Trump Distracts While Tillerson Cleans the “Deep State” from the State Department

Over the past few weeks, President Trump has seemingly gone unhinged.  From Flynn to the attack on the MSM Fake News Media.  The airwaves are filled with Donald Trump being Donald Trump.  The media being the media is torn.  On one hand the elite hate President Trump and on the other his Presidency has been a boon to their faltering viewership. So they chase after Trump sparing with him and instigating his responses. This cycle of media instigation, Trump reaction, and the media spending the news cycle picking it apart has become a daily occurrence.

The whole spectacle begs one important question.  We understand why the elite media wants to attack Trump, yet why is the President okay with seemingly losing out on the nation knowing about all the progress his administration has made?

The answer is simple: His administration needs time to drain the swamp.  Years of a bureaucracy that has grown out of control has produced a “Deep State” of establishment loyalists that are set against Trump’s revolution.  So President Trump is the foil and no it is not by accident, but rather by design.  In the past week Trump has nominated a reformer to the head of the EPA, signed more executive orders, and started rounding up illegal migrants. Yet, no where else was President Trump’s distractions needed than at the “purge” undertaken by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at the State Department.  With all the noise in the media surrounding the various viewpoints concerning Donald Trump’s demeanor, Tillerson cleaned out the ultimate enclave of the Deep State, the State Department.

Last week the countless officials on the 7th floor of the State Department were fired after years of service.

“There was a powerful group of very high-ranking STATE officials that some referred to as ‘The 7th Floor Group’ or ‘The Shadow Government.’ This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records, and everything CLINTON-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries,” the FBI’s interview summary said.

That group, according to the summary, argued for a Clinton document release to be conducted all at once “for coordination purposes” instead of on a rolling basis as would normally be the case. But the “Shadow Government” did not get its way, and the agency in charge decided for a rolling release, the FBI summary said.

The war with the Deep State, which has no address is more important than any other battle.  America has been hijacked, not by a person, but by a culture of elitism that has infected many of its government offices.  Trump may appear unhinged, but most of it is planned in order to distract a more than willing elite media from reporting on the war to save America from the embedded left.

Rex Tillerson, Trump’s Pick for Secretary of State Offers a Very Different Sort of Foreign Policy

Donald Trump is a completely different sort of president-elect and by looking at who he has picked for his cabinet so far, he is going to be very different sort of president.  The latest rumors that seem to be much more than rumors is that Rex Tillerson, the 64 year old CEO of Exxon Mobile will be the next US Secretary of State with John Bolton as his deputy in charge of day to day affairs. In order to understand the Trump team’s vision for America’s foreign policy it is important to understand Tillerson’s background and connections.

Here is a brief overview of Rex Tillerson:

  • He is a 64 year old native of Wichita falls, Texas
  • CEO of Exxon Mobile
  • Owns 2.5 million shares of Exxon Mobile
  • Deep Connections to Putin’s Russia through his business dealings
  • Connections to over 50 heads of state by way of Exxon
  • Against sanctions on Russia

Although the following video is NBC/MSNBC/MSM it gives a pretty good overview:

With the Tillerson pick, Trump is reformulating foreign policy by acknowledging that Russia is a world power and is here to stay. This also admits that the US as uni-polar leader is a concept never became actual reality. Trump clearly sees spheres of influence and in many ways this was the way the world was prior to World Wars One and Two. By picking a business leaders that has extensive global business experience, Trump gains connections with the global community without the baggage of Foggy Bottom.

Trump likes winners, especially in business.  If someone is successful it means they can be trusted to do a good job.  We see this in his deference to military generals to fill key defense positons or which countries he admires as we see with his rock solid support of Israel versus the Arab states.  He admires Putin, not because he is a Putin puppet, but because he sees Putin as a successful leader.  Given Trump’s view of the world as broken down into good and evil with the muslim world falling into the latter, Putin makes sense as a erstwhile ally in the West’s fight aginst radical Islam. This is not dissimilar to Roosevelt’s working relationship with Stalin in fighting Nazi Germany and let’s remember Putin is no Stalin.

Tillerson brings instant clout to Trump’s administration and a direct connection to Putin, which Trump needs if he is going to reset global politics.  Expect Europe to become very jittery over this as the EU continues to roil over the continent wide populist movement.

What About Israel?

Not much is known about Rex Tillerson’s views on Israel, but pacifying Putin in a way that he sees Iran as a problem for doing relations with the USA, will be a good thing for breaking the growing stranglehold of Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah around Israel. The fact that the rest of the Trump appointees, including Deputy Secretary of State John Bolton see the Iran deal as a major flaw, it is probable that Tillerson does as well.  Clearly the Trump administration beleives that the best way to break Iran is to give Putin a deal he can’t refuse in order for the Kremlin to cut the Ayatollahs loose.
