  4. Kiintoisa artikkeli taistelukentän informaatiopaljouden ja läpinäkyvyyden odottamattomista haittavaikutuksista hieman omituisen kognitiivisen veljensurman otsikolla, mwi.westpoint.edu/cognitive-fr

    Tavallaan on lohdullista, että informaatioähky ja ramppikuume voi yllättää sotiessakin, mutta ehkä tuosta voisi oppia jotain yleisempää ihmisen ja koneiden pakko-naittamisesta tehokkuuden nimissä?

    NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is banning opinions by professors in the classroom and some books and courses in a crackdown that violates the First Amendment, a law professor at the military school said in a lawsuit Monday seeking class action status.

    Tim Bakken filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court and named the school and its leaders as defendants. He said he wants to protect free speech and the right to academic freedom at an institution where he has flourished despite his public criticisms of the academy and the U.S. military.

    Bakken also noted in the lawsuit that he has a contract with a publisher for a book that is critical of some aspects of West Point and doesn’t want to seek approval from the school’s leadership prior to its publication because “it is very likely such approval will be withheld.”

    The lawsuit seeks class action status for West Point’s civilian faculty members, believed to be more than 100 individuals, and a court order to stop restrictions on free speech, along with unspecified damages and legal fees.

    Bakken’s lawsuit said the school began to scrutinize faculty speech after a January executive order from President Donald Trump to “carefully review the leadership, curriculum and instructors of the United States Service Academies and other defense academic institutions.”

  7. Trump praises cancellation of Tom Hanks ceremony by West Point alumni group – The Washington Post

    Here’s my editorial comment on this:

    Trump praises cancellation of Tom Hanks ceremony by West Point alumni group

    Trump said it was an “important move” to nix the ceremony for the actor, who has supported Democrats. Trump called Hanks “woke” on social media.

    President Donald Trump praised the alumni association at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Monday for “smartly” canceling an awards ceremony for Tom Hanks, an actor and advocate for veterans.

    “Important move!” Trump wrote on social media. “We don’t need destructive, WOKE recipients getting our cherished American Awards!!!”

    ——————————————–STOP————————————————–

    Editor’s Interruption: That’s all we need from this post, article, and Trump. Yes, Tom Hanks is “woke,” thank Heaven, and is opposed to every single thing you try to do to America –you are NOT his president, you are NOT my President.

    Speaking of honoring the wrong side of history: A painting of Robert E. Lee and a slave was returned to display at #WestPoint, by #executiveOrder from #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump.

  9. Defense chief Pete Hegseth is reinstating a large painting of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee—shown in uniform and with a slave—at West Point, reversing recent efforts to remove Confederate imagery from military institutions. Originally installed in 1952 during the Jim Crow era to rehabilitate Lee’s image, the painting’s return comes after Congress had ordered removal of such symbols in 2020. The move is sparking debate over history, race, and which legacies should be honored at America’s storied military academy. Read more: thedailybeast.com/defense-secr

  10. Yet as president, #Trump has used the #military to serve his political goals [feed his ego]. He surrounded himself with “my generals” & purged those he deemed insufficiently #loyal [to him, not the country]. He entertained a recommendation to impose a form of #MartialLaw to overturn the 2020 election that he lost. In recent days, he has given speeches at the US Military Academy at #WestPoint & #FortBragg, NC, that sounded like campaign rallies.

  11. "Normalizing the abnormal is sadly normal for so much of the mainstream press. The NYT has done some terrific reporting and had some great opeds on Trump. But this framing, all too typical, is deeply dangerous. Imagine if Biden had given this kind of speech how they would’ve…."

  12. Ho quotes Charles Pierce, who calls New York times "a normalizing machine" for Trump.

    And Mark Jacob:

    "It’s remarkable how often a New York Times story will state the facts clearly and the story’s headline will twist itself in knots to avoid telling that same truth in a clear manner. I’m convinced that it’s an intentional tactic to avoid accusations of being slanted."

  13. Jennifer Ho comments on a posting David Ho has made on Bluesky about how New York Times chose to treat Trump's crazed raving in his commencement address at West Point — a screenshot of Ho's commentary is below.

    Ho states:

    “People use the term 'sanewashing' and I think they're right. There's nothing normal about our time, and our President, and I think newspapers should report them accordingly.”

    They're officers right?

    They have sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution.

    Already they should be considering whether disobeying anti-coup laws is more effective at this than letting this Presidency play out and having Trump rip the Constitution to pieces.
