The Blinken Bunch: the Fascinating Back-Story of US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken
Ambassadors, philanthropists, and a Yiddish writer have all had unique influences on Tony than can be easily observed as he pushes the world into war. This is my favorite article yet.
Tony Blinken has a long resume as a public servant. After graduating Harvard and Columbia Law, he began working in the US State Department under Bill Clinton. From there, he’s navigated through a myriad of positions within the federal government, almost too many to keep track of. He is now one of the most prominent figures in the Biden Administration. This article comes to you after I learned a bit about Victoria Nuland’s familial background from the currently imprisoned journalist Gonzalo Lira’s expose on Nuland’s historical grievances with the Russian empire. Curiosity led me to wonder if other key players in the State Department had similar stories. This article serves as a simple introduction to the information I found regarding our current Secretary of State, Mr. Anthony Blinken.
If you aren’t in the mood to engage with this obsessive-compulive deep dive, here are the highlights, in no particular order:
→ Anthony Blinken’s stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was the close friend and permanent attorney of the notorious Israeli/British/West German (possibly Soviet) intelligence agent/financial criminal Robert Maxwell, who also happens to be the father of Ghislaine Maxwell.
→ His stepmother, Vera, published one of the most Russophobic works of literature I’ve ever read as her autobiography, co-authored by Anthony’s father. She openly proclaims her family’s allegiance and collaboration to the Nazi German regime in the book.
→ His great-grandfather, Mier Blinken, was a renowned Yiddish-language author in New York at the start of the last century. The poorly-written short stories focus largely on extramarital sexual affairs.
→ In accordance with the American meritocratic tradition, Anthony’s father and uncle serves as US ambassadors in Europe. further reading on this
→ His grandfather Maurice was a key player in the US appropriation of the Balfour Declaration, the watershed legislation that eventually led to the establishment of the Israeli state.
Anthony Blinken is descended from a long line of prominent society members with geopolitical inclinations. In 1904, his great-grandfather, Mier Blinken, immigrated from Kiev back when it was still Russia to the freedom-filled shores of New York. Mier became a prominent literary figure through the Yiddish-speaking community which, judging by the literary quality of Senor Blinken’s many short stories, was not home to the most robust spheres of fine literature. I highly recommend taking a moment to read one or two of his works, my favorite of which tells the harrowing tale of a lovely young woman turning into a screeching wretch when her doting partner insists she abort the child she had been praying for. What a bitch, am I right?!
This great line of cognitive revolutionaries then continued in the form of Maurice Henry Blinken, the grandfather of our State Department’s one and only. In the dwindling years of old age, Maurice reached out to a renowned scholar of Yiddish literature by name of Ruth Wisse in pursuit of publishing his father’s works in English. After reading Ms. Wisse, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of regret each time I drive my Hyundai, whose name, incidentally, is Ruth. Maurice was a key figure in the creation of the Israeli State in the 1940s when he founded the American Palestine Institute with the hopes of procuring support from the US government for the official establishment of the Israeli ethno-state by publishing papers explaining the financial feasibility of the endeavor. While Tony often brings up the pogroms his grandfather fled in Russia, immigration record show the man was in the United States well before the first documented pogrom.
Impressively, Maurice fathered two US ambassadors (Hungary and Belgium), one of which, Donald, is the father of our respectable Secretary of State. Donald and his wife Vera are a fascinating upper society “power couple” with a rich historical background. Vera was born in Budapest in an undisclosed year (yes, you read that correctly), presumably in the mid-1930s. Her early life is fascinatingly detailed in her autobiography where she recounts her mother’s brave collaboration with the Nazi German army until the barbaric Soviet soldiers tragically liberated her from the civilized Teutonic occupation. She actually uses the word Teutonic. I will resist the urge to relay the abjectly racist and obviously false accounts she gives of the Soviet soldiers - I could write an entire article on her - and instead encourage you to read this excerpt from her book yourself and consider that this profoundly chauvinistic woman raised the current US Secretary of State (as his stepmother).
Tony’s biological mother is only slightly less interesting. Judith Pisar was a well-known figure in New York as was her husband, Tony’s stepfather, Samuel Pisar. A prominent international prosecutor who advised American and French presidents in the 60’s and 70’s, Pisar was also the permanent attorney and close friend of a man known as Robert Maxwell. Maxwell was a British media mogul with a rich criminal history. Following the Second World War, he was employed by security agencies such as the Mossad, the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and the West German Intelligence Corps Headquarters. You may have heard of his daughter, Ghislaine.
The ‘Blinken Bunch,’ with their varied and vivid history, provide a backdrop that undoubtedly contributes to Antony Blinken's worldview and approach in his current role as Secretary of State. His specific relationships to the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are particularly relevant as the world threats to boil over into a new World War. Blinken's ascendancy to a pivotal role in the Biden Administration is intricately tied to a family legacy steeped in geopolitical history and societal influence, and the world can only hope the obvious conflicts of interest don’t eventually result in a global catastrophe.

This reminds me of the of the Q intel post #916 "We are saving Israel for last". Interesting that many so-called conspiracy theories have actually been conspiracies.
