Kelly Slater talks politics, Ralph Nader and conspiracy!
Last night was the official grand opening of the United States of America’s 2016 presidential election. The Iowa Caucus! And if you are not from the US/don’t understand what a “caucus” is that’s ok! Nobody does! Quite basically, both Democrats and Republicans go state by state winnowing their fields to get down to one candidate each and then those candidates bash into the general election and voila! A president!
I was glued to the television all night watching the returns. Politics is a fascinating game. I love each and every nuance, each and every turn of that damning page. Will Bernie Sanders smash the Clinton powerhouse? How far will Donald J Trump ride a wave of populist rage? Can Ted Cruz tuck any more smug into his cellulite? All of it. Every jot.
Of course the country should have something bigger/better/funner than a simple two-party system but it don’t, much to Kelly Slater’s chagrin. Listen to the man talk politics here and also about the global cabal! Do you agree with him? Do you agree with his nod toward a broad conspiracy? Would you vote for his presidency? Since he is not running, though, who would you vote for? Are you a Marco Rubio gal? Do those ears stir your loins?
It is great to watch Kelly talk politics but my favorite part of the clip is when his interviewer tells Travis Lee (I presume), “We’re in Hawaii. You can do what you want. It’s a free place. That’s what I love about this place here. It’s kind of very easy going.”
Chas said winnowing….
watching this interview….. https://www.youtube.com/wat…
here’s a conspiracy for you… the wsl and cia created the zika virus to help stop the brasilian storm
That’s gold!
Your post is illogical. You (rightly) trash religion yet you also reason as though the mighty Allah is sending down weapons from the heavens to ISIS. It does not matter what kind of ideology ISIS have (although their ideology is that of Saudi Arabia, a US ally). The reality is ISIS were given money, weapons & logistical support, not by Allah, but by the US-NATO-Saudi-Israeli-Cabal. If ISIS had no money & weapons, they could only harm a few people.
I don’t think it’s fair to ask Kelly these kind of questions when he’s watching the waves at pipe
Respectfully, prejudice is affecting you. Islamic empires existed for hundreds of years & they did not wantonly murder non-Muslims. Thousands of surfers visit Morocco, Indonesia, Maldives, etc, each year & receive only hospitality. ISIS are mercenaries fighting for a US-NATO-Turkey-Saudi-Irsaeli agenda. Watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Americans & Aussies seem to rarely acknowledge it was they that committed a genocide upon the native people of those lands and it was they that murdered millions in their Vietnam, Afghan & Iraq War. They rarely acknowledge how brutal & racist they can be. Diversity has existed for centuries in the Middle-East.
Just seemed like an informal chat, discussing topics, not really an interview per se, Kelly seemed to be just being nice to the “interviewer” nodding away at leading questions, wouldn’t read too much into it…
The Middle-East destruction is based on US foreign policy, funding & military supplies. It was US-created-Israel that started the wars in the Middle East, it was the USA that created the Taliban & Al-Qaeda and it was the USA that started a war in Iraq. If there was no Western interference in the Middle-East the place would definitely not self-destruct. Even if it did self-destruct, it would still remain none of your damn business.
Sometimes I forget how bat-shit crazy other surfers are and then I hit the comments on an article like this and it restores my faith. Preach Brothers!

Is the US Waging Israel’s Wars? http://www.counterpunch.org…
There are so many excellent videos, this one of the best: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Putting up a 3hour video on Derek Reilly’s, the Zionest pornographers clickbait website for sheep… priceless.
Regardless. Watch the video. And get Reilly to watch it also so he can work towards creating a better world for his children & their children.
The majority of people are simply like sheep; Derek Reilly a prime example. Anyone with one brain cell of real intelligence would deduce Israel was the probable planner of 9/11. Israel has a history of false-flag operations (example Lavon Affair); the US 9/11 government was top-heavy with Zionists & dual-US-Israeli-nationals; post-9/11 events followed the pre-9/11 official foreign policy agenda of Israel, namely, the removal of Saddam Hussein & the partition of Iraq, which the US Congress legislated with the Biden-Brownback legislation, which when opposed by the new Iraq government, resulted in the appearance of ISIS formed by terrorists held in US prisons in Iraq. The regime change agendas re Libya & Syria continued to follow the Israeli agenda.
