The State Department's broken, but Trump didn't break it...


Oh, it's so broken, the US State Department like the rest of the ''Deep State'' unelected Bureaucrats are active enemies of the American people and constitution. From Ex-CIA Bin Laden hunter Michael Scheuer's blog, http://www.non-intervention2.com;
U.S. diplomats are among the republic’s worst enemies
Posted on November 17, 2019 by admin
The televised impeachment hearings this past week will be very useful for the American people. What each witness said will help the citizenry understand part of the reason why the United States gets into so many wars — U.S. diplomats side with foreign leaders — and why their taxes are spent and wasted in foreign countries, and always are channeled to the local favorites of the Democratic party, particularly to George Soros’s network of subversive, anti-U.S. organizations.

Posing as a demure, Shirley Temple-like innocent, the fierce Democratic partisan Yovanovitch, in particular, explained this to Americans. After preaching to the committee that no government should be allowed to interfere in the elections of another country, she admitted under oath that neither she nor her embassy staff made a single attempt to stop either the then-Ukrainian government’s long and vicious campaign of public attacks on candidate Donald Trump, or its creation of the false evidence which it provided to the FBI to nail Paul Manafort. I wonder how much of a gratuity she got from George Soros and/or Hillary Clinton for doing nothing to protest the pro-Clinton, Ukrainian government’s rhetorical and material intervention in the 2016 election? Yavanovitch also is reported to have arranged the electronic monitoring of U.S. journalists working in Ukraine to investigate the crimes there of the Clinton Foundation, Burisma Energy, and the flamboyant and hysterically inept Biden criminal family.

A few other points about the hearings are worth noting:

–Taylor (who worked for Soros-funded groups), Kent, and Yovanovitch provided no information about improper behavior by President Trump. They did, however, present endless and self-aggrandizing personal views about how U.S. foreign policy should be conducted, as well as their intense resentment of the President for not agreeing with, and following in an unquestioning manner, their sage advice based on long experience. They also resented the President and his advisers for ignoring “inter-agency policy agreements” on which of his policies should be followed and which to ignore. In short, these three senior time-servers were claiming that only senior bureaucrats, rather than the constitutionally designated elected official, ought to formulate and manage U.S. foreign policy.

In my own experience, the inter-agency process is designed for only one purpose, and that is to prevent the full and immediate application of policies that the president has directed to be pursued. During the Soviet-Afghan Communist-Mujahedin War (1979 to 1992), for example, only CIA and NSA reliably labored to implement President Reagan’s policy of driving the Red Army from Afghanistan. The State Department led the effort of other agencies to slow-roll or derail Reagan’s orders in order to protect the Democrats’ beloved Gorbachev and his barbarous Soviet regime. This resistance to Reagan also wanted to provide weapons not to men who would kill Soviets, but to Afghanistan’s Gucci guerrillas, corrupt men who wore suits; talked a lot, often in English; ran heroin internationally; and fought not at all.

–This loathsome diplomat threesome also underscored the enormous difference between Trump’s “America First” foreign policy and their “Ukraine First” foreign policy. Not one of the diplomats could find fault in anything the Ukrainian government wanted U.S. taxpayers to finance. Indeed, they were upset that working stiffs in the United States have not been forced to fork over more of their taxes to help Democratic-allied diplomats like themselves to pal around with the generally corrupt Ukrainian elite, while allowing the latter to stuff their private bank accounts with U.S. tax dollars. This sort of behavior is common to all U.S. diplomats and especially those of ambassadorial rank. They do not represent the republic, but rather the foreign government to which they are accredited. For these people, who are falsely identified as loyal U.S. ambassadors, America is never right and never, ever first. Once installed in a foreign capital, they are the ambassador of the local government – rich, poor, democratic, authoritarian, or tyrannical — in its unending campaign to extort as much money, military assistance, loan guarantees, and other booty from the U.S. government and people as possible. They also actively belittle the president to local government officials and political leaders and assure them it is safe to ignore what he says. Overall, U.S. ambassadors are a lethal, anti-U.S. cult of the savagely self-interested.

–The only true thing that these three sad hacks had to say must have almost caused Schiff’s blood to shoot out of his ears. First, Kent somehow allowed himself to tell the truth, acknowledging that the Ukrainian energy company Burisma is deeply corrupt and that both it and Hunter Biden should have been investigated. Then Yovanovitch slipped and told the truth. She clearly acknowledged to a questioner that she had been briefed by Obama’s gang, before her Senate confirmation hearings, about the increasingly strong stink of corruption that was hanging over Burisma and the drug-using, tossed-from-military Hunter Biden and his father. Obama’s pukes also advised her on what to say and how to deal with the issue in her hearings and during her tenure in Kiev. Interestingly, when asked if the Obama briefers who had prepared her for the Senate hearing had supplied her with the same kind of data about the innumerable number of other deeply corrupt Ukrainian companies, which the three diplomats already had said threatened U.S. interests, Yovanovitch puased for a moment, searched her memory, but could not remember any such data, probably because there were none.

