McCain was a bad role model for the new generation. He hated Russia and China when he was alive. Love trumps hate. It is a good thing for the world now that he is gone. May he rot in hell.

McCain Goes To Hell: Finally Dead, Assad Curse Strikes Again

The death of the vile war-criminal brings joy to billions
By Joaquin Flores
Last updated Aug 26, 2018


Peace-loving people the world over are failing to mourn the death of the US’s war loving, vile US Senator John McCain, who thankfully died on Saturday at age 81. One of President Donald Trump’s biggest critics within the Republican Party itself, for Trump’s stated desire to see less conflicts and wars, McCain finally died from brain cancer after it was revealed he had it in July 2017.

His death was reported by his political office. He was an untried war-criminal, and a perpetrator of crimes against humanity. Any number of his pro-war public proclamations, geopolitical projects, and lobbying efforts for war, were in direct violation of international law, the UN founding charter, and the Geneva Convention.

FRN likewise admonishes both the reactionary MSM and also so-called ‘progressives’ and ‘leftists’ who are today simply copy-pasting their moral compass from establishment talking points.

There is a trend in ‘respectable’ American internal media culture, to pretend that the deaths of extraordinarily evil political figures like McCain, ought to be treated with dignity, as a solemn event, as if we were ‘friends’, ‘colleagues’, or ‘members of the family’. We are not. FRN is proud to be part of bucking this trend, and speaking truth to power.

We remind our readers, and the public, that only as a result of McCain’s insistence on a public life as an advocate for genocide, war, torture, Salafi terrorism, domestic spying, overthrowing governments, suppressing labor, and opposing the rights of self-determination for billions of people the world over – only for these reasons does anyone know who he is. 150,000 people die each day. By the numbers, most of them lived lives not as good as they could have been, if not for the precise policies vilely advocated for by John McCain. There is no ‘private’ dimension to the public dissection of a political life, especially not one dedicated to overtly and disgustingly trampling on the world’s people.

Attempts to silence the tears of joy that the world’s people share today, in the name of depoliticizing a ‘solemn matter’, is precisely a cynical political move.

Our thoughts are not with his family and friends. None of us even know them, nor would we even be invited to clean their toilets.

For those wanting to mourn the dead, we’d kindly ask to mourn these dead instead – dead as a result of the policies which McCain, the war criminal, dedicated his life to advocating for:

In Iraq alone, it is estimated that a total of 1,220,580 have been killed, as of 2011 since the U.S. invasion in 2003. Over 60% of them violent. Thanks to John McCain, and the globalist imperialists, banksters and the military industrial complex, he spent your life advocating for.

Speaking of volunteer toilet-bowl cleaners, here’s a look at what the US’s fake-left’s shill darling, has to say. As a psy-op, her handlers are trying to recapture some of that Bernie-bro energy, back into Hillary’s next run.

John McCain’s legacy represents an unparalleled example of human decency and American service.

As an intern, I learned a lot about the power of humanity in government through his deep friendship with Sen. Kennedy.

He meant so much, to so many. My prayers are with his family. https://t.co/iu28V3snDm

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) August 26, 2018

The shallow con-artist, shill, huckster Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is supported officially by the Atlantic Council, means she is a low-level deep-state asset. One doesn’t have to be a genius to do this, in fact it helps not to be. Self-interest and a love for the spot-light are sufficient qualifications alone. If she doesn’t repent, and turn things around, she’ll be joining him one day, there can be no doubt about that.

McCain was raised in a wealthy and powerful military home, with every privilege and advantage anyone could possibly dream of. He was known for having deluded himself into thinking that this privilege, which made him unaccountable to middle-class bureaucracies, defined him as a ‘bad-boy maverick’. In some ways, he would come to foreshadow reality-TV celebrity culture.

He was then a senator from the state of Arizona, was a prisoner of war in Vietnam for 5 years where the communist insurgents mistakenly did not execute him, but instead he acted, not out of principle but self-preservation, as an informant for the Viet-Cong in exchange for better treatment.

It was here that he received his real nick-name, not ‘Maverick’, but ‘Song-Bird John’.

