ALERT: WE'VE BEEN HAD BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IN A POTENTIAL CONSPIRACY WITH FREED ARMY SGT. BOWE BERGDAHL AND HIS FATHER, ROBERT BERGDAHL!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, in one manner or another, we have been had. President Obama via his liaisons within the Islamic state of Qatar along the Persian Gulf have brokered what perhaps is the most corrupt bargain in a swap of five Taliban prisoners for the lone U.S. military personnel known to have been held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan in Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. It appears as if all is not as it seems when you have the opportunity to read the series of tweets from Sgt. Bergdahl's father Robert Bergdahl below.
In accessing records of the history behind Sgt. Bergdahl's capture, I found several articles from the past few years suggesting that he was, in fact, a traitor who deserted his post as a disgruntled soldier having provided correspondence material with his family, most notably father Robert Bergdahl. Having watched my next door neighbors being brought to their knees in grief and prayer over the loss of their nephew, Danny Lee, from a fatal gunshot wound to the chest that I understand killed him instantly, this disgusts me far more if what I have read is indeed true.
The first news outlet in which I read this information was The Miami Herald. Around midnight when I accessed the page, it was filled with very revealing, provocative details about Sgt. Bergdahl's past, which were covered very little prior to the past few days; what was discussed was in a sprinkling of random articles over the span heavily concentrated from 2012 to the past 24 hours. The article within The Miami Herald, however, has been removed from the website, and the reasoning for this was neither revealed nor do I myself have any knowledge of why. If you wish to look at the link yourself - and please read the URL provided on your screen - you may do so here.
To grasp the full gravity of what we may have just witness unfold, I want to direct you to a video shot of Sgt. Bergdahl by his captors within the Taliban:

