Trump says Rex Tillerson out as Secretary of State, replaced by Mike Pompeo

[Vieux Canard]

at 2:40 mark . . . Quayle gets scorched and roasted

I remember that moment. It was hilarious. If you look at Bentson's face just as Quayle drops the JFK bomb, you can see him smile. He was prepared for that moment. 1988 was closer to the JFK administration than it is to today. As the Stones said, "It's a drag to get older."

"Always on the same wavelength" with Pompeo.

Haspel is an "outstanding person."

 

[TheCount]

This kind of thing will get you banned in short order.

If you mean zionists say zionists.

He doesn't.

 

[goldenequity]

just for the record....

Pompeo visited Ukraine in early March, had "secret meeting" with Poroshenko - Lyashko
Interfax





Trump just added another layer of arrogance and myopia to his 'team'.
Listen to ANY of his interviews. Pompeo is intransigent and hardened in EVERY single opinion he expresses.
This is the new FACE of the Empire.

According to the Moscow Times, Russian senators have expressed cautious optimism over Donald Trump's announcement of Mike Pompeo as the new U.S. Secretary of State. “Russia will cooperate with those who are appointed to this or another post in the Trump administration,” the state-run RIA Novosti news agency cited senior Federation Council senator Yevgeny Serebrennikov as saying Tuesday.
Throwing some shade at failed attempts at detente between Putin and Trump, Serebrennikov addded that "we pursued and are pursuing a course to reduce tensions in relations between our countries, but our partners do not see this aspiration."
The Federation Council's International Affairs Committee deputy chairman Vladimir Dzhabarov said that Pompeo "may have the chance to become a man who will stop our relations from dropping rock-bottom,” the RBC business portal reported.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reacted to the news with an ironic “have they started blaming Russia for Washington’s staff reshuffles yet?” question in remarks to Interfax.

Oh great the CIA is now in control of our foreign policy. What could possibly go wrong?

Relax. All part of Trump's Genius Master Plan (TM) 46D chess and all that. /s

Interesting: The new CIA Director Haspel, who "tortured some folks," probably can't travel to the EU to meet other spy chiefs without facing arrest due to an @ECCHRBerlin complaint to Germany's federal prosecutor. Details: https://t.co/7q4euQKtm7

Supposedly the new CIA director Gina Haspel is pro torture just like Trump promised when he was running for president.

Gina Haspel the Torture Demon

Gina Haspel … played a leading role in running a US torture site abroad and later destroyed the evidence of it. In 2002, she oversaw a secret prison in Thailand that tortured two terrorism suspects. That torture took place within the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” program, in which suspected terrorists are sent to US allies, and interrogated in “black sites” on their soil.

One of the men … was waterboarded 83 times in one month and was slammed into walls by the head. He was deprived of sleep and kept in a coffin-like box. Interrogators later decided he didn’t have any useful information. …

Haspel personally signed cables to CIA headquarters that detailed Zubayda’s interrogation. CIA videos of the torture were destroyed in 2005, on the orders of a cable drafted by Haspel. … “The cable left nothing to chance. It even told them how to get rid of the tapes,” … “They were to use an industrial-strength shredder to do the deed.” …

The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights … has been pushing Germany’s public prosecutor to arrest Haspel for her role in the torture program. …

New secretary of state Mike Pompeo has also defended US torture. …

Couldn't do the firing in person- had to do it on Twitter.

 

[juleswin]

I smell Hebrews.

I don't get it. Did u not smell it during the campaign? Or by the people he surrounds himself with. Trump love for the jewish people, Israel, zionism is one thing most consistent about him.

This is why I was so confused when some of u white nationalists kept supporting him despite this fact.

 

[pcosmar]

So now the CIA is officially in charge of our foreign policy, only good can come from that.

Nothing good has ever come out of the CIA.

Most definitely an "outstanding person." But not in a good way.

This is going to unleash WW3. Israel is adamant that Assad must go and right now is butthurt that the terrorists lost. The only reason the US is still in Syria is to help regroup, rearm and rebrand the remaining terrorists for the another round. Russia will not allow Assad to fall. This sets up an inevitable military confrontation between Russia and the US, which could come at any time. I smell chemical weapons.

Belgium is handing out free iodine pills. Not a bad precaution since the NATO headquarters is a no-brainer priority target.

Gerisamov today basically called the hegemons out: (Russian MoD.. 'Mad Dog's counterpart )

We know who/how and where you are going to stage the 'chemical' false flag op... complete with White Helmets/Production Crew/Satellite uplink.
We know you are planning to then strike.
Do it, and we will take out your missiles, aircraft and carrier.

Watch:

Hopefully.. this worked today.
Both militaries are said to have open lines of communication and are in contact.

Don't you remember? Trump's an "alpha ." That was one of his "poistive" traits during the campaign. That shit is like waving a red cape in front of a bull to him.

Like I added: Both militaries are said to have open lines of communication and are in contact.

The military is a 'different world' apart from ALL other influences. It really is.
Emotions and rhetoric aside they think in terms of lethal force only and weigh it, not the political aftermath.
It's all they do.
That's a good thing.

It's when they CLOSE off communication we should REALLY be worried.
