Tulsi Gabbard is of Polynesian heritage/lifelong influence (father is American Somoan). To me, this is helpful to understanding Tulsi Gabbard's belief system.
In Polynesian culture transvestites are an accepted part of the community. I witnessed how common this was when I was in Tonga and New Zealand. These he-she's seemed to be everywhere, especially late at night preying on the unfortunate, inebriated, and stupefied. It was creepy and disgusting. Hawaii itself is very liberal and the Polynesian influence cannot be ignored. Albeit, for the times I was in Oahu and the Big Island, I never saw the same.
Tulsi Gabbard was home schooled and raised in according to the teachings of the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) and its spiritual leader, Chris Butler. SIF is grounded in Hinduism, but Butler has asserted that SIF philosophy of Bhakti yoga "does not conflict with Christianity, with Islam, with any bona fide religious system. In other words, SIF 'agrees' with the one world religion that globalists are espousing. Gabbard accepted Hinduism as a teenager and has admitted Butler's work still guides her. No wonder she is reluctant to talk about SIF publicly. Even her name 'Tulsi' is the name of a Hindu goddess. Gabbard also lived in the Philippines for 2 years and attended an all girl's missionary school. I find this to be somewhat of an outlier. Was it part of the SIF? Or was it a CIA related?
Gabbard is for one world government, pro-abortion, anti-2nd Amendment, and pro- United Nations. There is not one Polynesian nation/territory/State that strays from these policies Gabbard has. Her history seems to bear this out. She joined the National Guard in Oahu while she was serving in the Hawaii State legislature. That's rather odd I think, especially in doing so appears it tends to 'pad' one's resume for political purposes. Was Gabbard being advised by a coach (handler)? It's a well established prerequisite for anyone preparing to be a career politician to have 'military service' on your resume. And as you will see, being an elected State representative got her noticed and she was soon 'fast-tracked' in the military.
Gabbard thought the Hawaiian National Guard was a 'safe' route to take, except her unit was deployed to Iraq. She spent 12-months in Iraq as a 'private' ranked enlistee and was stationed in a medical unit. This means she didn't see the front lines, but may have seen some gruesome injuries. I don't know, but being stationed in a medical company is the safe place behind front lines. Is it a coincidence? No.
Because of her deployment, Gabbard chose not to campaign for reelection to the state legislature. This was only a pause to 'prep' her for bigger things to come. Next, Gabbard was accepted in the Accelerated Officer Candidate (OCS) School. Most people who are asked to be part of OCS are college graduates. Enlisted personnel like Gabbard, to enter OCS is uncommon. If it does occur from enlisted, the individual is considered an important asset and someone who has proven themselves over time. This was not the case with Gabbard. Being an elected State legislator certainly helped her.
After graduating from OCS, she is made an officer (2nd Lieutenant) and is sent to Kuwait as an Army military police officer. In a country like Kuwait, which heavily suppresses women, Gabbard somehow is one of the first women to enter a Kuwaiti military facility. On top of this, she is awarded for appreciation by the Kuwait National Guard. This appears to be contrived and having PR written all over it. The title of this could read-- "Tulsi Gabbard overturns a 1000 years of suppressiive Muslim tradition."
From there, Gabbard is peppered with military awards and promotions. She ends up being assigned to the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command, in June 2020. That's interesting. It seems to be a reoccurring theme with the deep state. Note, that she already made a presidential run in the democrat party and was from 2012 already a Hawaiian Congressional representative. Also, Gabbard was elected as vice chair for the DNC in 2013 for a 4-year term,, but resigned in early 2016, in order to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders.
This is very plausible. She ran before.
I don't think that is correct. Republican voters love Trump a hell of a lot more than your average democrat loves biden, cameltoe, hillary, newsome, etc.
So I think a former lefty who moves toward the center will pull more lefties with them.
I think if she runs as an independent, its a white hat move to spilt the left's vote.
