Pentagon has its own ‘enemies list’
2023-06-11
[TRMLX] The Pentagon has been hard at work keeping us all safe from "fringe social media." The Joint Staff Civil Disturbance cell, an element within the National Military Command Center (NMCC), referenced numerous posts from conservatives such as LTG(R) Flynn, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. Lauren Boebert, Matt Walsh, and others in a document titled "Alternative Social Media Update 06 February 2021 (0600)." The document highlights specific platforms such as Gab and 4chan as being fringe, yet it also posted screenshots of a Tweet from Rep. Boebert.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE DOCUMENT
The intent of the document appears to be to highlight content trending on these "fringe sites" that may be a security concern. The executive summary highlights trending topics on "alternative social media" while specifically referencing interviews with LTG(R) Flynn.
Just found this site. You could make a post out of almost every story if you wanted to. As a stone civilian here, I'd be interested in the opinions of our commenters who have served.

#5  The Pentagon? CIA? FBI? have enemies lists? Get with the program. They ALL have enemies lists. Like HHS, AG, Energy, if the agency has a name in DC it has an enemies list.

#3  Well its nice for them to make a list of the people who probably should be given the task of reorganizing America's national defense when the MIC is disassembled and the American homeland becomes the primary focus of what force structure is needed.

#2  "The NMCC is a product of the early nuclear age. It was built out of the Joint War Room that preceded it during the Kennedy Administration. Till this very day, the facility directly supports the National Command Authority and its ability to rapidly order-up nuclear attacks. As such, the amazing communications capabilities the facility has at its disposal are really its greatest asset.
Beyond connecting the National Command Authority during a crisis, the NMCC also issues the Emergency Action Messages (EAMS) that go out to bomber units, nuclear ballistic missile submarines, and ICBM missile silos scattered throughout the central United States, as well as the command and control aircraft that also support these delivery systems and the National Military Command System overall. These EAMs can quickly start or avert the end of the world as we know it.

#1  The civilian bureaucracy and top bass of the military has become insubordinate to elected officials and to the people. The longer this goes on the more the gangrene will creep downward into the officer ranks. We saw that with Vindman. Fixing this can no longer be done with modern surgeon tools. It will have to be Gettysburg style.
