Tucker roasts geriatric windbag John Kerry

Chris DonaldsonTucker Carlson took a flamethrower to climate czar John Kerry after the geriatric windbag’s unhinged remarks at the United Nations COP28 climate change summit in Dubai over the weekend.

A self-proclaimed “militant” when it comes to the elimination of fossil fuels, the former longtime U.S. senator and secretary of state demanded the elimination of coal plants “anywhere in the world,” a crazed idea that would usher in a new dark age, one that the filthy rich elitist won’t be around to see.

At Davos, the Rev. John Kerry Signals His Place Among the Elect

At Davos, the Rev. John Kerry Signals His Place Among the ElectJack Cashill – In my 2015 book, Scarlet Letters, I spoke of the emergence of a Neo-Puritan movement in America. But not until Biden “climate envoy” John Kerry began pontificating at Davos did any prominent member of the Neo-Puritan elect speak specifically to the cult’s existence.

“When you start to think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we — select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” said Kerry. Continue reading

Deconstructing John Kerry’s Big Lies on CNN

russiaStephen Lendman – Launched in 1980 by Ted Turner as a cable news network, CNN transformed itself into an imperial mouthpiece when America goes to war.

During the current US presidential campaign, endless one-sided pro-Hillary/anti-Trump coverage dominates its programming, deplorable stuff featured not fit to air. It’s hard imagining why anyone wastes time watching. Other cable news channels are no better, air-time filled with worthless trash.

On Monday, CNN interviewed John Kerry, giving him a platform to misinform, deceive and lie like he always does, largely on Syria – Obama’s war CNN never explains, nor do other media scoundrels.

Kerry took full advantage, CNN never challenging his turning truth on its head – ignoring US war crimes, its support for ISIS and other terrorist groups, blaming Assad for America partnering with other rogue states, raping Syria for over five years, massacring its people, undermining Russia’s forthright efforts for ceasefire and conflict resolution.

Jonathan Turley ~ Edward Snowden: Whistleblower Or Traitor?

What is clear is that Snowden pulled back the curtain on new reality of living within a fishbowl of constant surveillance. People clearly don’t like it, even if they don’t like Snowden.” ~J. Turley

jonathanTurleyBelow is my column that ran this week in Al Jazerra on the one-year anniversary of the Snowden scandal. It is hard to believe that it has only been one year given the number of investigations, promised reforms, and articles. I previously wrote a piece explaining why a pardon or commutation would not be inconsistent with prior cases, but that still seems unlikely. While I disagree with Snowden’s release of classified information that could harm the country, I do believe that his case is more nuanced than his critics has suggested. What is fascinating is that, after a year, we appear no closer to a consensus on what Snowden represents

It is hard to imagine that just one year ago, Edward Snowden famously walked away. He was a low-level employee of Dell contractor at a nondescript National Security Agency site. A non-entity by design. Just one of hundreds of thousands of people working in the burgeoning national security complex in the United States – the ultimate faceless cog. Now, one year later, he is a household name but the world remains divided on who Edward Snowden is. Is he a whistleblower or a traitor? It turns out that question is often answered not by how people view Snowden but how they view their government.

Snowden the whistleblower

"The public needs to know the kinds of things a government does in its name, or the ‘consent of the governed’ is meaningless. . . The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed." - Edward Snowden
“The public needs to know the kinds of things a government does in its name, or the ‘consent of the governed’ is meaningless. . . The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed.” – Edward Snowden

For many around the world, and a growing number of Americans, Snowden is a hero and whistleblower who put his own freedom at stake to reveal shocking abuses by the US intelligence agencies. Much of what Snowden has done certainly looks like a whistleblower. First, he does not appear to have sought money for his disclosures. Indeed, he appears to have thought more about what he was taking than where he was taking it.

Secondly, and most importantly, is the breathtaking disclosures that he made. Consider a few of the more important disclosures: Continue reading
