NYTimes’ new feature profiles Richard N. Haass, the longest serving president of the Council on Foreign Relations, focusing on his decision to step down from the institution itself regarded as the oldest of America’s policy thinktanks. The article delves into Haass’s slow disillusionment with the direction the country’s taking amid the changing world.
Good riddance though I don't suppose the next person will be any more reflective nor question war as a vehicle of foreign policy. Your most important line I believe is "Now, alarmed by what’s become of the country his own outfit contributed to destabilizing, Haass declares that the next phase of his life will be devoted to spreading awareness of ‘civic virtues’. "
This is no different from all Neo-cons or Atlanticists, heavens even McNamara recanted/regretted. Too little too frigging late. The dogs of hell are unmasked and unleashed.
And just who is this globalist snake who has slithered around the planet promoting the Worst of All Possible Worlds?
"Haass was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, the son of Marcella (née Rosenthal) and Irving B. Haass."
I mean, it's just a joke at this point. An ever-returning joke. And obviously, his replacement is from the Our Gang crowd as well, because what else?
"Froman grew up in a Jewish family in San Rafael and graduated from the Branson School."
But Simplicius, I assure you, Froman does not consider himself an "old white man" at all.
Anyway, what is this obsession with "democracy"? Why do I give two flips if Nation A is a democracy or not? Are they reasonable? Can I engage with their leadership in a sensible and mutually beneficial way? Then who cares! Though of course, "democracy" is just a cover word for all the joys of GloboHomo moral degeneracy they seek to impose everywhere. Because really, nobody cares if you're a dictator, as long as you're a PRO GAY dictator.
Making a career in this way within “think tanks” feels a very odd thing to do, for anyone “normal”.
I was just on a plane flying to an Eastern European city from London. A number of people near me seemed to be associated with Chatham House, the British semi official think tank. These are people I would normally go a long way to avoid. One of them was brandishing a paper from June 2023: “How to end Russia’s War on Ukraine: Safeguarding Europes future and the dangers of a false peace”. It is worth checking out on their website but seems to be saying that only total Ukrainian victory over Russia is acceptable and anything else is a sell out. It has multiple authors who clearly make money by fomenting war, one of whom happens to have been a tutor of mine in Soviet Studies many years ago at Oxford. At that time I thought he was sensible but he is now funded to work for some Baltic States think tank (as well as Chatham House, it seems) and spouting pro war, anti Russia propaganda is presumably part of the deal.
These people were quite open in their conversation. At one point they discussed the Ukraine counter offensive and the “dangers” of peace negotiations. One of them then said that it needs to be seen as a series of offensives! That could go on for months, They also expressed indignation that Russia has any valid security concerns with respect to Ukraine and one of them said that nobody has ever articulated what they are. Clearly, these people want never ending war. It pays them and let’s them feel relevant, I guess.
I think they were traveling to a conference. It is nice work if you can get it. What tickled me most was that at one point we had minor turbulence. One of those people shrieked when it happened. Clearly, she has never been under artillery fire and has no idea what real war means. Richard Haas and all of these characters seem to live in an unreal bubble where they just write reports and exchange intellectual ideas with zero understanding of reality. Sorry for the rant but their conversation was appalling. Obviously, on a plane one does not choose to tell them their fortune but in a bar I would have seriously let fly. Of course, our taxes pay for this nonsense too. They also ought to be more discreet and professional on planes.
Richard Haas may in some ways now have seen the light but there is still plenty of delusion about amongst his ilk.
well said simplicius! i liked this quote especially : "during which America enjoyed the fruits of sole ‘superpower’ status, but squandered them with its bloodthirsty and immoral pursuit of total subjugation." and they are still squandering them in the same bloodthirsty and immoral way..
I don't know why you have to be so nice to these vermin.....But then again, Mr. Bnai Brith may turn out to be another Thomas Jefferson for all we know....
"Removing all possible borders to international capital" and the "commodification of all possible values" (including your precious borders and democracy) is what this guy and his ilk "globalists" are all about.
The Rothchilds et all put the chips " all in " finally to try and steal the 8 time zone Russian resources. There " ace in the hole " is that even if the west loses to a multipolar world that they can still " build back better " a bankrupted EU and US.
Therefor the East must start NOW to treat the petro dollar like " worthless dirt " that it really is. In this way the Rothchilds et all won't be able to build back better because they won't be able to use the dollar other than the places that they just destroyed, rendering their Trillions worthless.
Have a blessed day and as Sundance over at theconservativetreehouse.com says " In the mean time, live the Best Life that you can !!
Simplicious like your work . The CFR is not the Brainchild of Woodrow Wilson and I repeat NOT It is the US branch of the Royal Institute of International Affairs .

Nature cycles by the old getting crusty and peeling away, as the new grows up through the cracks in that old world. As such it is dynamic, but formed by the efforts and challenges it faces.
Often reflecting and absorbing the old world and the lessons it passes down. Yet also rebelling against the presumptions expected to be respected.
So the bigger the crash, the greater the opportunity for real change.
What should be at the forefront of this coming wave is public banking.
Government, as executive and regulatory function, amounts to the nervous system of the state, while money and banking function as blood and the circulation system. With public government and private banking, finance rules. The banks are certainly having their, "Let them eat cake." moment.
The main job the flunkies allowed in office have, is creating the debt the banks need to function. "The real money is in bonds." Public debt backing private wealth. Eventually they own the country. Making public banking the core principle of the coming revolt will be the greatest shock to these bacteria anyone could ever imagine.
Consider that Russia and China have effectively gone back to private forms of government, with Putin and Xi as respective CEO's. Specifically because the oligarchs were starting to get out of control. That is why our oligarchs hate them with such passion.

How does Schwabs WEF fit into all this?
Haas means Hate in German.

The usual world of Princelings and Paupers.
"Everything I have worked for has turned to dirt."
CFR, an arrogant, monied gathering of leeches. No more, no less.
"Removing all possible borders to international capital" and the "commodification of all possible values" (including your precious borders and democracy) is what this guy and his ilk "globalists" are all about.
I enjoyed your writing for this excellent read. Thanks my friend.
Is this gonna be the last July 4th?
What is there for Americans to celebrate?
I celebrate Russia.
Praise God for Putin .
I wonder if NATO Summit boys will discuss Hass's article and the what's happening in France.

I love simpicius' articles!
I think eventually, everyone on the sinking ship wil realize the ship is sinking
Haass is a great example.
Should he be punished for past crimes?
Is he in a mood of desperation, not for the loss of our nation, but for his crumbling power structure falling around him?
Eventually, every woke person will become an awake person. But with less time to prepare for the inevitable destruction.
Couldn't agree more with this:
"I believe in many ways that America’s time on top is up for good"

God he's so inclusive. We need more Jewish liberal lawyers making decisions. Bet some in his family even survived the holocaust.
Great piece as always bring clarity to a world gone mad.
