A few comments first. For starters, I lost any trust I might have had for Tulsi Gabbard when she endorsed that ultra-fake liberal Bernie Sanders. Second, I have taken the decision not to comment on US internal politics on this blog, but in this case I think that rather than seeing Gabbard’s video as an internal US politics phenomenon, I see it as a sign of the amazing state of decay of the USA as a nation: when a (supposed) left liberal takes on the talking points of (supposed) conservatives, something major is happening, especially when you have a (supposed) liberal President in the White House. Finally, Gabbard is way, waaaaaaaay too smart not to see that the Dem Party is a political Titanic and no matter how loud the “propaganda orchestra” plays, that ship is sinking very, very fast. Time to leave it!
One more thing: I am willing to bet that Gabbard is planning to run for President in 2024 and considering the freak show on the Dem party side, her real opponent will be either Trump or Desantis. But look at her talking points – they are conservative through and through, which means that her running can takes votes away from the GOP candidates. Thus it is possible that while ostentatiously breaking away from the Dem party and the freaks running it, she will end up taking just enough votes on the right to give the victory to the Neocons running the Dem party (the GOP is also run by Neocons known as RINOs – Republican In Name Only).
These are just possibilities, and only time will show if Gabbard has had a real change of heart. She did not apologize for being a loyal Sanders/Biden supporter, but at least she did accurately describe the Dem party for what it is: an profoundly evil gang of freaks run by warmongering, racist, Neocon puppeteers.
Again, I am not interested in internal US politics which I describe as a useless fistfight between pilots for the control of a flight deck in an aircraft with no engines or even wings! However, the fact that the pilots are fighting shows that they realize that their situation is desperate. Can you recall another instance of a well-known politicians slamming the door on his/her party while that party controls both Congress and the White House?
Please think about this while listening to Tulsi Gabbard. And yes, it would be wonderful if she was for real. I have my (big) doubts but there is plenty of time before 2024 to get a better feel for what this is all about.

Tulsi is a CFR member, therefore a puppet of the system. Of note ‘maverick’ 1972 antiwar Democratic Presidential candidate Senator George Mc Govern of South Dakota was a CFR member also. Mc Govern ran a half hearted campaign, seemed happy to lose, ensuring Nixon would get re-elected. Mc Govern’s daughter, Terry, was an alcoholic mess, she died drunk in the street. Maybe a difficult childhood like Ashley Biden? Everyone in the CFR is cabal in some fashion. Tulsi is the second coming of George McGovern, 50 years later.
Tulsi is a CFR member, therefore a puppet of the system.
That is a little too much of a shortcut. I was member of the IISS (International Institute for Strategic Studies) and then I resigned with a letter accusing them of being a NATO mouthpiece.
Also, the CFR is an old rag which has lost its real power or relevance.
But that is definitely a question somebody should ask her and see what she has to say.
Cheers
CFR + WEF Young Global Leader. No way I could trust her, she’s probably rotten to the core. And she’s some kind of decoy.
she resigned from the WEF young leaders in May 2022 and has since come out against them – the website where I read that is – strangely enough – offline today haha
One does a disservice to Tulsi Gabbard by these attacks. None of us adopted the Truther view of the evil machinations about the western globalist elites on the day we were born. How many of us realized that 911 was an inside job on September 12, 2001? None of the best-known Truthers would admit to that even. One by one, we’ve come to this realization or that about 911, COVID-19, the Mideast wars, Ukraine, etc. Even today there are many Truthers who refuse to believe that the official narratives of Uvalde, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Las Vegas, Boston, and other mass shootings are totally absurd–but eventually that, too, will change. Gabbard has always been anti-imperialist and somewhat of a social conservative; she initially supported Bernie Sanders because he seemed like he was a genuine outsider and anti-militarist, even though that has now been proven wrong. Her views have not fundamentally changed over the years, but the Democratic Party has.
Tulsi was never in the WEF, full story here, got it from MOA

Love it when people throw CFR around, not knowing well whose offshoot (or continuation) it is…
“Tulsi is a CFR member”
incorrect.
Tulsi WAS a CFR member. She has said that they didnt like her ideas very much.
Better to be more careful.
– Tulsi is a CFR member, therefore a puppet of the system.
You are a judgemental Georgian
– Back in February, Medvedev was still looking west and his son was in University in the USA. Either Medvedev suddenly is a born again Russian nationalist and war hawk or a political opportunist, take your pick.
Either Medvedev is a “war hawk” or a “political opportunist”
?
Actually, I trust Tulsi a lot more than I trust Medvedev. Until recently, he has been very pro-Western and was president in 2011 when Libya was thrown under the bus by Russia during the NATO coup.
Joy (Georgian – Georgia is currently working to become a full member of NATO)

