If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions.
Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed.
The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”.
Less than two weeks before Aaron Bushnell walked toward the gates of the Israeli Embassy on Sunday, he and a friend talked by phone about their shared identities as anarchists and what kinds of risks and sacrifices were needed to be effective…
Lupe Barboza, 32, said she met Bushnell in San Antonio in 2022 at an event for a socialist organization. She said they bonded over their politics …
“He was outraged, and he knew that no one who is in charge is listening to the protesters out there every week,” Barboza said. “He knows that he has privilege as a White man and a member of the military.”
But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.
Bushnell was raised in a religious compound in Orleans, Mass., on Cape Cod, according to Susan Wilkins, 59, who said she was a member of the group from 1970 to 2005. She said that she knew Bushnell and his family on the compound and that he was still a member when she left in 2005. Wilkins said she heard through members of Bushnell’s family that he eventually left the group.
The group, called the Community of Jesus....SNIP>>>

None of this was included in the administration’s “extremist” training.
Excellent!
Start up a program to get the rest of them to get on board and light the match!
The background checks do not include certain types of people. Go lookup the military “extremist” training from the current adminstration.
Anarchists, BLM, Marxists, Socialists, Leftists, Democrats, Satanists, etc etc are all severely mentally ill.
Good luck with curing this insanity.
When I joined up, I had to affirm that I was not, nor had ever been, a member of the Communist Party or any other organization that advocated for the violent overthrow of the United States Government. They scrapped that long ago when they dumped the “no homos” requirement (despite a mountain of evidence that so called homosexuals are way more prone to suffer from mental illness), but they still have the oath that every servicemember takes in some form to defend the Constitution. Apparently that has been rendered meaningless. Why this turd wasn’t flushed during his SBI I will never know.
Got what he deserved. No sympathy what so ever.
Anti the Army is busy screening for conservatives.
“...not religion.”
I was interviewed for the clearance of a fellow office worker. The worker was a very competent software guy. But he was a member of a religious cult that held extreme views on so many subjects that none of us would talk to this guy unless we had to. The cult made ordinary conspiracy theorists seem sane. I did warn the interviewer about the cult. I was ignored and the coworker got the clearance. I don’t know if anything bad ever transpired but I felt the possibility was much higher with him than with any other random software guy.
As Richard Pryor said in one of his comedy routines...”Hey buddy, you got a light?”
Now he is just “Smoked Meat” or a beef Jerk(ey)
“Also shows how the military may not come to our rescue as we once safely took for granted.”
People like burnt man walking make up less than 1% of the military.
so we apparently don’t do background checks anymore.
[snip] Biden handily won the Democratic presidential primary in the state, garnering 78.6 percent of the vote.
But a campaign from Israel-Gaza ceasefire activists to get Democrats to select "uncommitted" from the ballot in that primary got some results. Sixteen percent of votes were for the "uncommitted" option, signaling dissension in Democratic ranks over the Middle Eastern conflict. [/snip]
They do ask that question in the process; anti government associations. He lied or some clown did not flag it due to ideological reasons.
bkmk or bttt . . . again
