Last week, Revolver News exposed the key hatchet man promoted to the Pentagon to install radical race theory and purge all MAGA sympathies from U.S. military organs, officers and personnel.
His name is Bishop Garrison, and he is the head of the Pentagon’s new “Countering Extremism” initiative. Granted incredible new powers to designate ordinary political opinions and personal beliefs a national security threat, Bishop Garrison has waltzed from seeming obscurity into one of the most powerful posts in Washington.
Bishop Garrison will lead the CEWG [Countering Extremism Working Group], which will function as a de facto “Opinion Police” for Pentagon personnel on a permanent, go-forward basis.
The CEWG’s first tasks will be: to change the Pentagon’s definition of “extremism”; to stop Pentagon personnel from being recruited by “extremist” groups; and to beef up personnel screening to better detect hidden “extremist beliefs.”
If you’re in the military, it appears that Bishop Garrison’s CEWG will scour your Internet history, making sure to target “gray areas, such as reading, following and liking extremist material and content in social media forums and platforms.”
But what exactly are “extremist beliefs” and “extremist materials”? [Revolver]
This report will highlight Bishop Garrison’s role as a key mercenary in the Biden administration’s full-court press to redefine, and effectively end, America’s long-standing fidelity to the First Amendment.
Let’s begin with more of Biden race commissar Bishop Garrison’s greatest hits as the world’s most extremist “Counter Extremism” czar.
“Calls For Civility Will Be The Death Of America”
Last January, during the heat of President Trump’s second impeachment trial, Bishop Garrison tweeted that civility toward President Trump or his supporters would be the death of America.
Yes, this is a real tweet from the operative assigned to root out “extremism” at the Pentagon:
This new judge of extremism for the Defense Department believes there is no “both sides”, there is “no room for nuance”, and that America will die if Bishop Garrison’s political opponents are permitted to present their own opinions without being shouted down.
This is the same logic used by the Biden administration’s transition chief for the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), Richard Stengel, when he called to end the First Amendment and institute hate speech laws.
From the transcript:
Stengel: The basis of the First Amendment, the marketplace of ideas model, is actually not working. Marketplace of ideas is this notion that good ideas will drive out bad ideas. Well it was a kind of mystical notion coming from Milton and John Stewart Mill. That doesn’t really happen anymore. I think the marketplace of ideas needs help.
Interviewer: But if the marketplace of ideas isn’t working and good information’s not driving out bad, is free speech really a good thing we should be fighting for still?
Stengel: Well, one of the things I realized in traveling around the world was that our notion of free speech, the First Amendment, is an outlier in the world… I’m very sympathetic now to the U.S. adopting some version of the hate speech laws in Europe. [YouTube]
There’s a heaping dose of irony: just as the national security state’s media arm USAGM patriotically told Congress “Our organization exports the First Amendment” abroad (33:59-34:05 below), its own chief openly called to end it at home. But the stakes within the U.S. military are more immediate, and perhaps even higher. The Pentagon is the nation’s largest employer, which means the lives of 2.9 million military families now hang by the capricious whim of whether Bishop Garrison deems any aspect of their private hopes and dreams a manifestation of latent “Patriot Extremism.”
Under the new appropriations bill, the Defense Department has a bigger budget than every other Federal department in Washington combined. With a bottomless budget and little effective civilian oversight, Bishop Garrison now has carte blanche to codify his radical brand of partisan hatred and racial favoritism as the mandatory moral center of the entire U.S. government’s military branch.
Freedom of Speech is America’s “Digital Black Plague”
It’s not just the half of America who voted for Trump in Bishop Garrison’s crosshairs. In a July 2018 opinion piece, Bishop Garrison called the entire concept of free speech itself in the information age a “digital black plague” that will usher in a “modern day dark age” if not reigned in by censorship.
Again, this is not an exaggeration. This is an actual article, written recently, by the operative the Biden administration has empowered to stamp out errant beliefs from the U.S. military:
