Reports: HR McMaster Entirely Safe as National Security Adviser…

Conservative Treehouse ^ | 8/4/2017 | sundance

After spending 72 hours looking specifically at the motives of those pushing almost identical paragraphs including the catchphrases: “holdovers”, “purging loyalists“, “unfettered access” and “Caroline Glick“; it comes as no surprise to hear the administration perceives the anti-McMasters crowd as having “jumped the shark”… “reached too far”, and “exposed their agenda” etc.

Ironically HR McMaster appears to be safer than ever in his position as National Security Adviser not specifically because of anything he has done, but as an actual outcome of the piranha approach taken by his detractors. The severity of his opposition’s group-think actually exposed the common denominator.

“General McMaster and I are working very well together. He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country.”

~ President Donald Trump, August 4th, 2017

R McMaster might not get the Afghanistan policy outcome he prefers, but his position as NSA appears safe; and we won’t have to go to war against Iran to appease his opposition. This looks like a genuine win/win/win. Bannon wins on Afghanistan policy; McMaster wins on Iran policy; America-First wins because we’re not going into another war in either Iran or North Korea. Perfect.

WASHINGTON […] John Kelly, Trump’s new chief of staff, has told McMaster he supports him remaining as national security adviser, Politico reported, citing two unnamed senior White House aides.

After Kelly started Monday, McMaster ousted Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence programs at the National Security Council, and the latest ally of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to be dismissed from the White House. (read more)

Also, the President weighed in directly in response to an inquiry from the New York Times:

President Trump defended Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, his embattled national security adviser, on Friday in the face of a full-bore campaign by the nationalist wing of his political coalition accusing him of undermining the president’s agenda and calling for his dismissal.

General McMaster has angered the political right by pushing out several conservatives on the national security staff and cautioning against ripping up the nuclear agreement with Iran negotiated by President Barack Obama without a strategy for what comes next. His future has been in doubt amid speculation that Mr. Trump might send him to Afghanistan.

But after two days of unrelenting attacks on General McMaster by conservative activists and news sites, complete with the Twitter hashtag #FireMcMaster, the president weighed in to quash such talk. “General McMaster and I are working very well together,” he said in a statement emailed to The New York Times. “He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country.”

A senior White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the president’s views, added that Mr. Trump has “total confidence” in his national security adviser. (read more)

I think Israel should have it’s 1922 boarders

McMaster promoters Foreign Policy magazine (Washington Post) and Slate are the new go-to authorities on FR. Haven’t you heard?

Cotton is another neocon’s neocon.

>> Before this is finished the kooks drumming up this controversy will be denouncing Trump as part of the Deep State <<

Maybe, but probably not until the FSB’s puppet masters in St. Petersburg give the go-ahead signal.

[Hawthorn]

>> Sundance is just too quick with her multiple, very in depth analysis articles she authors <<

I thought that Sundance was a he — and probably still is, unless there are now multiple authors at the site.

(He used to be a grocery store manager. But obviously over-qualified for that job. Much stronger talent as a writer!)

[Hawthorn]

>> Cotton is another neocon’s neocon <<

Well for sure, anybody decorated combat veteran who doesn't toe the Alex Jones-Mike Cernovich conspiracy line should be persona non grata around here.

More hard questions that makes it seem the folks at the Conservative Treehouse are not Conservative at all:

McMaster gives NSC role to CAIR’s former Diversity official and cancels speech at NSC by secular Muslim expert on radical Islam.

That’s what I thought too. Then in some of the comments, people referred to Sundance as a she and posted comments to her. It’s weird because she always struck me as male. Of course, it’s possible there might be multiple Sundance authors as well.

Tom Cotton served under McMaster so he has a personal relationship with him. I think this is why Cotton was receptive.

[dmd25]

Just looked it up. Yes, it was at Sea Island, GA. It looks like the intention of the meeting was not to develop take down strategies but that is what ended up occurring. Cotton was there.

That makes sense!

I voted for candidate Trump because he said these neo-cons would be in his tail-lights, not driving the bus.

Concurring bump...McMaster bears watching, although I'm sure Trump is aware of it.

[9YearLurker]

Yes, he is a swamp creature ring leader.

[Hawthorn]

>> there might be multiple Sundance authors as well <<

Yeah, but a few people seem to have switeched lately from male to female — Bruce Jenner, Bradley Manning, etc.

[Kalamata]

Thanks, I thought it might have been Ga. Didn’t they deliberately post the retreat was going to be about something else, as a cover for their real meeting purpose? But they got discovered, nonetheless....

[dmd25]

Here is the article I found about it. Take note that the source is the Huff Po....

At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump

[Kalamata]

There it is, just as you recalled. I just read the article. They report how “uncomfortable about Donald Trump” all the attending Establishment were. It explains a lot about their current resistance! Thanks for posting the link, dmd.

Sure, perfectly innocent, participating in Bilderberg.
Soros and the gang of globalists, perfectly innocent.

[Pelham]

It’s a speech.

Do you have any evidence that he is anything other than an invited speaker?

[Pelham]

You already revealed yourself to be a fool the first time you painted McMaster as a political general. There’s no need for you to repeat your greatest hits.
