McMaster wants to 'cut off' funding Iran's jihadis

National Security Advisor H.R, McMaster thinks it's a good idea to stop sending money to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He thinks it makes good sense in security advice and it's hard to argue with him on that one.

McMaster, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, said it was time to "cut off funding" to the group because it has played a "central role" in Iran's becoming the world's leader in state sponsored terror.

I would have thought Obama had that figured out but I guess not. What has taken us so long? Trump should have done this on January 20, 2017.

McMaster also noted that Iran's main civilian airline, Mahan Air, is affiliated with the IRGC and that the airline is permitted to land in Munich in spite of Iran using the planes to transport people and weapons to aid its allies, including Bashar "The Chin" al-Assad in Syria.

What's up with that?

Last October, President Trump didn't certify Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal, and he vowed to target the IRGC with further sanctions. 

When Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced those IRGC sanctions, he said that "the IRGC has played a central role to Iran becoming the world's foremost state sponsor of terror." He further warned "the private sector to recognize that the IRGC permeates much of the Iranian economy, and those who transact with IRGC-controlled companies do so at great risk."

"What Iran is actually doing is applying the Hezbollah model to the greater Middle East," McMaster said. "They want the Arab world perpetually weak, and [they want] weak governments in power that are dependent on Iran for support, while they grow terrorist organizations, militias, illegal arms groups outside that government's control that can turn against government if that government acts against Iran's interests."

[See Syria]

Basically what McMaster was saying that when a country invests in Iran, it is investing in the IRGC.

You recall the IRGC kidnapped U.S. Navy sailors, had them go to their knees while they held them at gunpoint. They are also the same scum weasels that have threatened other ships in various ways.

We need to cut them off immediately.

McMaster called on the world community to "address serious flaws in the Iran deal and counter Iran's destabilizing activities, including its development and proliferation of missiles, and its support for terrorist proxies and militias that fuel destructive conflicts across the greater Middle East.

Aides warn Trump to go light vs. 'Rocket Man'

Top aides to President Trump have been warning him over and over not to continue with his personal attacks against North Korean leader 'Fat Face' Kim Jong Un. They specifically told him to cool his jets before the UN speech this week, but Trump's jets were hotter than the core of an H-bomb.

The aides told him that insulting Kim in such a global venue could escalate tensions and end any chance for negotiations to diffuse the nuclear crisis.

Evidently, Trump pretended to go along with this good advice but when it came to the UN speech, he derisively described Kim as "Rocket Man" on a "suicide mission" and he threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea--which was not in the speech draft but were ad libbed by Trump.

Even Trump's anti-Israel  national security adviser H.R. McMaster argued for several months against attacking Kim Jong Un on a personal level warning it could backfire.

It would be like "War of the World's Egos."

However, asking Trump to play nice and not belittle his enemies and rivals with crude nicknames was too hard to suppress. He felt compelled to go after the chubby chump.

Now some advisors worry that Trump's escalating war of words has pushed the standoff with North Korea into a new and dangerous phase that will negate the hard work of sanctions on their economy.

But at least Trump feels satisfied he 'out punked' Kim in spite of the North Korean leader's CIA psychological profile that says he has a massive ego and reacts harshly and often lethally to insults and perceived slights.

Of course, Kim took Trump's insults personally and was especially pissed that Trump dissed him in front of 200 world leaders and diplomats at the UN.

The insulting went back and forth:

Trump: Hey Kim, if you can't laugh at yourself, I'd be glad to do it for you.

Kim: If I gave you a penny for your thoughts, I'd get change.

Trump: Oh yeah? The last time I saw a face like yours, I fed it a banana.

Kim: Donald Trump, I not offended by what you say, you dotard. I'm just happy you're now stringing words into sentences.

Trump: If I throw a stick, will you go away?

And so on.

This has got to stop before both leaders believe they cannot 'lose face' and respond with fire and fury. In fact, this kind of clashing can undermine Trump's other efforts at the General Assembly meetings.

