Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby held a press briefing today (full video below) to underscore the U.S. military does not support the sending of any NATO planes into Ukraine. “The intelligence community has assessed that the transfer of MiG-29s to Ukraine may be mistaken as escalatory and could result in significant Russian reaction that might increase the prospects of a military escalation with NATO,” Kirby said. “Therefore, we also assess that the transfer of MiG-29s to Ukraine to be high risk,” he continued.
Now ask yourself this question:
How could the transfer of MiG-29’s evolve from a “green light” position by the U.S. State Department Sunday, into a “high risk” assessment by the Pentagon today?
This is the question that no U.S. media will touch, because the answer is almost too jaw-dropping to contemplate. However, this answer must be outlined in order to fully grasp what took place.
The events of the past 96 hours, on this issue, are perhaps the most critical moments in modern U.S. history, that must be fully understood to fathom what has just happened and what dangers exist from within the current White House administration.
When we were discussing the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco, we noted two competing factions within the U.S. national security apparatus. One group is the Pentagon, the other is a completely rogue operation coming from the State Department. In the Afghanistan example, the issues surfaced within the blame casting for the crisis upon exit. In this current example, things are far more serious.
Last weekend, the US Department of State, Secretary Anthony Blinken, made the unilateral claim that Poland -a NATO ally- was approved by the State Department to send fighter jets into Ukraine. Blinken was located in Moldova when he made the statement to three U.S. media outlets. Poland was caught completely off guard by Blinken’s statements, and only learned about them from the media reporting.
Hours later, western media, desperately pushing the pro-Ukraine defense position, began asking the Polish government for details of what Secretary Blinken had stated. The Sunday afternoon reply from Poland was to call these media reports “fake news,” further stating they had no intention of sending their MiG-29 fighter jets into Ukraine territory.
It became stunningly clear that Secretary Blinken had never discussed the issue with Poland before making his statement. Obviously, given the nature of the statement from the Pentagon yesterday and affirmed again today by spokesperson John Kirby, Secretary Blinken also did not discuss his position on the transfer of Polish (NATO) jets with the Pentagon.
Now pause for a moment and accept what is evident. The US Secretary of State, seeking to leverage the public pressure of a global community aligned in favorability toward the Ukrainian people, unilaterally made a national security policy decision that would trigger an escalated NATO conflict with Russia.
The U.S. State Department was willing, intentionally and willfully willing, to set up a scenario that would draw the United States into war with Russia, and Secretary Blinken intended to trigger this “escalation” by pushing Poland into a corner of compliance – without ever discussing it with them.
By the time Blinken traveled to Poland (Monday), he was greeted and told the transfer of fighter jets he proposed and advocated for publicly was not something the Polish government would ever contemplate.
Now pause and put yourself in the position of Poland for a moment.
Obviously, this would be a ‘what the f**k‘ moment for them.
Poland was facing the three-headed Cerberus. One head is where they are reliant upon the U.S. for military assistance as part of their alignment within NATO. The second head is where Poland is not going to be the mechanism that starts a war. And the final head is the risk of Russia attacking them if Poland was to acquiesce to the unilateral Blinken proposal, which has been framed by Blinken as the position of Poland – which it never was.
Poland said no to Blinken and then shut up.
Poland apparently expected that Blinken would clean up this mess, and they were simultaneously providing him the diplomatic opportunity to do so. However, by that time on Monday, allied government and western media were in a ‘save Ukraine‘ frenzy.
Suddenly there are international leaders saying they supported the position of Poland to send the jets.
Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and the CNN’s of the world were all talking about this inbound support for Ukraine that would save the day and stop the babies from being slaughtered in the streets by the horrible Putin.
But the problem was Poland never had anything, not one thing, to do with the Blinken plan; they never did.
Secretary Blinken made no effort to extract Poland from the situation he created for them; in fact, he did the opposite. Blinken stayed quiet while western government officials and media kept making inquiries of Poland Tuesday and Wednesday.
Eventually Poland had to extricate themselves from this box Secretary Blinken had built around them.
On Wednesday night, doing exactly the same thing Blinken did to them by not informing the U.S prior to their statement, Poland said they would send the jets to Ramstein AFB in Germany but would not send them to Ukraine. Essentially, if Blinken wanted to use these jets to create his war with Russia, well, here they are – go for it.
