Did you catch the two hearings wherein Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and Acting Director Ronald Rowe did not answer questions from those whom Americans have elected to represent them in the DC Swamp?
One needs only to watch House & Senate Republicans (and sometimes Democrats) questioning Biden’s various cabinet members, political appointees, nominees, etc. to realize what American Mandarins are: With their noses in the air, with their confident arrogance on display, they are broadcasting to ELECTED House & Senate members that they, DC Swamp creatures, have all the power. They commit obvious perjury, over & over again, but know they will not be punished. The smug looks on their faces matched those who testified at Trump’s first impeachment hoax.* It is obvious that these DC Swamp creatures don’t view themselves as “public servants.” Congressmen come, and congressmen go, senators come, and senators go, but DC’s Mandarins remain, some for DECADES.
MANDARINS IN CHARGE
Joe Biden is Exhibit No. 1 that it is the creatures in the Deep State, the DC Swamp, the Administrative State, whatever term one chooses to use, who are actually in charge and making presidential decisions. The person currently living in the White House has not been in charge for at least two years because he does not possess the cognitive abilities to understand complex issues and make rational decisions. Perhaps he never was in charge. He was not constitutionally elected by We The People so he owes the Hard Left big time for choosing him and rigging the election to get him installed.
Knowing he was in the second stage of dementia in 2019, American Mandarins chose Joe Biden and installed him to act as their front man while they made the decisions that have pushed America to near collapse. He has late stage dementia now and is being propped up by his handlers for public viewing only when necessary. The rest of the time he is hidden from view to decrease the chances he will do or say something that displays his puppet status.
WHAT ARE MANDARINS?
Prior to the 1911 revolution, the Chinese Empire was run by bureaucrats much like our Deep State. In theory, these “public servants” were appointed by the Emperor or Empress. In reality, over time, positions within the Mandarin hierarchy developed into a power structure. Entry into the Mandarin Class was granted by higher ranked Mandarins, in return for favors. The emperor had little control over Mandarins.
Mandarins enjoyed very high status in Chinese society. They were able to read & write at a time when most of the masses were uneducated. They controlled the country for their own benefit, in complete disregard for the needs & wants of the masses. No one was allowed to question their work, nor their loyalty to the Emperor.
American Mandarins (AKA Deep State) pretend to be serving We The People. In reality, most federal bureaucrats are serving themselves and/or their selfish political goals far more than they are serving Americans. Most of their activities are hidden from view, and they cover for each other’s ill deeds and incompetency, even to the point of committing perjury.
Unlike the Chinese Mandarins who wore buttons on their caps** so the masses would recognize them & grovel at their feet, most American Mandarins work in anonymity or near anonymity. Americans know their names only if they reach the heights of Mandarin power (for example, Susan Rice, who was making many of the decisions in the White House until her departure in May 2023) and/or their corruption comes to light (for example, FBI Director James Comey). Before the Era of Trump, the average American understood little about the inner workings of Mandarins in the DC Swamp.
New American presidents typically get to replace more than 4,000 “political” appointees to oversee the running of their administrations. Below this rotating layer of political appointees sits a mass of government workers who enjoy strong employment protections and typically continue their service from one administration to the next regardless of the president’s party affiliation. Too many of them are more interested in maintaining their relatively luxurious lifestyles and/or promoting a Leftist ideology than they are performing their duties. Indeed, they do not identify as “public servants,” but rather see themselves as superior to most of their fellow Americans. Therefore, too many of them spent Trump’s entire term trying to sabotage his Americans-First agenda.
WHY DO AMERICAN MANDARINS HATE TRUMP?
My readers already have a good idea why American Mandarins’ venomous fangs came out on November 8, 2016 and have not yet been retracted. But, allow me to add my take:
American Mandarins have been grifting off the American people for decades, as taxes got ever higher, and the average American got ever poorer. That’s why nine out of the ten wealthiest counties are in the Washington DC Metro Area. They expected their grift and their power to strengthen & expand under Hillary Clinton’s presidency. But, along came Donald J. Trump, an outsider who wasn’t a member of the Mandarin Class, who knew Americans were being cheated. Actually, it wasn’t Trump who exposed them. Many American Mandarins exposed themselves in their irrational zeal to get rid of the first America-First & Americans-First president since Reagan. NOTE: American Mandarins hated President Reagan, too.
Americans think we are electing presidents, senators & congresspeople to run the government, but American Mandarins control 99% of what happens in the DC Swamp. Trump has vowed that he will decrease the Mandarins’ power during his second term.
Presidents come, and presidents go. Senators come, and senators go. Congressmen come, and congressmen go. But American Mandarins stay forever. Just one example of the lengths American Mandarins go to maintain their power:
CENSUS BUREAU COMMITS FRAUD TO HELP DEMOCRATS FOR A DECADE
*During the House impeachment hearings in late 2019 Americans discovered that American Mandarins had been surveilling our ELECTED president, Donald J. Trump, throughout his tenure, gathering information they hoped to use against him. Watching & listening to the testimony of these long time “public servants” should have disgusted and worried every American.
The Hate-America cult in DC was able to sneak many Marxist spies into Trump’s White House & the Trump Administration. One example was Fiona Hill, who was hired as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European & Russian Affairs on Trump’s National Security Council. FIONA HAD WORKED FOR GEORGE SOROS FOR SIX YEARS! During her testimony, hatred for America and for Trump dripped from her fangs.
Another example of an American Mandarin planted in the White House to spy on President Trump was Lt. Col Alexander Vindman. He was Director of European Affairs for the US National Security Council (NSC) from July 2018 to February 2020. His arrogance came through loud at the impeachment hearings when he corrected a Republican congressperson: “My title is not ‘Mister!’ I have worked very hard for the title of ‘Lt. Colonel’ and you will address me by my proper title.”
Obama appointed Marie Yovanovitch as US Ambassador to Ukraine in 2016. Trump fired her in 2019 because she was part of corruption wherein American tax dollars flowed into Ukraine and were siphoned off by both Ukraine’s ruling elite and by some within America’s ruling elite, including Joe & Hunter Biden. During the impeachment hearing superiority flowed from her very being when she was questioned by GOP congressmen.
**The nine ranks of Mandarins were clear to all by the type of button each wore on his cap.