She quit rhe CFR many years ago.
I have been voting for many years and things just get worst… I have little regard for politicians; I would much prefer competent people running things rather than the best liars or bullshitters for that’s what it takes to be elected to office…
Well, you obviously didn’t vote for Trump. During his campaign he said basically that he would bring the troops home, keep the drugs and human trafficking out, and bring the jobs home. He was partly successful in the first two, more so on the jobs front, but he was betrayed at every turn by the Deep State. Until COVID hit–which he didn’t want and didn’t believe should lead to lockdowns–his presidency was clearly making inroads into some intractable problems. That very fact is what led to his overthrow by the elites in the most fraudulent election by far in U.S. presidential history.
Tulsi voted for funding for Guantanamo.
USA elections are totally fraudulent (primarily through tampering with electronic voting machines). The reality is that the president of the USA is appointed.
She often talks positively about her “brothers and sisters” in the military, whereas i look at them as low level war criminals, many of whom are psychopaths.
Anton, do you know any ex or current military people? They’re not all war criminals or psychopaths.
It’s the same question I ask folks who rant on about evil Russians. Do you actually know any?
I know and have met many USA military people.
I should have been more precise: Any soldier who has participated in an illegal USA war, under international law, is a war criminal (including Tulsi).
I never said that all USA soldiers are psychopaths.
– under international law,
There is no “laws” about war, just voluntarily treaties, like Geneve Convention.
Gorbatow is basically clueless.
Kjell 108 wrote: “There is no “laws” about war, just voluntarily treaties”.
Why then have people been sentenced for war crimes by the international court in the Hague?
Whether the UN International Criminal Court is impartial in its rulings, and usually rules in favor of the Anglo Zionists cabal, is another matter.
It seems to me that it is Kjell 108 that is clueless not Anton Gorbatow.
Status of “international law”:
– International law differs from state-based legal systems in that it is primarily—though not exclusivel
applicable to states, rather than to individuals,
and operates largely through consent, since there is no universally accepted authority to enforce it upon sovereign states.
Consequently, states may choose to not abide by international law,
Just as I stated
The trial against Milošević as I remember …was about prosecuting some politician captured by NATO and applying Dutch law … or maybe Nuremberg rules …
It was a scam trial
One of the reasons that the militaries like very young adults is because they have not fully formed their opinions and philosophies related to war, politics and such. The same can be true of most of the participants in the so called color revolutions and anarchy movements. Consider the inordinate amount of suicides that the U.S. is experiencing with the veterans and active duty. One of the reasons is they didn’t like what they saw or did. As a former soldier I can tell you the only thing that kept me going was the brotherhood. At a later stage in my career I realized that the whole thing is BS. My first realization was the fact that I never defended the US, just its interests. It appears to me that Gabby is in the middle of her learning phase. Col. David Hackworth has an excellent position which he lays out in his book “About Face”.
the big thing about Tulsi is her support of Israel – this is what Cynthia McKinney said about Tulsi today –
” In addition to Tulsi making a clear and definitive statement on Brahminism/casteism,
I’d like to hear her position on Israel/Palestine. Knowing her positions on these two issues is key for me; otherwise, soso ”

“Can you recall another instance of a well-known politicians slamming the door on his/her party while that party controls both Congress and the White House?”
Not in the US, no. But in the UK, foreign secretary Robin Cook, home minister John Denham and health minister Philip Hunt resigned from Tony Blair’s government in 2003 over their opposition to the Iraq war, which Bliar was strenuously advocating with and on behalf of Dubya Bush and company.
Cook, one of the finest Labour politicians ever, “collapsed and died” while hill-walking in 2005. There were strong indications that Cook at the time was preparing to ignore the Official Secrets Act and reveal the lies under which Bliar took the country to war.
Cook was probably Skripalled by MI6.
Believe it or not, we were twice as daft and naive back then.
The Lady is still growing up – they say that life begins at 40…and she’s seen a lot, a lot to think about and grow from.

I have heard that she wants VP on a DeSantis run. Seems logical.
Really?
A DeSantis-Gabbard candidacy would make minced meat of the braindead freaks at the Dem party.
Where did you hear that rumor?
Luongo suggested it.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/whos-afraid-tulsi-gabbard-everyone
DeSantis in March said that Putin was “an authoritarian gas station attendant with some legacy nuclear weapons”. He also praised the Ukrainian resistance.
Putin has said that it really doesn’t matter who the president is because the the real power always stays in place.
Giorgia Meloni will work for Italian interests, Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis will work for American interests, and Putin will work for Russian interests.

The context here was: – Putin has said that it really doesn’t matter who the president is because the the real power always stays in place.
Leninist Anton Gorbatow promotes US elections do not matter.
But obviously commentators here are very occupied about US elections.
If Putin has stated he could not care less about US elections he has little knowledge of US.
Signorina Meloni, who praised Assad and Hezbollah for protecting Syrian Christians for not so long ago, only to pledge allegiance to Israel as soon as she won the election, is a perfect example of a National Zionist.
National Zionism is a term coined by Alain Soral and described in length by Andrei in this article, which I consider for one of the most important on this site.
Many, if not most, Western “oppositional” parties and movements that have been gaining popularity lately sadly fall into this category. Here are, for instance, Sweden Democrats showing their true colors.
There’s been speculation about it for some time, starting back when the Alt-Right was a thing — Pence was not well-liked and some people suggested Gabbard as Trump’s next running mate. Far as I know there’s been nothing official.
My interpretation of Tulsi Gabbard is that she is honest, but somewhat naive, and mostly spineless. I’ve twice seen her duck hard questions from a friendly interviewer. I was very surprised that she worked up the courage to call out the Dem party, let alone leave it. Her exit statement confirmed my opinion that her views of the Democrat party were, at least until recently, naive and hopeful rather than realistic.
She has not, to my knowledge, said anything about wanting to be on the ticket as VP. But there’s been some speculation about it by various factions of the public, because she is well-liked across party lines, and would bring a lot of Democrat voters over to a GOP ticket (especially if the next Dem Party Machine choice is Biden Again).
The VP position has two functions not in the U.S. Constitution: The first is anti-assassination insurance, which is why so many VPs have been unlikeable, unelectable people — much as we look at Kamela the political whore and pray that Biden lives to the end of his term (just as we looked at Biden and prayed that no one shot Obama; sadly, we were right). The second is to generate enough name recognition to make the VP electable in the next presidential campaign. Most people vote by name recognition, not by careful evaluation.
I do not care, myself. I will vote against any Democrat put forth, at any level. GOPs can be spineless weathercocks but at least occasionally vote in the interests of We The People. Dems always vote in lockstep with the will of the Democrat Party.
Let us just remember that Trump was talking a lot of sense before getting elected, and in fact so did Obama. Obama turned out to be a pure fraud, and Trump became a victim of a color revolution in his own country.
We should ditch this “the next US president will make change” distraction once and for all. It wastes time and is dangerous.
so what is your alternative ? I think to change the system from within is maybe the only hope.
There is no alternative, it’s a terminal situation ….women and children first ….
System Pigs of The Borg; change is not what they do. I’ve never been a fan of Gabbard…..two things would change my view, possibly,
if she stays in the public life, she should reveal her position on Palestine and should she ever join Roger Waters on the Terror States kill list….hard to imagine adults in the room having a kill list, what kind of f’d up dystopian world are we living in?
Mr P speaks of change, personal change, reflection on past deeds leading to changes in personal behaviour…..one waits, watches, listens.
Cheers M
No one changes their personal behaviors unless forced or convinced to do so, and the latter often comes w/a sore belly for some reason.
Redemption comes in many forms……..empathy and compassion for those that try ……still falls back to deeds….. measurable actions. We wait, we watch, we listen.

