[quote]Two Marines, two Army ROTC cadets, an Army physician, a
member of the Texas National Guard and one member of the Air
Force all belong to an organization called Identity Evropa
...
There is growing concern about white nationalists connected to
the U.S. armed forces, of which Trump is commander-in-chief.
...
In February, federal authorities arrested Coast Guard Lt.
Christopher Hasson, a white nationalist who prosecutors allege
was stockpiling weapons to massacre leftists and reporters in a
violent plot to establish a “white homeland.”
Last year, a series of investigative reports by ProPublica and
“Frontline” found multiple members of violent neo-Nazi groups
among the ranks of the military.
And a 2017 poll conducted by the Military Times found that
nearly 25 percent of service members surveyed said they
encountered white nationalists within their ranks. That poll
found that 30 percent of troops said they saw white nationalism
as a bigger threat to national security than the wars in Syria,
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Kathleen Belew, the author of Bring the War Home: The White
Power Movement and Paramilitary America, told HuffPost that
white nationalists in our armed forces pose a clear danger.
Veterans and active-duty personnel, she said, have “played an
instrumental role in moving weapons, training and tactics from
military to civilian spaces” and “dramatically escalated the
impact of white power violence on civilian populations.”
Daryle Jenkins, the founder of the anti-racist group One
People’s Project and an Air Force veteran, expressed concern
over the safety of nonwhite and non-Christian members of the
services who have to work alongside white nationalists in
uniform who could “undermine and threaten their fellow soldier,”
he said.
Identity Evropa itself was founded by an ex-Marine.
...
Days after the chat logs were published, Identity Evropa’s
leader, 29-year-old Patrick Casey, a resident of Virginia who
rose to a leadership role after producing videos for a white
nationalist site, announced a rebrand: Identity Evropa is now
the American Identity Movement.
A list of the servicemen in Identity Evropa identified by
HuffPost is below.
Stephen T. Farrea, 29, is a corporal in the Selected Marine
Corps Reserve, a spokesperson for the military branch confirmed.
In the chat log, Farrea used the username SuperTomPerry-RI and
often noted that he was in the military.
...
In the chat logs, Farrea made racist comments. He wrote,
“Portsmouth my town 95 percent white very nice” and said he
couldn’t wait to post “It’s okay to be white” flyers in Rhode
Island.
Also at the gathering in Kentucky was another Marine, Jason
Laguardia, who the Marine Corps confirmed is a lance corporal in
the Selected Marine Corps Reserve.
On Identity Evropa’s Discord server, he goes by the name
Jason-CT.
Jason-CT regularly posted pictures of Identity Evropa flyers and
stickers he placed throughout Connecticut and New York City. He
often targeted college campuses with the propaganda, posting
photos from Yale University, New York University and Baruch
College.
...
One of the most active posters in the chat logs was Lawrence of
Eurabia.
Lawrence of Eurabia referred to biographical information in his
chats. He said he is a member of the ROTC program at Montana
State University in Bozeman and is in the Army National Guard.
He also said that he was a wrestler in high school from a town
in Montana and that his dad worked as a stonemason there.
Those details match publicly available information about Jay C.
Harrison, 20, who the Army confirmed is in the ROTC program at
Montana State University at Bozeman and is a member of the Army
National Guard.
...
“Go play niggerball if you aren’t tough enough for wrestling,”
Harrison wrote in one post.
...
Last fall, Identity Evropa flyers and stickers were posted
across Brighton, New York, a town just south of Rochester.
Police investigated, pulling fingerprints from the stickers, and
this month announced they found a match: a 23-year-old
University of Rochester student named Christopher Hodgman, who
the Army confirmed is an ROTC cadet and a member of the Army
Reserve.
It’s possible that Hodgman also posted on Discord under the name
Alex Kolchak-NY.
Alex Kolchak-NY wrote often about Russian politics and history.
Since-deleted information on Hodgman’s Linkedin profile notes
that he is a Russian studies major.
...
Christopher Cummins, 44, is a lieutenant colonel physician in
the Army Reserve. The website of the Military Order of Stars and
Bars, a neo-Confederate organization, lists Cummins’ email
address as giuseppe398@*****.com.
...
In the chat messages, giuseppe398 bragged about posting Identity
Evropa flyers in Mississippi and Jackson and told the Identity
Evropa members that he likes Tennessee because it is
“conservative & Christian - implicitly white.”
...
A user going by Kane in the chat logs described himself as
married and residing in Texas. He wrote he was in Houston during
Hurricane Harvey and that his dad was from a town in Montana.
That biographical information matches details about 25-year-old
Joseph Kane, a resident of Denton, Texas, who joined the Texas
Army National Guard in 2016 and is currently assigned to the
636th Military Intelligence Battalion, a National Guard
spokesperson confirmed.
Before joining the Texas National Guard, Kane served in the Army
for four years as an intelligence specialist and was at one
point deployed to Kosovo.
On Facebook, Kane liked a Facebook post by a known Identity
Evropa member and has shared the “It’s okay to be white” meme,
popular among white supremacists.
...
In an August 2018 message posted in the chats, a user named
DannionP introduced himself as Dannion Phillips of Oklahoma. He
then made arrangements to pay his membership dues.
...
In October, he posted photos of Identity Evropa stickers that he
put up around Oklahoma City.[/quote]
How many more are in there that we don't yet know about? Those
25% who claim to have encountered WNs in their ranks should not
wait to speak up about who they are. The longer they are allowed
to remain undetected and uneliminated, the more they will spread
their poison.

