The Once Honorable Leslie H. Gelb,  President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations [CFR]; Senior Correspondent for the N Y Times; and a Ubiquitous Board Member: Appears on Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails, Kowtowing to Her!
On this July 4th weekend when we celebrate the deeds of those who fought for the independence of this great nation, I want to honor a man whom I had admired and was a very special person in my life—Dr. Leslie Gelb.

When I first met him decades ago, he was a senior official in the Carter Administration which was filled with all types of forthright men and women who were willing to stand up for their personal and professional beliefs—including President Jimmy Carter. From that period in my life, one person stood out in my mind-- Leslie Gelb. During this time, he had refused to acquiesce to Zbig Brezenski and resigned. I found that act very impressive. Soon Cyrus Vance and I were to resign afterwards over the issue of the Iran Hostages.
I found that Les was an honorable man who stated his convictions; stood by them; and then acted accordingly. His subsequent career became an admirable trajectory, where Les became a senior correspondent for the NY Times [even a senior editor];  and eventually attained the then much-vaunted position of President of the Council On Foreign Relations. At the CFR, where I attended few meetings, I had the rare pleasure of talking to him and renewing old acquaintances.
Subsequently,  I resigned from the CFR, after having realized how toxic they had become from an inherent inertia of creativity; alongside the perseveration of old thoughts and self-aggrandizing mantras.
Then, I happened to read a letter by Leslie H . Gelb where he apologized to whomever for having used his august position at the CFR and in Washington society to take a cowardly stance on the Iraq War. He urged our brave American Warriors to enter distant conflicts which Les knew from his past experiences[as a senior official at DOD having  overseen the production of the Pentagon Papers] that our warriors would die needlessly; as would, thousands of innocent civilians.
This is the letter Les wrote for future posterity:
“My initial support of the Iraq War was symptomatic of unfortunate tendencies within the foreign policy community, namely the disposition and incentives to support wars to retain professional and political credibility.”  No truer words were spoken from a man who eventually succumbed to such unfortunate tendencies.
Now we can’t really say that he owned up to his own miscreant behavior. Yet we can say that he became a man who pandered to the whims and ways of an amorphous  community of neocons and idiots who had never fought in a war [neither did Les]. However, I would have given Les a pass and written off his cowardly behavior as an insecure Jew who needed the approval of the WASP and military community in order to be heard and accepted.
A king of inferiority complex.
No problem there!
Yet flash forward to current headlines, what do I find in today’s Wall Street Journal article regarding the missing Hillary Clinton emails?
Let me quote directly from the email:
“A loyal supporter and Democratic activist, Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote Mrs. Clinton that she has spent the day on Nantucket with Leslie Gelb, a former State Department and Pentagon hand who wanted to write a Parade Magazine piece about the Secretary, detailing her daily life and the impact she is having on national affairs..

“He said he would give you a veto over content and looked me in the eye and said, “SHE WILL LIKE IT.” Ms De Rothschild wrote. The resulting [Gelb] piece was INDEED QUITE POSITIVE.
Mr Gelb wrote that diners in the State Department cafeteria burst into applause upon seeing her and concluded that she is “absolutely determined to make her tenure as Secretary of State a success and to accomplish important things.”
As usual, Les was wrong in this puff piece on Hillary.
As most of you know by now, Libya, Benghazi and the 100 plus nations she had visited amounted to a complete disaster as Sec State. However, my concern is not with HC. She is at least a well-known entity to Americans.
The reason I wrote this blog is to show you how it is the ‘good, decent men’ of our nation who hide in the shadows of the Pentagon and State Department; as well as the countless Think Tanks camouflaging as ‘neutral analysts’ –who send us into the wars in Korea; Vietnam; Iraq; Afghanistan; et. al. Leslie Gelb is an Honorable Man who has shown himself to be a “panderer to the rich and famous”; and a sycophant of those he serves.
I might remind you, all, that Les won the ‘Famous Father Of The Year’ in 1999. How ashamed I would have been of my father had he hid behind the skirts of women and men in order solicit favors from them in return for a flattering portrait in the shlock propaganda magazine—Parade.
What we have here is simply frailty of mankind. Neither malicious nor nefarious; just too frightened to assert his true beliefs lest he lose his job and reputation as ‘one of the boys’. How often have I heard those rationalizations in the Nazi prisoners whom I had seen as a child in the French Displaced Persons Camp—‘I was just doing my duty!”
It did not stop there! The Soviet Communist System also offered me a panoply of excuses and reasons for the retention of that corrupted system.
However, the 9/11 Stand Down and the consequent outcry of silence by those in the know—the Foreign Affairs Community – was simply deafening.
Now, Les is offered by me as the Personae of the Year 2015, as an American in his twilight years who becomes most cowardly and disgustingly ingratiating to the rich and famous. I give Leslie Gelb as the model of what has happened to our Honorable Men ----they have descended into perfidious insolence and dastardly deeds for which they still refuse to assume personal responsibility and attribute them to outside forces beyond their control.
Let me end with a quote from a famous French novelist, Honore de Balzac:
“Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by PYGMIES!!”