Schiff’s farce will continue for at least another week, but it is now clear that the three star witnesses struck out, and that there is nothing that can be said by those remaining in the parade of clownish witnesses – unless one or more decides to commit perjury — that merits even a passing thought of impeachment. The most positive thing to come out of the hearings so far is the reality of how abominably the U.S. citizenry is served by their State Department and its diplomats. Indeed, the three witnesses made it clear that they are operating to serve the regimes to which they are accredited and themselves. In all cases, the republic, in their view, can take the hindmost

I am being harsh here on U.S. diplomats. My views, however, are shaped by experience. The U.S. ambassador in Saudi Arabia – with his intelligence adviser, John Brennan – worked tirelessly with CIA chief George Tenet, in 1997-1999, to stop all attempts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. All of them feared the Saudis would be angry at America — and end their payoffs? — if an U.S. attempt to eliminate bin Laden was successful. Earlier, in the mid-1990s, the U.S. ambassador in Qatar and Clinton’s so-called “terrorism czar” forbid the execution of a CIA operation to try and capture an al-Qaida ally named Khalid Shaykh Muhammad. These founts of wisdom asked the Qatari government to arrest the man and turn him over to U.S. authorities. The Qataris snapped to attention and acted immediately — by warning Khalid Shaykh Mohammad and allowing (helping?) him to escape from Qatar without a trace. You may recall, that this fellow – more commonly called KSM – was later to be the operational commander of the 9/11 attacks. Such is traditionally the type of disasters that the State Department and its ambassadors are ready to inflict on their fellow citizens so long as can they keep their host regime happy, and probably their own bread being buttered by the foreigners..

The information in the foregoing paragraph is, of course, well-documented. The verifying documents can readily be found in the archive of the 9/11 Commission. I know this because I hand delivered them in a fat, three-ring binder — double-wrapped for security, of course — to the head of the Commission. For some reason the validating papers in the archive have not yet been published for the review and education of the American people. I believe that the citizenry would find the archive’s papers quite informative. Indeed, they might be so convincing as to make the republic’s collective trigger finger pull, pull, and keep pulling, and so begin to eliminate those who are torturing, fleecing, and deliberately killing the republic, its economy, its laws, its liberties, its cohesion, its children, and its religion.

President Trump, please release those papers. Time to let the cards fall where they may.

I've been expecting you. We get into wars mostly for political reasons. In Vietnam, we were trying to stop the expansion of Communism everywhere. Putting a small amount of money into it was a waste of time and money, but it was small potatoes before LBJ. Spending a lot of money, and many thousands of American lives, was idiotic.

Iraq is another example. Cheney, who was running the country for the most part, was PNAC. That's the Project for a New American Century, and they pretty much wanted to conquer the world. Idiots.

The job of the State Dept is to carry out the policies of the administration. You are saying the tail was wagging the dog, and most of the time, the idea is hilarious. The rise of empire diminished the influence of State.

This is what this is all about; conquest, aggression, and war and domination.

Nothing ''Progressive'' about you or about the background story challenged Mrs. Warren, at all. I am well documented on PoFo as a National Bolshevist with traditionalist roots you'd consider ''reactionary'' I'm sure. But that's another story.

If that's Right wing, sign me up.

Ending capital punishment has nothing to do with the topic of progressivism, or traditionalism. Capital punishment saves civilization from chaos, crime, and corruption. Some people who receive capital punishment are murders themselves. If capital punishment ceases to exist, then people would be killing each other in a criminal manner, so either way people will be getting killed - Via capital punishment, or street violence. Street violence is unpredictable, and humans are nasty. I would rather have capital punishment, then have criminals roam around freely killing random people.
Eliminate mandatory minimum sentences,

This is anarchist leaning, and has nothing to do with progressivism.
medicare for all,

To prevent socialist politics. The Confederate Empire of Germany also attempted to do this to prevent socialist politics.
end private prisons,

In terms of consequences, there are no differences between "private" prisons, and nationalized prisons.
raise taxes on the wealthy,

To prevent socialist politics.
paid leave,

The quantity of labour has nothing to do with progressivism. The more people work, the more wealthy a civilization gets.

Yes, Obama was a master of directing US taxpayer funds to leftist NGOs. I wonder how much of that Trump has undone. I wonder how much of the US government's propaganda efforts he's bothered to undo. Hell, even the NEA was used as a CIA front for propaganda purposes. There's just so much waste.