Poland was calling Blinken’s bluff.
The U.S. Pentagon could not support the position Secretary Blinken put them in to, and immediately released a statement saying the proposal by Poland was “not tenable.” The bizarre nature of the situation left everyone confused.
According to the United States government, per Anthony Blinken, sending planes from NATO base Poland was good. However, according to the same United States government, sending planes from NATO base Germany was bad. See the dichotomy?
This dueling scenario was not, and is not, a fracture within NATO. What surfaced in the insanity is a fracture within the United States government as an outcome of a rogue U.S. State Department led by Secretary Anthony Blinken.
This rogue U.S. State Department now represents a key reference point, but the U.S. media will not discuss it. This is another example of how the Fourth Branch of Government, a completely independent national security system, is operating.
A strong previous example is evident in the U.S. response to Libya, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wanted war with Kaddaffi, but President Obama was not originally in agreement. Clinton sought help from French President Nicolas Sarkozy because President Obama was not on board.
At the beginning of Hillary’s Libya operation, Joint Chiefs Admiral McMullin and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were not on board with Hillary’s intervention plans, nor was Turkish President Recep Erdogan. Secretary Clinton worked around the refusals by unilaterally going to the United Nations and NATO Supreme Commander General Stravridis. Eventually, Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power created enough international momentum to force President Obama to intervene in Libya. The rest is history.
The point to emphasize is how the U.S. State Department views itself as a unilateral government entity, permitted to conduct independent foreign policy operations regardless of U.S. interests. This institutional mindset is the reference point for Secretary Blinken sitting in a chair in Moldova on Sunday and making strategic policy decisions without any discussion with Poland, NATO or anyone else.
Do not let this behavior of Secretary Blinken just fall away from your frame of reference without giving it the appropriate weight it deserves. This is a very dangerous situation.
If Secretary Blinken been successful with his intended plan, we were about to enter a hot war with Russia and no one would realize how exactly it started.
Let this all sink in.
Here’s the presser: Pentagon press secretary John Kirby on Wednesday discussed why the U.S. rejected Poland’s offer to send fighter jets to a U.S. airbase in Germany with the intention that they would be transferred to Ukraine’s military. Among other reasons, Kirby said transferring MiG-29 jets to Ukraine, “may be mistaken as being escalatory and could result in significant Russian reaction.”

When the media start talking about children, babies, orphans and milk factories, you know everything that follows is intended to influence your mind. Grow brain callouses and avoid being their victim.
Why isn’t the Ukrainian Air Force flying? The Pentagon says Ukraine’s air force already has “several squadrons of fully mission capable aircraft”.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pentagon-rejects-polands-plan-make-us-provide-ukraine/story?id=83324397
Are additional fighters needed?
The Pentagon, at least at the talking head level and probably deeper, is staffed with people who are idiots no better than Blinken. What is worse is that the media are dumber or at best playing dumber than the government guys.
The Ukrainian “manned” aircraft ceased to exist by day 2, their current “air power” per say is now drones and foreign satellite feeds.
“Why isn’t the Ukrainian Air Force flying?”
Uh…well, you’re assuming there is something to fly.
Uke command and control was gone early on.
They didn’t start with that many air assets to begin with.
I want people to remember the Trump precision strikes on Syrian/Russian air assets. Yep. That happened big time.
Also, as they move into a city they wipe out the internet and cell service.
As they move into a city they wipe out all security cameras.
Lots of stuff we assume they are capable of, they are not.
Get out of western media box and go to the back channels closer to where the action is. Lots of aluminium parts are scattered all over the place.
Carpet bombed runways.
Curious that Zelinski IS asking for planes, it appears not for his army to fly but for air support from NATO members… In a no-fly zone.
FUBAR
The State Department has all the credibility of a Homeland Security Bulletin that states a threat.
But you have to read the fine print at the bottom which says something to the effect; “We currently have absolutely no credible evidence of what we said as having any basis whatsoever. This scenario was created in the mind of someone who came up with this fantasy as a possibility of something that could happen.”
This may work with low self-esteem, bottom barrel LE, who need a boost to their ego and impotence.
Unfortunately, this nonsense does not play out well on the world stage when WW3 hangs in the balance. This is the kind of sh*t that you do when you want to disband NATO because nobody wants to be associated with you.
Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think 😁
Right? Where is the Ukrainian Air Force? May be that they have had their ground control radar blown up and now can’t guide a single aircraft to the inbound Russian aircraft? May be their aircraft can’t even get airborne?
Radio silence regarding what’s actually going on with their “Air Force”.
May be they don’t even have an “Air Force”. Just hangars with airplanes too cannabilized to fly. We had at least one or two B-52s and KC-135s in hangars that were used to keep other aircraft flying. We called them Hangar Queens.
The other side of the coin may be they don’t have enough qualified pilots and maintenance crews to keep them in the sky.
As I was reading Sundance’s article, I kept thinking about Hillary, as Secretary of State, pushing for a hot war with Libya… And lo and behold, later in the post, Sundance brought up the same point.
The incredible danger of the State Department, overriding every branch of the military in order to create conflicts from which they will personally and financially benefit, but which could cost thousands of American lives and billions in taxpayer dollars, cannot be overstated, IMHO. The US Senate is corrupt beyond redemption (and where did Joe Biden serve for decades?) and must be completely dismantled if our country is to any chance of survival!!
The question is to how to bring that about… Sundance, Treeper-any suggestions ?
You are a true Viking…..and a Mom and Patriot to boot? A trifecta.
I keep thinking the same, but for all governments that have been infiltrated by the WEF or are otherwise corrupt.
The only thing I can think of is to flood the government with regular patriotic people stepping up to replace those currently there… ??
I’d also love to hear other ideas.
Not to get off topic but noticed quite a bit of military helicopter activity in northern Indiana today, which is highly unusual. Don’t trust this government one iota.
I am glad you asked! I have been posting the idea that President Trump Primary Senator Rubio! He would be Majority Leader in no time flat assuming the GOP takes both Chambers. He could destroy the RINO Cabal of vipers from within, and since it was the Senate who destroyed America and the rest of the World by certifying that BS excuse for an Election in 2020, I think they deserve it. When 2024 rolls around he can run and win the Presidency for a third time. Not many have embraced my idea on these pages.. Yet. I see no other way.
Speaking of Libya, Clinton, Sullivan, Nuland
They want a War so badly.

The Russian Defense Ministry alleges that classified documents prove that Kiev planned a major Donbass offensive in March
Secret Ukrainian documents allegedly captured by the Russian military seemingly prove that Kiev was planning a major offensive against the breakaway eastern Donbass regions, this month, which Moscow preempted with its own attack
https://www.rt.com/russia/551518-ukraine-national-guard-documents/
Using their Nazi Azov forces no doubt.
Sorry. Citing RT as your source is inherently questionable. Why do you think Russia wouldn’t be scrambling as hard as our own government to justify a unjustifiable war?
Our own media is as bad or worse than any Russia rag. I don’t believe much of what I read except for this site. RT is Putin trying to justify why he’s taking out hospitals & bombing Ukraine into dust. & that’s assuming video on FAUX News are showing us “reality.”
I wonder what the next move will be? We’re all breathing a sigh of relief that Poland wasn’t stupid enough to take a military bribe that would have started WW3. We should be watching for the deep state’s next move because, as we all know, they’re not gonna give up until the world is engulfed in nuclear fire.
Blackrock, in the White House.
With Joe Biden in the White House you can expect to hear the name “Blackrock” in the headlines connected to a variety of issues from real estate purchasing to green energy projects with massive domestic and international investments.
“BlackRock, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is a massive publicly traded multinational investment firm with over $8.68 trillion in assets under management [December 31, 2020 financial statement] in more than 100 countries across the globe. To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement {See Here}.
Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s attorney of record, are on the board.”
Wait a minute – Hillary Clinton’s attorney, of record, is on the board! Humm!
Hillary, could sure use a WAR right now – I wonder?
So who is the “most dangerous liar in the Unites States media apparatus” as labeled in the first picture in the article?
Mike on page 1 of comments said it’s Jennifer Griffin.
I recognized the almost bald head

Now it’s – Putin might get the bio weapons. Maybe that’s what they are going to use now to try and get to war.
And then we have little Marco proclaiming yesterday – if there is a biological attack we KNOW that Puttin did it.
