Having been raised in a political family I have come to understand that the individual 'voted' to office is not the leader of this Nation. There are individuals that have been in 'office' since Carter, still actively influencing politics and making policy. You cannot believe that this nation completely turns over all control, all national secrets, all power, and authority to a new 'leader' every four years.
This is not a conspiracy thread, just a explanation of true American politics. I intend to demonstrate how political platforms currently, and previously utilised by the Administrative office were produced by individuals that have held key positions in politics for over 40 years. Lets look at one individual.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is a CSIS counselor and trustee and co-chairs the CSIS Advisory Board. He is also a senior research professor of international relations at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, in Washington, D.C. and a member of the International Advisory Board of the Atlantic Council.
He is a former chairman of the American-Ukrainian Advisory Committee.
He was a member of the Policy Planning Council of the Department of State from 1966 to 1968; chairman of the Humphrey Foreign Policy Task Force in the 1968 presidential campaign; director of the Trilateral Commission from 1973 to 1976; and principal foreign policy adviser to Jimmy Carter in the 1976 presidential campaign.
From 1977 to 1981, Dr. Brzezinski was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter. In 1981, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his role in the normalization of U.S.-China relations and for his contributions to the human rights and national security policies of the United States.
He was also a member of the President’s Chemical Warfare Commission (1985), the National Security Council–Defense Department Commission on Integrated Long-Term Strategy (1987–1988), and the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (1987–1989).
In 1988, he was cochairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task Force, and in 2004, he was cochairman of a Council on Foreign Relations task force that issued the report Iran: Time for a New Approach.
Dr. Brzezinski received a B.A. and M.A. from McGill University (1949, 1950) and Ph.D. from Harvard University (1953).
He was a member of the faculties of Columbia University (1960–1989) and Harvard University (1953–1960).
Dr. Brzezinski holds honorary degrees from Georgetown University, Williams College, Fordham University, College of the Holy Cross, Alliance College, the Catholic University of Lublin, Warsaw University, and Vilnius University. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards. Most recently, Dr. Brzezinski was awarded the de Tocqueville Prize in 2011 for his contributions to the political science field.
His many books include Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power (Basic Books, 2012);
America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy (Basic Books, 2008), coauthored with Brent Scowcroft and David Ignatius;
Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower (Basic Books, 2007);
The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership (Basic Books, 2004).
Brzezinski is the creator of the Mujahideen.
In that a 1998 interview , Brzezinski recognized that his policies brought about the Taliban and said it was worth it:
Published on: May 1, 2008. In an interview from Adam Garfinkle ,Brzezinski was quoted:
What's more is that he even admits having aided Pol Pot who committed a mass genocide of 2,000,000 people.
During his reign as National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski played an important role in determining how the U.S. would support the Pol Pot guerrillas. Elizabeth Becker, an expert on Cambodia, recently wrote, "Brzezinski himself claims that he concocted the idea of persuading Thailand to cooperate fully with China in efforts to rebuild the Khmer Rouge....

Current day:
NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM-46. National interest in Africa.
Zbigniew Brzezinski: Cooperation On Iran Deal Boosts U.S.-China Ties "Zbigniew Brzezinski is one of America’s leading strategic thinkers."
“If I could shape foreign policy in its entirety, I would like to create a situation in which we and the Chinese and the Russians were more consciously aware of the shared interests that we have rather than of the disparities,” says Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former national security advisor for Jimmy Carter and a favorite geopolitical strategist among the global chessboard gamers. Known in foreign policy (and conspiracy) circles as “Zbig”, Brzezinski is known for his strategy of keeping Soviet Russia stuck in their own Afghanistan war on the idea that it would help build up U.S. defenses and ultimately put a financial squeeze on Moscow.
America Pivots to Brzezinski’s Delusion of Eurasian Conquest: "We are, and I don't want to sound alarmist but I am alarmed, closer to the actual possibility of war with Russia than we have ever been since the Cuban missile crisis. That's how bad it's been." (Stephen Cohen) Brzezinski stands apart as the inspiration for the Ukraine crisis. His 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives lays out the blueprint for how American primacists should feel towards drawing Ukraine away from Russia because, "Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire." To an expert like Stephen Cohen, the Obama administration's indictment of Russia over Ukraine "doesn't correspond to the facts and above all it has no logic." But a look back forty years reveals that a lot of Cold War thinking wasn't fact-based either and it may now be instructive to look for answers to Washington's current dose of illogic in the covert origins of the U.S. supported 1970s war for Afghanistan."
This one individual has had a direct impact from the 60's to current day concerning America's foreign policy. Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and........ That's 56 years and 6 presidents.
This post is Wayyyy too long as it is. I can not possibly shed light on everything he is currently engaged in concerning foreign policy in this first post. But I do hope to raise the question of:
"Why is the current presidential nominee running on said platform?"
