Does Hillary Clinton see a road back to the White House?
The former first lady and twice-failed presidential candidate appeared this month to signal to the political establishment that she’s ready to keep serving their interests, penning a pro-Biden op-ed in the top globalist magazine Foreign Affairs.
The magazine is the flagship publication of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), long recognized by students of the Deep State as one of the chief insider groups that recruits and trains America’s elite for the purpose of promoting globalism and socialism. Getting published in Foreign Affairs, in addition to being a CFR member, is a traditional indicator that an individual is being groomed by the establishment for a prominent role in government or business.
Clinton’s op-ed, entitled “A National Security Reckoning: How Washington Should Think About Power,” claims there’s a lot wrong with America’s approach to national security — and lays much of the blame on the Trump administration.
“In a year marked by plague and protest, Americans are reckoning with long-overdue questions about racial justice, economic inequality, and disparities in health care. The current crisis should also prompt a reckoning about the United States’ national security priorities,” Clinton writes, arguing that the country is unprepared for a range of threats.
For Clinton, national defense is about more than stockpiling “legacy weapons.” It extends to climate change and pandemics such as COVID-19.
“For decades, policymakers have thought too narrowly about national security and failed to internalize — or fund — a broader approach that encompasses threats not just from intercontinental ballistic missiles and insurgencies but also from cyberattacks, viruses, carbon emissions, online propaganda, and shifting supply chains,” the former secretary of state argues. “There is no more poignant example than the current administration’s failure to grasp that a tourist carrying home a virus can be as dangerous as a terrorist planting a pathogen.”
Predictably, Clinton says President Trump failed to live up to standards set by Barack Obama. “President Barack Obama’s national security staff left a 69-page playbook for responding to pandemics, but President Donald Trump’s team ignored it, focusing instead on the threat of bioterrorism,” her article reads.
Ironically, Clinton critiques America’s dependence on China for much of its manufacturing, as evidenced by the country’s reliance on Chinese personal protective equipment amid the COVID-19 pandemic — even though it is President Trump who has not only spoken out against China, but aggressively acted against the red giant despite the fearful cries of “trade war!” from establishment mouthpieces such as Clinton and Foreign Affairs.
“The pandemic has underscored how much the United States relies on China and other countries for vital imports — not just lifesaving medical supplies but also raw materials such as rare-earth minerals and electronic equipment that powers everything from telecommunications to weapons systems,” Clinton writes.
Moreover, Clinton calls for the “modernization” of the U.S. military, which she acknowledges would result in massive job losses: “No one should pretend that every defense job can be saved or replaced. Cutting hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending over the next decade will inevitably inflict a painful toll on families and communities across the country.”
The Council on Foreign Relations was founded by agents of the Rockefeller, Morgan, and other powerful financial dynasties to promote U.S. entry into the United Nations. Admiral Chester Ward, former judge advocate of the U.S. Navy, was a CFR member for 16 years before resigning in disgust. He stated: “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence, and submergence into an all-powerful one-world government.”
Members of the CFR have dominated the administrations of every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the Cabinet and sub-Cabinet level. It does not matter whether the president is a Democrat or Republican.
Clinton’s op-ed in Foreign Affairs less than a month before the election is a case in curious timing that begs the question: Is she auditioning for a role in a potential Biden administration? Given the national defense focus of her article, it would appear that the former secretary of state wants a shot at her old job, or perhaps a job in the Defense or National Security Departments.
And considering the potentially very short term in office that an elderly, enfeebled President Biden would likely have, perhaps Clinton sees a possible Cabinet position as an eleventh-hour attempt at realizing her presidential ambitions.
