Here’s Why NSC Staffer Rich Higgins Says He Was Fired From The Trump Administration [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/23/2017 | Ginni Thomas

Posted on 09/23/2017 7:04:43 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

National Security adviser H.R. McMaster fired Rich Higgins, an Army veteran and former national security surrogate for Trump, on July 21 for a memo he claims captured the unprecedented cultural and ideological threats meant to undermine President Donald Trump’s governance.

When Ezra Cohen from the National Security Council was fired a week later, Higgins’ memo and the back-to-back firings sparked instant intrigue on social media. “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd invited McMaster to do an interview about Higgins’ firing in August, and both men called into question Higgins’ work and reputation.

Since then, Higgins reports that he has had no explanation for the transpired events, saying “I’m still waiting for Chuck Todd to give me a phone call” to explain what really happened, he says in this exclusive interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation. Higgins also claims that no mainstream reporter will contact him, further confirming the total corruption of the fifth estate that is deceiving the American people.

Higgins explains that what America is experiencing is far beyond any normal politics. As a military strategic planner, the venom, vitriol and barrage of narratives directed by the media and cultural elites at a duly-elected president can be seen in an ideological light. Higgins explains that the “nature of the president’s election informed the reaction to his assumption of power.”

I post this article for a few reasons..

Here is one..

“He also calls on Trump supporters to have “strategic patience” with Trump, who came in as a classic counter-revolutionary. It’s going to be a long fight, Higgins says, but he and others plan to continue it on the outside. Losses will be inevitable because of some internal weak links and other challenges, but he tell Trump supporters to “soldier up.””

This paragraph is excellent with respect to this article:

“Ready to push panic button on Trump? Ex-adviser Gorka says ‘relax’”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3587752/posts

Gorka says be patient “it will take some time to reverse some of the damage done by previous administrations.” .. “it’ll take time to put a leash on the “permanent state” of 2 million federal employees who are out to obstruct the president”

Thank you for the ping.

Higgins is right; the “5th Estate” is just the propaganda arm of the state. The only real journalist left is Sharyl Atkisson, and look what she’s going through. She’s lucky to be alive.

Great advice. Unfortunately, Democrats fight for every inch. Even after losing over 1,000 elected seats and the White House they furiously fight any changes to Obamacare. Yet at the same time many GOP plantation conservatives wave the white flag at the first bit turbulence. If Trump is to succeed those who voted for him must show the same determination the Democrats show.

Trump might have been better served by promoting K.T. McFarland to replace Mike Flynn, but he chose Gen. McMaster and gave him authority to choose his own staff.

Why anyone is surprised that McMaster is exercising that authority is beyond me.

Trump formulated all the ideas that we know as Trumpism and MAGA long before any of these people were hired, and I have absolutely no doubt that he will pursue those ideas without having a fleet of advisors to remind him of his own ideas. They can be far more effective in advancing those goals by working on the outside to convince others who need convincing.
