U.S. Defense Intel Chief: Obama Gave “Willful” Aid to Al-Qaeda
New American ^ | 8/11/2015 | Alex Newman

Despite warnings about the consequences from senior U.S. officials, the Obama administration made a “willful decision” to support al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other jihadist terror groups in Syria, according to former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) chief Michael Flynn (shown). That deliberate aid to Islamic terrorists battling Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad played a crucial role in the rise of the "Islamic State” (ISIS or ISIL). While multiple top U.S. officials have already admitted that Obama’s so-called anti-ISIS coalition helped create, arm, and fund ISIS, Flynn is the highest-ranking administration official to publicly discuss the U.S. role in spawning the savage terror group now slaughtering Christians and other minorities across the Middle East. Almost incredibly, the establishment press and Congress have largely ignored the explosive revelations — even as the White House steps up its military aid to jihadist “rebels” in Syria with air support and training.

Thank you for referencing that article Velveeta. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Obama’s alleged aid to terrorist is another 17th Amendment-related problem imo.

More specifically, the Founding States gave the Senate the constitutional authority to work with the House to remove lawless presidents like Obama from office. And Obama’s alleged “willful” aid to Al-Queda should certainly raise concerns in the Senate with respect to Obama possibly violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphasis added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

But the reason that constitutional safeguards against corrupt presidents aren’t working is the following imo. Even after three election cycles after Obama’s original election, that’s enough election cycles to have replaced every member of the Senate, low-information patriots still have not elected a 2/3 Senate majority that is constitutionally required for the Senate to remove a House-impeached president from office.

I call this situation 17th Amendment gridlock.

I suppose that since God gave us two index fingers that patriots can point to both Obama and themselves to get a better idea of the real problem with the country.

Thomas Jefferson had put it this way.

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to dissapear, and corrupt senators and lawless presidents along with it.

Mccain was helping him so he wasn’t worried about it. Plus, he’s a dictator. He can do anything he wants.

There is so much that these presidential candidates can talk about and I hope they start last Thursday and keep bringing it up.

Racism and he's 6% Black, Arab then White. If you are non white you have a Constitutional exemption due to lack of enforcement and lack of balls coupled with no enforcement provisions. Sucks to be us!!!

This passes for providing "aid and comfort" to a named enemy in statutory American law, treason by the Constitutional definition.

So why doesn't Mr. Flynn file charges and demand that the witnesses come forth?
