Trump Can Fix Biased, Bloated Bureaucracy, by Abolishing The Civil Service by Glenn H. Reynolds
A new broom sweeps clean, goes the old saying, but President Trump needs to approach the federal bureaucracy with more than just a broom.
Maybe something like a bulldozer.
With an imminent budget crisis — on her way out the door, Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen informed us that, oh by the way, the federal government was out of cash — Trump should seize the opportunity to slash spending, lay off federal employees (permanently), move federal offices to lower-cost areas like Plattsburgh, NY or Las Vegas (New Mexico’s Las Vegas, not the Nevada one), and impound funds earmarked for unproductive regulations and operations.
DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, will produce a long-term plan, but Trump should strike hard with such initial savings right off the bat.
And there’s another move that Trump should take, one that will not only save money and improve efficiency, but also return the United States to the Founders’ intent: He should abandon the bloated, unconstitutional federal civil-service system.
Prior to the adoption of the Pendleton Act in 1883, government employment operated according to the “spoils system,” under which hiring in the executive branch was controlled by the president, the actual executive.
When a new administration came in, everyone’s job was up for grabs, at least potentially.
This “rotation in office” had several advantages, which were widely appreciated at the time and propounded by presidents from Jefferson to Jackson to Lincoln.
Chief among them: Instead of an entrenched bureaucracy, rotation in office meant fresh blood.
Contrary to popular belief, the arrival of a new president didn’t mean that everyone with a government job left it.
Even Andrew Jackson, upon taking office as an iconoclastic outsider, replaced only about 10% of the federal workforce with his own people.
Every president understood the value of continuity — and hiring new people is hard work.
But under the spoils system, the fact that the president could replace anyone meant that everyone worked for him.
This had two critical consequences: It meant that every federal employee was responsible to the president, and that the president was responsible for them — and for everything they did.
This is consistent with the Constitution’s vesting clause, which provides that “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
If the executive branch does it, it’s an executive power, and if it’s an executive power it should be directly controlled by the president.
Under our “professional” civil service, though, no one is really in charge.
Presidents can’t fire the government’s many middle, and even fairly senior, managers without a lot of hassle.
The thought was that this would give us an efficient, well-run government staffed by politically neutral, expert bureaucrats.
We don’t have those.
They’re not neutral, for one thing; they’re Democratic apparatchiks who can’t be fired by a Republican president — or a Democratic one, for that matter.
Federal workers donate overwhelmingly to Democrats.
A recent poll by Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan Institute found that huge numbers of federal managers — 42% — would do their best to resist the Trump administration’s initiatives, something we saw occurring during Trump’s first term.
Not only that, they’re not experts, either: I defy anyone to examine the record of the federal bureaucracy over the past decade and suggest that it reeks of expertise.
It just plain reeks.
So “rotation in office” is unlikely to cost us expertise, but it would improve legitimacy.
The massive growth of the administrative state over the last century-plus has been justified by the claim that all these unelected bureaucrats making decisions are in fact supervised by the president, who is elected by the nation, thus legitimizing their actions.
But with 2.28 million civilian employees, that hasn’t actually been true for decades.
It is time for the civil service to go.
Replacing this failed system with something more politically responsive is likely to function better, and is certainly more in line with the notion of democracy than leaving most of our government in the hands of an unaccountable, left-liberal monoculture.
Its takeover by “professional” bureaucrats who get there thanks to exams and degrees is just another example of the gentry-class colonization of formerly diverse professions.
(Journalism, once a blue-collar profession now dominated by elite college grads, is another).
Well, the educated upper classes haven’t performed especially well lately — and as they’re the ones constantly prating about diversity, they should appreciate a more diverse federal bureaucracy.
Time for President Trump to make it so: Abolish the civil service, and restore American democracy.

