Drunk and Disorderly [View all]
Learned something new about Kegseth. "Pound them down Pete" has a tattoo I didn't know about.
There is the Jerusalem cross tattoo on his chest. Everyone has seen that one and hopefully heard it's connection to militant religious extremism.
There is a much more troubling tattoo that he should really be asked about more.
On his inner bicep there is tattoo that reads "Deus Vult" which is Latin for "God wills it". This specific tattoo is frequently associated with white nationalist movements.
In fact, while he was a member of the DC national guard, it was the specific "Deus Vult" tattoo that got him removed from the detail in support of the Biden inauguration as an insider threat risk.
Those two tattoos, together, they are a clear sign of a Christian nationalist. In fact many consider him, based on the tattoos and his own writings and people he associates with, to be tied to the Christian Reconstructionist movement, an extreme and very militant, Christian nationalist movement.
So, to be clear, the guy that was bumped from an inauguration detail as a significant insider threat risk, is now in charge of the military itself.
These senior civilian Pentagon officials and military flag officers retiring or being fired, is not random but a reshaping of our military leadership by a Christian nationalist deemed to be a serious insider threat risk.