You’re a moron, congratulations!
The US government, court & financial system is now run by the same Zionist Jews that probably planned 9/11. Yet the sheep continue to bleat about the Islamic bogey man while the USA rots from within. It seems like Kelly is part of the awake few. Try this video:

as a dyed in the wool liberal I cringe at this kind of vague, hokey, half-baked idealism. if you think voting for nader was a good idea and you also condemn the iraq war then you’re really uninformed. gore would never have launched that ill-fated war, but because nader siphoned off enough votes for W the tinhorn cowboy to win, we ended up in a quagmire that cost too many lives and squandered any good will we had after 9/11. it’s really that simple.
You sound like a Yank. The problem is the Jewish-Zionists that have controlled your government, financial & court system for the last 30 years. If you really cared about your USA, you would sincerely read my posts.
Sorry that’s kooky shit. Mate. #dismiss
Best you return to your surf, porn & drugs if you don’t understand how Zionists are running the US government & using US soldiers for their wars.

I will return to my evening meal and surf in the morning. Mahalos… #KookyShitRedux
I’m a pretty free thinker, but where’s Negatron when we need him?
you sound like a crank. and possibly an anti-Semite. if there were some Zionist govt. control conspiracy, why did the US make a nuclear deal with Iran?
the US did not make a deal to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. you sound terribly confused & misinformed. also, I am a semite so i cannot be anti-semite.
no shit, Sherlock. Nuclear energy. Does that clear it up for you? as for you being Jewish, sure.
The deal was about stopping Iran having the capacity to produce nuclear weapons. To quote Wiki: ” According to this framework, Iran would redesign, convert, and reduce its nuclear facilities…”
for Iran, the deal is about being able to harness nuclear power for energy; for the US and the rest of the world, it’s about curbing Iran’s WMD capabilities. but thanks for the lecture. also, we both know what we mean when we talk about antisemitism. how many times must you be obtuse? if you look beyond wikipedia and conspiracy theory videos you may form a more balanced opinion.
There is nothing more lame, weak, brainwashed & rhetorical than the ‘antisemitism’ accusation. My posts are about ZIONISM. There are thousands, possibly millions, of Jews who are against ZIONISM. I am Semitic (like Kelly Slater has Semitic-Syrian genes), have friends of many nationalities & races and have gratefully traveled the world & lived abroad. The last thing I am is racist. ZIONISM is an imperialist, colonialist, racist & murderous ideology. It has always been against a two-state Palestine-Israel and seeks to expand its territory in the Middle-East. If you objectively examined the real facts related to 9/11, all roads lead to Zion.
And Kelly boned Bar Refaeli. She’s Israeli
As for the historical European term ‘antisemitism’ (currently a misnomer since Palestinians, Syrians, Arabs, etc, are also Semitic), it was not without cause that Jews were, at one time in history, expelled from nearly every nation in Europe & the New World, despite their living in those nations for extended periods. Their expulsion was due to the same issues today, namely, their control of finance, money-lending & dirty politics. This ‘International-Jew’ created-cabal (which naturally has Gentile collaborators) created the Bank of England & the US Federal Reserve, which are private banks that lend money to the US govt for its taxpayer funded wars & other mischief. In 1999, this cabel deregulated the banking system, leading to the unresolved GFC & once small Wall St speculative banks becoming too-big-to-fail. US govt debt is now 94% of GDP. The Federal Reserve profits from this. There has been a costly war to the taxpayer in Afghanistan & Iraq & a Global Financial Crisis that impoverished many ordinary Americans but you seem to have done no research into or have any humanitarian concern about these grave & harmful events. Are you one of the privileged 1% or 5% who is benefiting from the Jewish-lead Federal Reserve? Is your plan to make Pipeline a private beach?
i’m gonna back slowly away from you, ok?
Semitic does not mean ‘Jewish’. How many times must you be wrong? Semite – a member of any of various ancient and modern peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including the Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs.
Anyway, why don’t you listen to these Jew people in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/wat…
not true at all. Self-hatred is a real thing indeed.
30 years? What’s magic about 30 years ago? Was there a day that the US was turned over to the Zionists or did it happen over the course of weeks? I was fairly young 30 years ago but I asked my parents about this power play and they don’t remember it in the headlines.
