The memo, issued by the Department of Defense, is titled “Immediate Actions to Counter Extremism in the Department and the Establishment of the Countering Extremism Working Group,” or the CEWG.
Among other things, the memo explains that the CEWG is tasked with updating the definition of “Extremism” so the military can “revise its definition of prohibited extremist activities among uniformed military personnel.” It will also help the Department of Defense review and update screening questions “about current or previous extremist behavior,” and oversee the implementation of a study “on extremist behavior within our Total Force [i.e., the entire military], to include gaining greater fidelity on the scope of the problem.” The CEWG will also be responsible for developing mid-term and long-term recommendations “for continued engagement on this issue.”
In developing these recommendations, the CEWG will pursue “four initial Lines of Effort.” Those lines of effort will empower it to make recommendations on potential changes to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ); making it easier to report “extremist” behavior; improving the Department of Defense’s ability to “screen” for extremists, including “continuous vetting for national security positions”; and updating the “education and training” on the issue of “extremism” throughout the entire military. The CEWG will also address “gray areas” in training related to “reading, following, and liking extremist material and content in social media forums and platforms.” Combined with the “continuous vetting” for various positions, this arguably entails monitoring everything any service member says, likes, or even reads on the internet—all for the purpose of addressing “extremism.”
So—what does the Department of Defense mean by all this talk of “extremism”? Are they referring to Islamist extremism? Left-wing extremism? Or something else?
We can make an educated guess as to what the Biden Administration means by “extremism” based on the man who was appointed to lead the CEWG. As Fox News and others have reported, his name is Bishop Garrison. The memo describes him as “Senior Advisor on Human Capital and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”
The military is getting its own “equity czar,” in the same way many universities already have. As AMAC Newsline has discussed elsewhere, “equity” in leftist parlance means nothing less than equality of results between different groups—a fundamental tenet of Communism. If group outcomes are not the same, “inequity” remains, and people like Bishop Garrison will be called in to “fix” it, all while blaming it on “extremism.”
But what would Bishop Garrison consider “extreme”? The evidence is frightening.
For example, Garrison tweeted the following about the widely discredited “1619 Project” of the New York Times:
I don’t care what color you are, how you identify, your socio-economic status, or how your family got to this country. Stop what you’re doing & read this & other pieces of the #1619project. These are American stories we all need to hear.
On July 16, 2020, when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that the 1619 Project presented a false view of American history, Garrison tweeted back: “I know this was for an audience of one, but this is pretty silly even for that. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.” [Emphasis added]
Logically, it seems Garrison believes the numerous scholars who have criticized the basic contentions of the 1619 Project—including eminent historians such as Gordon Wood—are also “dangerous.”
As early as June 2020, at the height of the riots following the death of George Floyd, Garrison was on the record appealing to the national security community “to fight racial injustice.”
And in a tweet thread on July 27, 2019, Garrison wrote the following about President Trump and his supporters (emphasis added):
Silence from our Congressional leaders is complicity. He is only going to get worse from here, & his party and its leadership are watching it happen while doing nothing to stop it. Support for him, a racist, is support for ALL his beliefs. He is dragging a lot of bad actors (misogynist, extremists, other racists) out into the light, normalizing their actions. If you support the President, you support that. There is no room for nuance with this. There is no more “but I’m not like that” talk. Because you’re watching what he says. You’re listening to his careful choice of words. And you’re still willing to follow him and/or not speak out. So yes, you’re very much like that. It’s time we all step up.
In other words, Garrison considers President Trump—and all those who supported him—as racists. He doesn’t accept that there can be legitimate policy disagreement on any of this. “There is no room for nuance with this,” he says. Trump is a racist. Supporting him is tantamount to racism. This is the man who will oversee the purge of “extremists” from the United States military. All of those MAGA-hat wearing troops in the rank-and-file had better watch out.
Our Military takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States ????????. This Administration is trying to destroy that in an act that can be interpreted to be that of high treason.
The Marxist Communists in government must be held accountable before they start a Stalin/Mao purge of all that disagree with their edicts. They’re already silencing opposition whenever they can – by way of their media friends like Facebook, etc.
Should the US find itself involved in another war, it’s likely to be annihilated by real soldiers, not indoctrinated sheep.
Once the military is purged, what’s next?
Unbelievable. I spent many years defending this country from tyranny and now there is a political commissar. Worse, this will filter down through the ranks driving good law abiding Americans from the ranks only to be replaced by foreigners who know nothing about freedom. Welcome to socialism/communism and the end of the USA. Look at history, The Roman empire fell when it began being filled with foreigners within its ranks. No one pays any attention anymore.