[quote]The brothers couch their militancy in their background as
Marines, and in their book they write, “The day is soon coming
when the Commandant of the Marine Corps, or some other great
hero, will stage a coup, declare martial law, expel or eradicate
all the liberals and traitors, and reconstitute the
Republic.”[/quote]

I hate the term "white sharia" (used by the Alt-Right to refer
to their desire to treat women as property) because it suggests
that actual sharia is similar, when it is not:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia
[quote]According to Ottoman records, non-Muslim women took their
cases to a sharia court when they expected a more favorable
outcome on marital, divorce and property questions than in
Christian and Jewish courts.[89]
...
In family matters the sharia court was seen as a place where the
rights of women could be asserted against their husband's
transgressions.[3][/quote]
In a better informed society, this would discredit the Alt-Right
enough that it would cease to be taken seriously anymore, but in
the ultra-ignorant society we unfortunately now live in, this
has become a successful tactic to further misrepresent Islam.
The correct term for what the Alt-Right wants is simply "white
masculinity". Even Biden gets this:
nypost.com/2019/03/26/joe-biden-blames-sexual-assaults-on-white-
mans-culture/amp/
[quote]Women have been suffering in “a white man’s culture” —
which has continually turned a blind eye to sexual assault and
misconduct, according to former Vice President Joe Biden, who
propped up Anita Hill as an example.
...
Biden, who was Judiciary chairman for the 1991 Clarence Thomas
confirmation hearings, got criticized heavily for his handling
of the Hill situation. Thomas was accused of harassing Hill, who
is black, while he was her supervisor.
“Last fall, you saw it all over again in the Kavanaugh hearing,”
Biden blasted. “Almost 30 years…the culture — the institutional
culture — has not changed. We have an obligation to change the
culture in this country.”
Later on during his speech, Biden brought up a widespread
misconception about the “rule of thumb” being an old reference
to British common law and it’s tolerance of domestic abuse.
“This is English jurisprudential culture — a white man’s
culture,” Biden said, describing how people think the “rule of
thumb” was a law that allowed husbands to beat their wives with
sticks no thicker than their thumbs.[/quote]
So, why does ISIS' conception of "sharia" match the Alt-Right's
interpretation? Simple:
[quote]Starting from the 17th century, European powers began to
extend political influence over lands ruled by Muslim dynasties,
and by the end of the 19th century, much of the Muslim world
came under colonial domination.
...
Hastings also commissioned a translation of the classic manual
of Hanafi fiqh, Al-Hidayah, from Arabic into Persian and then
English, later complemented by other texts.[96][97] These
translations enabled British judges to pass verdicts in the name
of Islamic law based on a combination of sharia rules and common
law doctrines, and eliminated the need to rely on consultation
by local ulema, whom they mistrusted. In the traditional Islamic
context, a concise text like Al-Hidayah would be used as a basis
for classroom commentary by a professor, and the doctrines thus
learned would be mediated in court by judicial discretion,
consideration of local customs and availability of different
legal opinions that could fit the facts of the case. The British
use of Al-Hidayah, which amounted to an inadvertent codification
of sharia, and its interpretation by judges trained in Western
legal traditions anticipated later legal reforms in the Muslim
world.[96][98]
...
This, together with their conception of Islamic law as a
collection of inflexible rules, led to an emphasis on
traditionalist forms of sharia that were not rigorously applied
in the pre-colonial period
...
Many Muslims today believe that contemporary sharia-based laws
are an authentic representation of the pre-modern legal
tradition. In reality, they generally represent the result of
extensive legal reforms made in the modern era.[101][/quote]
In short, Western civilization poisons everything it touches.

[quote]The Ministry of Defence has launched an urgent
investigation after a video emerged via social media that shows
members of the parachute regiment firing at a poster of Jeremy
Corbyn at a target range in Kabul.
...
Labour sources highlighted that Corbyn and other Labour figures
have been targeted in recent weeks and months, while the party
pressure group Momentum said it reflected the “radicalising
effect the rightwing press is having”.
...
It is not the first time soldiers have been embroiled in a
political row in recent months. An investigation was conducted
in the autumn after Tommy Robinson, the far-right activist,
posted an image of himself surrounded by a group of grinning
trainee soldiers.
...
Users of the Army Rumour Service, which describes itself as “the
British army’s busiest and best online community”, expressed
sympathy for the paras shown in the video in anonymous comments.
“Shame it wasn’t him in person!” said one post under the
username ex_colonial, under an long online thread criticising
the Labour leader.[/quote]
Do there also exist other soldiers who practice shooting at
pictures of Robinson? If not, this is not a good sign.....

