Report: H.R. McMaster Fired National Security Council Official for Penning Memo on Globalists
Breitbart ^ | August 2, 2017 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 08/02/2017 5:42:46 PM PDT by be-baw

A top official on the National Security Council was fired last month by National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster reportedly after he argued in a memo that President Trump’s administration is under sustained attack from globalists and Islamists. Rich Higgins, a former Pentagon official who served in the NSC’s strategic-planning office as a director for strategic planning was fired on July 21, The Atlantic first reported.

The memo, written in late May, described threats to the administration by globalists, bankers, the “deep state,” and Islamists.

“Globalists and Islamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as a national and political identity, must be destroyed,” it said.

Higgins was called into the White House counsel’s office two weeks ago and asked about the memo. Later that week, he was told by McMaster’s deputy that he was losing his job.

The memo compared what the Trump administration was facing to a Maoist insurgency.

“In Maoist insurgencies, the formation of a counter-state is essential to seizing state power,” the memo said. “Functioning as a hostile complete state acting within an existing state, it has an alternate infrastructure. Political warfare operates as one of the activities of the ‘counter-state.’”

McMaster is purging the NSC of all anti-globalists. I don't trust McMaster. He seems antithetical to Trump's nationalist agenda.

Trump should quietly collect all the people the global it’s purge and once he has enough, fire the rest who were agreeable to the left and let the purged officials run the agency.

I suppose it’s possible we know this but he doesn’t...or it isn’t true.

***********************************************
Isn’t it disgusting. Here we voted for America First nationalist, and look what we got. Liberals infested in DJT’s inner circle. Have we been “had”? Is there some secret strategy that we’ll see at some point?

With HRC as President, the Clinton Foundation would have become further enriched, the country overtaken by violent gangs, commies, and muzzies, and.....Freepers would have filled those FEMA camps.

Is that considered “winning”? I guess so.

So a strategic planner gets canned for stating for the understanding of others in the room, what might be the strategy of globalists, and globalists in the room kick him out for clearly outlining their agenda.

What is not to understand.

Let’s face it - what Trump wants to do is great, but he has done a crappy job of picking his team. They’re fighting him every step of the way.

Sometimes we don’t know who’s worse, the swamp or the people he picked to drain the swamp.

Replace McMaster with the fired Higgins. He is 100% over the target.

McMaster so has to go. A backstabbing, neocon, Islam-denialist globalist.

Get him out of there!

I will agree that a lot of career military people are that way because they’ve never lived out in the real world. Remember when Petreaus and McChrystal came out with a weak understanding of the 2A??

I don't trust him either. Like LS has said, half the people President Trump has had to hire are Swamp-dwellers themselves.

Doubtless Higgins' memo offended McMcaster's globalist sensibilities—even though every word of it was probably true...
