From The Washington Free Beacon: The Pentagon is slated to host an event on Wednesday making “the case for global justice and democratic socialism” as a means to combat China’s rise, sparking ire on Capitol Hill.

The event, titled, “Responding to China: The Case for Global Justice and Democratic Socialism,” is being hosted by the Institute for National Strategic Studies, a department of the National Defense University, the Pentagon’s top policy shop. The event is open to the public and will be held on the Pentagon’s Strategic Multilayer Assessment platform, a Defense Department initiative that studies global challenges, according to an invitation for the event posted online

Featured speaker Thomas Piketty, a French economist, “will argue that the right answer” to addressing China’s rise “lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism,” according to the event invitation. “If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge.” Piketty is the author of the book Time for Socialism.

The event, which was first reported by the Conservative Brief, is raising eyebrows on Capitol Hill, with Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), a top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, telling the Washington Free Beaconthat the Biden administration is politicizing America’s military.

“Thanks to Joe Biden, our military is more political than ever and the world is less stable than it’s been in decades,” Banks said. “The Pentagon has a lot on its plate. They need to focus on their mission: keeping all Americans safe from foreign threats…”

“Sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we’ll survive a fight with the Chinese navy,” one lieutenant on active duty told congressional investigators in the report. “It’s criminal. They think my only value is as a black woman. But you cut our ship open with a missile and we’ll all bleed the same color.”

The study also found “there was a broad consensus across interviewees on numerous cultural and structural issues that impact the morale and readiness of the Navy’s surface force. These include: an insufficient focus on warfighting skills, the perception of a zero-defect mentality accompanied by a culture of micromanagement, and over-sensitivity and responsiveness to modern media culture…”

Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.) and colleagues on the Senate Armed Services Committee additionally disclosed on Tuesday that the military has spent six million man-hours on “woke” training under the Biden administration.

The trainings were held after the Pentagon issued a controversial “stand down” order on Feb. 5, 2020, to address extremism in its ranks. In total, U.S. service members have spent 5,889,082 man-hours on discussions about extremism and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” training, which the GOP leaders say is part of a leftist attempt to promote liberal ideologies in the military.

“We face real threats across the world, yet the Biden administration is more focused on promoting its leftist social agenda in the military instead of countering China, Russia and Iran or creating an effective counterterrorism plan,” Wicker and his colleagues said in a statement. “Our military is not an extremist organization, and our service members, by and large all good people, are dedicated, faithful patriots.”

I think the Military, because of it’s power had to be brought under the thumb of the left in order to be used against, “We the People. ” So the propaganda training had to start. They had to change the minds of those serving. They use divide and conquer tactics. If you support liberty and Conservative values, if necessary they will cut you out of the military. If they want to at some point bring the military against everyday Americans they can’t have people within the ranks saying no, I won’t do that. Thus, the propaganda thinking.
Americans have been nieve and can’t conceieve that their military could be used against them. I believe that is the plan, otherwise why would all this division and woke training be necessary?
As people of prayer their are many things we should pray for.
We must in my opinion through prayer ask our Father in Heaven to allow those of us who love him to find the words to open the eyes and hearts of people who are lost and confused in todays world. To share Gods love with them. The more who know God and his Son Jesus Christ, the less gullible they are. The more confident they will be when strange world events take place. Pray to strengthen the conviction of those in the Military to withstand the evil coming at them through wokeness ,which is nothing more than a lie from the enemy to help overthrow our country. Pray for their leaders to withstand the training which divides the ranks and pray for the troops who are trying to do the job of protecting our country. All this makes them vulnerable. They must follow the orders given by their superior officers. Let these officers be men of God, not pawns of Satan. In Christs’ name we pray Amen

Psalm 55:9 …..”Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues…”. In other words, divide the language and speech of every stream of thought, belief system that joins together to forge agreement. Put confusion into the camp of the enemy and garble their speech and communication. Send mighty warring angels to strip off of every attendee spirits of brainwashing, plausibility, error and falsehood…in Jesus’s Name. I also bind every hypnotic spirit, in Jesus’s Name. I plead the blood of the Lamb to be sprinkled on every heart and their consciences to be cleansed from an evil conscience and dead works to serve the living God. Send policing angels to break up demonic strongholds and to strip the blinders off everyone’ Eyes. Unstop their ears. Let every lying tongue be cut off. Take away the demonic fortifications that surrounded the speakers…they are but men . I speak John 7::17,18..” If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”
Free up the attendees to think for themselves. I cancel the assignment of this program. Reveal it as folly, in Jesus’s Name. Amen

People have been brainwashed, bought off, and secretly placed in position in all levels of the military and government. There are foxes in the hen house. We must continue to fast and pray and seek God for strategies.

