There is no hatred more complete and no malevolence more fanatical than that held by the American political class for the American people. The commissar’s rage against the kulaks, the jihadist’s fury against the infidel, the inquisitor’s wrath against the unbeliever, all of this pales in comparison to the genocidal bloodlust Senators and Congressmen have against their own constituents. And even as they gleefully promote the outsourcing of jobs, the importation of cheap labor, and the ruthless extirpation of property, wealth and liberty, these shameless parasites demand their slaves die to export their filthy System all over the world. The most contemptible and dangerous of these vermin is Senator John McCain. In a political career marked by near constant betrayal and hypocrisy, there are only two constants to his bloody career. The first is a passion for war, any war, for any reason, which can only be termed pathological. The second is the desire to replace the people of his own state and the voters of his own party. Like a dying venomous snake, McCain is using his final moments to strike at President Trump and those who supported him. In remarks gleefully repeated by the sociopathic controlled media, McCain simpered: To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain ‘the last best hope of earth’ for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history. [Read John McCain’s Liberty Medal ceremony speech, Boston Globe, October 17, 2017] One aches to ask Senator McCain directly what “problem” he thinks will be more effectively “solved” by importing the Third World. National security? Health care? Collapsing wages? Rising inequality? Crumbling infrastructure? McCain’s mumblings are practically self-discrediting. But as American journalists exist to serve power and suppress dissent it’s unlikely the Senator has been or will ever be asked to defend such ludicrous claims. “We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil,” he explained. “We are the custodians of those ideals at home, and their champion abroad.” These ideals, as is customary when they are invoked, are not defined. Yet given McCain’s tributes to the “immigrant’s dream,” the land which “reinvents itself,” and the current “international order,” his remarks are being hyped as a rebuke of “Trumpism” and celebrated by Leftist journalists who suddenly claim the right to define what is “conservatism” or “Republicanism” [John McCain just delivered a total and complete takedown of Trumpism, by Chris Cillizza, CNN, October 17, 2017] McCain’s ideals would be unrecognizable, not only to the Founding Fathers, but to practically any other American generation in history. Would the Father of Our Country have countenanced endless interventionism? Would either Jefferson or Hamilton have recognized a moral imperative for self-annihilation? Would any Federalist or anti-Federalist celebrate the replacement of the very people who had just won independence from the British Empire? McCain’s denunciation of “nationalism” is also selective. McCain is quite eager to defend the borders of other nations. “We are all Ukrainians,” he declared on one occasion [Senator John McCain: “We Are All Ukrainians, by Jay Newton-Small, Time, February 28, 2014]. “We are all Georgians” he pronounced on another. It is only when it comes to America that McCain’s “patriotism” becomes abstract and imaginary. Indeed, it seems every people on earth has a right to “blood and soil” which must be safeguarded by American arms, except Americans themselves. Even as this is written, Kurds and Iraqis are on the brink of war [The Kurdish War with Iraq, by Thomas Ricks, Foreign Policy, October 17, 2017]. If it erupts, once again, the tribal hatreds and border conflicts of peoples who should be of interest to us only in anthropology textbooks will be cause for the death of American soldiers. The sacrifice of our military is framed as “leadership.” “That leadership has had its costs, but we have become incomparably powerful and wealthy as we did,” McCain gloats. And he is right, in speaking of his peers; he and his fellow parasites are indeed incomparably powerful and wealthy. But such power and wealth does not trickle down to those he ostensibly represents. The wages of working Americans have stagnated for decades, and even skilled workers can barely earn a wage sufficient to support a family. And “power?” The tyranny of George III that our forefathers rose against would be a glorious boon for ordinary Americans of today, as their lives, families, communities, and property are forfeit to the whims of unelected bureaucrats, publicly funded “activists,” or sadistic reporters eager to rouse a mob. McCain’s tribute to America’s “power” and “wealth” is reminiscent of an Ottoman sultan boasting about shared victories to the janissaries he’s kidnapped from Eastern Europe. The democratic system McCain pledges Americans to defend is a form of government in which elected officials blatantly