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.

Lloyd Austin is the U.S. Secretary of Defense.  Lloyd Austin is responsible for the U.S. military and pentagon response to the crisis in Afghanistan. Secretary Austin is the woke, highly political hire within the Biden administration, and it is his responsibility to weaken the U.S. military and infect the institution through a process of advanced cultural Marxism (political correctness).

The collapse of security and stability within Afghanistan is ultimately a distraction from the purpose of Lloyd Austin.  From the perspective of international security and advanced, strategic U.S. military operations, this is not his forte’.  Austin is currently attempting to fulfill an obligation that is way over his head.

The guiding hands behind Biden, the Chicago Marxist system that installed Barack Obama, have a primary objective for Secretary Austin to weaken the U.S. military from within, and by consequence, remove the strategic value of American power on a global stage.  That is his purpose. That is his function.  They did not anticipate the issues within Afghanistan ¹spotlighting his incompetence.  Many people are scrambling to prop him up.

In essence, the eruption of the current crisis in Afghanistan has become a risk to the domestic control agents.  The visible ineptitude of Austin on a global stage puts his position in a spotlight that makes the ideological team uncomfortable.  If too many people notice the incompetence of Austin in the role of defense secretary, Americans might start to ask questions about his real primary objective.

Jake Sullivan is Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor.  Jake Sullivan controls the National Security Council, which is an assembly of security strategists from across the spectrum of government, located inside the White House.  In his role NSA Jake Sullivan coordinates with the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence apparatus (foreign and domestic) writ large.  Sullivan is a 44-year-old political ideologue.

In this interview [Video Here] Sullivan’s role is to protect the interests of the White House amid the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan.

Notes:  Sullivan claims 30,000 U.S. citizens and Afghan nationals who assisted the U.S. have been evacuated.  This aligns with the Pentagon statement from yesterday; however, notice Sullivan doesn’t say where they went.  From yesterday’s Pentagon press conference with Maj. General Hank Taylor we know the vast majority, again 30,000 stated, have been transported to Qatar.  Why Qatar?

The U.S. has advanced military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.  Why pick Qatar?

Qatar is aligned in ideological purpose with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Gulf Arab States, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), do not align with Qatar’s extremist position.  However, as shown by transactional relationships within the past 15 years, the U.S. State Department is ideologically aligned in common principle with Qatar, and by extension The Muslim Brotherhood – the political umbrella organization of authentic Islam (Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc).

We outlined yesterday some of the ideological teams within the current political dynamic as it relates to a massive foreign policy failure in Afghanistan {Go Deep}. Before going further and reviewing the current Sunday talking points by political actors within this mess, it is worth expanding slightly so we can see the institutional agendas that drive the visible messaging.

Big Picture – Remember, there was a time when the eagle’s gaze on the official seal for the Office of the United States President, did not point toward the olive branch. There was a long time in our nation’s history when the eagle’s gaze on the Presidential Seal pointed toward the arrows, and the State Dept. Seal pointed to the olive branch.  There were always two conflicting teams, by design.  There were always two different roles and responsibilities.  Those distinct purposes are now diluted by ideology and size of government…. But the distinction is playing out amid the crisis in Afghanistan.

The State Department has been undermining the message and ‘narrative’ from the White House.  Part of this is driven by an ideological distinction and self-interest that has existed for decades.  However, the current dynamic is being played out by corrupt institutional actors on both sides who do not have our best interests in mind.  Both sets of federal actors are two factions within the same ideological tribe of  leftists & globalists.

Comments have been closed. In the short time this post has been up I have had to delete a number of them. Good grief, if you don’t want to pray, pass on by. And if you are mad at Franklin Graham, you can’t put that aside long enough to say prayers for people whose lives are in grave danger at this moment?

Some of you need some serious self examination. There are many issues in our lives that should draw us together, and if we are actual, functioning adults, then we should be able to set aside other concerns and focus on a bigger picture. I’m closing comments when what I actually want to do is ban some of you who were really out of line. I consider that my act of self restraint for the day.  There was absolutely no need to be a jerk on a prayer post. I repeat, again, as I have in the past, not everything has to meet with your approval, and if it doesn’t you can ignore it.

From the desk of Franklin Graham…

Thousands of people are desperately trying to escape from Afghanistan after the country’s fall to the Taliban.

With the Taliban blocking access to the airport and all exit routes, this is a life or death situation for Christians and other religious minorities, and all those who worked with or for America over the past two decades.

These Islamic extremists, who have taken Afghanistan by force, have a history of brutality, including beheadings and public executions. Time is short and the need is urgent, and this is why I am calling for a day of prayer on Sunday, August 22.

With the Taliban blocking access to the airport and all exit routes, this is a life-or-death situation for Christians and other religious minorities, and all those who worked with or for America over the past two decades. There is no hope for these people to get out safely—apart from a miracle from the hand of God—and that’s what we need to pray for.

It is a difficult and tragic situation. Will you please join me in praying for God to intervene in a mighty way?

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

All residents in the Northeast coastal region, specifically Long Island and Southern New England, should pay close attention to local officials regarding precautions as Hurricane Henri begins tracking in that direction. The forward speed is 21 mph and the wind speed around the storm is 75 mph, a category-1 hurricane.

[National Hurricane Center] – At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Henri was located near latitude 38.6 North, longitude 71.0 West. Henri is moving toward the north near 21 mph (33 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through tonight. A decrease in forward speed and a
turn toward the north-northwest is expected on Sunday. On the forecast track, Henri is expected to make landfall in southern New England or on Long Island on Sunday. After landfall, a turn to the north and a slower forward speed are expected as Henri moves over southern New England. (LINK)

The Eagle’s Stare…

In keeping with the FUBAR dynamic… a deeper, perhaps more concerning, picture is emerging.  The Pentagon held a press briefing today with Defense Department spokesperson John Kirby and Maj. General Hank Taylor.  After initial comments, the first question was about the State Department telling Americans not to attempt to come to the airport.  Kirby and Taylor did not know about it.

Maj General Taylor admitted, “I’m not familiar with that directly.”  [See video 04:08 Prompted]:

Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby was put in a very uncomfortable position of answering questions about a State Department alert he was not knowledgeable about.

Stand back for a moment.  Was the release from the State Dept timed to catch Kirby and Taylor off-guard?   Having watched these internecine battles unfold amid Deep State institutions wanting to protect their own interests and avoid blame for their part of the FUBAR, my answer is a resounding yes.

The State Department is the bureaucratic scum that creates the environment for DC swamp creatures to exist.  Keep in mind the Dept of State (DoS) is a sister agency to the CIA.  DoS and CIA embed together, operate together and align in common purpose.  As such, the picture starts to gain clarity…. The State Dept is turning against the White House to protect itself.