However, there is an international law regarding war, and it is accepted and ratified by most Nations on the Globe at the UN. However we have some bully states (US Israel) who do not want to abide by the law, as there is no consensus within the UN Security Council to enforce the law against these Nations.
However there was a consensus in the UN to send in peace keeping forces into the former Yugoslavia, and to erect a No fly Zone in Libya. In both cases the missions was used by NATO to bomb civilians and civilian infrastructure, and plunder these states, in clear violation of the UN Mandate given.
That is why the international order is crumbling, and by it, the whole mandate for the UN.
History repeats like the League of Nations crumbled post WWII.

We once had a high standard of living, human rights, a Constitution, and a sufficient military in Denmark, but those days are gone. Instead of teasing you by the history of Norway, I would never scold our Norwegian brother for profiting on his Viking brothers in the south and the East.

Denmark was voted most happy people in the world some years ago. Last year it was Finland.
But of course the marxists will always talk about how “underpaid” “the working class” is. It has nothing to do with reality, as Danes have a high standard of living, enjoying cheap Chinese products (having EURO). They probably have Chinese products in Moscow too, but not as cheap imports.

The reality is we do not have Marxists and EURO in Denmark, and the so call High standard of living has deteriorated drastically since we entered the EU.
At the moment we can’t even afford cheap Chinese products, because we are using all our income on Norwegian gas.

Please, both of you, get back on topic and take off topic matters (like Denmark) to the MFC or other open thread. Thank you – the mod.
Term limits for federal politicians to reduce the corruption. What I think will happen is the US Dollar will cease being the reserve currency then change will certainly happen. To what end is anyone guess. The multipolar world is going to kill the empire. How much the empire fights during its demise is worrisome.
Term limits in California just made things worse. Instead of doing their jobs, politicians spent their 2nd term campaigning for the next higher office. This helped push the state toward the all-Democrat shithole it’s become. I lived there at the time and watched it happen (and voted against it, however useless that was).
That’s right, I haven’t seen in my life time even one US president who helps his country, unless you name Putin. Since I was born in Russia I can say, ultimately only Putin is helping the US of Arrogance to become less alcoholic self destruct.
I hope.
Not even one lousy mayor in San Francisco killafornia has done the city a lick of good in my time here.

Thanks London, Gavin, Willie and Ed Lee. At least Ed Lee didn’t have to live to see the results of his reign of error.
Trump was very good for the U.S., until the Covidicy put a halt to all his policies. Which may have been the point.
Agreed Putin has been good for Russia. I hope he has trained a successor who can continue in his shoes. When I researched the other candidates in Russia’s last election, I became terrified of something happening to Putin, as the rest seemed to be all communists or grifters.
All Presidents are just figure heads by the administrative state. The alphabet agencies will run rough shod over all of them.
There is no way Biden/Harris can stop Trump/DeSantis or Trump/Gabbard in 2024.

