[ From October 15, 2015 ] Ted Cruz's Closest Counselors Are Neocons
The New American ^ | October 15, 2015 | Joe Wolverton

Posted on 02/15/2016 7:59:00 PM PST by true believer forever

There's a lot about Ted Cruz that should worry constitutionalists considering voting for the senator in the presidential election of 2016.

Recently, Infogram published brief but illuminating biographies of several of Cruz's key foreign policy advisors. The information disclosed in these revelations could trouble many constitutionalists otherwise keen on the senator and who rely on him to restore the rule of law to the White House.

The first person highlighted in the article is the chairman of Cruz's foreign policy team, Chad Sweet (shown).

Sweet's professional and political background betrays Cruz's claims of being someone who promises "not to continue going in the same direction" and to "bring power out of Washington, and back to we the people."

Infogram's biography of Chad Sweet includes the following associations, demonstrating that he is very much a step in the "same direction":

With a diverse background, starting as Director of the CIA, Chad Sweet went into the world of big banks - from Investment Banker at Morgan Stanley to VP with Goldman Sachs. He would then work for the Department of Homeland Security in the Bush Administration. Currently he is the Co-Founder of Chertoff Group.

EVERY major party candidate, especially Don Trump, has many and varied ties to Wall Street. Grow up.

The only difference is that with Donald Trump’s “ties to Wall Street” he has the strings in his hands, instead of having them in his back as the other do. Trump made is fortune in REAL ESTATE, not Wall Street finance.

It’s the difference between a puppeteer and the puppets. Just face the facts: Ted Cruz is a natural-born Canadian puppet of the New World Order, Christian Dominionism Branch.

Ted also hired the guy who was responsible for the awful David Dewhurst ads.

Yep, that is right. He hired the guy who did the bad ads against him in his senate fight.

Imagine that.

Sounds like Ted is a pretty smart cookie.

There is a difference in dealing with it and selling it.

Many times one must deal with persons or groups with whom they would rather not. That does not mean you approve of it and are selling it.

A neocon is a former liberal espousing political conservatism.

Hmmmmm ... that sounds kinda familiar.

Co-Founder of Chertoff Group.

Wow! Another fine individual. Insisted on shutting down Interstate 580 in the bay area to ensure his personal security when he went out to visit as head of GWB's newly formed DHS.

I don’t think you realize how hard I laugh every time one of the Trumpets post something like that. Seriously.

Since we don’t know who Trump’s silent partners are we really don’t know just who he is beholding to. He did do a deal with Soros so George will always be there to bend Donnie over a barrel.

Cruz is another career politician with many questionable ties. And he’s Canadian.

His closest advisor is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

He made his real estate fortune by being in bed with Wall Street finance. He is the ultimate Wall Street insider.
