The lifers at State are the same ones who executed a coup in 2014 against Ukraine\u2019s government and threw out the elected president Victor Yanukovych because he tilted to join a Russian-backed regional customs union rather than NATO. &nbsp;State\u2019s diplomatic lifers are old hands at coups. Now they\u2019re at it at home, right here in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since the Maidan Revolution of 2014, they have worked sedulously to exert control over Ukrainian affairs. And they especially can\u2019t stand that the recently elected president Zelensky declared that he wants to improve his country\u2019s relationship with next-door-neighbor (and ex-sovereign) Russia. The occupant of the White House, Mr. Trump, had often expressed a similar interest to improve the USA\u2019s relations with Russia. State would prefer to amp up a new cold war. Mr. Trump has some nerve&nbsp;<em>interfering<\/em>&nbsp;with that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lifers at State also have something to hide: their exertions to connive with Ukraine government officials they controlled to&nbsp;<em>interfere<\/em>&nbsp;in the 2016 US presidential election in favor of their former boss, Mrs. Clinton. The current impeachment spectacle is an attempt to pitch a smokescreen over that embarrassing mess, which includes the CIA\u2019s and FBI\u2019s efforts to blame Russia for their own illegal interventions in the 2016 election \u2014 the heart of the three-year impeachment narrative. The Joe-and-Hunter Biden affair is the left anterior descending artery in that heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current testimony in the House Intel Committee raises another question. Whose back-channel diplomats are legitimate in US foreign policy: Mr. Trump\u2019s personal lawyer, Rudolf Giuliani, or State\u2019s own boy, billionaire freelance international political adventurer George Soros? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Deep State\u2019s Deep State Department For now, it comes down to this: the US State Department is at war with the White House.&nbsp; State\u2019s allies in the Democratic majority congress want to help overthrow the occupant of the White House because he\u2019s&nbsp;interfering&nbsp;in the department\u2019s foreign policy.