Tulsi is from Hawaii and her favorite pastime was surfing. Hawaii is a deep blue state along the likes of California. If you want to run and be successful in politics in Hawaii, you have to be democrat.
I think the democrats have called her “Putin’s Puppet” second only to Trump. Independant thought is not allowed in the democrat party. She was always the best candidate for President in the democrat party and she always had crossover appeal to republicans. Then she would take some stupid democratic position and destroy herself.
I wrote her years ago and told her to leave the democrat party and told her why she had no future there, which was probably over 4 years ago. No matter how good she is, she will never be recognized in Hawaii as a republican.
I suspect she will do great in republican politics on a national level..
Anything’s possible in Freakland USA. Look at Starmer in Little Freakland, who was considered to have the appeal of a wilting lettuce 3 months ago. but now he’s riding 33 points up in the polls. If the Zionist handlers of major political parties reckon you can be useful to them, then for enough campaign funds you’ll be a contender.
Both parties have just one objective- Full Spectrum Dominance. Methods to achieve it may differ slightly.
this comment has been flagged as of little/no value (possibly troll) by the saker
Since voting has no value in the United States. I would hope Tulsi would be available for more physical endeavors. She’s always looked well qualified from that perspective.
I hear you; you’d like her to toss your helmet in the ring and run.
How come most Americans are avoiding the Elephant in the room. Yeah, Hillary (What Happened)? Clinton.
Totally refreshed from her 2016 physical tumbles & exertions and with most of the Foundation money repackaged offshore.
OK, she’s put on another 50ibs and can’t fit into the regulation Chairman Mao pantsuit, or the Jimmy Choo’s due to the heavily inflamed swollen ankles, but a new softer image was called for, maybe . . . . Bill hasn’t served under her, well not since the blowback from the herpes type 2 recurrent.
I have a lot of respect for Tulsi Gabbard; she raises a lot of important questions. Unfortunately, what she is missing is that the ‘social crisis’ and increasingly reckless and dangerous US foreign policy are a direct consequence of the continuing/accelerating decline of late-stage American capitalism. Joe Biden, and the neocon cabal he has surrounded himself with, are promoting the policies of their financial backers- the proverbial ‘1%’ aka the ruling elite. By and large the Republican party, aka the American Fascist party represents the same financial interests, with a slightly different ideological bent. Bottom line- the American empire views the Russia-China-Iran axis as an intolerable obstacle to US global power. Perilous times ahead.
I liked her stand against US involvement in Syria , after she went to Syria on fact-finding mission , she entered a bill in congress to prevent US support for terrorist’s in Syria {moderate’ rebels} she took alot of heat for her position on Syria , an actual anti-war position politician ,
But the USA democracy/human rights/rule of law blah blah is just a mask {the Devil always hides His face behind masks}
Is irrelevant because as Noam Chomsky said the system is stuck that no matter who’s the American president the threat of American foreign policy will be the same.
I personally despise Democratic party voters because most of them are actually quite smart people and educated people who mage a conscious decision to switch off their brains and consciences to vote for whatever utterly malignant candidate their party comes up with, making them hypocrites far beyond the usual loyal Republican voter, on average neither particularly intelligent nor well educated, which makes them just ignorant and politically scammable.
I have to respectfully disagree on your assessment of the dem or rep voters and education levels. That is a construct portrayed by the propaganda.
I will agree or partially agree on this. The US higher education system is nothing more than an indoctrination camp which teaches people what to think, and neglects the original purpose of how to learn.
Actually, the IQ and education levels are (on average) quite a bit higher in Republican states. The difference is that most of us on the Republican side have lives and businesses and families, degrees in STEM and full-time work that actually produces something, and don’t have time to become politicians and activists. So GOP candidates are not the cream of the crop. When we get a retired businessman like Trump or Gianforte who decides to take up the reins, things are very different than when it’s a career politician.
Conversely, Democrat candidates are (90% by actual poll) lawyers and “journalists” (and lately, activists) by training, who weren’t good enough to make it in the business world but are still the best the Dems have to offer (and Dem voters tend to be either entirely uneducated, or full of degrees in Useless Studies that are only good for a job in HR or government). So they put forth grifters like the Clintons, activists like Obama, and empty suits like Biden, to be ordered around by the special interests of the Dem Party rather than being guided by the People.
Tulsi Gabbard said flat out she joined the Dem Party out of idealism, not realism — she naively believed its public image as the “party of the people” was reality.
Democrats march in lockstep. Republicans are like herding cats.
Tulsi will never be elected to any office again.
She has a future in an administration. She’s smart and personable.
She would make an excellent diplomat.
Sadly, it is more likely she will just be a potential never realized by the American system. Every now and then a bright light appears never to be empowered to change things, to make things better, to improve government and its policies.
For this and the next generation, the next half century, the US will be undergoing complete disintegration or a very painful reform. I don’t have much upside hope that Tulsi would have a role in guiding the country to a better state of affairs.
Tulsi voted to increase the 2018 defense budget. Very enlightened.
She says “when it come to the war against terrorists, I’m a hawk”.
The war on terror bullshit has been used to perpetuate illegal and and immoral wars. By far, the biggest terrorist is USA.
She is in favor of drone strikes against “terrorists” (wherein civilians get killed).
She participated in the Iraq war as soldier in which millions of Iraqis died. Not too cool.
She endorsed Bernie Sanders who has voted for many wars including the bombing of Serbia.
As I have already said, she voted for funding for Guantanamo.
She spoke at a conference held by an organization that favors West Bank settlements.
She met with Adelson.
On the hand, she is good looking and speaks in a very sexy voice.
Anton; Whilst I share your values and would make the same criticisms as you concerning Tulsi’s voting record, should we perhaps allow for the fact that being relatively young and intelligent that she could be learning and evolving her political outlook? A lot of what she says seems genuine and at least implies that she is in the process of being what we used to call “radicalized.”
Just because she has brushed shoulders with some evil institutions does not, to my mind, prove that she has actually surrendered her integrity to them. Possibly those experiences are awakening her.
Politics is called the art of the possible. In the USA that range of “possible” is freakishly narrow, as I am sure you realize. This can force normally good people to appear to be voting for really bad stuff as if they intend harm, when they (like all of the rest of us) feel very constrained by what is practically possible. People with otherwise good hearts in the “Democratic” field are subject to great reactionary pressure with little opportunity to deviate and survive.
The fact that Tulsi has so openly renounced the evil democratic party does, in my estimation, suggest a well spring of integrity trying to find a healthy outlet.
I see little practical value in attempting to hold progressive politicians to an extremely tight litmus test of what you or I would consider an “ideal” voting record. Realistically the art of the possible – impossible gets in the way to much.
I have no certainties here. So I shall wait and see, like the rest of us.
I think there are things that you can change and things you can’t change and the successful politician chooses his/her fights
Of course the funding for campaigning is top of the list of necessities and the pledge has to be done for success –

USA is a mafia state. We live in a mafia realty. If someone with integrity ever considered running for an important office, he or she would be dissuaded immediately by clandestine threats against family members or other means.
Paul Wellstone, senator from Minnesota, had some integrity and conveniently died in an airplane “accident’ shortly before the Iraq war vote.
The fact that she is in the public eye now, means that she is being used (knowingly) for someone’s nefarious agenda.
Exactly.
Tom Luongo suggests there is something wrong with suspicions about Gabbards intentions.

