James Baker says Rex Tillerson will be “excellent secretary of state”
Published on Dec 14, 2016
James Baker served as secretary of state in the first Bush White House during the First Gulf War, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. He also worked as treasury secretary and chief of staff for President Ronald Reagan. Baker, a friend of ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, explains why he has “great confidence” in the secretary of state nominee, and why he is “not worried” about his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
COMMENTARY
James Baker, a Texas “aristocrat”, and former secretary of state under George H.W. Bush, is a smooth liar. Here he competently tells a few more, but on the whole his interview proves clearly disappointing to his disinformer hosts who fail in their attempt to make him say something compromising or negative about Exxon’s Rex Tillerson. Keep in mind that we are not cheering for Tillerson here, as filthy a member of the ruling class as they come, simply underscoring the appalling and criminal hypocrisy of the US establishment in general, and especially one of its visible instruments, the corporate media, currently overwhelmingly allied with Hillary and her Democratic party crooks.
Trump’s unexpected election, and now his controversial nominations, including Tillerson’s, are letting a ray of sunlight into the normally obscure corridors of power and sordid machinations of the Deep State, where at least 2 factions are currently slugging it out for control.
Tillerson is clearly an enemy of the environment, fought dirty to get rid of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, but he’s also an enemy—for strictly business reasons—of any demented confrontation with Russia, an advanced nuclear power. That aspect of his background may inject a measure of sanity in US policy toward Moscow, at least, and begin to dismantle the rabid Neocon vermin, a major threat to peace and humanity—and everything that still lives on the face of the planet. Not to mention the Neocons’ baleful influence as vectors for Zionist influence on US foreign policy across the globe. While Trump is hardly an enemy of Israel, and has said some pretty abject things indicating his willingness to collaborate with Jerusalem, his possible rapprochement with Russia may force him to plot a different trajectory in the Middle East, possibly miles from what the warmongering cabals under Obama and Clinton expected under a Hillary reign.
It’s clear that, given the rottenness of the US political system, there are no free lunches when it comes to the leaders of the “Free World.”
BELOW: Another glaring instance of the malicious mainstream Clinton media in action. Again, bear in mind that all these aggressive questioning would be healthy in a true democracy, but, aside from the fact that they never did anything like this during Obama’s tenure, the motives of these pretend journalists in this case have nothing to do with democratic purposes, or real concern about foreign meddling (which probably both know to be false) and a lot to do with running interference against Trump to facilitate the return to power of the Clinton/Obama wing of the kleptocracy.
Here the notoriously corrupt duo of Norah O’Donnell and Charlie Rose press Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway on Trump Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson’s ties with Vladimir Putin, and the supposedly terrible Russian meddling in the sacrosanct US elections. It’s obvious this is all part of a scheme to block Trump’s accession to power on Jan. 20 under some kind of accusation of being compromised due to “criminal” ties to a foreign power, vote rigging, or similar nonsense. (See other articles on this topic, especially Michel Chossudovsky’s analyses.)
In the end, whichever wing of the degenerate, rapacious US ruling class emerges as the winner, the American people and the world will be taken to the cleaners and face stormy waters. For a long time now, and made more undeniable by this election, the only choices the current system allows are between which kind of disaster we’d rather see in the White House. Indeed, with Trump, the always cowardly and obtuse “lesser evilism” favored by liberals has run its course.
