Was John McCain Executed for Treason?

John McCain’s memorial service saw Republicans and Democrats alike praise his candor and heroic service in the Vietnam War, while rebuking how Donald Trump’s brutish simple-mindedness has taken over the Republican Party.

Afterwards, Ohio governor John Kasich (himself an ardent Trump foe) appeared on CNN to talk about how the spirit of the memorial hasn’t carried over to the contentious Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings going on at the same time.

The media hit would have gone totally unnoticed except for a rather odd slip of the tongue by Kasich, where he clearly said that it had been 24 hours since John McCain was “put to death.”

Right wing conspiracy theorists have already detested McCain for decades, going so far as to concoct bizarre plots about his military record. QAnon in particular has had a grudge against McCain, referring to him as “No Name” and insinuating that the brain cancer that killed him was a faked cover story.

They also believe that Donald Trump is plotting a massive purge of his enemies, with unsealed indictments leading to arrests, secret trials, and ultimately the execution of those accused of treason.

So it’s natural for them to see Kasich’s obvious slip as “proof” that McCain was indeed tried for treason in secret and put to death – and that Kasich accidentally revealed a closely-held secret.

Shockingly, this major revelation hasn’t gotten traction in the mainstream media – because it’s completely insane, makes no sense (which side would Kasich be on in this case?), and since it was obvious that Kasich had a moment where his brain and mouth were moving in different directions.

To any functionally-thinking person, the idea of John McCain being secretly executed by a tribunal rather than dying of cancer is simply not plausible. But QAnon believers aren’t exactly known for putting their faith in things that are plausible.

What’s truly disturbing isn’t that they think McCain’s execution happened, it’s that they’re positively giddy at the mere possibility of a US Senator being executed in secret by the “good guys,” with no trial or no due process.

No matter your political persuasion, this is incredibly disturbing. A non-zero number of Americans are happy about the prospect of Constitutional rights being chucked out in favor of extrajudicial revenge killing.

John McCain served his country honorably and was a duly elected member of the Senate for decades. He was never investigated for any crimes, never tried for any crimes, and never even credibly accused by anyone other than cranks and conspiracy theorists.

A society where a member of the highest elected body in the land can be killed in secret by its leader for nebulous crimes and secret accusations is not a democracy. It’s a fascist dictatorship on par with Kim Jong Un shooting his uncle with an anti-aircraft gun, or Rodrigo Duterte’s motorcycle death squads shooting petty drug users in the streets.

And before that, it’s Joseph Stalin executing his generals and ministers by the score with the flick of a pen.

This is nothing that any freedom-loving person should find anything less than appalling. That’s not how America works. That’s not how ANY functional democratic republic works.

But this is the conundrum of QAnon – it’s a movement that claims to be peaceful and Godly, yet delights in the possibility of wholesale arrest, secret trial, imprisonment, and possibly even death of those it feels to be criminals.

Every time I’ve brought up this contradiction on Twitter, usually based around some operatically violent statement by either Q or a follower, I’m met with a deluge of derision.

But even if the people at the top of our government were indeed child-trafficking traitors as Q and his posse have alleged (and remember, not a shred of credible evidence proves that they are), the method of “eliminating” them is simply un-American.

We don’t round up suspects, try them in the field, and either ship them off to Gitmo or secretly execute them. And when we have done things like this, such as the extradition and torture of terrorism suspects, it’s backfired horribly on the country.

The war criminals of Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire weren’t listed on some secret “sealed indictments” list, then shot in secret. They were tried, with their crimes laid bare, and found guilty after being given an opportunity to defend themselves.

EVEN IF John McCain were guilty of horrific crimes, a secret execution with no trial would not be the way for him to be dealt with.

After all, a government like this, ruling by terror and in secret, could turn its claws on anyone else, no matter what they did or didn’t do.

Even you.

    1. Y the BS?
      Who’s throwing out law & order? With a last name like yours I would expect to hear you stout exactly what you’ve said.
      Our already CORRUPT systems are being cleansed. You nor does anyone else KNOWS actually what’s taking place.
      What fires r you stroking?
      It’s about time the citizens of this nation gets fed up with it’s corrupt media, businesses, bigphrama, doctors,gov’t agencies,banks, courts, schools, congress & senate.
      And just because u think someone’s record is golden doesn’t mean that it IS a fact nor does it make anyone who disagrees a ‘quake’.
      Stop demonizing people cause they don’t agree with U.
      It’s evil & ignorant. It shuts down dialogue & the ignorant or deceitful APPEAR smart to people who r not aware of your tactics.
      Don’t need to ask what motivates u ROTHCHILD.

  7. No Name did not serve this country honorably. He was a traitor as many who served with him stated. As far as him never being brought up on charges, many presidents and their admin protected him. He was tried, convicted and put to death. End of his story….but stay tuned….more to come.

  8. OK, let’s say McCain wasn’t executed. So, what shall we do with someone who sent millions to ISIS?
    Wouldn’t funding ISIS sort of get in the way of that whole “Swear to protect the US from all enemies foreign and domestic” thing?

  11. Too Funny! When it came to Kavanaugh hes guilty but when it comes to a Traitor_if proven) its not? Also, What You Intentionally Left Out-It Would Have Been A Military Tribunal & If You Have Understanding Their Not Televised. You Democrats & Anyone who has Done Shady Dealings with a Country Thats An Enemy of the U.S or at War With ie War On Terror, Those Involved are in for a Treat because the U.S has Been in a State of War since September 14 2001 issued by Congress. Wake Up Fools. Deep State Going Down

  12. Why should it be appealing?! Hearings and trials were held in secret and they should be. Military Tribunal hearings have taken place for months in secret. They have a lot of proof more than you think on McCain, Hillary and Obama and many more. Obviously, if they were found guilty of treason the penalty is death. Just like the death sentencs for murderers. Why is that ok? McCain, Hillary and Obama just to name a few have committed countless murders. The death penalty is justice!