  1. People must understand that even in Yugoslav Workers self-management socialism, caste was above class (workers).

    Caste are all those who live of the work of others, meaning: clergy, bureaucrats, army personnel, police force, politicians. Here they were having better houses, higher salaries, they were allowed to import western cars, while they were sucking working people and making damage to economy. So those who were producing value were again oppressed. Today not even capitalist in USA (capitalists are class not caste) are not able to go against bureaucracy and caste... It is spreading like cancer.

    Imagine that no one in any communist country would never talk about differences between caste and class, even that is basic of Marxism.

    Lies and propaganda as always.

    1. Every communist University had Marxism as subject on first year, but differences between class and caste was never mentioned even Marx talks about that all the time. Talking about conspiracy.

  4. As stated earlier:

    As EVERYONE should know, the T.P.A. (giving illegitimate (C.I.A. ASSET with a C.I.A. GIVEN NAME) Obama "fast-track authority") has passed both THE HOUSE and THE SENATE! If the Trans-Pacific Partnership ("T.P.P.") has been "RATIFIED" by the UNITED STATES SENATE, the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION is NO MORE; and this is pursuant to ARTICLE VI, Clause 2, of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION! This is the CONTEXT of said ARTICLE VI, Clause 2: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." As stated, any and all binding international Treaties tied to the UNITED STATES become "THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND"! Therefore, THE T.P.P. overrides ARTICLES 1 and 3, along with the "entire" BILL OF RIGHTS; and as to ARTICLE 2, illegitimate Obama becomes the Führer!!!!

    In the interim, there is JADE HELM 15! What is JADE HELM 15??? It is a "massive military exercise" being conducted in several STATES, including but NOT limited to, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Ohio; and JADE HELM 15 is actually preparation for imminent "MARTIAL LAW"! If the said T.P.P. has been "RATIFIED" by the UNITED STATES SENATE, JADE HELM 15 will become active "MARTIAL LAW" (July 15, 2015 to October 2015???)! SEE THESE YOU TUBE VIDEOS: "Caravan To Midnight - Episode 289 Jade Helm: Something wicked this way comes" [John B. Wells interviewed Pastor, writer, and media analyst Nathan Leal!] posted by John B. Wells (AUHENTIC) on May 14, 2015; and "Caravan To Midnight - Episode 309 Jade Helm Decoded' [John B Wells interviewed a TOP learned network/software engineer, with highly sensitive and classified documents concerning the "JADE 2" EXTREMELY COMPLEX ("A.I.") COMPUTER PROGRAM designed at M.I.T.!] posted by John B. Wells (AUTHENTIC) on June 19, 2015!

  5. Read somewhere, "Darth Vader," is maybe Dutch for "dark father." It almost seems like Darth Vader is a mythology of how empires age, decay, and turn on their own people. As Plato may have said, "Dictatorship naturally rises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of slavery and tyranny out of the most extreme form of liberty."

