McCain Advisor was a paid lobbyist for Republic of Georgia

... used to be Georgia's top DC lobbyist....

From Robert Scheer in TruthDig:

Quote:
Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy?


Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August, and that the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?
Before you dismiss that possibility, consider the role of one Randy Scheunemann, for four years a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government who ended his official lobbying connection only in March, months after he became Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s senior foreign policy adviser.
Previously, Scheunemann was best known as one of the neoconservatives who engineered the war in Iraq when he was a director of the Project for a New American Century. It was Scheunemann who, after working on the McCain 2000 presidential campaign, headed the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which championed the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

McCain, Georgia and the next step.

McCain has close ties to Georgia and the new shananigans.

The "Neo-Cons" - you might as well say "Jews" because that's what this code word means - are so powerful that they can get a foregin nation to invade another foreign nation. Seriously? You're going with that?

BTW: This is the first time I've ever heard an invasion called "Shananigans". Quite possibly, the funniest use of this word since Super Troopers.

**** the V.P.'s - Here's Some Real News

Constitution Hall burns while you numbnuts are squealing like a bunch of schoolgirls about who the goddamn V.P. selections are going to be.

Quote:
Who is Randy Scheunemann?
He is the principal foreign policy adviser to John McCain and potential successor to Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski as national security adviser to the president of the United States.



But Randy Scheunemann has another identity, another role. He is a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man.


From January 2007 to March 2008, the McCain campaign paid Scheunemann $70,000—pocket change compared to the $290,000 his Orion Strategies banked in those same 15 months from the Georgian regime of Mikheil Saakashvili.

Wow, I share so many of the same sentiments, and yet I could never match you for eloquence.

This choice for VP is going to mark the dawning of the age of Aquarius, though. It's no wonder all these people can't wait 24 hours for it to become old, stale, boring news!!!

X, good stuff from Tarpley here.
"Power Shift in Washington" with Webster Tarpley on who has power in Washington and the next targets of imperialism. Discussed are the neocons versus the Trilateral/Soros/Rockefeller/Brzezinski factions of the ruling elite; the targeting of Chinese allies; the threats to the Russian Federation; the shift in imperialist strategy from direct confrontation to subversion; the role of the Principal's Committee; the purge of the Air Force; and the role played by presidential contender Barak Obama.

We already know McCain's daddy forbid the USS Liberty Naval investigation team from going to Israel to interview anybody(in spite of their requests to do so), and wanted this kangaroo court to convene within 10 days of the incident, in spite of being told a proper investigation could take perhaps 6 months, by counsel.

Admiral Staring, the reviewing officer of the court, wouldnt even sign off on its findings.

Johnny boy, aside from ignoring the USS Liberty murders, while asked as a Senator and former sailor to look into them, by survivors...didnt fall far from the tree.

In recent years, Scheunemann has registered as a lobbyist for several foreign governments, including Georgia, Macedonia and Taiwan, according to published reports. His firm has also lobbied for the National Rife Association and defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

I want him out of McCains circle of influence, NOW. What the hell was McCain thinking? The US has NO business in Georgia, let alone South Ossetia. I'm very disturbed in McCain's judgement on that one.

McCain is a bootlicking political slut. He is the bastard son of the original Presidential Imperialist Teddy Roosevelt. You're really surprised by this type of development?

I respect the heck out of your position, but the funny thing is, I think an Obama presidency would interfere in this Russian nonsense just as much as McCain (because of Brzezinski).

Number one, just because many in that pack of Leo Strauss loving idiots happens to be jewish shouldn't mean you can't hate their stupid PNAC agenda without being called an anti-semite.

Number two, if you don't think Saaka**** is a U.S./NATO puppet, you are mistaken. I don't think encouraging Georgia would have been an election ploy, though. I think Georgia was encouraged to stir things up, but probably to test Russian response (possibly in anticipation of an Iran invasion) or simply to just draw them into a military quagmire.

Thanks Al for the link. Solid stuff as always.

Hey 86 - Jones has Tarpley on often. When it comes to knowing the ins and outs of international intelligence agencies and their wheelings and dealings - Tarpley is the main man.

As I and others have said - There is no difference between the GOP and Democrats. They both descend from the same corrupt political bowels. They only difference between McCain and Obama is the smell of their soiled NWO issued G-strings.

You don't give yourself enough credit, X

No, I'm serious now, WTF!?!?!?

No offense to the toadys getting all wet over these elections, but I think I'm miles ahead of them in snooping around and trying to figure out what's what. Indeed, I had made a little headway with 9/11, the necons... This dude is blowing all that out of the water!? Is this guy going to take me all the way to some kind of Satanic rites where all the illuminati are ministering to the anti-Christ!? Where does it stop!? This guy is rattling on and on like he's describing spy operations for the New England Patriots!

Man, hankies for all the Obama dudes who think he's the next Andrew Jackson or JFK, or whoever. Hey, I can't even say anything about historic figures, if the reality behind the scenes has always been so radically different from Anderson Cooper.

WTF!?!?

Alright, I'm on it!

Anderson Cooper is the son of billionaire elite cumdumpster Gloria Vanderbilt. He also interned at the Central Intelligence Agency for two summers while studying at Yale. He is not to be trusted.

Quote:
During college, he spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he technically has no formal journalistic education, he opted to pursue a career in journalism rather than stay with the agency after school,[13] having been a "news junkie" "since I was in utero".[14]
Yeah right, he "left" the CIA to become a journalist. That's like leaving the Costra Nostra to run a porno theatre. Operation Mockingbird anyone?

**** Anderson Cooper . . . and his dirty socialite Momma too.

Holy freaking crap! I just got up to speed on the last 8 years, and now this!?!?!

It makes sense, that since the 8yrs of W are drawing down and his power play is almost over, that there would be a shift in behind the scene thinking.

I find it very diabolically delightful that under W we borrowed all this money from China and now the powers that be are working on destroying China from their allies inward.

That intervew is so intense I will have to spend a couple more hours to listen to it a second and third time to ingest all that was told.

How can a guy like Tarpley be so inside and tell these tales and not be brought down? He sounds like he is on the cutting edge of policy.


I imagine there will be a major re-write of history about W will be slow and steady over the next decade.
