Obama's 'Countering Violent Extremism' Program Collapses Into Absurdity

In February 2015, President Obama hosted a three-day summit on "Countering Violent Extremism" (CVE) that featured a roll-out of three local programs in Boston, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. This culminated CVE efforts by the Obama administration going back to 2011.

But just over a year from Obama's White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism, the programs are now admittedly a complete failure -- and publicly rejected by elements of the very communities they intend to serve.

Even at the time of the summit, the CVE programs had already been deemed a failure.

These programs are also a practical failure in preventing violent extremism. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported on one Somali youth leader in Minneapolis associated with government-funded CVE programs who later attempted to join the Islamic State.

As with all Liberal Programs, it’s the thought that counts.

It is cute they write the article from the view this program was ever intended to actually work.

Does anything with the word program in it do anything constructive at all? They all seem as useless as majors that have the word ‘studies’ or ‘science’ in them. I must be unfairly priveledged because I do not need a single ‘program’ to get by day to day, but I certainly get to pay for them

Hussein’s program has been VERY effective at kicking the can down the road. Running out the clock with the usual Flim-Flam, Okie-Dokie, Bamboozle, Mumbo-Jumbo act.

The only thing this initiative was intended to do was provide lucrative jobs for community activists. It has succeeded in doing that.

So I’m sure the liberal “solution” is to spend more money on them.

The programs bought more government workers, more government money to government unions and government bureaucracies.
