Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered military-wide stand-downs pausing regular activity to “address white nationalism” in the ranks and rid the military of “extremists and racists.” . . .
The Pentagon did not clearly define what makes one an extremist or how they will deal with extremism among the ranks.
“We don’t know how we’re going to be able to get after this in a meaningful, productive, tangible way and that is why he had this meeting today and that is why he certainly ordered this stand-down,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters. . . .
Reuters reported:
The U.S. military on Wednesday acknowledged it was unsure about how to address white nationalism and other extremism in its ranks, and announced plans for military-wide stand-downs pausing regular activity at some point in the next 60 days to tackle the issue.
The decision to a hold a stand-down was made by Lloyd Austin, who made history by becoming the military’s first Black defense secretary after a long career rising in the ranks of the Army. In his confirmation hearing, Austin underscored the need to rid the military of “racists and extremists”. . . .
The secretary’s goal was to purge the department of Trump loyalists who were appointed to various advisory boards at the last minute.
Lloyd Austin also called for an “immediate suspension” of all committee operations while the Pentagon conducts a review of 42 advisory committees.
“Advisory committees have and will continue to provide an important role in shaping public policy within [the Department of Defense],” Lloyd Austin said in his memo to the department. “That said, our stewardship responsibilities require that we continually assess to ensure each advisory committee provides appropriate value today and in the future, as times and requirements change.” . . .

…that we may be joined together in love and have all the riches derived from being ASSURED of understanding and fully knowing God’s secret truth, which is…the Messiah! It is in Him that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden. I say this so no-one will fool you with plausible but specious arguments. 2 Colossians 2-4. Jewish New Testament
Specious: Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious.
Synonyms: beguiling, deceitful, deceiving, deceptive, deluding, delusive, delusory, fallacious, false, misleading
I was unfamiliar withf this word until my morning’s reading. I thank God that I believe and I thank Him that all my questions are as valid to Him as His truths are to me. I will let you make your own connections as He led me all over the place this morning. Blessings to you all as you struggle in faithful prayer….and in this time of speciousness.
Lord I’m boldly asking you to remove any leaders or heads of departments that seek to implement a evil agenda hidden behind “veiled terminology”. Expose them, replace them and give those working for or with them the courage and wisdom to stand against these ungodly actions. Amen.
More foolishness, military training produces a trust in your fellow soldier to have your back. Let the military do it’s job, honor the pledge, keep the trust.Lord be a help in times of trouble for our troops. We pray for our officers to have the moral character necessary to lead men.
Father in heaven, from whom nothing is hidden.
Our military swears to be loyal to and to defend the Constitution. I pray for those in high positions of leadership. You have placed each one there, for such a time as this. Protect them, Lord, and give them the wisdom, discernment and courage to stand against all evil that threatens our nation, especially the evil from within. Use them Lord, as an arrow in your quiver, to turn the course of our nation back to honoring you. Thank you for our service men and woman. Use these days to draw each one of them into a personal relationship with you. Amen
I am glad you brought up the oath of enlistment all service members must take. I strongly suspect we we see the wicked in high places seek to replace it soon with some oath that will on the surface seem to speak of fighting supposed evils in our society but under the surface and between the lines will be designed to bind our service members to a dark cause. Lord protect our men and women in uniform and I pray fervently that there are still enough leaders in our military with the moral courage, faith in You, and spiritual conviction to resist these evil maneuvers of the enemy. Dear Lord, grant our military commanders with wisdom, discernment, and faith in this troubled time. Lord please do not let our soldiers, sailors, Airmen, and marines become the pawns of evil. In Jesus precious name I pray Oa’ Lord, Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, I spent most of my adult life serving this nation in uniform, and I see this lie for what it is. Lord, the forces of evil like to use fear elicit compliance. Just as a bad parent might try to use fear get children to obey them, like the idea that a boogey man hides under their bed and will get them if they don’t go to sleep, so too does the left use the boogey men of racism, sexism, and numerous other “isms” to elicit compliance from the masses. This man has shown his true colors as a rank and file member of the evil alliance that has hijacked this nation. When they talk of weeding out racists and extremists from the ranks of the military what they really mean is installing radical extremists into the military to make our armed forces more compliant. How soon we forget O’ Lord, the lessons of the past. As they search for an imaginary enemy, how will they use this opportunity? Lord, deliver this nation, yes, and this whole world, from the evil that has ensnared it. Many are so blind to this but many, thanks to Your enlightenment, see what is going on. As it says in Daniel 12:10, “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.” What is going on in our land is so obvious. God protect our servicemen and women from the evil persecution being thrust upon them. Indeed Lord, protect us all from the evil that is coming, for it is already here. In Jesus precious name I pray O’ Lord, Amen.
God, I pray: precious, loving Holy Spirit speak to hearts of those perpetrating wickedness and redeem them by the power of Jesus blood so they come into Your Kingdom to be part of the glorious things You are doing on earth today. Amen
P.S. I was saved from the kingdom of darkness and became a born again Christian while serving in US Navy.
I grew up all over the world, living on USAF jet bases…my son is also an aviator in the USAF. I pray for a Godly strength and resolve in all of our men and women in uniform. Thank you Danny and Mel for your military service to our country as well as your service to the Lord.
