We have been posting about STARRS, whose tagline is “Veterans standing against CRT/Woke ideology in the military and service academies,” for a while now.
For those unfamiliar with STARRS, I recommend watching this short, three-minute video explaining their mission and focus:
In May, I posted about a great event held in Guilford, Connecticut and featuring STARRS Chairman of the Board of Directors Lieutenant General Rod Bishop, USAF (Ret.), as the guest speaker: At Connecticut Event, Anti-Woke Veterans Group Decries Destruction of U.S. Military. One of the eye-opening things about the Connecticut event was the compilation of statements current or recent veterans have made to STARRS, showcasing the seriousness of the woke problems in the military:
This is literally the tip of the iceberg, which you can tell by going to the STARRS website where they have catalogued over 1,600 of such statements in a downloadable, 155-page pdf document.
You may also familiar with Matt Lohmeier. In December 2022, in fact, Legal Insurrection held a live seminar with Lohmeier, a former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel squadron commander who was fired, forced to resign, and subjected to an Inspector General investigation within the Pentagon after publishing his bestselling book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military, which tore the lid off the military’s obsession with racist and radical “woke” ideologies.
The seminar we held, definitely worth watching, and entitled Saving the Military Service Academies from Wokeness, can be viewed here:
I went to another STARRS event in Arizona last June, and Matt was one of the guest speakers, and he was dynamite: Matthew Lohmeier – a Tour de Force Supporting our Military Members:
Last but not least was the evening’s guest speaker, Matthew Lohmeier.Matthew began by talking about the drag shows at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we reported on here, in 2021, U.S. Air Force Base Asserts Drag Queen Promotes “Readiness of the Military,” and here, in 2022: Air Force Base Hosted Drag Show During its ‘Diversity’ Festival.As Matthew explained, earlier this year, an Air Force servicemember stationed at Nellis called and informed him that yet another drag show was planned for Nellis in early June 2023 to kick off this year’s “Pride Month” celebration. Lohmeier sprang into action, calling members of Congress and informing them that the drag shows were imminent. This led to the drag show, and others like it, being cancelled.We had reported on those cancellations here: DOD Cancels On-Base Drag Shows – Leftist Outrage Noticeably Missing.Matthew Lohmeier during his presentation:
Most importantly, Matthew Lohmeier explained to the crowd that there is a full-length motion picture in the works to be released in 2024. He showed a four-minute trailer of the movie, which tells the story of Matthew’s summary dismissal from Space Force after his tell-all book was published, and it was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, because the trailer is likely to go through some editing and updating as the movie production continues, it likely won’t be finalized for viewing audiences until later this year.Matthew also covered many of the disheartening trends we are seeing in the military these days regarding CRT, DEI, and transgender issues. The types of issues Matt discussed are unfortunately becoming common knowledge among Legal Insurrection readers….
I am happy to report that Matt, a member of the STARRS Board of Advisors, is the new STARRS Executive Vice-President as of July 1, 2024: The Culture War Campaign:
STARRS has a new announcement and has begun an important new campaign effort in our goal to eliminate the CRT/DEI/Woke agenda in the Pentagon because the stakes for our country have never been higher!* * *—STARRS is thrilled to announce that Lt Colonel Matt Lohmeier (formerly with USSF/USAF, USAFA 2006 grad, author of the best-seller Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military) has accepted the position of Executive Vice President as of 1 July 2024. His leadership and talent as a cultural thought leader are critical to our cause.—STARRS is also excited to be collaborating with production company Root/Cause to promote a documentary (currently titled “Against All Enemies”; see Documentary Intro Video below) this fall that chronicles both Matt’s personal journey and the fight he and STARRS are currently engaged in to counter the forces of the totalitarian/Marxist ideology attacking and undermining our most trusted and important public institution—our military.
Be sure to go here and check out the introductory video for Against All Enemies. It is dynamite.
STARRS is hoping to raise $300,000 to kickstart their new efforts with Matt leading the charge, and you can donate here (I did), if you are so inclined.
Good luck to Matt in his new endeavor and STARRS as they perform the herculean task of reforming our military. I can’t wait until Against All Enemies is released.
Until then, you can watch a short video of Matt Lohmeier over at Fox News explaining briefly what happened to him and why he fights for our military.
