“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
It's the stop-the-comic-book-villain mentality that seems to be a prerequisite for CIA directors. Kill one guy and his followers and fans and acolytes all crumple like the droids at Naboo in Star Wars the Phantom Menace.
You know, like Juan Peron chilled out when Benito Mussolini got the lamppost.
Heh. I have had a Nord VPN subscription for a long time but I only use it to bypass things like YouRube blocks on international content, getting pirated (teehee) movies on my smart TV, and of course coordinating my henchmen and their nefarious activities around the world.
"In October 2011, Beckel nearly choked to death on a piece of shrimp at a Fox News reception, but was saved by Fox News chief Roger Ailes and The Five co-host Eric Bolling."
He was like a less nauseating version of Dick Morris without the desperate right wing grifting. Beckel wasn't happy with Democrats, but he stayed in the party.
Dick Morris needed a paycheck after his post-Lewinsky "I know all the dirt on the Clintons" run at NewsMax. I think he wound up shilling for UKIP before trying the Paul Manafort style consulting thing in Africa. His next gig might be slinging nachos at an NFL game.
Beckel just overplayed his drunk former Democratic Party credentials too long until his inner segregationist popped off at one of the little people who turned out to not be so little.
Morris has aged a lot and not in a good way. I think his parrot-imitating lips have found their way around the spigot of a vat of distilled damnation once too often.
So it's a shell game to find the most politically convenient way to eliminate Assange.
ReplyDeleteThey can kill him, but they can't eat him.
They can kill him but they can't eat him.
ReplyDeleteSo it must be for "sport".
ReplyDeleteExactly. Assange didn't hack the CIA. Somebody in house planted info allegedly from the CIA at WikiLeaks. Change my mind.
ReplyDeleteI still really don't see what's to be gained by actually killing him. They'd then have to cover it up and thus attract even more attention.
ReplyDeleteBetter then to keep him in a box the size of my bathroom, where he'll die of exhaustion.
State sponsored torture and murder, no matter how you look at it...
Classic graymail tactic.
ReplyDelete"Can the prosecution provide the classified sources and methods of proving this material came from the CIA? No?"
Gert,

ReplyDeletePoints noted, TC.
ReplyDeleteBob Beckel has to be the Dumbest Useful Idiot in Mordor, a coveted title. Former adviser to the Chief Rapist (check).
Got yer VPN yet? I have.
Heh. I have had a Nord VPN subscription for a long time but I only use it to bypass things like YouRube blocks on international content, getting pirated (teehee) movies on my smart TV, and of course coordinating my henchmen and their nefarious activities around the world.
ReplyDeleteWhat did Drunk Bob do this time?
If you watch the video carefully then the first 30 s or so is a small compilation of Beckel's 'String him up!' idiocy.
ReplyDeleteMine is Nord VPN too. Seems to be the best value for money, all around.
ReplyDelete"In October 2011, Beckel nearly choked to death on a piece of shrimp at a Fox News reception, but was saved by Fox News chief Roger Ailes and The Five co-host Eric Bolling."
ReplyDeleteWho wants that on their gravestone?
Ah, I didn't recognize Beckel's voice. He's been pretty much banned from TV appearances since he went full Klansman on a black Fox employee.
ReplyDeleteHe was like a less nauseating version of Dick Morris without the desperate right wing grifting. Beckel wasn't happy with Democrats, but he stayed in the party.
ReplyDeleteI missed that bit about Beckel. Utoob will be my friend today.
ReplyDeleteMorris? Well, with alcy Bob and Dicky 'informing' the US public on MorPol it can be no surprise they end up a liiittle cornfused...
With Morris they'd really scraped through the barrel.
Bob: 'They send us cheap toys and they all have lead in them!' (then basically puts two fingers up to the Chinese)
ReplyDeleteClassy!
