Utopia Talk / Politics / 23 Biden Admins All Came From WestExec

nhill Member	Tue Jul 06 13:17:48 http://bec...m-the-same-shadowy-firm-40126/ Many of the highest-ranking members of the Biden administration came from the same shadowy firm. It is a relatively new name among revolving-door power brokers in Washington D.C., which makes it all the more surprising. Founded in 2017, WestExec describes itself as a “diverse group of senior national security professionals with the most recent experience at the highest levels of the U.S. government. With deep knowledge and networks in the fields of defense, foreign policy, intelligence, cybersecurity, international economics, and strategic communications, our team has worked together around the White House Situation Room table, deliberating and deciding our nation’s foreign and national security policies.” WestExec Advisors gets its name from “West Executive Avenue,” which the official site says is “the closed street that runs between the West Wing of the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. It is, quite literally, the road to the Situation Room, and it is the road everyone associated with WestExec Advisors has crossed many times en route to meetings of the highest national security consequence.” At least we can rest easy that it hasn’t been President Joe Biden who has been calling the shots. But a closer look at WestExec Advisers finds that it manages portfolios for some of the biggest companies in the world, drawing concerns about private companies co-opting U.S. security and intelligence policies. However, WestExec does not publicly disclose the names of its clients, only describing them in broad terms. “The insularity of this network of policymakers poses concerns about the potential for groupthink, conflicts of interest, and what can only be called, however oxymoronically, legalized corruption,” The Intercept/American Prospect noted on WestExec’s influence. “The private sector can in essence co-opt the public sector.” WestExec has staffed the administration with over 23 of its executives, who have sprawled out across the national security and intelligence apparatus. The Intercept and The American Prospect dug into these profiles, and some of the biggest names in government are among them, including: Tony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State; Co-founder and managing partner of WestExec Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence; Principal David S. Cohen, Deputy Director at the CIA; Principal Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General; Principal Chris Inglis, National Cyber Director; Principal Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary; Senior Adviser Ely Ratner, Asst. Sec. of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs; Senior Adviser It is an impressive list, as concerning as it might be that one security cabal could singlehandedly consolidate such influence in one presidential administration. But the list isn’t finished yet. Colin Thomas-Jensen, National Security Director for USAID; Senior Adviser Michael Camilleri, Sr. Adviser to USAID Admin.; Senior Adviser Gabrielle Chefitz, Special Asst. to Under Sec. of Defense for Policy; Senior Associate Julianne Smith, Senior Adviser to Sec. of State; Senior Adviser Barbara Leaf, Senior Director for Middle East, NSC; Senior Adviser Elizabeth Rosenberg, Counselor to Deputy Sec. of Treasury; Senior Advisor Matt Olsen, Asst. Attorney General; Principal These weren’t all the Biden advisers and Biden/Harris transition team members listed in the report. “The WestExec to Biden administration pipeline, part two. Not pictured: senior adviser to the domestic policy adviser Erin Pelton; director of scheduling for the secretary of state Sarah McCool; nominee for assistant secretary of defense Celeste Wallander; Biden-Harris transition team advisers Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Cristina Killingsworth, Jay Shambaugh, and Puneet Talwar; deputy director for the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission John Costello; and vice chair of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence Robert O. Work.” Did you think that must be it? Wrong. There are even more in mid-tier positions throughout the administration. “Even Bidenworld’s backbenchers are entangled in the firm,” the Intercept/American Prospect report states. “The Biden-Harris transition team was advised by WestExec consultants Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Puneet Talwar, Jay Shambaugh, and Cristina Killingsworth. Further, the firm’s members oversee influential nonpartisan federal commissions: Robert O. Work at the National Security Commission for Artificial Intelligence and John Costello at the Cyberspace Solarium Commission.” That makes for at least thirty executives from one shadowy firm that has spread its tentacles around a single presidential administration. If that isn’t a ‘takeover’ of the U.S. government, then what is?

Dukhat Member	Tue Jul 06 15:19:58 Foreskin prefers Koch-sources which is why he never cites anything anymore.
nhill Member	Tue Jul 06 15:34:53 Start getting along or get out of my thread. Final warning.
nhill Member	Tue Jul 06 15:37:33 Yes. I’m talking to you, Ducky.
Rugian Member	Tue Jul 06 15:50:52 Just went to Vox and looked at their current top stories: -"Political Polarization is Killing People" (basically a "Trump and Republicans are responsible for letting hundreds of thousands of people die of Covid" editorial) -"What a Reagan-era law can teach Democrats about legalizing undocumented immigrants" (basically a HEY DEMOCRATIC PARTY HERE'S AN IDEA FOR YOU post) -"Who gets to be a critic?" (this one is a whinefest that too many movies critics are white males) -"Animals are shrinking. Blame climate change." (Who gives a fuck) -"Tucker Carlson’s NSA spying claims are evidence-free. Republicans are running with them anyway." (From tumbleweed's favorite source Adam Rupar - he's basically deepthroating the NSA, which isn't surprising since leftists are now cheerleaders of the surveillance state) -"TikTok’s catfish problem is worse than you think" (apparently white TikTok users are appropriating black and Asian culture, which is a problem somehow) No wonder Dukhat believes in so much stupid shit if this is what he is reading every day.
Habebe Member	Tue Jul 06 16:32:03 Rupar is Tumbleweed. Cultural appropriation by today's standards is absurd. We should encourage blending aspects of culture.

Forwyn Member	Tue Jul 06 18:20:33 "Foreskin prefers Koch-sources which is why he never cites anything anymore." Or we're all 30+ year old men (other than CC, who is far more intelligent than you anyway) who know how to use search engines, and there is no need for citations in an informal setting unless there is a disagreement of facts. Most of our disagreements are personal inference or ideology-based, you're just a whiny faggot who wants statements such as, "The sky is blue" cited, because under CRT educational models, such a statement doesn't account for the various life experiences of oppressed minorities. Whining about sources has always been the laziest, faggiest form of discourse, and we all recognized that fifteen years ago, as pimply-faced teenagers trying to attribute blame for the housing market crash. That's why you get written off with Vox comments.