What those with no grasp of history fail to understand is that mass immigration is worse for a nation than a military invasion. Considerably worse. Because, as we have already witnessed from Afghanistan to Iraq, soldiers go home when the military occupation is over. Immigrants don’t. Just ask the Palestinians how mass immigration has affected them. Or the Native Americans. This is why, as historian Martin van Creveld has concluded, immigration is war. - Vox Day

Can America Survive if the Guilty Are Left Unpunished? by Kevin Downey
No, the nation will not survive if there isn't a reckoning for politicians overtly working against Americans.
History is full of stories of oppressed people rising and overcoming the tyrants who have wronged them. Sometimes the stories end with the two sides peacefully agreeing to make changes. Other times it has ended in a one-way walk up the stairs to a guillotine.
Romania's despotic communist leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, had his brains relocated to a brick wall after Romanians had enough of his tyranny.
Italy's Fascist WWII leader, Benito Mussolini, was last seen hanging upside down in Milan next to his squeeze, both of whom had been recently perforated with a machine gun.
Notable Nazis found "Spandau Ballet" as the last entry on their dance cards.
When I say a reckoning is necessary, I am not condoning violence. But history has shown us that if humans don't pay a price for their crimes, violence will likely become that last resort. I hope it never comes to that.
We as a nation are well beyond asking questions like, "Why are MAGA grannies getting busted for a peaceful 10-minute walk in the Capitol, but Antifa and BLM were allowed to burn the nation with near impunity?"
Then there was that whole censoring-Americans-on-social-media thing, when the CIA, FBI, and other governmental agencies convinced social media companies to shut down people who dared challenge the notion that COVID vaccines and masks made a difference.
We sat still as eight Trump associates were sentenced to prison (not to mention the DOJ's maniacal efforts to send Trump as well). Yet, the Biden Crime Family still hasn't been charged despite the overwhelming evidence of bribery and influence peddling against them.
We said nothing as the woman who found and sold Ashley Biden's diary, where Ashley admits to taking "not appropriate" showers with Joe Biden when she was a kid, was sent away to prison for a month. Yet Fani Willis, who clearly paid her man-cub mad stacks to persecute Trump, indulged in that cheddar herself, then lied about it on the stand, is somehow still on the Trump case and not in jail where she belongs.
We watched a psychotic Stalinista DA try to send Kyle Rittenhouse to prison for the rest of his life because he dared to fight back against three street animals who attacked him, one of whom aimed a handgun at him. Next up is the trial of Daniel Penny, who defended a subway car full of people against one of NYC's top 50 homeless crazies.
We stayed quiet as New York's then-governor Andrew Cuomo essentially killed 15,000 elderly people when he insanely sent them back into nursing homes despite having COVID. Biden's DOJ decided not to prosecute him.
We saw the enraging video of illegal immigrants beating the potato salad out of two NYPD cops and yet not spending a night in jail.
Even worse, some of our nation's big blue toilet cities have actually rewarded Antifa and BLM rioters over "excessive police force" as the darlings were burning buildings and fighting cops.
As if the two-tiered justice system isn't enraging enough, Americans, many of whom are struggling financially, are watching millions of illegal immigrants getting paid to replace them. Venezuelan thieves, who were given food, shelter, money, and medical care, are burglarizing the homes that squatters have not yet invaded.
Have we, as a nation, gone soft? Once upon a time, Americans flipped their wigs over a tax on tea. Today, we watch as our country gets torn asunder from within, and yet nothing is being done.
The question now is: How much longer will Americans quietly accept things like this?
My Spidey sense tells me the tyrannical left is about to awaken a sleeping giant. Humans are vengeful. We can only be pushed so far before we exact change, if not revenge.
I hope that vengeance comes in a peaceful form. Let the despotic animals who locked us down, brought us record crime, and invited our replacements over the southern border get voted out, and let a fair justice system mete out proper punishment to them if and when deemed necessary.
I agree with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in that Fauci belongs in jail for his connections to the origins of COVID and lying about it to Congress. Will he face a jury of his peers who lost loved ones to the virus he helped pay for? Will Joe Biden face charges for selling access to the Chinese and Russians?
