Biden's Department of Defense to partner with Southern Poverty Law Center on tackling 'extremism'

The White House is ignoring the fact the SPLC inspired a would-be mass shooter and paid millions in damages after defaming innocent people as radicals.

=========================================================================

Groups like ACLU, SPLC, and ADL are responsible for the calamity of Big Tech social media's rules and policies. Now imagine that net being cast across the entire United States population. ADVERTISEMENT The threat of targeting US citizens based on political leanings is a reality. Again, seeing as how under the Obama administration the IRS engaged in that practice. The tragic death of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville is one thing both sides of the political divide saw as senseless violence. But the fact that President Joe Biden started his campaign repeating a falsehood (confirmed via factcheck.org) that former President Donald Trump did not disavow white supremacists back in August 2017, actually reflects on the type of administration Biden runs now. By that meaning, according to a recent Pentagon announcement, we're now learning that the Defense Department is courting controversial partisan NGO groups for their "Countering Extremism Working Group." This is another step in the Biden government's effort to force far-left ideology onto the US military.

If anyone was concerned about the news about a Space Force commander being relieved of duty for speaking out about the military's ideological enforcement of Marxism, this news will accelerate that by several magnitudes.

In the introductory paragraph alone, it's worth emphasizing that the DoD will be taking the word of these so-called experts at face value. It's the Biden administration's opinion that people from the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center are best informed about extremism. The SPLC knows a lot about radicalizing Americans because they've got a track record of enabling that.

In February 2013, per CNN's own reporting, Floyd Corkins was inspired by the SPLC to commit a mass shooting at the Family Research Council in Washington DC. Again, this comes from CNN: "Corkins -- who had chosen the research council as his target after finding it listed as an anti-gay group on the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center -- had planned to stride into the building and open fire on the people inside in an effort to kill as many as possible, he told investigators, according to the court documents." In June 2018, the SPLC had to publicly apologize to Maajid Nawaz and the Quilliam Foundation for defaming them as "anti-Muslim extremists." The DoD should prepare to open the checkbooks, because in the Nawaz settlement, the SPLC had to pay him $3.375 million.

Extremism of all stripes is a serious concern worth tackling. But the Department of Defense's "expert" roster has people demonstrably unfit to lead that discussion.

Unfortunately, it is always the taxpayer that foots the bill for these crimes and not the corrupt government officials.

Communism intensifies.

Now the government will allow non-elected, non-responsible, purely social organizations to imprison you and deny you liberties.

This is the real reason the first amendment (freedom of religion) exists because various sects and churches would brow beat others into conformity.

They’re tightening the noose.

Should the FBI and DOJ stop their investigations of the protest while this Dog and Pony show is going on?

You’re not wrong. Right now it is merely conform or be vilified and demonized, maybe fired. Soon it will be conform or die.

True, they will be woke eco warriors, who will most likely turn on all the evil white extremists that are trying to prevent the perversion of our country into a Marxist dystopia.

Pray for guidance.

No doubt you're right. Instead of developing new weapons, tactics, and training to fight our (very real) enemies... I predict our troops will become adept at setting up refugee camps to handle the massive influx of illegal aliens crossing our border - heck being shipped/flown in by the thousands.

They'll also be adept at setting up similar camps, though not for refugees but for "re-education" or "anti-extremism training" - basically the concentration camps they are going to (try to) ship us off to.

New requirements for the next generation of military aircraft won't be things like stealth or range or carrying capacity - it'll be carbon footprint, recycled material content, green power.

Next gen subs and ships won't be allowed to use sonar or radar because it might harm whales or birds or some such.

Next gen tanks and infantry fighting vehicles will have to be solar powered.


I wish I could say that is satire, but it is coming.