You can assume what you want about what Gore would and would not have done its irrelevant. Gore lost by less than 700 votes in Florida and if you know anything about the fuckery that took place in ole Jebs state during the voting process you wouldn’t be using Nader as a scapegoat for Gores loss. It was Gores failure to act on the wrongdoings in Florida and leaving it up to a judge to decide that cost him the election.
what could Gore have done, exactly? he had a legal team but it was a wasted effort with W’s brother calling the shots in Florida. Without Nader drawing off votes that would have in all likelihood gone to Gore it wouldn’t have been close.
If you want to blame someone for Gore loosing and ultimately in your head the Iraq war it should be Jeb Bush and not the people who voted for who they believed in. There’s nothing inherently wrong with what Nader voters did it’s the people who STOLE the election that are to blame. Al Gore sucks anyway as does your reasoning behind blaming Nader voters for the Iraqi war.
Some time ago either yourself or Derek (I think it was you) wrote a piece about conspiracy theorists. Link? I can’t find it.
Maybe this? http://beachgrit.com/2014/1…
Nope that’s not it. It was about how seemingly reasonable people lose all their credibility when they go on about whatever conspiracy theory is exciting to them. Also how the richest and most powerful people are the ones least likely to be able to work with other people to carry out elaborate plans for world domination. It was worded so well. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe someone else wrote it.
The official media & govt explanations are the conspiracies; just as MF scoring a 9.5 for a bottom turn at Pipe in 2013 was a conspiracy against King Syrian Kelly.
Righto wackjob
I don’t know about that, but the mindset behind conspiracies is fascinating. Typically, people who can’t handle that life’s big events occur quite randomly cling to conspiracies help explain the unexplainable.
http://conspiracypsychology… is a fun read now and then.
It’s generally people without a broad understanding of the world. Not much different to the idea of religion. There are a lot of poorly educated people with very limited experience of the world who have discovered the internet and seem to believe anything that claims to be the opposite of the “establishment”. A bunch of gullible morons. Lots of them, but gullible nonetheless. Anyone with a basic understanding of human nature/psychology, politics, economics, big business etc knows how difficult it would be to carry out any kind of conspiracy bigger than fixing a greyhound race. The world’s richest and most powerful people generally have quite basic personality traits. Egotistical, narcissistic etc. The very traits that make these people very bad at conspiring with similar people. They’re actually the least likely to be able to conspire.
Don’t know if KS knows how to swing a hammer? He is hitting nail pretty straight at11:03 to 11:42 min…
I haven’t got time to watch the clip, does he riff on chemtrails?
No chemtrails. Honestly, I didn’t think it was that bad. Interviewer dude asked a ton of leading questions and kind of manufactured some of Kelly’s statements. If I were in Slater’s shoes I’d’ve stopped talking about five minutes in.
I did enjoy when Slater cited Nader and Ron Paul as his political influences, since those guys are literally on opposite sides of the spectrum. Nader was Mr. Crusader-for-Government-Regulations, Ron Paul is a Rand gobbling lunatic who wants to usher in a hellish dystopia where money rules all.
yeah, my read is that Kelly’s not got any real political knowledge and isn’t smart enough to understand all that he doesn’t know. Kelly the surfer is amazing, but Kelly the activist is underwhelming.
Kelly always reminds me of Brian from family guy. His opinion of his knowledge is quite far ahead of his actual knowledge.
Note to self: know thy limits of expertise.
A more concise description of what I attempted to communicate…
Dunning-Kruger. Or, you only have to have a high school education in the surf world to be the smartest man in surfing.
Sometimes high profile individuals need to exercise more discretion and stick with what they know best. Especially in this modern era…
not to mention that ron paul is a racist/segregationist going way back. if you cite him as a political influence, you either don’t know what he really believes — hard to avoid, given the existence of that thing called the internet — or don’t care.
I had to spend a torturous day at a Kailua mansion with my father in law and a bunch of his rich as hell asshole buddies and listen to them extol the virtues of libertarianism. The best was the dickhead going off about how “entitled” our generation is, after all, he was a self made man, worked his way through college flipping burgers part time.
My wife pointed out that when he was in college tuition was free at UC schools, and that part time burger flipping doesn’t pay $30K a year these days.
I like the idea of libertarianism, but not the fake Rand Paul variety, where Jeebus still requires the legislation of morality.