And then there's veterans:

ash-051139032.html
[quote]SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Iraq War veteran deliberately
drove into a group of pedestrians because he thought some of the
people were Muslim, California authorities said Friday.
Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, faces eight counts of attempted murder
for injuring eight people, including four who remain
hospitalized. The most seriously injured is a 13-year-old
Sunnyvale girl of South Asian descent who is in a coma with
severe brain trauma.
"New evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted
the victims based on their race and his belief that they were of
the Muslim faith," Sunnyvale police chief Phan Ngo said.[/quote]
At least this one has been arrested. But how many more are out
there?
(As mentioned previously, veterans are often the ones who train
militias, so there is at least some likelihood that they will
spread rightism to their trainees at the same time. The only
counter to this is to form explicitly leftist militias, so that
rightists at least do not absorb the entirety of those inclined
towards this field.)

leadership in the hate group in April, following Huffington Post
stories of 11 other service members under investigation for ties
to Identity Evropa, another white supremacist group.
...
A handful of reports of service members’ ties to white
nationalist or supremacist groups have popped up in recent
years, while a Military Times poll found that nearly a quarter
of troops had seen evidence of white nationalism among their
fellow troops.[/quote]
The popular association of the armed forces with bigotry sure
doesn't help either:

[quote]While at VFA-106, Savage said he was given the call sign
"Radio," a reference to a movie about a mentally challenged
black man. Other black students, he said, got call signs
including "8 Ball" and "Kazaam," the latter a reference to a
character played by Shaquille O'Neal.
Other minority pilots in the squadron also gave evidence of race
influencing call signs. Another pilot, a lieutenant commander,
said he also received the call sign "Radio" at his first
squadron in the fleet, but later had it changed to "MC," short
for "MC Hammer," in reference to a childhood nickname. A
commander said his call sign was "Snoop," in reference to "poor
rapping abilities." And a third pilot, a lieutenant, said his
call sign was "Ruby Rhod," a reference to a Chris Tucker
character from the movie "The Fifth Element." Only one black
pilot interviewed had a call sign -- "Mr. Bucket" -- with no
racial connotation.
The two pilots also submitted logs from a WhatsApp chat group
called "Pure Bloods," in which instructor pilots disparaged them
and their performance. In the chat, one of the instructors used
the eggplant emoji to refer to the Marine pilot. It was a visual
representation of a racial slur, the pilot alleged.
...
At the heart of Savage and the Marine pilot's complaints,
though, were allegations that they were assessed unfairly
compared to their fellow student pilots, and that grade sheets
were actually altered after the fact to make their performance
appear worse than it was.[/quote]

traveling with the president on his trip to Japan, where he
stopped at a U.S. military base in Yokosuka
...
After the photos surfaced online, leftist commentators and
pundits began calling for the airmen to be punished, claiming
they had violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)
for engaging in political activity while in uniform.
...
Another leftist dug up photos to confirm whether the patches
were actually real, and found they have been worn since at least
September 2017:
One professor worried that the military was not loyal to
civilian control and the Constitution, and was now “part of a
presidential personality cult”
Leftists were similarly outraged when Trump visited a U.S. base
in Iraq last year for Christmas. Several troops had “Make
America Great Again” hats, which drew claims they had violated
UMCJ again.[/quote]