lie to their constituents and then taunt them at the very moment of betrayal. Consider McCain himself. He campaigned on repealing Obamacare, and then gleefully voted to save it [Mr. McCain Goes To Washington, by John Fund, National Review, July 30, 2017] He promised to “complete the danged fence” but instead has done his best to make sure Arizona ceases to be an American state in any meaningful sense. One may disagree with monarchy or some other form of unelected leadership, but it seems vastly preferably to a system where political power is awarded to the most outrageous liar. Such a system should not be tolerated, let alone fought for. Besides, the liberal international order McCain defends is nothing of the kind. The Western world is not free. [The Liberalism That Isn’t, by Costin Alamariu, Daily Caller, September 7, 2017] East Germany in the 1980s was in some ways more free than contemporary Germany is today: it would not have occurred to Erich Honecker to expose his subjects to mass sexual assault at the hands of Muslim invaders and then arrest anyone who protests. [Married couple sentenced for migrant critical Facebook post, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 8, 2016] The Occupation Government in Washington has presided over the Death of the West. The world order McCain defends is, quite explicitly, built on the dispossession of the European-Americans who actually created the American polity. If our civilization or country is to survive in any meaningful sense, that order must be destroyed. And that means replacing the political class, the enemy collaborators, exemplified by the likes of Senator McCain. His warmongering against a nuclear armed Russia is unhinged. His desire to hurt our own nation is so unrelenting and energetic one wonders if he is working under duress or threat of blackmail. I almost hope so. To think he actually believes these ideas is a terrifying possibility. It is not polite to speak ill of the terminally ill. Yet this cruel, murderous and thoroughly despicable character poses a threat not just to the existence of the American nation, but to the very lives of people all over the world. I wish the Senator no harm. I only offer a desperate prayer in self-defense that his retirement will be forthcoming and his media megaphone removed. The political life not just of our country, but of the world, must be rid of this Man of Blood, this sociopathic butcher—who, shuffling to his grave, seems determined to drag us all down with him.
It’s worth noting McCain gave his comments while accepting an award from…Joe Biden. Much like McCain’s “patriotism” consists of deconstructing the Historic American Nation itself, Biden poses as a champion of the “working class” because he rides Amtrak but supports “constant, unrelenting” immigration, outsourcing, anti-white racial preferences and endless, nihilistic wars. McCain and Biden, are, in all essentials, practically identical.
McCain draws a distinction between “nationalism” and “patriotism,” with the former being defined by the concrete realities of history and heritage and the latter formed by mysterious abstractions.

Like U.S. Rep Frederica Wilson who is “all hat and no cattle” you are “all bullshit and no brain” for failing to portray this prime example of how important context is in understanding the meaning behind this video and the reason for it was that it was torturously and forcibly extracted. By posting this video out of context you are attempting by insinuation to show that when he was a POW, McCain was a “Hanoi Hilton songbird” who collaborated with the enemy. You however show no evidence to back up this claim which is strongly contradicted by accounts from interviews with other POWs. Robert Timberg interviewed many POWs who served with McCain, said there's no evidence that he ever collaborated with the North Vietnamese. "I've never known of any occasion in which Sen. McCain provided the North Vietnamese with anything of value," Timberg said. George "Bud" Day and Orson Swindle, fellow POWs, said that POWs sometimes were forced to talk when they were tortured, but they tried to tell lies to mislead their captors. "We were all tortured and we wrote confessions under the pressure of torture," said Swindle, who was a cellmate with McCain. "John McCain never collaborated with the enemy. He, like every one of us, submitted to severe torture. John McCain did nothing dishonorable. He was heroic." Day, a Medal of Honor winner, said about a flyer to portray McCain as a traitor, this is "the most outrageous f------ lie I've ever heard." When he was interrogated, McCain gave his ship's name and squadron number and confirmed the target of his failed mission. He also gave the names of the Green Bay Packers' offensive line and said they were members of his squadron. Asked to identify future targets, he mentioned North Vietnamese cities that U.S. planes had already bombed. At one point after severe torture McCain broke down and signed