Our 'Woke' Military...Priming For Loss  

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

Since the steal in 2020, Joe Biden and his joke of an  administration have proven themselves to be dismal and abject failure on all fronts. From his total sum of economic policies; to the border fiasco; to crime running rampant in numerous American cities; to our now weakened foreign policy stances including Biden basically turning America's back on our ally Israel; all coupled with the “green energy” nonsense constantly being shoved down our collective throats; the list is not only endless but it's growing by the day.

Not a damn thing right has Joe Biden done for this country or for “We the People” since assuming office but, in my opinion, probably the most grievous and dangerous of all Biden's actions by the scope of its very nature, was his basically forcing social conformity within our military courtesy of the nonsense known as “wokeismism.” In more direct words, America's military must now accept, cater to, and embrace the entirety of the far left's social ideology known as “being woke,” as in what are weaponized personal grievances masquerading as a supposed genuine social issue.

And Joe Biden did so by checking off all the socially mandated boxes, never mind the fact that this not only puts our nation's national security at risk, but that he has actually endangered not just the lives of each and every American citizen but our active military members as well. And what's even worse is that this fool still dancing on Obama's puppet pulled strings simply does not care that he did, leaving me to wonder just what his beloved now gone, ex-Army officer son Beau would think of this particular action given that his dad is currently Commander-in-Chief.

So now with time being of the essence...what with the war weary state of the world itself coming into play...we must have the courage to reclaim what was the “greatest fighting force the world has ever known”* ...that is if we want to retain our number one position as the world's leading “super power.” And in these dangerous times said position is more important than most people think, which means that the entirety of Biden's forced “woke” nonsense must be removed from our military protocol before both he and said nonsense can cause anymore harm, both here at home and abroad, than it already has.

The United States military must never become a social ideological battleground for to do so directly threatens not only our national security but it helps to undermine the founding principles of our Constitution while also negating our military's long held principal belief that it's America's traditional values that helps to promote and spread unity, cohesion, and equality amongst all of our service members. And also, not to be forgotten, is the fact that it's not just the Biden administration itself that's pushing these policies onto the sum of the six branches that comprise our U.S. Armed Forces,** but that it's also what's now being called a developing “military woke complex.” And just what is said “complex” but a leftist group of nonprofits...some very well-funded with others continuing to operate under the radar...who are pushing the “woke” nonsense on our military as well. And what really should not come as a surprise to anyone is that it's the likes of George Soros, the Tides Foundation, and the Ford Foundation who are the main ones bankrolling said “military woke complex.”

The United States military surely does not need these anti-American, leftist sorts watering down their prime directive, which clearly is “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and to maintain, by timely and effective military action, the security of the United States, its possessions and areas vital to its interest.”

Remember, the ultimate goal of our fighting forces must remain to be the victor in any wars we are part and party to while not having to worry about upsetting the sensibilities of some who, while they might check off the now socially mandated boxes, are in reality both psychologically and physically unprepared for war nor do they understand let alone care about what is their prime directive. 

And while some claim that those who embrace “wokeism” are an integral and important part of American society... which I personally believe they're not...those willing to accept “wokism” as a normal part of society, including in our military, have forgotten that our military must remain comprised of only those who not only have the physical strength and mental stamina to defend our country in times of war, but who are also of the mindset to know when something is right for our country and our American way of life, and when something is not only morally wrong but an actual danger to the very fabric of American society as well.

“Wokeism” in all its guises remains a “distraction” and an overall danger to our country, most especially to our military which has seen since “woke” policies were initiated their all-important enlisting numbers going way down. So before Biden even has a chance to again put his pen to yet another disastrous EO paper, one needs to understand that because of Joe Biden we, the world's still number one “superpower”...but for long... now sees the world at large slowly turning away from not just American leadership, but from American values, rule of law, and our societal structure as well. And when our military becomes rife with those who seem to embrace anti-American rhetoric and socially damaging values, what we become is a nation that has not only lost its way, but a nation whose military can no longer be counted on by both friends and allies alike, let alone defend our nation against internal and external threats nor assure the safety of our citizens.

Simply, contrary to “woke” ideology it really is, militarily wise, all about tangible strength...both physical and mental strength...especially in today's highly volatile world, thus giving even more credence to the fact that “wokism” must be purged from our military's discourse. Why so...because for a nation to be recognized and respected as having the world's strongest and most respected military force, adhering and catering to social issues does indeed get in the way of brute strength. And brute strength encompasses the fact that a given nation must physically control both the air and the sea, and not find itself being bogged down in ever frivolous and so unimportant “woke” nonsense.

