Anthony Blinken is a highly political operative, now the figurehead and public face of the U.S. State Department. However, the Dept. of State is an independent bureaucratic system inside the U.S. government that is outside the control of any functioning governmental process. Essentially, the State Department is the U.S. branch of the United Nations, and they act unilaterally exactly like that.
The unelected operators, bureaucrats within the Department of State (DoS), make U.S. foreign policy from within the executive branch. There is a pretense promoted by media that the executive branch, specifically the President of the United States, is controlling the internal mechanism of the U.S. State Department, but that’s a ruse. If it were true, the State Department would act like they had accountability to someone or something; they do not.
The modern U.S. State Dept is an independent, bureaucratic, and massive foreign policy institution that does not accept any oversight. They are able to accomplish their independent position by partnering with intelligence agencies. The Dept of State use the U.S. Intelligence Branch as a weapon against any individual or entity who would attempt oversight.
When a Secretary of State is appointed to the role as head of the agency, the arbitrary nature of the institution around them is accepted. In the modern political dynamic, the Secretary of State position is customarily given to a key political figure by the President as a payback or compensation for support. The SoS then uses their position for leisure, personal graft, a life of indulgence and a position to repay the interests of their tribe.
During any Democrat term in office; and in addition to funding the family of the President who appointed them; as long as the Secretary of State appropriately and adequately funds the members, families and friends of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, then they are perceived to be doing their job correctly. The SoS keeps that institutional mechanism working, and in return the unilateral operations of the department are supported.
[Reference – Former Senator John McCain did not like Anthony Blinken because the Arizona senator feared Blinken would tilt the DoS coffers in favor of the Clinton syndicate. Cindy McCain was not about to take a position in line at Tiffany’s behind Chelsea; this became an issue between the two dynasties. Mitch McConnell replaced McCain with Mitt Romney]
Foreign countries know how the nature of the position has evolved, and they no longer respond to the U.S. secretary of state with any level of respect.
From the perspective of foreign governments, the Secretary of State is, for all intents and purposes, irrelevant. Any conflict between their interests and the U.S. state department is like getting a strongly worded letter from Lindsey Graham. And therein lies the problem when a major international crisis erupts, and the Secretary of State is in the global spotlight.
To prevent a harsh public perspective against Joe Biden’s State Department appointee, the guardian of the DC swamp gates, Chris Wallace is called into action:
Cue the violins – Next time I hear somebody ask why? Why, I have two answers: If it’s not a soap opera, Who cares. If it’s a soap opera (like this seems) it’s because that’s the way Jesus wants it.
The SOS guy should of flipped the script and asked duncey Chris Wallace to answer for the “failure of intelligence” on that last question.
What Sundance has written here is stellar. No hyperbole, platitudes, or metaphors. Straight up, in-your-face truth, based on his years of research.
Some of SD’s writings can get “in-the-weeds” and you have to have followed for a while to get it. This is plain to see, for anyone who chooses to “get it.” Brilliant!
Laser focus.

British Ministers are Now Openly Stating Their Belief That Biden Has Gone ‘Completely Mad’
https://trendingpolitics.com/british-ministers-are-now-openly-stating-their-belief-that-biden-has-gone-completely-mad-knab/
Headlines at many news outlets: “Biden ignored Boris Johnsons’ Frantic Call For 36 Hours.”
I remember last time I tuned into a Sunday morning news show, I was in the bath room after taking a shower when I heard what I thought was a quacking duck so I walked down the hall and around the corner into the living room to see what it was because it was quite annoying it turned out to be Chris Wallace. If it sounds like duck it might be a duck or it might be Chris Wallace.
Wow Sundance, I like it when you talk dirty.
U.S. Military Rescues 169 Americans Trapped in Kabul Hotel

Ultimatums are for Hunter’s prosecutors, not for the Taliban.
Whenver I see a full shot of Biden walking, I’m amazed at how thin are his legs. I chalked it up to the phenomena of many of the elderly known as “wasting.”
However, this pic is from a few years back and…wow, look at the size of Biden’s ankles: they look as tiny as Obama’s wrists.
He’s always been a punk. Blustering empty suit. I think Jill is the head of the Biden crime family.
Look at Beijing Biden sitting there, like a lady, with his legs crossed.
Perhaps this debarcle can be considered payback for the 5-eyes dispicable attack on President Trump during the Russia Hoax. After all they all wanted the most experienced foreign policy person, Biden, back so they all could keep stuffing their pockets. This is how Biden proved that America is back! Absolutely disgusting!
Chris doesn’t like the idiots and traitors he lobbied for and helped install?
That’s a shame.
Wallace is a perfect fit. Biden Crime Family & Associates

