“Purge” is well chosen, because that’s exactly what this is, a nakedly political purge of the loyal opposition, and the forcible silencing of political dissent in America. It’s plain as day what is coming. What is not clear is whether or not there will be any significant number of Americans who stand for freedom and against tyranny.
And as a minor addendum, of course, Jihad Watch will be one of the many casualties of their campaign to “purge” the Internet of “extremist content.” We stand for the values of the Constitution of the United States and the denial of those rights to no one. We stand for the enforcement of the nation’s existing laws to protect the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law. We do not support the supremacy of any race or any other group. But the Left and Islamic groups have for years insisted that to stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women was “hate.” And they have all the power now.
“White House calls Capitol riot a ‘terrorist attack’, introduces Pentagon anti-radicalization to stop the ‘lethal’ rise of ‘white supremacy’ in the military and pushes to ‘purge’ the internet of ‘extremist content,'” by Rob Crilly, Daily Mail, June 15, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
The Pentagon is to start training for service members leaving the military to prevent them being radicalized by violent extremists, as part of Biden administration’s plan to combat the ‘lethal threat’ of white supremacy that was unveiled on Tuesday morning.
It follows a review that stated the most dangerous elements of the threat today come from white supremacists and anti-government extremists.
The White House also called the Capitol riot a ‘domestic terrorist attack’ in a report released on Tuesday and backed a ‘purge’ of extremist content online.
The strategy includes $100 million for the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security for analysts, prosecutors and investigators.
‘In addition, the Department of Defense is incorporating training for servicemembers separating retirements in the military, who may potentially be targeted by those who seek to radicalise them,’ said an administration official.
‘Domestic terrorist attacks in the United States also have been committed frequently by those opposing our government institutions. In 1995, in the largest single act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, an anti–government violent extremist detonated a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people – including 19 children – and injuring hundreds of others,’ the report says.
‘In 2016, an anti–authority violent extremist ambushed, shot, and killed five police officers in Dallas. In 2017, a lone gunman wounded four people at a congressional baseball practice. And just months ago, on January 6, 2021, Americans witnessed an unprecedented attack against a core institution of our democracy: the U.S. Congress.’
The move follows revelations that a disproportionate number of people arrested during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol were active military personnel or veterans.
Experts in domestic terrorism have long warned that far-right militants were targeting people with military or law enforcement training for recruitment.
The new strategy brackets the Capitol assault – when thousands of Trump supporters descended on Congress – with mass shootings at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and a Walmart in El Paso as part of the country’s ‘tragic history’ of domestic terrorism
The strategy will also address the danger of ‘insider threats’ within the military or security agencies.
‘The Department of Defence, Department of Justice, and Homeland Security Department are similarly pursuing efforts to ensure that domestic terrorists are not employed within our military or law enforcement ranks, and that they improve their screening and vetting processes,’ said the official.
‘Training and resources will be developed for state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement partners as well as for sensitive private sector partners, to enable them to enhance their own employee screening programme, and to prevent individuals who post domestic terrorism threats and being placed in positions of trust.’
The strategy will be launched by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday morning.
In a foreword, President Biden said America could not ignore the threat from domestic terrorism.
‘Together we must affirm that domestic terrorism has no place in our society,’ he said.
‘We must work to root out the hatreds that can too often drive violence.
‘And we must recommit to defend and protect those basic freedoms, which belong to all Americans in equal measure, and which are not only the foundation of our democracy— they are our enduring advantage in the world.’
The strategy comprises four pillars: enhancing analysis and information sharing between agencies; preventing recruitment and mobilization to violence, including targeting the online spread of hate; disrupting and deterring terrorism, including the $100 million cash injection; tackling long-term drivers such as racism and the flow of firearms….