As feckless as the Pentagon is, I have to give them credit for shutting down DoS in this situation. What galls me the most is not one single person in the US government has reached out to Russia. NOT ONE. The Pentagon has an open line but refuses to make the call. No one is trying to defuse this situation and make terms except Russia.
We talk about how evil and psychotic the DC bubble is, but I think it’s more than that. They WANT to watch the world burn, and reign over the ashes.
The US has ZERO leverage to deal with Russia, and Europe will eventually back away when the situation becomes untenable for them. I truly do not know how the US can get out of the corner it’s painted itself into.
I do.
Ladies and gentlemen, after Bidens masterful and cunning diplomacy saved Ukraine and the world from nuclear war, may I introduce you to the new “Global Food Shortage”, a direct result of climate change! If every true patriot could just get in line for their rations, then we may still have time to reverse climate change.
China might have something to say about that with all of the new coal fired power plants they’re building.
Have we heard from Jake Sullivan lately? As head of NSC, isn’t he supposed to ensure coordination among State, Defense, and various Intel groups? Might be hard to do in the absence of a functioning President.
On the verge of WW3, and we have astounding stupidity and unqualified, gross incompetence at the helm. These blind idiot-louges are in full “Never waste a crisis” mode, when they should be in full “Avoid the Crisis” mode. Their blood is up and off the charts as they continually poke the Bear and at the same time drive a dagger through the heart of America’s energy industry and foreign policy. Its absolute nirvana for these rabid, fanatical totalitarians. Emboldened as they are, they will only speed up the demise of world peace and inflict further long-term damage to our country.
Germany, like Poland, likely didn’t want to be involved in this “transaction” either.
Seems like Biden has single handedly screwed the NATO alliance as well.
Biden single handedly started this war by egging Russia on.
The scary thing is we have no one in the media, in government, anywhere that will call this out. Where’s that MMA Arkansas farmer guy? Yeah him. Get him to get the word out!
After listening to all the talking heads on FOX, I’d like to ask them-are you willing to send your sons, daughters, grandchildren over to fight in the Ukraine – especially Hurlraldo!
Hey, he said this pm on The Five, I hope Kamala gets her TUSHY in gear & shows some strength…… he actually said “tushy”
Geraldo is so biased, it’s like Juan never left.
He’s 75…Go home, Gerald.
Clearly the State Dept. views Ukraine as their Satellite country. They are the toxic foreign influence in the region, taking their marching orders from George Soros who put Zelensky in office to begin with. Ukraine is theirs, bought & paid for.
The heart of the darkness has been named. At the moment, they seem to be partially encircled, their crimes of such magnitude, they were and are adamant to create a war that would DEVASTATE Europe and part of the world for the third time.
This cabal is not scheming and warmongering for the interest of USA or any nation in particular, but for they own business and survival.
Such dangerous times. May God help us all.
What?
Would a war, help Hillary Clinton
Excellent Summary of the Durham Investigation to Date – Will Durham Destroy the National Security State or Just Hillary Clinton?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/excellent-summary-durham-investigation-date-will-durham-destroy-national-security-state-just-hillary-clinton/
Just Hillary Clinton. He would never move against the dark tower itself, just one of its former higher-ranking members no longer needed and possibly a nuisance to boot. It might very well help her especially if she feels the walls closing in and is willing to try anything to get another chance to rule it all. She probably has the desire but, methinks she lacks the mental and physical ability at this point. Obama probably wants her to be the ultimate fall guy if things get dicey for him.
Good answer Jen. Wow, she is good at her job and it is one tough job. Give her kudos for that although I don’t know how she can sleep at night. All in a day’s spin. I suppose Maria Salazar checked the likes Ukraine got versus Russia on Zuckerbook before making a statement on the issue. About the same level of information as the average person I expect. Like one of those man on the street questioners that reveal how utterly clueless most people are about the simplest things. It would be nice to get slightly better than one of those clueless idiots representing us in government but, it appears we are actually heading in the opposite direction in general. Scary.
And these people are our government… heaven help us.
Interesting, you don’t suppose Hillary needed some help?
“Salazar, a popular Cuban-American former broadcast journalist, and Shalala, who served as Health and Human Services secretary in the Clinton administration, are facing off to replace retiring Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) in the Miami-based district, which Hillary Clinton won by nearly 20 percentage points in 2016.”
.
