Here's a hint as to my question above - and ties in to your question:

 

This is why you don't go to war based on videos or pictures alone:

Notice anything?

 

Are you talking about the Free Syrian Army involvement in propaganda designed to topple Assad, and McCain's direct involvement with them?

Not just direct involvement... look at his lapel. 

 

A sitting US senator wearing a VERY specific pin. It's not a Syrian pin. It's AQ (essentially)... A sitting US Senator wearing the pin of an enemy who slaughtered 3,000+ Americans on our own soil while he meets with them to cut an arms deal.

 

Never thought I'd be rooting for cancer.

:lol:   That photo was reportedly taken while McCain was on a trip to Syria to meet with the Free Syrian Army.  Look at his label pin.  It's a flag.  Difficult to see, but it appears to have stripes with the top one lighter (possibly green).  Bottom stripe black, appear to be 3 stars across the middle white stripe.

 

So, I don't know the truth of his pin.  I think it's a FSA flag which makes sense because that's who he's going to meet.  You, seem to think it's an AQ flag.  Which AQ flag has stripes?

Oh, here's the FSA flag.  Look carefully.  Do your own research.

Much more to come. The game is afoot, big month ahead.

 

 

Gary... this is nonsense. Respectfully. 

 

That's like saying the plan to stop a mass shooter from reloading his weapon is to provide him with a belt feeder and unlimited rounds. 

 

The plan was to help the Iranian government work around sanctions. That's not something one does for an enemy. That's something one does for an ally.

* Just like calling off DHS, FBI, and NSA from stopping Hezbollah from running guns, drugs, and humans in and out of the United States (see Operation Cassandra) was done to assuage the Mullahs.

* Just like exposing the US's role in Stuxnet (and the capabilities of the cyber toolkit) to the NYT through your favorite general was done to help the Mullahs.

* Just like paying out over $2B in cash and sanction relief in unmarked, untraceable Euros boarded onto cargo aircraft which do not all land in Tehran.

* Just like abusing the spying tools of the NSA and USIC to harass, blackmail, and extort AMERICAN reporters who dare to publish unfriendly reports on the Iranian deal. 

 

Obama's Iranian plan had nothing to do with preventing the Mullahs from getting a nuclear weapon and everything to do with helping them maintain power.

 

Aiding and abetting Hezbollah and the Mullahs is the legacy of Obama's Iranian foreign policy. Ask yourself why he was willing to risk so much to help the largest terrorist funding organization in the world... 

 

Truth is going to be hard for some to see.

The truth will be hardest to see for you because you put so much research and effort into creating your own truth.


The plan was to get Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions.  I am no fan of Obama, he wanted a deal with Iran in the worst way and may have stupidly ignored the results of Operation Cassandra to enable meeting his deal.  But to assume that he was knowingly and actively guilty of treason is just a little too far off the reservation for me.  Peace.  I do think there's some substance to Horowitz and the entire election scandal.  Most assuredly not as deep as you are convinced but we'll see and I have followed it and have enjoyed your work here posting documents.

If you don't know the truth of the pin, do more research. It's the FSA flag, not the Syrian flag... and the FSA in 2013 (and today) was being run in the battlefield by whom? 

 

AQ. 

 

Who was the funding and arms that Sid was arranging meant for? 

 

AQ. 

 

You think this is acceptable just because they changed their logo and name so Americans not paying attention wouldn't make the connection?

 

Or is it treason of the worst kind?

What the hell kind of Senator carries his own bag?

 

When Carter was President he would carry his own bags at the airport when the cameras were on, when they turned off he dropped them an his assistants picked them up to carry.

That would be less repulsive than a sitting senator forgoing the American pin for that of an enemy we launched not one, but several wars to fight, on his way to make a deal to get them funding and weapons from the USIC

 

He's a traitor of the highest order.

(2) websites that promote and facilitate prostitution have been reckless in allowing the sale of sex trafficking victims and have done nothing to prevent the trafficking of children and victims of force, fraud, and coercion; and

 

 

(3) clarification of such section is warranted to ensure that such section does not provide such protection to such websites.

 

SEC. 3. Promotion of prostitution and reckless disregard of sex trafficking.

“(A) any claim in a civil action brought under section 1595 of title 18, United States Code, if the conduct underlying the claim constitutes a violation of section 1591 of that title;

 

 

“(B) any charge in a criminal prosecution brought under State law if the conduct underlying the charge would constitute a violation of section 1591 of title 18, United States Code; or

Quote

 

The signing occurred as Washington sharpens its scrutiny on technology companies, which have largely evaded regulation, for their use of privacy protections and consumer data. Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook Inc, has been testifying before lawmakers this week.

 

Silicon Valley has long opposed efforts to rewrite the Communications Decency Act, which protects companies from liability for content posted by their users and has been credited with fueling the sector’s growth for 20 years.

 

However, Facebook and other technology companies and lobbying groups mostly withdrew opposition to the legislation in recent months after negotiating changes that limited the bill’s potential impact.

 

Some technology companies fear the bill could signal more efforts to tighten regulation on the industry.

I'm actually okay with protecting companies from liability for content posted by their users.

 

The problem is...Facebook can't have it both ways, claiming they own the data but are not responsible for it.
