It's A Bloodbath At The State Department

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

Fire anyone with democrap leanings. How do you know? Easy, interview everyone. Ask them to identify all the leftists, yes, but also all the people who know who some of the leftists are (so later we can fire all the ‘rats who tried to cover for the leftists). It’s impossible to work side-by-side someone for years without knowing whether he is a leftist, because they just can’t keep their mouths shut.

It needs to be done but this is a dangerous time. Maybe I’m just paranoid but I’d raise the DEFCON level, they’re not going to go quietly. Any terrorist attacks now will be blamed on Trump.

This came in this morning's email via 'monster.com'. It could be fake or part of the swamp. But something about it smells:

Real or Fake?

There was a former CIA officer on Fox yesterday stating that over the last 8 years, the Obama political appointees at all departments would have been able to identify like-minded staffers and nurture their careers at the expense of those who were apolitical or conservative.

Tillerson is going to have to drill down into the lower echelon to get rid of all the Obama staffers.

"...The State Dept. has been filled with domestic enemies and needs a good purge..."

Since about 1943 or 1944, if I recall correctly. When Cordell Hull left, the leftists got rid of all the old school people and forced them out, installing their "own people".

Most famously, people like Alger Hiss. And there were a lot more like him.

Yes, it will be like Valley Forge for Tillerson. Going to be a lot of suffering followed by Hell. But for patriots, it will be their life’s calling.

Patrick F. Kennedy was in the first batch to go & GOOD RIDDANCE ...... he was a key player in Benghazi & the email situation. Also, he was so powerful that he could make or break someone’s career if you pissed him off. Some reading on this scumbag if you’re interested:

Judicial Watch (dated FEBRUARY 14, 2017 - Judicial Watch today released 54 pages of new State Department documents, including a transcript of a September 12 2012, telephone conference call with congressional staffers in which then-Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy admitted that the deadly terrorist assault on the Benghazi Consulate was not “under cover of protest,” but was, in fact, “a direct breaching attack.”)

Good start. Keep rolling and then kill a few worthless agencies outright.

I never lost my Faith but I had list all Hope. I apologize for that sin. Meanwhile, President Trump has renewed my Hope.
