“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”
Heraclitus
Earlier this week, West Point condemned one of their former cadets, who now serves in the military out of Fort Drum, for social media posts promulgating his communist viewpoints. A house divided will fall, and it appears the hostile takeover of our government is in a stage so advanced that it is out in the open with minimal public outcry. The problem here is not the communist student himself; the problem is that either the passivity of his peers or military administration allowed this to happen.

People knew. Given the facts now available to the public, one absolute is infallible: either West Point cadets did not tell West Point Administration about Rapone’s communist antics, or they did, and West Point ignored the information. There is also the question whether Rapone has a security clearance and if so, how he obtained one with these public posts.
In Rapone’s pro-Communism social media posts that have gone viral, dozens of fellow soldiers in uniform are standing next to him on the Academy campus, and a cadet who was in formation with him was the only person who could have taken those pictures. Rapone’s Facebook was rife with anti-American posts and he was friends with many of his cadet peers and at least one professor, Dr. Rasheed Hossein. Rapone is also pictured in multiple settings with a blonde male cadet who appears to be the same blonde male in a photograph where Rapone is wearing a pro-communist shirt.
West Point Military Academy has strict behavioral expectations and mandates that are outlined in both the Cadet Honor Code and what is referred to as the “Character Program.” The former is a formalized statement of the minimum standard of ethics expected of a cadet, and the latter is a four-year required course that builds the cadet’s “assets of individual character that are necessary for a graduate to display the necessary fortitude expected of a person in our armed forces.” A speech from Lt. Silveria of the United States Air Force Academy went viral this weekend after racial epithets towards African-Americans were found on a wall. He can be seen here telling students to “Get out” of the Academy if they could not respect their peers. Clearly, it is and should be the policy of military academies to turn in peers who violate the honor code and for administrators to regulate behavior that is unbecoming of future military personnel.
Rapone stated online that he “joined the military because capitalism has pretty much ruined my life from the day I was born.” Capitalism encompasses many things, including the freedom of markets needed in order for a free society to exist; and capitalism is precisely the thing communism seeks to dismantle. A man cannot serve two masters, and Spenser Rapone cannot serve the United States military if he joined to destroy the very thing the military is entrusted with safeguarding.
Many of the West Point cadets who enter the military upon graduation will need to obtain security clearances. It is unclear if Rapone was one of them. These clearances are partially obtained by initiating the background check procedure with an SF-86 form, which is more than 100 pages long and would have been used by investigators to interview Rapone’s West Point contacts during the background check process. The form, background check, and subsequent polygraph that applicants must pass to obtain a clearance are highly concerned with applicants supporting foreign governments or causes to subvert the Untied States government. If Rapone did obtain a clearance, and his communist affiliations went unnoticed during this approximately yearlong clearance process, someone didn’t do their job; or scarier, they did and Rapone’s behavior was not a red flag.
I was a freshman in high school on September 11, and my peers are the 9/11 boys. What is happening today at West Point would not have been handled the same way pre-Obama. The people I grew up with are the last generation where real men were mainstream — the ones who couldn’t wait to graduate high school and go overseas to finish what their older brothers and cousins died doing in Fallujah. They are the ones who saw the Dancing Boys of Afghanistan and women with their noses chopped off by the Taliban for not covering their face properly. They didn’t spend their days in college classrooms full of cultural Marxism and their nights arguing about micro-aggressions on Facebook. My peers are the ones who saw the ugliness that comes with societies who don’t harbor our values, and came home to a country that now applauds the very things we have fought against for generations. It’s now public knowledge that communism has entered even our most sacred and revered institutions. We have to take our country back and purging the military of traitors is paramount.
According to Rapone’s own father, he used to be a boy who loved America. When that changed, it is documented that this was no secret to those around him. Rapone entered West Point in 2012; which means even the seniors he was exposed to were both selected for and attended West Point during the Obama Administration. I personally believe that there were at least some students who reported Rapone wearing the Che Guevara shirt in uniform and/or the hat inscribed, “Communism will win.” To those few and proud still at West Point, hold steady and know this: the light being created through the anti-globalist and underground-right movement will soon be so strong that there will be nowhere left for these cockroaches to hide.

