Is this Barack Obama’s administration, or Donald Trump’s? Trump campaigned rebuking Obama and Hillary Clinton for not daring to call terrorism Islamic. And now Rich Higgins has been fired for warning about “Islamists”? McMaster must go. Please call the White House at 202-456-1111 and politely and courteously ask that McMaster be fired and Higgins (and others McMaster has fired) be reinstated.
The Leftist establishment media is working to spin the firing of Higgins as a showdown between McMaster and Steve Bannon. In reality, it’s McMaster as Obama’s front man versus Trump.
If the Trump administration is going to have any integrity in its message and any coherent connection with the premises of the Trump campaign, McMaster must go, and go quickly, along with all the other Obama holdovers and Obama sympathizers who think that denying the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat is the best way to deal with that threat.
“McMaster Purges NSC Staffer for Warning of Islamist-Leftist Threat,” by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage, August 2, 2017:
McMaster had purged Derek Harvey, one of the NSC’s best people on the Middle East, for trying to fire Obama holdovers.
“In the late 1980s, Harvey traveled throughout Iraq by taxicab—500 miles, village to village—interviewing locals, sleeping on mud floors with a shower curtain for a door. He [was] full of questions, intensely curious and entirely nonthreatening. After the 1991 Gulf War, when the CIA was predicting the inevitable fall of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Harvey, then a major, insisted that Hussein would survive because members of the Sunni community knew their fortunes were tied to his. He was right. Months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Harvey wrote an intelligence paper declaring that al Qaeda and the Taliban leadership in Afghanistan posed a strategic threat to the United States.”
And why was Harvey fired?
That dispute was followed by a bigger one. Bannon and Trump, according to White House officials, pressed McMaster to fire a list of Obama holdovers at the National Security Council who were suspected of leaking to the press. The list of names was compiled by Derek Harvey, a former Defense Intelligence Agency colonel who was initially hired by Flynn. McMaster balked. He refused to fire anyone on the list and asserted that he had the authority to fire and hire National Security Council staff.
And McMaster keeps using that authority to purge patriots from the NSC.
Rich Higgins, a top official of the National Security Council was fired last month after arguing in a memo that President Trump is under sustained attack from subversive forces both within and outside the government who are deploying Maoist tactics to defeat President Trump’s nationalist agenda.
“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,” the memo warns. It argues that this has led “Islamists [to] ally with cultural Marxists,” but that in the long run, “Islamists will co-opt the movement in its entirety.”
“Because the left is aligned with Islamist organizations at local, national, and international levels, recognition should be given to the fact that they seamlessly interoperate through coordinated synchronized interactive narratives … These attack narratives are pervasive, full spectrum, and institutionalized at all levels. They operate in social media, television, the 24-hour news cycle in all media and are entrenched at the upper levels of the bureaucracies.”
Higgins, seen as an ally of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, had only served on the council for a couple months.
Higgins had also “pushed for declassification of documents having to do with radical Islam and Iran,” according to a source close to the White House. A source close to Higgins said that specifically, Higgins had been pushing for the declassification of Presidential Study Directive 11, a classified report produced in 2010 by the Obama administration which presaged the Arab Spring, outlining unrest throughout the Middle East. The directive has become a shibboleth of activists such as Frank Gaffney, who see it as evidence of the Obama administration’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups.
Higgins, according to another source with direct knowledge of the incident, was called into the White House Counsel’s office the week before last and asked about the memo. On July 21, the Friday of that week, he was informed by McMaster’s deputy Ricky Waddell that he was losing his job.
And so McMaster purges another challenge to the Obama order. And you have to wonder whether he isn’t emerging as a national security threat….

The Deep State strikes again. The swamp creatures can survive even if the swamp is drained.
mortimer says
McMaster mistakenly thinks that the Saudis are friends of the West.
Drain the Deep State swamp.
John Forbes says
GET RID if this guy & fast ! He is a THROW BACK of the OBAMA / CLINTON administration & needs to GO & FAST !
His actions illustrate what is wrong with the Government ! APPEASEMENT , Bowing down to ISLAM & COWARDICE & TRUMP promised to DRAIN THE SWAMP & a good start id =s with people like this !!!!!!!!!!!
Sons of Liberty says
McMaster …MUST GO ! Derek Harvey , Rich Higgins and Steve Bannon know the REAL THREAT to the United States , a Marxist/ Islamist/ Globalist threat to infiltrate the government and all areas of American society. Obama was a traitor and McMaster is one of his allies. You want to know where the leaks are coming from ,…..look no further than McMaster . An apologist for Islam , who says that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam . Really ? This guy is NSC Director and doesn’t even know that ISIS is following the Qur’an …to the letter !

Trump should Fire Mc Master the Left/Liberal Pro-jihadi traitor and his appointees and get those who did great job of identifying these Anti-American scums to be appointed in his place.
Manuel 2 Paleologus says
Wait and see. It will happen soon!
All these Musobama’s traitors must be ousted from any position.
Voytek Gagalka says
If the Trump administration would have any integrity, McMaster would never be appointed to his position. Once he was, so called “Trump change” (as compared to Obama policies about Islam) are illusory at best, totally bogus at worse, Hence NOTHING changed and that lack of change is dragging the Trump administration into the swamp, deeper and deeper with each passing day and week. Sorry guys! I told you so on the day first after McMaster’s appointment and I stick to it today. Yes, he MUST go. But will he? Does Pres. Trump have anything to say in that matter? Now it looks that his appointment was a sort of appeasement toward anti-Trump senators. Did it work? Hell, NO! In reality THEY are those who rule over him, not that he has any influence on them.

