| The "Squad", angry and aggressive Socialist/Progressives in Congress |
There is a bit of wisdom that has been gained through much harsh experience, it's in the form of a proverb and it states "the Left will always turn on itself". When the Communist Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in 1918, they murdered hundreds of thousands of their political opponents which included the entire family of the Czar; however, they also murdered thousands of people that had supported the Bolshevik party, but were found to be lacking in some way. This same process has been repeated throughout history, every time Socialists have come to power; with but a few exceptions, most of these Socialist governments have been quick to murder anyone that displeased them which included their own supporters. The group of Socialist/Progressives known as the "Squad" that came to Congress in 2018 were exceptionally harsh in their criticism of President Donal Trump, and now that Joe Biden is apparently the President-elect, Biden has become the focal point for their sharp tongued belligerence.
Congressman elect, Jamaal Bowman, an outspoken Progressive and newest addition to the Squad, has publicly attacked some of Joe Biden's choices, some of whom are Democrat Party loyalists.
"The Democratic congressman-elect said gender and racial diversity in Biden’s administration were important, but “ideological diversity” was key.“We need to make sure here that President-elect Joe Biden is picking as many progressives to his cabinet as possible,” Bowman said."
“But when I hear names like Rahm Emanuel and Bruce Reed, you know, it makes my skin crawl,” Bowman said. “Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald as Mayor in Chicago. He closed elementary schools. He closed mental health institutions. He added: “Bruce Reed is a deficit hawk and a master of austerity budgets. So, we cannot have anyone like that in the Biden cabinet, especially as we deal with the coronavirus and as we deal with an economic depression and racial reckoning in our time.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/aoc-squad-member-says-hearing-these-two-possible-biden-cabinet-picks-makes-my-skin-crawl
Reading these statements may confuse the casual observer, or anyone with a sound and reasonable mind. The esteemed Congressman-elect has called for "ideological diversity"; therefore Joe Biden must fill his administration with as many progressives as possible. This statement creates an unfathomable paradox. How can ideological diversity exist when progressives are infamous for their aggressive intolerance of differing opinions?
Progressives of all sorts, including those who are members of the Global Elite, have begun to openly question Biden's cabinet choices. Two individuals with deep and long ties to the Democrat Party and various Democrat Presidential administrations, Michèle Flournoy and Antony Blinken, both having been chosen by Biden for top cabinet positions, have come under pressure to reveal the confidential client list they kept while working at the consulting firm "WestExec Advisors", a firm which they started. We see this happening all the time by members of both parties, people get into government by political appointment, then enter the private sector, only to be recalled into government service.
Exclusive think tanks which serve as the intellectual training grounds of the Global Elite, such as the "Council on Foreign Relations" and the "Washington Center for Near East Policy" , are filled with lists of rotating members which switch places every time the White House changes occupants. These think tanks are supposedly non-political and have no influence over government policy decision making; however, almost all of the power players in Washington DC are members of these groups, and the ideas expressed in these think tanks are frequently adopted as government policy. The members of these think tanks were some of the strident opponents of the Trump White House, and many of these individuals, both Democrat and Republican, have supported policies favored by Socialist/Progressives.
To make an accurate analyses of the current situation, a bit of intuition is required. Loud, obnoxious, charismatic, and popular Progressive politicians such as the "Squad" in Congress, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, may be the face of the Socialist movement in the United States, but behind the scenes, the Global Elite within the Council on Foreign Relations and other such groups, are providing the ideas and intellectual muscle upon which the politicians depend on.
Elections become meaningless if the politicians are just over-paid figureheads in a system in which a revolving door of insiders is making all the big policy decisions. These insiders, these Global Elite, they cause the rise and fall of governments, they help finance the governments of the world through their affiliation with the Federal Reserve and the World Bank, and they have worked quietly behind the scenes to influence Joe Biden in choosing his cabinet secretaries and other administration officials.
