Vote Blue No Matter Who - My Dying Ass

Dear #VoteBlueNoMAtterWho "Democrats", your strategy for the 2020 election, to make it all about “beating Trump”, is not only a lie, but a strategy guarantied to give the country, and the world for that matter, another 4 more years of a completely out of control maniac in the White house, who you #VoteBlueNoMatterWho "Democrats" helped put there in the first place. Crazy

Here's a image of the "DNC / Hillary Campaign Strategy memo"

Preface: This Rant, is intended for the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho audience, not C99 in particular, well, maybe for a wink and grin, dark snark humor. Crazy

Let me lay some "woke" knowledge on you right quick...

You are not, AND CAN NOT BE, the “resistance”, if you give a tyrant, everything they want. Am I getting through?

Since Trump was elected, you #VoteBlueNoMatterWho “Democrats”, have given Trump just about everything he has asked for. From CommonDreams:

More than 180 House Democrats joined a nearly united Republican caucus Wednesday night to pass a sweeping $738 billion military spending bill that gives President Donald Trump his long-sought "Space Force," free rein to wage endless wars, and a green light to continue fueling the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen.

(bold emphasis mine)

Gee, what resistance? The #VoteBlueNoMatterWho Democrats slipped an amendment into the bill that extended the fucking unconstitutional Patriot Act. From the NewRepublic.com:

Democratic leaders had slipped something else into the bill: a three-month extension of the Patriot Act, the post-9/11 law that gave the federal government sweeping surveillance and search powers and circumvented traditional law-enforcement rules. Key provisions of the Patriot Act were set to expire on December 15, including Section 215, the legal underpinning of the call detail records program exposed in the very first Edward Snowden leak.

“It’s surreal,” Representative Justin Amash told me on Tuesday, just before the vote. Amash, an independent who left the Republican Party over his opposition to President Trump, pointed to the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. Republicans have “decried FISA abuse” against the president and his aides, he said, referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, “and Democrats have highlighted Trump’s abuse of his executive powers, yet they’re teaming up to extend the administration’s authority to warrantlessly gather data on Americans.”

What really happens in Yemen, is JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command, ie the president's personal kill squad.) or the CIA drone murder someone and let the Yemenese take credit for it.

The president of Yemen gave an unqualified endorsement of American drone strikes in his country during a visit here on Friday, cementing his status as a favored counterterrorism partner of the United States.

Let me lay some more "woke" knowledge on you...

Obama made drone murder “acceptable” presidential behavior!

From The Bureau of Investigative Journalism:

The US conducted its first known drone strike outside of Afghanistan in Yemen in 2002. The second attack in the country did not take place for another seven years. Both the Pentagon and CIA have carried out strikes in Yemen from bases in Djibouti and Saudi Arabia. The military strikes are carried out under the command of the secretive Joint Special Operations Command.

Also consider Terror Tuesdays. From the Guardian:

Since the Obama administration largely shut down the CIA's rendition programme, choosing instead to dispose of its enemies in drone attacks, those individuals who are being nominated for killing have been discussed at a weekly counter-terrorism meeting at the White House situation room that has become known as Terror Tuesday. Barack Obama, in the chair and wishing to be seen as a restraining influence, agrees the final schedule of names. Once details of these meetings began to emerge it was not long before the media began talking of "kill lists". More double-speak was required, it seemed, and before long the term disposition matrix was born.

In truth, the matrix is more than a mere euphemism for a kill list, or even a capture-or-kill list. It is a sophisticated grid, mounted upon a database that is said to have been more than two years in the development, containing biographies of individuals believed to pose a threat to US interests, and their known or suspected locations, as well as a range of options for their disposal.

It is a grid, however, that both blurs and expands the boundaries that human rights law and the law of war place upon acts of abduction or targeted killing. There have been claims that people's names have been entered into it with little or no evidence. And it appears that it will be with us for many years to come.

Saint Obama admit's "We tortured some folks", and then proceeded to send to prison the actual whistleblower on the CIA's torture program, but, now the bitch that was over the CIA's torture program, is fucking in charge of the CIA.

From the NewRepublic

When President Trump called in his State of the Union address for legislation that would allow crime victims to sue sanctuary cities for offenses committed by undocumented immigrants, CIA Director Gina Haspel rose to her feet, clapping. It was an unusual display of partisan spirit for the nation’s top intelligence officer, especially as it concerned a domestic law enforcement issue, an area where the agency is forbidden by law from acting.

It was “not right” for Haspel to attend the speech, much less applaud it, said Gen. Michael Hayden, who served as director of central intelligence under President George W. Bush. Bruce Riedel, the CIA’s former Saudi Arabia station chief, was similarly categorical. “It is odd that a DCI who avoids public appearances of any kind would make a public appearance at the most fractious SOTU in our time,” he told me in an email. “The job is being more politicized than it should be.”