John Park, a specialist on Northeast Asia at Harvard's Kennedy School, said the back and forth insults have created a "new reality" and probably shut off any chance of starting new talks to curb NoKo's nuclear arms program.

"If the belief centers around sanctions being the last hope to averting war and getting North Korea back to the negotiating table, it's too late," Park said.

Former President Obama warmed Trump before his inauguration that North Korea would be his most pressing international concern. But Trump realizing Obama was the idiot who told Romney that Russia was no big deal, probably didn't give the socialist much credence, but he was 'amazed' how close Kim was to developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could deliver a nuclear warhead to U.S. soil.

However, when he first entered the White House, Trump rarely derided Kim and in May, he said he'd be "honored" to meet Kim under the right circumstances.

He also said he'd built a wall and Mexico will pay for it.

He also said he'd end DACA.

General Disaster McMaster yells at Israelis, supports Hezbollah

National Security Advisor H.R. "Huff 'n Puff" McMaster reportedly yelled at an Israeli delegation for being Jewish, Israeli, and concerned about the activities of Hezbollah, a group the idiot claims is not a terrorist organization.

According to David Steinberg of PJ Media, on August 28th, an Israeli delegation met with National Security Council officials at the White House to discuss the terror group Hezbollah and how it's posing a current threat to Israel.

Remind you of anyone?

The meeting preceded a two-week long Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) exercise the began Sept. 4th, to prepare the Jewish State for possible war with Hezbollah, the terrorists who McMaster evidently sees as freedom fighters. It is the largest IDF exercise in 20 years and is ongoing.

Israel sees the threat as dire based on the history of Hezbollah's terrorist activities. 

Although Hezbollah has been a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization since 1997, McMaster thinks they're just a bunch of misunderstood guys who were just out for a walk and asked "what difference does that make?" In fact, McMaster brought NSC Senior Director of Counter-Terrorism Mustafa Javed Ali to the White House meeting with Israel.

Ali, a terrorist-supporter who pretends to be against Hezbollah, is described by a senior administration source as being "opposed to Hezbollah's designation as a terrorist organization."

It was Ali who was the driving force behind disinviting Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a knowledgeable and brilliant speaker on Islam and Islamic law (Sharia), from speaking before the NSC.

The Israelis were understandably enraged that Javed Ali was attending the meeting and demanded that he leave. It went all to hell from there.

Sources said McMaster explicitly dismissed the Israelis' specific concerns about Hezbollah, in particular their concerns about the "safe zone" currently being established in Syria, which was strongly supported by Hezbollah's sponsor, Iran. Thus, it would immediately become a safe zone for Hezbollah to operate and terrorize. 

McMaster was said to "blow off" this important Israeli concern and actually began "yelling at the Israelis" in the meeting.

According to Israel National News, the Israeli officials present at the meeting "included Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, IDF Military Intelligence head Maj. Gen. Herzl Halevi, and Zohar Palti, head of the Defense Ministry's political-security department."

The newspaper emphasized that "top Israeli officials" defended McMaster against the truth that he's anti-Israel and pro-Hezbollah. Just because all the garbage that comes out of his mouth shows his hatred for the Jewish State is no reason to believe he means it.

McMaster should be telling Israel that we have their back in the event of another Israel-Hezbollah war. He ought not to be yelling at them because it exposes him for the lunatic he is.

The most disturbing thing, however, is that President Trump still has him in his administration. He promised his voters he would stand behind Israel bigly but instead is looking a lot like his predecessor.

McMaster has more problems than just his anti-Israel stance

Current National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has miffed some Trump administration people after it was revealed he sent a letter to Susan "It Was A Video" Rice giving her ongoing access to classified information.

McMaster is already a noted anti-Zionist (aka anti-Semite) and Arab supporter in every facet of support that Trump opposes, but for some unfathomable reason, he still has a job. 

He fired several people (seven in total thus far) who are pro-Israel, and most recently dumped the Trump loyalist, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council.

Circa reported Thursday that McMaster sent a letter to Rice giving her access to classified material, just weeks after her alleged role was disclosed in 'unmasking' identities of Trump associates in intelligence reports.