No, I suspect some people are too powerful to pay. However, for this nation to heal, all the tyrants, whether in D.C., the DOJ, or the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, must be held responsible.
As we have seen, Democrats don't punish their own. Eight illegal immigrants in Da Bronx were recently arrested with drugs, guns, and a seven-year-old child. Six were back on the streets within hours. Meanwhile, Trump ally Allen Weisselberg was sent back to jail on Wednesday for five months for perjury. It's his second time getting locked up.
Sadly, the "freedom of the press" allows media giants such as CNN and MSNBC to blatantly lie to their weak, easily controlled viewers. However, between you and me, Rachel Maddow makes Hitler's minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, look like Honest Abe.
I don't know what shocks me more, the fact that Americans haven't so much as protested or that the Uniparty swamp wigglers who commit these atrocities don't believe a comeuppance is headed their way.
This nation needs an enema, and Washington, D.C., is a great place to put the first hose. Let the ballot box, not the cartridge box, be the answer. We are a well-armed nation (for now), and I sincerely hope the 2nd Amendment isn't needed to maintain our liberties.
You have been patient. You've been peaceful where others may not have had the same admirable restraint.

Issue has resurfaced amid Labor government's refusal to carry out public inquiry and Elon Musk intervention
The topic of the largely Muslim grooming gangs that operated in working-class areas of the U.K. and in which thousands of white girls and barely pubescent young women were routinely sexually abused over a more than 30-year period is one of the most shameful in recent British history. The issue apparently had died down a little, until two interconnected events brought it rocketing back above the surface.
The Rochdale grooming gang ringleader, (50 men who sexually abused or raped 74 underage girls) still hasn't been deported 9 years after receiving his deportation order.

GB News, which has taken a clear moral stance and reported the assailants predominantly are men of Pakistani origin – although you would be hard-pressed sometimes to glean this from the reporting of mainstream outlets – reacted with consternation bordering on disgust when the Labour Party's Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips MP rejected a call for a public inquiry into grooming gangs in Oldham. This city near to Manchester in northern England was one of the main loci of the systematic abuse over a prolonged period of young white girls.
On learning of Phillips' rejection of an inquiry, Elon Musk, who is as much of a lightning rod for issues as is President Trump, decried the government's inaction, and attacked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer into the bargain. Starmer was the director of public prosecutions between 2008-2013 and there is no doubt the grooming gangs issue would have crossed his desk. He didn't do anything about it then, was Musk's contention, and he wouldn't do anything about it now, up to and including the prevention of a thorough investigation into one of Britain's vilest episodes.
They oppose an inquiry, because it will show that those in power were complicit in the cover-up https://t.co/uLdWVRcEIg

The new co-head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency was not finished with his tirade against the British establishment. Musk liked a post from Rebel News' Avi Yemini, who called Tommy Robinson a "political prisoner."
He also called for the prosecution of politicians or those in law enforcement who helped cover up decades of abuse.

Robinson was one of those people who most vociferously called out the evil which was the grooming gangs, and he has paid for this truth-telling with his liberty. This particular aspect took another turn as Jordan Peterson, who interviewed Robinson twice, attempted to repost the first time he did so on YouTube, found the Google-owned video platform had shadow-banned it. Peterson's daughter, Mikhaila, also took to X to say she'd tried to share her father's first interview with Robinson, only to find YouTube had disabled sharing and comments. "YouTube," she wrote, "you realize you're on the side of the rapists, right?"
The fallout did not end there, as social media has been on fire all day covering and responding to the grooming gangs story. GB News presenter Matt Goodwin posted on X saying he couldn't read some of what he'd posted on air "because it was too graphic." A former prosecutor within the Crown Prosecution Service, who worked under Starmer, made an astonishing admission.