Mr. XY Chromosomes himself, Bradley “just-call-me-Chelsea” Manning, is a case in point of the worst of the worst in the military and the damage these swine do. He should have been put up before a firing squad. Instead, he is a cancer in society spreading his poison.

And this is just “communist infiltration” which, perhaps, they will be ready to address and find solution. But how about JIHAD infiltration? Muslim Brotherhood infiltration? MOHAMMEDAN infiltration which, I am sure, will NOT be addressed properly at all in near (and not so near) future?

And a year after Trump came in, they are still teaching the islam-whitewashing “countering violent extremism” trope. Mentioning Islam and jihad is still verboten.

The Obama administration was famous for taking agencies and institutions and turning them into instruments of their own left wing bias and insanity. NASAs “mission” became showcasing the scientific contributions of Islam in history. The Department of Defense was directed to remove the word “terrorist’ from its training materials, and to recognize white nationalists as the primary domestic threat.
This West Point business appears to be more of that. Deep state vermin and Obama holdovers are apparently working their magic at the Point. Let’s get Bannon on this, because Donald seems to be slow at removing the swamp creatures.

Not only the military. Ever wonder what thousands of morons with Social Justice and Oppression Studies degrees are going to do for employment? They are working as PC Commissars for the federal govt. Every FBI and CIA hire in the past decade must be looked at as a likely pro-communist pro-moslem traitor mole. They were the ones that Obama and his cadres were recruiting and promoting. Now they are moving up through the structure, where they can protect and promote their commie-moslem recruits.

You’re 100% correct if not more.
Americans should have listened to Wisconsin senator Joe McCarthy sixty odd years ago instead of demonizing him based on lies told by scumbag commie “reporters” like Edgar R. Murrows and other Marxist moles that were slowly infiltrating America’s institutions.

It seems that Rapone not only found a friend in professor Hossein but, he became his handler as well. If Rapone was, according to his own father, a patriot upon entering West Point, it is clear his views changed once he got into West Point. And the fact that the school admin is trying to distance itself from Rapone, combined with taking a soft approach on his behaviors, shows that Rapone is INDEED a product of the “new” West Point. They knew and did nothing about it, because he was one of them who got ‘sloppy’ and got caught, or he had to be “exposed” as a sacrificial lamb for the greater good and to protect the communists within. The whole West Point admin must go. Yesterday!

It has been reported that Rapone and Hossein went to *India* for a vacation together. I’ll wager that:
1. They were/are gay lovers
2. They made a secret side trip to Pakistan.
And our vaunted NSA, CIA, and FBI were totally blind to this.
Jesus wept. The USA is FUBAR.

When the black female graduates of West Point had their picture taken together giving a clenched fist Black Power salute it was blindingly obvious that they had not learned the most basic West Point values of Esprit de Corps that even a six week plebe must internalize to be a member of the Point.

President Trump must have time to “dry the marsh and build the wall ” after that he should punnish ALL the bastards from previous administration, who are guilty of allowing this communist poison into American life and institutions. I am an Australian for nearly half of Century, but i remember life in my original country – Czechoslovakia. Years under communist regime brainwashed many and destroy others. West Pointer, who have marxist and communist views is enemy of U.S. and should be expelled for un-American activities !

If the commies take over the military, Wetern civilization will fall. The left has always the same pattern: they fight something until they decide to infiltrate it.
Actually most left-wing causes started as something civic. The fight against Franco in Spain, the Russian revolution, the women’s rights movement, the black civil rights movement….

