Shameful McCain Memorial Service Spectacle

Quote from: http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Article/246739-2018-09-03-shameful-mccain-memorial-service-spectacle.htm

Days of eulogizing an unapologetic warmongering extremist culminated with a Saturday memorial service in Washington's National Cathedral, nauseating while it lasted.

Among others, GW Bush and Obama paid tribute to one of Washington's most despicable figures. A special place in hell awaits them.

Two unindicted war criminals honored another, a disgraceful display on national television.

Used as a prop, Washington's National Cathedral desecrated itself as a house of prayer for being part of the shameful spectacle.

Dick Cheney ran things for the GW Bush regime when in power, its eminence grise, calling the shots, both figures two of the nation's worst.

GW was arguably the worst ever US president, outdistancing Warren Harding for the dishonor, an "amiable incompetent," an observer called him.

GW was pure evil throughout his public life and earlier - handed the presidency he lost twice by electoral theft. The NYT ludicrously praised his "gravitas" and "statesmanship…"a leader whom the nation could follow in these difficult times."

Bush's true legacy reflects underachievement, sadism and lawlessness. He had problems with alcohol and illicit drugs.

As Texas governor, he presided over more executions than any other state executive since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.

His close aids said he enjoyed killing, abusing others for his own amusement.

He was born into wealth and power, struggled completing full sentence in public remarks.

Former Texas Governor Ann Richards mocked him saying: "Poor George. He can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."

Eulogizing War Criminal McCain

Stephen Lendman

Eulogizing War Criminal McCain

by Stephen Lendman

America honors its worst. McCain was an unapologetic imperial spear carrier, a thuggish scoundrel supporting all US wars of aggression against nations threatening no one.

He was uncaring about the horrific human cost, dismissive about millions of civilians perishing post-9/11 alone, countless millions more harmed by US-led aggression he cheerled.

At a Thursday memorial service in Phoenix, attended by numerous congressional members and others, he was eulogized by likeminded scoundrels, including former vice president Joe Biden, saying:

"My name is Joe Biden. I'm a Democrat (undemocratic, he failed to explain)," adding "I love John McCain." Make you wanna wince in disgust? You bet!

Further disgraceful remarks followed, Biden saying "I trusted John with my life…Character is destiny. John had character."

Vietnamese civilians he massacred indiscriminately from 30,000 feet would say otherwise if alive.

So would millions slaughtered by all US imperial wars, ones McCain wholeheartedly supported, mindless of highest of high crimes committed. Nazis at Nuremberg were sentenced to death for the same offenses.

Biden reflected about ravaging brain cancer taking McCain's life, calling it "brutal…relentless…unforgiving."

He was silent about US imperial wars, massacring millions, turning cities, towns and villages to rubble, conflicts raging endlessly in multiple theaters, high crimes committed daily, horrors McCain endorsed and relished.

I know what you are doing here, and why I post... legitimizing mr bob mueller... it's useless... and too late and too little. your gangs, and you will end up executed. you have no future. the only question, who will do it, us or the others? but your future has ended long ago.

this board is completely lost... one dude believe that american billionaire kids, like chelsea clinton will rule china, while the others moppets try to defend hillary clinton henchmen... it's gonna be a slaughter... you are too DUMB... maybe it's the consequences of raping children or maybe it's because of those "problems" that they do that... who cares, as long as they become breeding grounds for maggots

I'm not doing anything of that nature -- I don't see how saying that Senator McCain should rest well is me legitimizing Robert Mueller. Nor do I understand the part where I'll end up 'executed' and 'have no future'

Do you just get your news from those extremists that think the American government is run by reptiles? Or is this all thought up in your warped mind?

I'm wildly confused on all the claims you just threw out there....

McCain isn't dead. He is in cryogenic stasis, awaiting the time that his cancer can be cured. This is a guess about cryogenic stasis. But it is doubtful he is dead. Why?

When you watch the video in this post - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.44845189 - way down at the end of the video, Qanon predicts McCain's death to the minute, one month ahead. Now, you tell me what that means? Personally, it tells me that McCain didn't die, and that his death is a staged ruse to gracefully and securely move him into hiding because of the enemy of America that he was being found out to be.

The cryogenic thing might be a plan that McCain is using to wait for a cancer cure.

