Europe
is no longer Europe, it is Eurabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic
invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in a mental
and cultural sense. There are moments in Life when keeping silent becomes
a fault, and speaking an obligation. A civic duty, a moral challenge,
a categorical imperative from which we cannot escape. —Journalist
Oriana Fallaci
The
wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world.
—Mahmoud Ahmadinejah, President of Iran
The
very title of this article should worry all of us. The newly appointed
National Security Adviser thinks the term, “radical Islamic terrorism”
is not beneficial because terrorists are “un-Islamic.”
Peter
R. Mansoor, a retired Army colonel who served with McMaster in Iraq during
the 2007 surge of U.S. troops, said earlier that McMaster “absolutely
does not view Islam as the enemy. So, I think he will present a degree
of pushback against the theories being propounded in the White House that
this is a clash of civilizations and needs to be treated as such.”
“McMaster,
like (President) Obama, is someone who was in positions of leadership
and thought the United states should not play into the jihadist propaganda
that this is a religious war,” William McCants, a senior fellow
at the Brookings Institution, told The Times. [Link],

President
Trump repeatedly slammed President Obama and Democratic rival Hillary
Clinton for avoiding explicitly saying "radical Islamic terrorism."
Trump argued that not identifying enemies hinders the fight against terror,
while Democrats argue that such words unfairly link Islam with terrorism.
Trump
was right, and so was General Flynn. So, who vetted McMaster, and who
is advising our President, and it’s even more worrisome that Senator
McCain is thrilled with Trump’s latest choice.
McCain
Lauds McMaster for NSA
When
Trump selected General H.R. McMaster to be his National Security Advisor,
most folks breathed a sigh of relief that CFR member, John Bolton wasn’t
chosen, but that relief may have been premature.
General
McMaster, like his supporters, Senator McCain, and Moscow born, Max
Boot, the Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security
Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, are all members
of the CFR.
Sen.
McCain, who in Munich, stated his not-so-subtle attacks on Trump for not
being harder on Russia, said that, “McMaster knows how to succeed.
I give President Trump great credit for this decision, as well as his
national security cabinet choices. I could not imagine a better, more
capable national security team than the one we have right now.”
Max
Boot stated much the same thing, “H.R. McMaster is one of the most
impressive army officers of his generation—a rare combination of
soldier and scholar,” said Max Boot, in an email to The Daily Beast.
“But not even the most talented individual will succeed in that
job as long as Bannon and Kushner continue to run their own foreign policies.”
Apparently,
McMaster is not the man to guide President Trump toward better relations
with Russia and less US interference in the internal affairs of other
nations, as was former NSA Chief, General Michael Flynn.
In a
speech delivered
at the Center for Strategic and International Studies just last May, Gen.
McMaster blamed the lack of sufficient US military presence overseas for
what he calls a more aggressive Russian geo-strategic posturing. Take note
of what the General said:
Even though it may have been apparent, at least since 2008, that Russia was changing its geo-strategic behavior and engaging in…probing, probing at the far reaches of American power, our strategic response was to accelerate our withdrawal of…army forces from Europe. And what we’re seeing now is we’ve awakened to obviously this threat from Russia who is waging limited war for limited objectives. Annexing Crimea. Invading Ukraine. At zero cost. And consolidating gains over that territory, and portraying the reaction by us and partners as escalatory. … What is required is forward deterrence. To be able to ratchet up the cost at the frontier.
The
General also made the completely fallacious assertion that Russia invaded
Georgia in 2008. Even the overtly anti-Russia European Union concluded
that Georgia was to blame for launching an ill-advised attack on Russian
peacekeeping forces that were part of an international mission in South
Ossetia.
This
certainly doesn’t sound like someone who is going to work to help
our President improve relations with Russia. In fact, McMaster is a hawk
and is all
about conflict with Russia. Is it any wonder that the likes of Max
Boot and John McCain are thrilled with Trump’s new NSA Chief?
McCain’s
Long Feud with Trump
The
Bezos owned Washington Post reported that Trump had stated, “McCain
is no war hero,” but they misled the people by misstating what Trump
had actually said, as clarified
by Sharyl Attkisson. Nothing new here, misquotes and lies are a common
thread of media since the 1964
NYTs v. Sullivan Supreme Court decision allowing media to lie with
impunity. And this is the reality of what Trump calls, “fake news.”
