Navy SEAL who spoke for parental rights at school board gets probed for 'extremist' ties
WND ^ | 11/15/2023 | WND News Services

A Navy SEAL is under investigation for suspected association with unspecified extremist organizations after photos and videos surfaced of him speaking with members of the Proud Boys at parental rights protests, according to media reports and the visual documentation.

Chief Special Warfare Operator Bryce Henson, who also goes by the pseudonym Ben Richards, became a known figure in his community for participating in parental rights protests and advocating against LGBTQ+ indoctrination at school board and city council meetings, Military.com reported. A local photographer began compiling photos and videos of Henson standing with Proud Boys members and documenting allegations of verbal harassment.

He’s currently under investigation for “possibly participating with, or supporting, extremist causes,” Navy spokesman Cmdr. Ben Tisdale told Military.com.

“While sailors are always allowed to exercise their rights to freedom of speech and assembly if they follow the law and policy restriction, participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is contradictory to the core values of the Navy and is not tolerated by [Navy Special Warfare],” Tisdale told the outlet.

Henson, operating under the Richards moniker, described himself as the founder of SoCal Parent Advocates, a parents group opposing Critical Race Theory, “radical gender ideology” and “vaccine and mask tyranny,” according to its website.

If he joined the communist party of America that would be OK.

If he wanted a sex change, that would be OK.

If he attended a BLM protest a while back, even if it went violent, that would be OK.

What we call justice as well as our background checks and polygraphs have all become perverted, polluted by weirdo ideas that are blind in the left eye.

IIRC< we still have the right to freedom of association. The Proud Boys are an “extremist organization” but Antifa and BLM aren’t?

The Proud Boys have the temerity to celebrate the Constitution and men who revere their wives and children.

Ergo, ..extremists.

And people wonder why military enlistments are falling through the floor.

Because anyone with an IQ over 90 that can see that your own woke government and all its Obama-Biden-Holder Nomenklatura hate you.

participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is contradictory to the core values of the Navy and is not tolerated

Does this mean everyone in the Military that has associated with the anyone in the DOJ or FBI will be investigated?

How is a “Hate” or “Extremist” group defined? These are terms so big that one can drive a truck through them. How are these terms even allowed to stand up legally in the US justice system?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

This was a political purge.

Literally a Stalin like purge, only thank God, we don’t shoot people in the back of the head yet.

When Biden came to power and his legitimacy is highly questionable, it was advantageous for him to remove these folks.

1.) J6 eliminated the leadership of three major organizations which would have caused Biden trouble while in office: Proud Boys, Oath Takers and one more.

2.) It was not without coincidence that Pelosi and others immediately used terms like sedition and insurrection. The idea was to plant the seed that Trump is disqualified in 2024 since there is federal legal code which uses these terms.

3.) The media supports the Democrats and favors Biden, so it wasn’t hard to use them as the “useful idiot” in de-legitimizing the movement questioning the elections. Instead of Biden and the elections being the issue, they made it about a make belief insurrection and at the same time made those people questioning the elections look like crazy radicals.

4.) When the FBI interviews (interrogates) folks that didn’t enter the capital (did nothing wrong) in an unprecedented move, that amounted to intimidation. J6 served the purpose of intimidating the most motivated base of the Biden opposition.

The lessons learned from J6:

1.) The Republicans are spineless. Many of them immediately fell to their knees and abandoned their own folks after J6 when the press went (of course) negative. Nasty: https://nypost.com/2022/05/11/lindsey-graham-praised-biden-following-jan-6-riot-audio/

2.) This should already be known, but the MSM is mostly in support of a far left liberal ideas (in the modern sense), the Democrats and hence Biden. No matter what he does or doesn’t do, they throw him soft slow balls and even pick them up as he drops them or ignore the ones that fall and just roll off the court all together (Afghanistan, rising oil/fuel prices/inflation...).

3.) The DOJ/FBI has become ENTIRELY politicized. That should be a top issue for Republicans, libertarians and frankly even those folks who are old school type Democrats which once believed in folks having civil rights, free speech, a right to petition and redress... This frankly poses more a threat to the Republic, our Constitution and democratic process than climate change, Ukraine, LGBTQIAFKKGFBW or in fact most other issues we are being bombarded with on a daily basis. You have an intel and law enforcement agency that is politically part of the fray and no longer objective and neutral.
