As part of President Joe Biden is reportedly beginning the process of using private companies to spy on American service members in order to assure that they do not have political views which his Administration finds objectionable.

As The Intercept reports:

the Biden administration’s crackdown on domestic extremism, the Pentagon plans to launch a pilot program for screening social media content for extremist material, according to internal Defense Department documents reviewed by The Intercept, as well as a source with direct knowledge of the program.

An extremism steering committee led by Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to the secretary of defense, is currently designing the social media screening pilot program, which will “continuously” monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors,” according to a Pentagon briefing in late March. Although in the past the military has balked at surveilling service members for extremist political views due to First Amendment protections, the pilot program will rely on a private surveillance firm in order to circumvent First Amendment restrictions on government monitoring, according to a senior Pentagon official. Though the firm has not yet been selected, the current front runner is Babel Street, a company that sells powerful surveillance tools including social media monitoring software.

Babel Street has drawn criticism for its practice of buying bulk cellular location data and selling it to federal national security agencies like the Secret Service, who rely on the private company to bypass warrant requirements normally imposed on government bodies seeking to collect data. In November, Vice reported that the U.S. military’s Special Operations Command used one of Babel Street’s products, Locate X, to track the location of individuals for special forces operations. One method Babel controversially used was to purchase location data associated with the users of a popular Muslim prayer app.

The news comes as the US military has experienced a new push toward ‘wokeness’ spurred on by the Biden Administration. Though the new proposed surveillance of service members smacks more of Joe Stalin than the Joe Biden many voters remember.

    1. Go to the head of the class. We have an idiot with mush for a brain for POTUS and he keeps making the world less and less safe. He is an idiot!!!

    2. He wants to turn the military into storm troopers like Hitler and the other dictators of this world. He is in essence doing away with our freedom. The right kept talking about Trump wanting to be a dictator when that is what they are doing. There are so many that have fallen for their crap.

    3. They’ll probably reward Numb Nuts with the Nobel Prize for Leadership. Military Morale is low enough already. Setting up these snooping shenanigans would further erode the “Esprit de Corps” of our troops.

  1. The only thing wrong with getting rid of Bidden is that it puts ( THE WORST ) Pelosi one step closer to TOTAL DICTATORSHIP. Think folks, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT.?? i LIVED THROUGH A DICTATORSHIP. ABOUT 30 MILLIION PEOPLE DIED FROM TORTURE ETC . IN ABOUT 10 YEARS

      1. PLEASE: add the whole Obama “family” as well as Stacey Abrams, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortéz, Diane Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Mazie Hirono, Tim Kaine, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Ted Lieu, Ilhan ‘Omar, Ayanna Presley, Bernard Sanders, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Rashida Tlaib, Elizabeth Warren, Deborah Schultz-Wasserman, Maxine Waters and all three Clinton-Rodhams to that list!!!! Furthermore, DON’T SPARE (as RINOs) Elizabeth Cheney, Susan Collins, Mitchell McConnell and Lisa Murkowski!!!!

        They’re all just as E—V—I—L!!!

    1. Get rid of all the Democratic(Communist’s) Party. They are America’s mortal enemy. More so than Germany and Japan in WW2. We have our backs to the wall. It’s either flight or fight. War can’t be avoided now. We are long past the key board warriors scene. Once the military become Marxist we are doom. They are already close. Americans must forget about the Politicians and keep our Constitution to heart and use that and the Declaration of Independence as our guide to what needs to happen next. Talk is over Pray the Rosary and to God as we go into battle.

  2. This doesn’t circumvent anything because they are acting under contract to the Biden administration. This is what you would expect from the USSR not the United States. Biden is running a witch hunt to rid the military of anyone who does sing the democrat party line and it is illegal, just like him.

  3. This man must be stopped along with Harris, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest if their communist totalitarian cohorts!! Patriots in the Legislature have to get off of their butts and start legislation blocking their un-American actions and to get the DOJ to do what they are sworn to do and bring them down!!