And while our United States combined naval forces...which includes our Marine Corps...still controls the seas as per the March 2024 edition of “The World Directory of Military Modern Warships” (WDMMW)*...that does not negate the fact that “wokeism” mandates have surely intruded upon how our navy functions.

How so? While the U.S. still rates number one with a fleet of over 400 ships and submarines, as well as over 3,000 naval aircraft, and when coupled with our amphibious warfare force known as the Marine Corps, you'd think we'd have a solid lock on being the world's number one “superpower,” but how wrong you'd be. And why so...because in position number two is China's “People’s Liberation Army Navy” (PLAN) which actually encompasses within it the largest navy in the world by the total number of its combined ships and physical manpower...as in its actual body count numbers. 

And while China is working to expand its current fleet... while also being the second largest navy in terms of tonnage...it's body count numbers are increasing along with it while our naval numbers are decreasing thanks to our Navy being forced to deal with“woke” nonsense. Also not to be forgotten is that the Russian Navy in the number three position...while low in its number of naval aircraft still does have an impressive fleet of over 600 ships and submarines...is also gaining in naval strength and manpower while again, our naval recruitment numbers are sadly decreasing.

And so both China and Russia ...countries that don't like us very much...remain a little too close for comfort regarding air and sea superiority, leaving one not to forget that if, for whatever reason, China and Russia were to actually join forces together that they could well cripple both our Navy and Air Force to a point from which we might militarily not be able to recover from in the foreseeable future. And “wokeism” would be to blame for the very nature of “wokeism” itself places much needed military necessities behind social ideologies in its “to do” list of importance.

Now as for who controls the air, that honor still goes to these United States, but has a caveat attached to it...a caveat called Afghanistan and our disastrous pullout thereof. Simply, our Air Force could have very easily rendered the Taliban militarily impotent, but our current joke of a president instead had our military tuck its tail between their legs and high tail it out of there. And he did so not because it was the right thing to do...in my opinion it assuredly was not...but because Afghanistan had become a political liability for Joe Biden, his administration, and his “woke” military agenda. How so...because how dare our military show strength instead of fighting for the hearts and minds of the enemy...Obama style if you will.

And this one military action alone has not only put a humiliating shadow of possible defeat over our combined naval and air forces, but it also helped to set the stage for the disaster that is Ukraine and the backstabbing, flip-flop actions this administration has shown to our ally Israel. Remember, our now “woke,” military coupled with our “woke” political leaders are dead set against our military fighting in any “boots on the ground” style of war...the very thing our U.S. Army excels in especially when they don't have their hands tied behind their backs. Instead we now find our leaders hiding behind the skirts of once military men now pretending to be women.

And in this discourse we dare not forget “Space Force,” America's newest military branch...thank you President Trump...a branch more important than most think for the fact remains that the nation who controls space controls the world and thankfully, as of now, we alone have such a military branch. But while the Biden administration wants “Space Force” to be more like a weaker version of a state run militia than an actual military force that would be used to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and provide space capabilities to our joint forces....we could actually lose our current space superiority as both Russia and China find themselves in a growing space “arms race” with our now militarily“woke” U.S armed forces...a scenario that by default alone might not end well.

And lastly, to add insult to what has become a military incurred “woke” injury, Biden and crew while not happy about seeing funding being diverted away from “illegals” to a bill that would automatically register men ages 18-26 in the “Selective Service System,”*** leaves one to wonder just how many “transgender/woke” individuals would actually be called up for military service if the need did so arise. Not too many I would guess for the last thing our military would need to be distracted by in a time of war is being forced to train and deploy individuals to fight who don't even know what sex they really are. And to that I say, case closed.

The Political Pratfall of Indoctrinated Hate 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

...Fact #1: no people throughout both ancient and modern history have been more vilified and persecuted than the Jewish people...not black slaves nor the sum total of Christianity for neither has ever truly experienced or even come close to experiencing the true horror known as the “Holocaust.”

Fact #2: Both Jews and Christians share in the belief that there is but “One God.” However, what knowingly seems to be forgotten is that if not for Abraham becoming the first Jew, Christianity nor even islam might exist today. Without Abraham having cast aside the idolatry and paganism of his day, we might still be worshiping a golden statute with the body of a man and the head of a bird. Simply, it's our Judeo-Christian belief in “One God” that separates our mindsets from those of the ancients, and yet that belief has not only laid the groundwork for the hatred of Jews that still exists today, but it has allowed for the “believe as I do or else” crowd's mentality to permeate and corrupt the current religious and political discourse.