Yeah, that's why the Democrats highlighting these people is confusing. First, they have had no contact with the POTUS whatsoever, they know of no impeachable offenses, and their performance isn't exactly awesome.

This is the thing that I find most bizarre. The best case I think for impeaching Trump would be waging war in Syria without Congressional authorization, UN authorization or as part of a NATO exercise. Yet, Congress is criticizing him for not doing enough, criticizing him for withdrawing troops, and yet never created a specific authorization to use force in Syria.

Obama toppled the government of Libya and attempted to do the same to Syria, resulting in the largest refugee crisis since WWII. Carter didn't do a big war. True. He gave away the Panama Canal, watched Samoza get overthrown, watched Saddam Hussein take power in Iraq, watched Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini take power in Iran, watched the Soviet Union invade Afghanistan, and so on. He was a great spectator.

You loathe liberals for the same reason I do. They profess to be these people defending certain principles. They don't. They are racists, but accuse the right wing people of being racists. They are sexist, but they accuse etc. A bunch lying hypocritical pieces of trash.

You either are for truly committed transformation of a just society between human beings or you pay lip service to all those claims of justice and equality.

They wind up paying lip service.

The other conservatives? They never claimed all these 'lofty' ideals. Can't expect anything from people from the Right, if they never said they believed in any sort of equality in the first place.

If you boil down the problem with the society Annatar14? It is basically not being committed to a set of values and principles that emphasize what makes society function in every way. Cooperative spirits, service, and being willing to serve, being creative and knowing how to support, give and spending time on helping the many. Finding connection and cultivating it.

1) Fiction. Read the oath..

2) While there is no question State had problems, Trump has degraded it to the point where it is a wreck.

"Over 200 former U.S. ambassadors are ringing the alarm about a "crisis" in American diplomacy and the urgent need to restore its power and influence in U.S. foreign policy..."You try to cut [the budget] by one-third, you see an exodus of senior officers, you don’t fill positions — this is abnormal. We have never seen anything like it."..The redesign "was actually gutting the State Department," said Amb. Nancy McEldowney, the former director of the Foreign Service Institute, which trains U.S. diplomats. "It became more and more clear as we saw the ramifications of what [Tillerson] was doing, just how damaging, just how destructive those reforms were going to be."
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/alarmed ... d=54094907

3) IOW, you were wrong.

4) Using a foreign power to help win an election is the primary reason we have impeachment. That was the top concern of the Founding Fathers.

5) Comey talking about the investigation is one of the big reasons she lost. That violated JD policy, his action was not approved, and it's plain as day that it would hurt Hillary. You babble.

6) He never does.

7) I haven't said a word about Trump's decision to assist Ukraine, or Obama's decision not to. The problem with Trump's move is that if Russia responds aggressively, what do we do then? Because Putin could easily overwhelm the Ukraine army. Because this is Trump, nobody is talking about it. How far are we willing to go the next time Putin gets pissed?

Before Obama was ever elected, I said he was too cautious, and too conservative, to get done the things that need doing. You can make a good argument that he should have responded more aggressively. But, as I pointed out above, once you go down that road, you are closing off more diplomatic overtures. The problem here is that this is enormously complicated, and Putin has been getting more aggressive, which changed the nature of the problem, as time went by. It deserves it's own thread, and honestly, the denizens here are really not up to a serious foreign policy discussion.

8 ) We owed Europe for their assistance, and their price was getting rid of Ghadaffi. It was a bad idea, and it turned out badly. But this sort of thing happens occasionally with multi-national alliances.

Syria was torn apart, a number of countries ripped it apart. This goes back to a pipeline deal. It's complicated, but it wasn't all that hard to start a civil war there. Not saying we are blameless, but ignoring all the other players is silly, to put it mildly. One of those players, perhaps the most important, was Big Oil.

Carter didn't give away the Panama Canal. The treaty expired. The implication is we should have overthrown the government to hold onto the canal. But there wasn't a good reason to do that.

Somoza was a dictator, a monster, really. Good riddance.

Bush 1, in the CIA, played a role in helping him gain power. The previous ruler of Iraq was an ally of Russia, and the warhawks wanted Iraq to go to war with Iran, purely for revenge. Carter wasn't a hawk. This is a good example of why I don't like Realpolitik.

The Shah was a dictator. After we had a number of foreign affairs disasters, like Vietnam, the country simply didn't want to impose another dictator. The mistake was shoving a dictator down Iran's throat in the first place.

Getting Russia to invade Afghanistan was Brezninski's idea. We weren't watching, we made it happen. Another reason I don't like Realpolitik...

I didn't want to respond to the rant at the end. But it was so close to completely wrong, I felt I had to.

You can lie all you want. But Trump appointed a fair number of the people you are whining about. Diplomats are nonpartisan, and some of them were appointed by other Republicans.
