Do the math within the timeline provided in this story and you will find the substance for the headline. Since the 2009 Obama speech in Cairo we have discussed the consequences against the backdrop of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and the larger mid-east.
Within the accompanying research and discussion – years ago Zurich Mike coined the phrase: “Obama killed the Mid-East Zookeepers, unlocked the big cat cages,  and just walked away”…

The coded messaging within the June 2009 speech in Cairo was a message to the Middle East that America would no longer protect the various dictators, and it was safe to attack them.  The Obama administration would accept their replacements, regardless of how they assumed power. The message (speech here) was transparently obvious to those who understood the ramifications.

Well….

Here’s an opportunity for you to assemble your thoughts for the upcoming Trump administration against the backdrop of the modern media engagement therein.
Ultimately you are the customer in this equation. What suggestions would you provide to a Trump administration to deliver a communications product?

My personal suggestions:
♦ Keep using twitter daily, or as determined.  Keep using social media, and/or any alternate communications platforms to communicate with the American People.
♦ Establish dress code for credentialed media.  No casual days, ever.  100% business professional, 100% of the time.

Democrats establishing a second, parallel, U.S. government structure. 

If there was anyone who doubted the previous outline we shared about the State Department operating as a complete and distinct agency of the U.S. government, today’s action from DC Democrats should put those doubts to rest.

A true “America First” diplomatic outlook is an existential threat to the preferred mission statement of the U.S. State Department. (link)

Democrat leaders within the House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a warning letter to State Department officials and career diplomats alerting them to beware of Trump administration changing their overarching objectives and globalist mission:

Today at 2:15pm EDT President Obama is holding a year-end press conference.  Immediately following the press conference Obama will head off to Hawaii for his traditional Christmas/New Year family vacation.

Live Stream Added:

With the specifics of this date and timing in mind, it is rumored that President Obama may deliver a message actually promoting the vast Russian election conspiracy.  The intent therein would be to severely undermine the incoming presidency of Donald Trump.  The electoral college votes on Monday, December 19th.

An interesting choice now presents itself for Democrat supporters, Tom Perez or Keith Ellison?  The Bernie Sanders wing (Anarchists, RevCom, SJW) of the party supports Keith Ellison, the Obama/Clinton wing (Moonbat Limo-Liberals) will most likely support Tom Perez.  However, both options are substantially far left.

Today Labor Secretary Tom Perez announces his intention to run for Chair of the Democrat National Committee.   Perez launches a website –SEE HERE– toward that endeavor:

The last month hasn’t been easy for Democrats.  But now isn’t the time to despair – it’s time to organize and fight.  ~ Tom Perez

U.S. Media outlets wonder why the average American is indifferent to their pearl-clutching anxiety over lost credibility.  With that in mind, perhaps this example is apropos on many levels. There’s a few layers to this story.
The “reporter/journalist” is Julia Ioffe.  A now fired writer for Politico, a frequent CNN guest and contributor, and a journalist recently hired by the Atlantic.

Yeah, suffice to say this representative exhibition of modern journalism does little to advance the cause of professional credibility.  However, the layers of irony only begin with the vulgarity. (more…)
