DHS Has Been Funding Programs at Universities To Label the “Manosphere” Movement a Terror Threat

Following the money.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to team up (by means of funding) with universities around the country, this time in a bid to stomp out the “Manosphere.”

In keeping with the formal purpose and tasks of the DHS, the idea is to treat the “Manosphere,” positioned as an anti-feminist effort, as a terrorist threat.

Regardless of somebody’s stance pro or against modern variations on feminism, some observers are wondering if opposing this social and ideological phenomenon can in fact fit within any definition of – terrorism.

Some explain this opposition as simply a negative yet lawful reaction to the so-called “third wave” feminism already being bankrolled by some of the largest foundations out there, and then using this money and exposure in the media to promote and even impose “wokeism” in pretty much the only way “wokeism” works – the oppressive one.

Those who feel oppressed here, the “Manosphere,” consist of figures from social media and political discourse, generally speaking, arguing in favor of “men’s rights.”

What’s noteworthy is that reports say the government, via DHS, has now apparently picked its side in this ongoing social and cultural to-and-fro between the two groups.

And now, Arizona State University (ASU) is shown to have forged (monetary) links with DHS thanks to documents that have become public. As reported by Zero Hedge, specifically, the school’s McCain Institute is involved here, which in turn has ties with Big Tech and like-minded NGOs – such as ADL and SPLC.

It doesn’t help matters that the stated goals in the now-revealed documents’ goals is to promote “hate speech surveillance” – nor does indeed, “redirecting traffic” from both websites and social networks as a means to do it, apparently a method to be used under the grant.

However, this isn’t the first DHS foray into spending money and teaming up with US universities to work against a number of issues that appear closer to its tasks, namely, actual terrorism, but also probing the activities of those who express patriotic political sentiment, and even preppers.

As for the money given to ASU, it is part of TVPT (Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention) scheme which, according to DHS itself, last year went to 34 recipients, and was worth $20 million.

DHS Joins With Woke Universities To Label "Manosphere" A Terror Threat

Wednesday, Jan 03, 2024 - 12:20 AM

Since at least the year 2020 the Department of Homeland Security has been funding a series of woke university programs across the country. They have spent millions of dollars (that we know of) to incentivize academic groups, not with the goal of countering foreign terror elements or even to investigate US preppers and patriots, but to develop tools for disruptingwhat some call the “Manosphere” movement (previously known as the Red Pill movement) – A movement focused on countering feminism and feminist propaganda.

Is arguing logically against feminism really such a threat to the nation? No, but it is a threat to the woke movement, which has been on the decline in recent years as more and more information about their ideology is scrutinized by the public.

Woke activism, which includes third-wave feminism, is transparently astroturf. It relies on billions of dollars in funding supplied by elitist institutions such as the Ford Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Open Society Foundation. The oppressive authoritarian nature of the woke apparatus has given rise to a large individualist counter-culture that is truly grassroots and this includes various men's rights groups, political commentators and YouTubers (collectively known as the Manosphere).

The division has created what many refer to as the “culture war.” And, if it wasn't clear by now, evidence shows that government agencies have chosen a side…

In a more recent exposure, documents have surfaced from a DHS funded program linked to the University of Arizona, home of the McCain Institute. Included in the network are a number of NGOs and Big Tech conglomerates as well as the SPLC and ADL. The project rhetoric ties the Manosphere to extremism, racism and even terrorism.

The thrust of the effort appears to be propaganda based, with a tandem scheme to “redirect” social media and web traffic away from Manosphere related commentators. ASU referred to the program as “hate speech surveillance.”

The “Redirect Method” was mentioned as a useful mechanism by the Rand Corporation in 2018. We saw this strategy play out to some extent during covid, when every major social media platform attempted to redirect traffic away from alternative media sources and into the arms of corporate news platforms.

Such grants are offered under ==the TVPT (Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention) program. In 2023 the DHS announced the award of 34 of these grants to the tune of $20 million. That's millions of dollars of your tax money going into the pockets of woke academics so that they can fabricate new ways to undermine western values.

>DHS Joins With Woke Universities To Label "Manosphere" A Terror Threat

As part of TVTP, in 2022 the DHS gave $659,327 to fund Diverting Hate, a group of students and at ASU who were studying “incels,” or “involuntary celibates”—a term used to describe young men who can’t attract romantic partners. The incel moniker is a purely feminist concept originally used as a way to ridicule young men who speak out against woke beliefs (the insinuation being that if they don't embrace feminism no woman will want to associate with them). They then expanded on the label to suggest that these men will inevitably turn to lone wolf terrorism out of frustration.