www.salon.com/2019/07/05/the-curious-case-of-eddie-gallagher-did
-donald-trump-help-a-navy-seal-get-away-with-murder/
[quote]Aside from hosting an unprecedented Fourth of July
celebration that doubled as a military parade on the National
Mall, President Trump made another curious decision involving
the military this week. He congratulated himself for helping to
free a Navy SEAL officer who had been accused of a dozen
separate crimes of war.
Eddie Gallagher, who until this week was a chief petty officer
in the Navy, was accused of stabbing a teenage POW to death
while the teenager was being treated by a U.S. medic in or near
Mosul, Iraq, in 2017. Video images show that the bleeding
fighter, who was thought to be between 12 and 17, was brought to
the SEAL platoon for treatment. Two of Gallagher’s fellow SEALs
testified in a military court that Gallagher unexpectedly
stabbed the young ISIS fighter several times in the neck and
side as a SEAL medic was treating him. Members of the platoon
then posed for photos with Gallagher as he held the child
soldier’s head up by the hair with one hand, and held his knife
in the other.
Images also show that Gallagher performed his re-enlistment
ceremony next to a dead body as another SEAL member held an
American flag. At trial, prosecutors presented Gallagher’s text
messages, one of which said: “Good story behind this. Got him
with my hunting knife.”
Nearly a dozen members of Gallagher's platoon testified during
the trial against him, but a jury of Gallagher’s military peers
found him not guilty of pre-meditated murder this week.
In a bombshell move, one of the SEALs who was granted immunity
to testify against Gallagher instead testified that he was the
one who killed the teen, blocking his breathing tube as an act
of mercy. Because the charges against Gallagher weren't
manslaughter or attempted murder or assault with a deadly
weapon, but rather first-degree murder, he was found not guilty.
...
Gallagher was also charged with attempted murder in another
case. He was court-martialed on 12 counts in all.
Describing his behavior as reckless and bloodthirsty, several
men from Gallagher’s platoon said he gunned down a 15-year-old
girl walking along a riverbank in Afghanistan and an old man
carrying a water jug. They testified that Gallagher regularly
fired into civilian crowds.
...
One of the seven Navy SEAL commandos from Team 7’s Alpha Platoon
told investigators that senior leaders, who were allies of
Gallagher, told commandos to “stop talking about it.”
...
He was found not guilty on the charges of shooting civilians,
despite testimony from seven other SEALs, because the trial
happened too late to preserve useful forensic evidence.
...
One of Gallagher's lawyers is also on President Trump's legal
team, and thanked the president for bringing "this case out of
the shadows and into the light" in an appearance on Fox News
following the verdict. Gallagher thanked Trump on Fox News “for
intervening when he did."
The president congratulated Gallagher following his appearance
on Fox News on Wednesday, tweeting: “Glad I could help!”
Trump is either taking credit for the outcome of a criminal
trial or admitting he interfering with it. Either possibility is
deeply concerning.
...
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a frequent Fox News guest who
called the military justice system "corrupt," admitted to taking
a photo with a dead combatant during his time as a Marine, and
essentially dismissed Gallagher’s war crime as normal.
In May, after pardoning a former U.S. soldier convicted in 2009
of killing an Iraqi prisoner, Trump told Fox News that he was
"taking a broad look at veterans jailed for battlefield crimes
and considering granting more of them similar relief."[/quote]
So, as if all the above is not bad enough, now we have this:
www.npr.org/2019/08/01/747144221/navy-rescinds-awards-to-prosecu
tors-in-case-of-seal-acquitted-of-murdering-capti
[quote]Military awards given to prosecutors in a case against a
SEAL who was acquitted of murder in the death of a prisoner in
Iraq have been revoked by the Navy's top official after
President Trump tweeted Wednesday that the commendations should
be withdrawn.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer ordered seven Navy Achievement
Medals and three letters of commendation given to the
prosecution team be rescinded, Navy spokesman Cmdr. Jereal
Dorsey said Wednesday, hours after a pair of scathing tweets
from the president.
...
Former Pentagon spokesman David Lapan, a retired Marine colonel,
told The Associated Press that the personal intervention of the
president represented the "further politicization of the
military,"[/quote]
So not only are corrupt military personnel who enjoy killing
"non-whites" for fun being sent a message that they should feel
free to continue doing so (so long as they know how to cover for
one another and exploit legal loopholes), but also conscientious
military personnel are being sent a message that they should not
even try to prosecute their colleagues. Could Trump be angling
to have the corrupt fraction of the military to support his own
interests in the event of an emergency (e.g. if the 2020
election result is contested for fraud)?

[quote]Months after a series of reports exposed a dozen known or
suspected members of white nationalist groups in the U.S.
military, officials have confirmed that four of those servicemen
have separated from the armed forces, while another four have
been allowed to remain in the Army.
...
Two Marines, Lance Cpls. Logan Piercy and Jason Laguardia, were
“administratively separated” from the military in May after
HuffPost exposed them as members of Identity Evropa, a Marines
Corps spokesman confirmed last month.
...
Another Identity Evropa member, Jonathan Gould, is no longer in
the military. Army spokeswoman Cathy Brown Vandermaarel
confirmed that he left in April, shortly after an anonymous
group of anti-fascist activists in the Pacific Northwest exposed
his membership. However, she would not elaborate on the
circumstances of his departure.
It appears that Gould is still active in white nationalist
organizations. A photo that anti-fascist activists posted to
Twitter in May showed him at the American Renaissance white
supremacist conference in Tennessee.
...
The fourth Identity Evropa member to leave the military is
20-year-old Jay Harrison, an ROTC cadet at Montana State
University.
...
In Houston, another Identity Evropa member has been allowed to
remain in the armed services.
Joseph Kane, who served as an Army intelligence specialist for
four years before joining the Texas National Guard, often posted
white nationalist content to his social media accounts. Although
he has denied being a white nationalist, Kane was active in
Identity Evropa’s private message groups.
“Joseph Kane is still a member of the Texas National Guard,” a
spokesperson for the Texas National Guard told HuffPost.
...
In western New York, 23-year-old Christopher Hodgman has been
allowed to remain in the Army despite being caught disseminating
Identity Evropa propaganda in a suburb of Rochester.
Earlier this year, police found Hodgman’s fingerprints on
Identity Evropa flyers that had been placed on surfaces across
the town of Brighton. Hodgman, an Army private and ROTC cadet at
the University of Rochester, was charged with a series of town
code violations. In May, he accepted what’s called an
“adjournment in contemplation of dismissal” — meaning that if he
stays out of trouble with the law for six months, the citations
will disappear from his record.
HuffPost’s previous reporting showed that Hodgman frequently
posted on Identity Evropa’s private message server, sharing
photos of the flyers he’d distributed.
Vandermaarel, the Army spokeswoman, said the investigation into
Hodgman’s Identity Evropa ties is “complete,” and that Hodgman
is still an ROTC cadet and a specialist in the Army Reserve.
...
Andrew James Schmidt, a 19-year-old member of Identity Evropa
who had posted photos of fliers he’d placed on the University of
Minnesota campus, has been allowed to remain in the Minnesota
National Guard because the activity occurred before he joined
the military.
...
In the Air Force, an investigation is still underway into Master
Sgt. Cory Allen Reeves and Airman 1st Class (E-3) Dannion
Phillips.
Stationed at Schriever Air Force Base near Colorado Springs,
Reeves posted photos of himself leaving Identity Evropa flyers
outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing
Center and Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado.
Reeves’ lawyer, also a member of Identity Evropa, didn’t respond
to a request for comment.[/quote]
Whoever allowed them to continue to serve should be charged with
treason. How can anyone loyal to "Evropa" be trusted in the US
military?!

