23 High-Ranking Officials in Biden Administration All Came from the Same Shadowy Firm Founded in 2017, WestExec

Many of the highest-ranking members of the Biden administration came from the same shadowy firm. It is a relatively new name among revolving-door power brokers in Washington D.C., which makes it all the more surprising.

Founded in 2017, WestExec describes itself as a “diverse group of senior national security professionals with the most recent experience at the highest levels of the U.S. government. With deep knowledge and networks in the fields of defense, foreign policy, intelligence, cybersecurity, international economics, and strategic communications, our team has worked together around the White House Situation Room table, deliberating and deciding our nation’s foreign and national security policies.”

WestExec Advisors gets its name from “West Executive Avenue,” which the official site says is “the closed street that runs between the West Wing of the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. It is, quite literally, the road to the Situation Room, and it is the road everyone associated with WestExec Advisors has crossed many times en route to meetings of the highest national security consequence.”

At least we can rest easy that it hasn’t been President Joe Biden who has been calling the shots. But a closer look at WestExec Advisers finds that it manages portfolios for some of the biggest companies in the world, drawing concerns about private companies co-opting U.S. security and intelligence policies. However, WestExec does not publicly disclose the names of its clients, only describing them in broad terms.

The insularity of this network of policymakers poses concerns about the potential for groupthink, conflicts of interest, and what can only be called, however oxymoronically, legalized corruption,” The Intercept/American Prospect noted on WestExec’s influence. “The private sector can in essence co-opt the public sector.”

WestExec has staffed the administration with over 23 of its executives, who have sprawled out across the national security and intelligence apparatus. The Intercept and The American Prospect dug into these profiles, and some of the biggest names in government are among them, including:

Tony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State; Co-founder and managing partner of WestExec Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence; Principal David S. Cohen, Deputy Director at the CIA; Principal Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General; Principal Chris Inglis, National Cyber Director; Principal Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary; Senior Adviser Ely Ratner, Asst. Sec. of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs; Senior Adviser

WestExce isn’t a shadow firm, it’s the shadow govt that Zero controls.

You’re right in that liberals cannot compete with the hardcore socialists. Trotsky was an equivalent to the American liberal. He thought that continued government pressure and economic pressures could bring socialism about, without killing the masses.

Stalin showed him.

According to Wikipedia,
Under a financial disclosure filed by the Biden transition team in December 2020, Secretary of State nominee Antony Blinken declared that clients of WestExec included "investment giant Blackstone, Bank of America, Facebook, Uber, McKinsey & Company, the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, the pharmaceutical company Gilead, the investment bank Lazard, Boeing, AT&T, the Royal Bank of Canada, LinkedIn and the venerable Sotheby's". In a similar form, National Security Advisor-designate Avril Haines disclosed that WestExec had worked with data-mining company Palantir Technologies.
It's worth noting that the client companies are not necessarily stone-leftist and woke. Palantir, bor example, was founded by (among others) GOP donor and tech investor Peter Thiel, who supported Trump and spoke at the RNC in 2016.