(bold emphasis mine)

So, the woman in charge of Saint Obama's CIA torture program, is now Trump's head of the CIA. You see what happens when you don't prosecute CRIMINALS? The next administration brings them on board and unleashes more fucking terror on the planet!

And what happened to the Whistleblower on teh CIA's torture program?
From the Government Accountability Project:

Initially, the Obama administration charged Kiriakou with violating the Espionage Act. The Obama Justice Department has indicted six whistleblowers under the Act – more than all past administrations combined.

Gee, the people that actually committed a crime, well, they are running around the world somewhere, torturing more "suspects", because #VoteBlueNoMatterWho
"democrats" let the fucking criminals go...

Obama, the "constitutional professor", made this unconstitutional shit NORMAL! But hey, he's a "true" Democrat. #VoteBlueNoMatter who right?

Think about the "Unlimited Power" Obama has bequeathed to Trump!

Cora Currier describes The Kill Chain at the Intercept:

Secret military documents obtained by The Intercept offer rare documentary evidence of the process by which the Obama administration creates and acts on its kill list of terror suspects in Yemen and Somalia.

The documents offer an unusual glimpse into the decision-making process behind the drone strikes and other operations of the largely covert war, outlining the selection and vetting of targets through the ranks of the military and the White House, culminating in the president’s approval of a 60-day window for lethal action.

No constitutional protections what so ever, even for Americans, as the "criteria" is rather ambiguous.

It is not clear whether the study reflects the May policy guidance, since it does not give an extensive description of the criteria for approving a target, noting only that the target must be “a threat to U.S. interest or personnel.”

Gee, what's to prevent Trump from targeting Pelosi or heaven for bid Senator Sanders, as "threat to US interests"? He sure think's the Obama administration targeted him in a coup.

Trump used that exact power, when Trump launched 59 tomahawk missiles into Syria over alleged “chemical weapons attack”, with Sarin gas no less a presumption according to Time.Com:

The Administration, however, did not present public evidence on the type of chemicals used or whether it involved the use of a powerful nerve gas – a violation of Trump’s “red-line” announced last year. Defense Secretary James Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon that the U.S. was confident that chlorine was used, but couldn’t “rule-out” that the deadly nerve agent sarin was launched.

It remains unclear why the U.S. would unleash military strikes from the air and by sea if it did not have irrefutable proof that nerve agent was used. Assad has launched chlorine attacks against civilians dozens of times without U.S. reprisal, even though chemical weapons have been internationally banned after widespread use in World War I.

(bold emphasis & italic mine)

There is sooo much to unpack from this bullshit, it's almost mind numbing, at least to me. First and foremost, if it were a serious nerve agent, like sarin as James Mattis inferred, because one would not see "medical personnel" without hazmat suits helping alleged "victims".

In this video from ABCNEWS, at 1:31, we see people touching victims, with no hazmat gear, at all.

[video:https://youtu.be/EMUkGZgV3UE]

Now, let's look at what our own CDC says about Sarin.
From the CDC: (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH))

DESCRIPTION: Sarin (military designation GB) is a nerve agent that is one of the most toxic of the known chemical warfare agents. It is generally odorless and tasteless. Exposure to sarin can cause death in minutes. A fraction of an ounce (1 to 10 mL) of sarin on the skin can be fatal. Nerve agents are chemically similar to organophosphate pesticides and exert their effects by interfering with the normal function of the nervous system.

Personal Protective Equipment
GENERAL INFORMATION: First Responders should use a NIOSH-certified Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a Level A protective suit when entering an area with an unknown contaminant or when entering an area where the concentration of the contaminant is unknown. Level A protection should be used until monitoring results confirm the contaminant and the concentration of the contaminant.
NOTE: Safe use of protective clothing and equipment requires specific skills developed through training and experience.

Hello! The Emperor ain't got no fucking clothes!

If the Sarin nerve agent were deployed, the personnel clearly seen touching victims without proper hazmat gear, they would be suffering the same GOD damn symptoms as the "alleged" victims.

And what were Pelosi, Schumer and Hillary doing? The Intercept Reports:

Leading Congressional Democrats – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi – quickly praised Trump’s bombing while raising concerns about process. Hours before the bombing commenced, as it was known Trump was planning it, Hillary Clinton – who has been critical of Obama for years for not attacking Assad – appeared at an event and offered her categorical support for what Trump was planning

Oh crap, apologies, I got ahead of myself, let me back up a sec...

First and foremost, the US hasn't presented ANY EVIDENCE WHAT SO EVER the Assad "Regime" was responsible for any the alleged "chemical weapons" attacks, Sarin or otherwise. Not from Trump administration and certainly not from Obama's administration.

Oh Gee, Syria got rid of their chemical weapons... From the WSJ:

All the dangerous substances from Syria's chemical weapons program, including sulfur mustard and precursors of sarin, have now been removed from the country after a months long process, a Hague-based watchdog agency said Monday.

