While the lawyers representing Eric Ciaramella, the alleged “whistleblower” in the Trump impeachment fiasco, describe him as having spent his entire career in “apolitical civil servant positions,” the truth is that Eric Ciaramella has been involved in radical political behavior throughout his life — including his years at Yale.
In fact, long before he was digging up dirt with the DNC’s Alexandra Chalupa about President Trump’s mythical collusion with Russia, Ciaramella was involved in leading a protest over what he believed was the poor treatment of Bassam Frangieh, a radical professor of Arabic Studies at Yale. On April 15, 2005, then first-year Yale student Ciaramella dressed in all white to lead a contingent of ten similarly dressed first-year Yale Arabic students to the offices of the Provost and the President of the university to demand that the university provide an incentive to encourage Frangieh to stay at Yale. The students were unhappy because Frangieh had decided earlier in the school year to accept a tenure-track position at the University of Delaware.

How do these people rise to the top so fast? The Deep State is responsible for people like this guy. At a minimum I hope Trump will drain the swamp of these traitors that sit in a quiet corner looking for the next radical hire.
They are more than WILLING to do EVIL.....THAT’S why they rise so fast!
Bassam lovingly recounts “Abd al Rahim Mahmud, the “first Arab poet-martyr” just like gold star Paki Visa pimp Kahzir Khan’s devotion to Said Ramada, a founder of Muslim Brotherhood, who was Khan’s gateway to his sharia law fanaticism.
So he took the Biden thing personally hook, line, and sinker.
I'd like to read this 'dissertation' if anyone else can find it.
Eric Ciaramella, B.A. class of 2008. Russian and East European Studies major. Research on the perceptions of the EU among rural Italian residents.
How? I have a friend who works with ICE in the DC area. He was hired directly in as a GS-14! Why? “Because it’s DC and it’s expensive to live here, so they hire all of us at higher levels” he said. Waaaaaay too bloated at the top. I agree with earlier statements. Move every federal agency out of DC and spread it around (get rid of at least half - EPA, Education, etc). Best not to have all your eggs in one basket anyway should a disaster occur (like DC getting nuked...)
You answered your own question.
What do all these Dems have in common? Beady eyes and/or gay pedoface.
“How do these people rise to the top so fast?”
They generally push all the following buttons:
1) Self-selected elites in academia reward and recommend people just like themselves.
2) Self-selected elites in government hire and promote people just like themselves.
3) Better people go into productive work.
4) Better people do not seek power over others.
5) Better people do not consciously study and use Bolshevik techniques to service their ambition (total ruthlessness; perfidy, etc.).
The other dirty little secret of Federal hiring is that DC is the absolute _worst_ place to be.
The cost of living adjustment is not that high compared to other areas.
DC has a significant income tax for people who are stationed there.
The commute is awful—however it is done.
Of course the real cost of living is crazy high compared to most areas.
There are many layers of bureaucracy in DC, and many (in some agencies most) managers are affirmative action hires (and not very sharp which means they waste a lot of people’s time with stupid and wasteful tasks).
As a result the talent (think white geeks) in any agency is out in the hinterlands in low cost areas where a 14 is a better deal than being the Department Secretary in DC!
In most agencies morale is _much_ higher in the remote field offices than it is in DC.
The guy obviously has a bias and obviously worked with the Democrats and hated Trump. That he was truly “radical” is a lot less clear and not proven by the writer. Similarly, the details of what Bassam Frangieh was actually teaching at Yale, why he was denied tenure and why students protested aren’t provided by the author. Speculation takes the place of actual facts.
they find these budding little hitlers and groom them

Ever notice the emphasis that the education bureaucracy places on “finding a mentor”? They’ve been doing it since shortly after I got out of college in the early ‘80s. Mentor, mentor, mentor. It’s practically all you hear when it comes time to start looking for your first “real job” after graduation. In the boomer generation we’d call that “brown-nosing”, but there is not denying that it does help the lefties to identify eachother, and the male managers to target the attractive girls who are looking for an edge, and so forth.
Watching Spin Cycle right now. After awkward dancing around like nobody knows his name, Molly Hemingway just said Chiarella’s name. Now being followed by more awkward dancing. It’s really bizarre how this is being handled
That’s it, in a nutshell.
“Move every federal agency out of DC and spread it around (get rid of at least half - EPA, Education, etc).”
I agree. We could have a 95% reduction in the size and scope of the fed gov and see quality of life improve.
The Department of Education for example could/should be reduced to 152 people (Secretary, an assistant, and 150 other employees). All they would be used for is to process grant applications for STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics), Trades (plumbing, electrical, metal working, etc), and classroom technology improvements (computers, networking, etc).
All other aspects of the current department should be handled by the individual states.
The same reductions would also apply to the few other agencies that would remain, and imagine that the total fed gov workforce could fit into an average size office building in Crystal City.
