Sandia Labs Goes Nuclear On Employee Who Sparked Internal Revolt Over Critical Race Theory

Sandia Labs – America’s premiere government-funded nuclear weapons design lab, has taken aggressive action against an employee, Casey Peterson, who produced a viral video “pushing back on the narrative of modern systemic racism and white privilege.”

Here’s the long and short of it via Christopher Rufo – director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty, who has directed four documentaries for PBS, Netflix and international television – and has declared ‘war’ on critical race theory.

“ There is a civil war erupting at @SandiaLabs.

Following my investigation, a dissident electrical engineer named Casey Peterson emailed all 16,000 employees denouncing critical race theory in the lab and hoping to spark a rebellion against Sandia executives.

Here’s the story.🧵

Rufo continues:

On Tuesday, Peterson made a YouTube video “pushing back back on the narrative of modern systemic racism and white privilege.”

The video quickly hit 10,000 views within the labs and dozens of Sandia employees contacted Peterson to express support.

Within hours, Sandia executives dispatched a counterintelligence team to lock Peterson out of the network and scrub his communications from internal servers—which, via the Streisand Effect, made the video even more viral and sparked widespread unrest against Sandia executives.

By the afternoon, executives were panicking about the brewing rebellion, placed Peterson on paid administrative leave, and established a “security review board” to “evaluate whether [his] actions have comprised or posed a threat to Sandia computing and security systems.”

Peterson—who took a stand at grave risk to his career—says he is speaking on behalf of all of Sandia employees who are “scared to speak out” because of the lab’s repressive culture. “If I get fired because of this,” Peterson says, “the fight does not end, it only intensifies.”

This is the first explicit rebellion against critical race theory in the federal government—and the coalition is growing. “We need to completely rip [critical race theory] out of Sandia root and stem,” Peterson says. “It is cancer and we need to get it out of the labs right now.”

Sandia executives have made it clear: they want to force critical race theory, race-segregated trainings, and white male reeducation camps on their employees—and all dissent will be severely punished. Progressive employees will be rewarded; conservative employees will be purged.

Keep this in mind: Sandia Labs is a federally-funded research agency and designs America’s nuclear weapons. Senator @HawleyMO and @SecBrouillette have launched an inspector general investigation, but Sandia executives have only accelerated their purge against conservatives.

Sandia executives face a decision-point: they can back down and Peterson’s rebellion will notch an internal victory; or they can fire him and Peterson will become further evidence of Sandia’s corrupt and repressive culture. In a sense, Peterson cannot lose.

I don’t know what critical race theory is, but it sounds like something invented by communists.

CRT is another swamp critter that needs to be removed from the Federal Government by the re-election of President Trump in November.

“White male reeducation camps,” let that sink in.
Imagine what a Biden administration would do to accelerate that, led by The Squad.

Streisand Effect...

Had to look that up. It fits

[hopespringseternal]

Just like they infiltrated universities, schools and churches, marxist revolutionaries are infiltrating upper management in everything else. This isn’t just people with a certain political viewpoint, it is a power play, cancel culture writ large.

We are rapidly approaching the need for a Pinochet-style purging of these people before they enslave us all.

How many chinese among those 16k employees one might wonder?

Why aren't lawsuits being rained down on the government agencies promoting this Marxist garbage? This is a textbook example of creating a hostile work environment.

[Honorary Serb]

You’re right!!!!

Sen. Hawley is the very best, and his actions against the Sandia administration must prevail!

When he and his allies are done with that, they should start in on the universities, ALL of which are dependent on Federal funding!!! “Diversity” programs at universities must be destroyed, and ALL “diversity” administrators in universities must be fired!!!!

That’s exactly what it is.

Chritopher Rufo Reports:

"SCOOP: Department of Energy @SecBrouillette has called on the Inspector General to conduct a full "enterprise-wide" investigation into critical race theory in the federal laboratories."

Great! Another Inspector General Investigation. The problem is that the IGs are deepsters and the Deep State likes this kind of training. It placates the left. It infuriates the right. It is anti-trump. It hires idiot useless beltway bandit support service contractors (think mansions in Montgomery County Maryland and high rise offices in Tyson Corner VA) to prepare and conduct this nonsense training.

And remember they are accomplishing a CHICOM goal - undermine the nuclear weapons competence of the United States.

Wow. Great conservative human being this Peterson fellow.

So— the Sandia Execs (who run a Fedrally funded Nuclear Weapons research and National Security high level Classified work)— are FORCING critical race theory down on their employees, selecting out whites for “re-education”. THAT FRiends is against EVERY US Code Law regarding both Federal employees and US contractors employees. As a basis for funding of the US National Defense critical operations of Sandia— they CANNOT do this. Period. And cannot do this to the deferral to LIBERAL/Leftist viewpoints (said individuals would HAVE TO BE put under Security Background checks/observations, or they should be, anyway (see: General Groves vs. Oppenheimer and his Communist pals, security threat for the development of the Manhatten Project. Said affiliations did result in a UK Soviet agent in place stealing the National Secrets and getting them to the Soviets— it happened).

Critical Race Theory is just that a Theory. And no “Woke” Execs (who are without a doubt all techie wonk Leftist Democrats who give to the supply system of Californicated techie lib/Chinese agents who fund them in turn), should ever be allowed to force this as POLICY, and turn away real talent... regardless of RACE, etc.

So— HOW DO: these executive relegate the recent exposure within Sandia and other defense critical contractors of CHINESE COMMUNIST spies in their midst. See: FBI counterintel captures, many names. How do they relegate this clear massive security breach with the SELECTIVE advancement of LEFTIST/Communist fellow travellers WORKING FOR THEM, and supplying/aiding and abetting these Foreign agents stealing our brain trust? They cannot. Top to bottom review @howsley
