Does Trump's shuffling of the Defense Policy Board mean something?

By Andrea Widburg

On Friday, news broke that President Trump had removed several members of the Defense Department's civilian Defense Policy Board.  This follows hard on the heels of his decision to fire defense secretary Mark Esper.  The question is why now?  I've heard some interesting, informal theories suggesting that this has to do with those Scytl machines in Germany.

On November 9, President Trump fired Secretary Esper.  In some ways, as Breitbart notes, it was a "long-anticipated move":

The relationship between Trump and Esper soured quickly after Esper preempted the president by declaring he did not support using active-duty forces to restore peace during a summer of violent riots.

Trump had not called for using troops, but had warned he might if the violence continued. However, Esper's preemptive declaration made it more difficult for the president to use the threat of deployment of troops as a deterrent to rioters.

That's a good reason to fire Esper, but the timing is still interesting.  After all, if Trump has given up and believes he has only two months left in the White House, it was a fairly pointless move.  Alternatively, if he has four years more in the White House, it seems peculiar for him to engage in administrative shuffles when he should be focusing all his energy on challenging the election...........  

The latest military-related shake-up came yesterday, when Trump booted old-guard members of the civilian Defense Policy Board: Henry Kissinger, a realpolitik relic of the 1970s; Madeleine Albright, a Bill Clinton ally; David McCormick, a George W. Bush leftover; Eric Cantor, a RINO; and Rudy de Leon, another Clinton relic.  Again, the move comes at a weird time when Trump's status is unclear........... To Read More....  

My Take - What I find interesting is who were on this board.  Kissinger, Albright, Eric Cantor, and other deep staters and globalists.   Really?  Amazing!
