Queer Ubermenschen - America’s woke master race goes nuclear.
Front Page Magazine ^ | 18 Sep, 2024 | Lloyd Billingsley

The National Nuclear Security Administration is “a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and militarily effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad.” Such important tasks require the best personnel, but the people have cause to wonder.

In February, the Biden-Harris administration announced five new NNSA appointees, with staff now 60 percent women, 57 percent “people of color,” and 25 percent “identifying as LGBTQ+.” The NNSA lists no percentage for people withexpertise in nuclear science and proven experience in fields of the agency’s mandate.

Appointed as an NNSA “Special Assistant” is Sneha Nair, previously “a Research Analyst with the Nuclear Security Program at the Stimson Center, where she led research on insider threat mitigation, bias in human reliability programs, and implications of emerging technologies. Nair has held roles at the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization in Austria and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the Netherlands. She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and holds an MA (Honours) in Geography and International Relations from the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom.”

Nair’s bio shows no degrees in nuclear science but she is co-author of “Queering nuclear weapons: How LGBTQ+ inclusion strengthens security and reshapes disarmament,” published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Her co-author Louis Reitmann, is a research associate at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation and a board member of the Emerging Voices Network, organized by the British American Security Information Council (BASIC). Reitman earned an MSc in international relations from the London School of Economics, but nothing in his bio about nuclear science.

Following a recent conference, the authors were disturbed by comments such as “they should not allow mentally ill people near weapons of mass destruction.” The authors challenge “the common belief that queer identity has no relevance for nuclear policy, and that examining the relationship between queerness and nuclear policy is intended to push a social agenda rather than to address substantive issues.”

During “this Pride Month,” Nair and Reitmann want readers: “to understand that the visible representation and meaningful participation of queer people matters for nuclear policy outcomes. Discrimination against queer people can undermine nuclear security and increase nuclear risk. And queer theory can help change how nuclear practitioners, experts, and the public think about nuclear weapons.” They also contend:

“Equity and inclusion for queer people is not just a box-ticking exercise in ethics and social justice; it is also essential for creating effective nuclear policy. Studies in psychology and behavioral science show that diverse teams examine assumptions and evidence more carefully, make fewer errors, discuss issues more constructively, and better exchange new ideas and knowledge.”

In addition:

“Governments cannot afford to lose out on the human capital and innovation potential of queer people. Informed by their life experiences, queer people have specific skills to offer that are valuable in a policy and diplomacy context. LGBTQ+ people often must navigate being different from those around them; develop the ability to listen and empathize; and mobilize the skill and perseverance to make themselves heard.”

On the other hand:

“Exclusion and unfair treatment of queer individuals and other minorities by a homogenous, cis-heteronormative community of practitioners also creates vulnerabilities in nuclear decision making. Cis-heteronormativity is the automatic assumption that someone is heterosexual and identifies with the sex assigned to them at birth. It creates the idea that being heterosexual and cisgender is normal and natural, whereas being queer or trans is a deviation.”

Sneha Nair also wants people to know that:

“Queer theory is a field of study, closely related to feminist theory, that examines sex- and gender-based norms. It shines a light on the harm done by nuclear weapons through uranium mining, nuclear tests, and the tax money spent on nuclear weapons ($60 billion annually in the United States) instead of on education, infrastructure, and welfare.”

And so on, ad nauseum. Louis Reitmann and Sneha Nair conclude:

“Participating as oneself in the nuclear field is a right that should be extended to all. However, including the LGBTQ+ community in the nuclear field is far more than a social issue campaign. It is up to allies, people in power, and the institutions they serve to vocalize their support for LGBTQ+ inclusion, not just because it is the right thing to do, but also because queer people add value to nuclear weapons policy and discourse. Decision makers should look to LGBTQ+ inclusion for better nuclear policy outcomes, and build environments in which queer people can bring their specific skills and lived experiences to bear without fear. Arguments to the contrary are as stagnant and outdated as those who voice them.” (emphases added)

Sneha and Louis seem unaware that, as Bruce Bawer explains, “homosexuality and transgenderism are two utterly different phenomena,” and “queer” can mean anything. The LGBTQ+ formulation is a pre-fabricated construct that serves only to divide people into oppressed and oppressor classes, what the left has always done. Any component of the construct is not an accomplishment, but there’s more to it.