Child of the State,
Man of War

Quote from: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/karen-kwiatkowski/child-of-the-state-man-of-war/

And now, John Sidney McCain, III is a corpse in a morgue awaiting his state burial. It is as it should be, perhaps for the first time in his entire life.

McCain – the holy terror of teenager and Naval Academy cadet, mad pilot and poster child for the horrors of the towering enemy we faced for our very survival as a Republic in Vietnam, and political animal for much of his life – clearly was not at home in this world.

In a world filled with people who are all pretty much accountable on a daily basis for their decisions, choices, actions, and for the pain they have and are causing, John McCain was missing from his post.

Instead, as a son of a successful Naval commander, he path was not entirely his own, and yet he did, repeatedly, choose that path. His biggest tragedy may have been that he was the namesake of a distinguished military family. Certainly the life of his younger brother Joe Pinckney McCain is a testament to how being born into service of the state doesn't have to result in the deaths of so many for so long.

Where failures and character flaws occur in all families, when they occur in the important chapter of the national narrative called "Military Heroism And Sacrifice In The Name Of National Greatness And Security," something must be done.

And what was done? Props, propaganda and prose all came forth, and we aren't done being propagandized and prosed to death just yet. The funeral is coming.

While much has been written about John McCain, it's the stories we haven't been told that bother most people. How he made it through the Academy one our dime with massive numbers of demerits and low academic performance, how he avoided courts martials and discharge from the Navy after the first two plane crashes and flying through the telephone lines in Spain, all before the interesting roles he played on the deck of the USS Forrestal before, during and after it burned.

The story of being shot down, likely by friendly fire, and his subsequent capture and torture by the "North" Vietnamese (a state construct in its own right) is rarely told in detail, but rather bundled in the official narrative under "courage." His divorce of his first wife and disconnect from his first family – understandable because of what war, separation and the stress of a military society do to human beings – is not discussed. Nor are the personal, political and financial machinations that led to his first Congressional seat, and shortly thereafter, a secure Senate seat for Arizona, a seat he has held since this weekend.

From being a savior of the A-10 Warthog program, refusing to allow it a natural death — ironically the aircraft known for causing the most friendly fire and civilian deaths — to saving Obamacare from the breach, to reliably supporting projects to change governments overseas, all while waging low-level but steady combat against liberty and the Constitution at home, McCain was a busy man, and a well-connected, well-funded politician.

The actions of McCain as Senator are legion, and while no doubt people of various political stripes may find at least one or two things to laud in his progressive neoconservative warmongering and state-strengthening agenda in over three decades, in reality he earned no loyalty. This glowing yet strangely surreal obit by Jeff Goldberg of the leftward progressive and warmongering Atlantic says it all – and has it all wrong.

What the McCain Eulogies Tell Us About the Media and the Regime

Quote from: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/thomas-woods/what-the-mccain-eulogies-tell-us-about-the-media-and-the-regime/

People tell me I should not criticize him right now.

I do think some people are behaving in bad taste. But I do not think I am prohibited from making sober remarks at a moment when so many Americans, and the opinion molders who tell them what to think, are getting ludicrously carried away.

The phenomenon we are witnessing is so Orwellian that I can't resist exploring it. I am less concerned with criticizing McCain — there will be ample time for that — than I am with trying to understand the regime under which we live, and the media lackeys that glorify it.

The tributes to McCain from the major newspapers are so over the top that there's something more going on here than the perfunctory respect the media shows for most deceased politicians.

They will not be speaking this way about Pat Buchanan — a real maverick, who was the first conservative I ever saw who broke with both parties (that's what a maverick does) to point out that the sanctions on Iraq were creating a humanitarian catastrophe that no moral person could support (that's what an actual conservative says).

As if to show that she has every Establishment ritual already down to a science, even democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to say this:

John McCain's legacy represents an unparalleled example of human decency and American service.

As an intern, I learned a lot about the power of humanity in government through his deep friendship with Sen. Kennedy.

He meant so much, to so many. My prayers are with his family.

"But she had to say something!" some say.

She had to say "an unparalleled example of human decency and American service"?

McCain's bellicosity in foreign policy knew no bounds. A discussion of all the interventions he favored — every one of which would have intensified the problems it was allegedly to solve — would take all week.

To a conservative movement that knows nothing of its history, this makes McCain a great conservative statesman.

And to the American Establishment, bellicosity is not and has never been a deal breaker.

