Kerry to Travel to Antarctica, State Dept Grilled Over Why
November 4, 2016 4:55 pm
After announcing that Secretary of State John Kerry will be traveling to Antarctica, State Department spokesman John Kirby was grilled over why Kerry was traveling there and the trips cost to taxpayers.
Kerry will travel to a research station at the South Pole in a trip that begins Monday.
Kirby said the foreign minister of New Zealand would not be accompanying Kerry when asked by reporters. Flights to the South Pole normally stop in New Zealand first. Reporters then asked what the diplomatic purpose of the visit is. Kirby said the reason is climate change.
The purpose for the South Pole was to talk to researchers and scientists largely about climate change research, Kirby said.
Kirby was unable to provide an estimated cost for Kerrys trip.
Theres some criticism that this trip is basically, you know, the secretary wants to knock Antarctica off his bucket list and hes doing it on taxpayer expense, a reporter said.

There aren’t any Polar Bears in Antarctica, they only live in the Arctic.
But he could get eaten by a Leopard Seal, or the Penguins, or the Gulls.
Or a starving member of the dog teams or the only surviving member of the Shackleton Expedition (they are hungry to).
On second thought who or what would even want to eat a pile of sh!t over 6 feet tall?
Isn’t there still an operating Nazi base there somewhere?
:-D
Hmm. Wonder what leaks are coming out about Kerry on Monday?
THAT’S why he looks so familiar!
Scoping out sites for the Conservative reeducation camps if Hillary wins.
Hey Mr. Secretary, why the long face?
Mr. Secretary, quit horsing around.
Mr. Secretary, have you taken measures to prevent Victor Frankenstein from digging you up after you die?
He is the hugest dickhead to have ever drawn a US Government paycheck.
In the book the first meetings take place in Antarctica precisely because it is difficult for unwanted observers to access.
Poor penguins.
What book?
Maybe there have been some threats of a nuclear terrorist attack and he wants to be away from the action.
One of about 200 StarTrek books I bought in 2009 at Goodwill. Don’t remember the title.
I hope he licks the pole, gets his tongue stuck to it and loses it to frostbite. The world would be a better place.
Ahh
Establishing diplomatic relations with the Emperor Penguins?
Have we seen his wife in the news lately? This is from a few years ago but telling. http://www.newsmax.com/US/Teresa-Heinz-Kerry-Conflict-Kitchen/2014/10/24/id/602991/
Colluding with Russians or Ukrainians?
Meeting with Russians or Chris Steele?
I don’t know why he went, but leaders from all over the world have been going there. WikiLeaks had a bunch of pics of Antartica released. Something secret there - maybe we will find out one of these days.
Part of Admiral Byrd’s expedition is still classified is what I’ve read. He went there after WWII, possibly looking for Nazi Bases.
