I’ve long been of the opinion that one of the most anti-American organizations in the world is the US Department of State.

Senator McCarthy was proven right after the fall of East Germany and the Soviet Union. The USDoS is a cesspool of international communists and globalists.

Always wondered why Flake is such a flake. More mining interests too... like the Hillary-Joe Wilson stuff:

Like a snickering vulture, Canada’s Sherritt International rubbed its hands and gleefully partnered with the Castro regime to occupy and run the stolen and formerly U.S.-owned Moa nickel plant, making them probably the world’s top trafficker in stolen U.S. property. Consequently their CEO was barred by U.S. law from entering the U.S. “Canada’s Sherritt Int. works quietly in Washington,” start’s the discovery document from several years ago.“Recently it has given money to a former State Department employee, Phil Peters, to advance its interests.The money to Peters goes through contributions to the Lexington Institute, where Peters is a vice president. Because the Lexington Institute is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit, there is no public record of Sherritt’s funding. This has allowed Peters to advise and direct the Cuba Working Group (founded by Jeff Flake in 2002) in ways beneficial to Sherritt…for instance when the House Cuba Working Groupmade its first visit to Cuba last year (2002) at Peters’ behest, it made a point of visiting Sherritt’s soybean-processing facility and staying in a hotel in which Sherritt has a 25% interest.” In brief: one of the Castro regime’s top business partners—probably the world’s top trafficker in stolen U.S. property, a company whose CEO was barred by U.S. law from entering the U.S.-- was funneling under-the-table payments to a person billed as an “impartial Cuba expert” by the (Deep) State department!
