Donald Trumps “Presidential” Foreign Policy Speech to (written by?) Globalist Think Tank Run by Dov Zakheim, Henry Kissinger and John D. Negroponte

by Scott Creighton

Last week some Trump campaign staffers were recorded telling influential GOP leaders that everything he had been doing up until that point was a “show” and that he was about to become more “presidential”

They got that right.

Donald Trump delivered his “America First” foreign policy speech yesterday in front of a select group of friendly reporters, neocons, Council on Foreign Relations members and think-tank war-mongers at a conference held by the Center for the National Interest (CNI).

Dov Zakheim is currently the Vice Chairman of CNI and Henry Kissinger is their Honorary Chairman. John D. Negroponte is on their advisory council. Negroponte is a well known terrorist who’s solution to pretty much any foreign policy issue is to put together death squads and have them run around killing and torturing dissidents. For that matter, so are Zakheim and Kissinger.

Trump was introduced by PNAC member Zalmay Khalilzad who is also on the board of CNI. As some of you may recall:

“(Khalilzad) worked closely with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Carter Administration’s architect of the policy supporting the mujahideen (al Qaeda) resistance to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan… Khalilzad served in President Ronald Reagan‘s Administration as a senior State Department official advising on the Soviet war in Afghanistan … he developed and guided the international program to promote the merits of a Mujahideen-led (al Qaeda-led) Afghanistan … Between 1993 and 2000, Khalilzad was the Director of the Strategy, Doctrine, and Force Structure at the RAND Corporation… While at RAND, Khalilzad also had a brief stint consulting for Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which at the time was conducting a risk analysis for Unocal, now part of Chevron, for a proposed 1,400 km (890 mile), $2-billion, 622 m³/s (22,000 ft³/s) Trans-Afghanistan gas pipeline project which would have extended from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan and further proceeding to Pakistan…Khalilzad was involved in the early stages of planning to overthrow the Taliban and on December 31, 2001 was selected as Bush’s Special Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan.

Once again, the story of the Trans Pacific Pipeline and 9/11 is rearing it’s ugly head and it this case it’s because the “outsider” candidate Donald Trump needed to be introduced by one of it’s key architects in order to make him seem more “presidential”

The speech was one of the only ones Trump delivered by reading it off teleprompters. When you combine that fact with the setting it becomes clear who wrote Trump’s “America First” speech: the neocons associated with Zakheim, Kissinger and Negroponte wrote it.

That much should seem obvious even before you read it. After you read it Trump’s fascist pandering to endless war, Israel-firsters, expanded militarism/ military spending and a New Cold War against Russia and China, makes it crystal clear who his new advisors are and what they are seeking.

The speech itself is unremarkable, filled with exactly the kind of globalist, militarist propaganda you would expect from a neocon think-tank. As expected, there’s plenty of damnation of Iran, promotion of the “ISIS™” Crisis, praise for glorious Israel and enough historical revisionism to make William Kristol blush with envy.

Curiously, if you Google Donald Trump right now what you find under “news” are endless stories about Bruce Jenner using one of his bathrooms in New York because unlike Cruz, Trump doesn’t seem to mind transgender people using whatever one they want.

There also seem to be a lot of stories about Ted Cruz announcing his Vice Presidential candidate for his losing ticket.

Seems like everyone is covering for Mr. Trump’s neocon-inspired “Ode to the New Way, the Old Way” foreign policy speech.

Last week the RNC’s spring meeting in Hollywood, Florida, was held. That’s where the committee’s 168 members get together to figure out what’s happening with their party. Turns out they figured The Donald was going to be the nominee after all and it was that meeting which prompted him giving his neocon-written speech yesterday showing he was more “presidential” than they previously thought.