Remember
too that in September of 2016, Trump endorsed John McCain for re-election
and said nice things about him.
So,
what’s with the Senator from Arizona?
The
Real John McCain
He served
our country, and we do not know what he went through as a POW, so we honor
him for his service.
However,
the truth of the matter is that despite McCain’s military service,
he has never been a man of or for the American people, and the “R”
he wears behind his name more often than not comes across as a “D.”
In fact,
last October, this alleged Republican stated that he would not be voting
for Donald Trump, the nominee from his own party! So, who did he vote
for…Hillary?
Trump
did state that McCain graduated at the bottom of his class, and he was
right. Even McCain alluded
to his academic record during a commencement speech in 1997 when he
stated, “This is quite an unexpected honor for a Naval Academy midshipman
who graduated fifth from the bottom in the Class of ’58.”
He actually graduated 790th out of 795 students.
There
are countless stories on the web of McCain’s actual service and
his actual imprisonment by the Vietcong, but there is one
by Philip Giraldi that elucidates truth. He tells of Pulitzer Prize
winning journalist Sydney Schanberg, who was intrigued by the Vietnam
POW issue, and began pursuing the McCain story in the late 1980s.
Schanberg
makes two key points: first that a number of American prisoners of war
were left behind in Indochina in 1973 with the connivance of top levels
in the U.S. government (See
Henry Kissinger, Soviet Agent), and second that John McCain has worked
assiduously to obstruct any efforts to open Pentagon files and follow
up on leads to determine the status of the POWs and the “missing
in action.”
John
McCain is still a powerful voice in the Senate consistently advocating
policies calling for the United States to use military force around the
world. More troubling perhaps, McCain has consistently and irrationally
advocated an undeviating hard line against Russia, the only country with
the military capability to confront and destroy much of the United States
through its nuclear armed ballistic missile forces. Perhaps this is why
he is so enamored with General McMaster, and why he so hated General Flynn.
McCain’s
Voting Record
Conservative
Review grants McCain an “F” with a 48
percent rating, calling out McCain for an extensive 32-year entrenchment
in Washington. CR Editor, Gaston Mooney, said, “McCain’s consistent
support for gun control, cap and trade, amnesty, and tax increases have
put him at odds with just about every coalition inside the Republican
Party. McCain pandered to the right in 2008, and he
did it again to be re-elected in 2016.
“There
are few Republicans who have betrayed our conservative principles more
than John McCain,” read the Senate Conservatives Fund letter. “McCain
lost his way a long time ago.”
The
Senator has also been criticized for his part in the “Gang of Eight”
immigration reform and his support for amnesty, his vote for the taxpayer
funded “Wall Street” bailout, his vote to fund implementation
of Obamacare and criticism of efforts to halt that funding, opposition
to a $1.3 trillion tax cut, support for a $600 billion tax hike, repeated
votes to raise the debt limit and voting against term limits.
Mincing
no words, the Senate Conservatives’ letter refers to McCain as “one
of the most anti-conservative RINOs in the Senate.”
McCain’s
Munich Conference Comments
What
kind of American is John McCain? He’s certainly not one who represents
the Constitution he took an oath to uphold.
McCain
apparently had no problem bashing our President in foreign countries recently.
Why didn’t McCain honor the tradition of standing for America in
foreign countries? He has embarrassed our nation, and himself, just as
Obama did over and over again.
Here
is the transcript of McCain’s speech in Munich. Without mentioning
President Trump even once, he ridiculed and slammed his policies, his
presidency, and his abilities. In doing so, McCain also slammed every
American who voted for Trump and wants his policies to succeed.
But
what I found the most telling was his comment, “I refuse to accept
the demise of our world order.” He actually mentioned “world
order” five times in his short Munich speech. What world order John?
The New World Order you’ve been pushing since you took office in
1987?
The
Senator even stated that VP Pence, and Generals Kelly and Mattis, all
disagree with Trump’s stances and policies and have also voiced
those opinions at the Munich Conference.
The
Senator’s latest attacks on our President are unconscionable and
absolutely bordering on sedition.
