Susan Rice Unwittingly Makes the Argument Against Globalism
The Revolutionary Act ^ | 12/27/17

Posted on 12/27/2017 8:45:25 AM PST by Liberty7732

Last week, Susan Rice, former American Ambassador to the United Nations and former National Security Adviser to President Obama, wrote an article in the New York Times regarding President Trump’s newly unveiled national security strategy. Although she intended to derail President Trump’s foreign policy, what she really accomplished was outlining the reasons why globalists like Rice and Obama should never again inhabit the White House.

From the start, Rice’s criticism of the President was thwarted by her utopic and naïve views as she suggested Trump was “dystopian” in calling the world “extraordinarily dangerous.” In fact, the only thing extraordinary is that Rice would suggest it wasn’t.

Zealously seeking to discredit President Trump, Rice aimed to cast him as some zealot nationalist with a Neanderthal understanding of global issues. She criticized the President for not drawing distinctions between Russia and China, for not mentioning the words “human rights” or “extreme poverty,” for not providing a specific plan to combat AIDS and climate change, and for failing to voice concerns for the global “LGBT people.” She went on to say that these omissions would inevitably serve to “undercut global perceptions of American leadership; worse hinder our ability to rally the world to our cause. . . .”

That Rice would believe she is in a position to even vocalize such concerns strains credulity. Lest we forget it was Rice and the Obama administration that provided the Iranian government, an organization known for its unfettered use of the cruelest forms of capital punishment in addressing homosexuality and gender transitions, $1.7 billion in cash so it may promote its nihilistic and oppressive assault on its citizens while fomenting terrorism throughout the word. It is also Rice’s foreign policy view that permitted interference with the rightful prosecution of Hezbollah for a myriad of international money laundering schemes it undertook under the flag of the Iranian government just so Obama and his cronies could protect his misguided Iranian nuclear deal.

And as for Rice’s concern about undercutting American leadership and credibility in the world stage, no administration in recent memory achieved that very dubious distinction with greater skill than the Obama administration. After all, it was Rice’s old boss who drew uncrossable red lines in the Syrian sand relating to the use of chemical weapons and then cowered away from enforcing them when crossed. It was the Obama Administration that left Israel hanging without its ally in the international arena, a move that made no credibility gains for the United States. And in Iraq, it was the foreign policy positions of Rice’s team that led to the withdrawal of American troops, leaving a massive hole to be inhabited by ISIS and its bands of murderous thugs.

Trump strategy reflects realism over Obama-Rice strategy

The fact is that Trump’s national security strategy heralds our basic understanding of human nature. It demands each player in the international arena represent its own interest, recognizing that in so doing, a foundation will exist upon which parties may meet as equals. And it recognizes the immensely stabilizing role a strong America plays in the international arena when it promotes justice between nations.

Even in Rice’s wildest misrepresentations, Trump would never negotiate a multi-billion dollar bribe to a foreign terrorist state like Rice and President Obama zealously did. Nor would any foe cross any Trump-drawn line lest it be the last line its leaders cross. Nor will any country be confused about the United States’ stand on an issue while Trump is President. And Trump will never be found weakly cheering others from behind.

And as for Rice’s dismissal of Trump’s concerns for human rights and personal liberties, this is the same Rice who famously repeated recitations of a fictitious story of a video to explain the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi just to bolster Obama’s chances for reelection. It seems that here, Rice is hopeful that her continued recitations of falsehoods regarding Trump will fool Americans. But Rice once again fails as she ignores the words spoken by Trump before the United Nations General Assembly, words I’m sure Rice would laud had her former boss uttered them:

We have it in our power, should we so choose, to lift millions from poverty, to help our citizens realize their dreams, and to ensure that new generations of children are raised free from violence, hatred, and fear…

It seems it is Rice’s already exhausted credibility that is being challenged, not Trump’s resolve.

In the spirit of fairness, however, I must admit there is one point where Rice was absolutely correct. She correctly recognized that President Trump’s foreign policy approach marks a dramatic departure from the plans of his Republican and Democratic predecessors.

And thank God for that.

Why isn’t Rice up on charges by the Great and Wondrous Robert Mueller, self proclaimed Ruler of the Subjugated World?

Conservative outlets continue to churn out poorly written articles with shaky phrasing, structure and grammar. This is, sadly, another example.

Leave it to the New York Slimes to once again give a pulpit to one of the criminal Soetero cadre.

Anything that Susan Rice does is done unwittingly.

Just an average day in the Obama police state---
"Susan the Sifter" gets her orders for the day.

"Susan, as you sift through the intel, get me something
damaging on Penguin books so I can shake them down for
a lucrative book deal."

"And get Harvey Weinstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."

"Oh, and Lois needs intel to target conservatives' tax-exempt status.
And don't forget the FBI files on Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer."

Her public explanations of the Obama-ordered unmaskings do not hold water.
Taxpayers demand Rice answer questions....and they want her to answer now.

<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask?

<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand down order?

<><> Why did Rice on PBS initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?

<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?

Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified? Why did Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she planned to collude w/ the Clintons to sell the intel to a foreign country?

========================================

Questions Rice must answer:

1. When did you request the unmaskings, and from which agencies?

2. Who in the agencies actually did the unmaskings? Please provide the written requests you submitted.

3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?

4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?

5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).

And thank God for that

Susan Rice knew she was lying when she went on FIVE Sunday morning mews shows and told the story of a video no one had seen causing the Benghazi attack.

They wittingly kept up that lie for quite some time when they already knew it was a lie before they started it.

We still don’t know who ordered the lie.

Rice does one thing good, she lied for Obama and Hillary. Other than that, she has zero accomplishments.

Unless Susan Rice answers OUR questions as to her handling of affecting classified intel the safety and security of Americans, her job should be in jeopardy


BACKSTORY—As of March 2017, Susan Rice (Obama’s Ntl Security Advisor) has begun a job as a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow in the “American University’s School of International Service (SIS).”....

The school elaborates: “During her residency at A/U, Rice will work primarily on her next book and mentor SIS students on careers in national security.”

A/U/SIS defines Susan Rice’s position with Obama thusly: ”She provided the President with daily national security briefings and was ‘responsible for’ coordinating the formulation and implementation of ‘all aspects’ of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy, intelligence, and military efforts.

American University’s School of International Service
4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20016
Phone: 202-885-1000

Talking Points: sever all federal funds to this institution while Susan Rice is employed there.

FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, John Brennan used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.....that led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting operations....

Not only CIA's Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as FBI director....and Loretta Lynch was angling for a USSC seat.

Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.

.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........

Thankfully, Susan's so stupid, her public explanations of her intel activities set her up for a precipitous fall.

Yes. I know this is an important topic, but equally (and perhaps more) important is the unabated lowering of the standards of written English in contemporary society and on Internet blogs.

Widespread ignorance of long-standing literary practices of good writing in the Conservative media is a serious problem. National Review is a rare exception, but otherwise, the Conservative media landscape is littered with the rotting carcasses of poor sentence structure and malignant grammar.

The entire Obama administration was unwitting. There has never been a less prepared aggregate of appointees than those brought to power by Obama. It is only the extraordinarily professional skills of Trump that is rescuing our nation from the throes of neo-Marxist Islam.
