Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Champagne time: it’s a “bloodbath” at the State Department

Feb 17, 2017 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer

Break out the hats and hooters: the failed State Department establishment, which has applied and reapplied and reapplied again failed policies that have been shown to be based on false analysis time and time again (Poverty causes terrorism! Islam is a religion of peace!), is finally being cleaned out. May this swamp-draining long continue.

“It’s a bloodbath at the State Department,” New York Post, February 17, 2017:

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

The staffing changes came as Tillerson was on his first foreign trip — attending a G-20 meeting in Bonn, Germany.

“As part of the transition from one administration to the next, we continue to build out our team. The State Department is supported by a very talented group of individuals, both Republicans and Democrats,” State Department spokesman RC Hammond told CBS.

“We are appreciative to any American who dedicates their talents to public,” he added.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

Four top officials were cleared out of the building at the end of January….

      When this house-cleaning is done, maybe Mr Trump can re-instate all the pre-purged CIA, FBI and DHS manuals, and/or appoint Mr Spencer and Mrs Geller to give regular lectures on jihadist Islam?

        The day of salvation has come… the swamp is big.

        Changing the mentality of the world regarding the JIHAD DOCTRINE must be done starting at the top. People do not understand Islam’s essential doctrines of hatred, apartheid and jihad.

    Tillerson already met with the Israeli ambassador and will be going to Israel in the near future.

    Israelis were overjoyed at the Trump and Bibi meeting and press conference.

    Unlike the lame stream media here

    I’m former DOS with a law degree. The DOS dissent memo illustrated partisan-based beliefs (and way too much faith in NPR) instead of knowledge of current safety risks and comprehension of the words of the immigration benefits stay executive order. Several hundred of my former co-workers illustrated their inability to do their jobs (critical reading, knowledge of law, familiarity with issues in foreign countries, etc.) by signing on to it. There isn’t any house-cleaning Tillerson can do that isn’t fully needed.

      CT

      I disagree. All that needs to happen is a RIF with a year’s salary. Major corporations, RIF groups of people and then after a period of time, they hire back the talented ones. It’s an easy way to purge the garbage and it’s a way for the government to clean house.

      Thanks for the observations, CT. PBS seems to at least try to have some balance while NPR has none and spouts leftist drivel all day. Most NPR stations are on college campuses and play to their immediate audience. The most genuine things I ever heard on NPR were the Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk.

      And, thanks for your service to our country.

    “We are appreciative to any American who dedicates their talents to public,” he added.

    What a load of crap. Have you ever seen the salaries and pensions and other perq’s these clowns get, while doing all they can to undermine America the idea and America the country. You don’t get into the higher levels of the State Dept unless you have the blessings of the CFR, a world government cheerleader. Most of these positions are drawn from the CFR membership lists.

    “They came to Washington to do good. And in the end they did very well. For themselves.”

      Couldn’t agree more. This nonsense we always hear about from the talking heads about “so and so dedicating their life to public service” makes me nauseous every time I hear it. 99.99% of the time what they dedicated their life to is self service.

    Absolutely necessary! Too many are loyalists of the Obama Shadow Government! They would do anything to derail the Trump program of making good his promises.
    These are American citizens working against America in the State Dept. The sooner they’re gone, the better for our nation.

    The State Department gave China to the Communists.

    • Kepha says

      Feb 17, 2017 at 5:38 pm

      Much as I despise the Chinese Communist regime, I do not think it was America’s State Department that gave China to the Communists. It was a generation of Chinese intellectuals who came up during what we Westerners call the interwar years. They got theirs under Mao, for whose victory they worked assiduously, when his evil, odious wife Jiang Qing declared them “Rotten Ninth” (臭老九) and sicced the Red Guards on them in the Cultural Revolution (and of course with Mao’s own blessing).

      One of the important lessons we should’ve taken away from the “golden age of Marxism in Asia” is that the rest of the world isn’t clay in our hands, but has its own agendas, sensibilities, and aspirations (some noble, some base). W must be very careful to replace the hubris of a post-war liberal establishment with one of our own.

      Or at least reserve a table at Hooters.

    The Trump administration needs to purge the bloated government especially the DOS. Start with a clean slate and move forward. I don’t care how many law degrees are help by employees at State, but it doesn’t really matter.

    The DOS is polluted by Obama leftovers and sleepers.

    Fire them all and replace with people who put AMERICA FIRST. do not keep Obama appointed personal as they can still report back to him and other Democrats, as for the House and Senate best to jump on board with President Trump, otherwise this just might be your last elected job.

    T Rex Tillerson chewing some a$$e$. Drain The Swamp, it’s getting started big time now. Criminalize the muslim brotherhood ASAP. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP, PLEASE appoint ROBERT SPENCER to the State Department, at least as an advisor on the JIHAD DOCTRINE.

    Robert Spencer is perhaps the world’s leading authority on jihad.

  18. Carolyne says

    Feb 18, 2017 at 1:25 pm

    At lease Huma Abedin is no longer running the State Department.
