The Biden Defense Department has ordered saturation bombing. No, not a saturation bombing of Russia or Afghanistan. The Biden Pentagon is carrying out a saturation propaganda bombing of the U.S. military and the American public. It’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month after all, so, of course, we must have an all-out offensive to show our total embrace of “diversity.” And it’s not just a Pride Day or Pride Week. We must carpet bomb our troops and our taxpayers for an entire month with indoctrination on the wonders of gender fluidity and the horrors of oppressive patriarchal cisgender heteronormativity. Thus, the Pentagon has joined with Disney, State Farm, Google, Apple, the UN’s World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations, and hundreds of other woke corporations, politicians, and globalist NGOs in a month-long orgy of agitprop for any and all things polymorphous perverse.

The U.S. Marine Corps stirred a hornets’ nest on June 1 with a tweet featuring a combat helmet with rainbow-colored bullets strapped to it. “Throughout June,” the tweet said, “the USMC takes Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members. We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect.”

The U.S. Air Force tweeted a black-and-white photo of an arguably female airman giving a salute with a rainbow-adorned arm. The tweet says: “Happy Pride Month! We are the best #USAF by leveraging the diverse backgrounds & strengths of each member of our total force. We are committed to making the #AIR FORCE a place where all can reach their full potential.”

The U.S. Army went a bit edgier, with a biracial lesbian couple bedecked in white t-shirts and rainbow face paint hugging, along with a biracial homosexual couple in uniform and in a slightly more sedate embrace. The Twitter message: “Happy #PrideMonth! Throughout June, the #USArmy joins the Nation in paying tribute to the selfless and dedicated service of brave LGBTQ Soldiers & Civilians who have made our military stronger and the nation safer!”

Meanwhile, the U.S. Space Force tweet featured a toy astronaut with a rainbow flag and “QUEER SPACE” emblazoned across the dark void of outer space, apparently claiming it for the LGBTQ+ “community.” The text reads:

“Maj. Gen. Leah Lauderback spoke on how the LIT is working to change policy, change minds, and create opportunities for LGBTQ+ members of the military during an interview with @airandspace.”

Back on terra firma, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency’s tweet included an animated graphic of hands painting a series of rainbow-colored diagonal bands, along with text declaring: “At DIA, our success depends on the skills and backgrounds of a diverse and inclusive workforce. During, #PrideMonth join us as we celebrate our #LGBTQ+ teammates for their contributions to our mission.”

Naturally, the tweets from the various military services and DOD agencies were but the opening volley in the month-long psychological operation. Stars and Stripes, the official newspaper of the Department of Defense, for instance, provides our men and women in the military services with articles such as “June brings a plethora of colorful Pride events” and “Meet the Navy veteran who created the transgender pride flag.”

The DOD Pride orgy includes a deluge of posters (see here and here), memos, ceremonial events, speeches, and invocations (yes, prayers) lauding LGBTQ Service Members.

“Pride Month is a time to come together to honor the contributions of LGBTQ+ people,” said Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen H. Hicks in her speech at the 11th LBGTQ+ Pride Ceremony at the Pentagon on June 7.

“The Defense Department strives to lead on issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, including for LGBTQ+ people,” she said. “DOD is committed to ensuring and promoting an atmosphere of dignity and respect for all civilian and military personnel,” Hicks continued. “We strive to make the Department of Defense a workplace of choice for all Americans willing and qualified to serve. In doing so, we set a bedrock foundation where all personnel are valued and given an equal opportunity to succeed.”

The Defense Department, Hicks said, is developing a diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) “strategic plan to guide and direct activities to further those initiatives within the department.”

“To that end, Secretary [Lloyd] Austin and I are committed to holding leaders at all levels responsible for fostering climates of inclusion that support DEIA,” Hicks continued. “Pride Month is a time to celebrate our progress, and it’s also a time for the department, the nation and the world to acknowledge the challenges that remain and to reaffirm our commitment to equality for LGBTQ+ people.”

Biden Launches LGBTQI+ Pride Tsunami With Proclamation

The U.S. Armed Services are not the only target of the Biden administration’s “Pride” obsession, of course. Every federal agency and Cabinet office has instituted similar LGBTQ+ propaganda campaigns. Joe Biden kicked off the month-long crusade with a presidential “Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month, 2022”

“During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation in the fight for justice, inclusion, and equality while reaffirming our commitment to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and abroad,” Biden said in the lengthy declaration that fervently embraced all the LBGTQ talking points.

You may have noticed that someone in the White House added “Intersex” to the Biden pronouncement, and an “I” to the LGBTQ+ lineup. It doesn’t end there; there is always a new group of deviant “victims” who demand to have recognition. So, we have LGBTQIAPD+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Demisexual) and even more ridiculously “inclusive” acronyms with letters to represent those identifying as Skoliosexual, Bigender, Agender, Androsexual, Metrosexual, Two-Spirit, and on and on. Thus the “+” sign becomes a +++ ad infinitum.