Let me clarify an issue:
I was told by some officers that Home Office Circular 17/2008 had led to others interpreting it as permitting them to allow a child, past the age of puberty, to continue engaging in sexual activity where the officer perceived them to understand dangers

As if the facts of these cases could not get worse, some fathers who managed to track down their daughters to these rape dens in an attempt to rescue them, not only found the police would not help them, but in at least two instances they were themselves arrested!
WHAT'S GOING ON???
1. Young girls were r*ped by grooming gangs in Britain.
2. In two cases, the fathers tracked down their daughters to save them.
3. The fathers were arrested by police when called to the scene.
This is unreal.

It isn't clear what will happen now, not just to Tommy Robinson, but to the U.K. too. The government is wildly unpopular, not just because of the grooming gang issue, which has been at least in the background for successive governments of all colors, but the issue is clearly coming to a head.
People in the U.K. will continue to lose trust in Starmer, with Musk's intervention in the long-running grooming gang scandal coming but a few short months after he baldly lied to the British people about the background of the attacker in Southport, who left three little girls dead after going on a demented stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. The political and cultural elites have gaslit the British working class for decades, labeling them as far-Right thugs; with regard to the grooming gangs, perhaps they were on to something.

While KBJ Enjoys Broadway, Her Constitution-Loving Supreme Court Colleagues Can Barely Leave Their Homes by Mollie Hemingway
It is very nice that Jackson gets to fulfill her dream and appear on Broadway. Conservative justices might like to fulfill much smaller dreams — such as going for a walk with their children — without facing mobs of activists.
Critics are making fun of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for her “cringe” special appearance on Saturday in a bit part of a queer-themed Broadway musical. The popular show, which imagines what would have happened if Juliet had not killed herself over Romeo, has been nominated for nine Tony awards.
In promotional material for the appearance, Jackson highlighted a curious and confusing claim from a “supplemental” application essay to Harvard University that she wanted to attend there in order “to fulfill my fantasy of becoming the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage.” No matter how outlandish the claim is, she accomplished her mission of being a Supreme Court justice and appearing on Broadway.
Jackson, known for being far and away the most loquacious justice during oral arguments, has only been on the court for two terms and has not yet made much of a mark with her rulings or dissents. During her confirmation proceedings, Jackson claimed she didn’t know what a woman was because she was not a “biologist.” Known for her outcome-based jurisprudence in support of abortion on demand, she also strongly supports institutional racism. She complains that the First Amendment is “hamstringing” the government’s censorship efforts.
Still, it’s nice that Jackson can appear on Broadway to rapturous applause from left-wing audiences. It’s a notable contrast to her conservative colleagues on the court, who remain under constant threats to their physical safety from left-wing activists.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer famously took to the steps of the Supreme Court itself to threaten violence against Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh if they didn’t rule on a case the way he wanted to. During the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, mobs took over Capitol rooms and buildings and pounded on the doors to the Supreme Court shouting, “Burn it to the ground!”
Prior to the release of the Dobbs decision, which returned abortion law to the people and their legislatures, an anonymous affiliate of the court leaked the decision, creating an incentive for assassination. Had any of the justices who signed onto the decision been killed before it was officially released, it would have prevented the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Left-wing activist groups posted the private addresses of justices’ homes and offered financial incentives for sightings of the justices in public. If the information were given to the mobs in time for them to show up and harass the justice, the financial incentive quadrupled. Although federal law prohibits demonstrating in front of a justice’s home in order to influence a decision, President Biden and his Attorney General Merrick Garland gave the protests a green light and claimed there was nothing they could do.
Some justices had to wear bulletproof vests to protect themselves from assassination attempts by left-wing activists. One such attempted assassin used the information posted online by pro-abortion activists to fly across the country and locate the home where Kavanaugh lives with his wife and children. He was stopped before he could kill the Kavanaugh family.
In September, an Alaska man with a history of political donations to Democrat causes was arrested for threatening six Supreme Court justices. Six justices on the court were nominated by a Republican president.
