Politically Correct Week in Review

"...The tactic is as old as fascism itself. First, you invert the truth. You make the defenders of democracy look like the danger to it. You accuse your opponents of the crimes you plan to commit. Then you let repetition do the rest. Each lie becomes familiar, then plausible, then policy. That’s how authoritarianism always takes root — not in secret, but in broad daylight, with cameras rolling and the public lulled by ceremony...

That’s not a coincidence. It’s a message. They are rewriting history in plain sight, turning the moral universe upside down. The antifascists of the 1930s — the unions, the leftists, the Jewish resistance, the students, the writers, the clergy who stood up to Na**sm — are being recast as the villains. The people Hi**er imprisoned, exiled, and executed are now the ones being painted as the “threat.” This isn’t ignorance; it’s strategy. It’s a rehearsal for repression...."

This should stop you cold. The President of the United States just hosted a White House roundtable where Jack Posobiec — a man best known for spreading neo-Nazi propaganda and the Pizzagate hoax — told the nation that the roots of “Antifa” go back to the Weimar Republic. In other words, he’s saying the problem began with the people who tried to stop Hi**er. And the President sat there nodding.

That’s not a coincidence. It’s a message. They are rewriting history in plain sight, turning the moral universe upside down. The antifascists of the 1930s — the unions, the leftists, the Jewish resistance, the students, the writers, the clergy who stood up to Na**sm — are being recast as the villains. The people Hi**er imprisoned, exiled, and executed are now the ones being painted as the “threat.” This isn’t ignorance; it’s strategy. It’s a rehearsal for repression.

The tactic is as old as fascism itself. First, you invert the truth. You make the defenders of democracy look like the danger to it. You accuse your opponents of the crimes you plan to commit. Then you let repetition do the rest. Each lie becomes familiar, then plausible, then policy. That’s how authoritarianism always takes root — not in secret, but in broad daylight, with cameras rolling and the public lulled by ceremony.

Posobiec’s comment wasn’t just a slip of the tongue. It was an invocation. It was a signal to the movement that has always hated the idea of shared humanity — that believes “order” can only be restored through domination. The fact that this was said in the White House means that ideology now feels safe speaking its name.

You should be terrified. Not of the protesters in black hoodies, but of the men in suits who smile while rewriting the past. Because when the state starts framing the enemies of fascism as the true danger, history is already circling the drain. And if we don’t see it now, we’ll see it again — only this time, it will be wearing an American flag.

Now let’s talk about the roundtable itself, because the lies weren’t just symbolic — they were strategic. Every talking point was crafted to legitimize a political purge.

They claimed Antifa is a coordinated terrorist organization with funding, structure, and leadership. False. Antifa is not an organization. It’s a decentralized movement of people who oppose fascism — no leader, no office, no payroll. Trying to treat it like a cartel isn’t law enforcement; it’s ideological warfare.

They compared Antifa to Hamas, ISIS, and Hezbollah. That’s absurd. Those are militarized organizations with command structures and death tolls in the thousands. Antifa isn’t staging international attacks; it’s street-level resistance to fascist groups who, by the way, have committed the vast majority of domestic terror murders in this country over the last decade.

They claimed Portland is “burning” and local leaders are hiding the truth. Local journalists and police say otherwise. There were protests, not a war zone. The exaggerated language is designed to make middle America believe civil society has collapsed — to justify the use of federal power against American citizens.

They called for “breaking down Antifa brick by brick.” You can’t dismantle an idea with handcuffs. What they’re really saying is that they want to criminalize dissent. And they’re dressing it up as national security.

They even claimed the law allows for Antifa to be designated a domestic terrorist organization. It doesn’t. U.S. law doesn’t permit domestic political groups to be labeled that way. This move is pure theater — a propaganda tool to paint opposition as treason.

And then, the final twist: that Antifa threatens law enforcement and ICE. There’s no data to support that. What does exist is data showing that far-right extremists have killed hundreds of Americans since 2015, while so-called “left-wing extremists” have killed fewer than a dozen. Yet the state’s entire security apparatus is being aimed at the wrong target.

So let’s call this roundtable what it was — a staged ritual of fear and fiction. A fascist revival meeting disguised as public policy. They’re not investigating terrorism; they’re laying the groundwork to redefine it. To make political opposition a criminal act.

When the government starts speaking about antifascists the way Hi**er spoke about “Marxists,” it’s not just political rhetoric anymore. It’s a warning. The question isn’t whether they’ll come for people who resist — it’s how soon. And if history is any guide, they’ve already started.

A paper tiger has no teeth - Emperor has no clothes

With the mainstream media distracted by the made-for-TV drama of James Comey’s indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed national security directive identifying “anti-Christian” and “anti-American” views as indicators of radical left violence. Called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, it’s being referred to as “NSPM-7” by administration insiders.

“This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism,” Trump’s homeland security advisor Stephen Miller said, referring to the issuance.

In NSPM-7, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” President Trump directs the Justice Department, the FBI, and other national security agencies and departments to fight his version of political violence in America, retooling a network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus on “leftist” political violence in America. This vast counterterrorism army, made up of federal, state, and local agents would, as Trump aide Stephen Miller said, form “the central hub of that effort.”

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime...

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence:

anti-Americanism,

anti-capitalism,

anti-Christianity,

support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

New directive targets “anti-Christian,” “anti-American,” and “anti-capitalism” opinions

Leonardo Garcia Venegas, an American citizen and construction worker who lives and works in Baldwin, Alabama, claims the arrests were "unreasonable" and violated the Fourth Amendment that protects against unreasonable search and seizure.

