From a while back, Frank Zappa claimed that "Politicians, were the entertainment division of the Military Industrial Complex". Which many say the Military industrial complex is the main focus of government, The USA war machine as it were. Note that the military budget is seldom, if ever, cut. They might make smaller than proposed increases, but I have hardly heard of it being cut substantial.
Fast forward 40 years from Frank Zappa's quote, and the NEW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION seems to be selecting the most unqualified personnel to lead the white house cabinet positions. Many having no experience in government at all. And many clearly having no qualifications in the areas that the departments they will lead, would require.
In this New York Times article, a former soldier, and Fox News Host is set to be the Secretary of Defense.??!! [see below] He might have served in the military. But it doesn't seem he was a leader or officer in the military. That's probably going to be a big failure as an appointment. Many of the others seemed just as absurd
So it begs the question, to us. Is this team being installed for the Entertainment Value. As their real value is in real question. If they are, who is planning on actually running these departments. The supposed DEEP STATE of people trump claims run the government.
This DEEP STATE of government people, usually sounds a lot like the somewhat subversive folks Trump uses in Government. Like Steve Banon and others. Note all thru the 2024 campaign, this GOP agenda called Project 2025,. was denied by Trump, He claimed he didn't know much about it. Even though his running mate Vance was associated with most of the authors. And now Trump claims, oh yea, that was the GOP agenda after all. That seems like a DEEP STATE and certainly a Hidden Agenda
So is this group of people to tun things, Assuming they are not the cabinet heads now being appointed by Trump, Are they all right ring christian groups? that will lead. Such folks may want to bring on Armageddon Now as a righteous idea in and of itself, So will it be ARMAGEDDON NOW!!! instead of the old movie APOCALYPSE NOW!! [an older movie that is famous] but with real thermonuclear warheads. In that old movie, things got very dark and ugly by the way.
That probably a bit too much speculation at this moment.
Clearly the department picks seemed to be focused on REALITY TV type entertainment value picks. Rather than real qualified personnel
In Our Opinion
look for news about Trumps cabinet picks in a new source you trust and can rely on. Here's the headline from the New York Times.
Agreed. Zappa I do feel fell short of making the distinction between Politicians and Public Servants however.
I think he might have had some more evolved thoughts about that sort of thing now. RIP.
