former Marine Corps Commandant James L. Jones likely to be national security adviser
President’s ‘Enforcer’
Jones will play the role as Obama’s “enforcer” to impose discipline and keep everyone working in tandem, said Zbigniew Brzezinski, who filled the national security adviser’s post under President Jimmy Carter. Vice President Joe Biden will also help prevent internal conflicts, Brzezinski said in an interview.
“I’m optimistic because of the strength concentrated at the White House,” Brzezinski said. “Otherwise there was a risk of a dispersal of strategy. But I think with Biden and Jones working together and dealing with the president on a daily basis, the chances of asserting control from the national security adviser’s office, which is the key office, are pretty good.”
Dr. Brzezinski said some VERY interesting things this morning. He was outlining a strategy for Obama, explain the role of National Security Adviser (and his controlling influence on the President), threatening Russia, and there were many rather bizarre comments made by the talking heads in regard to him.
Great stuff, confirming the new target is Russia, not Iraq or Iran, not even Pakistan… tho they will use Pakistan to destabilize both China and Russia.
Brzezinski: Jim Jones, Obama need a ‘cohesive relationship’
Nov. 25: Former national security adviser and Mika’s father Zbigniew Brzezinski discusses the rapport President-elect Barack Obama should be expected to have with members of Cabinet.
I’m surprised more people haven’t seen this Dennis Kucinich clip yet. It deserves more attention. He basically is calling or all the things we want, as people of good will. The original source is Russia Today. It goes without saying that this interview was ignored by the US media.
highlights:
War in Afghanistan, Iraq, & threats against Iran totally unnecessary
We need to go back to Franklin Roosevelt, the New Deal, and build infrastructure to fix the economy
We need a new energy infrastructure – wind, solar, etc
We need to cooperate with Russia to disarm & develop the world
The Polish & Czech missiles are wrong & should be removed immediately
Georgia was clearly the aggressor in the South Ossetia/Abkhazia conflict
We have to stop Brzezinski and the policy of empire
Paulson’s bailout is a failure
I’ve included a transcript of Kucinich’s answers with some commentary and links to background info. (more…)
Of course, Gloria Barger is a mouthpiece for Wall Street. We have no illusion about her loyalties to the lampreys, leeches, and asset strippers. But she makes some interesting statements nonetheless.
The incoming administration is also sending clear signals that it could delay its promise to repeal President Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy. All of which are good signs.
What we’re seeing — even before Obama is sworn in — is a changing of the guard, so the new folks are ready to take charge on Day One.
A tax cut for the wealthy is precisely what we DON’T need right now. Obviously this is bad news.
It’s very clear, from Monday’s moves, that Obama intends to act quickly. There’s no need to dethrone George W. Bush; he’s essentially already irrelevant in this process.
Obama’s plan is pretty clear: Push a stimulus package through Congress ASAP, and have it ready for the new president to sign on January 20. Obama has made its components pretty clear; a large jobs and public works program, money for green technology and, of course, those middle-class tax cuts.
“The center is the premier progressive think tank in Washington,” said Mark Green, head of the New Democracy Project, an urban-affairs institute in New York.
Just eight days after the Nov. 4 election, CAP released a 300,000-word volume called “Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President” that offers advice on issues such as economic revival and fixing the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Work on the book began almost a year ago.
CAP, which has 180 staffers and a $27 million budget, devotes as much as half of its resources to promoting its ideas through blogs, events, publications and media outreach.
The center’s future was far from certain in 2003, when wealthy donors such as Soros and film producer Stephen Bing gave $10 million or more to fill what they believed was an intellectual void in the Democratic Party and create a vehicle to produce an agenda for the party’s eventual return to power.
There’s a lot more in the original article that I didnt cover and it’s worth checking out. The general point is that Obama is a puppet of finance capital including Soros, the puppet-master of the Ukraine Orange Revolution.
To Dr. Brzezinski, I can’t say enough about his contribution to our country. Here’s somebody who helped to shape Camp David and bring about a lasting peace between Israel and some of its neighbors. Somebody who has over decades trained some of the most prominent foreign policy specialists, not just in the Democratic party but has trained a number who ended up in the Republican party as well. He is one of our most outstanding scholars, one of our most outstanding thinkers. He has proven to be an outstanding friend and somebody who I’ve learned an immense amount from. And for him to support me in this campaign and then be willing to come out here to Iowa is testimony to his generosity. So if everybody could please give Dr. Brzezinski another round of applause..”
In my view it’s a true statement that Barack Obama “can’t say enough about (Brzezinski’s) contribution to our country”. Zbigniew recruited Obama and essentially created his political career, much like he created Jimmy Carter. You might say Obama is Carter v2.
