Rex Tillerson Downsizes at State

Posted by Tina

We’re approaching the final lap of the first year in the Trump presidency. Among the many accomplishments that have contributed to the fulfillment of Trumps agenda is the downsizing of government bureaucracy. Cleaning out excessive or corrupting forces is part of that effort…screaming and gnashing of teeth has begun (by the usual suspects)…the NYT reports on Tillerson’s State Department:

The number of those with the department’s top two ranks of career ambassador and career minister — equivalent to four- and three-star generals — will have been cut in half by Dec. 1, from 39 to 19. And of the 431 minister-counselors, who have two-star-equivalent ranks, 369 remain and another 14 have indicated that they will leave soon — an 18 percent drop — according to an accounting provided by the American Foreign Service Association.

The political appointees who normally join the department after a change in administration have not made up for those departures. So far, just 10 of the top 44 political positions in the department have been filled, and for most of the vacancies, Mr. Tillerson has not nominated anyone.

If these diplomats were so darned important, as is suggested in the NYT, why was the world such a dangerous place under their diplomatic leadership?

Seems to me that dramatic change is entirely appropriate! And under this new administration it will be. As sundance at the Conservative Treehouse observed:

The former leader of the worlds largest private business, Exxon-Mobil, is now systematically bringing efficiency and effectiveness to the worlds largest public institution, the State Dept.

One fundamental question: “what is your specific and quantifiable value to the core DoS mission; and how do we measure your effectiveness therein”? The lack of reasonable answers within the bureaucratic ranks is leading to massive downsizing.

Making America Great Again means Making Interventionism Irrelevant Again – The New York Times outlines why the diplomatic retention of irrelevant snobbery is vital to those within the State Department’s cocktail circuit influence network. (read on to discover when things will get “really ugly”)

Are we having fun yet?

  1. Truth To Power says:

    You really need to get where we are really at – This Party bull has people so down the RabbitHole I consider Dems and Reps an enemy of the People .

    Try researching the powerful , The Ties to Money and the Russian / Jewish Mafia –

    us Berners Stopped Clinton – we also knew that stopping one criminal org could allow another Criminal Org to take over – It appears that is exactly what has Happened

    Fact – Trump was Broke – It s described in his own words in his book. – He lost in the Casino Deals – That lost money is not free when you deal with the mobs – / You are now in deep debt to these criminals
    Fact

    Fact – It is Russian Money that built Trump back up Fact

    Unfortunate Fact – Trump is Owned – Learn How these Mafias work –

    Before you try to say I am Full of it – Do the research – Trump ties To La Cosa Nostra & The Russian Mob-

    Tillerson is also a Criminal – he steals Oil and the downsizing is to protect their activities.

    We must take down Clinton/Bush Cartel and we must get these Russian Mob candidates out too.

    Bayrock Group- KEY

    Felix Sater –

    Flynn, Manafort, Roy Cohn, Alpha Bank, Kenneth Shapiro, Danny Leung, Jared Kushner, on and on…………….

    This country is in a battle of the Oligarch’s and the ones who own the White House this time are Russian, Chinese, ect ect

    do the research then try to dispute-

    we dodged the Clinton’s and have to deal with this now –

    A true patriot believes in Truth not some political Ideology sold to them with smoke and mirrors

    It is the responsibility of We The people to dig up real truth and save the republic

    I support no Party Nor any Candidate –

    In the 70’s over 1000 people owned media – now because of Bill Clinton 5 or 6 own all Media – operation Mockingbird never ended probably just has a new name – Obama signed into law that it is legal for CIA to feed Citizens Propaganda –

    WakeUp

    the truth is we are in trouble if we do not unite – Drop these Parties and deal with fact – Fact is Trump is compromised and Owned – Deep State is all of them – Our elections are a Sham and have been for decades –

    Try digging deep – look at actual facts as you weed through print – Vet Everything – look at actual court cases – Money laundering – and Russian Mob history –

    This is serious stuff Politics is futile – politics is a game of division – The swamp is so deep it will get worse until we get real

      “I consider Dems and Reps an enemy of the People ”

      Sure, that’s why you cast your vote for a Democrat in the last election!

      “us Berners Stopped Clinton”

      Those who backed Trump (from day one) battled with 16 other candidates and then went on to WIN without cheating and in compliance with the American system!

      Names and facts mean zot!

      Name the crimes!

      Show the evidence!

      All you got is a bunch of hot air!

      “A true patriot believes in Truth”

      Practice what you preach! You are making unsubstantiated accusations.

      “Fact is Trump is compromised and Owned”

      Saying a thing does not make it fact.

      Are you a religious person? Ever heard of bearing false witness?

      Dewey you demonstrate an acute ability to turn BS into facts.

      Drop the parties? Okay…and do what?

      “The swamp is so deep it will get worse until we get real”

      And do WHAT?
