Ksey Morning Show. Now retired, Matthew Lohmeyer, author of came out in
twenty twenty one, but still so very important Irresistible Revolution, Marxism, goal
of conquest, and the unmaking of the American military. Matthew, it is
a pleasure to have you on the program. And what a scary title that
is, it is a scary title, very deliberately written, and I'm happy
to join you. Bright. Well, we've got a lot of military families
in the listening audience. I do everything I can in my power on the
radio to help out veterans and veterans causes, and so you're going to sell
a lot of these books, and rightfully so. DEI in the military.
I've been reading about it for years. I've had my I've got military folks
currently serving and have recently served or retired talking about what a problem is all
the resources thrown at DEI issues, and mostly the E is the problem.
They're promoting people from outside the normal channels of the ranks, and people who
are qualified getting pushed back to the side, and having folks promoted above those
that are qualified merely because they fill the blank in on certain DEI related issues.
I mean, that's just not right. That's got to be terrible from
morale. And what's that got to do, if I me be so bold,
Matthew Lomyer, what has that got to do with killing people and breaking
things, which is the primary goal of the military. Well, you're absolutely
right that that E and DEI is a tremendous problem. But the diversity part
is also a problem because what they pretend to aspire to is some kind of
authentic diversity. What they really mean by that is race based quotas, and
it destroys the merit based system that we need in a lethal and ready fighting
force. In the United States military, we've always had and prized a merit
based selection and promotion process, and instead the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda
effectively destroys that merit And so you're absolutely right. It is debilitating of the
morale, the good order and discipline of our troops, and it's undermining our
readiness and lethalities. Of course, well is looking at your subtitle Marxism goal
of conquest in the unmaking American military. That's the goal, isn't it to
ruin morale and reduce the numbers of people willing to volunteer for an all volunteer
military. Yeah, your listeners are going to be well aware of the fact
that for decades now the universities have been plagued with Marxist ideology Marxist thought.
The overarching aim of my book that I had written really at the time immediately
following the transition from President Trump to the current administration. The aim of the
book is to clearly show that all of the diversity and inclusion trainings, the
vocabulary, and the agenda first and foremost is rooted in Marxist revolutionary thought,
and that it's finally made its way out of the universities and elsewhere into the
uniform services. That it's dividing our troops, it's hitting people against one another
and therefore crushing morale and readiness, and it's also having a terrible impact on
a recruiting and retention efforts, which is why we're having abysmal recruiting rates and
not meeting our goals. And ultimately it's a warning to the American people and
to our service members and to senior defense officials that unless we abandon this divisive
path that is part of the deliberately a part of the diversity and inclusion agenda,
it will unfortunately lead to violence because of the visceral emotional response that people
have for one another when they genuinely start to believe in these ideas that they're
not those ideas which include that the like, for example, the police are
inherently racist. That's a BLM philosophy, and of course the BLM folks were
admittedly Marxist. That's one of the tenets of the legs of Marxist philosophy is
to undermine our belief in and our respect for the military and the police.
Those are institutions which are directly connected with the evil need to be overthrown capitalist
system. They are a the muscle for the capitalists, and what we need
to do is undermine there. Therefore, the capitalist system will fall as the
military and the police system falls. I mean, that's a goal they have.
It is a goal. In fact, I recently went to Minneapolis as
a part of a film that I'm shooting that's going to come out this fall,
just prior to the election. I can't yet say the name, but
everyone should end up hearing about it. And what I saw in Minneapolis that
was the result of one terrible leadership for a number of years. But this
kind of activism that is fraught with the diversity and inclusion agenda and initiatives and
language vocabulary, is that it completely wrecks a city. And I've seen what
happened right there on George Floyd Square where there's a memorial there, and in
the city surrounding that area. And I'm telling you that the same thing is
happening to the military, and a smaller scale to be sure, But it's
not just a criticism of the police force. And it is exactly that,
just like you've mentioned. But I heard at my base, and other troops
are hearing at their bases a criticism of America's founders as white supremacists and racists,
and a criticism of America's founding values and principles that actually made us the
priest and greatest country in history. That is so heart wrenching to here.