Keep in mind, many of these DHS projects were launched in the midst of the covid pandemic hype and the mass censorship that came with it. The establishment may have felt that it was the perfect time to go-for-broke and construct censorship protocols for any and every group rebelling against the prevailing narrative. It hasn't been very long since that period of leftist insanity, but even now the pendulum is swinging back against them.

The only reason to associate counter-feminism with terrorism is to make authoritarian measures against the Manosphere more “palatable” for the public. To connect philosophical opponents to treason or terrorism is a political attack that government bodies and power hungry zealots have used for all of recorded history, but in this case it feels like the desperate behavior of a cult that is on the verge of fading into obscurity.

The idea that men and masculinity are a threat to society is the root argument of third-wave feminism. It's no longer about equal rights, which they already have; now it's about removing masculine (and traditional) influences from culture altogether. The current government seems to be fully in support of this cleansing and, if you think about it, it makes perfect sense – It's a lot easier for authoritarians to control a society if the men in that society have been psychologically neutered and are incapable of fighting back.

> https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_0920_plcy_strategic-framework-countering-terrorism-targeted-violence.pdf

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was created in the wake of the devastating 9/11 attacks, and charged with coordinating and unifying the Nation’s homeland security efforts. Today, just past the eighteenth anniversary of those horrible events, the country confronts an evolving challenge of terrorism and targeted violence. While the threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations remains a priority for the Department, and for the Nation as a whole, we have made great progress in our ability to detect, prevent, protect against, and mitigate the threats that these groups pose. At the same time, we face a growing threat from domestic terrorism and other threats originating at home, including the mass attacks that have too frequently struck our houses of worship, our schools, our workplaces, our festivals, and our shopping spaces. I am proud to introduce DHS’s new Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence, which explains how we Kevin McAleenan will use the tools and expertise that have protected and strengthened the country Secretary of Homeland Security from foreign terrorist organizations to address the evolving challenges of today. It is important to appreciate the great progress that the Department has made since it was founded. DHS has adopted a multi-tiered approach to the lines of security we pursue, including aviation security and border security. By gaining the ability to recognize hostile actors long before they reach our borders, we have made our Nation’s borders not our first line of defense, but one of many. We have increased the sharing of information about terrorist threats between the Federal Government and state, local, tribal, and territorial entities, as well as private sector partners.

>>20200651

We have protected America’s critical infrastructure and empowered American communities. I would personally like to thank the Department’s dedicated operators and personnel for performing their duties with the vigilance, integrity, and true sense of service that the American people deserve. But our work is not finished. Indeed, this is a pivotal moment in the Department’s history, as we explicitly acknowledge, and adapt our tools to properly confront, the threats of today. These threats have become more complex, more interconnected, more intertwined with technological advances, and closer to home. As the threats evolve, we must do so as well. While the Strategic Framework that follows is significant in many ways, I would like to highlight six contributions that I consider particularly noteworthy: 1) This is not just a Strategic Framework for countering terrorism, but rather it addresses both terrorism and targeted violence. The Federal Government has been moving toward recognizing terrorism and targeted violence as intertwined and interrelated for some time, but this is the first national-level strategy to explicitly state that terrorism and targeted violence overlap, intersect, and interact as problems, and that they necessitate a shared set of solutions. 2) We introduce new methods of creating a more comprehensive understanding of the challenge of terrorism and targeted violence, both within and outside the Federal Government. The Strategic Framework introduces a new annual assessment that will explicate the state of the threat to the Homeland. This new report will help to inform all levels of government and the broader public. A common understanding of threats within the Homeland will support interagency policymaking, agency prioritizations, resource allocations, and inter-governmental partnerships. The Strategic Framework also introduces a mechanism for crafting a new definition of the key concept of targeted violence, which will further help to ensure a common understanding of the threat, allowing for better discussion, approaches to mitigation, and resource allocation. 3) This Strategic Framework clearly elucidates the nature of today’s domestic challenges, including providing an extended assessment of the dangers posed by domestic terrorists, including racially-and ethnically-motivated violent extremists, particularly white supremacist violent extremists.

