National Security Advisor McMaster accused Russia of engaging in ‘a very sophisticated campaign of subversion,’ continuing on he states that the attack is ongoing each and every day to destabilize Europe and pit political groups against each other.
“We’re facing a threat from Russia that involves also so-called new generation warfare. And these are very sophisticated campaigns of subversion and disinformation and propaganda, using cyber tools, operating across multiple domains that attempt to divide our communities within our nation and pit them against each other and try to create a crisis of confidence,” McMaster said at an event in Washington hosted by the Policy Exchange think tank.
Herbert Raymond McMaster was selected by Donald Trump for the position of National Security Advisor in early 2017, the General has a Ph.D. in American history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has been rather critical of Russia’s involvement in international affairs. McMaster is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
However, in May 2017 a penned memo titled “POTUS & Political Warfare,” was published by a National Security individual potentially outlining McMaster’s involvement in thwarting President Trump’s Agenda. The memo goes on to state that Trump represents “an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative.” Furthermore, the memo states that Trump threatens the “‘deep state’ actors, globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans.”

Historically, campaigns of subversion were initiated by communist and socialist regimes with the purpose of creating divisions amongst the ranks of their adversaries. Intriguingly, subversion takes generations to complete, at least according to Yuri Bezmenov a Soviet defector and former Soviet propagandist.
Subversion isn’t just a tactic used by bad actors in the international sphere, in fact, subversion is used by gangs, cartels, the media, and many other organizations across the world for the purpose of gaining control and or creating chaos.
McMaster’s claim, ‘Russia is engaged in campaigns of subversion,’ alone is useless because he himself has been accused of subversion. However, given the recent findings that Russia paid for divisive advertisements across social media platforms, weight can be attributed to the statement made.
Russia paid thousands of dollars to Facebook, Twitter, and Google for advertisements to individually target people (see below). The advertisements created by Russians utilized deep psychological analytics made available by the Tech Giants to target people based on their political affiliations and or their beliefs. The advertising manipulation by Russia was so bad that it actually started riots and protests.
Utilizing social media is only one of the many tactics of subversion. According to Yuri Bezmenov, there are four main aspects of ideological subversion, which is what bad international actors utilize continually; Demoralization, Destabilization, Insurgency, and Normalization.
In this instance, the Russian advertisements, the actors involved created social accounts to foment discord among the American people. In other words, their intended purpose was to develop protests and riots, which occurred with incredible accuracy. This one angle didn’t just happen overnight like the media would suggest. Instead, this has been going on for decades in different forms. Again, according to Mr. Bezmenov, it takes generations to create the required mentality ripe for the political alteration.
With that in mind, regardless of the reality that Russia was caught in the act of fomenting discord in America, the campaign is continual. However, is Russia the only actor? According to the memo, which covertly accused General McMaster of subversion, there are several actors within our own government who view Trump as “an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative.” The memo suggests that there are Communist-Marxist actors within what is called ‘The Deep State’ who would have the entirety of America change into a socialist/communist state based on a form of Marxism.
One of the largest states that is actively engaged in subversion, yet is never mentioned, is China. China is the largest surviving communist/socialist state which has openly aligned its views with that of the Deep State. In early 2017, Communist President of China Xi Jinping stated that if the US wished not to continue on the path of globalism, then China would gladly fill its spot in the international sphere.
China has however been accused of being ‘economically aggressive’ but intriguingly the implication that China could be involved in ideological manipulation fails to be mentioned. Regardless of the lack of verbal conviction led by the United States government, conclusions can be drawn from the understanding that Beijing and Wall Street are intricately linked.
Joshua Eisenman, of the University of Texas at Austin, and an expert on China offers credence to this conclusion; “So most people describe the U.S.-China relationship, in China especially, and in the United States as well, in terms of nation-states, the United States versus China, and then they talk about things like the Thucydides’s Trap and international relations theory. But I think that actually miscategorizes the nature of the relationship. What we have—and what we’ve had for years—has been a marriage of elites in Beijing and to some degree Shanghai, I suppose, with elites in New York and in Washington. One professor, when I was there at a top university, told me that this is a marriage, particularly with Wall Street.” What Mr Eisenman effectively states is that, to a very intimate degree, the elites of Beijing, Shanghai, Wall Street, and Washington are all linked.