When I served in the U.S. Army I was surrounded by more
non-Whites than actual "whites", so there are some positive
aspects about the U.S. Armed Forces. However, I am reminded of
an Army saying now, "It only takes one shit-bag to fuck it up
for everyone else." They used that saying when they collectively
punished us for one persons mistake, a very Judeo-Western way of
handing out punishment unfortunately. But the saying is
noteworthy, minus the collective punishment that often came
along with it.

This time we got lucky, but it is foolish to believe we can

The only serious countermeasure is to massacre WNs in larger

attack by them ends up damaging them far more than it damages
us. Only then will they think twice about attacking again.
This is also why I keep saying all refugees should be drafted
into military service in exchange for citizenship. This would
enable required troop numbers to still be filled while greatly
reducing the risk of recruiting WNs.

targets including Heiko Maas, the foreign minister, former

This is why I keep saying that EU militaries needs to be
recruiting actual refugees (in exchange for citizenship), as
they are by far the least likely to have far-right leanings. In
times like these, every measure should be taken to ensure that
militaries would not side with the far-right in the event of
civil unrest, and populating them overwhelmingly with refugees
is easily the single best measure available towards this
objective.

In other words, they are being held up as examples to emulate.
In which case the only correct response is for us to use these
same specimens as examples of what should happen to war
criminals who escape punishment by the law.

[quote]West Point and Annapolis officials are trying to
determine the motives of service academy students who flashed
hand signs on national television Saturday that in certain
contexts are associated with “white power.”
The hand sign appeared to be displayed both by West Point cadets
and Annapolis midshipmen during a broadcast of the annual
Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, but U.S. Military
Academy officials haven't yet determined their intent, according
to a West Point spokesman. A U.S. Naval Academy spokeswoman said
the academy is also checking on the matter.
...
Last year, the Coast Guard came under criticism when a member of
the service used a similar hand sign while in the background of
a television broadcast. Coast Guard leadership issued an
official reprimand to the officer who used the hand sign.
The hand sign used is what looks like the “okay” sign, where the
thumb and forefinger make a circle and the remaining three
fingers are fully extended.[/quote]
If the military were filling its ranks with refugees instead (as
I have recommended for years), it would be extremely unlikely
that we would have to worry about this problem.

litary-bill-aimed-at-screening-for-extremists-104500620.html
[quote]A measure in the National Defense Authorization Act meant
to keep white nationalists out of the U.S. military no longer
mentions “white nationalists” after Congress quietly altered the
text after it initially passed the House.
The change, which has not been previously reported, could water
down a House-passed amendment meant to address the threat of
white nationalists in the military. The House language was
specifically drafted to encourage screening for white
nationalist beliefs in military enlistees. But after the
Republican-controlled Senate passed its own version of the
massive military spending bill and the two chambers’ bills were
reconciled, the final NDAA instead requires the Department of
Defense to study ways to screen military enlistees for
“extremist and gang-related activity.”
...
Stripping the specific mention of “white nationalists” from the
legislation could leave the door open for more white
nationalists to join the military and could leave the U.S.
military off the hook for what many critics say are lackluster
efforts to screen enlistees for white nationalist beliefs.
...
Aguilar said the fact that the final NDAA does not mention
“white nationalism” indicates the Senate may not be taking white
nationalism seriously.
In a statement to HuffPost, he noted that white nationalists
have “successfully enlisted in our military in order to gain
access to combat training and weaponry.”
...
Academics and law enforcement officials have long warned of the
specific threat posed by white nationalists who join the
military, where they receive combat training they can use to
inflict violence on civilians.[/quote]

