President Biden revoked several Trump-era executive orders Friday, among them being an order to protect historical federal statutes, like those vandalized during the summer protests. 

Trump executed order 13934, “Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes,” during a time when federal monuments of civil war veterans and slave-owning historical monuments faced vandalism from Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA activists. 

Biden also revoked executive order 13925 “Preventing Online Censorship,” 13978 “Building the National Garden of American Heroes,” 13964 “Rebranding United States Foreign Assistance to Advance American Influence” and 13980 “Protecting Americans From Overcriminalization Through Regulatory Reform.”

A newsletter distributed by the Biden Administration’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence, suggested that because “words matter,” national security employees must stop using offensive “terminology related to counterterrorism.” Diversity officials distributed the internal magazine to the nation’s intelligence agencies instructing personnel not to use “problematic phrases.”

Foreign Desk News reports “The Dive” newsletter document was first revealed by The Daily Wire, in which the author, whose name was redacted, wrote that to accomplish these new objectives, the federal government must remove “Islam from words and phrases used to discuss terrorism and extremist violence,” because they are allegedly “hurtful to Muslim-Americans.”

The periodical is published by the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Office of the United States intelligence services. Its materials are distributed to the workforces of the CIA, NSA, FBI, DHS, DOJ, and U.S. military, according to Foreign Desk News. Some descriptions that were singled out for censure are ‘jihadist,’ ‘Salafi jihadist,’ ‘Islamic extremist,’ and ‘radical Islamist’ the newsletter wrote.

Foreign Desk News notes that the new regulations only protect the sentiments of the organization’s Muslim associates, as President Biden has in the past used the term ‘Jewish extremist’ to refer to certain Israeli citizens, and ‘Christian extremists’ to describe many of former President Donald Trump’s supporters.

Among other subjects included in the issue were reported to be the thoughts of a male covert operative who enjoys dressing as a woman because he feels that being transgender helps him do his job better.

House Intelligence Committee member, Republican Mike Waltz, described the new policy as “totally insane,” and stated that it “is a return to the same Obama Administration head-in-the-sand approach to Islamic extremism that led to Obama calling ISIS the JV team.”