Given the aforementioned information, a theory can be drawn that the reason why China is rarely accused of subversion is because the organizations involved have dealings with the communist nation and their affiliates. While Russia is actively blamed for the entirety of subversion ongoing throughout Western societies, it is China who actually owns the vast amounts of influential corporations in America and beyond.
Along with McMaster’s claim that Russia has engaged in campaigns of subversion, China has levied similar ideological warfare against the United States. In fact, while the United States is being ridiculed, both nationally and abroad, for attempting to regain strength, it is China and Russia who are emboldening their nations by returning to their communist-socialist roots.

“China and Russia who are emboldening their nations by returning to their communist-socialist roots”. Mmm. Politely: nonsense. Russia has turned to its Judeo-Christian roots, with religion mandatory in all schools. Homosexuality is frowned upon. The Russian state has refurbished 30,000 churches, and the Russian state and the Russian Orthodox Church are now aligned in all walks of public life.
Sure Russia has its interests, just as the US, China, and every other nation has its interests. But, frankly, I find it hard to read about how external forces are busy trying to influence US government or elections when the US has (AND IS CONTINUING) to do the same all across the world. Just last week Tillerson stated that the State Department had allocated $750 MM dollars to try and unseat Viktor Orban in Hungary, for example. Isn’t that interference in another country’s internal affairs? Obama did it in Israel. Obama tried to do it in the pre-Brexit run-up to the referendum. Obama had the CIA obtain info on all the parties running in the French election. The US bugged Chancellor Merkel’s phone. On and on the list goes. And that’s not even mentioning the ongoing, catastrophic, impact of US foreign policy in the Middle East.
Sometimes, America, you need to step back and take a real good look at yourselves in the mirror.
You are making the same mistake as the author of this article: you fail to identify the Deep State. The Deep State has no borders: it is in China, Russia and The U.S. and many other countries they are all in collusion while each country is more or less following the Deep State! Each country is a corporation whose shares are detained by members residing in different countries, but they all get together in institutions as the Royal Institute of International affairs, CFR, Bilderberg, etc… while the rest of the people are consumers/customers lead by people who must follow the agenda of the Deep State as much as possible while maintaining the customers satisfied as much as possible. It is practically impossible to defeat the Deep State because it approves the corruption of the customers in order to fullfill their agenda. The only way to defeat the Deep State is to stop hard and soft pornography, contraception, abortion, sexual deviations such as homosexuality, etc… and to encourage virtues by all means!
Not disagreeing with you, Marc, but I was trying to address the authors bias in trying to accuse Russia and China of subversion when the US is the number 1 in this game, and has been for a very long time. Regarding the Deep State (DS), or whatever one wants to call the power behind the thrones, I think if you take a step back and look at it in the whole, then you see that there is a puppet game in play, where our so-called political representatives parrot the same line, as do the MSM, social media and so on. It permeates all levels of society, which, of course, is directly attributable to, for example, UN Agenda 21, or Agenda 2030, depending.
Looking at Europe, for instance, we see that virtually every western government is fully supportive of the Islamic invasion, has ably supported it, and is using the full gamut of the organs of state (police, and judiciary etc.) to quash dissent through arrest and prosecution.
Sometimes I wonder what level of leverage the DS has over the politicians to be able to keep everyone toeing the party line. Are they all blackmailed? Or are they all members of secret societies, perhaps. In any event, I think we are witnessing the Fall of the Roman Empire 2.0, and it is deliberate. The NWO (DS, if you prefer) has stated its intentions (e.g. Georgia Stones, Coudenhove-Kalergi plan), and Ordo ab Chao is their preferred MO, offering, as they will, a solution to a problem they created and nourished, where the price will be individual freedom.
The first puffs of wind in the End Times storm, I think.
Of course the U.S. plays a major role in exporting Hollywood corruptions, pop (counter) culture and pornography all over the world. It also exports faked sciences through the secret services (Alliance of the 5 eyes + Mossad) under the supervision of DARPA on the Web as well as in all universities all over the world. But I believe that the Babylon of the Apocalypse is «The City» (London, England) who is the capital of Mamom (god of the riches and technologies); without The City, Hollywood and liberal capitalism would not exist. Liberal capitalism is the prostitution of the Church to Mamom. The Church is the great prostitute of the Apocalypse and Mamom hates her!