What a choice, ay? Maybe she can be educated. Oh wait… she reports to Marco Rubio. 🙁
.
I recommend Salazar hop her dumb ass onto the next plane to Europe and get to work fighting Ivan. There’s a free rifle waiting for her.
And take along as many other chickenhawk Congress mf’s with her that the plane can hold
Yikes, that on top of one of “The View” women calling for a “No Fly Zone” over Ukraine, even U.S. women Communists can’t be trusted to keep us out of war.
I did realize that Poland had called Blinken’s bluff, but had no idea that Blinken had not spoken to them before making his announcement. YOWSA!
Have to admire the way Poland handled the lies, continuing after they yelled FAKE NEWS on Twitter. Thank you, Poland. Poland not only kept itself, Germany, NATO, and the US out of this war, they exposed Blinken’s lies without directly stating them, signaling both the US and Russia. Putin would understand, even if the people of the US didn’t realize it.
Russia’s reaction to the bombing of the maternity hospital:
“This is how fake news is born. In our statement back on March 7, we warned that this hospital had been turned into a military facility by radicals. It is very alarming that the UN is distributing this information without verification,” – First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky.
The images creating hysteria amongst our MSM and politicians do appear staged, and the maternity hospital strangely empty of equipment.
The images on Fox News included pregnant women. I said it was not what it seemed to my family without knowing all the detail and was called a conspiracy theorist for my troubles.
I would quibble with one statement you made. Secretary Blinken did not try to bluff Poland. An easy reference writing as fast as you do but, I think it is important to remember that he did not attempt to deceive them or use them with flattering lies but, he tried to push them unknowingly and unwillingly into a conflict they have nothing to do with. The attempt was obviously to provoke Putin into attacking an actual NATO country. They did not call his bluff because he was not bluffing. He and whoever he answers to wants war with Russia and attempted to force Poland into being a pawn in their game. Thankfully, Poland said hell no, we won’t go. The same thing that fighter dude from Arkansas said. Now, they are going to try another way most likely. Who in the Pentagon is not onboard? Surely, Milley didn’t stop this nonsense. Austin? Jill? Maybe she is getting wind of how her husband is being used all of a sudden and developing a conscience?
So who’s the back of the head that’s the Most Dangerous Liar in US media?
Jennifer Griffin
Blinken in Alaska with chicoms:
“I have to tell you, what I am hearing is very different from what you described. I am hearing deep satisfaction that the United States is back, that we are reengaged with our allies and partners. I am also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government has taken.”
Who is this idiot?
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36).
The question is, WHO did he hear it from? My guess? His handlers with the WEF as they finalized the media narrative.
SD, by ‘state department’ do you mean and/or include CIA?
Same/Same
I just saw a video of a huge childrens hospital in Mariupul,and ruined neo natal equipment. Posted on a site not favoring either side.
Another point is Russia is claiming they found the bio lab in Kiev.
Also claiming Chyna says there are 36 labs in Ukraine and many more in 30 countries .
Knowing just how much money Fauci controls, i wouldn’t doubt they have many, many labs.
.
I encourage everyone to watch Oliver Stone’s documentary for perspective. It will answer a lot.
Also, there are lots of idiots in the State Department, true. But keep in mind that evern those political appointees get “managed” by career “diplomats” and that the agency has become infiltrated and controlled by the CIA, which in turn somehow has gained authority to conduct operations with our special forces outside of the Secretary of Defense (see Trump’s order that special forces report directly to the Secretary of Defense, which immediately was trashed by Lloyd Austin).
.
With idiots like Blinken and the rogue DoS/CIA putting trip wires all over the place, I assess we are closer to a nuclear war than at any time during the Cold War, when there were still thoughtful men on both the Soviet and US sides.
The Joebama administration doesn’t know what they are doing. They should be removed, they peed on the constitution, in my opinion they don’t deserve it’s protections.
When will WE The People call our so called Government ROGUE?
Me thinks many are ready…..but the Primaries will solve all our problems.
Spit, puke, Spit.
The US DoS is very upset their Ukraine is going away… and the CIA sure is busy with the propaganda too.
The media? You mean Corporate Western Pravda? Samo-samo.
It’s no longer a Black Flag event, it’s a DoS Flag Event.