But for some unfathomable reason, he still has a job.

However, Fox News learned by National Security Council sources, that the letter is a pro forma document similar to those every living former national security adviser and former president is sent, and he was required to send it. 

Perhaps that's a requirement that needs  further analysis.

Fox News was also told that just because her security clearance was extended, that doesn't mean she gets to look at classified information or 'unmask' Trump staffers. All it means is that she can be called back (if need be) to discuss classified information and provide more bull crap to the media.

However, the fact that McMaster sent the lying Rice lizard the letter doesn't sit well with members of the Trump administration, who aren't big fans of the anti-Israel jerk.

McMaster says Israel is an "illegitimate' 'Occupying Power'

U.S. National Security Advisor and blatant anti-Semitic H.R. McMaster has done his best to get rid of the pro-Israel people at the National Security Council, according to three White House and defense officials, speaking to Conservative Review (CR).

Caroline Glick, an Israeli journalist born in the USA, detailed the volatile allegations between McMaster and Israel. She wrote:

Many of you will remember that a few days before Trump's visit to Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisers were blindsided when the Americans suddenly told them that no Israeli official was allowed to accompany Trump to the Western Wall. What hasn't been reported is that it was McMaster who pressured Trump to agree not to let Netanyahu accompany him to the Western Wall. At the time, I and other reporters were led to believe that this was the decision of rogue anti-Israel officers at the US consulate in Jerusalem. But it wasn't. It was McMaster.

And even that, it works out, wasn't sufficient for McMaster. He pressured Trump to cancel his visit to the Wall and only visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial--a la the Islamists who insist that the only reason Israel exists is European guilt over the Holocaust. 

Since McMaster headed the NSC, seven staunchly pro-Israel people were purged: Steve Bannon, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Derek Harvey, K.T. McFarland, Rich Higgins, Adam Lovinger and Tera Dahl.

A senior West Wing official told CR that "McMaster constantly refers to the existence of a Palestinian state before 1947," and he also describes Israel as an "illegitimate," "occupying power."

McMaster apparently has not read the Old Testament nor understands the origins of Palestine. Sadly, he is not alone.

Bibi Netanyahu & Caroline Glick

There was never a Palestine state. The name "Palestine" is derived from the Hebrew word "peleshet" used to refer to the ancient enemies of the Jews, the Philistines, an Aegean people closely related to the Greeks. They have no connection ethnically, linguistically or historically with Arabia. 

In the Second Century, the Romans defeated the Jews and named the land Palaestina in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.

Until 1948, the term "Palestinian" referred to the Jews in the land.

Further indications that Caroline Glick has McMaster's number is the fact that he shut down a joint U.S.-Israel project to fight Hezbollah's move to help Iran. It was led by former NSC Middle East director Derek Harvey.

After the Palestinian terrorists killed two Israeli police officers outside the as-Aqsa Mosque which resulted in Israel installing metal detectors, McMaster called Israel's attempt at protecting the holy site "just another excuse by the Israelis to repress the Arabs."

In May, McMaster refused to recognize that the Western Wall was part of Israel.

Holy crap!

One senior West Wing official said, "In advance of the president's trip to Israel, there was a lot of desire from within the Trump administration for [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to join the president at the Western Wall. McMaster didn't even want [Trump] to go to the Western Wall. He only wanted the president to visit the Holocaust Museum.

On Wednesday, McMaster fired Ezra Cohen-Watnick, senior director for intelligence at the NSC.

Even from the time McMaster was at Central Command (CENTCOM) he has shown himself to be pro-Arab, anti-Israel. He sees Israel as the enemy and he also backs Obama's pro-Iran deal.

In fact, according to Daniel Horowitz of CR, McMaster is on the opposite side of every one of Trump's campaign promises involving Isral and the Arab world, and now he's "purging all of Trump's own loyalists on the National Security Council and it's not like he's keeping some of the establishment Republicans; there are Democrats there.