4) This Strategic Framework is designed to assess the Department’s past and provide a guidepost to its future. The Strategy identifies the Department’s successes, and explains how they can be parlayed into addressingthe multifaceted challenges of today. 5) The Strategic Framework provides a comprehensive treatment of the preventive tools that can be brought to bear against these threats, regardless of the varying ideological or non-ideological drivers. Importantly, the Strategic Framework explicitly recognizes the need to support and protect our most vulnerable populations, our youth in particular. 6) This Strategic Framework emphasizes the importance of transparency, the protections of civil rights and civil liberties, and the protection of data in a digital age. DHS’s Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence is intentionally forward-looking in its understanding of technology’s role—as a factor that can exacerbate problems, but also one that can provide new solutions to combat the threats we confront. This document will strategically position the Department to deal with future technological advances, as well as other new and emerging threats. The complex and evolving nature of the threats we face today demands that the American people should know our strategy for countering them, and feel comfortable with the transparency of our execution. We will follow this strategy with a public action plan, explaining to the American people in greater detail how we will accomplish the strategic goals we lay out herein. We will implement this new approach to combating terrorism and targeted violence by harnessing the Department’s unique multi-purpose architecture. I am confident in our ability to rise to the challenge through relentless resilience, determination, and unity of effort. As Acting Secretary, I made a promise to the American people to spare no effort in safeguarding our homeland security. I am confident that the Strategic Framework will help to make our Nation safer and more resilient. I am honored to lead this new Strategic Framework that the Department is introducing. Sincerely, Kevin K. McAleenan Acting Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security September 2019

A Framework for Prevention and Intervention StrategiesINCORPORATING VIOLENT EXTREMISM INTO VIOLENCE PREVENTION EFFORTSDeveloped by a collaborative of non-governmental andgovernmental stakeholders from the Greater Boston regionFebruary 2015

AMESSAGE FROMUNITED STATES ATTORNEY CARMEN M.ORTIZAs U.S. Attorney, I was honored that the Greater Boston region was chosen by the White House to be one of only three pilot locations in the country to develop an approach to enhance our efforts at preventing violent extremism. Our resilience and longstanding history of successful collaborative efforts to combatting violence served as the genesis for this framework and the foundation on which we will build an effective strategy to combat violent extremism locally and enable communities across the country to do the same. One of my highest priorities has always been reducing violence by promoting safe and healthy alternatives through prevention and intervention strategies. Throughout my tenure, I have worked with nontraditional partners, like schools, service providers and academia, to find ways to reduce gun and gang violence through non-law enforcement methods. I believe that these innovative strategies are not only effective, but necessary in order to develop a framework to counter violent extremism in the Greater Boston region. These innovative approaches are intended to complement, not replace, the traditional tools of law enforcement in protecting the public safety. From the very day we were chosen as a pilot region, we have actively engaged community representatives, faith-based leaders, educators, mental health experts and local government officials, just to name a few. Known as the “Collaborative”, I am most proud of these “local champions” for their commitment to this pilot initiative and their resolve to engage in meaningful dialogue, which has resulted in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary solution-based framework. Through the hard work of so many, and the tenacity of the community, I firmly believe that we are poised to launch a series of compelling and practical solutions to countering violent extremism in the Greater Boston region. I want to thank and commend all involved for their continued commitment to our efforts.Carmen M. OrtizUnited States AttorneyDistrict of Massachusetts

