its zionism to which even the mannequin queen bows before entering the Square Mile?
No. Thought not. You like fairy tales, apparently.
The head chopping, hand cutting fascism of the House of Saud perfectly suits the monarchies including the British monarchy in hock to international financiers who want a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, a new feudalism.
You have been had, bamboozled, cheated, and lie down for your money master. Fool.
Now this, just because it pleases me, and the Constitution:

Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield. Enter the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind. Hush now child. No fear.
Do not obey. With just a little faith, you can surely do it. Move on up. This is Northern soul.
PS
There are those within the House of Saud who want change for the better too. Give peace a chance. Let Christians save Syria.
Orthodox Christians and Orthodox Jews, and ordinary Muslims, not the monarchies.

Israel seems awfully quiet-and peaceful...it has been proven that Israel stands to gain much from all this chaos-which they want. Then the US will swoop in and all of the ME becomes "Greater Israel"
And of course their funding of ISIS.
More power to Tulsi Gabbard. The number of congress members that can appreciate the truth is slowly growing.
Incompetent Omama has continually stepped on his foreskin, and stuck his fingers into so many 220 volt sockets playing his Alinsky globalist community organizer games, that no one even in the Dem party wants to claim him. Now Putin sits at the al-Assad table with his jets and everyone in DC is suddenly pointing fingers and ducking for cover.
To the Idiocracy voted-in DC perverts: Can we have our country back now, or do we have to do it the hard way?
I like your last few words. Yes. We can do this the hard way or the nice way.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
It will be done, one way or the other.
She doesn't mince words. Clarity and lacking obfuscating double speak. Shame that she will go the way of Cynthia McKinney.
No. She won't. Cynthia McKinney is still remembered, and so will this woman carry on speaking truth to power. The only problem is if people want lies. The good deed is done. Others make their own way if they fail to heed it.
No one can kill an idea which is why ideas live in the minds and hearts of good people, timeless, universal; sometimes down, but never defeated.
"The only problem is if people want lies."
Therein lies the heartbteaking, frustrating reality.
The thing that surprises me the most is that ZH is still a live website. This website should win a nobel price if I had any respect for that price :}.
A Pulitzer prize is more appropo!
Here is what it is. The song of life and the Constitution. For you, Tulsi:

"There's hope for all loved the most. No room for the hopeless sinner who would hurt mankind just to save his own.Pity on those whose chances go thinner.People get ready. Get on board."
Faith...
Brave people need inspiration ;-) From Tisquantum's grateful people on the east coast to Tulsi on the west coast.
The establishment did all they could to keep her out of the first Democrat Presidental debate at the last minute they said ok you can come and she decided not to go. I really wish now she would have gone.
She is no one's slave. With just a little faith, she will surely do it. Hush now child. Have no fear. An invite from a slave master should be declined.
Of course no one is talking about the pipeline war through Syria between Iran and Qatar to serve the EU market.
Assad's proposed Iranian pipeline is a threat to the Petrodollar skimming racket and all this has nothing to do with terrorism and
everything to do with the Kazarian Organized Crime Petrodollar Skim - DOD Saudi Protection - Extortion Racket.

Ok I confess, I love Tulsi.
To her 10 points, I can only say: "The purpose of a System is what it does!"
Just one question,
Why isn't she on the bill to become president when it is so patently obvious to me that she would cut that fucking evil hag clitcunt's throat and leave her bleeding in the gutter and remove that other fucking dementia raddled old socialist marxist cretin too.
Goddam it, I'm as far removed from socialism as you can get being about 1,000 miles to the right of Attila and would butcher along with the best any who dared invade my land, but foreign places are for trading with NOT fucking destroying, but even I would be temped to vote for her and she might even trump Trump.
The Democratic Party wouldn't allow here to participate in the debates.
I heard Tulsi say so on one of the news programs.
I think the person directly responsible for excluding her was Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
A Woman who thinks like some of us here do and has the balls to do it. What the hell are these men with balls have been doing all this time in D.C. I as a man salute to her bravery in the land of the free for standing up to the most dangerous mafia there is ever. Seriously and she is named Tulsi. What a beautiful name for an equally matured brave grown woman. I love her. If you need an army I am here. I can be your disciple one of the many if you ever feel the need. Way to go Tulsi. Jai ho.
Now that she has the spotlight, I wish she had the "balls" to ask "Why did WTC7 fall down?"
It is slightly more healthy to have a hard on for this gal.
Seriously worried about yee guys for a while.....
It was divided between that man crush for Putin crowd and the hard on for Paul sect.
She is however boringly conventional Glass Stegall type of broad.....I am afraid we are long past that stage of finance capitalism.
The problem with being from Hawaii is that the Pacific Ocean is really deep when you fly over it. And you have to fly over it. Good luck Tulsi!
Sorry Tulsi: Too Little Too Late!
The National Security State, which usurped the Constitution of 1789 (itself an obsolete relic which is no match for today's technology) 50 yrs ago, will continue to operate in the shadows and the dark, with impunity.
Will the denizens of ZH ever get up off their lazy, egotistical, fat arses and actually do something about what is? No. They think The Ownership is going to once again let them in on the spoils. Ain't gonna happen. A bunch of Armchair Generals who are, in fact, just a bunch of pussies.
And complete dismantling of the CIA (and every last remanent of the NSS) is only one aspect of the cleaning of the Augean Stables which needs doing.
Don't wait for some US Hercules to show up and do the job for you. Heros are obsolete. Grow a pair and join with us to do the job!
But the question is, at what point in US History did [we] override the Constitution which charges the people to prevent an abusive government? I've been curious where the turning point was? As every ZH reader can realize it's too late. As great as the Constituion was, it was too ideal as if it would be followed to a T for the next 239* years
*edit: Consitution was ratified in 1788, which makes that 227 years
As to which Tulsi is just a pawn in the game, I think she is treading carefully through a minefield, gaining trust slowly from the masses. I can't imagine how fast she will be shot down from the start whistleblowing everything.
If she went for the 9-11 was an inside job- that is such a brash move that will attract so much debate from people defending her and outright crazy people with tinfoil hats that the rest of America will see all that and not want anything to do with it. Honestly most American's want fast food facts- we see this potential conspiracy debate and think it too much digging to find the truth so we disregard anything that relates to it. How a legit movement can be hijinxed and become spoiled.
In the end this is the non lethal way to dispose of her- the major media will dig her a hole and paint her as crazy along with her followers. Her fighting the mud throwing digs it further.
If she were to be given a serious foothold and a potential threat then lethal means of disposing her would be used.
Sorry for the triple reply, Unaware why my browser (Chrome) on one submit, equals three
I think she wants to have hot monkey sex with me!!!!!
Does she realize that she speaks and endorses common logic concepts like a Conservative? Barry will unleash his minions to quell her ideas.
Yes, and she's doing it in Hawaii of all places. Perhaps, that's the key to winning seats in the house. Hot, smart, young women that campaign as Democrats but have conservative values.
A hot Democrat congresswoman that knows something about the middle east too? April fools in November? I..I...I..I'm speechless!
illegal war, what an intresting concept.
I hate to burst the bubble.
Tulsi on Ukraine...