This overall resistance, to any look see, if being a Muslim is a good or a bad thing,
in America, has allowed, over the decades, for, far to many things to happen that are
terribly serious and very pervasive.
So General Mc Masters surely knows of these subversive activities and maybe
complicit in it himself. This is a monumental infestation of our Government,
President Trump is up-against The Machine. I hope the President sees this.
The baby has the hammer, someone better notice, and put it up somewhere safe.
jewdog says
Trump seems to think military officers are the oracles from Delphi. Traditionally, the military have been subordinated to civilian authority for very good reasons. One of them is that they are trained primarily to be battlefield engineers and not political analysts who can think deeply about strategy. Presumably, our elected leaders are knowledgeable enough to provide wise direction to the military, but Trump, a man of basically sound instincts, seems too intellectually shallow for that. Hence his wobbling, flailing and questionable appointments.
Sons of Liberty says
I don’t agree ! He appointed Steve Bannon , who is a true PATRIOT ! Also, General Eisenhower made a pretty good Chief Executive , warning the Country about the military/ industrial complex. Trump has been forced to do things to satisfy the establishment Republicans , like Reince Preibus and even VP Pence to a degree . However , now I think he realizes that these mainstream Republicans ARE NOT his friends and I believe he wanted Priebus gone …and Scaramucci helped get him out. Trump needs to rely on people like Steve Bannon , and get rid of McMaster and other Obama holdovers. He needs to hire back Derek Harvey and Rich Higgins and even hire Frank Gaffney. Great Patriots .
Lucia Bartoli says
McMaster already on the hot seat for leaking info to McCabe and probably will be sent to Afghanistan to lead a try for 4th star.
Pompeo, it seems will be in that slot.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Reading about the firings over at Brietbart, my first thought was of JW, where Spencer was first to report on Mad Dog’s confusion about how Islam’s “troubles” were due to Sunni-Shia sectarianism. As if. That’s addled wrapped inside a fuzzy coating of delusion. A better name for this clown is Lap Dog. And, being an antisemite, he’s in good company on his anti-Israel endeavors, including many Jews, from Hollywood and NYC mainly. Bah on Lap Dog and the droppings he pinches from out below his prehensile tail. Finally, after all our sacrifices, we have a dog who can hang from the lower branch of a tree.
Liz says
FYI – I phoned the White House about an hour ago. The lines were busy, and I was on hold for about five minutes. The operator I spoke to said they’d gotten quite a few calls about this today. Hopefully, it will make a difference. Thanks you, Robert Spencer for the alert.
gravenimage says
Good for you, Liz! And I’m glad to hear that others are protesting this.
mortimer says
Who exactly is the MASTER of McMaster?
We must assume that HIS MASTERS are the GLOBALISTS and ISLAMISTS. The BANKSTER-OILSTER AXIS OF EVIL.
Mark Swan says
Good One mortimer.

Good One bobm.

Like I warned, the chess pieces may change, but the game and its agenda and goals remain the same. In reality, nothing has changed. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble.
Islam_Macht_Frei says
Robert – please disabuse yourself of the fantasy that Trump has any principles aside from gratifying himself or that you can ever believe a single thing he says.
Sons of Liberty says
You are TOTALLY WRONG… in that statement ! President Trump , first of all didn’t need to put himself or his family through all the crap he is going through right now. He made his money in real estate and construction and not BY BEING A DAMN POLITICIAN, …like the CLINTONS OR OBAMAS. He ran for President for ONE REASON ,… …he saw his Country being destroyed by Democrats, mass illegal immigration , Muslim refugees brought in by OBAMA ..and RINO Republicans ..like John McCain. He knew our Country was being led by STUPID PEOPLE,…and it HAD TO BE STOPPED. Trump is a PATRIOT …and you can believe that his interest is PUTTING AMERICA FIRST.
Raja says
Sons of Liberty,
Agreed 100 per cent. Trump was passionate about what was wrong with the system, even way back in 1973. He expressed his displeasure about the state of affairs in US then (1973) to a magazine.
His intentions and even his vision might be good for US and the world.All depends on how he drains the swamp.
Mark Swan says
Yes Sons of Liberty and Raja, I absolutely agree.
Baucent says
“Rich Higgins, a top official of the National Security Council was fired last month after arguing in a memo that President Trump is under sustained attack from subversive forces both within and outside the government who are deploying Maoist tactics to defeat President Trump’s nationalist agenda”
Higgin’s mistake was to put this in writing. That gave McMaster a reason to fire him.
Raja says
Why is that no action (legal or civilian) can be taken against those who deliberately lie about Islam -that (all violence) has nothing to do with Islam? These apologists of Islam are hand in gloves with all stealth Jihadists who glorify jihadists whether living or dead?
Raja says
Sorry to see your president having to face “all music” cemented by evil Obama.
Mark Swan says
He should be able to bust through it Raja, look at the barrage of established swells
that counted him out while running for the Presidency—he will try to bust through it.
