VT: The list of those fired is suddenly “classified.” Our sources say it might well be an “enemies list” that any real American should take note of. The DHS, since its inception, has been a cesspool of foreign interests and runaway abuses of power.
Yahoo News: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas fired most of the members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council on Friday, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.
Rep. KATKO (R-NY) slammed the firing of the entire DHS Advisory Council, including Ken Cuccinelli. Good Job, DHS Chief!#FreshVoicesRise

The Homeland Security Advisory Council is made up of 30 members — both Democrats and Republicans. Some of those who were fired included allies of former President Donald Trump, such as former acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli and former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan.
And this note from Twitter…another ‘NS Sherlock…’

“I am considering how the HSAC can bring the greatest value to the Department and how the expertise, judgment, and counsel of its Members can be harnessed most effectively to advance the Department’s mission. I expect to work closely with the HSAC and to rely on its Members to help guide the Department through a period of change,” Mayorkas wrote.
The HSAC produces reports and advises the secretary on a range of issues from domestic violent extremism to biometrics.
“In the service of an orderly transition to a new model for the HSAC, I have ended the term of current HSAC members effective March 26, 2021,” he wrote. “I will reconstitute the HSAC in the next few weeks, once the new model has been developed. Chairman William Bratton and Vice Chair Karen Tandy will remain in their HSAC leadership positions. William Webster will remain the HSAC’s Chair Emeritus. I was privileged to work with Judge Webster throughout my prior service in the Department.”
Bratton, Tandy and Webster are the only three members still listed on the HSAC website. Bratton, the former NYPD commissioner, serves as commissioner.

I’ve always been aware of neocon sayanims in the so called US “liberal media” (lol .. liberal) and I’m amazed that trash like Dana Bash first thing on Sunday TV, who’s to the right of that terrorist Wolf Blitzer in foreign policy script reading can corner someone like Anthony Blinken with stupid questions and people consider that “journalism.”
At least Fox has a label of stupid on it.
They keep the masses stupid with their scripts “nurtured” by neocons in the media.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

She pressed Blinken a few times cutting him off with the question “yes I get all of that but do you think Mohammed bin Salman is a killer ?”
Blinken nicely circled the issue.
I’d like to see this zio trash Dana Bash born Dana Ruth Schwartz coming in after the Blinken interview and express her opinion that she thinks the bin Salman is a killer and then see how long she can last after that.
Hi Tommy and Gordon
I don’t get it “shmears” Biden is “Jew lover” by AIPAC ??
Doesn’t make sense to my warped brain.
Lewinski smears?
Biden part of and complicit with 911 coverups and operators, it seems areasonable assumption! he was all for Iraq war, (both of them)
All for Afghanistan invasion to get revenge and kill Bin Laden who “did” 911 and his evil henchmen hiding in caves,
Was VP during Libyan invasion using 250,000 headchopper AlQueda mercenaries to kill a million innocent Libyans,
Has always supported the moderate-rebel terrorist headchopper mercenaries in Syria too.
Seems like he has always been beholden to those who did 911 which is you know who.
Maybe he will change his spots after watching Trump destroy everything there is to destroy at the behest of you know who. (And it’s not Putin)
I could be wrong, but I think we have to throw out everything we knew about Joe Biden, especially before 2015 and the death of his son, Beau. People do change, and I think for him ambition has been replaced with conviction.
Well DHS did catch the underwear and the shoe bombers. I say Trillions well spent! I feel safer, eh.
Sometimes, VT writes stories about what it can only dream about!
Sometimes VT holds back and makes us the dreamers. I think VT mostly holds back.
Sadly, Biden is beholden to AIPAC and the US neocons, the same folks who gave us 9/11 and got away with it. Trump, of course, was beholden to Likud and the Kosher Nostra so he didn’t even bother to do the little dance that Biden has to. It was all cheek-to-cheek dirty dancing with Netanyahu for him. ReTrumplicans always seem to forget that.
Tommy…suggest you are wrong on this one. Odd..perhaps odd…one way AIPAC attacks Biden, as it did with Obama, is by spreading ‘schmears’ that he is a “Jew lover.”
Curiouser
Ditto Gordon.
We’ll see how this all turns out, Gordon. Yes, Biden initially was for reinstating the JCPOA, but even after appointing Robert Malley, who helped negotiate the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, to serve as his envoy on Iran, not much has happened. AIPAC may indeed have gotten to him… We’ll see.