a confession. But Timberg said McCain deliberately used misspellings, grammatical errors and Communist jargon to show he was writing under duress: "I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate. I almost died, and the Vietnamese people saved my life . . . " John McCain is a long-time acquaintance of Doctor Phillip Butler at the U.S. Naval Academy and as Prisoners of War in Vietnam. Phillip Butler is a 1961 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a former light-attack carrier pilot. In 1965 he was shot down over North Vietnam where he spent eight years as a prisoner of war. He is a highly decorated combat veteran who was awarded two Silver Stars, two Legion of Merits, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Heart medals. After his repatriation in 1973 he earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California at San Diego. Butler has said he is disappointed to see John McCain represent himself politically in ways that are not accurate. He said there are instances where he doesn’t see that John is the "straight talk express" on politics he markets himself to be. While Butler said that McCain is a remarkable man who has made enormous personal achievements and he is a man that I am proud to call a fellow POW who "Returned With Honor" Butler did not support or vote for McCain is the election for McCain to be President of the United States. Butler had this to say about McCain's treatment as a POW: 2) John was badly injured when he was shot down. Both arms were broken and he had other wounds from his ejection. Unfortunately this was often the case -- new POW's arriving with broken bones and serious combat injuries. Many died from their wounds. Medical care was non-existent to rudimentary. Relief from pain was almost never given and often the wounds were used as an available way to torture the POW. Because John's father was the Naval Commander in the Pacific theater, he was exploited with TV interviews while wounded. These film clips have now been widely seen. But it must be known that many POW's suffered similarly, not just John. And many were similarly exploited for political propaganda. 3) John was offered, and refused, "early release." Many of us were given this offer. It meant speaking out against your country and lying about your treatment to the press. You had to "admit" that the U.S. was criminal and that our treatment was "lenient and humane." So I, like numerous others, refused the offer. This was obviously something none of us could accept. Besides, we were bound by our service regulations, Geneva Conventions and loyalties to refuse early release until all the POW's were released, with the sick and wounded going first. 4) John was awarded a Silver Star and Purple Heart for heroism and wounds in combat. This heroism has been played up in the press and in his various political campaigns. But it should be known that there were approximately 600 military POW's in Vietnam. Among all of us, decorations awarded have recently been totaled to the following: Medals of Honor -- 8, Service Crosses -- 42, Silver Stars -- 590, Bronze Stars - - 958 and Purple Hearts -- 1,249. John certainly performed courageously and well. But it must be remembered that he was one hero among many -- not uniquely so as his campaigns would have people believe. John McCain served his time as a POW with great courage, loyalty and tenacity. More than 600 of us did the same.
Gatlin,--- There is no evidence that John McCain did anything that was dishonorable while he was a POW. There is plenty of evidence that John McCain did a lot that was dishonorable while he was a Senator.
You are absolutely correct, Sir. I commend you on your astute observation with your having and showing shrewdness in your innate ability to notice and understand something clearly….IN THIS CASE.
We agree then, ---- IN THIS CASE. By the way, did you really fly missions over NVN? Or were you claiming to have POW friends imprisoned there? Or both? Just wondering.
Just wondering. However, since I am so magnanimous and can be very generous or forgiving towards such a doubting Thomas skeptic who refuses to believe anything without his direct personal knowledge of an event….I will take time to graciously answer your questions. As to your first question: Now, if you like, you can come join in my memories … Click HERE to see more Operation Arc Light videos.
It's not strange at all to wonder about the veracity of a man who seizes every opportunity to toot his own horn. Thanks for once again doing so.
You also need to get over your obsessive jealousy of me….then find a way to overcome your inferiority complex and also accomplish great things in your life. Because …
I thought of you last night watching Pluto.tv. MST3K was featuring the 1964 movie The Starfighters, a documentary movie about the Lockheed F-104b fighter. It starred Bob Dornan and it laster was a part of his bid to become a Congressman. I'm sure you recall "B-1 Bob".