– Any soldier who has participated in an illegal USA war, under international law, is a war criminal (including Tulsi).
– If Russia does not respond with extreme military force it will mean that they put the interests of Russian capitalists above the interests of the Russian proletariat.
– If the Soviet Union existed today they would have already retaliated. Maybe the head of the Russian Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, should be appointed to lead the war effort.
– Russia must level Kiev to the ground. No more talk.
—
Leninist thinking, where all enemy are “criminals” and all own soldier are “heroes”.
– She participated in the Iraq war as soldier in which millions of Iraqis died.
Geneva Conventions about soldiers
– According to article 43 of the 1949 Conventions, soldiers are employed for the purpose of serving in war; engaging in armed conflict is legitimate, and does not constitute a grave breach.[44] Should a soldier be arrested by belligerent forces, they are to be considered “lawful combatants” and afforded the protectorate status of a prisoner of war (POW) until the cessation of the conflict.[45]
Soldiers are protected as soldiers. Here our Leninists risk being brought to Haag themselves for willful killing of enemy soldiers (a violation of Geneva Conventions)
American voters are guilty of being deceived regularly. Democrat or Republican does not matter as they are both tools. The proper variable is Nationalists versus Globalists. Readers on this Blog who appreciate Putin understand that it’s about a government caring for the interests of their constituents. American political class is all about serving their globalist masters.
Cautiously optimistic about Tulsi.
Most American politicians only care about their pocketbooks. Some are more blatantly evil than others like Lindsey “I never saw a war I didn’t like” Graham.
Gabbard is one of a kind and badly needed at the helm of the US.
She is rather similar in outlook to Sahra Wagenknecht of Germany.
How on earth the German people kept on voting for Angela Merkel as Chancellor for all those years defies logic.
Tulsi is a complicated lady she has a powerful hate for Muslims and a friendly relations hip with the likes of Sheldon Adelson.
Her support for Drone strikes has always been a low point, I guess H Clinton had her sized up during the Democratic Presidential primary.
Progressives view her as a traitoir to their NWO agenda
– Yet the starry-eyed anointment of Gabbard has obscured the more unsavory aspects of her politics – so unsavory, in fact, that White House adviser Steve Bannon has reportedly spoken well of her. From her vigorous opposition to the Iran nuclear deal to her obsession with “radical Islam” to her love for the far-right Indian leader Narendra Modi, Gabbard is far from the progressive hero many assume her to be.
Despite her progressive image today, Gabbard has conservative roots. Her father is Mike Gabbard, a former Honolulu city councilman, state senator, and high profile anti-gay activist who led a campaign against same-sex marriage in Hawaii in the 1990s. He founded the educational nonprofit Stop Promoting Homosexuality and bought himself a show on a local radio station to denounce LGBT people.
But suspicion of Gabbard lingers. Her state Democratic Party LGBT caucus, for instance, openly distrusts her, and backed her Democratic primary opponent in 2016. When questioned why the LGBT caucus, which had actually supported her three years earlier, had turned against her, the chairman cited two things. One was her less-than-stellar answers to a questionnaire the LGBT Caucus had sent. …
I have personally always attributed Mrs. Gabbard’s mistakes and inconsistencies to her personal naivete. For example she still hasn’t come around to the fact that 9/11 was a false flag operation. But I don’t think it is because she is some grifter with negative intentions. I think she is honest but naive. This is a sign that some of that naivety is finally breaking. I think she endorsed Biden and Sanders because she really did honestly believe they were decent people or somehow superior to Trump (at the time). Not that this excuses it.
Just my two cents.
Maybe that’s her job, to take away votes from GOP. But at this point i’am ready to give her the benefit of the doubt. For now i believe in her sincerity. Time will tell.
I must say I find her superficial and insincere manner with that permanent forced smile so nausiating I couldn’t stomach any more than skimming through a few seconds at a time. From what little I saw she seemed to be mouthing the right words, but insincere body language is not a message that inspires confidence, least of all in US politicians – rather the reverse.It tends to reinforce the opposite impression that there is no correlation between what she says and what she would in fact do.
But nevertheless the very fact of (belatedly) ditching the D Party is a good thing. But what took her so long?
Tulsi is not perfect, but lets not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I give her a lot of credit for demolishing Kamala in the 2020 primaries. That made it so much harder to sell Kamala from the get go. Besides Tulsi would have been much better off personally on the inside, feeding at the graft trough, than on the outside. She chose not to do that. To me that speaks volumes about her. Politicians, just like the rest of us, sometimes have to hold their nose and support the better of two bads.
If she runs in 2024 (I too think she will) she will most likely pull votes from the Democrats. THat is from the sane unwoke part of the party. She may also pull in many of the unwoke Trump queasy Republicans who might otherwise vote Democrat.
I just researched international law as it relates to war crimes. International Humanitarian Law regulates conduct related to war. Sources of International Humanitarian Law include international agreements AND customary international law, general principles of nations, and case law. So for you to say there are no laws about war is clearly wrong.
North Korea and Israel just unsign “Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)” and then they can develope nukes. Or they sign nothing in the first place.
US does not accept any US soldier to be put before Haag. If that is legal any state may reject one of their soldiers to be put before Haag.
– Please post your complains to our embassy, and we will have Army to look into it …
Who could imagine there is no law against using nukes?
But that is current world.