Elite law schools roll out the red carpet for left-wing justices, while those nominated by Republican presidents are either not invited or have to be quietly brought in to speak in private environments or eat their meals off campus so as not to be mobbed by the left-wing activists that dominate law schools. Notre Dame Law School is the rare exception to this, having made news by inviting both Democrat-nominated and Republican-nominated justices. Federal judges who fail to adopt the radical political views of these students find themselves attacked.
All of which to say, again, it is very nice that Jackson gets to fulfill her dream and appear on Broadway. Conservative justices might like to fulfill much smaller dreams — such as going for a walk with their children, or out to dinner with their spouse, or to the grocery store alone to pick up some food — without facing mobs of activists who seek their harm.

Inside sources said President-elect Donald Trump drew a hard line in the sand during a dinner meeting last week with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as witnesses reported overhearing Trump telling Trudeau that the U.S. would refrain from annexing Canada if they would admit that their "bacon" is just weird, gross ham.
The offer came during a tense trade tariff discussion while Trudeau visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort home last week, with Trump offering a compromise in which the U.S. would avoid adding Canada as its 51st state if Trudeau would issue a public statement revealing the true nature of Canadian bacon.
"I'll cut you a deal, Little Fidel," Trump was reportedly overheard saying. "It would be very easy for us to just absorb Canada. The maple syrup is wonderful. Everyone loves it. And all of the trees. So many trees. We could do very well with Canada, better than anyone has ever done, believe me. But I'm willing to hold off on annexing you if you're willing to drop this talk about Canadian ‘bacon.' It's not bacon, Fidel. Never has been. It's ridiculous. Nothing like bacon at all. It's fake news."
Sources present at the dinner said Trudeau was uneasy with the proposition. "He definitely seemed hesitant," one witness said. "He didn't want to have his country annexed by the U.S., but you could tell he wasn't willing to blow the lid on the Canadian bacon charade."
At publishing time, negotiations between Trump and Trudeau had reportedly hit additional snags after Trump notified Trudeau that poutine was an unacceptable way to eat french fries.

Has Bibi Achieved His Dream of Obliterating the Arab World? by Mike Whitney
This is roughly the situation on the ground today. The majority of Syria’s landmass is controlled by 5 groups: Al Qaida (HTS), the Kurds (SDF), the IDF (Israel), the Turks, and remnants of the Syrian Army (SAA). Of course, the situation is extremely fluid so some of the territory is likely to change hands in the near future as rival groups fight among themselves. But here’s what won’t change: A government will not emerge that is capable of stitching together a unified, contiguous, viable centrally-governed Syrian state. That’s not going to happen. The various armies are too powerful for any one group to crush the others and reestablish a government that rules all of Syria’s previously controlled territory.
Why does that matter?
Because we need to acknowledge that Israel has accomplished what it sought from the very beginning; they not only enlisted allies to help them topple Assad, but they also obliterated the Syrian state. Syria is gone; it no longer exists. And that has been Israel’s goal for more than 40 years.
So, we shouldn’t view the events of the last week as random or spontaneous, because they are neither. Everything that has taken place aligns closely with a strategic blueprint produced by a Zionist intellectual (Oded Yinon) more than four decades ago and which—according to biographer Israel Shahak—concocted “an accurate and detailed plan….for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states.”
Full Stop.
This is where readers need to pause for a moment and honestly consider whether this accurately explains the endless fighting and turmoil we’ve seen in the Middle East for the last two decades?
