But they generally kept a low profile. Now they are at the centre of power.

It showed him early yesterday morning holding a shield in a line of fellow white supremacists. Their contingent was identified as belonging to Vanguard America. I went to Vanguard's web site and read their manifesto denouncing anyone who wasn't white, Christian and protestant.<br /><br />Reading through the manifesto/screed I came across references to "cultural Marxism" a phrase I was sure I'd run into recently. It turned out it was a term used by Rich Higgins of the National Security Council in a memo he wrote for Donald Trump. The paranoid, xenophobic, racist memo landed on Trump's desk and it's said he loved it.<br /><br />The new NSC chief, General H.R. McMaster also came across the Higgins memo and it triggered his purge of radicals from the NSC. When Trump learned that Higgins had been booted out he was infuriated.<br /><br />What's now beyond question is that Trump is not only the beacon for white nationalism but these people are dispersed within his administration. Three of them - Bannon, Miller and Gorka are top Trump advisors. They have Trump's ear and they have his heart and mind. They got rid of Priebus and Spicer and now there's said to be a civil war to oust the generals.<br /><br />Those torch-bearing swine at Charlottesville are merely the foot soldiers of a malignancy that has infiltrated the White House.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-61526360865191742332017-08-13T11:51:49.559-04:002017-08-13T11:51:49.559-04:00A very appropriate quotation from Shakespeare, Ano...A very appropriate quotation from Shakespeare, Anon.
