Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard just returned from a secret trip to Syria and gave an interview to Jake Tapper at infamous CNN. There are NO MODERATE rebel groups in Syria.

Is it really possible for US foreign policy to be that stupid?
Arming ISIS to take out Assad.
We have Libya as an example of that "stupidity".

The Covert Origins of ISIS
Americans better figure this out in time. Who will pay attention to covert US foreign policy and share?

Great video Eagleye13. The statement made by General Wesley Clark at the 19:00 minute mark 10 days after 9-11 should be enough for every thinking, aware American to appreciate this problem for what it is.

Thanks for your comment.
The video nails what is going on.
I hope others watch it and share it.
The BS has to be exposed.

She speaks what we've actually known for a while now. We've heard it from the locals, from people here who have relatives here. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REBELS WE ARM AND ISIS.

When we arm the "moderate rebels" we arm ISIS. Obama has known this for a while now.

I heard an interview with a Mexican man, not sure what his role is in the border between Mexico and the US, but he went so far as to blame the US and it's interference in other countries, not to mention our drug habits, for the influx from south of the border into the US. Per him, the people have to come in because of our interference. I'm not totally buying that, but seriously, we have interfered too damn much, especially the ME.

The US has become an evil power in the world and we have been lied to for many years now. We claim other countries have propaganda. Well so do we.

Our problem has been G*******t CFR types running our foreign policy in BOTH parties.
Thump has only put 2 CFR members in place so far.
His Supreme Court nominee is one of them. That concerns me.
The 3,000 seats of the CFR quickly filled with members of America's elite. Today,CFR members occupy key positions in government, the mass media, financial institutions, multinational corporations, the military, and the national security apparatus.
Since its inception, the CFR has served as an intermediary between high finance, big oil, corporate elitists and the U.S. government. The executive branch changes hands between Republican and Democratic administrations, but cabinet seats are always held by CFR members. It has been said by political commentators on the left and on the right that if you want to know what U.S. foreign policy will be next year, you should read Foreign Affairs this year.
The CFR's claim that "The Council has no affiliation with the U.S. government" is laughable. The justification for that statement is that funding comes from member dues, subscriptions to its Corporate Program, foundation grants, and so forth. All this really means is that the U.S. government does not exert any control over the CFR via the purse strings.
In reality, CFR members are very tightly affiliated with the U.S. government. Since 1940, every U.S. secretary of state (except for Gov. James Byrnes of South Carolina, the sole exception) has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or its younger brother, the Trilateral Commission. Also since 1940, every secretary of war and every secretary of defense has been a CFR member. During most of its existence, the Central Intelligence Agency has been headed by CFR members, beginning with CFR founding member Allen Dulles. Virtually every key U.S. national security and foreign policy adviser has been a CFR member for the past seventy years.
Almost all White House cabinet positions are occupied by CFR members. President Clinton, himself a member of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group, employs almost one hundred CFR members in his administration. Presidents come and go, but the CFR's power--and agenda--always remains.
________________________________________
The CFR's Shroud of Secrecy - On its web page, the CFR boasts that its magazine, Foreign Affairs, "is acclaimed for its analysis of recent international developments and for its forecasts of emerging trends." It's not much of a challenge to do so, though, when you play a part in determining what those emerging trends will be.
This point is underscored a paragraph later on their web page: "Perhaps best known for the history-making "X" article by George Kennan, that defined Cold War containment policy, a recent Foreign Affairs article by Harvard's Samuel Huntington, "The Clash of Civilizations?" has already helped define the post-Cold War debate."
So are they predicting trends or creating them? The answer is fairly obvious to anyone who has earnestly reflected on the matter.
The CFR fancies itself to represent a diverse range cultural and political interests, but its members are predominantly wealthy males, and their policies reflect their elitist biases. The CFR attempts to maintain the charade of diversity via its Non-Attribution Rule, which allows members to engage in "a free, frank, and open exchange of ideas" without fear of having any of their statements attributed in public. The flip side of this, obviously, is a dark cloud of secrecy which envelopes the CFR's activities.
CFR meetings are usually held in secret and are restricted to members and very select guests. All members are free to express themselves at meetings unrestrained, because the Non-Attribution Rule guarantees that "others will not attribute or characterize their statements in public media forums or knowingly t***smit them to persons who will," according to the Council on Foreign Relations' 1992 Annual Report.
The report goes on to forbid any meeting participant "to publish a speaker's statement in attributed form in any newspaper; to repeat it on television or radio, or on a speaker's platform, or in a classroom; or to go beyond a memo of limited circulation."
The end result is that the only information the public has on the CFR is the information they release for public consumption, which should send up red f**gs for anyone who understands the immense effect that CFR directives have on America's foreign policy. The public knows what the CFR wants the public to know about the CFR, and nothing more. There is one hole in the fog of secrecy, however: a book entitled Tragedy and Hope, written by an "insider" named Dr. Carroll Quigley, mentor of Bill Clinton.
