The Unsung White House Official Who Warned President Trump in 2017 that the Deep State Was Trying to Prematurely End his Presidency
American Thinker ^ | 13 Mar, 2022 | John Dale Dunn

Posted on 03/13/2022 4:35:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

No President of The United States ever before faced anything comparable to the organized effort of officials within his administration to sabotage Donald J. Trump’s presidency and drive him from office. The Memo by Rich Higgins [216 pp, Kindle 9.99 Hard Copy 22.34 ISBN‎-0999705938‎ Washington D.C. Calamo Press 2020] is a first and only book by an American soldier and patriot who exposes the deep state and the anti-Trump coup activities.

Rich Higgins earned his early reputation as an ordnance (explosives) expert in Iraq during and after the War for Iraqi Freedom of 2002 and 2003. Higgins went from being an ordnance man to becoming an expert on insurgency warfare, since explosives were the favored weapons of insurgents. They are usually outgunned and out manned so they retreat to asymmetric (guerilla) warfare heavily dependent on hit and run and explosives, which demoralize and disrupt the efforts of the larger force.

SNIP

After serving in the National Security Council in the Trump administration for a less than 3 months Mr. Higgins assessed the situation as dire for the Trump policies and the Trump administration, with a chance of a coup and he wrote this MEMO that nailed down the dangers for Trump and those who wanted him to succeed,

Remember, this memo was written within 3 months of Trump assuming office in late January of 2017 -- Rich Higgins was a very alert and perceptive man. I can say with confidence -- he was smart about the deep state and other threats.

Mr. Higgins died recently after complicated surgery.

The Rich Higgins Memo

This memo was clearly the reason Mr. Higgins was dismissed from the National Security Council by the National Security Advisor, deep state actor and enemy of President Trump, General H. R. McMaster. I have annotated text for emphasis and inserted ellipses for materials removed in the interests of space—the 5500 word memo is linked.

POTUS & POLITICAL WARFARE Rich Higgins May 2017

BACKGROUND.

The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then de legitimize and ultimately remove the President…. If action is not taken to re-scope and respond to these hostile campaigns very soon, the administration risks implosion and subsequent early departure from the White House.

This is not politics as usual but rather political warfare at an unprecedented level… the hard left is aligned with lslamist organizations at local (ANTIFA working with Muslim Brotherhood doing business as MSA and CAIR), national (ACLU and BLM working with CAIR and MPAC) and international levels (OIC working with OSCE and the UN)…. [T]hey seamlessly interoperate at the narrative level as well. In candidate Trump, the opposition saw a threat to the “politically correct” enforcement narratives they’ve meticulously laid in over the past few decades…. [T]hey see a latent threat to continue that effort to ruinous effect and their retaliatory response reflects this fear.

INTRODUCTION.

“The establishment and their media enablers will control over this nation through means that are very well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe, and morally deformed.” – President Trump, Oct 2016….

Recognizing in candidate Trump an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes…. For this cabal, Trump must be destroyed…. [T]his raises clear Title 18 (legal) concerns.

Responding to relentless personal assaults on his character, candidate Trump identified the players and the strategy:

“The establishment and their media enablers will control over this nation through means that are very well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe, and morally deformed.” – President Trump, Oct 2016 . . .

Candidate Trump’s rhetoric in the campaign not only cut through the Marxist narrative, he did so in ways that were viscerally comprehensible to a voting bloc that then made candidate Trump the president; making that bloc self-aware in the process. President Trump is either the candidate he ran as, or he is nothing.

Recognizing in candidate Trump an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes…. For this cabal, Trump must be destroyed….

DISCUSSION.

… [O]pposition to President Trump manifests itself through political warfare memes centered on cultural Marxist narratives…. [S]ome benefit from it while others are captured by it; including “deep state” actors, globalists, bankers, lslamists, and establishment Republicans. Through the campaign, candidate Trump tapped into a deep vein of concern among many citizens that America is at risk and is slipping away. Globalists and lslamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as a national and political identity, must be destroyed….

Mainstream Media … implementing narratives.

The Academy… principal counter-state…. The Deep State -- The successful outcome of cultural Marxism is a bureaucratic state beholden to no one, certainly not the American people….

Global Corporatists & Bankers -- Exploitation of populations, unfettered….

Democratic Leadership…. [C]ounter-state enabler… facilitates the deep state.

Republican Leadership -- More afraid of being accused of being called a racist, sexist, homophobe or Islamophobe… accepts and enforces cultural Marxist memes… Candidate Trump’s success remains an ongoing existential threat to establishment Republicans.

lslamists -- Islamists ally with cultural Marxist [sic] because, as far back as the 1980s, they properly assessed that the hard left has a strong chance of reducing Western civilization to its benefit... “By their own hands!” has been the declared strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood since 1991….

Complicating the current situation, many close to the president have pushed him off his message when he was candidate Trump thus alienating him from his base thereby isolating him in the process. When President Trump is not candidate Trump, he becomes dangerously exposed….