The announcement marks a diplomatic and logistical milestone. Never before has a country's entire chemical arsenal been removed from its borders, and now the most lethal chemicals are set to be destroyed aboard a U.S. ship at sea.

(bold emphasis mine)

By golly that's awfully convenient the US just happens to have a ship, which is specially designed to destroy the most lethal chemicals at sea. hmmmm

More from the WSJ article...

The U.S. has harshly criticized Syria for a series of delays in removing the chemicals, but Mr. Üzümcü said Monday Syria's cooperation has been "satisfactory." The mission has also showcased U.S.-Russian cooperation at a time of strain over Russian incursions into Ukraine.

Gee, "the US harshly criticized Syria for a series of delays in removing the chemicals", yet we read from CNN Oct 14, 2014, reporting on the US arsenal of Chemical Weapons, and what kind of stockpiles the US has left.

The United States estimates it will be at least another decade before it completes destruction of the remaining 10% of its chemical weapons, estimated at more than 3,100 tons. Russia has more than five times that amount left to destroy, according to the OPCW. While it's unclear exactly how many chemical weapons Syria has, U.S. intelligence and other estimates put its chemical weapons stockpile at about 1,000 tons stored in dozens of sites.

(bold emphasis mine)

Interesting, it's gonna be a decade from 2014 before the US can rid it's own stockpiles, while Syria has accomplished something no other country in world has accomplished.

"Never before has a country's entire chemical arsenal been removed from its borders"

Seymour Hersh, who brought the world the horrors of the Mai lai massacre, ie American troops massacring civilians,
from the Londond Review of Books, explains The Red Line and The Rate Line:

In 2011​ Barack Obama led an allied military intervention in Libya without consulting the US Congress. Last August, after the sarin attack on the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, he was ready to launch an allied air strike, this time to punish the Syrian government for allegedly crossing the ‘red line’ he had set in 2012 on the use of chemical weapons.* Then with less than two days to go before the planned strike, he announced that he would seek congressional approval for the intervention. The strike was postponed as Congress prepared for hearings, and subsequently cancelled when Obama accepted Assad’s offer to relinquish his chemical arsenal in a deal brokered by Russia.

Snip

The full​ extent of US co-operation with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in assisting the rebel opposition in Syria has yet to come to light. The Obama administration has never publicly admitted to its role in creating what the CIA calls a ‘rat line’, a back channel highway into Syria. The rat line, authorised in early 2012, was used to funnel weapons and ammunition from Libya via southern Turkey and across the Syrian border to the opposition. Many of those in Syria who ultimately received the weapons were jihadists, some of them affiliated with al-Qaida. (The DNI spokesperson said: ‘The idea that the United States was providing weapons from Libya to anyone is false.’)

In January, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on the assault by a local militia in September 2012 on the American consulate and a nearby undercover CIA facility in Benghazi, which resulted in the death of the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and three others. The report’s criticism of the State Department for not providing adequate security at the consulate, and of the intelligence community for not alerting the US military to the presence of a CIA outpost in the area, received front-page coverage and revived animosities in Washington, with Republicans accusing Obama and Hillary Clinton of a cover-up. A highly classified annex to the report, not made public, described a secret agreement reached in early 2012 between the Obama and Erdoğan administrations. It pertained to the rat line. By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria. A number of front companies were set up in Libya, some under the cover of Australian entities. Retired American soldiers, who didn’t always know who was really employing them, were hired to manage procurement and shipping. The operation was run by David Petraeus, the CIA director who would soon resign when it became known he was having an affair with his biographer. (A spokesperson for Petraeus denied the operation ever took place.)

Think for a moment, Saint Obama
- Packed his administration with Wall Street / Industry insiders
- Bailed out Wall Street while 11 TRILLION in American's wealth was DESTROYED, 10 millions jobs DESTROYED, while Wall Street got to keep their BONUSES.
- Lost over 900 "elected democrat" congressional seats / governorship's / state legislators, the worst democrat loss history.
- Became the "Drone Murder king"
- Expand George Bush's two illegal wars into 7 illegal wars
- Increased US oil production to record levels, while claiming to be a "climate change president"

The list of Saint Obama's failures is almost endless. And Creepy Joe Biden was right there with him, egging him on. Please explain to me how Libya's is doing? OR Syria for that matter...

Think for a moment, 16 of the last 24 years, the Democrats have held the white house. Both Bill Clinton and Obama had a house majority for their 1st two years in office, and and both of them squandered their opportunities. Both were willing to cut social security. Neither fundamentally changed the "system" to be more fair for all Americans, only the top 10% of income earners.

Both Bill Clinton and Saint Obama fucking enabled Wall Street to rape the American public, but hey, #VoteblueNoMaterWho...

Well, Fuck you! #BernieOrBust mother fuckers!

Drinks have a nice day!

Thanks, RantingRooster.

You are 100% dead on the money. In fact, I'd say it's even worse than you have demonstrated. But, I suspect you are fully aware of that.

This rant was needed. Righteous indeed.
