Such a good likeness of USA Inc during my lifetime, well done.

Off course he will have to seek other employment. He is part of the Obama staff in the State Department, and will hopefully be replaced by a person with a more realistic and professional attitude.
I do not know really what was worse, the arrogance of Pski or Hart or this babbling idiot.
I made this depiction today, and are relieved that I (hopefully) will not have to listen to him again ever after the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Remember he has been of the inadvanced forefront of a continuous string of advocates of a politic of Chaos to keep the reality of life hidden or obscured.
Last year I made a depiction, where the “Devil” was obvious, and in the details as well.
Kirby is a part of the Obama Administration and the tenure for this administration officially ends on January 20, 2017 when Trump is sworn in as president. Kirby’s departure could therefore be seen as imminent.
The headline is a bit misleading because it gives the impression that Kirby has quit or has been reassigned or fired.
“Last week, the spokesman for the US State Department, John Kirby, delivered a uncharacteristically threatening message to Moscow which suggested that the US maintains connections with terrorist organizations. Here’s what he said:
“Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even aircraft.” Kirby added that if the war in Syria continues “more Russian lives will be lost, more Russian aircraft will be shot down.”
Naturally, Moscow was taken aback by Kirby’s frankness, particularly his tacit admission that Washington somehow controls the activities of the terrorists they claim to be fighting. That was the real stunner, and it didn’t pass unnoticed, in fact, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov delivered a broadsides just hours after Kirby’s press confab. He said:
“We cannot interpret this as anything else but de facto support for terrorism. These poorly veiled invitations to use terrorism as a weapon against Russia shows the political depths the current US administration has stooped to in its approach to the Middle East and Syria.”
Ryabkov’s statement was followed by Russian FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova who took a more reflective view saying:
“And those [acts of terrorism] will be perpetrated by ‘moderate’ [Syrian opposition groups]?…Just the ones that Washington has been unable to separate from Al-Nusra for as long as six months?”
“[What about] Terrorist attacks in France, America and other countries; the beheadings of people of all nationalities by Islamic State militants in Syria – is this all kind of a different paradigm? Perhaps another ‘parallel reality?”
In other words, Zakharova wants Kirby to clarify the extent to which Washington controls these terrorist groups. Is the State Department’s power limited to Syria or can they claim responsibility for other seemingly random acts of violence? It would be nice to know, wouldn’t it?
Zakharova also added this bombshell that suggests the cat is out of the bag:
“Don’t you think that such ventriloquism about ‘body bags,’ ‘terrorist attacks in Russian cities’ and ‘loss of aircraft,’ sounds more like a ‘get ’em’ command, rather than a diplomatic comment?”
It’s a fair question, don’t you think? Is Washington acting as a “ventriloquist”, that is, a performer that controls the movements and voice of a dummy? Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, seems to think so. Check out this clip from AMN News:
“According to Konashenkov, US Department of State spokesman John Kirby’s statement is tantamount to recognition the Syrian opposition is in fact a US-controlled international terrorist alliance.
“Kirby, I am certain, is well aware of the after-effects of his statement. His words are the most frank confession by the US side so far the whole ‘opposition’ ostensibly fighting a civil war in Syria is a US-controlled international terrorist alliance,” Konashenkov said.
“What makes Kirby’s statement particularly shocking is that the scale of direct US influence on terrorists’ activity is global. That it reaches as far as Russia. The mask comes off, doesn’t it, sirs?”
(“Russia warns US over recent threats”, AMN)
(This same analysis was published in western media, too, like the UK Telegraph.)
A “US-controlled international terrorist alliance”?? Is that what we’re talking about?
Kirby’s comments appear to indicate that that is precisely the case. But why would Kirby make such a careless and self-incriminating statement that many believe to be a smoking gun? And, why hasn’t he provided a follow-up explanation, clarification, correction or retraction ? Why?
Hubris, that’s why. The US foreign policy establishment is so secure in its unassailable political position, they simply don’t care what the little people think anymore. It just doesn’t matter to them. What the power elite care about is making sure that Putin “gets the message”, that he knows he’ll pay a hefty price if he doesn’t shape up and fall in line. That’s what they really care about and that’s why Kirby hasn’t backed off his damning statement.
But what about the rest of us? How should we regard the war on terror in light of Kirby’s surprising admission?
We need to realize that our approach to terrorism is all wrong. Terrorism cannot be defeated by nipping at the edges or by killing individual agents or groups. That hasn’t worked and that won’t work. The cancer has to be eradicated at its source which — in all probability– means either dismantling or reigning in the CIA and bringing its deep-state paymasters to justice. That is how one wins the war on terror.”
Has there been a u.s. sd (initially wrote std) spokescritter who wasn’t a pos in the last few decades? I can’t think of any, all to my recollection were lying scum.
“When asked if he would pardon Edward Snowden, Obama said, “I can’t pardon somebody who hasn’t gone before a court and presented themselves, so that’s not something that I would comment on at this point.”
A lie. Not really any different from this right wing israeli quisling’s long history of lying.
