The National Security Council was totally nuts

How crazy was Michael Flynn? To get an idea of where the National Security Council might have gone with him at the helm check out the mess that McMaster had to deal with when he arrived. This was a memo that was written by old Flynn staffers. Foreign Policy got a hold of it and I'll share with you the best bits.

BACKGROUND.The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then de legitimize and ultimately remove the President. Possibly confusing these attacks with an elevated interplay of otherwise normal D.C. partisan infighting and adversarial media relations, the White House response to these campaigns reflects a political advocacy mindset that it is intensely reactive, severely under-inclusive and dangerously inadequate to the threat. If action is not taken to re-scope and respond to these hostile campaigns very soon, the administration risks implosion and subsequent early departure from the White House.

Remember this is from the NSC! Did you forget that? Remembering that is important to understand how batcrap nuts this is.

Culturally conditioned to limit responses to such attacks as yet another round in the on-going drone from diversity and multicultural malcontents, these broadsides are discounted as political correctness run amuck. However, political correctness is a weapon against reason and critical thinking. This weapon functions as the enforcement mechanism of diversity narratives that seek to implement cultural Marxism.

Did you get that? Diversity is a path to cultural Marxism. Can't have diversity. Gotta have a pure nation of white Christians. Anything else is just Cultural Marxism.

Academia has served as a principle counter-state node for some time and remains a key conduit for creating future adherents to cultural Marxist narratives and their derivative worldview. The Deep State - The successful outcome of cultural Marxism is a bureaucratic state beholden to no one, certainly not the American people . With no rule of law considerations outside those that further deep state power, the deep state truly becomes, as Hegel advocated, god bestriding the earth. Global Corporatists & Bankers - Exploitation of populations, unfettered by national protections and notions of personal morality and piety. Democratic Leadership - The democratic leadership has been a counter-state enabler that executes, sustains, and protects cultural Marxist programs of action and facilitates the relentless expansion of the deep state.

Academia, Deep State and Global Bankers... what the? Did Alex Jones co-author this?

Political Warfare Attacks -A Primer. As used here, "political warfare" does not concern activities associated with the American political process but rather exclusively refers to political warfare as understood by the Maoist Insurgency model. Political warfare is one of the five components of a Maoist insurgency. Maoist methodologies employ synchronized violent and non-violent actions that focus on mobilization of individuals and groups to action. This approach envisions the direct use of non-violent operational arts and tactics as elements of combat power. In Maoist insurgencies, the formation of a counter-state is essential to seizing state power. Functioning as a hostile competing state acting within an existing state, it has an alternate infrastructure. Political warfare operates as one of the activities of the "counter-state" and is primarily focused on the resourcing and mobilization of the counter state or the exhaustion and demobilization of the targeted political movement. Political warfare methods can be implemented at strategic, operational, or tactical levels of operation.

Maoist Insurgency? :confused: Now we are talking about a Maoist Insurgency?

Politics is involved in...just about everything in a democratic society but they decide that they want to link it to a Maoist Insurgency? Because a Maoist insurgency also involves politics?

Okay, then we get to this little bit where we learn tolerance is intolerance because it means inhibiting the old institutions that allowed intolerance. It just gets crazier and crazier.

Quote:

That post-modern (diversity/multiculturalism) narratives seeks to implement cultural Marxist objectives can be demonstrated by reference to founding Frankfurt School theorist Herbert Marcuse's repurposing of the term tolerance. In a 1965 ~ Marcuse defined tolerance as intolerance; said it can be implemented through undemocratic means to stop chauvinism (xenophobia), racism, discrimination; and should be extended to the left while denied to the right: "The realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed." "Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc."

Uh, the highlighted bit. About that...:eye-poppi

Quote:

The Meta Narrative. Meta narratives seeks to delegitimize President Trump, his administration, and the vision of America he projected as a candidate. With cultural Marxist memes serving as the backdrop, President Trump is to be relentlessly characterized as unfit through the use of supporting narratives acting to move unwitting populations to belief in the meta narrative. Hence: "President Trump is illegitimate" "President Trump is corrupt" "President Trump is dishonest"

Ummm...

"Obama was born in Kenya."
"Obama is a secret Muslim."
"Obama is a secret Islamist."
"Obama is a secret Communist."

I guess they can dish it but can't take it. Typical bully behavior.

Quote:

CONCLUSION. The recent turn of events give rise to the observation that the defense of President Trump is the defense of America. In the same way President Lincoln was surrounded by political opposition both inside and outside of his wire, in both overt and covert forms, so too is President Trump. Had Lincoln failed, so too would have the Republic. The administration has been maneuvered into a constant backpedal by relentless political warfare attacks structured to force him to assume a reactive posture that assures inadequate responses. The president can either drive or be driven by events; it's time for him to drive them.

What!?! "The defense of President Trump is the defense of America"? From people saying stuff he doesn't like?

I must reiterate this was from the NSC. The people charged with the military strategy of the USA are writing a memo about how Trump has people saying things about him.

What are we to make of this? What are we to infer when they end with the vague notion of "drive them"? Is this just euphemistic speech of the kind of "deportation" and "resettlement" by the Nazis?

Keep in mind the most prominent quote in the memo was from someone advocating for suspending democracy to make sure things don't change. I think from that we can infer that this was essentially the NSC laying the groundwork to take military action against Trump critics.
