Trump Picks CFR Member for New National Security Advisor
The New American ^ | Tuesday, 21 February 2017 | Warren Mass

(snip)

Since Trump owes his election to the presidency primarily to those "standard conservatives," what we applied to Cruz (i.e., that it is no longer considered to be politically risky for a conservative, self-proclaimed "anti-establishment" candidate to openly place a man who is a CFR member in a prominent slot) also applies to Trump. For the "standard conservative," the fact that McMaster is a CFR member is largely irrelevant.

When considering how relevant McMaster’s CFR membership may be in his strategic position in the Trump administration, we should examine how closely he adheres to the CFR’s record for advancing internationalism, eradicating national borders, and entangling the United States and other nations into a number of supranational organizations of which the UN is the outstanding, but not the only, example.

In 2006, McMaster joined the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London as a senior research associate with a mandate to "conduct research to identify opportunities for improved multi-national cooperation and political-military integration in the areas of counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism, and state building," and to devise "better tactics to battle terrorism."

There are several disturbing phrases (e.g., "multi-national cooperation," "political-military integration") found in that description of McMaster’s mandate -- along with his association with the IISS, which has a decidedly internationalist bent. For example, a newsletter posted by the Royal Institute of International Affairs (commonly known as Chatham House), which has long been a type of "sister" counterpart to the CFR in Britain, announced a conference at the Ritz Carlton in Berlin on October 17-19, 2014 entitled "Europe’s Strategic Choices: Building Prosperity and Security." Listed on the program as one of the conference’s keynote speakers at a plenary session, "Defining Europe’s Global Role and Agenda," was François Heisbourg, chairman, International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Trump didn't place Steve Bannon on the NSC just for shits and grins. He knows what he's doing.

It is an organization of globalists. Trump doesn’t represent them.

It’s a dog-whistle that makes True Conservatives(tm) howl in unison.

Too many RATS liked this guy....and I liked Flynn, so I am biased, but
If this is true, he blew his chance with me.

Fox is reporting on what the NYTimes is reporting.
