Robert Spencer: Champagne Time! It’s a “Bloodbath” at the State Department
Geller Report ^ | February 19, 2017 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 02/20/2017 11:32:30 AM PST by Lera

It’s a bloodbath at the State Department,” the New York Post hyperventilated last Friday: “Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.” In Donald Trump’s America, so much has happened so quickly to set the nation on a course decisively different from the one it was on during the regime of his disastrous socialist internationalist predecessor that this particular bit of good news was largely overlooked. But if a housecleaning at the State Department isn’t a cause for celebration, nothing is.

“Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs,” the Post tells us, and adds that this is “a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.”

Pop the champagne!

And not only that, but “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.”

Break out the hats and hooters!

We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them. Chief among these is the almost universally held idea that poverty causes terrorism. The United States has wasted uncounted (literally, because a great deal of it was in untraceable bags full of cash) billions of dollars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, and other countries in the wrongheaded assumption that Muslims turn to jihad because they lack economic opportunities and education. American officials built schools and hospitals, thinking that they were winning over the hearts and minds of the locals.

Perhaps they will be given parting gifts of Christopher Stevens dolls to remember the good old days, certainly they will be encouraged to reside outside the United States.

EXCELLENT first step in a long journey to DRAIN THE Nazi SWAMP at Snake Dept. It has been accumulating there for years .... DJT and his new Sec of State have a BIG CLEANUP JOB AHEAD at State....

a BIG one, expect several thousands of early retirements, outplacements, and straight-up firings ... to come soon....
to FINALLY CLEAN OUT THE Filth and create the vacancies to hire honest Americans with American values

one of the chief reasons USA is so hated in so many places, and so mistrusted in the almost all the rest, is because of the large Nazi, Arabist, and (since Obama) outright IslamoNazi infestation at Snake Dept.
GO TRUMP! DRAIN THE SWAMP ... and restore America’s honor and respect for our country again!

Moving less than a dozen people from the highest management jobs to slightly lower management jobs is hardly a ‘bloodbath’. They are still in the State Department, lying in wait.

top-floor bigs

These were folks at the GS-15 to SES level. In the DC area, that means their salaries were probably between $160,000 and $180,000.

The globalists aren’t socialists. They are oligarchs in masquerade attempting to set up the Platonist ideal of Philosopher Kings (themselves), and everyone else relegated to the roles the Kings choose for them.

Remember the Won being proclaimed as a great philosopher? This is gorge-rising level god (small “g”) worship. Read it at your own risk. http://theobamapresidency.journalism.cuny.edu/2009/11/06/the-philosopher-king/

But, since that will absolutely never occur, they will happily live with Master and Serf.

You WILL do as you are told and they WILL allow you to live as long as you are useful to them and their materialist beliefs.

Funny that, you’d think philosophers should know better since mankind has a very interesting habit of killing their kings and saying, “tough luck, Chuck.”
