All the buzzwords are there - Rothschilds, Soros, puppets - controlling the world. You can bet the alt right and Steve Bannon are behind it.

where absolutely nothing surprises me about this administration anymore. I would believe anything and demand proof it WASN'T true before I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Where did you see that cartoon?

so I started clicking on links and found this at the Weekly Standard

http://www.weeklystandard.com/whos-winning-the-white-house-wars/article/2009114

I really had no idea that McMaster was slowing getting rid of all of bannon's pals (who were also aligned with Flynn). Intriguing.

That the anti semites are coming out to play isn't a surprise at all. breitbart comment section is a sewer of it.

How long do you think Bannon has got before he's shown the door? Or quits? I think I'm going to toddle over to breitbart and see if the slugs there are discussing this.

I'm reading this article at breitbart:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/03/national-security-council-mcmaster-purging-pro-israel-staff-undermines-trumps-agenda/

And it's complaining that all the pro-Israel people are being fired by McMaster. So we have the alt-right spreading cartoons that are clearly anti-Jewish and saying Jews are controlling McMaster while they're also complaining that the pro-Israel people are being pushed out BY MCMASTER. My head hurts.

There's also a dot in the top corner, which I suspect may be some attempt at also making it the Eye of Providence that one sees on U.S. paper money.

I agree. It's all vile.

But, as a guess, I'd say that if the pro-Trump sect likes it, it's probably antisemitic.

34. Fuck Yes, it is. It's a modern adaption of an anti-semitic meme of the NSDAP:
Thu Aug 3, 2017, 10:49 AM
Aug 2017

In the 1920s, there was the anti-semitic meme how the Jews are secretly controlling all the banks and are causing financial crises (1923 and 1929) in order to destroy Germany.

Today, there is the anti-semitic meme how the Jews are secretly controlling all the banks and are using capitalism to crush governments and install themselves as heads of a globalist dictatorial regime ruling from behind the curtain.



The answer is Yes. This is abso-fucking-lutely anti-semitic.

Someone who's been out of influence, and in the shit, for years now. And the idiot can't even spell 'McMaster'.

The 'Rothschilds' hand even looks vaguely green - a reference to David-Icke-style "they're secret reptiles" lunacy?

44. Kelly, McMasters, and Petraeus had previously worked together at one time or another.
Thu Aug 3, 2017, 12:01 PM
Aug 2017

And Petraeus' name has recently been casually bandied about for potential managerial positions within the administration - so long as he would not be involved in the intelligence field or directly with the DoD.
I'm thinking that Kelly wouldn't mind Petraeus - a fellow general used to successfully managing under crisis - taking a position in the White House staff if McMasters would ensure there would be no way Petraeus would be given access to any information that can damage the administration.

This might be a CT (the Icke reference is spot on) response on an actual possibility of increased military influence on the White House.

As a side - once those 3- and 4- star types retire, the chances of them forgetting that they are no longer in the military when acting in the civilian world is a serious issue. Heck, that's a problem for some even if they just got as far as their silver oakleaf or bird.
These officers are no longer under the privilege of the UCMJ once they give up their commands and take off their uniform for good, and that's a hard thing for many of them to understand.
