‘There Are No Moderate Rebels’ – Tulsi Gabbard Destroys the Deep State’s Syria Narrative

Tulsi Gabbard has continued to impress ever since she came on the national scene last year with her courageous and very public support for Bernie Sanders in the rigged Democratic primary.

Most recently, she continued to demonstrate her knowledge of geopolitics and willingness to stand up to America’s unelected government, aka the Deep State, in a recent interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Note, the clip is about a month old, but important to watch if you haven’t. 

If the Democrats have any hope of becoming a decent opposition party which not only resists the worst of Trump, but also rejects the perverted neoliberal/Deep State ideology currently embraced by establishment Dems, Tulsi Gabbard will have to play a key role.

As I highlighted in last February’s post, It’s Not Just the GOP – The Democratic Party is Also Imploding:

A rising star within the Democratic ranks, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, cut herself off from the party’s establishment by resigning from her post as vice-chairman of the Democratic National Committee and endorsing Bernie Sanders for president. 

Her position with the DNC required her to stay neutral in the primaries, but she said that “the stakes are too high.” She announced her decision on Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and made a video where she explained her reasoning.

Gabbard, an Iraq war veteran, said she knows the cost of war firsthand. “I know how important it is that our commander-in-chief has the sound judgment required to know when to use America’s military power—and when not to use that power.”

The importance of this move cannot be overstated. In no uncertain terms, this gesture publicly exposes the weakness of the “Clinton brand.” She clearly isn’t afraid of Hillary or of any repercussions from the Democratic Party elite, a fact that is underscored by the fact she came out with her endorsement after he got pummeled in South Carolina.

But let’s take a step back and think about this in the even bigger picture. You don’t get to Congress by being a political imbecile. On the surface, this move looks like career suicide, particularly since Hillary is probably about to clinch the nomination. Recall, Rep. Gabbard didn’t merely endorse Sanders after a bruising loss in South Carolina, she stepped down from her official position with the DNC to do so. This isn’t merely a statement, it’s the equivalent of dropping a neutron bomb on the Democratic establishment. So why did she do it?

While I think she genuinely agrees with Sanders on key issues, the reason she came out so aggressively is because she sees the writing on the wall. She’s playing the long game, and in the long game, Hillary Clinton represents a discredited and failed status quo, while Bernie Sanders represents a push toward the paradigm level change that will define the future.

When it comes to the Democrats, we need to see a lot less Pelosi and Schumer, and a lot more Gabbard.

    • Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Hugo Chavez…

      “New Paradigm”? Hardly!!! Democrats are now the same as the communists of the past and present.

  1. Two more things admirable about Tulsi Gabbard:
    1) She is a Veteran (who actually deployed as an enlisted soldier in Iraq, not a desk jockey)
    2) She deployed AFTER winning a political election (Hawaii State Representative)

    On the downside, in 2011, Tulsi Gabbard introduced a bill that basically made homelessness illegal by allowing the government to confiscate property stored on public land for 24 hours (even if that property is not abanadoned). This would include a tent that you are presently sleeping in, but does have a few obvious exceptions (parked cars, for example). You can searhc for “hawaii Bill 54 homless” for opinions. Here’s the bill so you can make up your own mind:

  2. After going to Syria to assess herself the situation on the spot and writing her report “The Syrian People Desperately Want Peace” with the utmost honesty, she sees the arrival of his anti-terrorism bill before the Senate – a bill whose text clearly implies funding from Islamist terrorist groups by the US. What more can we say except, Bravo Tulsi!
