Very informative article. I had read some years ago that WestExec was the holding pen for these people when their political sponsors were out of office, and this fills in many of the details.

Problem is, I don't know how I'm going to get the slime out of my PC after pulling this one up...

The wretched of the Earth, obviously not the type Fanon was talking about, but the people who are responsible for their plight. The absolute worst of the worst.

It is a "club" whose membership thrives on the dollars each member can contribute to the firm, much like any exclusive organization with billables in the hundreds of thousands. Real estate in rural Virginia is again selling well, as the "change" - which is no real change - in administration is at hand. Great article. It really is an insidious shell game. Thanks, Dr. Doctorow, for this piece.

You have shown how the WestExecs have pulled the wool over the eyes of most Americans. Money rules their decisions and we thank you for helping us to be aware of what they are doing.

I can from reading the article see the corporate wealth behind this retinue of ex intelligence corporate execs as they exercise the revolving door strategy to increase their personal advantage in the corporate sector. But are we to understand they have emerged lizard like from the reptilian orifices of the Deep State courtesy only of their intelligence and political connections not their ruling class pedigree (in education etc.) and mafia family nests of billionaires and their less wealth subalterns?

No, we are not! Which will be covered in WestExec Advisors Part II, ETA later this week.