*

He was also a failed presidential candidate in 2008 when he was defeated by Barack Obama. McCain struggled with a glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer discovered in July 2017 and had not been seen in the US Capitol in 2018.

Elected for the first time to the House in 1982, he went to the Senate four years later and managed to re-elect himself at every opportunity ever since.

In Congress, McCain was a pro-business conservative, free-market advocate and enemy of organized labor, but voted against the Republican majority on several key projects. After engaging in a scandal that became known as “Keating Five,” he made the reform of election campaign funding one of his flags.

McCain was a prominent critic of President Trump. After cynically criticizing Trump’s rhetoric about illegal immigration, even while McCain had also supported precisely the same measures in the past, Trump dismissed McCain’s military service as saying he preferred “people who were not captured.” Trump, here, was referencing what many US veterans of McCain really call him – Song-bird. McCain’s constant lobbying for wars, while also advocating for the continual cut of veterans services, made him one of the most hated ‘conservative’ candidates after the veteran vote in the history of US electoral politics. McCain, out of partisan loyalty, later endorsed Trump as soon as the businessman got the Republican nomination. He, however, withdrew his support in October 2016 after a tape appeared in which Trump boasted of ‘grabbing’ women ‘by the pussy’. McCain would remain a regular critic of Trump’s presidency.

In October 2017, McCain called Trump’s foreign policy a “spurious, half-cooked nationalism prepared by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.”

However, McCain’s suggestion for solving problems, meant declaring war against Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, China, Russia, South Ossetia, Ukraine and many other places across the globe.

But McCain’s penchant for murdering innocents, and calling to “Bomb, bomb, bomb … bomb bomb Iran”, wasn’t just something he liked to do at a distance.

McCain also ran an illegal department of diplomacy and foreign policy out of the Senate Armed Services Committee. This was done especially during the Obama administration, even though Obama had executive power to put an end to it. Obama didn’t shut it down, so that any number of US war crimes could be placed within the predictable Dem vs. Rep controlled paradigm discourse of electoral politics.

Magically, McCain was allowed to travel the world, acting as an unofficial-but-official power broker, and arms dealer for Salafi terrorists in Libya, Iraq, and Syria. Here is pictured with identified members of Al Qaeda and ISIS:



His death comes at a time when the so-called Assad curse has claimed new victims. The Assad curse is when world power players who have called for the deposition of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but they themselves have died or been removed from positions of power.



The latest scalps, since Friday, includes Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, US Senator John McCain and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

At McCain’s request, former Presidents Barack Obama, a Democrat, and George W. Bush, a Republican, are speaking about the six-term senator on Saturday at Washington National Cathedral. It is the last event in Washington, where McCain lived and worked over four decades, and part of McCain’s five-day, cross-country funeral procession. He died Aug. 25 at age 81.

John McCain is getting a presidential farewell, but not from the actual sitting President.

President Donald Trump was told to stay away, but he won’t be far. The President is expected to remain in Washington this weekend.

McCain’s procession will come within a mile of the White House as it travels between the U.S. Capitol, where the casket was lying in state overnight, to the cathedral. It will pass the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where McCain’s wife, Cindy, is expected to lay a wreath. McCain is a decorated veteran who was held for more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. He refused early release.

The memorial stop will provide another contrast with Mr. Trump in McCain’s carefully designed funeral procession. But the speeches by the former presidents are expected to carry special weight.

McCain has long urged the Senate and the polarized nation to recognize the humanity even in bitter political opponents. McCain’s request for speeches by the former presidents, to some, represents that ideal.

“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe,” McCain wrote in his farewell letter to the nation, read posthumously by a longtime aide. “We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.”

By all accounts, McCain ended up liking both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama but was not especially close to either man.

“John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics,” Mr. Obama said in a statement after McCain’s death. “But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed.”

Mr. Bush delivered McCain a decisive defeat in the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2000. Mr. Obama defeated McCain eight years later in the general election.

After his death, Mr. Bush called McCain “a man of deep conviction and a patriot of the highest order. He was a public servant in the finest traditions of our country. And to me, he was a friend whom I’ll deeply miss.”

