Editor’s Note: A copy of the NSA memo obtained by Foreign Policy, “POTUS & Political Warfare” may be viewed here
The memo at the heart of the latest blowup at the National Security Council paints a dark picture of media, academics, the “deep state,” and other enemies allegedly working to subvert U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a copy of the document obtained by Foreign Policy.
The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president’s desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out.
The full memo, dated May 2017, is titled “POTUS & Political Warfare.” It provides a sweeping, if at times conspiratorial, view of what it describes as a multi-pronged attack on the Trump White House.
Trump is being attacked, the memo says, because he represents “an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative.” Those threatened by Trump include “‘deep state’ actors, globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans.”
(1) Here's your proof that the "memo that blew up the NSC" is an in-joke.

It must be Bannon then, a declared, 'Marxist' ...unless of course this guy is talking about the Marx Brothers. Someone is peeing on thee!

Made to look dangeous and reckless? No, he is IS dangerous and reckless to any sane human, which rules out most of this site.

This seems like the right thread to record a theory that has been drifting in and out of my mind for a day or two.
1) The evidence for North Korea's nuclear arsenal is at worst outright fiction and at best completely exaggerated
2) It has been fed to Trump by the spooks right now because he is in a fix with the Russian investigation, and the spooks knew he would use it as a distraction
3) Trump is not renowned for his patience with complex issues, or for engaging deeply with anything that can't be distilled into headlines or tweets*
4) This entire war-scare has been designed to backfire on Trump and discredit him (by playing into the 'irrational madman' image among liberal-left types) and in due course it will be exposed as nonsense
(* = This description isn't meant to be contemptuous; as a businessman by instinct Trump is known to rely on bullet-points and condensed summaries in order to make quick decisions, which isn't always a good idea in politics).
Result: The media go ape, and the spooks turn round and say "We gave him all the intelligence, he just didn't read the caveats and 'maybes' properly," Trump is made to look reckless and dangerous and his authority is undermined at home and abroad.
Sort of like the mythical Iraqi WMD, except in that case the White House coached the spooks, and in this scenario the spooks are coaching the White House.
The thing that makes me think this theory might have more than a grain of truth to it is the fact that no-one, but no-one is raising any questions about the quality or source of the information that Trump is relying upon. Not one journalist has addressed the issue in anything other than the most superficial way. No-one connected with the intelligence itself has briefed anyone in anything except the vaguest generalisations. It looks like a case of 'Never interrupt the President when he's making a mistake'.
I hope I'm wrong, and I probably am.

this is not made up. You could check the data yourself unlike so many fake news stories and unnamed sources.
