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.

DAYHAM.. Does this mean no more blonde Valley *hurls prissing out to the press, lecturing us on jobs-for-ISIS?

What WILL we think, with having no youngsters like Marie Harf, insulting both the press and certainly her elders viewing it.

Those thick notebooks they flung on the stand, and used as a power prop for BS, would best be used on top of their empty heads while practicing their walking entries.

And search every orafice before they can leave the building.

Oh, gravity is very much at work. Fecal matter obeys gravitational imperatives, or more simply put, sh*t rolls downhill.

I do not envy Rex Tillerson for the job that lies ahead. Hercules had the task of cleaning out the Augean Stables, in which for every fork full of waste that was thrown out, two more flew in the window. Finally, by re-routing the flow of the rivers Alpheus and Peneus, to wash out the filth, the accumulation was at last flushed away.

Maybe today there would be environmental concerns for some folks, but those are swept away right along with all the other litter.

"Let’s give them all polygraph tests on the way out the door."

Not to mention body cavity searches.

Well, IMO, this is right. Start at the top. Remove the people at the top of the chain, protecting those down the line.

Once that happens, lots will leave on their own..."Work? And produce results? NEVER!!". That's fine with me, will save layoff severance pay.

The State Dept has wasted billions of "foreign aid" tax dollars in flea-bitten mudholes like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and other countries.

This sounds like your typical Clinton Greed gambit: much of the billions in foreign aid tax dollars are unaccounted for because a great deal of money was in untraceable bags full of cash.

Makes you ponder the actual amount that got to these dirt-poor places. Billions handed out based on the Clinton Greed angle....that Muslims turn to jihad because they lack economic opportunities and education.

Our tax dollars supposedly built schools and hospitals, based on cockamamie State Dept thinking that the US could win over the hearts and minds of the poverty-stricken locals.

These same jihadists are now pouring into the US plotting to kill us.

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

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: Hillary chaired the Millenium Challenge Corp---she handed out billions. Some of it in bags full of cash.

Demand Congress open the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). Demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.