Translated with http://www.DeepL.com
Yeah, discussing US internal politics is really a thankless task. It’s silly and time-wasting.
On the one hand I sympathise with Tulsi Gabbard for her qualified principle-stand on some issues. I applaud her courage to finally step out of the the cesspool of corruption that is the Democratic Party. Of course if one wants to be cynical, one can argue that she left because she knew that she was no longer welcome in the party.
But still, the gut to come out and throw the excesses and the stupidy of the party in its face is admirable.
However I believe she is still part of the whole rotten system. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that she has what it takes to speak truth to power. No she is not Cynthia McKinney, by any stretch of the imagination.
I wish her good luck in her new endeavor. I hope her channel is not yanked off the YouTube before she builds it.
I cannot remember a time that a politician slammed the door on their party when they are clearly in the majority. I will say that the mid-terms do not look pretty right now for the Democrats….. There’s that.
Gabbard always seems like an idealist with good intentions even though her philosophy is not fully cooked so to speak.
I think the singular reason that politics is in such a sad shape in the US is money. Without term limits it makes it easier to bribe politicians. Also there is the ability to lobby.
Money is the root of all kinds of evil for sure. The creators of the constitution either left it out for their own grift or it was an oversight that has all but killed a fledgling republic and made it an empire.
I don’t discount a Trump/Gabbard ticket in 2024.
No Young Global Leaders graduate can ever be trusted. I believe they are a sort of sect or cult, more loyal to their cult and to each other than to their own country. The fact that she resigned in May 2022, if she did and if it is even possible to resign from that, may just be because she has realized how toxic this was to her image. I also believe she publicly hangs on to the official version of 9/11, i.e. that it was done by a bunch of incompetent Muslim fundamentalists, although she must know better. So she is willing to deceive the American people on such an important issue. And she is still an enthusiastic member of the U.S. military, which is not about “defending America” or American territory (it would be nice if it was). She is an interesting actor, worth listening to, but I wouldn’t trust her either.
Tulsi Gabbard was 16 when she joined this Hare Krisna organization:
“Science of Identity’
The Cult Education Institute’s forum on Chris Butler began back in 2004 and is still going strong. It has lasted long enough to reach nearly 500 pages, containing thousands of lengthy posts intended to shed light on Butler and the inner workings of his group, called the Science of Identity Foundation.
The group formed in the early 1970s, and its leaders later sought to turn the organization into a political force in Hawaii by fielding a number of candidates for key political offices over the years. By and large, the candidates pushed for a brand of social reform that seemed to mimic Butler’s teachings, which stressed environmentalism, vegetarianism, and opposition to homosexuality and “illicit” sex.
And they had some successes: former state Sen. Rick Reed; former Maui County Council Member Wayne Nishiki; Mike Gabbard, who came back from his loss to Case to win a state Senate seat; and Carol Gabbard, who was elected to the Hawaii Board of Education.
It’s no wonder that longtime observers see Tulsi Gabbard’s steady climb from the Honolulu City Council to Congress as somehow connected to Butler.
Chris Butler, aka Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa, formed a Krishna community in Hawaii in the 1970s.
– No Young Global Leaders graduate can ever be trusted.
How many will trust “kjell108” or “ChimalCris62”.? None of course –> No “kjell108” or “ChimalCris62” can ever be trusted.
We need something more than some anonymous nicnames making all type of claims of knowing the truth
The key issue with Gabbard is she uses her notoriety to make an unmistakable warning about nuclear WWIII to Americans. Joe Rogan got 2 million views of the interview. This is not a partisan issue – Trump is doing exactly the same. She was on Fox also with the same direct in-your-face warning.
British press are having conniptions, especially former Conservative Party MP, stringer, Louise Mensch, who recently fingered Canadian intrepid Donbass reporter Eva Bartlett for liquidation, ala Peacemaker.
Tulsi Gabbard has for sure hit the Colonel Blimp’s (British Liberal Imperialists) hard.
Gabbard is a recipient of the Combat Medical Badge and the Meritorious Service Medal.[68] On October 12, 2015, she was promoted from the rank of captain to major at a ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.[69][70] She continued to serve as a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard until her transfer to the 351st Civil Affairs Command, a California-based United States Army Reserve unit assigned to the United States Army Civil Affairs and >>>> Psychological Operations Command, in June 2020 <<<<
Andrei My Brother,
I don’t pay attention to words anymore. I pay attention to actions. In other words you are right to wait and see as far as Tulsi is concerned and her seriousness as to breaking from the cabal that currently holds power in DC. With that said I think Tulsi would be better served joining the Republican Party because there is much more ideological and intellectual freedom in the Republican Party these days than in the past when the Neocons had the GOP with an iron fist (the W. Bush era).
I have some deep misgivings about the Republican Party (I am a registered Republican). Traditionally they are the Neoliberal party of big business and global corporations where I am an economic nationalist, a pro labor, pro union populist. Also the Republican Party officials seem to trip over each other to lick Israeli boots (to be fair both parties shamelessly pander to the Israeli lobby at the detriment of true American interests).
My reason for remaining a Republican and voting Republican is simple. I saw the anarchy the Democrats unleashed in American cities during the George Floyd riots. Here in California (a Democrat stronghold) violent criminals are practically free to roam the streets. We’ve had four innocent (meaning not involved in crime) shot this week in the course of robberies. Two died including a 60 year old Grandpa. We have Soros backed Democrat District Attorneys setting violent criminals free, unwilling to prosecute on many cases. At least the Republicans are generally for law and order.
Another reason I vote Republican is because the Democrats have become the party of LGBTQ and Gender/Trans Ideology as well as radical feminism, the supremacy of minorities over the majority and abortion on demand. Now the Republicans have been kind of milk toast in their opposition to these things but obviously I cannot support a party which holds these ideas as core tenets of their beliefs.
At least with the Republicans there is some belief still in the Constitutional Rule of Law and the Bill of Rights, especially freedom of speech and the right to keep and bear arms.
I like Tulsi a lot. She was my favorite Democrat since James Traficant. It will be interesting to see where she goes from here.
She has credentials that few other politicians have. My understanding is she served as both enlisted and as an officer. In the navy we called those folks mustangers. They were afforded an unprecedented degree of respect. She received medals for combat in both capacities.
It would be interesting to know how many other politicians in the US hold those qualifications. There may be a few men, I would bet there are no women, nor have there ever been. Here is the opening to cast aspirations as to her credentials. How many Monicas will step forward?
The meetings with the leader of Syria showed an independence sorely lacking in our political lackeys. Surely a way to calibrate one’s sense of trust in Intelligence reports. Gather your own.
However, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt in today’s world certainly flies in the face of the cynicism we are trained to have. Especially towards people we are led to believe are women.
I find it particularly troubling when religious folks seem to allude to a married womans ability to please them sexually. This isn’t even classy, never mind pious.
As to dismissing her for political inclusion based on any group she may have belonged to, our efforts at that just speak to our own allowing of double standards. Skull and bones?
Generally speaking, some recorded perversity seems to be a prerequisite to political vetting. How can our real leaders command and control the lackeys without some dirt on those we are allowed to elect. I know, cynical. It’s all a show until our actual emperors and the system that maintains them is finally ended.
I believe Mrs. Tulsi Gabbard has a better sense of what we are up against than most. Without combat experience I am in no position to judge, so she has what most politicians don’t get from me, the benefit of the doubt.
My advice to her, know as much as she can about Psychopaths. Praying she isn’t one herself.
” Generally speaking, some recorded perversity seems to be a prerequisite to political vetting. How can our real leaders command and control the lackeys without some dirt on those we are allowed to elect. I know, cynical. It’s all a show until our actual emperors and the system that maintains them is finally ended. ”
I think this is realism, not cynicism. I used to think it was a paranoid thought, but I suspect political leadership material is monitored and nursed from an early age. To have a saint reach a position of power is dangerous.
It also explains the quality of the current stock of leadership around in the western world.
The establishment knows things are bad, like 14 years ago. So they will want to put some feel-good puppet in power to mollify the masses, as they did with O-bomber.
No one is totally clean except GOD.
The important thing is repentance
Tulsi said on her recent Joe Rogan appearance from a few days ago that a 3rd party is not feasible because of the way the election system is set up in America. That has been known for a long time. The reasons for that were written about back in the 1950’s-’60s–its called “Duverger’s law.” You can find a lot online about the theory which is widely accepted. There is a short video explaining it called “Duverger’s Law and the Two-Party System Explained”
Tulsi seems sympathic and have talked sense in the past, I wish her the best of luck.
The system is however broken beyond repair, maybe she can help make a third way …
I think the MAGA- and the Occupy Wallstreet crowds needs to unite. It will be hard.
Maybe she can team up with Trump for an alternative ?
Anyways, Democrats are a sinking ship … leaving it could be as career move … I her seat up for election ?
As a progressive Indian , I cant fathom why people endorse Tulsi Gabbard. Her endorsement of Narendra Modi is enough to condemn her. There are huge state terror activities underway now in India. India’s Parliament is the only one in the world to have a terror-accused as a member. She is Pragya Thakur , an accused in the Malegaon terror attacks of 2006 and 2008. (As usual in India , the trial is in coma and effectively stalled. Meanwhile she is out on bail and has got elected to Parliament on the ticket of the ruling BJP , Modi’s party. Evidence against Pragya is very material, her motorcycle having been used to carry explosives for the attack.)
If she’s a puppet of the system, she’s the most dysfunctional puppet I’ve ever seen. Any secret cabal would never have her as member. She can’t muster any real organized support, but she is admired for her many candid observations on the Empire of Lies. She’s a loose cannon, one minute endorsing Biden, the next minute calling him a murderer. After that flip flop, who can trust her judgement on anything? No one with any real insight or character would have backed Biden knowing him for what he is and believing in the opposite of everything he represents. Obviously, she endorsed him to get an appointment probably promised to her by Obama that never came through and now she’s on a rampage to burn the White House down. It’s all too weird,
I think she’s a spoiler by nature because nothing is ever good enough because of the high opinion she has for self and no one else.
Is Tulsi Gabbard a Young Global Leader graduate? It’s an important point, because that program looks like a sort of secret society which will basically determine the actions of its members. And just looking at awful YGL creatures like Macron or Merkel or Blair or Rutte makes you want to run away as fast as you can from all these people. Now, there’s always the theoretical possibility that a member breaks free from the cult, and Tulsi Gabbard, from her voluntary military service indicating she’s a real patriot, is certainly a candidate for such a “jailbreak” if it is at all possible.
Regardless, what’s the upside to Tulsi Gabbard? She’s obviously a mainstream politician with mainstream views, hence her support for Bernie Sanders in 2020, and it’s just the wild character of what the Democratic Party has become that makes her look radical. Now, maybe if you want to have a future in American politics you have no option other than to be mainstream (as Trump is, whatever people may think: it’s just that in his case the packaging was, er, innovative, and again it’s the sheer craziness of the Democrats, and also of the Republicans on the economy side, that made him sound radical by stating simple facts like: we should control our borders; criminals are bad and should be neutralized; and it was a bad idea to outsource our whole industry to Mexico and then China; etc.), and maybe that’s why she toes the line on, for example, 9/11. I’m not sure what she has said on Covid-19 and the shots, but I’m sure it’s quite “moderate” too. Anyway, the political situation in America today seems to be so bad (also with regard to foreign policy) that even a mainstream politician may do a great deal of good by just bringing back some basic sanity to the political discourse and to government policies.
Her video is slick. You have to admire the professionalism. It looks like a (presidential) campaign clip, especially the visual effects at the end. Maybe that’s because it is. In any case, she’s not fooling around. This is a woman with a plan. I suppose the plan is to launch a new party with disaffected Democrats, she practically said so. Again, the Democratic Party is so far out today, so corrupt, so crazy, that she may have a chance to succeed with that. I can’t believe white Democratic voters over 50 (just to give a number and to mention a specific demographic) or the many members of minorities who are not interested in confrontation, but just want civil peace, can be happy with the current course of their party. The new party might be called, simply, the “New Democratic Party”. I can see people like RFK Jr. joining in a leading role to help in the creation of a party that might look somewhat like the Democratic Party JFK and RFK Sr. led in the sixties (he’s already done his job on vaccines, on Covid, on Fauci and Gates). I can imagine that someone like Steve Kirsch might be interested too to do some fundraising for such a new party. I’m not sure how the American political system works, but there seem to be very high barriers to entry for a new party that would want to compete in national politics and maybe many people may be discouraged to even try because they believe such a new party wouldn’t be able to break through or they hope to be able to take back the Democratic Party some time in the future (after the next civil war and Armageddon). Maybe now is the best time, because the Democratic Party has really “made itself impossible” (to borrow a German phrase), and has become so dangerous with all those crazy neocon chicken hawks nested in high government offices.