[quote]Membership in a white supremacist or neo-Nazi group won't
necessarily get a U.S. service member tossed out of the
military, defense officials told a House subcommittee Tuesday.
...
The officials also told a hearing of the House Armed Services
subcommittee on personnel that they had no reliable data on how
many service members had been administratively discharged for
espousing white supremacist ideology or how many potential
recruits had been barred from enlisting.
The testimony appeared to stun several members of the committee.
"I am flummoxed by what I've heard today," Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-California, chair of the Subcommittee, said after questioning
Robert Grabosky, deputy director of Law Enforcement at the Air
Force Office of Special Investigations.
Grabosky said that membership in a white nationalist group "is
not prohibited," but "active participation" in the group could
lead to an administrative discharge, at a commander's
discretion.
"I find that astonishing," Speier said. "If you're a member,
that's an activity. I think we need to take a look at that."
...
Several of the subcommittee members pointed to the case of Air
Force Master Sgt. Cory Reeves, allegedly a leader in the
Colorado branch of the supremacist group Identity Evropa, who
posted racist memes and spread far-right propaganda.
In November 2019, the Air Force demoted Reeves to technical
sergeant, but he was initially allowed to remain in the service.
In December, the Air Force announced that proceedings had begun
to dismiss him from the service.
In a separate panel at the hearing, advocacy groups warned of
the spread of white supremacist and hate group ideology in the
military.
"I want to start by saying that, right now, the white
supremacist movement in the United States is surging and
presents a distinct and present danger to this country and its
institutions, including the U.S. Armed Forces," said Lecia
Brooks of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"Recent investigations have revealed dozens of veterans and
active-duty servicemembers who are affiliated with white
supremacist activity," Brooks said.[/quote]

d-military-information-was-leader-of-white-nationalist-group
[quote]A soldier charged with sharing military information that
threatened New Zealand's security was leading a growing white
nationalist movement.
The 27-year-old soldier, who has name suppression, was arrested
in December at Linton Military Camp in circumstances that were
shrouded in secrecy.
The man had been planning a trip to Russia for Christmas Stuff
revealed at the time. He is now being supervised by the Defence
Force while awaiting a military court trial.
He is charged with accessing a computer system for a dishonest
purpose and for disclosing information that prejudiced the
security or defence of New Zealand. It is not known who he
supplied the information to.
Stuff has confirmed the soldier was behind an online profile
named Johann Wolfe, a self-described co-founder of the white
nationalist group the 'Dominion Movement', which subscribed to
the same identitarian politics as the March 15 terror suspect.
The group shut down its internet presence in the hours after the
Christchurch mosque attacks, but a seemingly identical group -
'Action Zealandia' - has since emerged and earlier this month
vandalised signage at a National Party office in Auckland.
The soldier was also questioned by police after March 15, Stuff
has previously reported.
The soldier, under the pseudonym, was interviewed by the
Australian alt-right podcast station The Convict Report produced
by white nationalist group The Dingoes — which also shut down
after the March 15 attack.
A source close to the soldier has confirmed to Stuff the soldier
is the person named Johann Wolfe in the podcast interview.
...
The soldier told the interviewers of their success at gaining
new recruits for the white nationalist group.
"We're getting a reputation. We have a well-fostered public
image of being well-natured and well-intentioned," he said.
"We focus on the positives rather than the negatives: the love
of our own culture and our own heritage, instead of what we hate
about other races - which is an easy trap to fall into."
He describes his own entry to the far-right ideology, saying he
found solace in online humour after feeling "beaten over the
head" for being white.
The soldier then spends much of the interview making what many
would regard as racist remarks about Māori, and talks
"extreme anti-European agitation" from the Government.
The Dominion Movement group, on its website, claimed meetings
with both Australian counterparts from 'Identity Australia' and
with Kerry Bolton, the former secretary of the white nationalist
group National Front.
The soldier's involvement in white nationalist groups did not
end after March 15.
His arrest first came to light after members of the far-right
Christian group Wargus Christi began talking about a member
being arrested in a chatroom on the Telegram app.
"One of our boys has been arrested for reasons still unknown," a
message from the Wargus Christi group read.
Whether he was involved with Action Zealandia, an apparent
successor to the Dominion Movement, is unknown.
Members of Action Zealandia group mask their identities on
online posts, and have been plastering their white nationalist
message in cities around the country.
On January 10, the group posted a series of images showing its
members defacing signs at the National Party's Greenlane office,
due to it housing the office of Chinese MP Jian Yang.[/quote]
Doxxing required.

n-allegedly-sharing-white-supremacist-material-online.html
[quote]Lance Cpl. Thomas Cade Martin, 23, posted what some
experts called "white supremacist" material across at least two
social media accounts over the last two years.
...
The material includes a flyer with the white supremacist slogan
"not stolen, conquered" over a map of the continental U.S. That
flyer has been associated with the white nationalist "Patriot
Front" organization. Identical flyers were anonymously
distributed at San Diego State University in 2018.
His pages also include stylized patriotic graphics and photo
illustrations of early 20th Century nationalistic propaganda
which experts say are similar to those affiliated with the
American Identity Movement, a white supremacist organization
that changed its name from Identity Evropa after its involvement
in planning the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville,
Va., where a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd and
killed an anti-racist activist.
Martin describes himself on his Twitter account as a
"nationalist" and says he is the chairman of a group called the
"U.S. Nationalist Initiative." Its Facebook page has more than
1,400 followers.
...
Martin is assigned to the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines at Camp
Pendleton — the same unit in which several Marines were arrested
in July for allegedly transporting illegal immigrants and for
drug offenses. Martin was not among those arrested.
...
"'Conquered, not stolen' is a white nationalist belief, and
despite the fancy window dressing and sharp suits, his messaging
is indistinguishable from the messaging of orgs like Patriot
Front, Identity Evropa (now known as the American Identity
Movement) or the Rise Above Movement," she said.
Martin's own comments are suggestive of ideology as well,
experts said.
In one post on his personal page, a photo of himself in uniform
with a rifle, Martin says he's "dreaming about my future blue
eyed blonde haired mistress."
In the comments on the post, he explains "I'd just like to help
contribute to the preservation of my lineage."
In a comment thread on the group's page, Martin "liked" a
comment from another user that alludes to a slogan called the 14
words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future
for white children."
...
"Sacrifice what you believe in ... or get called racist," Martin
wrote. "I know what my choice is gonna be."[/quote]
Leftists take note. Calling racists racists will not stop them.
Bullets will.
[quote]A review of the nationalist organization's website shows
only one other person in leadership — Everett Corley, listed as
the group's vice chairman.
Corley is a realtor who ran for Congress in Kentucky in 2016 and
became embroiled in controversy around the removal of a
Confederate monument at the University of Louisville. Corley
called a professor a "damn dirty black bastard" in a Facebook
post he later deleted, according to the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
...
Simi said knowing Martin is currently armed and deployed with
the Marines is worrisome.
"It makes me nervous, knowing he endorses the 14 words and is
walking around with a firearm overseas," Simi said.[/quote]
At least he is outnumbered overseas. How many more like him are
there on US soil? That's what we should be worried about!

