It's A Bloodbath At The State Department
nypost.com ^ | February 17, 2017 | Daniel Halper

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

Having worked for the gov a short time it is unlikely she has a big pension. Shouldn’t some people sue her for her actions?

I see where the latest issue of TOS (The Objective Standard) has an article on “Vindicating Joe McCarthy”.

I haven’t bought it yet, but I’m going to very soon. That’s too interesting to ignore!

CA....

Thanks for the heads up. I asked the moderators to remove it so no one gets a virus.

I found the info at the Conservative Treehouse. Scroll down and you will see the wiki-leaks info regarding the Seventh Floor Shadow Government. It starts off with “There was a powerful group of very high ranking STATE officials...”

One need only think outside the box. I remember a whole bunch of air-traffic controllers that told Reagan they couldn’t be fired. How’d that work out?

In any event, I would let everyone know that investigations into sedition, spying and plotting to overthrow the US Government are beginning. That we will be pursuing the hardest penalties available to any and all teams involved. Now is your chance to come clean or submit your resignation.

Let them flush each other out. Send a few to club fed, a few more “disappear” in boating accidents and soon the message will be clear: We won’t tolerate treasonous bastards any more.

Thanks. Isn’t Conservative Treehouse great?!? I am always in awe of the depth of his analysis. There is so much there to learn!

Cheers,

You mean let the States actually exercise their sovereignty? I like the way you think.

Bingo. If not expressly forbidden by the Constitution, let's do it!

“I hope they sent these people out without any notice whatsoever.”

If Tillerson was serious, then that’s exactly what they did. I worked in HR, and when someone is let go, Security appears at the desk with an empty file box and basically says, “Pack up your shit.” Security watches the employee every second because one or two simple keystrokes on a computer can erase vital/incriminating information and data.

Mr. Security Guy then walks the guy to the car and says, “buh bye”.

Paperwork is dealt with the next day, usually.

The State Department has been filled with communist spy infiltrators since Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers were there in the 1930s. And likely before.

And Hiss was instrumental in setting up the United Nations. So what does that tell you?

Interesting! I hope that is exactly what happened.

Thanks, MayflowerMadam!