Let me ask you this. I mean, we're, as you pointed out,
we're all painfully aware that college education is now replete and filled with DEI
and woke Marxist philosophy. It's been that way for a long time. We
know it's seeped its way in K through twelve education with the same kind of
principles being taught to our young people, and that worked itself into the Department
of Education. That is a concerted effort. You can do that when you
have this unified, uh just basically one size fits all education system. Here's
the curriculum. Teach every kid that how in God's name, did this curriculum,
this philosophy make it into America's military right, Well, at first it
began with activism after the death of George Floyd. We had service members high
and low that were activists, just like you saw in the news where cities
are burning and police cars are being smashed and windows being smashed. That same
activism and a small scale began to spread its way through the military because the
seats had been planted and THEY'REUS trainings over the number of course of a number
of years. But President Trump in September of twenty twenty attempted to end forever
the diversity and inclusion trainings that we were seeing in the United States military by
executive order, and he did just that, and there was a several month
reprieve from this kind of training. But Joe Biden in this administration, on
January twentieth of twenty twenty one, reverse President Trump's executive order by executive FIAT
and brought back these diversity and inclusion trainings and agenda with a bang. And
of course, he selected a Secretary of Defense in Lloyd Austin that is very
much in support of this agenda. He has a very different world view the
most Americans, and he believes in the oppressor versus oppressed narrative of human events
that was taught by Marsten Angeles one hundred and fifty plus years ago in the
Communist Manifesto. And these guys, through policy, expect these trainings and trainings
to fill the military workplace. We've even had superintendents that are military service academy,
such as the Air Force Academy, my own alma mater, say that
they're going to fill the university there, the Military Service Academy with diversity,
equity inclusion, NIOK and cranny of that service academy. We need to eliminate
poor leadership in the next administration. We need to make sure that we completely
abolish all of these DEI policies, and we need to get our military back
on track, which is my foremost concern, although it's infecting every other federal
agency as well as we've recently seen and are seeing in the headlines today as
of yesterday and the day before well, and obviously that is a problem that's
not going to go anyway soon given the size, scope and inability to fire
anybody in the administrative state. But and you made a great point in bringing
up Donald Trump in his efforts to get rid of this, which you've said,
we're successful at least for a short period of time. As commander in
chief, he essentially is the Department of Education when it comes to the curriculum
in the military. Right, can he eliminate this if Donald Trump is elected
president again and turn the ship around. Yeah, that's an important, or
i should say critical part of fixing the problem. It's getting the right commander
in chief in and ensuring that we've got both corrective policy in place, and
also selecting the right leaders the right oversight committees to make sure that and I'm
not talking about Congress, I'm talking about they're actually both congressionally mandated as well
as executive a point of positions that provide oversight of our military service academies to
ensure these kinds of things go away and go away fast. But of course,
cultural change doesn't necessarily happen rapidly. It's going to take time and concerted
effort and courage from those that still wear the uniform of their country to speak
up respectfully and say, hey, we disagree with what's being taught. It's
against our values, it's discriminating and makes it uncomfortable. It's not inclusive.
There's no real diversity here. My viewpoint is denigrated. I don't see the
authenticity and this approach, and I think if more and more people speak up
about that, we're far more likely to see the cultural change that we need.
But it starts, indeed, with the right commander in chief setting the
right policy. And unfortunately, because we're so divided, that is what it
comes down to at the moment. But it would have been unthinkable two decades
ago and three decades ago for any commander in chief to make policies that are
deliberately apparently dividing our troops in uniform underscore what you just said, deliberately that's
the most frightening component of everything that we have talked about and everything that you
talk about in your book, Irresistible Revolution, Marxism, goal of Conquest,
and the unmaking of the American military Gosha Retired Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lomyer. I
really wish your book was sort of like a warning about what could have happened
or could happen, as opposed to the reality of what is currently happening.
But you sound like you at least have some measure of optimism. With a
different commander in chief and different policies, we can turn this ship around and
head back in the right direction. God bless you, sir for the time
you spell my listeners and meet this morning. The book itself, Irresistible Revolution,
which my listeners can get at my blog page fifty five KRC dot com.
I will strongly encourage them to do that and share it with every single
one of their friends. Thank you very much, been my pleasure. Thanks
again for your time and your service to our country, so you're continued service