McCain
on Meet the Press
On Sunday,
during an interview with Chuck Todd, the senator again talked about the
“new world order” established after World War II, and how
he is fearful it is under assault from a variety of forces. (Does this
remind you of George
H.W. Bush’s 1991 NWO speech?)
He also
claimed to be worried about presidential advisor Steve Bannon’s
role on the National Security Council. Then he attacked Trump by saying,
“A free press is vital and suppressing a free press is “how
dictators get started.”
His
comments were ridiculous. My friend Vin Sabella said this:
First,
he claimed that the president was destroying freedom of the press. Then
he said that’s what all dictators do to gain power. Then he said
he didn’t mean that Trump was trying to be a dictator.
And,
if that’s true, Senator, why did you bring up the fact that you
thought Trump was muzzling the press and say that that is what dictators
do in the same breath? I think the answer is obvious. You wanted to
call Trump a potential dictator and be able to weasel your way out of
having done so if you were called on it.
As
Rand Paul said, McCain is deliberately blowing Trump’s criticism
of the press out of proportion. Every president has criticized the press
throughout history. But, as Paul says, there is a big difference between
criticizing the press and passing a law or issuing an executive order
to suppress the press. Trump has obviously done neither.
MSNBC’s
Mika Brzezinski, (daughter of Zbignew Brzezinski) recently made it clear
that she
believes it is the media’s job to control what people think.
Really Mika? One need only watch Chris Cuomo or Van Jones to understand
their propaganda and socialist/communist allegiances.
Bannon’s
NSC Status
The
question arises, could we lose another valuable man in the National Security
Council? Fox
News reported the following:
White
House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that if President Donald
Trump’s newly appointed national security adviser wanted to remove
chief strategist Steve Bannon from the National Security Council’s
principals committee, the president would “take that under serious
consideration.”
“The
president has made clear to him he’s got full authority to structure
the national security team the way he wants,” Spicer said of Lt.
Gen. H.R. McMaster, whom Trump appointed last Monday as his new NSA
chief. Spicer made the remarks in the daily White House press briefing.
Does
this worry me? You bet it does. Bannon is one of the most trusted insiders
and as such, he should remain exactly where he is for our President.
Conclusion
Donald
J. Trump is in new waters, and he is learning as he goes. He wants to
keep his promises to the American people. He’s the boss, and his
employees should follow his lead.
Our
President has a huge job, and he is wrestling against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Pray for him, and pray for our country.

ANOTHER TRUMP LOUSY PICK? NSA'S MCMASTER MISUNDERSTANDS ISLAM: ISLAMIC STATE USES "PERVERTED INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION"
WHO NEEDS AN IGNORANT GENERAL? NOT THE U.S.A.
NSA'S MCMASTER: ISLAMIC STATE USES
"PERVERTED INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION"

ou can see McMaster say this beginning at the four-minute mark: “We are engaged today, as General George C. Marshall’s generation was engaged, against enemies who pose a great threat to all civilized peoples. As our World War II generation defeated Nazi Fascism and Japanese imperialism, and as later generations defeated Communist totalitarianism, we will defeat today’s enemies, including terrorist organizations like Daesh, who cynically use a perverted interpretation of religion to incite hatred and justify horrific cruelty against innocents.” — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, speech to Virginia Military Institute, Center for Leadership and Excellence, November 21, 2016 In this video also, from May 2016, McMaster says this same thing. At 14:43, McMaster refers to “groups like ISIL, who use this irreligious ideology, this perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence. They depend on ignorance, and the ability to recruit vulnerable segments of populations to foment hatred, and then use that hatred to justify violence against innocents.” This could be Barack Obama or John Kerry speaking. As I explained here, this was during the Obama regime, when that was the official policy of the U.S. government, but President Trump has repeatedly criticized his predecessor (and his 2016 election opponent) for not being willing to call the problem of jihad terror by its right name. Since he has become President, he has repeatedly reiterated his determination to eradicate “radical Islamic terrorism.” If McMaster genuinely holds the view that the Islamic State is not Islamic, then he is a disastrous pick as National Security Adviser, and will continue the willful ignorance of the Obama administration, hamstringing efforts to understand, and counter effectively, the motives and goals of the enemy. _________________________________________________ SEE ALSO: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/robert-spencer-in-frontpage