McCain's preferred foreign policy has yielded death, displacement, and regional chaos on a massive scale, not to mention a huge shot in the arm to the very Islamic radicalism he assured us he was fighting against.

(McCain's insistence on being involved in every Middle East conflict under the sun made him some hideous bedfellows, I might add, as when he met with members of the Northern Storm Brigade, which had handed American journalist Steven Sotloff over to ISIS for $25,000.)

We are to believe that McCain was a "maverick."

This is because from time to time he joined forces with the Democrats, the left-wing side of the Establishment, in order to support a measure that just happened to win him media applause.

McCain's Legacy is Death

Quote from: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/thomas-luongo/mccains-legacy-is-death/

"Buzzard's gotta eat, same as worms [spit]"
— Outlaw Josey Wales

John McCain is dead. Good.

There are few figures in American politics more odious than John McCain.

McCain was chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee. The main vector of our aggressive and ruinous foreign policy.

He served on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee overseeing everything we see today as needing reform.

And he blocked all of it.

He was, in short, no maverick.

John McCain was the ultimate member of the Status Quo.

He worked hard to block any reform to our foreign policy of subjugation and control. He oversaw and championed the worst legislation of the past generation. Through him the expansion of the surveillance state flourished.

The Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act name only a couple. Through McCain the annual National Defense Authorization Act was a vector for the worst expansion of Deep State and MIC power through last minute riders and in recent years, cynical moves to block or stymie Donald Trump.

And being the vindictive little troll that he was, a pampered Admiral's son who was the puppet of every major power-broker in D.C., he went after political opponents with the ferocity of a wolverine.

But, make no mistake, this man was a weasel and a snitch.

His death, however, is emblematic of the sea-change occurring in global politics. Lying, racist psychopaths with dreams of global domination like McCain are yesterday's news.

The generational shift away from Cold Warriors who have over-stayed their welcome to assist their feckless Baby Boomer children to destroy everything that the U.S. was supposed to stand for cannot be stopped at this point.

But, believe me, they will continue to try.

It's no secret that John McCain hated Russians. He also hated Iranians. It was a hatred so deep it meant embracing as a 'freedom fighter' anyone who stood against them.

Ukrainian Nazis? Check.

Head-chopping Salafist Animals in Syria? Check

Mujahadeen? Check.

Hillary Clinton? Check.

Likely this was because McCain betrayed his country in Vietnam as a captured high-value target to the Russians.

And that shame drove the next 40 years of his political career, along with his being spared the details of his treason going public if he served the goals of the globalist elites intent on destroying America.

So, his vile treatment of Donald Trump came as no surprise. Trump calling him out publicly as weak for being captured and implying the truth about McCain drove McCain to apoplexy.

It's why he passed on the ridiculous Steele dossier to the FBI. It's why he voted against Obamacare reform and tax cuts. It's why he gleefully put forth the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act last year.

John McCain and the POW Cover-Up

Quote from: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/no_author/mccain-and-the-pow-cover-up/

Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg's explosive story.

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain's role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain's military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn't talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.

The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington—and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that "men were left behind." This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number—the documents indicate probably hundreds—of the U.S. prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.

Mass of Evidence

The Pentagon had been withholding significant information from POW families for years. What's more, the Pentagon's POW/MIA operation had been publicly shamed by internal whistleblowers and POW families for holding back documents as part of a policy of "debunking" POW intelligence even when the information was obviously credible.

The pressure from the families and Vietnam veterans finally forced the creation, in late 1991, of a Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. The chairman was John Kerry. McCain, as a former POW, was its most pivotal member. In the end, the committee became part of the debunking machine.

One of the sharpest critics of the Pentagon's performance was an insider, Air Force Lt. Gen. Eugene Tighe, who headed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) during the 1970s. He openly challenged the Pentagon's position that no live prisoners existed, saying that the evidence proved otherwise. McCain was a bitter opponent of Tighe, who was eventually pushed into retirement.

Included in the evidence that McCain and his government allies suppressed or sought to discredit is a transcript of a senior North Vietnamese general's briefing of the Hanoi politburo, discovered in Soviet archives by an American scholar in 1993. The briefing took place only four months before the 1973 peace accords. The general, Tran Van Quang, told the politburo members that Hanoi was holding 1,205 American prisoners but would keep many of them at war's end as leverage to ensure getting war reparations from Washington.
