Do globalists have a backdoor to the Trump administration?
President-elect Donald Trump finished assembling his cabinet last week. While many appointments were welcomed by MAGA supporters, some nominations raised concerns of deep state globalists having backdoor access to the Trump administration.
Scott Bessent: Treasury secretary
Scott Bessent, for example, who Trump tapped as Treasury secretary, has worried Republicans with his strong ties to subversive billionaire George Soros. Bessent was a protégé of Soros and a key executive in his companies. In 1992, Bessent was instrumental in helping Soros “break the Bank of England,” one of the most daring trades in history. Though he eventually sought other employment opportunities after that, he returned to serve as chief investment officer at Soros Fund Management from 2011 to 2015. A year later, he launched a hedge fund called Key State Capital with $2 billion from Soros.
Bessent is also a longtime Democratic Party donor. He has made contributions to John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. According to the New York Times, however, he has donated to Republicans in the last few years, including $1 million to Trump’s inauguration in 2016. That was the same year he received the $2 billion from Soros to start his new venture.
Bessent has never been in Trump’s political circles, though he was reportedly friends with Trump’s late brother, Robert. This would thus be Bessent’s first time on Trump’s team. Nevertheless, the Times says Bessent has received support from key Trump advisors Stephen Bannon and Larry Kudlow.
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat: Surgeon general
Trump’s pick for surgeon general, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, has also raised eyebrows for her stances during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nesheiwat urged the public to wear masks and take the mRNA vaccine, which she called “a gift from God” that is “nothing short of miraculous.” She also recommended masking children in schools and injecting them with the experimental shots.
Most concerningly, however, Nesheiwat advocated for censoring those who questioned the vaccines and thanked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for suppressing them.
“First of all, vaccines save lives,” she told a Fox News panel. “And I am so excited, and I thank and I commend Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for taking action because this [vaccine misinformation] affects everyone. This affects our children, it affects adults . . . it’s about time that they are taking action and I hope and pray that other social media platforms will follow suit and do the same thing.”
Eventually, Nesheiwat appeared to reverse her approach, though she did not apologize for her previous activism.
Julia Nesheiwat: A key globalist insider
Nesheiwat’s sister, Julia Nesheiwat, is married to Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), who Trump has tapped as national security advisor. In 2020, Julia served as homeland security advisor, after being appointed a year before as Florida’s first chief resilience officer.
Julia Nesheiwat has also been a member of globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum, where she sat on its Global Advisory Council, and is still a distinguished fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center. The Atlantic Council is a “think tank” whose board contains several former CIA directors and other high-level intelligence officials. According to congressional testimony from investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) is “one of the most established and influential full-time censorship institutions in the world.”
The Atlantic Council has been serving as a coordinating hub between tech giants and the State Department to censor undesirable political views in the US and Europe. In 2018 Facebook announced an “election partnership” with the Atlantic Council and authorized it to declare which accounts and posts were “election misinformation.”
Julia also served as an international fellow on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a globalist organization that arguably wields more power than the World Economic Forum or the Atlantic Council. The late Admiral Chester Ward, a former judge advocate general of the US Navy and CFR member for 16 years, said the council’s goal is the “submergence of U.S. sovereignty into an all-powerful one-world government.”
“In the entire CFR lexicon, there is no term of revulsion carrying a meaning so deep as ‘America First’,” Ward added.
