    The State Department is populated by the children, relatives, and associates of the power-elite in the United States. They are there to grease the wheels of graft for self-same.

    That's at the granular- to mid-level of diplomatic activity. The macro-level of diplomacy, policy direction and all that, are not determined by diplomats but by Congress and the President, who are themselves extensions of the power-elite.

    And all of that is a complex of the self-interest and egos of the power-elite, which is only reified to "policy" and "strategy" for the purposes of public consumption, to continue to lull the meatbags who trudge off to their 9-to-5 jobs and stupidly pay taxes, like cattle, into thinking that somebody in the federal government knows what they're doing. They don't. None of them do.

    That is reality, and it is vast and sobering.

    More and more I'm thinking you've just been a long dormant sleeper account. Make a HUGE stink as a liberal then slowly walk back until you're a neo-con. You're most of the way to parroting Libertarian garbage already. Also it makes sense with your constant Clinton bashing during the election run-up.

    Who knows what is really going on with so many fake personas running around the net these days, but your transition has been a weird one to observe.

      Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

      I'd like to think that Soylent is too small....
