McMaster and the Deep State: Protecting Obama Agendas in a Trump Administration
The Tribune Papers ^ | August 18, 2017 | Mike Scruggs

Posted on 08/19/2017 5:07:37 PM PDT by yoe

Twenty-five centuries ago, Chinese General Sun Tzu summarized an important principle of war: Knowing your enemy is essential to both avoiding defeat and achieving victory. Knowing the ideology of those who want to destroy you is absolutely essential to internal security, sound foreign policy, and military preparedness. Freedom, peace, and prosperity depend upon accurate knowledge, right interpretation, and right actions.

The greatest threat to the United States and its Western allies today is the prevalent establishment Big Lie that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance that poses no danger to millions of lives, spiritual and intellectual truth, and freedom itself. Yes, there are many Muslims whose practice of Islam is secularized, modified by syncretism, or purely cultural who do not follow the Jihadic teachings of the Koran and Muhammad, but Jihad (war, deception, and conquest) for the sake of Allah against all non-believers is a foundational doctrine of Islam found abundantly in the Koran and even more so in the Sunna, the sayings and actions of its principal prophet, Muhammad. Although we frequently refer to this strong Jihadic content of the Koran and Sunna as “Radical Islam” for the sake of diplomacy, commerce, and individual courtesy, “Radical Islam” is fundamentalist Islam, the true Islam

President Trump appears to have at least a strong gut-feel for the truth and recognizes the threat of “Radical Islam” to both internal and external national security.

cont..... Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, turned out to have an undisclosed and disqualifying conflict of interest because of his intelligence consulting business relationship to Turkey, according to his excellent 2016 book, Field of Fight, Flynn had an informed and realistic view of Islam. His plan for victory was not only to defeat ISIS and other Jihadist armies but also to render the victories more permanent by destroying the credibility of Islam’s entrenched doctrinal ideology of Jihad. This was in total conflict with Obama’s fantasy doctrine that Islam was a religion of peace, hijacked by a few radicals. Obama’s disastrous foreign policy seemed more compatible to the Muslim Brotherhood’s plans to replace secularist Muslim leaders in the Middle East with fanatical Muslim Brotherhood Jihadists, beginning with the so-called “Arab Spring.” The first casualty of joint Obama-Muslim Brotherhood cooperation was long-time U.S. ally, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, soon to be replaced by the head of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Morsi. Morsi was fortunately forced out by the Egyptian Army before doing too much damage. We also saw the consequences of Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood friendship in Libya, and the whole Syrian War is really about the Brotherhood’s attempt to oust a Christian-tolerant Muslim moderate, Assad Bashar, from power. Obama and Hillary Clinton even managed to ship arms to al-Qaeda and ISIS to defeat Assad. How much of that went to slaughter Syrian Christians?

Deep State sympathizers with fantasy Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the huge multi-billion petro-dollar grants and influence of Saudi Arabia and Qatar saw Flynn as a serious threat to the their ideology, influence, and especially Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran. Flynn’s departure as National Security Advisor was an especially sweet victory for the Deep State establishment with the appointment of Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster—a faithful proponent of Barack Obama’s multiculturalist counterfactual view of Islam—to National Security Advisor and head of the National Security Council (NSC). McMaster’s position on Islam can scarcely be distinguished from that of Obama. He has also been a strong defender of Obama’s foreign policy in general but especially Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran, which has been strongly opposed by Trump and conservative cabinet advisers. According to a recent article by Jed Babbin in the American Spectator, it was Senator John McCain and Gen. David Petraeus who recommended McMaster as National Security Advisor.

In the last two weeks, McMaster has stepped up his purge of opponents of Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran on the NSC staff, including Derek Harvey, Rich Higgins, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick. Besides opposing the Iran nuclear deal, these three held dissenting views on Islam as a religion of peace and were strong advocates of a crackdown on leaks within the national intelligence agencies. According to Bloomberg, Derek Harvey had compiled a list of Obama holdovers on the NSC staff, who were suspected of making leaks to damage Trump in the media. On the other hand, McMaster has defended and retained top subordinates to former NSA Susan Rice and her almost as notorious spin master, Deputy NSA Ben Rhodes, and even let Rice and Rhodes retain their Top Secret security clearances. Rhodes was a key operator in selling the Iran nuclear agreement and the demonization of Flynn in the media. According to Babbin, there are about 50 Obama holdovers who need to be cleared out but are being retained by McMaster. Lt. Gen. McMaster received his last two stars from Barack Obama.

All General officers of the US armed forces who have been promoted from colonel to one star general or higher have “gotten their stars from Obama.” Thus are you implying that all of them should be stripped of all promotions received since noon, 20 Jan 2009? In fact, if one works downward, are you rejecting all promotions for all members of the military since 20 Jan 2009? Remember that enlisted and officers take an oath to the constitution of the United States, NOT to the person of the president.

Let’s not be silly, we’re not saying McMaster needs to go because of who issued his stars and you know it. We want him gone because he is a Rat mole an Obongo hack. His treachery is the reason we are still in the Iran deal.

Didn’t Trump say some decisions were made on Afghanistan at Camp David? Maybe that is where McMaster is headed. There, he can pillow talk with Obama all he wants.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
