Embarrassment.

This is coolbert:

“The ability to express opinions, criticize, make assumptions, or form value judgments — especially regarding public officials — is a quintessential part of democratic society.”

Never heard of such a thing. Never even believed I would hear of such a thing.

"Pentagon program hunts those who ‘embarrass’ its generals – Intercept"

"A new system is capable of pinpointing the ‘exact location’ of anyone who could cause reputational damage to its charges"

From https://www.rt.com/news | 17 Jun, 2023 | the original story "The Intercept".

"A secretive division of the Pentagon is now tasked with protecting its high-ranking officials not only from assassination and other bodily harm, but also from negative portrayals on social media, according to a procurement document obtained by The Intercept and published on Saturday."

While military records officially state the US Army Protective Services Battalion protects its charges from 'assassination, kidnapping, injury or embarrassment,' this now includes monitoring social media for 'direct, indirect, and veiled' threats, as well as identifying 'negative sentiment' about individuals like Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, according to the document" 

Read the entire "Intercept" article for yourself.

Comrade Pentagon! Any questions concerning my blog or a specific entry just make a comment to an article where you might have concerns. Expect a rapid and courteous reply.
