In a rare and unprecedented speech delivered on the House floor just two days after the nation memorialized 9/11, Democratic Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday slammed Washington's longtime support to anti-Assad jihadists in Syria, while also sounding the alarm over the current build-up of tensions between the US and Russia over the Syria crisis. She called on Congress to condemn what she called the Trump Administration’s protection of al-Qaeda in Idlib and slammed Washington's policies in Syria as "a betrayal of the American people" — especially the victims and families that perished on 9/11. Considering that Congresswoman Gabbard herself is an Iraq war veteran and current Army reserve officer who served in the aftermath of 9/11, it's all the more power and rare that a sitting Congress member would make such forceful comments exposing the hypocrisy and contradictions of US policy. She called out President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence by name on the House floor in her speech: “Two days ago, President Trump and Vice President Pence delivered solemn speeches about the attacks on 9/11, talking about how much they care about the victims of al-Qaeda’s attack on our country. But, they are now standing up to protect the 20,000 to 40,000 al-Qaeda and other jihadist forces in Syria, and threatening Russia, Syria, and Iran, with military force if they dare attack these terrorists." And in perhaps a completely unprecedented moment, the Congresswoman accused America's Commander-in-Chief during her floor speech for acting as "the protective big brother of al-Qaeda and other jihadists". Interestingly she has elsewhere previously leveled the same blistering criticism of the Obama administration during media interviews for its "regime change policies" in Syria. Gabbard continued: “This is a betrayal of the American people, especially the victims of al-Qaeda’s attack on 9/11 and their families, first responders, and my brothers and sisters in uniform who have been killed or wounded in action and their families. For the President, who is Commander in Chief, to act as the protective big brother of al-Qaeda and other jihadists must be condemned by every Member of Congress.” Gabbard has for especially the last couple of years been an outspoken critic of US policies in Syria, and drew controversy in early 2017 when she traveled to Damascus to meet privately with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The move met with an icy reception among fellow Congressional Democrats and raised questions over possible violation of the Logan Act. But interestingly though Thursday's floor speech evoked President Trump and his latest threats to intervene militarily against Assad and Russia should chemical weapons be used in Idib, Gabbard is actually echoing the very stance that Trump took on the campaign trail and prior on Syria, where he also described the Syrian rebel insurgency as being led and filled by terrorists and jihadists in multiple informal statements. Trump 2013 vs Trump 2018 on Syria... Trump and Gabbard had even once met to discuss Syria policy at a private meeting at Trump Tower in November of 2016 just ahead of then president-elect Trump being sworn into office. At the time the two appeared to be in complete agreement over Syria policy, after which Gabbard said of the meeting, "I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government—a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families." The following summer President Trump allegedly shut down the CIA's clandestine efforts for overthrowing the Damascus government, a covert program called 'Timber Sycamore', after reports said he was increasingly disturbed by the brutal and jihadist nature of the armed opposition. All the way up until April 2018, he had appeared to be pushing toward withdrawing the over 2,000 US troops from Syria, against which advisers and neocon hawkish policy wonks vehemently pushed back. Trump had proposed, “Let the other people take care of it now. Very soon, very soon, we’re coming out. We’re going to get back to our country, where we belong, where we want to be.” However just days after that statement video emerged from Idlib purporting to show an Assad sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province, to which Trump responded with a brief Tomahawk missile strike on a largely abandoned Syrian military airport in the center of the country. The pro-regime change interventionists in the administration had perhaps won out, as Trump the following April launched an even bigger attack on Damascus following more unverified opposition claims of another gas attack. And now Congresswoman Gabbard appears to be calling Trump out and back to that original policy path of military withdrawal and non-intervention in Syria. Poster Comment: One of the few congressmen I respect. Of course Obama, Hillary and Kerry started the attack in Syria under orders from Israel.

And what else could we expect from Trump than to follow the marching orders from Israhell. After all, Netanjoohoo said, "We control America and they know it." ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Israel killed President Kennedy and we let them and the Fake News Media get away with it.

And JFK let it be known he wanted to "break the CIA into a million pieces and scatter it to the four winds." If had had kept his mouth shut and just did it he might not have been shot. Oswald was a patsy. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
There were other motives to kill JFK. He opposed the Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons. He wanted to introduce a Treasury Note (non-interest bearing) to replace Federal Reserve Notes, And he opposed the huge military build up in Vietnam. Jewish Bankers wanted us to go into the war and lose so they could get white kids addicted to drugs. Bankers make a lot of money laundering illegal drugs and weapons.

Gabbard is CFR, a closet zionist. She sang a very different tune during the Obama administration, and there is her voting record to prove it. Also, the mafia, the cubans, the oil & gas industry, and LBJ's real fear that he'd be dumped from the ticket. Enough entities wanted Kennedy dead to have had a veritable firing squad on the grassy knoll; all with live rounds. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

They awarded the Captain McGonagle of the U.S.S. Liberty the Medal of Honor in a private ceremony. Usually those things are very public since they want everyone to know about it. How do you like those apples? ;) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil liam_McGonagle William Loren McGonagle (November 19, 1925 – March 3, 1999) was a United States Naval officer who received the Medal of Honor for his actions while in command of the USS Liberty when it was attacked by Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean on June 8, 1967 during the Six-Day War.

There are also various stories about JFK being killed for interfering with Dimona. Did Israel assassinate JFK? - hey, if you can't trust The Daily Pakistani, who can you trust? “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Notably well-educated for a woman of her era, she proved a capable manager and a shrewd investor. After marrying Lyndon B. Johnson in 1934 when he was a political hopeful in Austin, Texas, she used a modest inheritance to bankroll his congressional campaign, and then ran his office while he served in the Navy. She bought a radio station, and, later, a television station which generated revenues that made the Johnsons into millionaires. As First Lady, she broke new ground by interacting directly with Congress, employing her own press secretary, and making a solo electioneering tour. “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.

Lady Bird was a sharp cookie, no doubt; but were she going to have someone offed, it would have been Lyndon, imo.

For the crime of holding up that poor beagle by it's ears? (no dogs were hurt in this post....) :p “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." On the other hand, Reverend/Rabbi/Zionist John Hagee has a voodoo doll of her he sticks pins in. “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." No mention of this on MSM according to duckduck but listed earlier article saying Gabbard had to pay her way to Syria. US taxpayers would have pickecd up the tab had she been on a junket to Israel if consider the $3-billion grant to the squatter state: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) will “personally reimburse the cost” of her controversial visit to Syria in January, according to her office. “Though the trip has met every requirement of the House Ethics Committee, the congresswoman has decided to reimburse [the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services-Ohio] for the trip because it has become a distraction from the important issue at hand,” the statement read. But Gabbard stood by her trip, which has drawn condemnation from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. “Do the American people want their taxpayer dollars to continue to be used in support of militant groups working hand-in-hand with al-Qaeda and [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] in the effort to overthrow the Syrian government?” the statement said. thehill.com/homenews/house/317270-gabbard-to-repay-syria-trip-costs
It was certainly OK when the songbird went over there with cash and arms for the rebels. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.
