Coughing Fit, Pants of Shit

The Real John McCain

If there was a Nobel War Prize John McCain would have won it every year, because he was - and thank God I finally get to say that in the past tense - the biggest warmonger on the planet. Yeah, John McCain, who was a POW in Vietnam decided that millions more should have to experience the suffering that he experienced by creating as many unnecessary wars as possible. Misery, as they say, loves company.

John McCain, who in 1967 pulled off a jackass stunt on the USS Forrestal, which caused the launch of a Zuni rocket, killing 134 people and injuring 161. But McCain got out of jail free because Daddy was the admiral. No one else would have gotten away scot free.

John McCain, who was shot down over Vietnam, and alleges that his captors were so impressed by his father and grandfather being senior four star admirals that they wanted to release him and good ol' boy Johnny said, "Nay! I'll rot in prison until the last of my brethren are freed!" so they kept him in prison until 1973. As Johnnie Cochran says "It makes no sense. It doesn't fit. If it doesn't fit, you MUST acquit." Think about it. When was the last time the hard core VC guerrillas ever complied with the wishes of their prisoners? That does not make sense.

Even if it were true, does that make McCain a hero? He sure liked to brandish that epithet around as a defense against all criticism, and the dinosaur legacy media likes to use it as the ultimate defense ever since McCain started hating on Trump. Sure, in 2008 when he ran against Obama the legacy media said that the only chair they wanted McCain in was a wheel chair and that he was Hitler incarnate. Sure, the left liked to parade around the legend that in 2008 the head of the KKK endorsed Obama because McCain was totally incompetent. But ever since McCain started taking pot shots at Trump the legacy media has thrills shoot up their legs whenever that warmonger speaks.

But does that make him a hero? Does being captured automatically make someone a hero? 2 million Soviet soldiers were captured in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa, were all of them heroes? When the French surrendered at Compiègne did the entire French nation become a nation of heroes?

Even if the legend is true and McCain convinced his captors not to release him, it has nothing to do with him being a hero and everything to do with the cold, hard truth that his career would have ended had he been released in 1967. He would have been stuck in the Navy, the man who blew up his own aircraft carrier and got captured, and he would have gotten a nice pension on retirement, and that would have been that. There would have been no way for good ol' Johnny to leverage his immortal, untouchable status as a hero to worm his way into the Senate and eventually run for President in 2008. IF McCain decided to remain in prison it had nothing to do with esprit de corps and everything to do with Machiavellianism.

Let's not forget what good ol' Johnny did after he was released. John McCain married his first wife Carol in 1965, back when she was a famous model. When he got out of the Hanoi Hilton in 73 he had discovered his wife had been disfigured in a car accident. Of course by this point Johnny had been beaten into the form looking like a cross between a troll doll and a potato, and his loving wife could look past that, but the narcissistic hypocrite could not get past the fact that his beauty queen had been scarred, so he divorced her in 1980 and married a much younger liquor heiress. Johnny moved to Arizona, leveraged his new wife's fortune, and launched a career into politics. All for himself. All for John McCain, the only person or thing in the world he ever loved.

And what of that long, illustrious political career? Ol' Johnny wasn't finished. Songbird Johnny spent his entire career stonewalling legislation to help veterans and getting America ensnared in as many pointless wars as possible. The vampire McCain needed to turn soldiers into pine boxes in order to keep on living.

2,400 killed and 20,000 wounded in Afghanistan, 4,500 killed and 32,000 wounded in Iraq, more than two trillion dollars spent. On top of that over one million dead Iraqis. The murder of Gaddafi and the war in Libya that destroyed the only African nation that had first world equivalent standard of living and sent millions of migrants into Europe to live off welfare, destabilizing the countries they left and the ones they fled to. The war in Syria, the threat of starting war with Iran, nuclear war with Russia, war in Korea. Never has a POW advocated for so many pointless wars than John McCain.

John McCain is not a hero, he is a monster, and the world is a little closer to peace now that he's gone.

The Media Are Responsible for Mass Shootings

By giving fame to people who commit mass shootings the media teach deranged individuals that the way to achieve immortality is through murder.

Iceland Set To Ban Circumcision

Iceland has a bill up for vote to ban mutilating baby boys because "muh tradition". If it passes Iceland will be the first European country to ban cutting off 1/3 of the skin off a boy's penis hours after birth without anesthesia because sick assholes like the way it looks. The fact that laws banning cosmetic surgery for babies haven't already been universally accepted decades ago is testament to the degeneracy that still exists within the West.

Airplane Emergency Landing

This is perhaps the most important news story of the year, maybe the decade. Transavia Airlines Flight HV6902 from Dubai to Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing in Vienna because one passenger refused to stop farting.

The as-of-yet unnamed passenger was confronted by two irate passengers regarding his incessant farting, but he ignored them and kept on farting. The two irate passengers told the flight crew who promptly did nothing. A fight broke out on the plane and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing. The farting man was allowed to stay on the plane, but the two men involved in the fight and two women were kicked off. The two women claim to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time and that they had nothing to do with the fight. The four people, two of whom may be totally innocent, have been banned from Transavia Airlines.

Take a moment to let that sink in. Someone grounded a plane by farting too much. Can you imagine how much gas one ass must contain to force a pilot to make an emergency landing? Can you further imagine the total incompetence of the flight crew that they kicked innocent people off the plane and banned them for life? These are the latter days, folks.

Democracy: The God That Failed

Hans-Hermann Hoppe explains why democracy does not work, so to speak. This isn't exactly news, but it does fit in with the general political theme of the news section.