McCain’s service and dedication to working across the aisle even as he sometimes infuriated his opponents was a major theme of Friday’s ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda.

Of those who spoke at Friday’s ceremony, fellow Republican Mitch McConnell had perhaps the fullest sense of the McCain experience. The two had served in the Senate together since McCain’s 1986 election.

“Depending on the issue, you knew John would either be your staunchest ally or your most stubborn opponent,” McConnell recalled. “At any moment, he might be preparing an eloquent reflection on human liberty or a devastating joke, served up with his signature cackle and that John McCain glint in his eye.”

But just about anyone who worked in the Capitol over the past 35 years could attest to McCain’s iron will and what House Speaker Paul Ryan called his “distinct brand of candor.”

“With John, it was never feigned disagreement. The man didn’t feign anything,” Mr. Ryan said. “He just relished the fight.”

“This,” Mr. Ryan added of McCain, “is one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced.”

McCain is to be buried Sunday at his alma mater, the U.S. Naval Academy, next to his best friend from the Class of 1958, Adm. Chuck Larson.

“Back,” McCain wrote on the last page of his recent memoir, “where it began.”

MEGHANMCCAIN

https://www.thehindu.com/news/inter...ot-at-trump-during-eulogy/article24846590.ece
“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness — the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.” Meghan McCain said.
The daughter of late Sen. John McCain on Saturday took aim at the President of the U.S. in an emotional eulogy at the Washington National Cathedral.

In her remarks, she praised her father and contrasted his life with that of Donald Trump, Efe reported.

“He was a great man,” Meghan McCain said of the two-time presidential candidate, long-time member of the US’s upper house of Congress representing Arizona and chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee from 2015 until his death of brain cancer last Saturday.

“We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness — the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.”

Those remarks clearly were targeted at Mr. Trump, who received five deferments excusing him from military duty during the Vietnam War.

John McCain, for his part, was well-known for his military service in the Vietnam War and particularly for having been held prisoner for five years and tortured by his captors.

Ms. Meghan McCain, the co-host of the American talk show “The View,” also used her remarks to criticize Trump’s slogan during his presidential campaign — “Make America Great Again.”

“The America of John McCain is generous and welcoming and bold. She is resourceful and confident and secure. She meets her responsibilities. She speaks quietly because she is strong. America does not boast because she has no need. The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great,”

In May, the New York Times reported that those close to McCain had told the White House that Vice President Mike Pence would be welcome to attend the senator’s funeral but that Mr. Trump would not be.

During his campaign, Mr. Trump mocked McCain’s service in Vietnam, saying, “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured.”

The two men’s relationship remained rocky after the real estate mogul’s surprise victory in the 2016 presidential election.

One of the most tense episodes came in July of last year, when McCain — shortly after making public his brain cancer diagnosis — joined just two other GOP colleagues in voting against a Republican-proposed bill that would have repealed certain aspects of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, a US health-care overhaul popularly known as “Obamacare.”

Ms. Meghan McCain was the first speaker at Saturday’s memorial service for the late senator at the Washington National Cathedral.

Also scheduled to deliver eulogies on Saturday are two former presidents, Barack Obama (who defeated McCain in the 2008 presidential election) and George W. Bush (who beat out McCain in the race for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination).

One other former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, also was in attendance at the memorial service on Saturday, as was his wife Hillary Clinton and numerous foreign dignataries.

Several people close to Mr. Trump also were in the audience for the ceremony, including his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, as well as White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis.

McCain ends 81-year journey with burial at Naval Academy

Washington, September 2

John McCain is being laid to rest at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

The private burial Sunday next to Adm Chuck Larson brings to a close the six-term senator's cross-country farewell after he died of brain cancer August 25 in Arizona.

The procession was carefully designed by McCain as a final call to arms to a nation he feared was at risk of losing its civility and sense of shared purpose.

To illustrate the warning, McCain asked former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush to eulogise him at Washington National Cathedral. The service Saturday was a rebuke of President Donald Trump's divisive politics.

Trump had mocked McCain for getting captured in Vietnam and was not invited to any events. The president spent the day tweeting and golfing. — AP