The answer is: It does. Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Syria etc. These are not just countries; they are agenda items on a Zionist checklist for regional domination. So, stop thinking that the wars have something to do with Assad or oil or pipelines or Hamas or even Israeli security. Because they don’t. These are wars aimed at establishing Israeli hegemony across the Middle East. Let’s look at the document itself which is titled A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties by Oded Yinon:
The Moslem Arab World is built like a temporary house of cards put together by foreigners without the wishes and desires of the inhabitants having been taken into account. …every Arab Moslem state nowadays faces ethnic social destruction from within, and in some a civil war is already raging. All of the Arab states east of Israel are torn apart, broken up and riddled with conflict… This national ethnic minority picture extending from Morocco to India and from Somalia to Turkey points to the absence of stability and a rapid degeneration in the entire region. When this picture is added to the economic one, we see how the entire region is built like a house of cards, unable to withstand its severe problems…..A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties, Oded Yinon, voltairenet
So, in the opening paragraphs, the author identifies the vulnerabilities within the current societies that can be exploited for Israel’s strategic advantage. The focus, of course, is on “ethnic minorities” that can be incited to exacerbate existing divisions within the society in order to weaken the larger body politic leading to regime change. Here’s the kicker:
The Western front… is in fact less complicated than the Eastern front. Lebanon’s total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precendent for the entire Arab World….. The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run, while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short term target. Syria will fall apart in accordance with its ethnic and reliegious strtucture, into several states such as in present day Lebanon, so that there will be a Shi’ite Alawi state along its coast, a Sunni state in Damascus hostile to its northern neighbor, and the Druzes who will set up a state, maybe even in our Golan, and certainly in the Hauran and in northenr Jordan. This state of affairs will be the guarantee for peace and security in the area in the long run, and that aim is already within our reach today…. A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties, Oded Yinon, voltairenet
Repeat: “This state of affairs will be the guarantee for peace and security in the area in the long run.” In other words, inciting ethnic and religious violence against other groups within the society, is the operational strategy for achieving regional dominance. In order to establish Israeli security, Arabs must be encouraged to kill each other.
Are we clear about that?
Regarding the Palestinians, there’s this little nugget:
Genuine coexistence and peace will reign over the land only when the Arabs understand that without Jewish rule between the Jordan and the sea, they will have neither existence nor security. A nation of their own and security will be theirs only in Jordan. A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties,
Keep in mind, this was written in 1982 which means—that among the politicos in Netanyahu’s party—there was never any intention of exchanging land for peace or fulfilling their obligations under US Resolution 242 to evacuate the occupied territories. It was always a ruse aimed at confusing credulous nitwits in the US.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs has confirmed much of what we’ve stated here. He has recently been quite outspoken in a number of interviews on YouTube where he has laid blame for all the recent wars in the Middle East on Benjamin Netanyahu. Here’s Sach’s in a recent piece at Consortium News:
The fall of Syria this week is the culmination of the Israel-U.S. campaign against Syria that goes back to 1996 with Netanyahu’s arrival in office as prime minister. The Israel-U.S. war on Syria escalated in 2011 and 2012, when former U.S. President Barack Obama covertly tasked the C.I.A. with the overthrow of the Syrian Government in Operation Timber Sycamore. ….
Syria’s fall came swiftly because of more than a decade of crushing economic sanctions, the burdens of war, the U.S. seizure of Syria’s oil….. and most immediately, Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah… Netanyahu’s ambition to transform the region through war, which dates back almost three decades, is playing out in front of our eyes…
The long history of Israel’s campaign to overthrow the Syrian government is not widely understood, yet the documentary record is clear….
Israel’s war on Syria began with U.S. and Israeli neoconservatives in 1996, who fashioned a “Clean Break” strategy for the Middle East for Netanyahu as he came to office…..The core of the “clean break” strategy called for the Israel (and the U.S.) to reject “land for peace,” the idea that Israel would withdraw from the occupied Palestinian lands in return for peace….
...Netanyahu’s strategy was integrated into U.S. foreign policy. Taking out Syria was always a key part of the plan. This was confirmed by General Wesley Clark after 9/11. (The role of the Israel Lobby is spelled out in Ilan Pappé’s new book, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic)….
The U.S. has by now led or sponsored wars against Iraq (invasion in 2003), Lebanon (U.S. funding and arming Israel), Libya (NATO bombing in 2011), Syria (C.I.A. operation during 2010s), Sudan (supporting rebels to break Sudan apart in 2011), and Somalia (backing Ethiopia’s invasion in 2006).