New Report Says Captive U.S. Soldier Left His Post Willingly
By MARK MCDONALD JUNE 13, 2012 12:01 AM 6 Comments
HONG KONG — Two weeks from now, a young soldier from Idaho, Bowe Bergdahl, will have been in the hands of the Taliban for three years. He is America’s only prisoner of war.
How he was captured is in serious dispute — whether he simply walked off his post in eastern Afghanistan in disgust over the army’s prosecution of the war, or whether he was captured as he lagged behind on a patrol, or whether Taliban fighters grabbed him out of a latrine.
A new article in Rolling Stone says categorically that Mr. Bergdahl, then a 23-year-old private, left his weapon and other gear behind and walked away from his combat outpost after being deployed for only a few months. An excerpt from the article, written by Michael Hastings:
In the early-morning hours of June 30th, according to soldiers in the unit, Bowe approached his team leader not long after he got off guard duty and asked his superior a simple question: If I were to leave the base, would it cause problems if I took my sensitive equipment?
Yes, his team leader responded — if you took your rifle and night-vision goggles, that would cause problems.
Bowe returned to his barracks, a roughly built bunker of plywood and sandbags. He gathered up water, a knife, his digital camera and his diary. Then he slipped off the outpost.
A furious search ensued when it was discovered that Private Bergdahl was missing. The effort included Predator drones, tracking teams with sniffer dogs, an electronic intercept plane called Guardrail, F-18s, F-15s and Afghan Army helicopters.
“No one knew whether Bowe was a deserter, a prisoner or a casualty,” Mr. Hastings writes. “At that point he was simply listed as DUSTWUN — short for ‘Duty Status: Whereabouts Unknown.’ ”
The military newspaper Stars & Stripes reported last week that even now “the Pentagon has never presented a detailed account of Bergdahl’s disappearance, but he is not classified as a deserter and has been promoted twice while held in captivity.” (He is now a sergeant.)
In July of 2009, the Taliban released a video of Sergeant Bergdahl. Over the years, four more have followed. The latest video, with desperate pleas from Sergeant Bergdahl for his release, is the most difficult for his parents to watch.
“The videos show a steep decline in Bowe’s appearance and mental health,” Mr. Hastings says. “In the first two videos he displays a measured calm, a kind of doped-out serenity that is missing from the most recent installments. Each is typical jihadist propaganda, using Bowe to recite lines criticizing American foreign policy.”
He is now believed to be held, “alive and relatively well, by the militant Haqqani network across the border in the tribal area of Pakistan’s northwest frontier,” my colleague Elisabeth Bumiller recently wrote in a story from Mr. Bergdahl’s hometown of Hailey, Idaho.
Elisabeth’s piece, which includes extensive interviews with Sergeant Bergdahl’s parents, and Mr. Hastings’ story describe him as a plucky, adventurous, outdoorsy kid. Home-schooled by his parents using a Calvinist curriculum, he rode horses, became good with a rifle and danced the role of the Nutcracker at a local ballet academy. He took up fencing, crewed on a sailboat, traveled through Europe, worked as a barista in Hailey and tried to join the French Foreign Legion but was rejected.
During training as a gung-ho recruit in the army, Mr. Hastings writes, he “earned the nickname ‘SF,’ short for Special Forces — but it wasn’t a compliment.”
Upon deployment in Afghanistan in the spring of 2009, he quickly became disillusioned with military life. His unit was known for its lack of discipline, Mr. Hastings writes, due in part to frequent changes in its leaders. Three days before his disappearance, he wrote an e-mail to his parents that said he was “ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.”
From the Rolling Stone article:
“He then referred to what his parents believe may have been a formative, possibly traumatic event: seeing an Afghan child run over by an MRAP. ‘We don’t even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks. . . We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them.’
“Bowe concluded his e-mail with what, in another context, might read as a suicide note. ‘I am sorry for everything,’ he wrote. ‘The horror that is america is disgusting.’ ”
Elisabeth writes that a deal has been in the works that would “trade five Taliban prisoners held in Guantánamo Bay for Sergeant Bergdahl,” a deal that apparently has stalled. His father, Robert Bergdahl, said he went public with the media “to try to push the Obama administration to revive the talks.”
In comments on MSNBC, Mr. Hastings said, “There are elements within the Pentagon who don’t want to make the trade for Bowe Bergdahl.”
Robert Bergdahl has also “reached out to the insurgents,” Elisabeth writes. “He is now in regular e-mail contact with a man he believes is a member of the Taliban with accurate knowledge of his son.”
“Why wouldn’t a father do this? This is my job,” he said, adding that he now believes the Taliban would not harm his son. A recent video appeal by Mr. Bergdahl is here.
About a possible trade for Sergeant Bergdahl, Mr. Hastings writes:
Unofficially, however, his status within the military is sharply contested. According to officials familiar with the internal debate, there are those in both Congress and the Pentagon who view Bowe as a deserter, and perhaps even a traitor. As with everything in Washington these days, the sharp political discord has complicated efforts to secure his release.
One White House official told Mr. Hastings that the details of Sergeant Bergdahl’s capture are irrelevant.
“He’s an American soldier,” the official said. “We want to bring him home.”
Five days earlier, CBS News by way of the Associated Press, reported this:
APJune 8, 2012, 2:51 AM
Bowe Bergdahl, U.S. soldier held by Taliban, was "ashamed to be American," emails show
(AP) WASHINGTON - Emails an American soldier reportedly sent to his parents before he was captured by the Taliban three years ago suggest he was disillusioned and considering deserting.
Bowe Bergdahl told his parents he was "ashamed to even be American" and was disgusted with the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and with the Army, according to emails quoted in Rolling Stone magazine.
Bergdahl, a 26-year-old Army sergeant from Hailey, Idaho, was taken prisoner on June 30, 2009, in Afghanistan.
The military has never detailed circumstances of his disappearance or capture, and he is not classified as a deserter. He was initially listed as "duty status unknown" and is now considered "missing-captured." He is the only U.S. prisoner of war from the Afghanistan conflict, and U.S. officials say they are actively trying to free him.
Bergdahl's dad vows POW son will come home
Bowe Bergdahl: Prisoner of war, politics and diplomacy
Pentagon: We're doing "everything" to find POW
The White House declined comment on the emails or Bergdahl's possible motivation for leaving his base in eastern Afghanistan in 2009.
Bergdahl is the subject of a proposed prisoner swap in which he would be traded for five Taliban adherents imprisoned by the United States at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Taliban have walked away from the deal and larger negotiations with the United States, but the Obama administration is still pushing a negotiated settlement between the Taliban and the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan.
The Rolling Stone article, to be published Friday, also quotes other soldiers and associates of Bergdahl's as saying that he had talked about walking to Pakistan if his deployment was "lame" and that shortly before his disappearance he had asked whether he should take his weapon if he left the base. Friends and other soldiers describe a survivalist mentality, and Bergdahl's father, Bob, told the magazine that his son was "living in a novel."
"The future is too good to waste on lies," one email reads. "And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong."
The emails were provided to the magazine by Bergdahl's family in Idaho, which has gone public with its own discontent with U.S. efforts to free their son. There is no way to authenticate the emails.
Some of Bergdahl's reported words read like a suicide note.
"I am sorry for everything," he wrote. "The horror that is America is disgusting."
He mailed home boxes containing his uniform and books.

Finally, in an article far too long to also provide a hard copy as I attempt to usually, the British publication The Daily Mail published this including the outline just three months ago on March 3, 2014, the day prior to the Russian invasion of the Crimean Peninsula:
- Did American prisoner of war abandon his unit? U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl faces accusations he walked away from his comrades when he was caught
- U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has been held captive by the Taliban since June 2009
- He is the only American to be taken prisoner in the Afghan war
- Bergdahl is said to have abandoned his unit a few months after arriving in Afghanistan
- He is believed to have been captured at a makeshift latrine
I will leave the judgment duties solely to you and not me. I do believe, however, you know exactly where my thoughts lie. We've been had, sold down the river to the Taliban and now Israel is in the greatest danger in its history. Having engaged in research over what foreign alliances are unfolding prior to the Russian invasion of the Crimean Peninsula and have yet to be able to find a means to host it over my blog since Google has yet to address this issue dating to the last week of March, I may have to complete it in the form of a Word document and attach it to its own article. What you will read in this is beyond frightening.
- Pentagon continues to try and have him freed
- Legal and military experts say he will likely be tried for desertion upon return to U.S.
- Under American law, his captivity will not be viewed as punishment

Wow. This is the father who appeared alongside Obama today. RT @bobbergdahl: I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners.
So, it seems Bergdahl's father is sympathetic toward the Taliban at Gitmo. That's fucking fantastic.