The Political Pratfall of Indoctrinated Hate 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google. 

Fact: as per the Anti-Defamation League's “Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2023” report, the number of antisemitic incidents occurring in the U.S. between the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2023...saw in 2014, 912 antisemitic incidents being committed against American Jews with that number steadily increasing to 8,873 incidents by the end of 2023, with 5,204 of those occurring after Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel. A sad commentary indeed.

And as if on cue the protests are back...not the BLM protests coupled with actual riots taking place in the months leading up to and after the 2020 presidential election...but protests calling for not only the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and in many cases the Jewish people themselves, but protests tinged with anti-American rhetoric as well. But mostly it's fervent antisemitism on display as those taking part in said protests deem Israel the oppressor regarding all things Gaza while heralding Hamas and their Palestinian supporters as being the victims of a war Hamas themselves started on what will forever be known as “Black Saturday.”

And as pro-Palestinian/pro Hamas protesters took over a number of major U.S. college and university campuses, our Democrat leaders, for the most part, remained eerily silent. Why so...because they foolishly thought that in their silence they could play both sides against the middle, and come out unscathed come the November election.

Oh how wrong they are, but before I get into that let me expose some of the outright lies and misinformation that helped fuel the indoctrinated hate against Israel and the Jewish people in general...hate that's been around, as per biblical scholars and historical evidence, since Friday, April 3rd, AD 33, at approximately 3 PM, the day when Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross on orders given by Pontius Pilate alone. Simply, the Jews played no part in Jesus' death except for the fact that this was the very moment in time when they became a “scapegoat.” But first three key facts.

Fact #1: no people throughout both ancient and modern history have been more vilified and persecuted than the Jewish people...not black slaves nor the sum total of Christianity for neither has ever truly experienced or even come close to experiencing the true horror known as the “Holocaust.”

Fact #2: Both Jews and Christians share in the belief that there is but “One God.” However, what knowingly seems to be forgotten is that if not for Abraham becoming the first Jew, Christianity nor even islam might exist today. Without Abraham having cast aside the idolatry and paganism of his day, we might still be worshiping a golden statute with the body of a man and the head of a bird. Simply, it's our Judeo-Christian belief in “One God” that separates our mindsets from those of the ancients, and yet that belief has not only laid the groundwork for the hatred of Jews that still exists today, but it has allowed for the “believe as I do or else” crowd's mentality to permeate and corrupt the current religious and political discourse.

Fact 3: When aggrandized lies told suddenly morph into facts believed, one not only loses their ability to think for oneself, but one actually allows hate to overwhelm and then overtake the sensibilities comprising that person's very soul. And when this happens how easy it is for evil folks who feed on pushing forward messages of hate to easily overtake the mindset of those too weak to not only push back, but those who blindly follow a cause without their having to learn if said cause is just or not.

And it's courtesy of the liberal media's one-sided propaganda machine coupled with liberal educators pushing their decidedly one-sided agendas on impressionable young minds that allowed the pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel movement to be born, and with it overt acts of antisemitism becoming, for some, an acceptable new norm.

And this new norm actually has roots in religion itself as it revolves around the Jews being made the “scapegoat” for Jesus' death. Simply, the Jews had nothing to do with Jesus' death as proven by what are “historical facts” including that with the Jews being slaves of the Romans they, as slaves, had no power whatsoever over who was or was not to be killed. Jesus..the man...the rabbi...who wanted to “reform” Judaism...if you will...not replace Judaism...was ordered to be killed for the simple reason that the Romans and especially Pontius Pilate, deemed him to be a “political threat” to their and his rule. And besides, the Romans were known to keep meticulous records and yet no...I repeat no...Roman records nor physical manuscripts bear any mention of a man named Barabbas existing let alone being released. In fact, except for the words in the New Testament there is no...again I repeat no...mention of a Roman or Jewish custom that demanded the release of a Jewish prisoner on the eve of Passover nor is there any mention of it in any Jewish texts.

Simply, Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus...who was born, lived, preached, and died as a Jew....to be killed out of political necessity and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, written by the hand of man, fabricated the story...not of Jesus' actual death...but embellished it for need of a “scapegoat” to draw more followers to their cause. And unfortunately, with the Jews being but slaves they became the perfect scapegoat as Christianity grew both in numbers and power. And when power is craved “scapegoats” are needed even more, and the Jews served the narrative well...and still do for some even though in 1965 the Catholic Church published the “Nostra Aetate” releasing Jewish “responsibility” for the death of Jesus.

