Reports: HR McMaster Entirely Safe as National Security Adviser…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 8/4/2017 | sundance

Posted on 08/04/2017 8:45:26 PM PDT by Signalman

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)

Yeah, well Donald Trump is another one tooting McMaster’s horn.

So while it grieves me greatly not to be in the same camp as a genius of your caliber I guess I’ll just have to live with it.

Thanks. But I will never be standing with Hugh Hewitt and the rest of Never Trumpers rushing to support General H. R. McPatton.

Nor will you be standing with Donald Trump.

And my guess is that’s nothing new for you.

“If Trump trusts him, then it’s all good.”

Alternatively, if Trump is using McMaster as bait to smoke out Never-Trumpers for firing, then perhaps it is also all good.

You are very, very naive. The point of the Bilderberg meetings is emphatically NOT NOT NOT the speeches.

It’s the opportunity for the participants to coordinate plans in total secrecy.

It’s where the Tom Cottons are seduced and coopted by the Brennans and McMasters and Goldman Sachs CEOs. “Sure take the lead on immigration, that will give you cover. But we’ll need your help for X,Y and Z.”

The giveaway is Cotton being a proponent of H.R. McBilderberger to replace Flynn as NSA. Why?

You spelled it out nicely, Travis, which, no doubt, infuriates these “operators”. They get really annoyed when they are “unmasked”... lol.

It’s the new moniker for the KGB, sorta like African-Americans used to be called Negroes, or “undocumented aliens” used o be called illegal immigrants. Same old same old.

Unlike McGlobalist, I have been a supporter of POTUS since the “Mexican Rapist” speech.

I see the MSNBC stooge who suggested ISIS bomb a Trump property is now boosting McMaster. You keep good company it seems.

Whenifhow, the Congressional Credit Union slush fund is a scandal of enormous proportions, greatly outsizing the Rostenkowski Congressional Post Office Scandal of 1993:

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/25/us/rostenkowski-defiantly-denies-wrongdoning-in-postal-scandal.html

This Congressional Credit Union scandal that the Awans are caught up in is not even the tip of the iceberg as it may explain why most all of Congress is hush-hush about the Awan group. It could explain a lot as to how members and staffers of Congress may be compromised.

Thanks for that info. Crooks seem to find ways to twist and deceive.

Prayers up!

Maybe Trump plays the usual talk out of both sides of the mouth like politicians do differently, by using a subordinate to do the bidding of other side of his mouth.
Somethings weird is going on. Just tossing a random thought out there.

I don't want to believe what you wrote is true. However, my reading and information gathering over the last year or so makes me think you are likely right.

I don't want the Tom Cottons of the country seduced. It makes me sick.

Check out this HuffPo article from 2016. Lookie here, Cotton attended this one too. Not just Bilderberg 2017, last June.

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

Karl Rove shared focus group findings that give hope to the GOP establishment.
By Ryan Grim , Nick Baumann , Matt Fuller

Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.

The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump. (The meeting was not planned to be a strategy session on how to stop the GOP front-runner, but rather evolved into one, as a subsequently obtained agenda makes clear.)

Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he “cannot support Donald Trump.”

Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.), Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.).

Philip Anschutz, the billionaire GOP donor whose company owns a stake in Sea Island, was also there, along with Democratic Rep. John Delaney, who represents Maryland. Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, was there, too, a Times spokeswoman confirmed.

“A specter was haunting the World Forum—the specter of Donald Trump,” Kristol wrote in an emailed report from the conference, borrowing the opening lines of the Communist Manifesto. “There was much unhappiness about his emergence, a good deal of talk, some of it insightful and thoughtful, about why he’s done so well, and many expressions of hope that he would be defeated.”

Check out 137. It’s not just the Rats, it’s the GOPe in the treason column. And just look at the list, including McMaster cheerleader Sen. Tom “How fast can I rise?” Cotton. Who more recently met with luminaries such as McMaster, John Brennan etc at Bilderberg 2017 last June in Virginia.

Keep in mind, Bilderberg is NOT about speeches. It’s about the private one-on-one and one-on-two (deniable) meetings where secret global strategies are decided.

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

Guess who said that Friday night in response to the kooks.

Yes, Travis. This is the meeting dmd and I were discussing recently. I wonder if Cotton has had a change of heart toward PDJT or if he is still in the secretly-plotting cabal.