Is that yukon, meguro and Gatlin in the foreground? Gatlin hates B1 Bob Dornan because he slams McCain for his POW/MIA information cover ups, as a Senator from Arizona.
Your being unable to continue an intelligent discourse can be considered a major reason for the posting community’s wide acceptance of your failure to post anything beneficially informative and the reason you attempt to interject humor. Humor in forum postings can be acknowledged widely as a area of linguistic importance. However, failed humor will definitely not received much linguistic attention. After reading your asinine failed humor remarks an educated person can easily understand why.
unable to continue You and your Panamanian Senator both need to be deported to Aztlán! The Mexica depart from Aztlán. From the 16th Century Codex Boturini. Created by an unknown Aztec hand in the 16th century.

Hey, I have a good idea for you. Instead of continuing to take the abuse heaped on you, why don’t you do what Muslims do? You may find it more gratifying and far less painful. Just suggesting … I am done with you for now on this thread….FUCK OFF.
Heh! Two insane peas in a pod.

THIS RECORDING HAS BEEN SEALED BY
THE US GOVERNMENT SINCE IT’S BROADCAST
IT WAS ONLY RELEASED THIS WEEK
WHEN SOMEONE FOUND IT MISLABLED
IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES. 1) Was he tortured for 5 years? No. He was subjected to torture and maltreatment during his first 2 years, from September of 1967 to September of 1969. After September of 1969 the Vietnamese stopped the torture and gave us increased food and rudimentary health care. Several hundred of us were captured much earlier. I got there April 20, 1965 so my bad treatment period lasted 4 1/2 years. President Ho Chi Minh died on September 9, 1969, and the new regime that replaced him and his policies was more pragmatic. They realized we were worth a lot as bargaining chips if we were alive. And they were right because eventually Americans gave up on the war and agreed to trade our POW's for their country. A damn good trade in my opinion! But my point here is that John allows the media to make him out to be THE hero POW, which he knows is absolutely not true, to further his political goals.
There are other favorable testimonials about McCain’s conduct as a POW which bear the same witness to support his bearing, character and actions….I have chosen to present only a few of those. There is no evidence that John McCain did anything that was dishonorable while he was a POW.
Attack John McCain for his political views and actions all you wish to. You will be correct and justified to do so. But unless you can show verifiable evidence McCain did something wrong as a POW that other POWs did not also do the likes of while under the duress of extreme torture and was not considered wrong….then let time McCain served as a POW be sacred and remain as such. The Canary Clan is charged with the responsibility to search impartially for the facts or actualities of a subject or situation. It is eminently qualified to perform this charge by devoting considerable time, deep reflection, careful deliberation, and serious consultation to approach decisions without any particular ideology or agenda. The Canary Clan has a commitment to respect precedent, fairness and a determination to faithfully present the facts.
Long live freedom of speech, long live the Canary Clan and God Bless America!

It is extremely strange that you should be “just wondering” about this enough to ask your specific questions. Because of that, I am “just wondering” why I should even bother answering you since you have never believed anything I stated on the forum about my military career. Now, have you? I participated in Operation Arc Light. [Click HERE for information on Operation Arc LIght] I did not participate in Operation Linebacker or Operation Linebacker II….I spent that year attending the Air Command and Staff College.
As to your second question: I had one friend who was shot down in a B-52 over Hanoi who fortunately survived the shoot down only to have the misfortune of spending some time in the Hanoi Hilton. Before leaving Air Command and Staff College to spend a year tour in Thailand crewing on the AC-130 Spectre Gun Ship, I had the good fortune to serve as sponsor for another friend who was shot down in a F-4 and who as a returning POW was entering the Air Command and Staff College the year after me. I had served with both of these returning POWs in the B-58 Hustler at Grissom AFB.
You can chose to believe any of this you want to or continue to disbelieve anything I state about my military career. I really don’t GAS. I did have some pleasant memories reviewing the Operation Arc Light article and the videos while recalling the times I spent with my friends so many years ago and that was satisfying to me for the effort to answer your post.