I don't know why Trump put McMaster in the position he's in. I don't know why McMaster is even in the Trump administration. His negative views on Israel and the fact that he looks the other way when it comes to Iran's constant and blatant violations of the deal Obama struck with the terrorist nation, is a serious, disturbing threat to our national security.

McMaster really needs to go. I know the Palestinian Authority would love to have him on board.

Tillerson shills for Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar

President Trump has thus far talked a good game about radical Islamic terrorism, but he has yet to designate the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization as he was expected to do.

The designation falls under the job description of the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. But Tillerson has chosen the MB and its backers in Qatar and Turkey over their Arab rivals. In fact, Tillerson has only negative things to say about the idea of designating them a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Tillerson's main talking point is that the MB's political parties have representatives in governments in Turkey and Bahrain, which is irrelevant. Bahrain has banned the Brotherhood and the U.S. would not deal with Lebanon since it has Hezbollah in it, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The Secretary of State also spouted the same "non-violent" and "moderate" Brotherhood propaganda and claimed the Brotherhood's political parties in governments "have become so by renouncing violence and terrorism."

That's bull crap and it was bull crap when Obama said it. 

Now that Trump is in office and has said all the politically incorrect things one can say about Islamic terrorism, you would think his Secretary of State would be honest too, but perhaps Trump didn't quite know what he was getting with Tillerson. 

The disappointment in Tillerson's position is exacerbated by the fact that now is an opportune time to designate the MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 

Again, Trump said he would but he hasn't. 

The Arab world is pressuring Qatar over its support of the MB and other jihadists. Those Arabs wonder where we stand since our president and our Secretary of State are on opposite sides of the fence on this issue.

Patrick Poole, a counter-terrorism expert, asserts that Tillerson is "sabotaging" Trump's foreign policy. Poole would like to see Tillerson do a "Priebus" and don't let the door hit him on his way out.

Here we have Trump expressing his support for those Arab nations taking measures against Qatar and unequivocally describing them as a major terrorism funder. Tillerson describes Qatar as "very reasonable" in his reaction to Arab pressure.

Tillerson was formerly the CEO of ExxonMobil, a company that is also a member of the U.S.-Turkish Business Council. The chairman is Ekin Alptekin, the same businessman who's at the center of controversy regarding former National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn.  

Alptekin's company contracted with Flynn for $600,000 to promote Erdogan government's interests. Flynn's firm registered as a lobbyist but didn't register as a foreign agent--that was the problem that got Flynn in trouble and fired from the Trump administration and replaced by General H.R. McMaster.

There's no proof of direct dealings between Tillerson and Alptekin, but ExxonMobil's involvement in the U.S.-Turkish Business Council is a good indication how Tillerson's previous relationship with Turkey's government may influence his behavior.

While Erdogan had few defenders, he certainly had one in Tillerson.

At the beginning of July, Tillerson went to Istanbul to receive an award from the World Petroleum Congress where he openly praised those who defended Erdogan against a coup attempt last year. He even went so far as to describe the Islamist theocratic dictatorship as a democracy. 

He said:

"Nearly a year ago, the Turkish people--brave men and women--stood up against coup plotters and defended their democracy. I take this moment to recognize their courage and honor the victims of the events of July 15, 2016. It was on that day that the Turkish people exercised their rights under the Turkish constitution, defended their place in a prosperous Turkey, and we remember those who were injured or died in that event."

Although Tillerson condemned the Turkish security personnel who violently attacked protesters in Washington D.C. in May, something any public official would do, when it comes to difficult issues, Tillerson sides with Turkey and Qatar, contradicting President Trump, who selected him for Secretary of State.

Even when it comes to the Kurds, our closest allies in fighting Islamic State, Tillerson's State Department sided with Turkey in criticizing the Iraqi Kurds' referendum on independent statehood, implying his opposition to Kurdish independence.

Trump was elected for change, but Tillerson is not the man for the job. Nothing has changed and maybe it's worse.

Where's Waldo and Steve Bannon?

