Trump Remaking State Dept to Reflect ‘America First,’ “DoS Officials Nervous”
Geller Report ^ | July 15, 2017 | Pamela Geller

The State Department is has long been compromised – State Department careerists work for the countries they are assigned to, not to America and that’s the problem. The State Department is the problem. We need patriots and freedom lovers in state craft, not Muslim Brotherood lackeys.

The left-leaning Hill are quaking in their jackboots declaring:

TRUMP’S WAR ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT

The Hill, July 2017:

President Trump is seeking to radically remodel the State Department in an unprecedented way, according to former officials from administrations of both political parties.

The administration’s efforts, which include a proposed budget cut of nearly 30 percent, a hiring freeze and a potential reshuffling of offices within the State Department, have left scores of positions unfilled, demoralizing the staff that remain.

Past GOP presidents have also sought to cut the State Department down to size, and even current employees have acknowledged bureaucratic problems at Foggy Bottom.

But some former officials describe Trump’s efforts as something unseen before — a war of sorts on the State Department that if carried out would leave it hobbling.

The place needs to be firehosed, sanitized and firehosed again.

If they need any infantrymen to go in and clear out this hive of scum and villainy, I'll volunteer ...

DOS made an unsuccessful coup against Trump. It’s ground zero for government corruption and has been for years.

Pres. Trump will not remake the State Department. At best he can force them to shut up for a few years. The Council on Foreign Relations is not going to lose its near-monopoly on State, Defense, and intelligence in one president’s terms. It will take a generation, or some kind of major conflagration.

While the hoses are out, start with a good coat of FIRE.

THEN hose down anything that’s “left”; quench that all with CLOROX, let stand overnight, then hose that away.

Won’t be anything left but a few empty, bleached cockroach exoskeletons.

Or maybe they learn to do more with less.

The plant I work at used to have 1600 permanent employees and several thousand temporary employees (special projects and construction).

Now the need to compete has winnowed us down to about 900 permanent employees and several hundred temporary employees.

And the plant actually runs better with less downtime.

I saw it firsthand, working on PSD team in Iraq, for these Anti-American Commies. For the most part, they hate America. But, there is one thing that they love about America. And that is.....

American taxpayer dollars to fund their lifestyles at their overseas postings, to give away to the 3rd world despots they fall in love with, their diplomatic immunity and ease traveling, the fact that they can use their postings to indulge in whatever lifestyle they choose to live.

That den of charlatans and thrives should be closed down and totally deloused. America is endangered by the Muslim Brotherhood appointees brought in by our Muslim president.
Remember Pres. Trump’s famous line, “You knew I was a snake.”

“The State Department is has long been compromised – State Department careerists work for the countries they are assigned to, not to America and that’s the problem.”

When I was working political-military issues in the Pentagon back in the early 90s, and worked with DoS personnel, it was common knowledge and my direct experience that state dept personnel in an embassy somewhere viewed their role as an “honest broker” between the host country and the United States. They never unequivocally advocated, defended or supported the US position.

Drain the swamp.

There is no such thing as ‘luck’. GOD’S PROVIDENCE will see PRESIDENT TRUMP through.
