It’s a breathtaking interview, and I feel in debt to Cernovich for providing the transcript.

Higgins is very much in sync with Coughlins “Catastrophic Failure” which is one of his recommended books, and which would gives a detailed description of the other two books.

A primary contribution of Higgens intellect is to emphasize the coordinated, multi-dimensional attack on American society and American culture. The attackers, Islamic and cultural-Marxist, are intelligent, prolific, politically sophisticated, and dedicated. As Higgens states, the focus is on violence, “violent extremism”, which is a red herring. The real danger is the ongoing and sophisticated campaign to demoralize, destabilize and collapse Western culture and Western government. Unless the West has an informed and active strategy to shut out the invader attackers and protect itself, it’s like a whale under attack by masses of piranhas. At first, the danger seems picayune, but the piranhas eventually wear away the outer skin and attack the vital organs.

The real question is, why would McMaster eliminate a staff resource with this vital perspective and knowledge? Even if McMaster didn’t agree with every assertion, the ideas and facts ought to be debated in council. Higgens seems to have triggered a mini-version of the 2011 massacre he describes, where every person and book knowledgeable of Islam was systematically eliminated from training received by security agents: FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.

The most parsimonious explanation, thought not necessarily the most true, is that McMaster and his allies simply didn’t want anyone disrupting the comfortable establishment narrative: violent, disturbed sociopaths engage in lone-wolf murder rampages, the Syrian government is evil and needs to be toppled by US-supported Sunni Muslims, and Russia needs more sanctions to pressure it into line. Admitting there is a long-standing, active conspiracy to topple our government and culture would require the end of business-as-usual: generally, sudden death to an entrenched, comfortable bureaucracy.