And while most Catholics have embraced and honored this document, sadly a number of other Christian denominations still have not which is why some of today's antisemitic acts committed sees too many remaining silent. Remember, silence at times sends a message of agreement, and for some said agreement simmers below the surface ready to be reawakened when and if need be.

And when agreement did resurface, which is exactly what happened a few weeks ago, some of our top universities and colleges started seeing antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests, coupled with pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian supporters taking over their campuses. But what those students protesting along with, in my opinion, their George Soros funded instigators and supporters... whose numbers are way greater than the students taking part...choose to forget is that Israel's rightful retaliation on Gaza...which is Hamas' main base of operation... was in response to the October 7th savage and brutal murders that left more than 1,200 Israeli civilians dead and hundreds of hostages being taken.

So what exactly do these folks want as their anti-Israel and anti-Jew rhetoric continues to spread across our nation? They claim to want a cease-fire in Gaza and for Israel's killing to stop, while at the same time demanding that America's universities stop funding companies that they alone claim profit from or engage in Israel’s ongoing military campaign and occupation of Gaza. But again what the indoctrinated again choose to ignore is that Gaza has not been controlled nor occupied by Israel since 2005.

Simply, the ever foolish indoctrinated students along with their “bought and paid for” Soros instigators, continue to protest in support of a people and their government...as in Hamas...that they themselves did so willingly vote into power, and who, for the past two decades, has not only been “stealing the people blind”...but a government that has been one of the key instigators in the ongoing Middle East unrest. And this alone negates the protesters claim that Israel's counterattacks reached “disproportionate and inhumane levels.” Bottom line...the Palestinian's plight...the Palestinian death toll...lays squarely on Hamas'...not Israel's...shoulders what with the majority of Palestinians still supporting Hamas.

But something else forgotten...something critical to the entirety of the protest discourse...is the words of the First Amendment itself which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Reread those words carefully for the answer to actually stopping these protests, and with it their decidedly antisemitic rhetoric, lies within the words “the right of the people to peacefully assemble,” for the protests have now proven to be anything but peaceful. “Peacefully” does not mean one has the right to destroy property, take over another's property whether it be public of private property, nor does it give one the right to trash grounds nor physically injure others. “Peacefully” does not mean inciting violence, bringing weapons to “assemble,” nor does it give one the right to literally call for the deaths of those whose faith you find distasteful via instigation and incitement to do bodily harm, which no matter how one tries to twist it is not a Constitutional right.

And with the protesters also spewing “Death to America” chants, I believe they have opened themselves up to immediate arrest for those three words do not in any way petition for a “redress of grievances,” for with the word “death” they are...in my opinion...calling for the overthrow of our government...as in insurrection plans in the making. So with this let's circle back to this article's third paragraph where I speak about the silence from Democrat leaders trying to play both sides against the middle.

So here lets start with the fact that once New York police officers in riot gear were called in to remove the anti-Israel/ pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University after they refused the university president's orders to “disband” their two-week pigsty of an encampment set up on university grounds, the stakes for Democrats grew much higher. 

How so? As the protests started spreading across college and university campuses nationwide, acts of antisemitism spread along with it as did the Democrats fear that the unease now being created could directly affect the November election. And while that fear is indeed justified it might not be in the way that most think. And why... simply because radicalized young people like the pro-Hamas contingency who do so like “talking the talk” while acting out an activist part, actually seldom go out to vote. It's the decent young people who vote...those going to college and university to learn... those not going simply to make radicalized political statements while garnering their 15 minutes of infamy.

So where exactly is the Democrats fear coming from and why their silence regarding both the condemnation of the acts being perpetrated and the agitators who are pushing the indoctrinated hate forward? The answer is really quite simple in that if Democrat leaders dare to bring even more focus on the mayhem taking place, it could actually backfire on them by uniting the growing collective of pro-Israel, pro-Jewish supporters together. The “from the river to the sea” nonsensical rhetoric does get old pretty fast, as does Biden's two-faced stance towards Israel including his statement that while he “condemns the antisemitic protests,” he quickly followed it up with words “condemning those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

 

In other words playing both sides against the middle in hopes of garnering the votes of those who not only relish in hate, but those who help perpetrate hate. And this, my friends, is a scenario that more times than not never ends well for the party or parties involved. Case closed.
