Say goodbye to the Obama regime appointees and virtually all of the McMaster appointees. John Bolton has plans to clean house of all the globalists, leftists, and Islamofascist-friendly forces, including the highest level of bureaucracy. It’s become clear that McMaster has been one of the main conduits for strategic leaks to the mainstream media – in an effort to undermine Trump’s foreign policy goals.

(I think the reason McMaster was chosen is because of Trump’s deep respect and admiration for the military. McMaster turned out to be a traitor. That’s why he is gone.)

Daily Caller Sources told Foreign Policy that Bolton’s planned purge will start with Obama administration holdovers and eventually broaden to include leakers and those disloyal to the president. “Bolton can and will clean house,” a former White House official told Foreign Policy.

Another official issued a warning to former Obama officials — “Everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their shit.”

But the purge reportedly won’t stop with former Obama appointees. A source told Foreign Policy that Bolton intends to “remove almost all the political [appointees] McMaster brought in.”

Trump and Bolton see eye to eye on a more hawkish foreign policy, especially when it comes to North Korea and Iran, and are equally averse to multilateral diplomacy, whether that means the U.N. or working with the European Union. That has veterans of the Trump administration predicting that Bolton will quickly seek to install his own team at the National Security Council (NSC), which functions as a clearing house for policy advice and is supposed to integrate the different perspectives of U.S. government agencies.”

Daily Caller A report on Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s national security advisor, supports a former National Security Council (NSC) staff member’s contention that a multi-front attack is being waged against President Trump. In fact, the report suggests the attack is coming in part from McMaster himself.

Earlier this year, Rich Higgins, then-director for strategic planning at the NSC, penned a brilliant memo describing the all-out assault against President Trump and his national security agenda, and making recommendations for countering and defeating it.

Higgins, a former Defense Department official in both the Combatting Terrorism and Technical Support Office and Irregular Warfare Section and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict, argued in the memo that narratives pushed by globalists, the Left and Islamists are “entrenched at the upper levels of the bureaucracies.”

According to one report on the incident, “Higgins’s bosses at the NSC were not pleased with the memo, sources say, the creation of which was not part of Higgins’s job.”

The entrenched upper levels of McMaster’s National Security Council (NSC) bureaucracies were not amused. Higgins was dragged into the White House counsel’s office to discuss the memo. On July 21, 2017, he was fired by McMaster’s deputy.

How would these sources explain why a strategic plan to counter forces working against the President’s national security agenda is not part of the job of a President’s National Security Council director of strategic planning? Perhaps because the sources are among the forces working against the President’s national security agenda.

Specifically, a former NSC senior official told The Daily Caller:

Everything the president wants to do, McMaster opposes. Trump wants to get us out of Afghanistan—McMaster wants to go in. Trump wants to get us out of Syria—McMaster wants to go in. Trump wants to deal with the China issue—McMaster doesn’t. Trump wants to deal with the Islam issue—McMaster doesn’t. You know, across the board, we want to get rid of the Iran deal—McMaster doesn’t. It is incredible to watch it happening right in front of your face. Absolutely stunning.

Likewise, the report names Dina Habib-Powell, hired by McMaster, “someone without any background in national security” who according to Politico “has strong relationships with senior Democrats including outgoing Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett” and who “has been called Huma Abedin’s ’Republican doppelganger.’”

In fact, McMaster had written a letter to Susan Rice in April, promising her continued access to classified information, and retroactively attempting to negate any crimes she committed up to that point, by waiving certain requirements on her previous clearance.

Finally, the report flags Linda Weissgold, whom McMaster tried to hire but whom President Trump personally overruled , and who “authored the Obama administration’s infamous Benghazi “talking points”—which falsely blamed a video for triggering the Benghazi attacks, instead of blaming radical Islamist terrorist groups responsible for them.”

More generally, the report quotes Caroline Glick’s charge that McMaster “allows anti-Israel, pro-Muslim Brotherhood, pro-Iran Obama people like Robert Malley to walk around the NSC and tell people what to do and think.

The Trump staffers fired by McMaster had repeatedly clashed with career government staffers and holdovers from the Obama administration on issues as diverse as military strategies for Syria and Afghanistan, whether to tear up Obama’s landmark Iran deal, the controversial détente with Cuba, the U.S. role in confronting Islamic radicalism, and the Paris Climate Accord.

Predictably given these personnel choices, the report found that Gen. McMaster’s own “ideology is antagonistic to the President’s policies.”

For instance, the report says, McMaster not only “aggressively urged maintaining” the Iran Deal that President Trump pledged to “rip up” and called “the worst deal ever negotiated,” but pushed for its recertification, and even “refuses to publish the side deals Obama signed with the Iranians and then hid from the public.”

McMaster has instructed his staff to avoid using the phrase ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’ and tried to remove it from the president’s recent speech in Warsaw, Poland (Trump put it back in). According to a recent rumor, the NSC declined to schedule a talk on radical Islamic terrorism by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, one of the country’s most respected authorities, reportedly because one of McMaster’s appointees, Mustafa Javed Ali, accused [the former Muslim] of ‘Islamophobia.”

Moreover, according to a piece cited by ZOA, McMaster “expressed great reluctance to work with Israel on counterterror efforts, as he shut down a joint U.S.-Israel project to counter the terrorist group Hezbollah’s efforts to expand Iran’s worldwide influence.” McMaster routinely refers to Israel as the “occupying power” and insists that Palestine was a nation destroyed by the Jews, during the foundation of modern day Israel.

McMaster likewise was of the view that Israel’s “reasonable security measures” taken after jihadi Temple Mount violence were “just another excuse by the Israelis to repress the Arabs,” a senior defense official told Conservative Review.