It is so obvious to me that we are in the last days, I can hardly wait for the Messiah to come. I spend my time sharing the word with whomever will listen in hopes that another soul will be saved but it’s still tough to wait.
Ditto. I believe the time we are being given now is a mercy from God.
2 Peter 3:9
Of the 30K flown out of Afghanistan, how many were Americans? Isn’t that one of the most important questions needing to be answered? And yet Wallace didn’t ask.
When Chris Wallace moves his lips, he is more than an embarrassment to any Patriot who lives in truth. Not only is he a bias protectionist for the Democrats and all their lies and deceptions, Wallace does not have his facts correct. I have stopped watching anything on FOX news because of Wallace.
WHO WORKED UNDER and FOR Susan Rice in the Obama WH for 8Y: YOU GOT IT, none other than Anthony Blinken….starting to fill in the blanks WHO IS PULLING (SOME) of the strings….Always suspected Rice; both Administrations.
Fell on the sword for Hillary, BHO over Benghazi; walked right out on Sunday morning shows AND LIED HER ASS OFF…deliberately, straight forward, KNOWING It was a lie from HELL…
And on Face The Nation, Blinken did not know the current Afghan president and intimidated a conversation with Karzi….thus, are we to believe a conversation took place when a former president was named?? Me thinks ole Blinken was spitballing and was given a pass…would be expected by Sunday shows. Does anyone even pretend to watch these any longer?
These people are EVIL!
I could never understand why Pompeo never cleaned out or transferred the Obama appointees from the State Department when he was head of that department. They hatched two impeachments against Trump from there.
If Trump runs and wins again he needs a plan to get rid of CIA, and cleanse the DOJ, FBI , and State Department.
Trump and Company NEVER cleaned out anything.
That’s why his presidency was so puzzling???
FBI?
DOJ?
IRS?
CIA?
NSA?
SCOTUS: 2 nominees that are horrific. God Bless Thomas and may he live forever.
The Wall (all of it and CLOSING border) , e-verify, DACA, anchor babies NEVER done.
Bad intel, bad intuition, listening to Jared, Ivanka, Kanye, Kardashian ,who knows, BUT HE LISTENED to the wrong people, including McCarthy, Ryan and McConnell.
left a chameleon off that list – pence …. Semper Fi
More focus needed. Not getting the full story.
Where is the money in all of this?
ALL good points and spot on.
There are $MILLIONS, if not $TRillions of wasted, unresolved, untracked assets that have flowed there.
NOW, we will ante back up MILITARY EQUIP, to the tune of $trillions? We know Feinstein and Pelosi have connections to military equip, but my guess is, you have a congress-full of pay-outs off this, BY DESIGN.
Jill Biden BOUGHT into ‘the plan’ to go down in history as a 1st Lady. SHE KNEW Biden incapable and incompetent. Was convinced but likely she pushed for ‘the plan’. WHY would anyone ridicule their family member, embarrass the family (BIDEN and Hunter), daily have to see decline, incompetence, medical maladies playout in front of the WORLD.
THIS ENTIRE presidency is a sham. Kamala ain’t engaged. She’s on the sidelines for a reason. She’s arriving for work at 10 daily..she ain’t calling no shots. She jetted off yesterday for Signapore and the Middle East in shambles?
See Mike Pence’s former aide on tv yesterday and in the background, plain as day, Colonel Vinman’s book on the shelf…NOW YOU TELL ME, what’s going on
I saw a Retired Brigadier General on tv 2x last wk. He said, ALL BY DESIGN.
LEAVING all the equip, planes, tanks, helicopters, ammo WAS BY DESIGN and NOBODY failed or erred that badly
Said America hasn’t won a was in 75Y and WON’T and that is by design as well.
Said Milley and Austin, horrific, but 10-deep to replace them IF they were to resign. Said military is nothing but political hacks, aka, Milley and Austin and USA ain’t winning no wars…..
Mikes former aide , Marc Short, seemed to be in on the steal.
Think how convenient it would be if military hardware and equipment purportedly purchased wasn’t?
Instead, funds for equipment was distributed to participants in scarfing off government largess.
I’m trying to be vague so I’d don’t come off like some kook.
Suspicious cat thinks maybe the screwed up evacuation let Taliban “seize equipment” that existed only on paper, much like the 300,000 manned army of Afghans to oppose the Taliban.
I don’t believe anything Wallace says. Likewise with anyone connected with this installed regime.
Wallace has a bias and it’s clear here.
This interview would have been ratcheted up 10x if it were Trump team which made these crazy decisions.
Trump did more to out the media than anyone could have ever predicted.
I see how many believe this was intentional. Seems like a great way to transfer military technology to China without being accused of being a traitor. There is no legal penalty for being an imbecile. On the contrary, it seems many in government get promoted for that.
