John Kerry, diplomat…
Kerry, in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt to promote his new book, said that he has met with Iranian Former Minister Javad Zarif—the former secretary’s onetime negotiating partner—three or four times in recent months behind the Trump administration’s back.
“I think I’ve seen him three or four times,” Kerry said, adding that he has been conducting sensitive diplomacy without the current administration’s authorization. Kerry said he has criticized the current administration in these discussions, chiding it for not pursuing negotiations from Iran, despite the country’s fevered rhetoric about the U.S. president.
This sort of thing is an old story with Kerry:
Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.
According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.
By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam Warshould be stopped.
Almost fifty years ago.
Kerry: old dog, old tricks.
He gives dogs a bad name.
Gee, if I were paranoid I might call that something the Deep State would do….
It sounds like collusion to me. Where is Mueller? Wouldn’t it be funny if Kerry’s defense expenses bankrupted Heinz ketchup?
Wasn’t fired Acting AG Sally Yates interested in pressing Logan Act (i.e. it’s against the law for private citizens to interfere in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy) charges against Gen. Mike Flynn?
No one has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act, but prosecuting Kerry’s blatant interference might be a good place to start testing the validity of this law.
A very bad precedent, although it’s not a precedent since he did it previously. The guy really belongs in prison.
“He gives dogs a bad name.”
Not if you’ve ever known a decent dog.
What an a**hole.
Yank his passport.
Say what you may about the details of George W Bush’s administration, it will always be to his credit that he defeated Kerry in 2004.
PS people have been pointing out the double-standard of pushing the Logan Act against Republicans precisely because of Kerry’s former hi-jinks.
He’s not an old dog with an old trick, he’s an old tick on an old dog that will no longer hunt.
the nazis WERE conventional socialists
its the communists that were at the most extreme
now we normalized that extreme, and conventional socialsits look like the right of bukharin
they said so
read the magyar struggle as it was my struggle which was its continuation that he freaky austrian was fulfilling that.
how can you discuss this with all the obfuscation and head games played and assert you knoow these things while using the crap stuff spooned to idiots!!!
basically they were third way socialists with an idea that CERTAIN CULTURES they called races would dominate as engels said in the magyar when he said such would come forward, have a world storm (holocaust), and sweep these groups that did not want to give up their ways for communism…
read ALL the books, as that book was nearly 100 years BEFORE hitler
just as willi munzenberg was who the germans copied, not originated
in fact, the small country groups who were conscripted because unlike larger countries the US did not give weapons to…
National Socialism – Yad Vashem has things to say about it
http://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%205941.pdf
they ALWAYS leave out the MAGYAR struggle because it ties nazisms ideas directly to engels!!!
that the idea of removing hidebound cultures (like jews) who would not adopt the new ways, but would instead keep holding on to their own ways and not allow a homogeneous world society (diversity they way they used it causes homogeneity not diverse outcomes)
they ALWAY start the story either in his WWI place.. (saying he read things but not what he read given the time period)… or as vad yashem, in his prison where he writes my struggle
why my struggle?
why try ot make yourself and your life story match the predictions of the prophets?
that way, those people would follow you as the messiah that engels said would come
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
https://mises.org/library/why-nazism-was-socialism-and-why-socialism-totalitarian
My purpose today is to make just two main points: (1) To show why Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And (2) to show why socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.
you are all missing the history of the comminterm orders which say to do this to you… ie.you can read the orders that say do this to the americans…
Nevertheless, apart from Mises and his readers, practically no one thinks of Nazi Germany as a socialist state. It is far more common to believe that it represented a form of capitalism, which is what the Communists and all other Marxists have claimed.
Huh … “The Logan Act” … the Logan Act … someone was just recently accusing someone else or his associates of violating the Logan Act …
Ummm, Ummm … I’ll recall it in just a moment .
Two more things on Kerry: Now he is saying that picking John Edwards as his running mate was a bad decision. And he said a few days ago that he told Obama that not enforcing the red line in Syria was a bad idea. It sounds like he is trying to cover his a**, but isn’t that what he always does? The guy is a total fool who thinks he can save the world by just talking to the bad guys.
expat,
There’s only one thing Kerry is concerned with… will it further his ego?
Top tier of heroes in my book are the Swift Boat Veterans who revealed Kerry’s real “war stories” — not the tales he was flogging to the public and the press.
“Ready to serve” NOT.
Sessions should get a prosecutor to indict Kerry on Logan Act grounds.
Either enforce it, like against Kerry, or get rid of it.
Neo, here’s a blog question — can you move the Artfldgr Nazi-socialist comment to the Nazi post, instead of the Kerry-Logan post?

(I do like Artful Dodger w/o the later vowels as a handle, tho some are a bit long, even when mostly interesting.)
No worries, NOTHING happened in the 70’s, NOTHING will happen now. Lurch will continue on, Giggaloing as he does, not a care in the world. Laws, it seems, are for the little people.
I wonder if the Military medals he had on display in his Senate office were the ones he threw over the White House fence, or did Theresa buy him new ones?
Romey–From what I’ve read, the medals that Kerry so dramatically tossed were ones he borrowed from someone else, and wouldn’t that fit the pattern.
Kerry should have been in jail the last 40 years for treason for helping North Vietnam win the Vietnam War. Considering his generous helping of psychopathic character traits, some one should take a closer look at the plane crash that killed his wife’s previous husband.
