I lasted eight days.
When Trump issued a ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries and all Syrian refugees, I knew I could no longer stay and work for an administration that saw me and people like me not as fellow citizens, but as a threat.
1. You fired, laid off or already had a job. You leaving was not a political statement. It was a matter of continuity of income.
You would have moved on no matter your excuse, trope or lie, as presidents regularly remove and replace personnel from a previous administration.
2. You are full of crap. There is nothing that differentiates this ban from the one issued under Obama, for the same “Muslim Countries” and you didn’t engage in your synthetic sophistry and moral preening then.
Duplicitous?
3. Why did Obama issue the ban to these “Muslim Majority” countries?
Because, we have no embassy relationship with them.
And why is that you ask?
Well, grab a tall glass of tea, you may be here a while.
With no Embassy relationship how are we to confirm a person is who they say they are, what their relationships are and the nature of those relationships.
Are they radicals or supporters of radicals.
We can’t look at their life and make some guess as to whether they will be good citizens, amenable travelers or on their way to kill someone,
Why don’t we have an Embassy in these nations?
Well, we Fk’d them up brilliantly.
We overthrew their leaders, participated in their assassination, destroyed their government infrastructure and bombed their people.
We made sure to sew chaos by promoting factional, sectarian and civil wars.
There is no government to get this information from or they really, really, really don’t want to be of any help to us, after all we’ve meant to them.
Here are the countries Trump has banned travel from: Let’s see, if you haven’t been an enemy of the United States since the 1970’s, we certainly made one out of you.
We overthrew your leaders and then bombed the Shiite out of your people, leaving you without a functioning government.
We can do all that but, Gosh Damn, we cannot restrict immigration from those same countries?
Syria. We invented Assad for whatever reason and continue to manufacture Bull Shiite about them?
We then arm Assad’s competition in a totally NOT secret operation, which continues to this day.
Why? WTF did Syria do to us?
How did we get to Syria?
Libya. We led from behind, using France as our proxy, to bomb the Shiite out Mohammahr Qaddafi’s country and over throw Mo.
Now, to be sure, I hated Mo but, loved them crazy ass outfits he wore and his hottie bodyguards.
Still, we bombed them, while running an illegal arms bizarre with Tripoli as our conduit for inflows weapons, which would outflow to our Syrian objectives.
Truthfully, we spent over 20 years bombing this place like a tail wagging a dog.
Yemen. Same effin deal. We Fk’d that up which, to this day, makes no sense to me.
We had agreements with Yemen to refuel at their ports and yeah, they bombed our US Navy Ship, The Cole. Okay, it was Al Qaeda but still.
Sudan. We held Sudan responsible for attacking The Cole but that backwater Shit hole continues to be failed state harboring elements of Islamic Terrorists.
Somalia. Speaking of failed states, this one has been a work as a lack of progress since the 1990’s.
Black Hawk Down?
General Mohamed Farah Aidid saw UN intervention, led by the U.S as a threat to his power.
19 US soldiers died and more than 1000 civilians were killed in Mogadishu as a result of Aidid and then we abandoned the place, so it could devolve even further.
Which brings us to:
Iran. We Effed that place up forever by helping to overthrow the Shah of Iran and what did we get? Ayahtollah Kohmeni, a destroyed US embassy and US citizens taken hostage for more than a year.
Iran uses all the states listed above as proxies for Terrorists world wide to base out of and plan their attacks.
You see, Iran doesn’t really have a conventional capability to enforce their demands. They do have the ability to pay for terrorists to act on their behalf and for that you need a willing partner to base, plan and operate.
So we have disrupting these states making it difficult to have reliable operations for Iran’s intentions, supposedly.
Chaos theory is why pulled that crap on everyone.
Get them fighting each other over their desires to establish a world wide Caliphate and who is going to lead that.
In other instances, you have morons fighting to control territory, with dreams of one day running a country.
Yeah right.
So, there you have it. We can blow you up and destroy your country but, we do not have the right to restrict immigration from these places.
So, you worked at NSC beginning in 2011? Well, then you where there when we began making war, promoting some spring fling in the Middle East and you would know about how we lead to people being get shot in Iran after promising we would come to their aid.
You would have known all this and that Barack Hussein Obama issued the very same ban for the reasons stated about and you would know that too.
Or did you give Barrack a pass because he has a Muslim name?
Pound sand...
Thank you for the informative post.
I just learned stuff!
But if the embassy in question is infested with Muslims, you can not believe anything they tell you anyway, because taqiyya. We certainly should not be trusting the Saudis, Indonesians or Pakis for that reason.
