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.

Every administration, Rep. and Dem. has had CFR members including the VP if not the President himself.

Even Ted Cruz' wife Heidi was a CFR policy contributor (for open borders).

Actually, the article presents an excellent summary of McMaster's military record, which, to me, is admirable, glorious, beyond outstanding. And that is a lot more than "full of nothing" according to your yardstick.

What might be added is that his record would compare in quality of military leadership with that of Erwin Rommel, also a tank commander and excellent strategist, and I suppose globalist.

But that quality does not necessarily make the man one acting to preserve his country's integrity.

This is not propaganda. It is facts, not fake. And that is why it was posted, from a conservative blog.

CFR has been discussed and fully dissected, on this forum, for years. I’m surprised that folks with your sign up dates haven’t heard of it.

Lots of stories with non-attributed “sources” but the proof is in the pudding. If he balks at President Trump’s agenda, he won’t last long.

Because clearly you have access to a search engine and can do your own work. This article was just posted as someone else’s fact, not as fomentation. I am not the encyclopedia.