Where in Sam Hill is Steve Bannon? He seems to have disappeared from the political scene.

The guy who was once called "The Great Manipulator" and is Trump's senior adviser, has pulled back, probably to save his job. 

Bannon wasn't around on Trump's trips to Europe for the G20 summit and absent from the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron. This is truly a bellwether as Bannon has a strong interest in European politics and antipathy to the EU.

He hasn't been around for the White House's very sensitive policy debates and some even say they've heard Steve weeping quietly in one of the White House bathroom stalls.

Bannon has been humbled by President Trump's growing suspicion that he's looking out only for himself, and is in a self-imposed exile, away from the administration's inner circle to save his bacon, according to several White House invisible advisers.

Regarding Trump's Warsaw speech that called for the defense of Western civilization and echoed Bannon's very own ideology, it turns out Bannon didn't write a single word of it, nor did he participate in the administration's conference calls to strategize the speech. In fact, the speech was mostly written by chief speechwriter Stephen Miller, national security adviser H.R. McMaster and speechwriters Vince Haley and Ross Worthington.

"His name wasn't even mentioned," came the voice of a senior White House anonymous official through a black curtain that hid his identity.

According to another anonymous White House aide, Bannon now spends hours camped out at the conference table, reading the news or working on his phone.

Perhaps he's checking Twitter for the latest on POTUS's thoughts.

The truth is, Bannon enjoys working in the shadows, but I believe his Trump administration days are numbered. I give him six months.

H.R. McMaster says there's more than 1-way to go with NoKo's threat

President Trump's national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Wednesday that the administration is considering additional strategies on how to deal with North Korea. The military option is still very much on the table.

In a security conference along with Homeland Security Chief John Kelly, McMaster said that "The threat is much more immediate now and so it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach--failed approach of the past."

Using Einstein's famous quote in paraphrase he said it would be insanity to continue to do the same thing the U.S. has done for years and expect a different result.

McMaster's words come just a day prior to Trump meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The new South Korean leader vowed to stand firmly with President Trump against North Korea, mainly because he'd be a fool not to. Moon downplayed his past desire for a softer, gentler, weak approach toward the hermit nation.

"Together we will achieve the dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program, peace on the Korean Peninsula and eventually peace in Northeast Asia," Moon said, as he took a deep drag off a fat one.


The talks between Tweetin' Trump and Moonbeam Moon begin tonight and then there will be formal talks tomorrow, Friday.

China wants Trump to negotiate with Kim. That's about as likely as Kim doing a TV ad for Nutri System in spandex biking pants. Trump is frustrated with China's anemic effort to pressure the North with economic pressure.

And corpulent Kim is showing no signs that he wishes to restart talks on giving up his nuclear aspirations. He'd sooner give up his favorite testicle than give up his nuke program.

Moon told liberal newspaper The Washington Post that North Korea's Kim Jong Un is "unreasonable" and "very dangerous." The Washington Post didn't know that.

Moon believes that North Korea needs to be pressured to get compliance from them and bragged that he got a B+ in Political Science, which was obvious when he delayed the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system the U.S. was going to deploy to the South. It would protect the citizens of South Korea as well as the 28,000 U.S. forces on the peninsula from ballistic missile attacks by the North Koreans.

No big deal, right Moon?

Moon ordered an environmental review before allowing additional launchers for THAAD because not only is he an idiot, he is also worried that shooting off a missile disturbs the hearing of some species of frogs.

Bilderberg group secretly meets Thursday to control the world

Global power brokers, politicians, bankers, captains of industry, along with European royalty, will quietly meet for four days starting Thursday. They will discuss, behind closed doors, the merits and problems with Donald J. Trump's U.S. presidency.

The meeting is in Chantilly, Virginia where 131 elites, such as Henry Kissinger, civil rights activist Vernon Jordan and NATO secretary Jens Stoltenberg, will discuss transatlantic relations, a "progress report" on the Trump administration, and the future of the European Union.

If the Bilderberg group does not like what it sees, they will destroy the world. 

Or maybe not.

