President Biden announced Monday that he will nominate Elliott Abrams to the bipartisan United States Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, CNN has reported.
Abrams is a neoconservative hawk who led the Trump administration’s failed Venezuela regime change effort, which involved crushing economic sanctions that are still in effect today, besides Biden giving Chevron a limited license to pump oil in the country.
Toward the end of Trump’s presidency, Abrams was also assigned as the US’s top Iran envoy, where he oversaw a sanctions policy designed to prevent President Biden from re-entering the Iran nuclear deal.
Abrams is notorious for his role in covering up atrocities committed by US-backed forces in Latin America during the Reagan administration in the 1980s, most notably the El Mozate massacre in El Salvador.
Over 800 civilians were killed by US-trained forces in El Mozate, and at the time, Abrams praised the death squad and disputed the death toll. In 1991, Abrams pled guilty for lying to Congress about the Iran-Contra Affair but was pardoned by President George H.W. Bush.
Abrams also served in the George W. Bush administration as the deputy national security advisor from 2005 – 2009. He currently works for the Council on Foreign Relations as senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies.

Appointing Elliott Abrams to Public Diplomacy Commission has as much logic going for it as placing an arsonist in charge of the fire department a serial killer in charge of the police or having a senile old man who doesn’t know which war is being fought in the White House or placing someone from Monsanto in charge of food safety.
However and unfortunately that’s just the way it is….so the real question that ought to be asked is how much longer is this going to be tolerated?
It will be tolerated as long as neocons control US foreign policy. Their ultimate goal is to force the USA into a catastrophic war with Russia that will be the end of the USA as we know it. Who knew that Rumsfeld’s 2001 list of nations that we would “take out” included the USA?
The Neocons are the outer layer of something even larger – there’s much more to this – In a nutshell – from the NeoZiocons all the way to the world of high finance.
Yes, indeed. That is the evil cabal that brought us 9/11 and all the wars of this century. For hundreds of years they have made a profit from empires coming and going. Sometimes I wonder if they’re even human anymore.
There’s the ”Cabal” and then there are those who follow and carry out their instructions for whatever reason.
So they’re human alright however what does that reveal about humanity at large…that collectively we’re cowards yet needlessly willing to make sacrifices in order to ensure a roof over our head or food on the table.
[Sheep are easily led neither do they stand up and fight.]
Why don’t we stand up and push back?
Could it really be as simple as, it’s all because of the present economic system is based on usury?
Yeah,the man who read the memo to General Wesley Clark misread it.
“”…. how much longer is this going to be tolerated?””
only the american public could put a stop to things.
but the reality is that the public has no clue what is being done behind the scenes.
Or when the uniformed align themselves with the US public – from what I’ve noticed they’ve found and embraced their inner Nazi’s as if they just discovered their childhood sweetheart.
Ain’t going to happen. We are too fat and lazy. We have too many people watching loony toons on TV.
Same as it ever was.
Yes, indeed. Straussian neocons like Abrams have a collective hard-on for Armageddon and nothing short of WWIII will get them off. That has been the case since forever.
Another Gentile-hating Zionist ..
Abrams is certainly a Zionist. And he has been a force of evil in US foreign and international relations for a very long time. But it would be interesting to know why you think he’s “Gentile-hating.”
Elliott Abrams?
The uniparty is always with us despite all the fake arguing in DC.
Other than Blinky who in Biden administration thinks of Elliot Abrams? This guy should be jailed for stunts he pulled during Reagan administration. Biden is dumb.
He is true to form, all his appointments are like that, the man was never presidential quality, and dementia does not make it better.
Putin picked a team he can work with, the sign of a competent leader. Compare that with the wilted plants the NATO and EU leaders are
The Biden gang is just a collection of criminals, but it is part of politics, politicians tend to have criminal minds.
Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland…………..now Abrams.
“besides Biden giving Chevron a limited license to pump oil in the country (Venezuela)”
imagine feeling so entitled that you see nothing wrong with handing your neighbor’s belongings over to your friends
Scour hell, you couldn’t find a more qualified candidate.
Gad, to appoint this cretin to anything is a giant middle finger to the world.
He is an expert on creating civilian casualties; maybe appoint this zionist to a commission on counting civilian casualties created by the clusterfk decision pending from this neo con dominated admin.
Should not be surprised…! An idiot president choose another idiot for diplomacy…!
With more appointments like this the US takes a major step to failure and moral destruction. Between Biden,Trump and Desantis the alleged Democracy is on its last legs with three broken feet.If this does not change PDQ America has no future.America issues are monumental life altering. I do not see any cavalry charging over the hill with the current group of leaders and SCOTUS.
Another right wing,pseudo fascist war loving appontment by Senile drooling Joe Biden the working mans hero from Scranton PA a lifetime tool of the MIC,Oil Companies and our crooked,corrupt banking system.
JOE, THE DELAWARE MAN. DELAWARE, WHERE MEN ARE MEN AND CORPORATIONS SINK THEIR ROOTS.
Perfect fit for Sleepy Joe.
How nauseating.
Appointing Elliot Abrams tells us a lot about Joe Biden.
He is a pardoned felon, jailed for crimes in diplomacy representing the US, and then allowed to do it again and again for many administrations.
Elliot f*cking Abrams???????????????? Absolute insanity.
Abrams is a poisonous reptile in human form.
Why not? Biden is a complete fraud
Deplomacy commission ? ,LOL
Bolton can’t be far behind.
On a good note, Evil is no longer pretending that he was never in charge.
Mike Pence should campaign for a regime change in Kiev.
Nominating Eliot Abrams to the Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacyis like nominating Hannibal Lecter to the Child Welfare Commission.
My recollection is that Lecter didn’t eat children, and in fact was kind to and concerned for them. But my recollection could be incorrect. It’s been years since I read the novels and saw the movies, and I never did watch the TV series with Mads Mikkelsen.