A prospective U.S. war with Iran, ardently sought by Israel, is still pending….. The U.S. and Israel are high-fiving that they have successfully wrecked yet another adversary of Israel and defender of the Palestinian cause, with Netanyahu claiming “credit for starting the historic process.”...
American interference, at the behest of Netanyahu’s Israel, has left the Middle East in ruins, with over a million dead and open wars raging in Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, and with Iran on the brink of a nuclear arsenal, being pushed against its own inclinations to this eventuality. US & Israel Destroyed Syria & Called it Peace, Jeffrey Sachs, Consortium News
These are Israel’s wars, and they are prosecuted to pursue Israeli interests not American interests. The US military (and political class) has been hijacked by the maneuverings of strongarm lobbyists who know how to work the levers of power to achieve their own ends. Their rate of success speaks for itself. Much of the Middle East lies in ruins which was the plan from the get-go.
But now comes the hard part, because nothing has really been resolved in Syria. Yes, Assad is gone and, yes, the Syrian state has disintegrated. But how long will it take before Turkey is fighting the US-backed Kurds in the East, or before Israeli and Turkish interests clash in central or southern Syria or before HTS proves to be the unreliable terrorist organization it is known to be and refuses to follow its marching orders from Washington and Tel Aviv? So, yes, the invaders may be congratulating themselves this week “for a job well done”, but the Syrian conflagration is not over yet, not by a long-shot.
There was an important development that took place last week that provides a window into future goings-on in the battered country, although the statement was downplayed by most of the media. On Wednesday, officials of Hayat Tahrir-al Sham (HTS) announced that Mohammed al-Bashir had been appointed as Syria’s interim prime minister. Al-Bashir, who has been running the Idlib province, has been chosen to lead a small cabinet whose job will be to make sure the government agencies, banks and public services continue operate without interruption. More importantly, al-Bashir, who speaks English, is the likely the designated technocrat chosen by Washington to jumpstart the sale of the country’s state-owned assets and businesses, its natural resources, and anything else of value. Judging from past experience, he will probably oversee a sharp reduction in government spending, as well as dramatic cutbacks in education, public safety and health care. He will also seek hefty loans from the IMF for reconstruction that will be diverted to foreign accounts for his family and cronies leaving ordinary Syrians with an ocean of red ink they can never hope to repay. Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, Bashir’s debut did not go as well as expected. Here’s the story from NBC News:
When Syria’s new interim prime minister, Mohammad al-Bashir, chaired a Cabinet meeting in Damascus on Tuesday, hanging behind him was the flag of the country’s suddenly victorious opposition. Next to it, however, was a second banner popular with the region’s Sunni Islamist fighters, featuring the large Arabic letters of the Shahada, an Islamic declaration of faith.
As a new Syria fast emerges from the ruins of the Assad regime, the world is watching for hints of what that might look like — and that second flag has concerned those hoping for a future of moderation and tolerance….
HTS is banned as a terrorist organization in the United States and elsewhere and grew out of a branch of Al Qaeda. Its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, said a decade ago that there would be no room for religious minorities in the Islamist Syria of which he dreamed about. He also suggested that he could bring terrorism to the West unless it withdrew from the Middle East’s wars.
More recently, however, Jolani, who now uses his real name, Ahmad al-Sharaa, has undergone something of a rebrand, trimming his beard, donning Westernized green fatigues and espousing tolerance for all of Syria’s myriad faiths. Nevertheless plenty of observers are reserving judgment until these words become actions….
Seeing Syria’s corridors of power welcome a flag “indicating Islamist-Salafist leanings” has “put people on alert,” Sukkar said. Although he does not think deploying the emblem was a “wise” move, he sees it as more reflective of the rebels’ origins in Idlib rather than anything else….
The classic worry among Western foreign policy watchers was that Assad might be toppled but replaced by something that is not much better: an extremist terror group….
