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.”

The land of the free, and the home of the brave.

The First Amendment (like the Second) no longer means what you thought it did.

Sure hope my St. Christoper doesn’t someday piss off TPTB.

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?
