Liberté de la #presse aux #etatsunis : le Pentagone impose de nouvelles restrictions aux #medias
Le ministère de la Défense demande désormais aux journalistes accrédités de faire valider par lui toute publication le concernant, classifiée ou pas. S'ils refusent, les médias risquent de perdre leur accès au #pentagone un changement qualifié d'"attaque contre le journalisme indépendant" par une importante association de #journalistes https://information.tv5monde.com/international/liberte-de-la-presse-aux-etats-unis-le-pentagone-impose-de-nouvelles-restrictions-aux-medias-2791685
Nothing to see here- just another rule to make the #military more white and 'christian' (although Norse paganism is cool, too...definitely NOT because of all the white supremacy, though).
"SecDef pete #hegseth has ordered that troops who need an exemption from shaving their facial hair for longer than a year should get kicked out of the service.
About 60% of Black men are affected by the condition."
And now we will return to our charlie kirk whitewashing extravaganza.

nothing to see here, just the head of the world's largest military force reciting the nicean creed over videos of war machines killing people, all set to rousing musical accompaniment and "dedicated to charlie kirk"
Defense Secretary Hegseth requires new 'pledge' for reporters at the Pentagon
Aahh, this is what #Putin did as well.
Next: "Special Military Operation" in Venezuela ...
Isn't his title "war secretary" now officially?

@europesays He’s murdering people just like Rodrigo #Duterte did in the Philippines. No due process. And I don’t believe they are terrorists. I think he and #Hegseth just gets off on killing people. #uspol

What difference will it make? Hegseth sends reporters confidential info in group Signal chats doesn’t he?
Press could lose Pentagon access for releasing 'unauthorised information' https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwywwjevprwo
Lieber @spiegel
Ich erlaube mir eine kleine, ganz unwesentliche, Korrektur Eures Textes!
#Hegseth ist nicht mehr #Verteidigungsminister, sondern #Kriegsminister. Ein kleiner, aber feiner, Unterschied, der dieses Geschehen unter einem neuen Gesichtspunkt betrachten lässt.

tRump's war on the #media continues…
Maya Yang: #Pentagon demands journalists sign pledge not to gather certain information

If they don’t agree to limits, including restricting movement within building, Pentagon press passes will be revoked

" #Hegseth unveils new restrictions on Pentagon press access...The document sent to press outlets also notes: 'DoW [Department of War] information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified.'"

“A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” she said.
The #NationalPressClub condemned the decision in a statement."
So
#Trump and #Hegseth don't want #Reporters in the #Pentagon
Trump and Hegseth want #Stenographers
More murders in the Caribbean.
We have a President and a #DefSec (#Hegseth) with a murder lust rivaling that of Jack The Ripper.

Military personnel have long been banned from engaging in politics.
Talking about Charlie Kirk is not engaging in politics.
Kirk was not a member of government, the military or law enforcement.
I will not celebrate his death or any political violence but flags at half staff and punishing Kirk's critics in military and government is ludicrous and a violation of the First Amendment.

Nancy Wake: the journalist from New Zealand who was the Gestapo's most wanted SOE spy & member of the French Resistance.
I'd like to see #Hegseth pitted against her any day.
Unfortunately, we'll never have the pleasure of seeing her whip his ass w/1 hand tied behind her back.
Serious damage is being done to the US #intelligence community. Experienced officers and analysts are fleeing (or being purged from) the #CIA, #DNI, and #DIA. No one trusts #Gabbard or #Hegseth. Russian intelligence is being effectively abandoned.
Hegseth is an empty suit - he just shows up for photo ops. #EldridgeColby is actually running the #DoD.
Trump and his lackeys are exposing us to increasing danger. Is #Trump a Russian asset?
~ “After Kirk’s death, right-wing influencers w/ sway in the #Trump admin (asked) their followers to… blast any posts from service members or Department of War employees criticizing Kirk or celebrating his death.”
Right-wing social media “influencers” calling for the firing of “Department of War” (Defense) employees if they even so much as criticize #Kirk
#USA #USpol

Marine fired over anti-Charlie Kirk post, #Hegseth says Pentagon 'tracking' military posts ~
USpol, fascism, free speech
Och och, wat voelt ie zich toch belangrijk, als ie als wethouder Hekking handenschuddend mag rondlopen op de NAVO-top en nu weer de grote meneer denkt uit te kunnen hangen met die nitwit #Hegseth.