Again, no great radicality to expect from Tulsi Gabbard but it’s not necessary. Just bringing us all back from the nuclear brink would fully justify her existence. Maybe stop the crazy confrontation with Russia? Maybe enter new treaties on nuclear arms control (including a remplacement for the one that peace-loving Trump cancelled)? She sounds real when she expresses her concern about the risk of nuclear war, as she did repeatedly during her presidential campaign.
Her points in her video may sound “conservative”, but they’re really, most of them, just plain common sense. For God’s sake, you don’t have to be a conservative to find the sexual mutilation of children hateful, to find the conscious and systematic stirring-up of racial resentment and conflict a bad idea, to find it absurd that a man can simply declare himself a woman and thereby enjoy all the attendant rights, or to disagree with letting the criminals the police catch loose so they can keep robbing, raping and killing. You just have to be sane, which, presumably, most current Democratic voters are.
Unfortunately, there must also be many millions who find current Democratic policies congenial: for example the many members of minorities who like to hear that they’re now on top, or should be; the naive young white students who think it’s a good idea to kneel down in front of their minority colleagues; the government employees and all sorts of other people who live from toeing the line whatever that line is; or simply the people who love to hate “the Right”. Still, I’m sure a New Democratic Party would be able to garner many millions of votes among traditional Democratic Party voters. The question is whether they would be enough, or whether it is not too late before the Neocons drag us all down the precipice of general (nuclear) war. Can America save itself? And by so doing also allow Europe (in particular) to save itself? In any case, better try than just lie down and await death. Tulsi Gabbard is not the solution, and her project does not at all dispense the people from their own independent action at least at the local level, but in the political arena she may be the best option there is now. Unless I have missed something, nobody else among the prominent members of the Democratic Party has showed up to do what she is trying to do. She does seem to have the capacity, the charisma and the will. And this is not a matter of interest only to Americans, certainly, because this “satanic” nonsense is metastatizing in Europe from its source in the United States, and Europe would be at the forefront of any nuclear exchange, it would get the goodies first. Not mentioned here: the climate change & decarbonation stuff. The Great Reset. There’s also the rather significant point of ending the biological war unleashed on humanity with Covid and the toxic injections (a war that is set to continue, with new biological weapons planned for release, as indicated by Dr. Francis Boyle on the Alex Jones Show in early October). Any hope to put an end to all of this with a New Democratic Party? I don’t have a clue. Without which, of course, we would nearly be back at Square One. But at least, without a nuclear exchange with Russia, we’d all still be alive to do something about that. Hopefully there’s still time. Time to “take back America” from the brink of the precipice of insanity and destruction and, in so doing, help save humanity for the time being, too. Which would be a good thing.
Tulsi – a great candidate to perhaps be leader of the (new) Democratic Party one day after the current lot have been removed ?
Great timing this for the Mid Term elections and given she has a core 5% following plus another 10% of Dems it will cause problems for the devils in charge.
Even by the standards of the average Murican politico, the slithery-yet-sexy Gabbard’s political “principles” have already proven to be quite malleable. She senses weakness in the Dems’ coalition of the fringes so she’s jumping ship now, so as to not look totally like a bandwagoneer in any future Republican race.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, put no hope in Tulsi, she’s essentially useless.
This is small-p politics. On the all-important subject of detente with Russia, and the risk of nuclear war, I believe she is real (she knows first-hand what war is, unlike those ghastly neocons, which automatically gives seriousness to a person), and she might make a difference as president. Remember JFK. He may have a rich kid, he did start the Vietnam war, and all that, but he was also the one who rejected the military chiefs’ very real project to raze Russia to the ground in exchange for, well, maybe 20 million American dead, if I’m well informed and remember well. So, even a politician with great limitations may make a difference, in a specific extreme situation.
1. She’ll never be president, probably not even ever be a candidate.
2. The next presidential election is in 2024, and the president-elect isn’t sworn in until January 2025. Do you really think “detente with Russia” will still be an issue? Will the Russians allow it to be?
3. Hey, guess what, there are also a lot more issues involved than “detente with Russia”, and being good on ONE issue means being useless on a myriad of others (exactly like you pointed out in your JFK example, which is not correct, BTW). I realize this a Russo-centric blog, but there’s a lot of other things that need attention for a US president as well (like how to prevent full-blown civil war).
3. Yes, sure, there are a lot more issues than “detente with Russia”, but there is a hierarchy in the urgency of problems. The detente with Russia is so urgently needed because of the risk of nuclear war. If there IS nuclear war, all the other issues will become instantly irrelevant.
As for JFK, I believe he was seriously thinking about ending the war in Vietnam when he was assassinated. I believe the war started during his presidency, but I admit I’m unaware of exactly how it happened.
2. As you say, maybe it will be too late by January 2025. But who knows. Time goes fast.
My main point is that, up to this point, she’s been the only prominent Democrat to make a move and so she’s the only option right now on that side of the political spectrum. Admittedly, there are many many factors against her making a real impact and she can only make an impact if she is joined by other prominent Democrats. But better a sliver of hope than none.
The Republican side is another matter: Trump, or another option. Maybe there’s an option to avoid the nuclear brinkmanship with a Republican president too.
Russia plays a role here because it’s the other big nuclear power, not because this is Russo-centric blog.
Something is definitely happening within the US Democratic Party.
Here in LA we are seeing some deep internecine wars at the City Council. A Mexican Councilwoman, and two others, are being pushed to resign for calling the behavior of a kid out of control.. a monkey.
As it turns out, that kid was black kid, so now you got black and white liberal activists calling for her resignation.
Then, the race for the Mayoral office, something that Karen Bass should have sown up seems to be a toss up with businessman Caruso.
I doubt the council woman will resign, there was nothing racist about her remarks, and in any event her supporters and voters in the East LA barrios think she did nothing wrong… who cares about the woke liberals and the BLM activists?
IMHO, the US Democrats are now too beholden to the Far Far Far Left part of the party and the NeoLiberals and Deep State. They have moved the party way too far to the Left and many seem not to be too happy with it.
So, now we see very, VERY nasty battles in the open.
Tulsi.. hmm… interesting. If Trump run, Tulsi will move to MAGA, she’s too smart a cookie and hitching her horse to the Woke Far Far Left is harakiri.. if the Woke win, we’ll have a civil war, if the Woke lose, the Dems are gone as a party. Either way, the likes of Tulsi are out and she’s too smart and young not to see that.
Remember, in Hawai’i you have to be a Democrat,,, whether moderate or woke doesn’t matter. The place has been taken over.
