Irresistible Revolution is a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces. In it, author Matthew Lohmeier provides answers to many important questions that Americans are currently asking: Is systemic racism a reality, or is much of our talk about race merely a rhetorical tool used to divide Americans? Why has the Defense Department suddenly shifted to a focus on extremism within the ranks? Is there really a white supremacy or white nationalist problem within our armed forces? Are the many Diversity and Inclusion trainings that are being conducted in our federal agencies helping solve these problems, or are they creating conflict where none previously existed? What is Marxism, and what does it have to do with all of this?...
After becoming aware of the Marxist conquest of American society, you will never again look at things in the same way. Mainstream media, social media, the public [government] education system (including universities), as well as federal agencies have all become vessels of various schools of thought that are rooted in Marxist ideology - an ideology bent on the destruction of America's history, of Western tradition, specifically Judeo-Christian values, and of patriotism and conservatism. Marxism's sinister and dark agenda has led the country into what some have called a cold civil war. The problem has become systemic, a tragedy considering that the defeat of Marxist-communist ideology was the very cause against which our nation spent great treasures of blood and iron during much of the twentieth century....
Make no mistake: the kind of indoctrination that Lohmeier recounts in his book is nothing less than treasonous – a manifest attempt to sow discord and crush patriotism, thus rendering the military useless as a fighting force. Barring a massive public outcry, it seems unlikely that Lohmeier’s whistleblowing will result in serious changes in DoD practices under the current government. Yet if he and his book get sufficient attention in the new media, his revelations may go a long way toward ending Democratic control on Capitol Hill next year – and, provided a few Republicans with backbone are voted into office, may help spell an end to the DoD’s woke lunacy. This, at least, must be our goal.
“It’s particularly bad for this to be taught to our young troopers, whether it’s at service academy use or in professional military education, or just in routine quarterly or annual training, because they need to look to their right and their left and see not the representative of a racial group, but a battle buddy, a comrade in arms who will lay down their life in defense of each other and their nation,” Cotton said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.
America’s enemies benefit from internally undermining the U.S. armed forces through left-wing politics, Cotton noted.
He remarked, “If I were in a foreign intelligence service, I can think a few things that would be more destructive to morale and unit cohesion in the United States military than critical race theory, the idea that we are somehow simply representatives of our race as opposed to American patriots who are wearing the flag of our country in defense of our common ideals.”...
Colonel Lohmeier: ... Until the past couple years, I had never paid any attention to the evolution or emergence of Marxism within American society and institutions, let alone in our military services.
However, for many years, I, like so many others, observed the deleterious impact of political correctness and radical relativism, which has ultimately ushered in the outright rejection of objective truth and reason. I never quite understood the origins of these various impulses until I started to understand the philosophical roots of postmodernism and the history of Marxist thought. All these things then came into clear focus, and it was revealed precisely why these ideas are all so divisive. It is because they were created to be divisive.
I am often asked, “how did this happen?” or, “when did this happen?” How is it, for example, that American people and institutions — predominantly our education system, and now, all federal agencies including even our military services — increasingly resonate and align with Marxist thought? How is it that Americans can now so easily question or forget the greatness of the American ideal and become victims to the tactics of subversion? Why haven’t we been able to recognize our slide into Marxism? There are two ways this has happened: gradually, then suddenly....
For starters, we must reject CRT, especially as a basis for our Diversity and Inclusion trainings, and return to the greatness of the American ideal....