It Didn’t Start With Biden

Even though Joe Biden boasts of being the most pro-LGBTQI+ president in our nation’s history — and he is doing everything within his power to prove it — he would not be able to be pushing the perversion agenda so aggressively except for the decades of groundwork that had already paved the way for his current offensive.

Twenty-four years ago, in a June 1998 article entitled “The Queering of America,” The New American exposed the master plan for this agenda, as presented by queer strategists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen in their book After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90’s

Kirk and Madsen are two Harvard-trained professionals in neuropsychiatry, public persuasion, and social marketing. They called for a massive new media, public relations, and advertising “propaganda campaign.” “Gays must launch a large-scale campaign … to reach straights through the mainstream media,” the authors wrote. “We’re talking about propaganda,” they wrote, noting that “propaganda relies more upon emotional manipulation than upon logic, since its goal is, in fact, to bring about a change in the public’s feelings.”

“The main thing,” they asserted, “is to talk about gayness until the issue becomes thoroughly tiresome.” (Emphasis in original.) Accordingly, they said, the “free and frequent discussion of gay rights by a variety of persons in a variety of places gives the impression that homosexuality is commonplace. That impression is essential, because … the acceptability of any new behavior ultimately hinges on the proportion of one’s fellows accepting or doing it.”

Naturally, the hedonists of Hollywood and Big Media were already on board with this and began implementing the specific Kirk-Madsen schemes to super-saturate popular culture and daily “news” with everything LGBTQ, while simultaneously demonizing all who opposed their systematic attacks on our moral foundations.

Kirk and Madsen called upon their fellow deviants and allies to fuel this revolution by harnessing their fury, hate, and rage against their heterosexual oppressors. “Fury galvanizes,” wrote the authors. “Now it must drive all of us to decisive action. America in the 1990s is the time and place for rage — ice-cold, controlled, directed rage.”

The duo left no doubt that the revolution they advocated was nothing less than total war against America and Biblical morality. In their own words, they refer to their subversive insurgency as “war” and constantly invoke aggressive, military terms such as “Trojan Horse,” “deception,” “propaganda,” “war strategy,” “battle tactics,” “hand-to-hand combat,” “rage,” “fury,” “enemy,” “war conference,” “attack,” “hate,” “vilify,” “destroy,” “conquer,” “subvert,” etc.

We wrote at the time, “The militant sodomites have made it explicitly clear that tolerance is not sufficient; they demand positive ‘approval’ from society, manifested in the enactment of laws granting them special rights, and the abolition of the residual laws that impede their full homoerotic expression and deny their full access to children. Moreover, as we shall see, they insist on the complete ‘conversion’ of ‘straight’ society, which involves the therapeutic cleansing of all ‘homophobic,’ ‘homo-hating,’ ‘anti-gay bias’ attitudes.”

Elon Musk or Bill Maher for Defense Secretary?

Perhaps someone will start a petition calling on Biden to fire Defense Secretary Austin and replace him with someone more committed to our national defense than to wokeness and social engineering. Maybe someone such as Elon Musk or Bill Maher.

Musk set off the left-wing Twittersphere on May 31 with a tweet declaring, “June is almost here” accompanied by a meme showing a whirlwind of corporate logos in rainbow colors and a man in the foreground screaming “Here it comes!”

As to be expected, Musk’s post elicited an avalanche of outrage from the LGBTQI+++ mob bashing the billionaire as a homophobe and transphobe.

Bill Maher has also enraged the alphabet mob for daring to say, “Someone needs to say it: Not everything’s about you.” 

In his HBO Real Time monologue on May 20, Maher angered “progressives” by poking fun at LGBTQ trendiness and (horrors!) suggesting that children should not be experimented on with hormone therapies and transgender surgery. He cited surveys showing the LGBTQ+ population “doubling every generation.” 

“According to a recent Gallup poll, less than one percent of Americans born before 1946 — that’s Joe Biden’s generation — identify that way: 2.6 percent of boomers do, 4.2 percent of Gen X, 10.5 percent of millennials, and 20.8 percent of Gen Z,” Maher said, as an animated graphic charted the dramatic increase in sexual “diversity.” “Which means if we follow this trajectory we will all be gay in 2054,” he joked, then continued:

When things change this much, this fast, people are allowed to ask: “What’s up with that?” All the babies are in the wrong bodies? It wasn’t that long ago that when adults asked a kid “what do you want to be when you grow up,” they meant “what profession”

“It’s a blow being struck in culture wars, using children as cannon fodder,” Maher warned, before continuing:

And never forget: Children are impressionable and very, very stupid…. They’re kids; it’s all phases! Gender fluid? Kids are fluid about everything. If kids knew what they wanted to be at age 8, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God no one took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg-leg surgery.

Bill Maher may be a liberal-left atheist and self-identified hedonist, but he obviously has more sense and courage to stand up to the dangerous subversion of the alphabet mob than do Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Pentagon underlings.
