What's up with John Kerry?

[mojo]

Now that he is out of office, what the heck is he doing ????

Former Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly tried to meddle in Middle East peace talks, allegedly telling a close associate of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not to “yield to President Trump’s demands.”

Israeli news outlet Maariv reported on the apparent meeting between Kerry and Hussein Agha in London, where the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee also reportedly floated a possible encore bid in 2020.

But in the conversation, Kerry reportedly told Agha to share a message with Abbas – urging him to “hold on and be strong” during talks with the Trump administration and “play for time ... [and] not yield to President Trump’s demands.”


Kerry, who served as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state during his second term, also reportedly told Agha that Trump would not be in office for long, suggesting he could be out in a year.

One should never trust a member of the Skull&Bones
(having said that, I've lost trust in most politicians)

I once thought Aung San Suu Kyi was a hero. Sorry, I'm totally off topic.

maybe Kerry changed his tune/wiewpoint of things after he was flown to Antarctica (like also Buzz Aldrin and Kyrill head of the Eastern Orthodox Chuch among others) and saw/experienced something he was completely unaware of-

His ego won't let him just be a citizen ...

I always thought it was fascinating Kerry went to Antarctica the day of the election. The rumors swirling and everything.

He's just like an Al Gore evangelical preacher; just traveling, making speeches and raking in money.

Skull and bones...hmmm...he looks the part!

Agendas within agendas within agendas.

Kerry's short term goals seem to align with Obama's and Co's plans in the Middle East.....which are clearly at odd's with Turmp's.
That does not mean Trump's agenda necessarily is better in the long term....
we just don't know.

I think what you might be seeing here are parallels to Kerry's past life as Andrew Jackson. He seems to have difficulties following orders. I don't post this to make fun of him, we all have shortcomings. I merely post so you can observe the parallels likely taking place. It's difficult being a person of notoriety as your weaknesses are often played out in public.






"Trait of Disobeying/Protesting Orders when Orders were Perceived to be Wrong

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson demonstrated defiance of authority when he felt the position of those in authority was wrong. This trait is illustrated in the following examples:

When Andrew served in the Revolutionary War as a courier, at age 13, he was taken prisoner by the British for a period of time. When a British officer demanded that Andrew shine the officer's shoes, Andrew refused. The British officer responded by striking him on the hand with his sword, which resulted in a deep laceration of Andrew's hand.

During the War of 1812, Major General Andrew Jackson was ordered to march his Tennessee troops to Natchez, Mississippi. When they arrived, Jackson was told that his men were not needed and that he should disband his group of soldiers. Jackson thought the orders were wrong and he defied them. Instead, he led his troops back home to Tennessee. In was in this march that Jackson earned the nickname "Old Hickory." Due to the strict discipline maintained on the march, Jackson was perceived by his men as being "tough as hickory."

John Kerry
John Kerry also has demonstrated the trait of going against the military establishment, when he thought military leaders were making bad decisions, or when standing orders were not in the best interest of his men.

One example involves his service as a Swift Boat commander. At one point, Kerry's boat came under attack. Instead of returning fire with his vessel broadside to the enemy, which is standard operating procedure, Kerry ordered that the boat be turned directly toward the shore in the vicinity of fire, and he ordered his vessel to be beached. An enemy soldier who was about to fire a B-40 rocket launcher was surprised by the maneuver, did not have time to fire the rocket again and retreated into the jungle. Kerry jumped off the boat and chased the soldier into the jungle, killed him and in follow up action, his soldiers killed nine other of the enemy. For this action, Kerry was awarded the Silver Star.

After his second tour of duty in Vietnam, Kerry came to the conclusion that the war was a mistake. He became a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War. In this role, at 27 years of age, he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in April, 1971, where he made the statement, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

By understanding John Kerry's past lifetime as Andrew Jackson, the accusations that Kerry "flip flopped" on the Vietnam War can be better understood. In both lifetimes, Jackson/Kerry showed an early and passionate willingness to serve his country though military service. In both lifetimes, he also demonstrated the trait of not following orders blindly and without thinking. When Jackson/Kerry determined that marching orders were wrong, he challenged military authority and did what he felt was the right thing to do in the given circumstances. This is not a trait of "flip flopping," rather, it reflects intelligence, discrimination and the courage to stand up for what is just."