    Think mostly its important to know how to think, not what to think, among many versions of history. Not even our own governments, or others, can be trusted on such matters. I think it does one well to think outside the box, on one's toes, and avoid the havoc of civilizations, like a contagious disease. Similarly it is best to avoid being plagued by one's ego, staying young, and remaining reflexive as a personality that can transcend the limits of time.

    "strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught falsehoods in school, and the person that dares to tell the truth is called at once both a lunatic and a fool." - Plato.
    Reminds me very much of Plato's cave, and Socrates drinking hemlock. When you speak of honour and Mr. Gelb, this came to mind...

    Honour is very much like death. It is planted in fields, and lied about pretty much everywhere else. Yet it knows no boundaries, no borders, and suffers from a lack of self.

    Is it any wonder that those with real talent do not aspire to climb among the ranks of men or take leadership roles? It is no mystery that honourable men would rather be plowed into the soil than stand and be counted among bureaucracies.

    To be counted as a victim and hazard before even aspiring reflexively among men, via some neurological testing procedure, is perhaps the first test government agencies should embrace if it might wish for its institutions to survive. Either that, or a few good fires, wherein everything burns to the ground and grows back again.

    But what do I know? Not much.

  6. The NEW WORLD ORDER "ELITE" are CITY OF LONDON, England (BRITISH EMPIRE) that reports to the JESUIT ORDER (A.K.A.: The Society of Jesus); and the CITY OF LONDON, England (BRITISH EMPIRE) are primarily controlled by THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY and THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY! I find it very interesting both THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY and THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMLIY are from Germany; and originally, THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY are from Iran (Persians during about 800 A.D. (Biblical Prophecies))!

    As stated in other comments, it all began during about 1774; and this was when Pope Clement XIV was assassinated by THE JESUIT ORDER, with a very slow and very painful poison to "MAKE A POINT"! When Pope Clement XIV was assassinated by THE JESUIT ORDER, all of the assets of THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH were given to THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY! In the interim, Johann Adam Weishaupt ((6 February 1748 – 18 November 1830) was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of the Illuminati (a secret society)) was given instructions by THE JESUIT ORDER to infiltrate all FREE MASON LODGES in Europe; and Johann Adam Weishaupt was an "AGENT" for THE JESUIT ORDER!

    As stated, THE NEW WORLD ORDER "ELITE" want to "EXTERMINATE" about 7 BILLION PEOPLE WORLD WIDE (SEE THIS YOU TUBE VIDEO: "population reduction after economic collapse" produced by George Green (FORMER INSIDER, who sat-in at the NEW WORLD ORDER MEETINGS))!

GIVEN NAME) Obama is going to be The Führer!!!! This will all occur when the Trans-Pacific Partnership becomes a "legal and binding" Treaty to THE UNITED STATES; and as stated, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION will be NO MORE! Are WE ready for Auschwitz (a F.E.M.A. "DEATH" CAMP near you)???????????????

    2. No worry, time to go in to woods Raymond, back to partisans... We will kill them, again, do not worry. My family killed around 70 of them, for just 9 which died, on my side, (both side of family), 2 by Italians others by Germans. And I want score of 9 to at least 270... We need to organise. God will be on our side, as God was on our side first time when Peoples Liberation War between 1941-1945 was raging. It was God spraying holly water on to trees and mountains of Croatia and Slovenia. With Orson Wells...

  8. Good piece. It comes down to this, "you are with us or against us. Do you want to shlepp around in the suburbs at 50K a year or do you want to make the big money and rub elbows with the most powerful people in the world".

    Neutral analysis is dead, everything is base on direction. That leaves us with a flailing and dieing Empire of lies. Its not much more than that. Effective policy cannot be built on a domain of lies.

  9. Yes Les Gelb turned out to be just another foreign policy community bullshit artists and not the man Dr.P thought he was....

    Big surprise.

    Lemme tell you something.....

    The "foreign policy community" in America is made up of small men with small penises who follow lock step with each other. They're not manly men. They are not John Wayne or any other kind of manly heroes.

    Les Gelb is an intelligent person but is a jumble of insecurities and problems like all nerds are. He's going to shape shift himself like Zelig into whatever he has to be to get along and find acceptance.

    He's pitiful.
