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.

Some country will send its American Social Score data to Biden to root out the military.

How about the USMC Scout-Sniper Totenkopf/Siegrunen emblems?

It is a U.S. Army Special Forces crest pin.

“De oppresso liber” is their motto.

Danger! Beware a frog, a 4chan troll (OK), and a few weird things nobody has ever heard of, mixed with actual Nazi crap so we don’t sound 100% insane.

Our poor troops. They are held without recourse and their only recourse is to prove they are not guilty, their guilt is presumed already.

Pepe the frog was a joke started by a bunch of goofballs looking to trigger the left. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and people like Hillary (and now this general) are afraid of a cartoon frog. These were the same people (4 Chan maybe?) who also made the lefties think the OK sign is a white supremacist signal. So now these pranks have become part of the left’s weaponry against anyone they don’t like. This country has gone nuts.

That’s a hoot. Some lefty probably thinks it’s real. Like all totalitarians, leftists have no sense of humor

Once the military is debilitated and set in opposition to the citizenry, that is when the enemy will be “invited” to “maintain order.”

When memes are outlawed, only outlaws will have memes.
