McMaster's NSC Coup Against Trump Purges Critics Of Islam and Obama
Frontpage Mag ^ | Aug. 4,2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Derek Harvey was a man who saw things coming. He had warned of Al Qaeda when most chose to ignore it. He had seen the Sunni insurgency rising when most chose to deny it.

The former Army colonel had made his reputation by learning the lay of the land. In Iraq that meant sleeping on mud floors and digging into documents to figure out where the threat was coming from.

It was hard to imagine anyone better qualified to serve as President Trump’s top Middle East adviser at the National Security Council than a man who had been on the ground in Iraq and who had seen it all.

Just like in Iraq, Harvey began digging at the NSC. He came up with a list of Obama holdovers who were leaking to the press. McMaster, the new head of the NSC, refused to fire any of them.

Until proven otherwise, we have to assume that McMaster is a treasonous Islamist.

A denizen of The Swamp.

A #NeverTrumper.

And totally oblivious to common law and the will of the peeps.

May he rot in Gitmo’

IIRC McMaster was gungho for the disastrous Iranian deal.
How can such a treasonous moron be serving as President Trump’s NSA, delivering him daily briefings and offering direction on critical foreign/military policy???

Before this article came out I had an opinion on McMasters and I posted it on an earlier FR thread.
It is appropriate to this thread and I repeat myself here;

Before Trump was elected, I formed a detrimental opinion of Mc Masters, as I felt his attitude toward Islam was; don't critisize Islam and show your prejudice and bigotry.
Mc Masters backed that up by silencing people under his command who did just that.

McMaster is another John Brennan, an Islam sympathizer and should not be in the Trump administration. - Tom

It’s a damned shame what happened with Mike Flynn.
He had the right philosophy and knew what should be done.
Loved when he came out during one of the White House press briefings and officially “put Iran on notice!!!”

If Kushner is an enemy of McMaster, how can this guy still be around? It looks like McMaster and Chief of Staff Kelly are pals too. The swamp level is rising, not falling. Is Trump not able to see long knives waiting on him from enemies smiling and acting like his friends?

McMaster was a General who thrived under Obama. Nothing more need be said.

Enough already with the silly McMaster palace intrigue. Nobody knows what’s going on except Trump and he is quite fine with him for now. Wasn’t Bannon on his way out ages ago. Still there.

All of the top counter-jihad activists are very concerned about him. These are top people on the Islamic issue.

He did real well over in Afghanistan. Opium production really took off when McMaster was there. 90% of the worlds heroin supply now comes from Afghanistan’s poppy fields. If I didn’t know better, I would say that our government is only there to protect those fields.

Yep, this McMaster character needs to go, I don’t care if he’s fired or shipped off to some dark sand pit somewhere out of mind and out of sight; just as long as goes.

Then let’s get those good people back he just fired. MAGA

Trump gets a D at hiring skills.

Why did he not vet these losers for loyalty??

Major waste of time & money.

The trouble with the media is trying to separate the BS from the truth and I suppose that is the intent of the anti-Trump media. However, I am seeing more credible information on McMaster and his opposition to President Trump’s agenda and apparent subversion of that agenda. I cannot believe his fellow military Generals have not blown the whistle on him or that President Trump doesn’t see what’s going on. Either the latest reports on his activities are wrong or McMaster his friends in HIGH places giving him cover and a promise of a rich retirement. It is NOT in the military man’s DNA to defy their CINC.

Freepers are getting played by a cabal that is pissed because McMaster booted their pals off of his staff. You can see this in the timing and content of their campaign. My guess is that they were leaking to their friends and got caught.

Trump repeated his support for McMaster just yesterday. But of course you can’t trust the Prez’s judgement just because he actually knows what McM is doing for him. Much better to believe all the rumors.

Damning article. I told you all I was concerned as soon as I read he wouldn’t say “radical Islamic terrorism.” Trump should have picked Lt. Col. Tony Shaeffer - the guy who is on Lou Dobbs all the time.

I agree Sam. I have no trust in McMaster because of his current clearing out of the Trump administration of all the political realists and their distrust of Islam, anti-progressives and the enemies of globalization.
