Jihadi Generations: Strategies Used for Weaponizing Children (Part 1)
2018-04-25
[SmallWarsJournal] Violent extremist groups are using all methods possible to wage a successful long-term campaign using children. These groups infiltrate existing systems, threaten and radicalize important players, use extreme forms of violence to attack those they perceive as non-compliant. No foundation of society is off limits be it: hospitals, schools, religious organizations, legal institutions, law enforcement, orphanages, charities, sports, businesses, transportation, recreation or communication sites. Every means is justified for their stated aim of a worldwide Islamic caliphate under Sharia law. The scope of this phenomenon has increased in the past decade, however the methods implemented were developed and refined during and after World War II. No child is left behind if they can be exploited.

#2  Home Front: I dated a First Grade teacher from 1998 thru 2000 (who worked at a really miserable school), and she had a "unit" that taught the kids to dislike the country due to the horrible conditions in which the Indians were placed in the past.
Unfortunately, native children in the USA are still being brought up like this, and this advocacy of cultural Marxism continues to get worse. Children who never got to know their own native grandparents wind up believing things about their grandparent's experiences which are just not true.
Ca. 2011 I was in the audience hearing a lecture about native Americans who fought for the Union in the Civil War. Some one in the audience asked the question, "If the Indians were treated so badly, why did they fight for the US government?" The lecturer & I were friends. He referred the question to me. I stood up & answered: "Real warriors fight for a future, they are not concerned about the past."
Modern "children" have no idea about this, including ones who are much older and should know better.

I bring it up because I was wittingly part of the problem - after calling her in 1999 while in Cherokee, NC, I bought 2 items, and was reimbursed by the school district promptly.

(1) a hardboard book that contained maybe ten pages of pictures and light text; no people, but an overall incongruous picture of how Indian children lived in earlier periods. Pictures inside the tepee showed a Western style bedroom in the tepee, with a small dresser and moccasins neatly arranged next to the bed.

(2) a cassette tape of an older Indian wailing about the Trail of Tears.
