"Steady Hands" and "It's a Beautiful Thing…"

Holy shit Anons, I stumbled on a couple of key phrases to look for in our diggz! Anybody praised for having "Steady Hands" in leaked comms from swamp creatures should be viewed with [extreme] suspicion!

Quotes from 51:47 & 53:50

51:47 - EW: "We have to clean out this class of people that put up with each other. It's like the reason they put up with each other and they don't like indict each other or sue each other or report on each other, is that they're all the same. And that was the key skill for between 35 and 50 years, which is 'knowing what not to say to upset the institutional apple cart'."

53:50 - EW: "But this is the whole thing about the Gated Institutional Narrative - the key issue, and I learned this when I used to do immigration stuff in Washington during the 90's… I learned this concept of "Steady Hands". This is like one of the most terrifying phrases ever. So I told you I think at some point, that in New York, whenever people are deciding to do a bad thing to screw people over, they always use the phrase, "It's a beautiful thing" - meaning that you can extract money from people who have no say in the matter? In Washington…

JR: "This is financial circles you're talking about?"

EW: "Yeah yeah yeah - New York finance. So whenever you hear the phrase, "It's a beautiful thing", it means somebody is being raped (financially). In Washington, the phrase I learned to fear is "Steady Hands". "He has a pair of steady hands" - that means you can count on him to do the wrong thing in an emergency to keep everybody on the inside OK. And there's like a separate system for promoting the people who do the wrong thing and making sure - because everybody inside is super dependent on somebody burning all of their credibility in public. Steady hands…"

Did an initial search on Wikileaks for "Steady Hands" and immediately came up with some fascinating tidbits: going to need to break this post into segments because there's just so much!

"IRELAND'S SOVEREIGN DEBT – IN GOOD HANDS" - 2009 April 17, 10:24 (Friday)

"The NTMA [Irish National Treasury Management Agency] is clearly a "steady pair of hands." The government can complement the good work done by the NTMA by sticking to its just-announced five-year fiscal plan"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Treasury_Management_Agency

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Asset_Management_Agency

The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) is the agency that manages the assets and liabilities of the Government of Ireland. It was established on 1 December 1990 to borrow for the Central Fund and manage the national debt. Since then it has been expanded greatly, for example it now manages the National Pensions Reserve Fund and acts as Ireland's agent for the purchase of carbon credits. The National Asset Management Agency was established in December 2009 under the aegis of the agency to handle the Irish financial crisis and the deflation of the Irish property bubble.

"NEW MOLDOVAN CABINET: FEW CHANGES, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ECONOMIC REFORM" - 2008 April 3, 02:02 (Thursday)

Useful Old Hands Staying On

-----–

"3. (C) The old and steady hands who have stayed on are Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Andrei Stratan, Minister of Justice Vitalie Pirlog, Minister of Defense Vitalie Vrabie, Minister of Reintegration Vasile Sova, Minister of Social Protection, Family and Child Galina Balmos, Gagauz Governor Mihail Formuzal (ex officio), and Minister of Economics and trade Igor Dodon, who was also promoted to First Deputy Prime Minister. We have had close and fruitful working relations with all of them. Mr. Dodon, and the new Prime Minister, have cooperated closely with us on economic and financial reform; Dodon's promotion to First Deputy Prime Minister indicates that the new government will give a high priority to deregulating the economy, removing barriers, such as corruption, to investment, and cooperating with us on Millennium Challenge Corporation reforms."

and

"7. (C) Comment: Like the Prime Minister herself (reftel), the cabinet appears to be a group of steady technocrats, who, President Voronin told the Ambassador in an April 2 meeting, have a mandate to improve economic conditions for Moldovans before the 2009 parliamentary elections."

Technocrats with steady hands running Moldova right when Hussein took the helm… "Minister of Social Protection, Family and Child"? Yikes! Do we have any leads on human trafficking out of Moldova?

"Remarks by President Obama in Address to the People of Europe" - 2016-04-25 10:51

"And on behalf of all of us, I want to thank you for your commitment to freedom, and equality, and human rights, which is a reflection of your inspiring life. I truly believe you've shown us the leadership of steady hands – how do you call it? The Merkel-Raute. (Laughter.) And over the last seven years, I have relied on your friendship and counsel, and your firm moral compass. So we very much appreciate your Chancellor, Angela Merkel."

Obama praising Merkel for her "steady hands" in the same breath as her committment to freedom, equality, and human rights…

"STRATFOR Leak / THE NATIONAL JOURNAL - "The Return of the Grown-Ups"" - January 13, 2007

"In what one former official called "the closest thing to an intelligence coup d'etat," a set of old hands has been designated to lead at the principal military and civilian agencies. Career intelligence officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief this past week and were hopeful that new management would help stabilize the spy agencies, which have been hurt by flawed analyses on Iraq, bureaucratic infighting, and a lack of experienced senior leadership. In this new intelligence constellation, there are four key players…."

"The new power structure comes at a time when the intelligence community needs steady hands, observers said. Outgoing DNI John Negroponte, a career ambassador who is returning to his roots at the State Department as Condoleezza Rice's deputy, never seemed comfortable in his role as intelligence czar."

So those "Grown Ups" would be: [retired Navy Vice Adm. Mike McConnell][Defense Secretary Robert Gates][retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper][CIA Director Michael Hayden]

"BROWN'S GOVERNMENT IN PLACE" - 2007 July 2, 16:01 (Monday)

"Until this past weekend's aborted car bomb attacks drove comment about the new Cabinet off the front pages, initial editorial reaction, even from papers hostile to Labour, had been favorable, with most observers agreeing that Brown's cabinet was a mixture of new talent and "steady hands." The appointment of Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary sparked some questions about her experience to take on the high profile job, but her performance in the days following the bomb attacks has earned her thus far uniform praise."

May need to take a look at the "aborted car bomb attacks" in the UK in June 2007 - possible FF event, and Jacqui Smith proved she could keep her mouth shut to the Usual Suspects by the way she handled it?

"DENMARK'S NEW PRIME MINISTER" - 2009 April 6, 12:28 (Monday)

"Lars Lokke Rasmussen lacks significant foreign policy experience and can be expected to hew closely to what has, in his words, worked well so far. All indications are that the government will sustain its key policies of active engagement in concert with us and European allies, including in priority missions such as in Afghanistan and in Kosovo. Changes in the foreign and defense portfolios are not expected in the short term, and we anticipate that the new prime minister will rely heavily on those steady hands."

Something rotten in the State of Denmark?

The hits just keep coming, Anons… and I haven't even started on "It's a beautiful thing" yet!!!
