Former South Bend Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a rising star in the Democratic Party. A mere year ago few could have picked him out of a police lineup. Now hes the presumptive front-runner of the centrist faction of the party and for the moment at least the most likely person for Stop Bernie" forces to coalesce around.
But few know much about him if anything. His personal biography seems to revolve around two data points. First that hes a gay Christian. Second that hes a former Navy intelligence officer.
The latter of the two has not had any significant scrutiny. When Mayor Petes" military record is subjected to even the slightest bit of observation however some disturbing facts and damning questions begin to leap out. The question at the bottom continues to be: Who is Pete Buttigieg?
Pete Buttigieg: Corporate Consultant
Mayor Pete likes to talk a lot about his
deployment to Afghanistan (more on that later) but he also spent some time in Iraq when he was working for McKinsey and Company as an energy retail economic development and logistics consultant. He makes a passing reference to having been in a
safe house in Iraq" in 2007 in his memoir
Shortest Way Home. Indeed Buttigieg spent time in
both Iraq and Afghanistan while he was working with McKinsey and Company. This time period (2007-2010) also overlaps with his time as a Naval intelligence officer (2009-2017).
McKinsey isnt just any global management consulting firm. They have a contract with the Department of Defense as part of a broader
Task Force on Business and Stability Operations. This project was criticized by
Minnesota Congresswoman Betty McCollum in 2011 as an inappropriate use of military resources. Why after all is the military
being used to create an attractive investment and growth environment for American companies? One of the tasks carried out by the task force was to help
Kate Spade source raw materials for her handbags.
In 2009 McKinsey was given an
$18.6 million contract that expanded their work from Afghanistan into Iraq.
Pete refuses to answer questions about what he was doing with McKinsey during this period citing a non-disclosure agreement thats over 10 years old. What we do know however is that Buttigieg was stationed in
Herat Province for part of his resum-building tour of duty where McKinsey was also very active.
Unfortunately there arent a lot of dots to connect here but the dots we have are worth noticing. Just like its worth noticing that Buttigieg found time to volunteer for Barack Obamas 2008 presidential campaign Pat Bauers Indiana gubernatorial campaign and enlist in the United States Navy all while he was still working at his high-powered consulting gig with McKinsey. He finally left McKinsey in 2010 when he launched his losing bid for Indiana State Treasurer.
