LEAKED MEMO REVEALS WHAT SOME MORE EXTREME AMERICAN RIGHT-WINGERS ARE THINKING

I came across some articles about National Security Council official Rich Higgins, who was fired because of a quite controversial memo. In his memo, Higgins described supposed domestic and international threats to Trump's presidency - those threats included "globalists, bankers, ’the deep state’ and Islamists." Higgins also believed that "the Russia story" was an attempt to "sabotage President Trump's nationalist agenda" (1).

The Atlantic published some extracts of the memo (1):

"Through the campaign, candidate Trump tapped into a deep vein of concern among many citizens that America is at risk and slipping away. Globalists and Islamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as 
a national and political identity, must be destroyed. … Islamists ally with cultural Marxists because, as far back as the 1980s, they properly assessed that the left has a strong chance of reducing Western civilization to its benefit."

"Because the left is aligned with Islamist organizations at local, national and international levels, recognition should be given to the fact that they seamlessly interoperate through coordinated synchronized interactive narratives … These attacks narratives are pervasive, full spectrum and institutionalized at all levels. They operate in social media, television, the 24-hour news cycle in all media and are entrenched at the upper levels of the bureaucracies..."

Mr. Higgins has expressed similar extreme views before. In 2016, The Daily Caller published an interview where Mr. Higgins said that "Islamists are weaponizing political correctness." He also claimed that "the left, with enemy-friendly Muslim Brotherhood allies, is able to control the dominant cultural narrative with the media and the government, blinding us (i.e. USA) in the war on terror and impacting how Americans think" (2).