Political Warfare Attacks: A Primer -- As used here, “political warfare” refers to political warfare as understood by the Maoist Insurgency model. Political warfare is one of the five components of a Maoist insurgency. Maoist methodologies employ synchronized violent and non-violent actions that focus on mobilization of individuals and groups to action…. Political warfare is warfare….

Cultural Marxism: A Primer -- attacks on President Trump… [O]perate in a battle-space prepared, informed and conditioned by cultural Marxist drivers…. [P]olitical warfare assault on President Trump cannot be separated from the cultural Marxist narratives that drive them….

. . . C]ultural Marxism relates to programs and activities that arise out of Gramsci Marxism, Fabian Socialism and most directly from the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt strategy deconstructs societies through attacks on culture by imposing a dialectic that forces unresolvable contradictions under the rubric of critical theory. The result is induced nihilism, a belief in everything that is actually the belief in nothing….

Marcuse defined tolerance as intolerance… the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed.”

• . . . This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop. . .

Battlespace…. While there is certainly a Marxist agenda and even lslamist motivations that must be seriously addressed in their own right, these motivations alone seem inadequate to explain the scope and magnitude of the effort directed against the president…. The overall objective of these economic forces is the forced urbanization of the populace, thereby necessitating a larger, more powerful government. In summary, this is a form of population control by certain business cartels in league with cultural Marxists/corporatists/lslamists who will leverage Islamic terrorism threats to justify the creation of a police state.

• . . .PUBLICITY. Publicity is the straightforward projection of a case that builds a picture in the audience’s mind designed to garner support…. There are two covert lines of effort: PROPAGANDA and INFILTRATION/SUBVERSION.

The Meta Narrative -- Meta narratives seeks to delegitimize President Trump, his administration, and the vision of America he projected as a candidate…. “President Trump is illegitimate” • “President Trump is corrupt” • “President Trump is dishonest”

Supporting Narratives -- . . .

• “Russia hacked the election” -- illegitimate • “Obstruction of Justice” -- corrupt • “Hiding Collusion” -- dishonest • “Putin Puppet” -- treasonous

. . . .

End State -- Attacks on President Trump are not just about destroying him, but also about destroying the vision of America that lead to his election…. [B]ut also a demoralized movement composed of a large enough bloc to elect a president that subsequently become self-aware of its own disenfranchisement.

CONCLUSION

The recent turn of events give rise to the observation that the defense of President Trump is the defense of America….

Globalists and lslamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as a national and political identity, must be destroyed. Atomization of society must also occur at the individual level; with attacks directed against all levels of group and personal identity. Hence the sexism, racism and xenophobia memes…. “Transgender acceptance” memes attack at the most basic level by denying a person the right to declare the biological fact of one’s sex. When a population has 2 + 2 = 5 imposed on it, there are many that benefit:

The president can either drive or be driven by events; it’s time for him to drive.

Since the standards for acceptable behavior have clearly changed, why are we not fighting BRANDON like this?

Because the Republicans don't realize it is a war.

So true and they continue.

POTUS, like Congress, is elected ceremonial (puppet actor) position. As long as the puppet actor stays within the script boundaries, the opposition and undermining is low-key. In Brandon's case, the power structure has complete discretion and freedom. There is no opposition, he says what they ask him to say. His "experts" are in control.

The government is in a condition of revolution against the people - or something that passes for government. Who really controls is complicated, but NGOs, government agencies, lobbyists, and at the top, global money interests (including organized crime and kickbacks to the so-called "law enforcers") are where the power really lies.

Great book and a must read to understand the corruption in DC that transcends any administration that is elected to office. President Trump’s first term was completely unprepared for the level of sabotage and disloyalty that he would face from the administrative state. Let’s hope they have a list of replacements ready for his next term and fire everyone from the top down in 2024.

Horrifying, yet when one effectively connects the dots, like Hero Higgens did well before most, things are crystal clear.

This from a 17 Aug 2021 Article from “Shift Frequency” blog.

Rogers discovered that American citizens were being spied upon and drew attention to the abuse of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by the Obama administration. According to former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova, Section 702 allows the government to essentially weaponize the NSA’s ability to collect data and surveil private U.S. citizens.

Used as intended, it has been a useful law enforcement tool. Abused as it had been by Obama administration officials up until Rogers’ discovery in 2014, it became a weapon. DiGenova said, “For more than four years before the election of Donald Trump, there was an illegal spying operation going on by FBI [private] contractors — four of them — to steal personal information, electronic information about Americans and to use it against the Republican Party.”

And that is why you see Republican legislatures voting Dimocrat! Because the current administration still have dirt on enough of them for blackmail.

“And that is why you see Republican legislatures voting Dimocrat! Because the current administration still have dirt on enough of them for blackmail.”

It’s like showing the Queen of Diamonds to the Manchurian Candidate. They only show the card when it is a really critical vote, one that will embed some socialist garbage for a long time.

Bingo!

It should now be obvious to the voters it was those "experts" that placed Obama and then Biden in the Oval Office. They chose those two rather than Hillary.

Have long argued it was folly to think only in terms of replacing Obama, and now Biden. Trump has no doubt learned that lesson. He will face two enormous battles, of course, a potentially corrupted race for the Oval Office and then survival in office.