Obama Could Pardon Snowden, but Won’t; New CIA Pick Says to Execute Him
“However, there are apparently no legislative restrictions on a presidential pardon. According to a Supreme Court ruling from 1886, “The power of pardon conferred by the Constitution upon the President is unlimited except in cases of impeachment. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment. The power is not subject to legislative control.”
As P.S. Ruckman, editor of the Pardon Power blog, put it, “I just think what he may have better said is: ‘I prefer that he present himself to a court and then we’ll talk turkey.’ But technically in terms of the Constitution, there are no restrictions at all.”
In an interview with C-SPAN earlier in the year, Pompeo said, “He should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think that the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence for having put friends of mine, friends of yours, in the military today, at enormous risk because of the information he stole and then released to foreign powers.”
“The source specifically hailed both Rep. Mike Pompeo, the incoming CIA chief, and new national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn as supporters of Israeli policy, according to Army Radio.
Pompeo has been one of the leading critics of last year’s deal with Iran that traded sanctions relief for a nuclear rollback, aligning him with much of the centrist and right-wing pro-Israel communities. He is a reliable backer of Israel and last November had high praise for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after they met on an Israel tour.
Pompeo tweeted on Thursday: “I look forward to rolling back this disastrous deal with the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.” Pompeo had warned last year that the agreement is “empowering an Iranian regime that is intent on destroying America.”
Here is a quisling of a hostile foreign power subverting the interests of his own country in order to bolster the interests of that hostile foreign power actually calling for the state murder of a person who put his life on the line to expose the corruption that zio-scum such as pompous wallow in. That hostile foreign power being, as always, israel. Any guesses what the thing thought of pollard? Actually, hostile occupying foreign power is the better way to put it.
Kirby is a pathetic clown and his job is to repeat really stupid lies, and he seems to do that willingly without shame.
But what good does this picture do? It is not funny, it is not thought provoking, it is just gross and sends out very low vibrations.
Over the last year there has been an increase in posts and articles on Saker’s blog that is not so much about military analysis, and I personally do not think that that is an improvement, but almost all posts have been either educational, thought provoking, funny or just entertaining. But what is this (in my opinion horrible and, artistically, low quality) picture doing here?
“Kirby is a pathetic clown and his job is to repeat really stupid lies, and he seems to do that willingly without shame.”
Agree on that one as well.
“But what good does this picture do? It is not funny, it is not thought provoking, it is just gross and sends out very low vibrations.”
Eye of the beholder and context.
I made this depiction and posted it elsewhere with this remark
“I haven’t really bothered about this guy until now.
However, after his outburst against RT recently I realised that as a mouthpiece and a face (however stupid, incompetent etc. he is), he actually is qualified to be presented as one of the many faces of Evil.”
“Over the last year there has been an increase in posts and articles on Saker’s blog that is not so much about military analysis, and I personally do not think that that is an improvement,”
My perception and understanding of this blog is not limited to military analysis (although they are important as part of the Geo-Political puzzle, and overall perception of the state of humanity right now as well as in a historical perspective).
” But what is this (in my opinion horrible and, artistically, low quality) picture doing here?”
Ask The Saker. He posted it here.
Let me ask you then. What would you suggest would be an appropriate angle in trying to depict either persons or event (or a combination of both) in an actual context?
Here is the question I thought about for a long time — regardless of the outcome of the recent US elections (no, there is no change because the US cannot live without pillaging others).
Before it, however, let me hypothesize as follows:
This situation reminds me of the time after Dubya won the elections back in 2000, when all the neocons came out of the woodwork in all their murderous conquest zeal.
The results are well known to all; occupation of Iraq & Afghanistan. Obama just continued with the plan.
My conjecture is that Putin was facing a mafia-style dilemma coming from the west:
1) To c/overtly Be forced to fight against the oncoming US invasion of Iraq like Syria today.
He was offered a deal not to interfere with the war/s in exchange for high-oil prices.
Given the state of Russia at the time, esp. of its military, he opted for #2.
Here is the question:
Could he be offered the same kind of deal now with the zionazis and their oncoming attack on Iran (Trump promised it in his campaign) in exchange for higher oil prices, which are, clearly, controlled by the zionazi scum?
If so, what is going to be his answer? Whether to buy more time for Russia and allow US on its borders, or to fight back ‘cause there is no more space to retreat?
Back in 2012 I said on this blog that the Syria was the new Stalingrad for Russia. I think I was right.
Rumour has it sarkozy is going to start a lobby firm to promote evil dwarven issues in the eu. It has also been said he will hire the evil antihobbit rasmussen who will cover northern Europe lobbying activities for the lobby firm.
Actually it would have been a lot more painful to witness a pentagon spokesperson with skills that compares to Maria Zakahrova. Kirby the clown or Kermit the frog. He is a joke and everybody can see it. He has been a great display of bancrupt foreign policy. Give the man a medal.

Is he going anywhere? Havent heard anything about his retirement.
I don’t understand this, has he been fired or what?
Off course he will have to seek other employment. He is part of the Obama staff in the State Department, and will hopefully be replaced by a person with a more realistic and professional attitude.