At the heated pace this Anti-American traitorous Dictatorship is moving, my thoughts on ‘Obama’-nation being the Antichrist is seemingly a reality. He’s the one who started ‘Changing’ America during his terms as Lord of Sodom and Gomorrah renewed. I just know he’s behind all this spiritual destruction of our nation. He detests Israel. There was a photo OP with he and Prime Minister Netanyahu that showed the disdained look on his face at their meeting in the White House. The Prime Minister is a remarkable man and very intuitive, so I’m pretty sure he knows who he’s been dealing with. There’s a passage in the King James Bible that mentions the nation just before it is fitted for the besson of destruction from the Lord will become an ‘abomination.’ Also states, ‘She sits a Queen, that no nation dare even think to touch her or raise a war against her.’ She thinks she is above reproach.
What we are seeing happening is a plan that’s been in the making for many years….they’ve covered all the bases so it doesn’t matter that what they’re doing seems crazy or insane to us. They don’t care because they made sure they would have all the power and authority to throw down this nation. None of it is really just about this nation though, it’s about getting God out of their earshot and eyesight. Tear down Memorials and Monuments reflecting our past mistakes and God given blessed moments in time. I pray that we who look to Him and trust in Him will not have to suffer too much, especially in the way of pain and anguish, but I know that whatever we must go through that He in His mercy will bring us through whether to the time of the Rapture or if He decides to give us one more chance and bring us back to Him. Dear Holy Father, please protect your people Israel and shake with fear to their core, those who wish to wipe Israel off the Planet. In Jesus Holy name, Amen.
This Garrison person is doing the usual Democrat thing…. projecting. He blames President Trump for being an “extremist” when HE is fhe one who fits that description.
He will destroy our military. Our leadership is squishy and mentally impaired. When all patriots are removed from our military and the remainder are in skirts, the country goes down. Only takes one, to use an EMP over our heads and we will be frozen In our tracks, except, of course, those traitor slugs in the DC underground bunkers.
Impeach Biden!! Recall ALL
Democrats in the House of Representatives!!
F that traitor
This is very scary.
It’s funny. Between this and the way they sought to silence President Trump I have to say that I’ve never realized how much they fear us. Next time we gain power we should probably put that to good use.
This country is one step from hell. I believe they found the step.
The illegitimate current regime fears a coup if they continue their overthrow of this Constitutional Republic. That’s why high-ranking officers are quietly being fired first and why the fence was put up around the Capitol grounds after January 6th. I think by the end of this Summer, people who speak out against what the radical socialists are doing will begin to be detained and conservative media will be shut down. .
Biden is smart or whom ever is pulling his strings…. they don’t want to end up in front of a firing squad
How else will he be able to use the military against U.S. citizens. It just seems to be a step toward replacing law enforcement with soldiers.
I can’t understand how this administration can walk away from all the millions of Americans that voted for President Trump. Now we’re all racists ? How did Obama win the presidency? I think a lot of caucasian folks voted for him in the two elections he won. We have to show up at the voting booths in the next 2 elections. This nonsense has got to stop. Now they’re going to question the military’s political views? If they’re for MAGA, they’re racist? Who the —— is running this country? Don’t they get it ? 1/2 the country voted red! God help us if America doesn’t take back the House, Senate, and the Presidency . It seems like they’re making people racists by implementing all this rhetoric. Sad times ????
Here is a novel idea, purge America from the communist,failed lying hypocrite democrat party and useless joebama and hapless harris!
These scum are against the Real American Citizens and are out to destroy them!
Thank you AMAC for showing the truth of what is really happening.
This is so preposterous it is almost comical. Does Joe Biden know that he is being made to look like an idiot? He is just going along and the majority of the nation is just bewildered and befuddled. He is a puppet and actually thinks he is doing good, if he thinks at all. Does he just stay in the basement and dream this stuff up or is someone just feeding it to him and he is saying, “well done.”
Clueless and dangerous. Democrats, with common sense, need to stand up and stand against this stupid, ridiculous extremism on the left, or we are doomed. They are the extremists.
I am old and can see the end of the tunnel. I cannot believe how my magnificent country could succumb to communism in such a short time. I weep for my successors.
Well, this is to be expected, after all! Can’t have “One Party Government” as long as there is a Constitution, and there are those who will stand in defense of it, and are suitably armed and capable of same…
Stalin did the same thing throughout his dictatorship.
This is what Hitler did in Germany to become dah Fuhrer. Is history repeating itself ? I still smell a civil war.
We need to have a military coup and rightfully re-instate Trump. Force would be necessary.
Politicians have a bad habit of dismissing the millions of of men and woman that have served Our Country since it’s inception in every conceivable capacity imaginable, the oath all of US took didn’t in any why shape or form give a expiration date” Most are paying more attention than they care to admit, my only advise to the clown show presently residing in Washington masquerading as our representatives (Thieves INC.) should be extremely careful as to how hard they push ~
THE WHOLE ISSUE here is
JEREMIAH 17: 5 to 11
Until this is realized – man(sorry, people) will just
keep doing wrong – Fools indeed.
IN FOOLS (Joey and the REGIME) THEY TRUST.
RMs 13 shows how the system has reversed itself as to what the
authorities are to be for the people.
NOW they are the enemies of the people (NOT ALL) but sure is
going that way with the (GOV’s Mayors, SCOTA, SEN, CONGRESS, JOEY…..)
