U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry became the highest-ranking American official to visit Antarctica on Friday when he landed for a two-day trip during which he'll hear from scientists about the impact of climate change on the frozen continent.

Kerry left from New Zealand after being held up for about a day by bad weather. Kerry and his entourage left the Christchurch airport at 6 a.m. aboard a C-17 Globemaster military cargo plane and landed in Antarctica about 11 a.m.

The article fails to state that Kerry served in Viet Nam.

I hope he never “takes off” again. What a wealthy-by-wife loser and preening traitor.

His photo album keeps growing:
"Everyone made fun of me for that photo of me on my bicycle."


"So I showed them I could ride with the big boys. Here I am at the start of a European bicycle event."


"Here I am after that event where I won 4 medals... all purple hearts."

Kerry is showing his ignorance of modern Asian cultures.

He used that gesture in China, where it is considered old-fashioned and extremely weird in business contexts. A simple handshake would have sufficed, but Kerry had to show his ignorance, embarrass his country, and insult his hosts, all so that he could pretend that he was "enlightened" about Asia. Whata dork!

In Thailand, the gesture is meant as a courteous greeting in some situations. Totally inappropriate for a diplomat in this context.

I heard the Antarctic circle trip was on his bucket list and he just wanted us to have to pay for it.

I was not aware of the blunder of his specific gestures in Asian cultural.

But I’d figure that in any culture, when beautiful young woman dancers are performing, a spastic old man who jumped up to join them would be considered a royal ass.

John Kerry demonstrates his vast knowledge of Antarctican culture by dressing up in traditional garb. The local diplomats are not impressed.

LOL

Kerry would be considered an ass, even if he hadn't done this.

Can't wait till people of his ilk are out of office, instead of traipsing around the world embarrassing the U.S. and insulting our hosts.

Significance? Weirdorama!!!!! John Kerry will also be in UAE on 15th and Morroco on 16th? Dropping off or picking up? February 18, 2016 Russia’s Top Religious Leader Performs “Ancient Ritual” In Antarctica Over Saudi Arabia’s Mysterious “Ark of Gabriel” By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers In what we can only conclude is one of the most bizarre reports ever circulated in the Kremlin, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reporting today that the global leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, arrived in Antarctica earlier today where he joined up with the vast Federation naval armada transporting from Saudi Arabia the mysterious “Ark of Gabriel”, entrusted to Russia’s care by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and performed an “ancient ritual” over it read from a “secret text” given to him by Pope Francis just days prior in Cuba when these leaders of Christianities two top sects met for the first time in nearly 1,000 years.      Russian Orthodox Church Leader Patriarch Kirill Arrives In Antarctica 18 February 2016   According to this MoD report, and which we had previously reported on in our 6 December 2015 report Russia Begins Transport Of Saudi Arabia’s Mysterious “Ark of Gabriel” To Antarctica, the mysterious “Ark of Gabriel” was first discovered in Mecca on 12 September 2015 by a construction crew tunneling under the Masjid al-Haram Mosque (Grand Mosque) and who, when attempting to unearth it, were all killed by a massive “plasma emission” that killed a further 107.  Even worse, this report continues, on 24 September 2015, during a second attempt to unearth the mysterious “Ark of Gabriel”, another massive “plasma emission” killed an estimated 4,000 more people—but which Saudi officials blamed on a stampede.     Quoting from the original MoD report as to what Saudi officials did next we can read: “After the catastrophic death toll involved with the Saudi’s second attempt to remove this mysterious “device/weapon”,  His Holiness Patriarch Kirill was then contacted by the Grand Mosque emissaries in regards to one of the oldest Islamic manuscripts possessed by the Russian Orthodox Church that was saved from the Roman Catholic Crusaders in 1204 when they sacked the Church of Holy Wisdom (now known as Hagia Sophia) in Constantinople (present day Istanbul, Turkey) titled “Gabriel’s Instructions To Muhammad”.  Important to note, and virtually unknown in the West, were that the Roman Catholic Crusades (and like they mirror today) were not only against the peoples of Islamic faith, but also against those having Russian Orthodox faith too—and why, during these crusades, the Russian Orthodox Church not only protected their own religious libraries from being destroyed, but also those belonging to Muslims. As to the contents of this ancient Islamic manuscript, “Gabriel’s Instructions To Muhammad”, it centers around a group of instructions given to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel in a cave called Hira, located on the mountain called Jabal an-Nour, near Mecca, wherein this heavenly being entrusted into Muhammad’s care a “box/ark” of “immense power” he was forbidden to use as it belonged to God only and was, instead, to be buried in a shrine at the “place of worship the Angels used before the creation of man” until its future uncovering in the days of Yawm al-Qīyāmah, or Qiyâmah, which means literally “Day of the Resurrection”. On 6 December 2015, this report notes, Federation naval research vessel Admiral Vladimisky departed the Saudi Arabian Port of Jeddah with the “Ark of Gabriel” bound for Antarctica accompanied by a vast naval armada ordered for its protection by President Putin and that (strangely) also included capsules with Russian soil to be placed in the areas of military glory and burial sites of Russian sailors at selected ports of call along the long journey to the Southern Ocean.   Russian Orthodox Church Leader Patriarch Kirill Arrives In Antarctica 18 February 2016

He’s smart enough to get a free trip to the Antarctica before Trump puts him down.