Displaying the flag in an image meant to represent Syria’s new transition government shows how HTS and Jolani are still “deeply entrenched in their Salafist-Sunni ideology and worldview”….
With the group now making more moderate noises, and also in a position of considerable influence, the United States is exploring removing HTS’ terrorist designation, two current administration officials and a former senior U.S. official told NBC News. Although Washington will watch closely the militant group’s moves from its new political vantage point. Why a photo of Syria’s interim leader could hint at trouble ahead, NBC News
Let’s see if I got this right: The Biden administration replaces Assad with a terrorist organization but is suddenly surprised when it discovers the group is led by terrorists. Is that it?
Indeed, it is. As you can see, none of this resolves the basic crisis created by the removal of Assad. Instead, the main proponents of regime change—Turkey, the US and Israel—have merely transformed Syria into an even bigger battleground where their own competing interests will soon play out by way of mortal combat.
How long will it be before Turkey locks horns with Israel or the United States? How long before sectarian war engulfs the country?
Not long, I’d wager. And for the people who thought that toppling the “evil dictator” would bring peace and security. They’d better think again.

He will also seek hefty loans from the IMF for reconstruction that will be diverted to foreign accounts for his family and cronies leaving ordinary Syrians with an ocean of red ink they can never hope to repay. Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, Bashir’s debut did not go as well as expected. Here’s the story from NBC News:
When Syria’s new interim prime minister, Mohammad al-Bashir, chaired a Cabinet meeting in Damascus on Tuesday, hanging behind him was the flag of the country’s suddenly victorious opposition. Next to it, however, was a second banner popular with the region’s Sunni Islamist fighters, featuring the large Arabic letters of the Shahada, an Islamic declaration of faith.
As a new Syria fast emerges from the ruins of the Assad regime, the world is watching for hints of what that might look like — and that second flag has concerned those hoping for a future of moderation and tolerance….
HTS is banned as a terrorist organization in the United States and elsewhere and grew out of a branch of Al Qaeda. Its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, said a decade ago that there would be no room for religious minorities in the Islamist Syria of which he dreamed about. He also suggested that he could bring terrorism to the West unless it withdrew from the Middle East’s wars.
More recently, however, Jolani, who now uses his real name, Ahmad al-Sharaa, has undergone something of a rebrand, trimming his beard, donning Westernized green fatigues and espousing tolerance for all of Syria’s myriad faiths. Nevertheless plenty of observers are reserving judgment until these words become actions….
Seeing Syria’s corridors of power welcome a flag “indicating Islamist-Salafist leanings” has “put people on alert,” Sukkar said. Although he does not think deploying the emblem was a “wise” move, he sees it as more reflective of the rebels’ origins in Idlib rather than anything else….
The classic worry among Western foreign policy watchers was that Assad might be toppled but replaced by something that is not much better: an extremist terror group….
Displaying the flag in an image meant to represent Syria’s new transition government shows how HTS and Jolani are still “deeply entrenched in their Salafist-Sunni ideology and worldview”….
With the group now making more moderate noises, and also in a position of considerable influence, the United States is exploring removing HTS’ terrorist designation, two current administration officials and a former senior U.S. official told NBC News. Although Washington will watch closely the militant group’s moves from its new political vantage point. Why a photo of Syria’s interim leader could hint at trouble ahead, NBC News
Let’s see if I got this right: The Biden administration replaces Assad with a terrorist organization but is suddenly surprised when it discovers the group is led by terrorists. Is that it?
Indeed, it is. As you can see, none of this resolves the basic crisis created by the removal of Assad. Instead, the main proponents of regime change—Turkey, the US and Israel—have merely transformed Syria into an even bigger battleground where their own competing interests will soon play out by way of mortal combat.
How long will it be before Turkey locks horns with Israel or the United States? How long before sectarian war engulfs the country?
Not long, I’d wager. And for the people who thought that toppling the “evil dictator” would bring peace and security. They’d better think again.