MARANATHA
Obama purged 200 Christian generals when he was in office. To take over a nation you need the military, FBI, CIA, Home land security, police on your side to achieve their goal. This is where Trump went wrong; He didn’t get rid of the Obama left overs, and put the Christians back in he would be president.
So your gonna continue voti g 4 the jelly fish spineless rhinos. Who thought trump was so bad. Well they got what they wanted socialism. Hope they realize they will be the first in the GULOG
How about we purge Biden (and Harris) from the white house.
Military personnel must always have citizen right to free thought
Trump had the admiration of the Armed Forces. What happened?
Oh my gosh! Where will this lunacy end? Ben, we need the Lone Ranger…
This started in the Odumbo administration. It’s being accelerated under Biden because key top level commanders have been put in place that will impliment this crap. The purpose is to turn the military into a political organization that will fire on the American people when told to do so.
Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and such!! You are trying to tell people how, what, when, if, and it is wrong!!
If there was ever a time for our Military to take over the government and restore its practices to what it’s meant to be is now. Otherwise we will have a military full of left wing pansies who could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag and defend this country from acts of aggression. God help America.
Let’s just Purge Biden!
Where is the first amendment if the military is in control of what we do, say and think?
This guy is an extreme danger to our Republic.
The very idea is unconstitutional !
Just another step in weakening our National Defense system so that the members of our military will march lockstep to the demo-rats’ socialist agenda. God help us when the best we have will no longer want to serve in a wok military.
Never was in favor of an all volunteer military. Troops know where their pay comes from.
These are the kind of people that Biden has installed into his COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT and Biden and all of his administration need to be removed from their public office’s as soon as possible by voting them out of our so called Government!!
If they aren’t removed by the vote they need to be removed by another means!! All of these COMMUNIST ASS WIPES are trying to make our country into a THIRD WORLD SHIT HOLE run by Biden’s butt buddies the CHINESE and the MUSLIME TERRORIST RUN U.N!!!
The Democrat’s Army of thugs need to be removed from society as well, you know, ANTIFA and BLM who are home grown TERRORISTS and should be removed also, one way or another!!
I would prefer the “another way”, that would save millions of jail time dollars if they were ever put into jail!! With the Liberal morons in Biden’s so called DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE they will never go to jail so we will need to remove them in the most cost effective way!!
Tantamount to Treason.
All these dam politicians need to keep their hands off our military services. The military needs to be kept non-political. We already have seen other organizations in our government that have been turned into complete crap because of politicians. Stop it now!
How long will it be before the Left turns the Marxist military they are creating on the population at large? How long until we see extermination here of folks who don’t like leftist politics? Just asking!
Political Correctness has now metastasized and become virulent. It is readily apparent that it now poses a serious existential threat to our nation, our liberties and our American way of life.
America is under attack on so many levels. These attacks have been well coordinated and perpetrated by Fifth Column elements within our country, and apparently for quite some time, but they have been operating under the radar. Our schools and universities have already been infiltrated and compromised. The lamestream media is continuously and intensively aiding and abetting the Demsheviks with propaganda promoting their dysfunctional and destructive socialist ideology. Look at how many voters were duped during the 2020 election to vote for Comrade Joe and Commissar Harris.
Now that the Demsheviks have hijacked our government, this Fifth Colum activity has surfaced and is now pursued with a “sense of respectability” on all fronts. Their zeal in pursuit of their dysfunctional ideologies has ramped up to the level of unbridled fanaticism.
This article points out that our Military is next in the crosshairs. In essence, if the Demsheviks get their way, our Military will be completely politicized and become little more than a Gulag for the Demsheviks to institute Group Think indoctrination throughout the ranks.
The Demsheviks (Democratic Socialist Bolsheviks) want ideological compliant and fawning wimps, while what Patriotic America wants is warriors who take their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic (and mean it!).
I am a veteran. I took that very oath on March 23, 1967, when I was commissioned as an 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers. Got NEWS for you Demsheviks out there. That oath contained NO EXPIRATION DATE! I am still bound by it, and will be so for as long as I live.
A lot of our more experienced and conservative military leaders were “encouraged” to retire or otherwise leave service under Obama. There was a very large military change of leadership. I have no doubt at all that Biden will continue the process. Call it a “purge” if you like, but some of Obama’s preferred leaders were people who gave Trump a lot of grief and it was political for sure. Everything is political to a liberal/leftist/Democrat.
Senile Joe and his backers–like Soros and Jarrett–don’t necessarily want to eliminate all true patriots but do want to make them subservient and force them to keep quiet about the illegalities of the Marxist idiots!
Wow obiden cant even run this country that’s out of control with democrat paid Antifa and blm groups running loose like animals and now obiden is funding Palestinian terrorism which will spread like wildfire. He wants to turn our powerful feared military into a bunch of pansy asses while weve got crazies everywhere killing and destroying everything in sight…..
