Beware of Washington’s Foreign Policy Establishment Blob President Trump has unmasked the groupthink that passes for wisdom in official Washington. The Wise Men and their progeny take that as a personal insult. American Greatness, Nov 19, 2019, Curtis Ellis
Beware of the blob.
That’s either a kitschy Burt Bachrach tune from the 1950s, a warning about Washington’s permanent foreign policy establishment, or the takeaway from watching witnesses in the impeachment hearings.
At one time, the State Department was accused of harboring secret Soviet spies, à la Alger Hiss.
Today, the harbor is filled with globalists, and they are quite open about their efforts to subvert President Trump’s foreign policy.
His America First agenda not only conflicts with the species of globalism that is an article of faith in elite Washington, it takes foreign policy off the autopilot setting that it’s been on for decades.
And that may be his greatest offense in the eyes of the foreign-policy establishment.
Let’s go to the videotape.
The first public witness in the impeachment hearings was George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state for European affairs.
Kent spoke of “how we have defined our national interest broadly in Europe in the past 75 years,” and the fundamental importance of “the collective security provided by NATO.”
He talked about the “rules-based international order” created after World War II.
The Ukraine chargé d’affaires Bill Taylor summed up: “the whole notion of a rules-based order was being threatened by the Russians.”
These honorable and capable men displayed an element of excellent students who’ve memorized all the facts if not grasping their meaning, adept at following whatever map you give them but not at drawing a new one for unfamiliar territory.
I listened to how easily Dr. Filibuster Hill, justified her 2015 position to not arm Ukraine, and her current position to arm them, as if we don't deserve a better argument.
She is likely the same type of DC "expert," that urged that Reagan not say "Mr. Gorbachev, tear thadown this wall."
Any private business, with the record of mistakes and failures of our military-intelligence complex, would have failed decadesago.USSR breakup, fall of Berlin wall, and the lise goeson and on.

The episode I'm listening to currently is the Rudy Guiliani interview from last night according to what Glen said at the opening.

She's exactly the type of "expert" who has and continues to work with Soros organizations.
Great thanks, that goes to a web page.... I'm a bit old fashioned in that I have never used a formal "podcast," I just listen to shows on web pages....
(I am assuming that using a real podcast means that you subscribe to them via a podcast service and get them automatically downloaded onto your phone, where you can listen on the go... with ear buds.... I am just not there yet....)