  4. Biden and his puppeteers have gone too far. He is undermining the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. He is dangerous to America and all it stands for. It appears that this is only the beginning. His narrow mindedness could contribute to using our tax dollars for the formation of a government office that could ultimately destroy America. He needs to be in a home and those behind him should be in jail.

    1. Get rid of all the Democratic(Communist’s) Party. They are America’s mortal enemy. More so than Germany and Japan in WW2. We have our backs to the wall. It’s either flight or fight.

  5. THE EVIL OF THE NAZI STYLE BUFFOON REGIME IS BEGINNING TO GET VERY SICK IN A VERY STALENESS MANOR. 3 YEARS AND HOW MANY MORE MONTHS DO WE AS A ONCE FREE NATION HAVE TO ENDURE THIS FOOL ELECTED BY FOOLS????

    1. He is a willing traitor and accomplice who is more than willing to accept the benefits of the crime and reward them for their deed.

  6. This action is being taken because the DEMONcrats know that over the next few months a lot of majorly illegal activities are going to be exposed, one of which (committing a coup against the United States) can automatically invoke military law against those involved. Under the uniform code of military justice , UCMJ, this crime calls for a military tribunal to hear the case and mandates execution… So why do you think they want a military that sympathizes with them…

  7. pathetic, will democrats ever get a grip on dealing normally with life instead of seeing doom around every corner? they are so stuck in their terrible 2s; do US all a favor, grow up or off yourselves; I’d prefer the latter; we got too many nasty, mean-spirited commies in this world

  8. It’s a question of whether we have a Civil War or Open Rebellion at this point. We had better accept that , because I don’t believe it’s possible to legislate our way out of this shitshow anymore. Our government is broken and out of control.

    1. Once the military become Marxist we are doom. They are already close. Americans must forget about the Politicians and keep our Constitution to heart and use that and the Declaration of Independence as our guide to what needs to happen next. Talk is over Pray the Rosary and to God as we go into battle.

  9. Wanna bet no Muslim believing activists will be monitored, nor will black extremists. The target of all this will be guys like me, white conservatives who don’t buy in to all the sleazy progressive bullshit. Particularly those of use with spec ops backgrounds. The war is coming brothers and sisters. Be ready, be willing and be able.

    1. Christians are persecuted, police are defunded and murdered and white men can’t get a fair trial. That is reality in the USA in 2021.

    2. Once the military become Marxist we are doom. They are already close. Americans must forget about the Politicians and keep our Constitution to heart and use that and the Declaration of Independence as our guide to what needs to happen next. Talk is over Pray the Rosary and to God as we go into battle.

  10. It worked for Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez and other totalitarians so why not Joe and the Democrat Socialists

  11. So we are now worse than Russia and China with big brother censoring every thing! And I was just being thankful that I live in a country where I am free! No more! We need Trump back! He celebrated freedom. Not Biden! So sad!

  12. “Stalinist” is certainly correct! I wonder if the Democrats who voted for Biden knew just how vicious and underhanded the man really is? Since Democrats, as a generality, don’t think very well – perhaps not. It’s time for the Republican citizens to save the Democrats citizens from themselves, by spreading the information far and wide. The Republican Party can’t seem to get off their dead a**es to do ANY work, and the Democrat Party is completely and totally corrupt. Joe Biden is a wanna-be dictator, and does not respect human civil rights – not even those of the American military.

    1. Spreading information is over with. This shit storm can’t be undone by talk. They are too powerful and control the media and now the Military. I just pray that there are some military who will side with We The People. The Colonialists fought the best Army and Navy in the World. I hope the military sides with us or we will have to do that again.

  13. HOW ABOUT WE HIRE A COMPANY TO SPY ON THIS DEMENTED MARXIST FRUIT CAKE AS WELL! THEN IMPEACH HIS BUTT FOR GOOD!

  14. Instead of wearing an American flag on his lapel, the bastard should wear a Hammer and Sickle pin instead so he can show his true colors. But Biden like other Marxist/Communists likes to lie and hide behind what is American, while doing his best to destroy America. What an ass hole. God Bless America