Without the Fear of God there is no other way to bring back liberty and Justice for all !!
If our foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?
Truth is a person named Jesus Christ !
Without Truth there is no foundation for liberty and He is tge source of our freedom !!
For only whom theson set free is free indeed !!
And He is the way the truth and the Life!
Every house not built on the rock will fall in the storm !
We have opportunity now to choose freedom or allow our liberties to be snuffed out from us!!
We have lost our moral compass and it will not be restored unless our conscience is restored !!
There must be an active turning away from all that constitutes our falling away from God’s way individually and as a nation !
It is merely foolish to think that we can ignore and delete the creator from His creation and expect His blessing anyway??
God is not mocked ! He is always Good always forgiving and invites all to call upon His Name and receive mercy!
Everyone who calls upon His name shall be delivered!!!
Choose this day America who will yu serve ??
In God we trust did not show up on our dollar by chance ! Our history speaks truth and truth that’s received brings freedom!!
Let God be true and everyman a liar!
His mercy endures forever !
Let Gid Aruse and all Hus enemies be scattered in America !
Let Hus name be feared and honored again in this great land !
It was fir freedom that He set us free!
Now us our time to choose !
Freedom and liberty or Control and destruction of our nation !!
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord !
Fir His Gliry I pray America shall be saved !!!

The military is no place for socialist indoctrination! (Nor are our schools! Nor anyplace else in America!) Democrats need to be turned out of office–soon! Too many are controlled (i.e., blackmailed) by party leadership and socialist ideology rather than representing the people. Does this sound like democracy? What happened to We the People?! This November had better see a huge tidal wave of Democrats being turned out of office at all levels. We do not need George Soros’ minions remaking America to his liking.

The left went after President Trump to impeach him with no evidence of wrongdoing. For the life of me I can’t understand why No one is bringing Biden up on multiple charges of treason for his many known, documented, and published betrayals to our nation and we, the people, and the many dangerous situations he is putting us in. In the past if you ran for office you had to sign an affidavit that you are not a socialist, and we allow Biden and other democratic socialists and enemies of our country to remain in office?

Having been in the Army at and during the crash of moral and discipline after Viet Nam, I can say that was a bad time for America. Now, with the Lt. Fuzz cadre in charge of our forces, the moral, discipline, and readiness has cascaded far below when Sgts, and Lts were being thrown out of 3rd floor windows in wall lockers, gangs were intact and in place, and the NCO’s were demeaned by Lt’s who assumed the duties of the NCO’s.

My son tried to join the Navy but there were some weird gliches that kept him out. After reading this, I have no doubt it was God’s doing; he would not have responded well to this brainwashing & probably would’ve been dishonorably discharged!!
Could this be in preparation for having the military go against the citizens, especially patriots? I have no doubt.

They are simply encouraging their own religion in the government. Under a different name of course, while they attempt to maintain a so called separation of religion and state.

Far too many of our politicians are pushing for One World Order. They are trying to bring about the end of our form of government for their own personal greed. Socialism/Communism is being fed to our children, brainwashing them into thinking it is a good thing. I fear for our nation, and the freedom we will lose if they get their way. It is happening and far too many are blinded by the lies they are being told. We, the American people must stand up for our Constitution and our freedoms or we will lose our nation.

I pray that all these anti God people get exposed. This country is a Christian Nation, inspired by God to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. We have to be God inspired on the inside so our light can shine.
Please Father get rid of all darkness that is not for you. We do not want to put up with this spiritual darkness any longer. No more grays. It’s got to be light or dark. It’s time to let Your Light Shine.

I tried to tell the brass back when women were only allowed to be 10% of the Navy population that it was going the wrong direction. They gave me silly, cute excuses! Thank GOD it was also a time when homosexuals were serving but not openly. My command tried to put me in a barracks room with 2 lesbians, I told them to put me in a room with 2 men instead, because 1, they treated and gave me more respect and 2, I knew how to deal with them! Every time I had to work with a lesbian within a matter of a few minutes they would start talking about their sexual exploits, and would try to get cheap feels, the men don’t do that neither do the other straight females! They push their way constantly! They can’t get to our generation, so they went after our children!

What has our nation become? We don’t need to worry about outsiders destroying our many freedoms…I feel it has been proven that our very own people in this country are destroying our freedoms from within. We must take back our country before we are a 3rd world nation and a socialist nation as well. Most of our so-called leaders are part of the take down of our nation and are following the “agenda” to socialism. GOD is our only Hope to enlighten those who want to change our nation to the evilness of socialism.

This stuff makes me crazy! People are literally dying to get to our free country! But there are those who criticize our form of democratic govt. iIf they are so unhappy, why don’t THEY LEAVE! Most of us LIKE how our govt is run. Well, mostly until that brain-dead jackass (in the W.H.)has soiled our leadership in the world. He has made us weaker, and now we are in more danger from threats OUTSIDE and INSIDE as well.