This year's meeting is a chance for Trump supporters like Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel to face his critics such as Eric Schmidt, the executive director of Google's parent company.

Schmidt, the man behind all the information Google has on all of us, and who knows where we are at every minute of the day and wants our photos and comments to store away for some future purpose, warned us in January that Trump's administration will do "evil things."

And Schmidt knows this because Google knows everything and would never use this information to do "evil things" or, at least nothing that they determine is evil.


Bilderberg Group has met annually since 1954 and its purpose (allegedly, if you're an Alex Jones fan, which I'm not) is to foster dialogue between Europoe and North America. Although this meeting will be a mere 30 miles from the White House, they will be totally out of the public eye.

And if you're an Alex Jones fan, you will find that fact very disturbing because you will know they are up to no good as they run the world without any resistance.

Only a few journalists will participate in the forum: London Evening Standard editor George Osborne and the Washington bureau chief for Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper. 

However, it is the tradition of Bilderberg to exclude news outlets from the event, which, if you're an Alex Jones fan, you would find that very, very suspicious and probably malevolent.

"There is no desired outcome, no minutes are taken and no report is written," the group states. "Furthermore, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued."

Alex Jones: "Very fishy, if you ask me."

The meeting is expected to address Russia, China, globalization, nuclear proliferation, and "the war on information."

"And world domination," Jones mutters.

Some guests invited include: Dutch King Willem-Alexander; David Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group; and John Brennan, former CIA chief and "secret Muslim because he visited the Hajj, which only Muslims are allowed to visit," Jones might say.

Anti-globalization protesters, those people who still believe in sovereign nations, have descended on the location of the meeting while in-between jobs.

On North Korea: we may have to bomb the s*** out of them

(Photo: Fox News)

Kim Jong Un keeps flipping 'the bird' at President Trump after he warned the hermit state to stop their ballistic missile and nuclear program or there will be consequences to pay.

North Korea responded to Trump's warning by firing another ballistic missile test which failed for the second time. Still, the point was made that Kim Jong Un is a lunatic and will do whatever he wants to do to remain in power.

National Security Adviser and retired Army general H.R. McMaster spoke on "Fox News Sunday" and was asked about North Korea's pursuit of a nuclearized weapon after President Trump had stated the United States will no longer be the world's policeman.

"It's an open defiance of the international community," McMaster said. "It's important for all of us to confront this regime . . . None of us can accept a North Korea with a nuclear weapon."

Trump has been critical of former administrations over their attempts at overthrowing foreign regimes by force or through financing operations. He called upon the nations of NATO to start paying their "fair share" and he threatened to resign from the alliance if they refused to kick in.

But when McMaster was asked if we have to do something ourselves regarding North Korea he said, "Well yes, we do have to do something, and so we have to do something, again, with partners in the region and globally, and that involves enforcement of the UN sanctions that are in place.

"It may mean ratcheting up those sanctions even further, and it also means being prepared for military operations if necessary," he added.

McMaster said of Mr. Trump, "The president, I think, has been masterful in terms his development of a relationship with President Xi and in the discussions that led them to the place where the United States and the Chinese understand their interests overlap."

Trump has warned us about the possibility for a "major conflict" with North Korea and he has been working on strengthening relationships with players in the region such as Japan.

In fact, when President Trump was entertaining President Xi of China at his Mar a Lago estate in Florida, and plying him with incredibly delicious chocolate cake that was out of this world,  the 'Mother Of All Bombs" was dropped on an ISIS tunnel network in Afghanistan killing only 100 terrorists. 

(Photo: AP)

Xi got the message from Trump as he scoffed down that chocolate delight: the United States is no longer being led by a limp-wrist socialist whose Columbia University ID listed him as a foreign student, had Muslim Brotherhood members visit him at the White House, had a failed healthcare plan that he lied about, and made the worst deal in the universe with Iran over nuclear weapons.

Now we are being led by a real estate mogul and reality TV show star who knows how to make deals, fire people, and set unbelievable policy and attendance records as president.
