Victory! Department of Defense purges SPLC information from its training material
The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained an email from the Department of Justice in which Brian J. Field, assistant U.S. attorney for the DOD Civil Division, confirmed that the DOD Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity has removed “any and all references to the SPLC in training materials used by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI).”
The DOD founded the DEOMI in 1971 (then called the Defense Race Relations Institute) after an inter-service task force examined the causes and potential cures of racial turbulence within the military. Today, the institute provides race relations education to the members of the Armed Forces.
Under the Obama administration, DEOMI officers used SPLC data to identify high-profile Christian ministries as domestic hate groups at briefings. In the spring of 2013, a United States Army Reserve presentation included a slide, which lectured the servicemen and women that “religious extremism is not limited to any single religion, ethnic group, or region of the world.” Another slide, drawing on the SPLC’s definition of ‘”ate,” included Evangelical Christianity, Orthodox Judaism, Catholicism, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the same category with al Qaeda, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, and the Ku Klux Klan.
In 2013, a controversial 637-page DEOMI manual, used as a textbook during a three month course taught at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, stated:
Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege.
Military personnel were taught that statements like “This is a land of equal opportunity” were simply “tactics of denial” that some white people use; and that “unfair economic advantages and disadvantages created long ago by institutions for whites, males, Christians, etc.” are the drivers of socioeconomic privilege today.
“In one incongruous section after another,” wrote Noel S. Williams in the American Thinker, “the manual condemns white privilege as though the infamous preacher Jeremiah Wright were the author.”
An Equal Opportunity officer, who provided Fox News columnist Todd Starnes with a copy of the manual, insisted he remain anonymous for fear of reprisal. The officer strongly objected to the DEOMI’s reliance on the SPLC for information on extremist groups, saying, “I’m participating in teaching things that are...
Six Things Harvey Weinstein Wants Everyone To Know About Him
The New York Times dropped a bomb of a report on Harvey Weinstein and his decades-long history of sexual harassment on Thursday, and the statement the film producer issued in response to the piece is absolutely ridiculous.
The report from the The Times revealed some repulsive details of the way Weinstein has allegedly abused his power as a Hollywood executive over the years. While he fessed up to some of his actions in a response to The Times’ piece, he also wanted everyone to know six things as some sort of cry for support from the liberal community who has embraced him as one of their own for so many years: He’s a big Jay-Z fan, he hates the NRA, he’s Jewish, he hates Donald Trump, he’s generous with his money and he loves women, including his mother.
“Jay Z wrote in 4:44 ‘I’m not the man I thought I was and I better be that man for my children.’ The same is true for me. I want a second chance in the community but I know I’ve got work to do to earn it,” Weinstein quoted the rapper as a cry for sympathy in his statement.
The Hollywood studio head then addressed his anger issues which he said he plans to channel at the NRA with his “full attention,” in response to the Las Vegas shooting. He also suggested that he plans to get CEO Wayne LaPierre fired and will hold his retirement party at the same place where he had his Bar Mitzvah.
“I’m making a movie about our President,” Weinstein continued, before...
11 Inured, One Arrested as Car Rams Pedestrians Outside Natural History Museum, London
The London Ambulance Service said in a statement Saturday evening they had treated “11 patients, mostly for leg and head injuries, and took nine of them to hospital”. Fortunately, there have been no fatalities.
Over three hours after the incident, London’s Metropolitan Police used twitter to announce they were not treating the incident as an act of terrorism, making clear instead that “It is a road traffic collision.”
Eyewitnesses to the scene outside the renowned Kensington Museum on exhibition road Saturday reported seeing large numbers of police cars and armed police on Exhibition Road, with injured people being put into ambulances.
Publicly available records held by Transport for London show the vehicle believed to have been driven into the pedestrians is licensed for private hire work and has a licence that runs until August 2018.
There has been one arrest of a male and police said shortly after the incident “Enquiries to establish the circumstances and motive are underway.”
Video footage taken by purported eye-witnesses and uploaded to microblogging platform Twitter shows the apparent carnage around the world-famous museum immediately after the incident, with debris scattered across the floor, and four men pinning another to the ground, in an apparent citizen’s arrest.
A police statement released shortly after the incident stated the force had been called at 14:21 UK time and that they believed “a number of pedestrians have been injured”.
Police set up a significant exclusion area around...
REPORT: FBI NOW CONSIDERS BLACK IDENTITY EXTREMIST GROUPS AS POTENTIAL TERRORISTS
The information is based on an FBI intelligence assessment dated August 3, 2017, “Black Identity Extremists Likely Motivated to Target Law Enforcement Officers” and thanks to the thugs in St. Louis who hurled bricks and used chemical agents against police, not much more needs to be said as to the validity of such claims.
The FBI Counterterrorism Division warned about the potential violence that could come from members of “Black Identity Extremists” (BIE), according to a document obtained by Foreign Policy.
The Aug. 3 document warns of the potential violence that members of the BIE movement could possibly perform against American law enforcement officers, Foreign Policy reported Friday.
“The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence,” the document read. Foreign Policy notes that the document was marked for official use.
The FBI report points to the 2014 Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown as the start of the anger and violence on the part of BIE. Police brutality only helped fuel the anger, the FBI noted in the report.
“The FBI assesses it is very likely incidents of alleged police abuse against African Americans since then have continued to feed the resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity within the BIE movement,” the report read.The left and sugar daddy George Soros are badly overplaying their hand in their exploitation of racial tensions to ...
Update on Vegas shooter: Phone charger mystery solved, CNN reports travel to Middle East
CNN reported:
The cruises included stops at ports in Spain, Italy, Greece, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, according to information provided by a law enforcement source who asked not to be identified because the source was not authorized to share information about the investigation. Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, accompanied him on nine of the cruises.
The information provided by the source did not specify the cruise line involved, the type of cruises, when they occurred or the couple’s reason for travel. Most cruise ships have casinos on board, and Paddock was an avid gambler.
The news comes as the Islamic State has continued to claim a connection to the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history as Paddock opened fire on concert goers from his Mandalay Bay Hotel room, killing 58 people and injuring another 500 before taking his own life.
The Islamic terrorist group declared that Paddock was “a soldier of the Islamic State” through their Amaq news agency Monday and, on Thursday, doubled down on that claim in their newsletter.
#ISIS doubling down again on its claim for #LasVegas attack, claiming Paddock “converted to Islam 6 months ago" & tallying casualties twitter.com/siteintelgroup…
Investigators have found no evidence to support the claims by ISIS, however. Nor have they been able to confirm that a cache of explosives found in Paddock’s car could have been planned to make a bomb.
As reported earlier by BPR, Paddock’s car, which was found in the hotel’s parking garage, contained hundreds of rounds of ammunition, several pounds of ammonium nitrate as well as 50 pounds of a compound known as Tannerite, often used to form homemade...
