If you blinked, you might have missed it. The Obama administration has unofficially rebranded "war on terror" phrase that dominated public discourse throughout the Bush administration. The replacement phrase, carefully chosen, is "CVE" -- Countering Violent Extremism.
Early in the administration, the Office of Management and Budget changed the wording of the line item under which the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were funded. They called it "Overseas Contingency Operations." That phrase was never intended to be for public consumption (and public ridicule), but burrowed bureaucrats leaked it to the press, a field day was had.
Countering Violent Extremism is noticeable for two words that aren't there: some variant of "jihad," which is the preferred predicate for counter-terrorism-fighting conservatives, and "war," which is because the administration has put de-radicalization alongside the Predator drones as a primary instrument of combat. No mention of Islam, of course. That's because the administration wants to try and decouple the notion of combating terrorism from the Muslim faith itself. BTW: when I first heard the phrase, I assumed it stood for "combating violent extremism." But no -- the word combat denotes military action only -- Obama's approach combines hard and soft power.
The phrase first appears to have been used in public by the director of national intelligence, Adm. Dennis Blair (Ret.), and its utterance was picked up by Newsweek.

Guess who that is aimed at? Perhaps, We The People???
God bless our brave troops who are fighting and dying for our freedom and our way of life. They need our prayers now more than ever because they are under the command of this totally incompetent, stupid, and weak Obama regime.
Interesting. I admit, however, I thought it was just a marketing gimmick.
Claims police shooting suspects had extremist 'anti-government' links
The Obama administration has unofficially rebranded "war on terror" phrase that dominated public discourse throughout the Bush administration. The replacement phrase, carefully chosen, is "CVE" -- Countering Violent Extremism.
Extremist is their code word for anyone who is not a liberal, government worshiping, Obama disciple. They will paint with a broad brush any wack job, and tie them to Conservatives.
LISTEN UP TAXPAYERS Obama/Rahm/Axelrod/Jarrett, and the rest of the "progressive" nutjobs are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law. Remember, Obama gave ACORN billions to form Civilian Security reeducation camps.
Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome WH staff are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.
If these arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear, and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.
Keep in mind, Americans look at savage Mexican drug cartels, the undie bomber and Shazad with fear and trepidation, and demand justice. Ohaha/Incompetano, Holder, Emanuel, Axelrod, Soros and that bunch, look at them with kindness and understanding, b/c they are out to "get" those evil Americans.
OHAHA/DHS PROFILES AMERICANS--HATRED OF AMERICANS SPEWS FORTH No more proof is needed than Obama/Incompetano's profiling Americans as “rightwing extremists.”
On April 7, 2009, their hatred of Americans spewed full force as DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis sent out a nationwide alert to US L/E to act against "evil" conservatives. DHS identified “rightwing extremists” as a "danger" and defined “rightwing extremists” in a footnote, as follows.
OBAMA/INCOMPETANO ORDER L/E TO SUPPRESS AND DESTROY AMERICANS. EXCERPT DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis to L/E: "Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
DHS later said that the report was not an attempt to squash First Amendment Rights for conservatives----only "hate groups"---- but, there was NO attempt to exempt anyone from these broad generalizations. Obama/Incompetano's report paints EVERY ASPECT OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM as "suspect."
This is indicative of a very disturbing government mindset. Obama/Incompetano's documented hatred of Americans, and their orders to L/E to surveil and supress Americans......contrasts sharply with their kid glove handling of drug lord savages and terrorists bent on violence and destruction.
Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome WH staff are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.
Spot on, Liz.
LISTEN UP TAXPAYERS Obama/Rahm/Axelrod/Jarrett, and the rest of the "progressive" nutjobs are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law.
You're spot on -- again :-)
That cabal is trying to 'push our buttons' at every chance they get. Hoping that 'this one' will be the one that will do the trick for them.
However it ain't working. As we 'evil and dangerous conservatives' are on to them and their little games. And without really knowing it are following one of the major tenets of the best Military Generals that ever lived, Sun Tzu:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles."
And as to Barry and his cronies 'button pushing' game, here's another gem from Sun Tzu that covers that:
He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.He wrote those 2,500 years ago in his 'book', The Art of War. And every battle that has been won or lost since then is covered in the 13 little chapters he wrote on Bamboo Sticks. And since Politics has become 'war' its appropriate for today.
So Ohaha and his commieRATS can have Saul Alinsky and his 'Rules For Radicals'. I'll take Sun Tzu.
IMHO the Art of War should be mandatory reading. It's at every Public Library and the Deluxe, Classic Edition is only $20.00 from B&N (I always keep my copy handy). And the 'regular edition' is only about $12.00 on Amazon
Sounds like he's setting up the "definition" to make it possible to go after conservatives and political opponents...