GOOoooood article! Good! I am at least twice your age and I Remember another World, another Era, and this Obamanized commie Safe Space is for the birds to pick over when one day I can only hope it’s been obliterated. Throw this inglorious basterd OUT!
Oh…and “Dr. Rasheed Hossein”? Why do we need him? Why is he there? What does he say? What does he see? To whom might he report?
Oh. And, what’s this, “DEATH TO AMERICA” crap? Why is that allowed…ANYwhere?
What happens if somebody says, “Death to Iran,” or “Death to Communism”? Is that allowed in Obama’s Brave New Amerika which seems to be absolutely run as a State religion, with its own iron hand, preachers, secret inquisition, lethal punishment, and “witch”-burnings….

Please check your facts about clearances. I am a West Point officer and as a matter of course, as a cadet, I was cleared for secret. Clearing commissioned officers for secret is almost routine. A formal background investigation is only conducted for Top Secret. Secret only required a National Agency Check and a criminal NCIS check. BTW, one of my assignments in the Army was directing a division in Army Intelligence that ran the investigations. I understand that now the investigations are run by civilian contractors and that has caused large numbers of TS clearances to be issued with falsified investigations. No matter, this individual should never have had a clearance. Nor should he have been allowed to attend and graduate West Point. Along with other graduates that I know, we are devastated at what has become of our beloved institution and the US Armed Forces. The age of PC is destroying the most fundamental institutions of the country and no one seems to be concerned. I am afraid for our future.

I think you need to add to that question under the Obama Regime in particular. Under that regime, an open door policy was in effect for all Leftist associations. It’s going to happen, the Obama Administration is becoming more and more exposed and will eventually need to be investigated in the entirety. I just hope it is in my lifetime and I don’t have to wait like I have for the Kennedy Assassination.

When USMA allowed multiple majors, instead of all students taking the basic engineering curriculum, it went downhill. In the 80s “visiting professors” were instituted. All instructors had been US Army officers with MS or PhD degrees (Gen Norman Schwartzkopf taught Mechanical Engineering in the 60s).
Being a “visiting professor” at West Point is a nice sabbatical for civilian professors. Essentially a “paid vacation” at government expense, with housing on post and 50 miles from NYC for cultural excursions.

Let’s hope he doesn’t have a security clearance. Let’s pray he gets kicked out of the military and stripped of all ranks he may have achieved.i do not want him leading our soldiers into battle, that’s suicidal.

“Many of the West Point cadets who enter the military upon graduation will need to obtain security clearances. It is unclear if Rapone was one of them.”
Yes, he is. No one can be commisioned in today’s military without a security clearance. All officers must have a security clearance or they cannot hold their commision. It’s just that the security clearance investigation has been corrupted. Investigators now look for adherence to the governing ideologies of the government such as ‘upholding EEO’ rather than fidelity to the constitution. These left wing ideologies are virtually indistinguishable from communism. The fact that we are no longer in direct confrontation with communism also makes it difficult to screen for communism, especially when the ideas have already been inculcated into the minds of the young. Describe the tenets of communism to any young person and they will tell you that that is what they learned in school and they can’t wait to see it happen. In their minds, communism is no longer the ideology of the enemy; it is the new thing that will solve all our problems. Fearing it doesn’t even make sense to them. This is a far bigger problem than we know.

This has nothing to do with the above article or my comment. I can only assume that it refers to me.
Dirty? This must refer to ritual cleanliness. I am baptized and take communion as often as I may. This confers upon me True Cleanliness as opposed to wudu. Please do the same.
Kuffar? Yes I am. I am not a Mohammedan and never will be. Viva Cristo Rey!
Muslim hater? For the love of Christ, I love all people including Muslims. I do hate Islam. It’s diabolical doctrines and it’s commands to actually hate all non-Muslims cannot be ignored.
natanyahoo’s Dikk likker? You must think that reyol and Netanyahu are homosexuals. Alas, we’re both happily married. But if we were, there would only be a one in ten million chance of a hook-up, wouldn’t there?
