Derek Harvey was the key figure when it came to the Middle East. He was against the Iran Deal and the funding of Palestinian Authority terror. He called out Islamic Jihad. He tried to force out the Obama holdovers running our foreign policy.
And now he's gone.
McMaster's purge at the NSC continues. Flynn's people get forced out and replaced with establishment zombies. The Obama holdovers continue to run foreign policy. The swamp is now in full control of the NSC.
This one is a really big win for McMaster. And a great loss for America. It will set back our ability to fight Islamic terrorism. Iran, Al Qaeda and the Palestinian Authority are celebrating today.
President Trump can reverse his decision. Just as he overruled McMaster's bid to replace Ezra Watnick-Cohen, the guy who outed the Obama spying on Trump's people, with the woman who drafted the Benghazi talking points. Not to mention Mattis' plan to bring in Hillary's Secretary of Defense and the Muslim Broptherhood's favorite woman.
But Mattis and McMaster have forced out Derek Harvey. And it's up to President Trump to act. Or to let the McMaster-Mattis swamp control his foreign policy. And make sure it's Jeb Bush's foreign policy.
Derek Harvey, a top Middle East adviser to President Donald Trump, has been fired from his position at the National Security Council, effective today...
Two sources tell TWS that Harveys departure is not a direct result of the internecine staff fighting, but he was viewed by some top Trump aides as too close to Steve Bannon

Yeah...I never did understand that pick....
I am really having a hard time keeping up.
Who planted him?
I have lived through a lot of presidents and have never seen anything like this. Doesn’t instill a lot of confidence.
What do the leakers gain? What is their motivation?
1. Communicating w FBI part of his job.
2. Just a couple of years ago McM was hailed here.
3. THERE ARE JUST AS MANY TURF BUILDERS ON “OUR” SIDE as theirs, and I’m highly suspicious of reports like this. Remember “Bannon is gone” stories? Cernovich in particular seems to have favorites & srories like this are leaked to Greenfield who spruces them up for more respectable publications.
I love Mattis & he & McM have a ztrat that in six months has nearly destroyed ISIS. Read Thomas Wictor on Twitter who has followed this.
In short, don”t even believe a lot of “our” fake news.
Nonsense.
Mooch does give one “Pause”.
What do the leakers gain? What is their motivation?

It is the ongoing subversion of America, the left over useful idiots of the latest effort to bring down America. They (Globalists) thought they had us bagged this time with the insertion of Obozo, with planned followup by Hitlery. Now, they are really, really pissed that a half century overthrow effort has been trashed. There are no words to describe their anger.
Trump appointed all these sleezy Obama generals to his administration and he cant seem to understand why it isnt working.
McMaster was appointed after the Dems and RINOs ruined Flynn. I think McMaster was a compromise to the GOP made on the fly, and a bad compromise at that.

That’s Pribus ‘s job to bring qualified candidates to President’s desk for consideration.
Yeah, me neither.
But who is “they”? Some unknown shadowy figures? The Bilderberg people? Who?
I agree about McMasters. However, Trump’s most trusted advisors are his daughter and son-in-law who are total liberals. As long as they are his trusted advisors, we will continue to see globalists like McMasters be hired. I can see issues coming up between Gen Kelly and those two and if that happens, Kelly will be the one leaving.
Tom Bethell and Joe Sobran came up with the metaphor of ‘The Hive’ to describe the group dynamics of the Left. I think it applies equally well to what is going on with the Deep State:
“The Hive was not, and is not, a conspiracy; its more a pattern. Naive anti-Communists, seeing the pattern, have mistaken it for a conspiracy. The Bees, on the other hand, have made their own mistake. Knowing that they arent parties to a conspiracy, they fail to see the evident pattern of their collective behavior. By sheer, insectlike instinct, they obey not the dictates of a foreign power, but the internal logic of their own nature, their yearning for a secularist and socialist political order.”

“Readers who go way back may recall an earlier column [American Spectator, Capitol Ideas, circa 1981] in which the beehive was used as a metaphor for the world socialist enterprise the community of progressives. The Hive image, first proposed by the writer Joseph Sobran, illustrated the key point that liberals and Communists, seemingly distinct, belong to the same Hive. They share the same goals, even if they perform different tasks. The metaphor allows us to speak of their activities as coordinated without having to invoke a conspiracy. “

Thanks for the heads-up....I thought I was having a problem with my computer or internet server.
Just makes me realize, once again, how much I depend on FR for news and intelligent discourse!

I’ll bet not one of these posters calling for his head know the first thing about McMasters before he was appointed to this last job. They haven’t read his book, probably don’t know it exists. Haven’t seen one of the dozens of Youtubes that would give them an idea of who he is. So he gets dismissed as an ‘Obama general’.

Have no idea. Maybe Garrison can explain.
Trump could take control of most everything by appointing special assistants with the power of Obama’s Czars ... Then put an Executive Directive that a particular Czar has authority to oversea all functional departments given him/her... Then over a month or two - stop sending anything of importance to the suspect disloyal staff or those who just can’t cut it... Cut out authority to make decisions by making it necessary to have a Czar signing off. Six Trusted Trump Czars could make a world of difference in two months...
