Memo argues deep state attacked Trump admin because POTUS represents threat to cultural marxism

[lalaland]

Fired White House staffer argued deep state attacked Trump administration because the president represents a threat to cultural Marxist memes, globalists, and bankers.

The memo at the heart of the latest blowup at the National Security Council paints a dark picture of media, academics, the deep state, and other enemies working to subvert U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a copy of the document obtained by Foreign Policy.

The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president’s desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out.

Trump is being attacked, the memo says, because he represents “an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative.” Those threatened by Trump include "deep state actors, globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans.”

I suppose the reason this thread hasn't gotten much traction would be this:

People need evidence that the Deep state is trying to undermine Trump, about as much as people need evidence that water is wet.

This is self-evidently true.

Yeah it's pretty obvious.

I mean, if its not that, CNN has wasted a ton, I mean a ton, of airtime. If.they weren't pushing an agenda against Trump, then... I don't even know lol

The story this article paints for those who actually read it is that there is a suspicion due to the existence of this memo that this man, Rich Higgins, was likely himself a leaker to a right-wing blogger named Mike Cernovich due to Higgins's conspiratorial assumptions, which extend to the apparent, implied belief that H.R. McMaster works in service of that agenda by hunting down those who oppose it by means including leaks to Cernovich. Now the very people who have been howling the loudest about leaks are calling the search for leakers a "witch hunt":

The controversy over the memo has its origins in a hunt for staffers believed to be providing information to right-wing blogger Mike Cernovich, who seemed to have uncanny insight into the inner workings of the NSC. Cernovich in the past few months has been conducting a wide-ranging campaign against the national security advisor...

In July, the memo was discovered in Higgins’s email during what two sources described to Foreign Policy as a “routine security” audit of NSC staffers’ communications. Another source, however, characterized it as a McCarthy-type leak investigation targeting staffers suspected of communicating with Cernovich....

After the memo was discovered, McMaster’s deputy, Ricky Waddell, summoned Higgins, who was told he could resign — or be fired, and risk losing his security clearance, according to two sources.

Higgins, who agreed to resign, was escorted out of the building. He later learned from his colleagues still at the NSC that his association to this now-infamous memo was the reason he was removed.

Following Higgins’s departure, McMaster set out to clean house, a source close the White House said — getting rid of NSC staffers linked to the memo, perceived as loyal to his predecessor, Michael Flynn, or simply those with whom he’d butted heads over foreign policy. Among those fired was Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the NSC’s top intelligence official, and Derek Harvey, who handled the NSC’s Middle East portfolio.

Of course, Trump learned about what was going on inside his own White House from Sean Hannity:

In the meantime, however, the memo had been working its way through the Trump White House. Among those who received the memo, according to two sources, was Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Jr., at that time in the glare of media scrutiny around his meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower during the presidential campaign, gave the memo to his father, who gushed over it, according to sources.

In a comedy of errors, Trump later learned from Sean Hannity, the Fox News host and close friend of the president, that the memo’s author had been fired. Trump was “furious,” the senior administration official said. “He is still furious.”

The memo lays out what it described as a concerted campaign to undermine the president.

Most of those targeted were Flynn loyalists, and one can only accept that Flynn was rejected by the "deep state" if one overlooks the fact he was violating campaign bylaws by meeting with Russian officials, lying about it, and covering it up. It probably had nothing to do with all that. Additionally, the Flynn loyalist clique had become a running joke among the rest of the NSC officials:

The memo’s repeated references to the Muslim Brotherhood — which is grouped among “key international players that includes the European Union and the United Nations — surprised few inside the NSC familiar with what had been a Flynn obsession. “Oh look, it’s the newest member of the Muslim Brotherhood,” was a common joke among those critical of Flynn loyalists, and what they regarded as a conspiracy theory, a source close to the NSC said...

Flynn is now under investigation for, among other things, failing to report income for lobbying on behalf of Turkey shortly before he became involved in the campaign.

So is it "deep state" activity only if other people are doing it-- like Democrats or the Clintons?

You right wingers LOVE to scream about personal responsibility but never require it from Trump.

The president of the US appears to have various financial and other connections to people who are agents of the Russian government. And he and his family/cabinet have lied about this at every single step of the investigation. This is indisputable. Now, you may argue that these connections are not so damaging/important that he should be impeached. Or maybe you believe that the positive benefits of greater "cooperation" with Russia outweigh whatever crimes may have been committed in furtherance of that goal. Those are separate questions. Trump continues to lie and it's going to come out one way or another.

I always thought this conspiracy shit was about bankers, and men like them, running the world. Yet Trump surrounds himself with bankers and wall street people, and you guys are complaining about a deep state conspiracy, whatever the fuck that means.

 

[CargoKing]

The deep state is going after Trump because he's a threat to memes?

Did I really just read that?

What in the utter fuck would someone read in the communist manifesto that would make them think this nonstory is true? For fuck's sake, it's a 150 year old rallying cry to industrial workers with very little actual policy detail and next to no commentary on, let alone a manuscript for establishing, deep bureaucracy.

By the way, it's not very long, so you should read it, since I am fairly confident that you have not.

Shit, man, you seriously think a bunch of old rich white guys who grew up in the Cold War are running some secret Marxist show behind it all.

 

[Rockapotomuss]

The deep state conspiracy is as believable as the Russian election hack controls wikileaks etc conspiracy. No evidence for either. All speculation that fits a narrative to explain events as they unfold.

He is a threat because he is a goddamn meme machine.

Well you goof you could have talked about rules for radicals, a book that influenced Hillary and Obama. But you're a defender of mass murders so I don't expect honesty from you.

I like the part in the Manifesto where Engels just fucking unloads on Trump for his tweets.
