A commander of a U.S. Space Force unit tasked with detecting ballistic missile launches has been fired for comments made during a podcast promoting his new book, which claims Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the United States military.
Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, was relieved from his post Friday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, over a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, Military.com has exclusively learned.
"This decision was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast," a Space Force spokesperson said in an email. "Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity."
Lohmeier's temporary assignment in the wake of his removal was not immediately clear.
Earlier this month, Lohmeier, a former instructor and fighter pilot who transferred into the Space Force, self-published a book titled "Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military."
"Irresistible Revolution is a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces," a description of the book reads.
Lohmeier sat down last week with L. Todd Wood of the podcast "Information Operation," hosted by Creative Destruction, or CD, Media, to promote the book. He spoke about U.S. institutions, including universities, media and federal agencies including the military, that he said are increasingly adopting leftist practices. These practices -- such as diversity and inclusion training -- are the systemic cause for the divisive climate across America today, he said.
From his perspective as a commander, Lohmeier said he didn't seek to criticize any particular senior leader or publicly

Active Duty ping.
Those thoughts are forbidden in the woke military.
On the bright side, the he is unmasking just gave him a ton of free publicity.
Whitaker Chambers tried to warn us.

UPDATE: Two hours after my first tweet the Space Force commander’s Critical Race Theory book is out of stock and a #1 bestseller
Is it time for a general strike or an uprising across the country? Maybe concentrate on red counties in red states first, then purple counties in red states, etc.?
Or, maybe the question is...WHO is going to stand up and make the call to unleash Americans against the madness?
It appears the Left is NOT going to allow this country to split peacefully into Blue and Red halves.
At what point do we sound the alarms and announce it is on?
Is Trump too afraid at this point?
Unfortunately, it appears it is time.
Marxists have infiltrated just ask the CIA and FBI and state department all of which support the agenda.
Does he or does he not have his 20 years in? I think not if he ws a captain in 2016. Not a good idea to get political no matter what your views are. If it comes down from above and you disagree guess who’s problem it is?
If We Just,,,

Oh,

It’s outrageous that Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was removed from his command in the Space Force for voicing concerns that the U.S. military is promoting Marxist ideologies.
Lt. Gen. Whiting came up for air just long enough to relieve an American Patriot from command and then immediately proceeded to go down on his “boyfriend”. I can guarantee you this is not far from the truth. The purge of Americans who believe in America, Patriotism, and our Constitution in the military began decades ago.
It was very slow going at first but, Leftists are Persistent and determined. Relentless. All traits that American Patriots lack in spades.
American Constitutional Patriots on the whole just want to be left alone to live our lives. Just leave us be!!!
Leftists understand this oh so very well. This is our weakness. We don’t just want to be left alone. We don’t want to be bothered with the grunt work on a decade-by-decade basis needed to maintain the freedoms we love.
We just want to be left alone to live our lives and raise our families. This ultimate desire is our weakness. It is a weakness the Leftists has recognized and take FULL advantage of.
Frikkin' TRAINING MANUALS point out ins and outs, pros and cons, rights and wrongs !
He left out the biggie ...The public school SYSTEM .
So is that an admission that we’re now a communist country?
That what it says to me.
“If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.” ~ Voltaire
Yes he did.
As did Senator Joseph McCarthy.
you’ve lost
you have already accepted the premise of splitting the country
how about we fight and take it all back
they will never leave us alone in peace
they can’t abide it
If he had decried the “alt-right,” “QAnon,” or “white supremacy” in the military it would have been lauded, and he would have been promoted.