  15. Don’t believe that McCain was executed?

    There is enough circumstantial evidence that hits just a little too close to home to chalk up to coincidence. For example, Q refers to McCain (No Name) in a June 30 post and says “Every dog has its day”. Then on July 25th, at 4:28 pm, Q posts that McCain is going to be in the news again soon. McCain dies on August 25th at 4:28 pm (exactly 31 days to the minute) and August 26th, when it hit the news, is “National Dog Day.”

    Come on! What are the odds???

    Then there was his bitterness toward Trump regarding his death and funeral. Very consistent with someone who didn’t get a pardon. And then he gets the same very, very rare cancer Teddy Kennedy got? What are the odds that two people out of a pool of several hundred get the very same disease?

    Yes, they let him go in dignity, but still telegraphing to us what really happened. Like I said, too much here to chalk up to mere coincidence, but we shall see. It is the only explanation for a post ONE MONTH TO THE MINUTE of his No Name’s death.

  17. You mentioned that we don’t live in a country where military tribunals go around and arrest people in secret and that’s true however because of the bills that McCain and Lindsey Graham put their names on it is now legal for American citizens to be arrested and held indefinitely without charges this hasn’t been exercised yet but I suspect it will at some point-I was born in 73 so I didn’t go to Vietnam I never saw McCain there but I have seen a half a dozen veterans who were with him claim that he did not behave in a heroic manner as a matter of fact his nickname to the Vietnamese was the “song bird”when he was shot down it was because he wasn’t following orders and staying at the appropriate height he had already wrecked two military airplanes from careless behavior – if his father hadn’t been an admiral I’m sure he wouldn’t have been allowed to fly again-and he’s also the single reason that a bill wasn’t put into effect so that America could make a genuine attempt to get her missing soldiers back from Vietnam and retrieve for the families the remains or possibly even still living-there are only two sides in the government at Washington and it’s not right and left its globalist one world government and doesn’t know about it yet McCain was firmly in the globalist camp with George Bush the clintons the obamas the illusion of Republicans and Democrats is to keep us divided-Google US politicians talking about the New world order and you’ll see every one of them speaking extensively about it overseas just doesn’t play on the domestic television McCain is a big part or was a big part of the tearing down of America- and he’s no more a hero than Bush cult or the Clinton crime syndicate- they are on the same side-by-side -A new world is dawning… please report to the nearest FEMA camp

  18. “We don’t round up suspects, try them in the field, and either ship them off to Gitmo or secretly execute them. ”

    You’ve obviously never heard of The Chicago Police Department.

  19. There is a good old boys system at work here, the reason McCain was denied due process, is because McCain (as did Bush Sr) chose Execution versus a long drawn out trial and ten years in prison before the execution is carried out, confronted with the evidence, in my opinion is he wanted to save his Family Name and Legacy whatever that is. What is the odds of– McCain, Bush, probably Ginsburg all gone relatively recently, if Hillary and or Bill Clinton get sick; the logical conclusion is that the Trump Administration (or the Military that controls Trump) is cleaning house.

  20. I’ve heard of Q before and always thought it to be ridiculous, and a “larp”. This is the first ive ever heard of this theory on McCain’s death. I dont know enough to say I believe it, it does sound kind of out there. But why are you insisting that “Q” meant that he was put to death WITHOUT a trial? If they were going to execute him in secret (again I don’t believe this), wouldn’t they likely have evidence of wrongdoing and arent there methods existing to put him through a secret trial?

  21. Agreed that it is not plausible that McCain was secretly executed. Then again, it is not plausible that some one of high intelligence would refer to his passing as being “put to death” on a national broadcast.
    That is no theory. We all witnessed him say it. You can throw plausibility out the window. When you talk about the U.S. Government, everyone on the outside has zero facts to understand what really does or does actually take place.

  25. it’s funny how you end your story, if they can do it to them, they can do it to “even you” What about the spying and attempted coup on President Trump ?? IF THEY CAN DO IT TO THE PRESIDENT, THEY CAN DO IT TO YOU !!!!!!!!

  26. didn’t believe one single iota of it either. Really, this is way too far out.
    But then again, I see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5pjpLiw30M
    His daughter, why is she stating ‘my father, you can’t kill him again but whatever.’
    That’s a pretty weird statement from someone who lost her father.
    Either she has a very strange sense of humor, or she’s bitter about something,
    or I’m just guessing, of course, hahahaha.
    Anyways. We’ll probably never know anyway, if these things are either kept secret, or never actually happened. ha! now that’s logic.

  27. HIs own daugher had a slipup on the view, in context she was talking about Trump “hurting” people and said “my father, you cant kill him again” clip in link

  28. Don’t be a moron. They’re obviously presuming that the TRIAL was done in secret. Nobody is presuming that John McCain was just summarily executed. Ignoring obvious things like that is what reveals you are an anti-Trumper who believes whatever the Democrats tell you too.

    But Trump wouldn’t have done that. Trump doesn’t even move to punish real fascists for arbitrarily discriminating against his own supporter base based on their political side and their religion.

    If McCain was executed by anyone, it was his fellow leftists who afraid that he might do or say something that would expose them in some way.

    Of course, McCain likely was put to death, by the way. Cancer doesn’t typically just take you like that. At some point, people like McCain tell the doctors to pull the plug. That’s probably what happened, only they probably made a whole event of it.
