Olympic mountain bike champion Nino Shurter could reportedly be censured by his superior officers in the Swiss army after baring his behind in front of the White House in Washington, DC for a photo posted on social media.
The Instagram picture of the 33-year-old, winner of a gold medal at Rio 2016 having previously taken silver in London four years earlier and bronze at Beijing in 2008, mooning alongside three team-mates in front of the official residence of the President of the United States, was accompanied by the caption “White bum for the White House.”
Tages-Anzeiger says that Schurter has since deleted the Instagram post of the photo, taken in December last year while he was travelling to compete in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in West Virginia, and in which President Donald Trump was tagged – although the newspaper itself has tweeted a copy of the picture.

Al four riders are members of the Swiss army, which funds their training, and SwissInfo.ch reports army spokesman Daniel Riest as saying: “Mr Schurter’s commanding officer will deal with the matter in a proportionate but disciplinary way.
“The cyclist may face a reprimand but what the punishment would be is up to the commanding officer and won’t be made public.”
He added that Schurter had apologised to his commanding officer and that previously he had an unblemished record.
Schurter, who is an 11-time world champion and has won the season-long World Cup competition on six occasions, said: “The photo was a spontaneous one. America is a magnificent country and I love traveling there.”

As an American I feel obliged
As an American I feel obliged to comment Trump will likely win 2020 again, and if that shocks you as a European, I’m sorry and feel somewhat empathetic to you…you have no alt media platforms to get unbiased news, just mainstream news owned by the bankers and NWO with a narrative to push. No 1A and anything against the narrative is deemed hate speech. You’ve been brainwashed without realizing it, convinced you’re on the good side of history. But don’t direct your anger at me, share it against those who rule over you for progress.
This literally happened two weeks ago.

So you get your news from alt media platforms which are extremely partisan and have no historical reputation as reporting the truth? Please remember when answering this that opinion is not fact and editorials are not reporting.
With regards to the bigot who you so actively support, do you share his racist, sexist, disablist, environmental destructionist views and policies? Or is it simply expedient for you – are you a rich white man who benefits from his taxation policies whilst maintaining a faux support for the working class?

It’s true: Americans just don’t get irony.

As a European I feel obliged to comment that whether or not Trump wins in 2020, he’ll still be a colossal bellend.
I’m also curious why you felt the need to weigh in with your election predictions and slights on our media, when this story has really nothing to do with any of that. Do you hang around here just waiting to defend his honour?

It is a sad reflection on the way our society is heading, in that everything has got to be politically correct and you are no longer allowed to have a laugh or fool around just in case you offend someone.
It is only a matter of time before the words ‘joke’ and ‘laugh’ are banned and removed from the dictionary.

Here is some good alternative
Here is some good alternative media sites that back up everything with facts not propaganda.
James Corbett “ Corbett Report “ “ propoganda watch “ and also check out many of his amazing documentaries .
Truth stream media make some great documentary films and topical short films . Again backed up by facts – documentation etc .
We are change are very good as well
and Jason Bermas is very good as well .
Richard d hall has done some great stuff as well .
but alas a lot of sites that show the truth get demonitized and taken off line and presenters demonised .
Trump and US politics it’s all a fucking sham a diversion. Federal reserve are in charge ,its does not matter who you vote for in the US .The wars go on the poor get poorer and more technocratic invasion of your lives gos on and you loose more and more of your rights to feed these muthur fuckers . Jeckyl island – Go do your research. Bankers ,oligarchs took full control .

Goverments always tell the truth do they . Is that why the MSM forget to tell you about the 4 billion dollars they have paid out to vaccine victims
oh you didn’t know that did you . Perhaps you should have done a wiki
what else don’t you know ? Quite a fucking lot I would guess if you sit there and watch then BBC BS.
Seriously , fuck me . This is the problem , people like you are the problem
here’s an example take a look or shut the fuck up .

Very suspicious that $4billion is (allegedly) the exact amount of your president’s slush fund for sexual harrassment claims… Coincidence? I think not.
(No I didn’t get that from the MSM, but apparently ‘some bloke with access to a webcam’ now counts the same as peer-reviewed, properly sourced reportage by professionals, so even I was told it by a squirrel in a dream it still counts!

You are very angry, are you getting some help for that?
I suppose seeing a conspiracy theory in everything will be very stressful.
While it is generally best just to ignore ridiculous rants. I do find the vaccine stuff particularly abhorrent. With many extra children getting preventable unpleasant diseases that will kill some of them as people peddle this unscientific nonsense.
In this case ‘people look you’ Xena, are the problem.
You will say I don’t know everything about vaccines, you will be right, but my partners degree in Immunology suggests she knows a lot more about this than you do. Or do you conveniently hide behind ‘you can’t believe experts, they might know stuff that doesn’t fit my conspirancy theory’.

so I just posted a link showing that US payed out over 4 billion dollars to vaccine victims .
What is the conspiracy, it’s a FACT .
I posted another link a James Corbett documentary on the technocrats who run Silicon Valley etc
whats the conspiracy about that ? have not even fucking looked at it, no you haven’t and your calling me a conspiracy theorist yet so far I’ve only posted facts .
So your partner has a degree in immunology ,so what. The US. still paid out 4 billion dollars to vaccine victims . What the job your partner does makes no fucking difference to that FACT.
Now if I said a man got fined for avoiding a facial recognition camera placed on a police van in London ,chances are you would call me a conspiracy theorist . You would be wrong .
https://www.publictechnology.net/articles/news/london-man-hit-%C2%A390-fine-after-covering-face-front-police-facial-recognition-cameras
so again another FACT .
So I ask anyone on here to please give up some time and watch this , it will make you angry may even make you cry . My dad died of brain cancer . Look at the comments just below the video as well . Huge cover up . Again this is FACT .

The trouble is one mans news is another mans conspiracy etc. So Xena will not believe what is written on RationalWiki, or won’t support any info that debunks Corbett etc, and we won’t believe most written on there. So I would suggest that let him marvel at knowing the truth and let him laugh to himself at the sheeple who blindly follows the MSM without us making anymore comment. And maybe he can reciprocate that to us when someone posts about climate change etc.

Be gentle on these people, they’re on a major sugar rush from eating all those red pills. Munching them by the fistful, desperate for something to change in their lives, without them having to actually do anything themselves.
That said, changing your life is very difficult, one of the hardest things anyone can do. But you can at least go for a bike ride, get some fresh air and perspective, instead of bing-watching daft YouTube videos.

Xena’s own link suggests that a massive 6,276 people have received compensation for vaccine injury since 1986.
That’s a phenomenal 190 per year.
In a country that administers 300 million vaccines per year.
1 in every 1.5 million vaccines therefore result in an injury requiring compensation.
By comparison measles alone will kill or seriously disable 1/1000 that get it.
Not a difficult choice IMHO.