Jimmy Dore (yes, a Leftie) made some interesting points regarding The National Endowment for Democracy and their creepy CEO Damon Wilson. The NED financed 65 projects in Ukraine in years prior to Maidan 2014. The NED is on the forefront of current efforts regarding Ukraine.
Once again, Poland shows us the way. God bless and protect them.
Indeed, the Children’s Hospital supposed to be have been destroyed this morning by Russia with many dead children buried in the rubble turned rapidly into a nearby bomb explosion that “injured” 17 children.
Is killary still pulling the strings in the state department ?
It becomes more obvious every single day how dangerous these people in our government are and offering up our children for slaughter they have no problems.

I worked in DC from 2000 -2007 then escaped the madness.
In 2001 while having coffee at the Rayburn Bldg, I overheard a nearby table of State Dept employees (vocally anti Bush), saying “We are the Real Government. Politicians come and go, but State is always there, making Policy and doing the Real Thinking that Others aren’t capable of”. It was creepy. After 17 years with USAF, USMC, USN, to hear such talk was an eye opener. But, that’s how they see themselves. Keepers of the True Faith, Smarter than everyone else, Untouchable, Permanent Kings. Apparently Blinken is one of those people.
One of these days God’s gonna cut them down.
I think the REAL GOVERNMENT also includes staffers in the electeds’ offices. The newly electeds come in, get settled and start raising funds for the next election. The staffers keep on keeping on with whatever they were working on before the election. No one ever clears them out. I remember reading when Hils was a senator, her staff was around 200. McCain’s was around 160. Why.
Yes, I knew a couple of them like that. Their outlook exactly. And despise the lowly peons.

The NWO and WEF does.
Good reminder.

what if the EU is dissolved?
I’m voting BRICS
I’ve thought this out through and I cannot see a scenario where Poland was not being thrown away by the state department, easily attacked by Russia as retaliation.
The real question is why Poland? And was Poland seen as bait, willing to be sacrificed for their ultimate goal whatever that is. Maybe ostracizing Russia forever? That would fit the goals of the WEF/NWO to a tee.
maybe because Trump had such a good visit with the Polish Pres?
And today, right on time, it’s all about children, babies, orphans and milk factories.
This deceitful, illegal administration has got to be forced to step down before they destroy the world.
The incompetence, the treachery, the corruption, the criminality of their vaccine hoax all need to be dealt with and soon. It appears we could use a nationwide work stoppage in all sectors until these people resign and step down. The pressure needs to be massive.

I knew something was up before this monumentally dangerous incident when I read Edward Luttwak’s twitter. It was clear he was trying to get Poland’s tit caught in a wringer in a similar way. Oh, and by the way, while Luttwak is worth reading or listening to on geopolitics, a word to the wise: He always seems to work in off of nothing what a wonderful Secretary of State the old colostomy bad Hillary was.
From Putin’s letter.
I am not going to idealise anything. We do know there were the Valuev Circular of 1863 an then the Ems Ukaz of 1876, which restricted the publication and importation of religious and socio-political literature in the Ukrainian language. But it is important to be mindful of the historical context. These decisions were taken against the backdrop of dramatic events in Poland and the desire of the leaders of the Polish national movement to exploit the ”Ukrainian issue“ to their own advantage. I should add that works of fiction, books of Ukrainian poetry and folk songs continued to be published. There is objective evidence that the Russian Empire was witnessing an active process of development of the Malorussian cultural identity within the greater Russian nation, which united the Velikorussians, the Malorussians and the Belorussians.

It’s also very obvious nobody, Blinken or anyone at the Puzzle Palace ever discussed this with any other NATO countries.
Blinken and Psaki belong to WestExec. Please look it up for all your answers.

This the front company for Obama’s shadow cabinet, that went into full operation the day he left the White House. Nothing secretive about them.
Their clientele included China Inc., Iran and North Korea.
We discussed them here on CTH when President Trump undid the Iran Nuke Deal, after Iran CONTRACTED them for advice on how to negotiate with President Trump. Recall the pictures of Kerry sitting in a cafe in Paris meeting with the Iranians.
China, North Korea and the UN also used them for the same reason. The UN contracted them when President Trump was shredding US involvement with the Paris Climate Accords. These slime balls showed up before and after any delegations from President Trumps adminstration to prep their clients as well as undo with promises anything said by President Trumps representatives.