[quote]The California National Guard is investigating a member’s
possible ties to the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group, after he
posted a photo of himself standing next to a military vehicle
inscribed with one of the group’s slogans while patrolling
anti-racist protests in Los Angeles last month.
Anonymous anti-fascist activists shared the photo with HuffPost,
which Sgt. Brian Jackson posted on Facebook last month. After
HuffPost inquired about the image, a spokesperson for the
California National Guard confirmed on Wednesday that Jackson, a
motor transport operator from Bakersfield, California, is now
under investigation for ties to the extremist group.
...
Jackson has not, however, been suspended during the
investigation, Shiroma said. It’s unclear how long the
investigation will last.
Jackson was among the roughly 1,000 armed California National
Guard troops sent to Los Angeles County in early June to quell
the uprising against police brutality, one of many such
demonstrations that have swept the country in response to a
series of high-profile killings of Black Americans at the hands
of law enforcement.
“Hopefully a quiet night in Canoga Park,” read the caption
Jackson posted with the photo on June 2, referring to the Los
Angeles neighborhood.
The message inscribed on the vehicle, “POYB 2020,” is an acronym
for “Proud Of Your Boy,” a Proud Boys slogan derived from a song
in Disney’s ”Aladdin.”
Some of Jackson’s Facebook friends wrote “POYB” and “Uhuru” — a
common Proud Boys chant — in the comments below his photo.
The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the Proud Boys as a hate
group. Its members are explicitly anti-feminist, anti-Muslim and
anti-immigrant. While the group publicly claims to reject the
so-called alt-right and says it allows Black and brown members,
its ranks have included many white nationalists and its founder,
Gavin McInnes, is deeply racist.
...
After HuffPost contacted Jackson this week, he replaced his
Facebook profile photo — a graphic with the words “ZERO WHITE
GUILT” — with an image of the comedian Will Ferrell. (Proud Boys
often describe themselves as “anti-white guilt.”)
...
Last month, Right Wing Watch reported that a member of the Ohio
National Guard, who had been sent to Washington, D.C., to police
protests there, was a white supremacist YouTuber. “They
activated my unit and we’re getting real ammunition to shoot and
kill,” the Ohio guardsman, Shandon Simpson, allegedly wrote on
the social media platform Telegram ahead of his deployment.
“Rahowa,” Simpson added, using the popular fascist shorthand for
“racial holy war.” The FBI later said Simpson had been removed
from the protests in D.C. and sent home. Simpson has since said
he was discharged from the Ohio National Guard.
Vice News also reported that at least one member of a private
chat group for so-called Boogaloo Bois — a far-right movement
hoping to hasten a violent civil war in the U.S. — claimed to be
a Pennsylvania National Guardsman getting ready to deploy to
protests in Philadelphia.
And in Wilmington, North Carolina, last month, three white
police officers — who haven’t been connected to any extremist
groups — were fired after they were caught on a patrol car
camera using racial slurs while discussing murdering Black
protesters.
“We are just going to go out and start slaughtering them fucking
niggers,” one officer said.
“Wipe ’em off the fucking map,” the same officer said of Black
Americans. “That’ll put ’em back about four or five
generations.”[/quote]

