State: Foreign leaders fear 'more than one' presidential candidate
Washington Examiner ^ | March 28, 2016 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 03/29/2016 8:35:13 AM PDT by kevcol

"I think there is a wide swath of views that have been expressed on the campaign trail from more than one candidate that has caused concern among many foreign leaders," spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

Kirby didn't name names, but his comments came a day after Secretary of State John Kerry said the 2016 race is an "embarrassment" for the United States, which was widely seen as a comment on Trump's campaign. Kerry said "every leader I meet" is shocked about the race, and said the rhetoric being used is an "embarrassment to our country."

Incompetence fears, and is embarrassed, by impending accountability.

In reality, John Kerry is embarrassed by America.

I fear the ‘Won’ that foreign leaders want.....as they have, in the past, obviously wanted the candidate that will subjugate our interests to their own interests.

Lurch 'said the rhetoric being used is an "embarrassment to our country."'

Now what rhetoric do you suppose he means? Enforcing our immigration laws for a change?

The fact that the name John Kerry and the office Secretary of State are used in the same sentence is an embarrassment to our country. After first Hillary and now Horse-face, the current presidential primary rhetoric is nothing.

What foreign leaders would these be?

Do you mean the European ‘leaders’ who are facing economic collapse of the EU while also losing control of their own societies because they followed the same literally stupid pseudo-intellectualism that passes for education in too many current day universities?

Do you mean the ‘leadership’ of Mexico that, despite having highly intelligent and creative citizens, miles of coastline, and for awhile at least - large oil reserves, still can’t manage to create enough economic opportunity within their own borders such that their own citizens don’t have to look elsewhere, sometimes dying in the process?

Do you mean the ‘leadership’ of China who have a vested interest in the US choosing someone they can manipulate?

Who exactly do you mean?

From the beginning of his political career, Kerry has been an "embarrassment" to those who understand the principles and ideas of liberty which underlie its Constituton.

Note his declaration from a February, 1970, article in "The Crimson by Samuel Goldhaber, who interviewed Kerry as he was considering his first campaign for national public office:

"He supports a volunteer Army, 'if and only if we can create the controls for it. You're going to have to prepare for the possibility of a national emergency, however.' Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. 'I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.'

"On other issues, Kerry wants 'to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care.'"


Decades of association with "progressive" ideology and years of re-election to public office seem only to have reinforced his youthful misunderstanding of the Constitution's underlying ideas.

The only thing foreign leaders fear about Hillary Clinton is that a rival paid her more.

They fear the lack of a president they can bully, bribe, or is otherwise serving their interests instead of that of the US.

US out of the UN now! The UN needs to be kicked out of the US. They need to be made to set-up shop in a different turd world country every 4-8 years, after all that is where the feel it is better.

This is an EXCELLENT analysis of why Trump is so hated and feared by the oligarchs. Sadly, because the situation we face is so dire and complex, Mr. Hultberg’s essay is probably longer than the ability of many short attention span Americans will tolerate.  For them, I’ve extracted below what struck me as the three “take away” paragraphs. 

Please read the entire piece and share it as widely as possible!  As I’ve commented before, this is almost certainly our  LAST CHANCE to turn the corner back toward something akin to that which the Founders ATTEMPTED to leave us.

“Throughout his adult life Trump has watched as most of the business and political leaders he dealt with have sold their souls to the World Government vision of oligarchs like George Soros. He has observed how our slimy Demopublican politicians and bankers have sold out the interests of the American people via trade deals that sixth-graders would realize are toxic for jobs and prosperity if they were explained at that level of schooling.”
 
“This has horrified Trump, this grotesque sellout of the America he loves, the America that gave him so much freedom, so much opportunity. Being the bodacious man of action that he is, he could not sit by and watch elites like George Soros, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Lloyd Blankfein, and Robert Rubin push for tax and trade policies that undercut the productive might of America in submission to a globalist, anti-nation-state vision for the world.”

“Their goal has been to make the world into a giant social welfare state akin to Sweden, but first in sections on a regional basis – like Orwell’s three regional governments of Oceania, Eurasia and East Asia. All the important decisions of governance will be mandated from world institutions such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, etc. And eventually an organized central governing body, complete with military and police drawn from all nations, will evolve into transcendent power. In essence it will be a world-wide form of Mussolini’s economic fascism.”

There must be a reason for that, I just can't imagine what it is.

So has Retired Admiral John Kirby, the State Dept “mouthpiece!” Make me president for a day and I’d revoke his retirement! No wonder our military is in such disarray!
