The Army Research Office has sent $5 million to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to “evaluate and defend against emerging cognitive threats”. One might be forgiven for wondering what a ‘cognitive threat’ is exactly. It's you.
Very insightful article, Sarah. I suppose, therefore, that each of us, as Christians, should pray for God's blessing to be the best "cognitive threat" that the Holy Spirit can make us. We should also pray that God might grant us the ability to spread "misinformation," once known as the truth of the gospel, to all tribes and nations. Indeed, it is ironic to be called a "bigot" for upholding Biblical standards of marriage and family or called a "threat" for affirming Christian "narratives" that might "influence the beliefs and behaviors" of others. That all human beings are morally responsible to God and in need of grace is just such a "narrative." It is an unpopular narrative these days in some quarters, one associated with pro-life views (e.g., "The unnecessary sacrifice of innocent life is always morally wrong") and anti-LGBT+ opinions (e.g., "Men cannot be women; and women cannot be men"). The unreflective arrogance of the government grant to the University of Arkansas is astonishing. Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children." One should remember that Bonhoeffer was considered a "cognitive threat" by the Third Reich.
Is it unfair to mention this in a discussion criticizing questionable U.S. government programs? Well, when the FBI targets pro-Life Catholics for legal harassment, the burden of proof shifts to the federal government to prove that the comparison is inaccurate. In 2021, A swat team of twenty armed federal agents arrested Mark Houck, a pro-life, Catholic leader, in the middle of the night. The only things missing were the brown shirts and German accents. In January 2023, Houck was acquitted in federal court of the charges that the DOJ brought against him, but the government action has sent a chill through the pro-life community. Though “weaponized” narratives seem curious targets for a military grant, the government intimidation of pro-life advocates by weaponizing government enforcement agencies is real enough. Mark Houck and his wife are now suing the federal government for malicious prosecution. Let us pray for a decision in their favor.
This is why the founders believed that the majority of the nation’s military defense should be in the hands of the civilian militia, consisting of all able bodied males. They recognized the need for a small body of well trained professionals, hence the military academies.
Who was the author of “Country Folk Will Survive?” The orphans from the cities once went out to childless farmers. But there are few family farms anymore. So where do the grown males go after crossing the border?
Good question. I think for now they are given gift cards and sent to the cities where the purpose is to produce a Cloward Piven breakdown of the social system, with the goal bringing in a socialist government.
No doubt other countries are sending soldiers in in this fashion, and they will be organized clandestinely by their armies. The Soviets in the cold war were believed to have Spetznaz units abiding though ought the land, with buried weapons caches of various sorts. Supposedly, things needed for attacks on infrastructure would be delivered by cruise missile to remote locations. Chinese special forces units are no doubt here, and are believed to be embedded in Chinese construction projects through-out the world.
I'm not familiar with "Country Folk Will Survive." Their is the Hank Williams, Jr. song A Country Boy Will Survive
". . .combat these emerging threats in a global context. . ." In other words, let's all just forget about the US Constitution's 1st amendment. You know, for the "greater good."
This is shocking. I pay tax money to fund U.S. military action to censor me, a U.S. citizen. What will they think of next? Gulags and concentration camps run the by U.S. military are in the planning stage, I suppose.
I wonder what governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders thinks of this? She was president Trump's press secretary for 2 yrs. Her father Mike Huckabee was the longest serving AR governor.
POSSEE COMATIUS. The US military cannot police the citizens. The only thing any military force of ours can be used against us is the National Guard in times of national unrest or a natural disaster. The politicians seem to have lost their rulebook (the constitution) some time ago.
"The politicians seem to have lost their rulebook (the constitution)..."
After taking an oath to uphold the Constitution, you might think that the military would be aware of what's in it. But the oaths of people totally without honor mean nothing.
Also, wanting illegal immigrants to take the oath to prove their loyalty to this country is ridiculous. They have already committed a felonious act illegally entering here, weather or not they were assisted and paid by our treasonous government officials. They will be no asset to this country. more of something we all need to keep an eagle eye on.

There are plenty of able bodied military aged males coming to the US. Perhaps you didn’t notice?

That's all in the pipeline. Meanwhile most Americans remain apathetic. Our once great republic is ending, it was a good run & lasted longer than most.
Nope. Already done. Ask a Jan 6 political prisoner about speedy justice and ask a Jan 6 committee member about the Epstein client list.

I am going to delete and destroy this disinformation post by Sarah Cain, Crusader Girl.
Is there not a secure fileroom in the cone of silence?
What about fighting against "that conversation" the likes of VP Kamalamadingdong keep saying "we need to have."
After that, euphemisim speak.
