“Higgins’ memo was dismissed as conspiratorial, and he was fired from the NSC.”
The old Soviet term was “reactionary” and “counter-revolutionary”. America’s soviets updated it to “conspiratorial” and “conspiracy theorist”.

I had Higgins on the Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten podcast to discuss the Deep State's efforts to subvert the president's agenda, whether there was an effort to purge like-minded individuals from Trump's national security and foreign policy team -- and why, what can be done to reform the administrative state, the ramifications of the politicization and weaponization of our national security and intelligence apparatus and much more. Because this is edgy important stuff... Some people figured out what was happening early - they're worth the time.

Didn't read/listen to this, but remember Higgins being fired for telling the truth.

Yup, two terms coined by the CIA.

Well, since at least one Freeper recalls this as being a for real thing I'm bumping it for later.

“Higgins’ memo was dismissed as conspiratorial, and he was fired from the NSC.”
By whom? It seems to me that whomever fired him should themselves be fired, and Higgins rehired with a very humble apology (and back pay).
THAT would be justice.

Was glad when McMasters left.

McMasters was a disaster. He had no business in that position. Pence cleared the way for him by submarining Flynn, claiming that he lied to him.
I know lots here really like him, but I’m not a big Pence fan. He’s GOPe to the bone.

...warning of the political warfare he was to face internally from the Deep State, and externally from the media and like-minded interest groups in collusion with the administrative state,... Most of which are the powerful people in the North Eastern portion of the nation.

I've never seen him as a GOPe. In fact, he's been pretty much a solid conservative....was part of forming the House Tea Party Caucus....and has worked over the years to get more conservatives into Washington.

Very good interview. I can see why this guy scares people— he sees very clearly and tells it straight. Thanks for posting.