I guess it is called domestic terrorism when it is not the Government doing it. It is not Domestic Terrorism when the Democrats fund ANTIFA and BLM, it’s called peaceful protests. I guess it is not called Domestic Terrorism when one party sabotages a President of the other party, and I also guess it is not Terrorism when a government starts wars that the people didn’t want to be started in their name. These Satanic worshippers need to be removed from OUR government. When the “WE THE PEOPLE” disagree with these Sadistic bunch of Communists that have taken our Country as Hostigesb we are the Millions that are wrong? I think this Country needs to separate from this Government and send the Traitors and supporters of these vile excuses of humans off to the islands that these Billionaires own and put up cages around them along with California.
mortimer says
The Dems want to purge all NON-COMMUNISTS and pious Christians from positions of influence and trust. They want to fill all positions with GODLESS COMMUNISTS filled with anti-bourgeois hatred.
Unfortunately, to be a communist today (after Stalinism and Maoism) you must be delusional and close to certifiably insane. They will not find enough of such people who are willing to die for communism.
The Dems will have to reinstitute CONSCRIPTION in order to fill the ranks with unwilling conscripts whom they may ABUSE and BRAINWASH.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer. As late at the 1930s it might have been possible to be a (still delusional) but innocent Communist. Now after decades of the exposure of Stalin and Mao and the Killing Fields of Pol Pot this is not really possible.
Jerome from Layton says
Today’s military has been “All Vol” since 1973. As career people, they have to “go with the flow” or risk losing their benefits. This all changes if the services become Conscript because draftees don’t have to play those games.
Libertyphobic says
and I know what extremist talk and actions are- so you all best “tow the line”—–Theses people are sick sick sick–It is happening now. Long Time Gone csn you have to speak out, if you dare—FREEDOM of SPEECH matters. thanks RS and all JW’S——Be vigilent and keep a keen sword
Wellington says
This is an invidious, mendacious and freedom-destroying effort by the Left. Effectively, “white supremacists” = conservatives. Profound shame on the Democratic Party for participating in this rot.
Yes, there are indeed some white supremacists in America and they are a marginal amount with virtually no influence in government, academia, the media, the military, et al. But these ARE NOT the “white supremacists” that the Left is going after. No, the Left is equating your standard conservative with white supremacy and if one is not white but nevertheless a conservative they will be ridiculed and denounced as well, an example being Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina who is black being called all kinds of names, including “Uncle Tim” in demagogic imitation of “Uncle Tom,” once he provided the Republican response to Biden’s State of the Union Address and denied that systemic racism exists in America.
The Democratic Party has now effectively morphed into a Far Left party and desires permanent majority rule and will do all that is necessary to achieve this. One of the major initiatives in this deeply disturbing and dishonest effort is to brand conservatives en masse as racists and haters. If this succeeds you can forget about real freedom in America continuing. I didn’t used to despise the Democratic Party and their chief ally, the Main Stream Media (MSM); I “merely” had disagreements with them. But I despise them now.
mortimer says
Black and Asian conservatives will also be persecuted under this communist regimen.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
100% true.
The “white supremacists” that the Left is going after are the nearly 80 million Trump supporters.
Obviously, that includes you and I…
Infidel says
They may not realize it, but the Left is driving this country towards the next civil war. It’ll be interesting to see why they think it’s a war they can win (which is the only reason to start one in the first place)
gravenimage says
Great exchange–all deeply disturbing stuff. And yes–all Conservatives, regardless of ethnicity, will be smeared as “white supremacists”.

“But I despise them now.”

well put, Wellington. in fact, because of their history of racism (Civil War I, origiinal KKK (present almost exclusively in the defeated confederate states), re-constituted KKK (present in all 48 states due to its promotion by woodrow wilson), election theft (tammany hall, the daley machine in chicago, et al.), the fascist regime of FDR, the new fascism, and the 2020 election theft, i *REFUSE* to associate the good name of democracy with these creatures; instead, i call them NAZIcrats, and never has a party more deserved that name.

Don’t forget Andrew Jackson’s Trail of Tears.

Kesselman says
The Western world’s freedom-loving people are up against leftist globalist admirers of the Chinese communists despite the ongoing fight for strategical upper-hands. The Western leftist elite knows the Marxist ideology’s buzz-words and are familiar with a socialist struggling for dominance. It’s shown clearly in the US presidential election 2020 with Democrat epic voter heist. It’s a cynicism a par with the nationalist socialism in totalitarian China.
Keys says
The Democrat Party leaders and their agents are up to no good in their lust for power – and they know it.
So, they are afraid for themselves in the face of the truth. It is somewhat like a drug cartel leader – the more powerful he becomes, the more he ruthlessly eliminates threats to his control while building up his own security and protection.
Power corrupts …
James Lincoln says
Keys,
Makes me think of “The Mirror” (The Twilight Zone 1961 original series)…
Keys says
Thanks for the reply, James Lincoln. I loved watching “The Twilight Zone” – it made me think and imagine in a more secure, more hopeful world.
“A sickness known as hate; not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ – but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don’t look for it in the Twilight Zone – look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether.”

Biden’s handlers unveil program to fight ‘white supremacy’ in military and ‘purge’ Internet of ‘extremist content’
……………………
This *is* a purge–and likely targets anyone who did not vote for Biden (save perhaps a few write-ins for Bernie).
And I *do* worry about Jihad Watch–since it is now considered “extreme” to oppose Jihad terror.. Just madness.
Jerome from Layton says
Yeah, like being on SPLC’s watch list.
Check Burry says
I recon these who the demoncraps decide are extreemists, will be the USA,s finest soldiers, They dems are creating a threat which doesnt exist, there is no doubt in my mind who are the real threat, in far greater numbers than any in the military.

I think the NAZI’s tried to PURGE the Jewish people in 1940.
Jerome from Layton says
Or before, like around 1935.
Jedothek says
An essential part of freedom is free speech. We need free rational dialogue. A part of maintaining freedom is using words correctly rather than as propaganda tools. Let us pledge to use the word terrorism correctly.
terrorism
noun
the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.
The taking of the Bastille was not terrorism, it was revolution.
Jerome from Layton says
Any old head ex-blue suiters remember that self identification form from around 1973? Anybody who wasn’t one of 24 defined ethnic groups was lumped together as “white” under category Y. It was still in my file when I retired 10 years later and some office wienie complained about me selecting X for Other. So, what did they use that form for? Affirmative Action was the popular phrase then.
