Exclusive: Special Forces Warned Against Using Pepe the Frog, III%ers, Other ‘Extremist’ Symbols
Breitbart ^ | 2/4/21

Posted on 02/04/2021 2:34:05 PM PST by Altura Ct.

An Army commander recently briefed U.S. Special Forces candidates and trainees they could be detained or chaptered out of the Army if they are found affiliated with certain imagery popular on the political right that is now considered to be associated with extremism, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.

The briefing, by Army Col. Mike Henry, MD, deputy commander of Special Warfare Medical Group (Airborne)/Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center at the U.S. John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (JFKSWCS) at Fort Bragg, came two days after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, a source familiar with the briefing said.

Henry is responsible for training over 2,500 Army and Navy Special Operations medics.

Around the time of the briefing, slides from the New York Police Department Intelligence Bureau were also posted around the Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center (JSOMTC) and distributed to soldiers. The slides, dated January 14, listed and described about two dozen symbols, ideologies, and memes considered to be “associated with or appropriated by domestic violent extremism.”

The slides said:

Recent high-profile mass-casualty attacks in the West have demonstrated the enduring threat posed by a wide range of racially/ethnically motivated violent extremists and conspiracy-driven malicious actors, including those inspired by far-right, neo-Nazis, and white supremacist worldviews. Due to his concerning trend, NYPD Intelligence Bureau advises law enforcement to maintain awareness of key symbols, icons, and graphics associated with or appropriated by domestic violent extremist movements that — in some cases — were observed during the January 6 deadly and destructive riot at the US Capitol.

Soldiers were told the list came from the Department of Homeland Security and was an updated list of what federal and local law enforcement need to be “on the lookout for,” according to the source.

Henry “told us that if anyone gets caught wearing, buying, selling, affiliated with in any way, any of those things on those list, that the first thing he’s going to do is chapter us out of the Army. The second thing is, he’s going to handle the investigation by sending it over to the DHS,” the source said. “He didn’t quite outright say that we would be arrested, he used the word ‘detained.'”

These so called enemies from the right are the ones who have shed much blood and given much to this nation .

Never thought I would ever view the US Military as I do now.

I think this is done because the Democrats and globalists want to use the US military against the people and they need Americans out in sufficient numbers to take it over.

I wish the Army would have felt this way about Maj. Hasan.

Like they gave a damn.

This is a political purge of the Military and you can bet this has been in the planning stages for a long time.

The Frog is a symbol for Navy UDT (frogmen). What BS from an Army type no less.

Is a political commissar to be assigned to each unit or are service people expected to remember the political dogma?

Sounds sorta like the tail is wagging the dog. Are they going to find somebody they don’t like or is suspect and plant this stuff on them. Granted, I am isolated from the fringe of society, but I have not run across ANY of these symbols.

Ask the leadership if 5% Nation is extremist.

President Obama was good friends with a prominent supporter.

these recruits would be wise to go get a Pepe tattoo asap and then after discharge locate an attorney while signing up for a Constitutional militia in their state
