Islamophobic Remarks :
Higgins’ conspiracies have often descended into apocalyptic imagery of immigrants taking over Europe and the United States ceasing to be as a result of the “Islamic takeover”:
How bad are things? Very bad. The failure to identify, define, and counter the Islamic Movement and its threat to the American political philosophy and way of life endangers current and future generations of Americans and may lead to the end of the Republic. In five years, given current immigration rates and the gains being made overseas by Islamic Movement-affiliated entities, sharia-inspired wars will begin across Europe. In the U.S. Government’s current state of reality dislocation, there is a high likelihood that U.S. policy will support the insurgent Islamic movements in these European countries. In ten years, the Islamic Movement will have consolidated the new Caliphate under the leadership of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and begun the Caliphate’s expansion into Europe. Domestically, the United States will be ideologically fractured by the growing alliance between the hard left* and Islamic ideologies, both of which are already fueling domestic conflict. In 20 years, the United States may no longer exist as a unified nation under a common political philosophy. [2]
In 2017 Higgins was fired from the National Security Council for a memo he sent out to his colleagues. Part of that memo explicitly stated:
“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,” the memo warns. It argues that this has led “Islamists [to] ally with cultural Marxists,” but that in the long run, “Islamists will co-opt the movement in its entirety.” [3]
Higgins has openly accused U.S. government officials of “purging” staff members who are not “Muslim Brotherhood compliant”: [4]
He also believes there’s a shadow-leftist conspiracy to “penetrate American society” and destroy it from within by allying with Islamists: [5]
Higgins quite self-aware that he is seen as a conspiracy theorist by his former colleagues and peers. His first tweet attempts to mock that notion: [6]