[quote]Germany has a problem. For years, politicians and
security chiefs rejected the notion of any far-right
infiltration of the security services, speaking only of
“individual cases.” The idea of networks was dismissed. The
superiors of those exposed as extremists were protected. Guns
and ammunition disappeared from military stockpiles with no real
investigation.
The government is now waking up. Cases of far-right extremists
in the military and police, some hoarding weapons and
explosives, have multiplied alarmingly. The nation’s top
intelligence officials and senior military commanders are moving
to confront an issue that has become too dangerous to ignore.
The problem has deepened with the emergence of the Alternative
for Germany party, or AfD, which legitimized a far-right
ideology that used the arrival of more than 1 million migrants
in 2015 — and more recently the coronavirus pandemic — to
engender a sense of impending crisis.
Most concerning to authorities is that the extremists appear to
be concentrated in the military unit that is supposed to be the
most elite and dedicated to the German state, the special
forces, known by their German acronym, the KSK.
This week, Germany’s defense minister, Annegret
Kramp-Karrenbauer, took the drastic step of disbanding a
fighting company in the KSK considered infested with extremists.
Little Sheep, the sergeant major whose weapons stash was
uncovered in May, was a member.
Some 48,000 rounds of ammunition and 62 kilograms, or about 137
pounds, of explosives have disappeared from the KSK altogether,
she said.
Germany’s military counterintelligence agency is now
investigating more than 600 soldiers for far-right extremism,
out of 184,000 in the military. Some 20 of them are in the KSK,
a proportion that is five times higher than in other units.
But German authorities are concerned that the problem may be far
larger and that other security institutions have been
infiltrated as well.
...
“Once they really started looking, they found a lot of cases,”
said Konstantin von Notz, deputy president of the intelligence
oversight committee in the German parliament. “When you have
hundreds of individual cases, it begins to look like we have a
structural problem. It is extremely worrying.”
Von Notz pointed out that Brendan Tarrant, who massacred 51
Muslim worshippers last year at two mosques in Christchurch, New
Zealand, had traveled Europe a year earlier and included an
ominous line in his manifesto.
“I would estimate the number of soldiers in European armed
forces that also belong to nationalist groups to number in the
hundreds of thousands, with just as many employed in law
enforcement positions,” Tarrant had written.
Investigators, von Notz said, “should take these words
seriously.”
But investigating the problem is itself fraught: Even the
military counterintelligence agency, charged with monitoring
extremism inside the armed forces, may be infiltrated.
A high-ranking investigator in the extremism unit was suspended
in June after sharing confidential material from the May raid
with a contact in the KSK, who in turn passed it on to at least
eight other soldiers, tipping them off that the agency might
turn its attention to them next.
...
“These are battle-hardened men who know how to evade
surveillance because they are trained in conducting surveillance
themselves,” he added. “What we are dealing with is an enemy
within.”[/quote]
I started warning about this many years ago. No one believed me.
I also provided the solution: populate the military almost 100%
with refugees (who will almost certainly be anti-AfD). If my
solution had been implemented, we would not have this problem
today.
As things stand now, this is why US troops must not be withdrawn
from Germany, and if anything should be reinforced. In the event
of a mutiny, US troops could be needed to crush it.

[quote]Black US Army cadets say they were called the N-word and
'shunned' for reporting discrimination at West Point
Black cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point
say they were subjected to racially charged harassment and
weren't taken seriously when they reported it to authorities at
the renowned institution.
...
First Lt. Simone Askew, who graduated in 2018, recounted an
incident two weeks after she was selected to become the First
Captain, the senior leader representing her entire cadet class.
Askew wrote she found a note under the door to her room that
included "a picture of me holding a rifle, photoshopped with a
monkey's face."
"Though I was aware of the historical precedence of portraying
Black people as monkeys, I wondered if the depiction suggested
something deeper about my leadership," she wrote. "Racing
through my mind were all the presentations and conversations
that I had given in the past 14 days as First Captain and
whether I had made any mistakes.
"This self-interrogation fueled in me a paralyzing fear," she
added.
Askew developed a strategy to "perform flawlessly" during her
tenure at West Point and remained "optimistic that I had finally
done enough."
Despite her efforts; however," Askew said that racist
caricatures continued to spread online.
"One of the popular images even depicted me as Satan himself,"
she wrote. "Am I an animal, am I a demon, or am I human?"
...
The letter also included some testimonials from the cadets in
2020. Many of them said they were ignored or even retaliated
against for reporting these incidents. We are "consistently
silenced and shunned by our Chain of Command and peers when we
speak out against racist behavior," one person said.
"I was called a 'n----' during my freshman year at West Point,"
one person wrote. "I was told that I was going to rob someone
because I was Black. A student made a noose and put it on his
Black roommate's desk as a joke. I was called 'white' because I
speak intelligently, which is built on the assumption that white
people speak better than Black people. These are just a few of
many examples."
A woman who identified herself as the only Black female in her
company's class, recounted her experience with discussing the
topic of race with her colleagues:
"But one day I sat with a group of white males in my company
during dinner. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was coming up. One of
them mentioned how his teacher made him feel 'guilty' about
being white because of the oppression their ancestors put upon
minority Americans for hundreds of years. The Cadet explained
how he should not feel guilty because he was not the one that
caused the pain.
"However, I mentioned how it is important to recognize the
privilege young, white, straight, Christian males reap due to
the power dynamic white men have created in American society.
Once I said those words, I was suddenly being shouted at by
every white male at that table. I was being told that I was
'crazy and racist,' that 'African Americans should do the same
because of affirmative action,' and 'You're only saying that
because you're Black.' I have learned that the 'respect for
other races' at West Point is simply a coverup for the
underlying racism that this institution tolerates.[/quote]