The French guy shoulda been the first clue- as in Revelations, where will the epicenter axis of evil be- Europe. Anti-US sovereignty opponents such as Merkel, Macron, Pope, EU Brussels, City of London financial nwo cabal nest (including the Davos, WEF, billionaire groups) – these are who Biden et al have handed US over to. Tepid, vague, dishwater prayers ain’t gonna cut it. Churches practicing ‘body life’ and covered-casserole comfort zone events are clinging to a decades-old church culture without The Spirit of Prophecy and The Holy Spirit’s Gifts. Churches are not about sitting in a pew and some poor Preacher up front literally killing themselves striving to keep that building and congregation inching forward. Every one of us can have a personal relationship to Jesus, no holds barred. With nothing and no-one in-between. Then each one of us is a church! Then, come together and that Pastor don’t have to do all the heavy lifting!!! For all of you still showing up to church, still doing that for Jesus in any capacity- you are still better than me, because that’s the ideal- each body an individual co-equal temple of God, coming together to rock the walls off with Worship Praise and THANKS to Our God!!! I hope there’s special crowns and rewards in Heaven awaiting you for sticking with ‘the building’!!! God Bless You All!!!! Forward!!!

This is not acceptable! It’s time for all representatives in both houses to stand up to the communism taking over our country! Anybody who does not believe in America and the ideas it was founded on, needs to step down! We do not believe in communism we believe in freedom! There are plenty of country’s where these communists can live among the like minded. America is not one of them!

This is a very public example of how our military is being weakened and destroyed from within – no need to fight a physical war if you can brainwash your enemy to adopt your point of view and join you – having them surrender the way of life they were trained and sworn in to protect and defend. Remember, many people have given their lives, beginning with the Revolutionary War, so that this country might survive and live as a bastion of freedom (which is why people still come here from all over the world). When they take us over by taking over our minds and speech, it will solve our immigration problem – we will be indistinguishable from any other nation in the world – so why risk anything to come here? This Pentagon event is further evidence of this administration cooperating with those who would destroy us and are attempting to do so, one conference like this at a time – our military should be protecting us not joining forces with our enemy. God is our only hope, prayer our best weapon against the forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Lord, we pray against the brainwashing calling evil good and good evil etc. May the truth of Your word continually renew our minds and keep us focused on what is right and good, on what honors You. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

Our country is in serious trouble at every level. Beyond the obvious of what we see, bottom line this is spiritual warfare & most Christians (Inc most pastors) don’t see it nor believe it. Lay all this at the church house door. Revival-few if any Christians know anything about. How bad does it have to get before the church wakes up?

The enemy at the gate is even now already inside the gates. We must deal with the leftist communist who are promoting the ideological poison inside our military. The GOP must stop all politicization of our military. Combat readiness and the security of the nation is its responsibility and mission, not whether we can get along with China in the geopolitical world.

I am disappointed at the focus of diversity in this administrative staff. While many think this is good, why is incorrect to appoint the most qualified person? When did we stop serving the people who elected us and start serving the agendas? I pray that someone in this administration, steps up and stops this haenus agenda. Our elected leaders need to no back to the country’s founders precepts and not their own agenda.

Dear Yeshua/Jesus I pray for this country and it’s military leadership to repent for turning away from your love and truth. As a former Marine that served honorably my heart cries out as I witness how far we have strayed from Your truth and goodness. I stand in the gap in prayer as I beseech your forgiveness for this country that you have blessed so mightily. It grieves my soul that we have turned our backs on your truth. Bring our hearts and souls back to you in a mighty revival by the power of Your Holy Ghost. In my spirit I sense a nearing of Your second coming as I witness the prophetic signs of the end times! The bow that was released by the rider on the white horse in
Revelations 6:2 was given a crown (Corona) and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. Corona has affected the whole earth and it’s just the beginning of woes. Thank you Yeshua/Jesus that you have given your saints the insight to see the things that you have prophesied to come to pass so that we will not be caught unaware! Help us to endure till the end. What a glorious day it will be when You return to establish Your government in the earth in Your New Holy City Jerusalem. Protect your saints from the Mark of the Beast in these final hours! Give us strength and wisdom to endure until your glorious return!

This is a sad situation that this nation finds itself in…every single man and woman who gave their lives in defense of this nation is probably spinning and doing somersaults in their graves. I never thought I would live to see the day where someone would actually be stupid enough to even consider socialism as a viable option for this country…anyone who thinks that way deserves to be labeled ‘dumber than a sack of rocks’. God help us all.

Connect the dots. This administration pulls the sheets up to its chin on the bed it shares with China and Russia. This is a celebration of a soft invasion. Maybe the movie “Red Dawn” wasn’t so bad after all.
Father! The enemy is at the gates! Cause this haughty plan to fall apart! Send Your armies to bring this plan to ruin! Cause us to shout a global cry that the walls of Jericho would collapse and all the wickedness exposed.

“The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.”
