What is Behind Gen. Mark Milley's Righteous Race Sermon? Look to the New Domestic War on Terror. - Glenn Greenwald
  • The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture.
  •  Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic "white rage."
"Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified...“it is important that we train and we understand ... and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white."
...Overnight, Gen. Milley became a new hero for U.S. liberalism, a noble military leader which — like former FBI Director Robert Mueller before him — no patriotic, decent American would question let alone mock. 
...But perhaps there is another explanation other than righteous, earnest transformation as to why the top U.S. General has suddenly expressed such keen interest in studying and exploring "white rage”. 
Note that Gen. Milley's justification for the military's sudden immersion in the study of modern race theories is the January 6 Capitol riot — which, in the lexicon of the U.S. security state and American liberalism, is called The Insurrection. 
When explaining why it is so vital to study "white rage,” Gen. Milley argued:

According to the Pentagon, the U.S. intelligence community, and President Joe Biden...the gravest menace to American national security is now domestic in nature. 
Specifically, it is "domestic extremists” in general — and far-right white supremacist groups in particular — that now pose the greatest threat to the safety of the homeland and to the people who reside in it.
In other words, to justify the current domestic War on Terror that has already provoked billions more in military spending and intensified domestic surveillance, the Pentagon must ratify the narrative that those they are fighting in order to defend the homeland are white supremacist domestic terrorists. 
That will not work if white supremacists are small in number or weak and isolated in their organizing capabilities. 
To serve the war machine's agenda, they must pose a grave, pervasive and systemic threat...Read all!
