Looks like the plan is to Neutralize the military first
Bishop Garrison, the man in charge of the program, was appointed to advise the defense secretary on issues regarding 'human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion' within the department.
Garrison, who is a West Point military graduate, has previously suggested that anyone who supported President Trump was a racist.
Purge at the Pentagon: Outrage as Defense Secretary's woke race adviser plans trawl of military personnel's social media for 'extremist and concerning behavior' - using private company to circumvent the First Amendment
The Pentagon is planning to 'continuously' trawl the social media accounts of military personnel for extremist behavior and views under a pilot program
Details of the program haven't been made public but emerged from sources and internal documents obtained by The Intercept
The program is being spearheaded by Bishop Garrison, a senior advisor to President Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
Garrison has previously said Trump and his supporters are racist and is an advocate for Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project
Officials say it'll use the services of a private surveillance company to try and circumvent or avoid any criticism regarding First Amendment protections
Babel Street, a company that sells social media monitoring software, is the front runner to carry out the surveillance
The program will likely use keyword searches on social media to identify military personnel with extremist political views or behaviors
Furious critics have been quick to slam news of the potential program, saying the keyword search strategy is flawed because it is an invasion of privacy
They also argue it will return 'false positives' and undermine morale if military personnel are constantly second guessing what they post on social media
