The List,, or how to lose your TAB

The List: any use, written, spoken, or posted ANYWHERE

Army special ops school labels ‘III,’ Oathkeeper, QAnon logos as ‘extremist’ symbols; punishable if worn

The John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School advised its students and personnel last week from using 14 different logos, including the Roman numeral “III” symbol, which they link to extremist groups and ideologies. The school banned personnel from wearing the symbols on duty and have told students using the symbols outside of duty hours could also result in punishment.

Janice Burton, a spokesperson for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS) provided a list of the 14 “extremist” symbols to American Military News on Wednesday. The list of symbols comes from a database of symbols the New York Police Department’s Intelligence Bureau has labeled “extremist imagery.”

The symbols include:
  • QAnon symbols
  • The III symbol
  • Proud Boys symbols
  • Oath Keepers symbols
  • Symbols of National Social Club 131
  • The “Kek” flag
  • Boogaloo symbols
  • The Swastika
  • A Swastike and dagger symbol
  • 14
  • 88
  • The Nordic “Sunwheel”
  • “SS” lightning bolts
  • The Wheel Cross, also known as an Odin’s Cross or Celtic Cross
  • “WP” symbols, including as a hand sign
  • The Archangel Michael Cross
  • The Othala Rune
  • The Norse Algis Rune
  • The “Totenkopf” or “Death’s Head” skull and crossbones
  • The Universal Order, skastika and scales symbol
  • The nuclear symbol
  • Triple parenthesis ((( )))
  • Pepe the frog

Col. Matt Gomlack, chief of staff at the training center, advised all personnel that if they wear or post any of the symbols going forward they could face “military punishment.”

Looks like the VA is going to have their work cut out for them trying to fix all of the Available Emblems of Belief for Placement on Government Headstones and Markers that are used by the National Cemetery Administration.

Man, I almost freaked out and lost it there for a moment. I thought for sure 3, 9 and 13 would be on the list as well as the circled scarlet letter “A”, BLM and Rainbow 6 colored flags.

Also for now at least the ISIS flag can still be hung on a barracks wall right next to “Betsy Ross” 13-Colonial States flag. For now, at least, since because they already outlawed the Confederate Battle Flag last year they left it off this list of White Supremacist symbols. Next they will be coming for your Chevy SS, Kiss and ZZ-Top albums.

The “Mad Hatter” is going to have a busy busy year.

Aloha Shirts??


I was on 014... does the preceding zero make things safe or is that a dog whistle for the easily offended?

Unintended consequences

IMOO, the Biden administration is making a huge miscalculation with this type of stuff...they will likely just create the equivalent of millions of “4%ers.”

Just like the bureaucracy to eff things all up and half azz their PP presentation.

They missed:
1-11: 1-11 is a numeric symbol used by the Aryan Knights, an Idaho-based prison gang, to identify themselves. Substituting letters for numbers, 1 and 11 mean A and K, i.e., Aryan Knights.

100%: 100% is shorthand for "100% white" among white supremacists. It is also common to create alphanumeric variations to proclaim solidarity with a particular white supremacist group or gang, such as "112%" for "100% Aryan Brotherhood."

109/110: The figure 109 is white supremacist numeric shorthand for the number of countries anti-Semites claim Jews have been expelled from. In calling for the expulsion of Jews from the U.S., they often refer to the U.S. as the 110th.

12: The number 12 is a numeric symbol for Aryan Brotherhood groups (as are the numbers 1 and 2 separately), especially the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. Substituting letters for numbers, 12 equals AB, i.e., Aryan Brotherhood.

13: The number 13 is a numeric symbol for the Aryan Circle, the large Texas-based racist prison gang. Substituting letters for numbers, 1 and 3 equals A and C, i.e., AC or Aryan Circle.

13/52 and/or 13/90 : 13/52 and 13/90 are racist numeric codes used by white supremacists to portray African-Americans as savage and criminal. White supremacists claim that Blacks make up only 13% of the U.S. population but commit 52% of all murders and 90% of all violent interracial crime.

14: 14 is numerical shorthand for the white supremacist slogan known as the "14 Words": "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." <———- this stood out to the army for some reason compared to the rest! lmfao

14/23: The number combination 14/23 is a numeric symbol associated with the Southern Brotherhood, the largest white supremacist prison gang in Alabama. The 14 is a reference to the white supremacist "14 Words" slogan ("We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"), while the 23 refers to the "23 precepts," a list of rules that Southern Brotherhood members must follow.

14/88 or 1488: 1488 is the combination of two common white supremacist numeric symbols: 1) 14 (shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children") and 2) 88 (standing for "Heil Hitler").

18: 18 is a white supremacist alphanumeric code for Adolf Hitler (1=A and 8=H). It is most commonly associated with the British white supremacist group Combat 18 or C18.

28: 28 is the white supremacist alphanumeric code for Blood & Honour, an international racist skinhead group.

318: The number 318 is a white supremacist numeric symbol. The 3 in the symbol is a numeric substitution for the letter C. C18 stands for Combat 18, a British white supremacist group that occasionally develops chapters in the United States. The 18 in its name stands for Adolf Hitler.

38: The number 38 is used as a numeric symbol by members of the Hammerskins, a racist skinhead group. Substituting letters for numbers, 38 stands for CH or "Crossed Hammers," a reference to the crossed hammers of the group's logo.

42: (So glad they skipped 42....that would have killed the sci-fi world!)

43: The number 43 is a numeric symbol used by members of the racist skinhead group Supreme White Alliance (SWA). If one substitutes numbers for the letters in SWA's initials (19, 23, 1), then adds those numbers together, the total is 43.

511: The number 511 is a numeric symbol for the Oregon-based racist prison gang European Kindred. Substituting letters for numbers, the 5 and 11 equate to E and K, i.e., European Kindred.

737: The number 737 is a numeric symbol used by Public Enemy Number 1 (PENI), a California-based white supremacist gang present on California's streets and in its prisons. The numbers 737 correspond to the letters P, D, and S on a telephone keypad; the initials PDS stand for Peni Death Squad, another name for the group. <——-if you worked for Boeing or an airline before the army....check yourself!

83: 83 is a white supremacist numeric symbol standing for "Heil Christ" or "Hail Christ," typically used by adherents of the racist and anti-Semitic religious sect Christian Identity.

88: The number 88 is a symbolically important number for white supremacists (who use it as a numeric code for "Heil Hitler"), so occasionally a white supremacist will use a hand sign to display or flash the number 88.

9%: 9% is a numeric white supremacist symbol that refers to the percentage of the world's population that is purportedly white.


That’s just the numbers!!!

Oh dear sweet baby Jesus...I could just about now see them banning 511 because numbers matter.

Great list... miclo18d, and it goes on and on...will 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four) be banned...the title to a dystopian social science fiction novel...

What if some folks merely sum up (add) various numbers ? Subtract, Divide? Multiply ?

Will only western Arabic numerals count ?

Will Roman numerals count?

Egyptian ?

Babylonian ?

Khmer ?

Thai ?

Vietnamese ?

Mayan?

If government is going to overreach it may as well think big.

Weird how they loooooove their weird numberology

I remember watching a documentary on aryan brotherhood inmates c.2000 that used the enigma code to write secret messages....I guess they aren’t huge on history education and didn’t realize that the code was broken in WWII.

I would chalk that up to Dunning/Krueger.

Caveat: they used the enigma code because Germany used it in WWII. Any and all things tied to hitler...

The aryan brotherhood in that documentary may be a little disappointed in using numerology if they dig a bit into who is generally credited with inventing numerical systems.

After dealing with enough of them, believe me...they aren't that bright to even care about any of that.