A Framework for Prevention and Intervention Strategies 1INTRODUCTION BACKGROUNDIn March 2014, the White House National Security Council (NSC) requested assistance from three regions with piloting the development of a comprehensive framework that promotes multi-disciplinary solutions to countering violent extremism. The Greater Boston region was selected because of its existing collaborative efforts and nationally recognized success with developing robust comprehensive violence prevention and intervention strategies. With the support of the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center, a range of stakeholders in the Greater Boston region began to develop a locally-driven framework. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts has had a coordinating role in this process.A COLLABORATIVE PROCESSThe locally-driven framework has been developed by a collaborative of non-governmental, governmental and academic stakeholders from the Greater Boston region.1 (See Appendix A) Contributions were made through in-person meetings, phone conversations, emails and other written correspondence. Working Group meetings were held on a regular basis to work through issues and craft an approach that can be customized based on the local needs.WHO ARE VIOLENT EXTREMISTS Violent extremists are individuals who support or commit ideologically-motivated violence to furtherpersonal, political or social objectives, sometimes without direction from or influence by a foreign actor.2 There are a number of violent extremist 1The Collaborative has included numerous City of Boston personnel who have provided guidance and expertise on best practices. The City of Boston has implemented many of the solutions contained in the framework, some through Boston’s National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention and Boston’s Defending Childhood Initiative.2 Reference: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Countering Violent Extremism Office, Washington, D.C.ideologies that are based in politics, religion or economics. The framework developed by the Collaborative in the Greater Boston region does not focus on any one form of violent extremism.WHAT IS COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISMCountering Violent Extremism, also known as “CVE”, at the very basic level, focuses on using prevention and intervention approaches3 as a way to minimize the risk of individuals being inspired by violent extremist ideologies or recruited by violent extremist groups. In the Greater Boston region, Countering Violent Extremism efforts do not contain a law enforcement suppression component, which is aimed at protecting national security and developed and implemented by law enforcement agencies.4 Law enforcement suppression strategies fall under counterterrorism efforts and are focused on activities once an individual has begun to prepare for or engage in ideologically-motivated violence to advance their cause. (This distinction is important to understand.)Through the initiative, the Collaborative has been working to clarify the meaning of Countering Violent Extremism and to identify language and initiatives that promote resilience, respect and partnership. Both governmental and non-governmental collaborators have demonstrated a commitment to work through an inclusive processthat will not polarize communities.

Muslims were peeved. Framework includes the muslims center dissent

A Framework for Prevention and Intervention Strategies20APPENDIX C Dissenting View –Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC)I want to begin by thanking U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz for her office’s sincere efforts in working with the community on this initiative and incorporating many of the community’s ideas that could lead to healthier and safe communities. Ultimately, however, I cannot sign on to this document due to the premise of “Countering Violent Extremism” mandated by the National Security Council and other federal actors, which guides this framework. Many of the services suggested in this report are initiatives that ought to be implemented in any and all communities, particularly those that have been marginalized. Civic engagement is a vitally important tool towards empowering communities. There are Bostonians of all backgrounds, including the Boston Muslim community, that have serious resource needs and face emotional trauma. We have seen the power of responding to gang violence and bullying in schools with interventions and outreach driven by a common faith.However, at their core, CVE programs are founded on the premise that your faith determines your propensity towards violence. It clearly appears that the CVE initiative is exclusively targeting the American-Muslim community, in spite of the best efforts of the local U.S. Attorney to re-define it expansively.The data shows that violent extremism is an extremely rare phenomena. Furthermore, the working group concludes that religious and ethnic profiling, including the attendance of a mosque, cannot predict violent threats or extremist individuals. The everyday reality of nearly all American-Muslims is like that of any other American: we simply do not meet or experience individuals interested in violent ideologies. My experience as a leader of an Islamic center is emblematic. In my nearly two and a half years as Executive Director at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, my team and I have never personally come across any individual in our congregation seriously considering any fanatical ideology. As a result, for the government to offer us services based on concerns of violent extremism in our community – as implied by this framework – seems to reinforce the same stereotype that society holds of American-Muslims: that they or Islam are inherently violent. This is unacceptable to our Boston-Muslim community. A far more appropriate premise to the framework acceptable to the Boston-Muslim community would have been “countering violence”. This term does not single out the American-Muslim community and could apply to a number of low-resourced and powerless communities, from immigration populations in the south to those living in poverty in Appalachia.We at the ISBCC are aware that extremist groups and terrorist organizations seek to recruit susceptible members of our communities through a distorted and false vision of Islam. As we fortify our youth against repugnant ideologies that are not part of our faith, and as we amplify our voices to denounce extremism in all its forms, we believe a two-step methodology will help us achieve these goals.First, improving outcomes for all marginalized communities, including segments of the Boston Muslim community, will make our congregants even more resilient in the face of repugnant ideologies. Serving marginalized segments of our community and addressing their needs is a core ethos of our religious institution and will continue to be a priority.Second, we at the ISBCC teach and live a faith that is rooted in Islamic tradition, committed to American ideals, and empowered to serve the common good. This authentic Islam is rooted in the values of compassion, justice, community, and a commitment to America. Delivering on this vision of Islam in more robust, creative, and relevant ways to our young people - and thereby winning in the marketplace of ideas - allows us to be successful in (a) proactively improving the resilience of Boston as a whole and (b) fortifying our community against all harms and dangers, including radicalization. What we need is the support of our neighbors and community members so that we can achieve our mission.Yusufi Vali, Executive DirectorIslamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC), Muslim American Society – Boston Chapte
