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.

I think they were also the ones who started the “It’s OK to be white” prank.

Put a sticker with that, or paste some paper with that, and watch the Leftists freak out.

I bore witness to such a freakout.

I was entering a building and the person next to me saw one of those aforementioned signs, and expressed great outrage.

It was a sight to behold.

It was a native indian symbol long before Hitler.

It was also turned the opposite direction of the Swastika.

"Fighting to win for well defined reasons is one thing, but shedding blood for open ended wars, nation building and protecting despots is something altogether different."

This is THE reason the Deep State is so against Trump. He kept us out of any new misadventures, was winding down the old ones, and making peace among many Middle East hotspots. He proved that it is possible to take a different approach and succeed.

Yes, nutz it has gone with the clown car careening towards the ramp to jump over the grand canyon just a tad shy of what’s needed.

The DC defense establishment and the Pentagon need constant wars to thrive and grow their budgets. Peace is bad for business.

Yep, the Left will assign the military to a new “domestic stability mission”. The media will applaud it as a necessary move to eradicate extremism. George Orwell would be amazed.

Meanwhile the cowards in the Republican Party do absolutely nothing to block this madness. They are part of the problem.
