Romney's Foreign Policy Advisers Exposed as Globalists

Activist Post

June 15, 2012

Several months ago, when some still questioned the destiny of Mitt Romney as the Republican Presidential Nominee, the Romney campaigned demonstrated its own lack of doubt on the issue by announcing a stable of foreign policy advisers and various working groups specific to issues and regions. The list of Romney’s foreign policy team consisted of 22 advisers as well as 13 working groups.

The list was initially published at least as far back as October 6, 2011 in the Washington Post article by Philip Rucker entitled, “Mitt Romney taps foreign policy, national security advisers.”

The list was initially published at least as far back as October 6, 2011 in the Washington Post article by Philip Rucker entitled, “Mitt Romney taps foreign policy, national security advisers.”

Considering Romney’s attendance at the 2012 Bilderberg meeting and the apparent tendency of the elite in leaning to Romney as the next president, it is imperative that those who are aware of the forces truly guiding the United States and the rest of the world be prepared to shift gears, even if it is only temporary, and begin to expose Mitt Romney as the criminal globalist that he is.

Still, we must guard against being played like a tennis ball and rushing back into the arms of “Bush on steroids” Barack Obama. Unless we become significantly more streetwise than the general public has been in the past, the condition of the world will only continue to degenerate with every election, regardless of the results.

With this in mind, the following list is a compilation of Mitt Romney’s foreign policy advisers and links to many of their affiliations. This list is by no means comprehensive. However, one should pay careful attention to the preponderance of individuals associated with the George W. Bush administration, Project For A New American Century,[1] and the Council on Foreign Relations.

Also, bear in mind that some links will direct the reader to a homepage or online database that will require some further searching.

Mitt Romney taps foreign policy, national security advisers



October 6, 2011

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Thursday announced a team of dozens of foreign policy and national security advisers, tapping an array of Bush administration veterans and former lawmakers to help him shape his defense, intelligence and counterterrorism proposals.

The announcement of 22 special advisers as well as leaders of 13 separate regional and issue-specific working groups comes as Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and businessman, prepares to deliver a major foreign policy address at the Citadel here on Friday.

By rolling out his advisory team and policy specifics this week, Romney, the front-runner in national polls for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, is trying to stand out from his opponents by showing a command of foreign policy and national security issues.

“America and our allies are facing a series of complex threats,” Romney said in a statement. “To shape them before they explode into conflict, our foreign policy will have to be guided by a strategy of American strength.

PS - If you thought Bush & Obama was enough, just wait til these 'Criminals' get their hands on you..! (In some cases, again i.e. Chertoff)

The Psychopathic (Evil Doers) are relentless...

Wave after Wave after Wave of these 'Criminals' are attacking our Sovereign Countries all over the world..!

...Make 'No Mistake About It' - (ALL) of us are Doomed if this is allowed to continue much longer..!

That sounds pretty 'Pessimistic' doesn't it...

The 'Blades' have been 'Sharpened and the 'Globalist Knives' are out ready to slaughter anyone who gets in their way...

I don't know how this is going to all play-out..?

Be rest assured their is going to be alot more 'Pain' absorbed before this 'Nightmare' is no more..! If ever..?

[ghostrider]

All politicians are globalist. thanks for the info Jackovesk, this globalism stuff is deeper than we know. I call both parties republicrats . one and the same. Interesting that a governor has so many ties with people in power in other countries .

[kathymarie]

S**t...what's a body to do? Especially considering the alternative! I doubt very much anyone who is NOT a globalist on board with a NWO agenda would ever be in the running for president. Sickening, isn't it?

Another great post jack. Hi kathymarie, the best that you could do is spread this infomation far & wide. I would also abstain from voting(imho).

There was a time when it seemed to me to be revolutionary thinking on my part to have figured out that the Global Controllers/Financial Elite/Dark Cabal/Rulers of the World selected which US presidential candidate to give a "boost" to. I laugh now at how naive I was.

I am now convinced that these nefarious sociopathic monsters completely own both of the two pretend-to-be-at-odds US political parties, and that they pre-select every (final) presidential candidate. They also hand-select at least 90% of the other high offices (major cabinet positions, senators, representatives, supreme court and other federal judges, Fed chair, and heads of most of the federal departments - USDA, FDA, EPA, etc.) that could have any real impact on the corporatocracy.

I see them deliberately allowing (or possibly even deliberately inserting) a small handful of vocal dissidents into Congress, whose job it is to act as pressure relief valves for the public. Without them, the public might actually explode into rebellion, or at least many more people would catch on to the game (puppet show.)

If the Financial elite want Obama and his dirty rotten scoundrels to play the roles again, they will win. If the Financial Elite see an advantage to having Romney and his troupe of miscreant misanthropes, they will win. ALL of (higher-level, US) politics is a rehearsed play. Although I had big problems with Ron Paul and did not want him either, he never had a ghost of a chance. "You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind..." and you sure as hell don't telegraph the fact that you want to shut down the Federal Reserve and expect to be one of the two pre-selected for the Big Show by the Dark Cabal.

If Mitt Romney and his goon squad looks MUCH worse on paper than Obama's, then either Obama's gang is sneakier, or the Dark Cabal wants to scare more of the sound asheep into trumpeting Obama. As the Cabal well knows, how can you join in a revolution when you and 50 million others voted for the current Creep in the Oval Office?

Jackovesk-

You know that all politicians are corrupt. Democrat and Republican alike. Obama picked many of Clinton's people and Bush, Jr. recycled his father's cronies. It never changes and probably won't for a very long time. I doubt that there's one truly decent politician in the Senate or Congress. At the very least, they don't remain decent for long. Every one of them comes out a multi-millionaire because of insider information. They know before anyone else does, what's going to happen in their districts, and then they use their knowledge to buy land, invest in a particular company, etc. It has been this way since the founding of this country. The stakes are just higher now than years ago.

I see you don't like Michael Chertoff. He's an attorney from my home state and I know him, so I won't comment. I can tell you that he's a very likely pick for Attorney General if Romney wins. Then again, look at who we have now as Attorney General. In the end, does it really matter? We're screwed, no matter what.

Chertoff

The real pressure valve is the process of voting itself, mass delusions of representation. Voting is superfluous. When the population finally figures that little smoke and mirrors stunt, then there might me some kind of revolution.

By the way, if you hate Michael Chertoff, wait until you see who's probably going to replace Eric Holder (he's from my state too)

I was once working on a client (I am an LMT) and the subject of Wash DC came up. I opined that we would all be better off if the town was nuked. The person on the table remarked that they lived there, so I offered that it should happen while they were out of town.

I might not have gotten a tip. I did stand my ground and that is worth far more than a gratuity.

According to Gordon Duff, Romney has 4 wives. It is costing him millions to keep it covered up, according to Duff. Romney is purported to be a multi-billionaire with most money in tax-free shelters. Clearly, the USA presidency pays a lot more than the official salary.