"DHS authorizes these armed raids based on the general assumption that certain groups of people in the industry, including Latinos, are likely illegal immigrants," Venegas' attorney claimed in the lawsuit. "Once immigration officers are on a site, they preemptively seize everybody they think looks undocumented."

Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a U.S.-born citizen who was twice arrested by immigration authorities, has filed a lawsuit claiming that he was improperly detained.

Trump signed a national security policy memorandum called “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” known as NSPM-7. Such national security directives are far less common than executive orders. Where the latter tend to direct day-to-day government operations, the former can set sweeping new policies across the federal government’s military, law enforcement, and intelligence bureaucracies. As the name NPSM-7 indicates, this is only the seventh such directive Trump has issued since taking office.

As journalist Ken Klippenstein reports, NPSM-7 “directs a new national strategy to ‘disrupt’ any individual or groups ‘that foment political violence,’ including ‘before they result in violent political acts.’” Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, who’s long been one of the most zealously authoritarian members of the Trump administration, crowed that the moment marks “the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism.”

In explaining exactly why this is so bleak, Klippenstein references the dystopian science fiction movie Minority Report, where people are arrested not for anything they’ve done but for “pre-crime” predicted by people with psychic powers. In this real-world case, the “indicia” (indicators) of future political violence listed in the report are:

anti-Americanism,
anti-capitalism,
anti-Christianity,
support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
extremism on migration,
extremism on race,
extremism on gender
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

This is, at the very least, a directive for surveillance and tracking of clearly constitutionally protected speech. Targets would fall under suspicion for simply holding any one of a list of standard left-wing beliefs, subjectively rebranded as extremism, supposedly predisposing them to violence.

Do you think American imperialism is a problem? Do you organize protests against America’s wars abroad? Do you speak out against the American-backed genocide in Gaza? These could constitute “anti-Americanism.” Do you want to abolish ICE? That sounds like what the Trump administration might consider to be “extremism about immigration.” Your opinions are risk factors for violence, and by expressing them, you have committed pre-crime.

Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

“…The reaction to Trump’s nakedly illegal designation from progressives, liberal media, and left-leaning think-tanks…
have embraced a dangerous narrative: The antifa designation is moot because there is, simply, nothing to designate. “Antifa,” in this telling, will simply be used as a catchall to repress anyone opposed to Trump when, in truth, it’s just an idea with no concrete grounding in the world.

Trump will indeed label just about all his opponents “antifa,” but the terms “antifa” and “anti-fascist” aren’t hollow references to mere ideas.

Contrary to Republicans’ portrayals, there is no overarching antifa organization or official network. The terms “antifa” and “anti-fascist,” though, do reflect an actually existing world of activists, researchers, thinkers, and organizers at real risk of persecution and dedicated to a specific politics...”

Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

Jesus wept; and I personally thought that these were classified secret meetings, not made-for-Fox occasions for Hegseth and Trump to blather on like the idiots they are. Both spewed hate and poison. It is very bad for national security to show the world that the nation is headed by Dumb and Dumber. Trump blathered on about the cheap gold decor, his signature, the "Gulf of America," his deserving a Nobel prize, etc. If a nation could die of shame....
Guardian on Hegseth: egseth has fired several generals and admirals in the first months of his tenure, a disproportionate number of which have been Black or women, including chair of the joint chiefs, CQ Brown.
“First of all, you’ve got to fire the chairman of the joint chiefs,” Hegseth said during a November interview on the Shawn Ryan Show. “Any general that was involved, general, admiral, or whatever, that was involved in any of that DEI woke s**t has got to go.”
The military does not have racial quotas for promotion, but does take steps to ensure that non-white and female troops do not face racial or gender discrimination. While noting that “being a racist has been illegal in our formations since 1948,” Hegseth said that the department would review promotions policies and eliminate racial quotas.
“Colorblind, gender-neutral, merit based; the entire promotion process, including evaluations of warfighting capabilities, is being thoroughly re-examined,” he said.
Hegseth said the Pentagon would overhaul inspector general and equal opportunity office rules to reduce complaints. He also said the Pentagon would establish a process to remove “forgivable earnest or minor infractions” from leader’s records. “I call it the no more walking on eggshells policy,” he said. “No more frivolous complaints … no more side tracking careers.”
The gathering of flag officers together in the same place and time is largely unprecedented. Rather than record the equivalent of a Ted talk video or send an email, Hegseth chose to deliver a theatrically-incendiary speech meant as much for a wider political audience as it was for men and women wearing stars on their shoulders. Hegseth took potshots at former chief of staff Mark Milley and scattered jingoism throughout his address.
“Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision and ferocity of the war department,” Hegseth said. “To our enemies, FAFO,” he said referring to the acronym for “f**k around and find out”.
Hegseth used this gathering to impress the need for a risk-taking culture and a return to physical and appearance standards set in 1990. Permission to wear a beard – a shaving profile – will be broadly rescinded for everyone except special forces troops. Women in combat roles will be expected to meet the same physical standards as men.
“War does not care if you are a man or a woman,” Hegseth said.
Drill sergeants will be empowered to swear and conduct “shark attack” type-training, during which instructors gang up on a recruit and shout at them, Hegseth said. Basic training should be “scary, tough and disciplined. We’re empowering drill sergeants to instil healthy fear in new recruits.”
Hegseth also said the rules of engagement would be reviewed. “We untie the hands of our war fighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement. Just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for war fighters.”

During incendiary speech, defense secretary said: ‘Any general ... involved in any of that DEI woke s**t has got to go’