Readers have a right to wonder about claims that “queer people have specific skills” and are necessarily more skilled or innovative at anything. Readers might wonder about the science behind the claim that queer people “examine assumptions and evidence more carefully make fewer errors, discuss issues more constructively, and better exchange new ideas and knowledge.”Science involves data, testing, calculation and replication. As Bawer observes, the alphabet construct is all about what people “think” of themselves, but there’s a problem.

If a man thinks he’s a woman and vice versa that does not make it so, any more than a mental patient’s claim to be Napoleon, Nebuchadnezzar or Joan of Arc makes it so. When a criminal suspect pleads innocent, that claim is subject to examination of physical and scientific evidence. A man’s claim to be a woman, and vice versa, should be subject to examination of skeletal structure, musculature, hormones, chromosomes and so forth.

People are free to undergo the irreversible mutilations euphemized as “gender affirming surgery.” On the other hand, there is no “right” to demand that others conform to what Bawer described as a “revolution against reality,” and give up their right to free speech and free thought.

As Special Assistant SnehaNair should know, there is no “right” to work at the National Nuclear Security Administration as a member of the alphabet construct, to fill some DEI quota, or for any other reason. In fact, there is no “right” to employment in any branch of the federal government or the U.S. military. Prospective employees must qualify, meet standards, and be able to perform the required tasks, without endangering others. Nair’s critics are right that mentally ill people should not be allowed near weapons of mass destruction.

Woke junk thought aside Louis and Sneha provide an important revelation. As they contend, arguments to the contrary are outdated as “those who voice them.” So those who dare to disagree with Special Assistant Sneha Nair are not only wrong but “outdated,” relegated to the oppressive past.

History was a chronicle of cis-heteronormative oppression until the arrival of incompetent transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg; “Admiral” Rachel Levine, the HHS physician who first does harm; and Sam Brinton, female impersonator and luggage thief. Scan this trio for proof that members of the alphabet construct have “special” skills, make fewer errors, and so forth. And consider the larger back story.

The first Communist state aimed to produce “new Soviet man” and German National Socialism hailed a “master race.” American national socialism is now on the rise, and the construct cadres its goose-stepping ubermenschen. Like the Soviet zampolits, Special Assistant Sheha Nair is a political officer promoting a noxious, divisive ideology that has no place at the National Nuclear Security Administration. As Nair’s appointment confirms, the Biden-Harris administration remains careless with the security of the nation.

Is this some kind of “craziness contest” that the left is competing in?

Nutty people should not be around nuclear weapons.

Sad that this is even an issue.

Queers are nutty.

I know it, you know it, they know it. Everybody knows it.

Yes they do not deserve persecution.

No they do not deserve to work in a field like nuclear weapons and reactors.

Or flying passengers around.

Other things may be added to this list.

Sorry, but they made a career decision when they went gay.

When America was still governed by relatively sane people, being a faggot was an impediment to being granted a security clearance ...

Define "persecution".

Now, consider THEIR definition of "persecution".

Now you see the problem.

Yes ... they DO deserve persecution.

Meanwhile Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin sit back and laugh, as this idioticy requires us to eventually disarm our nukes.

“Queers are nutty.”

Not all are nutty. Probably far less than half are nutty.

Of many reasons why our country is declining one is we are stuck with these archaic principles that no longer apply as well as they did when 1/2 the country was wilderness. such as immigration. Not only are the numbers no longer needed but the old belief that any immigrant is good if lawfully done is invalid. Truth is we are not getting quality immigrants anymore in many cases. Haiti is just example and in this disaster is first generation Sneha Nair. For gosh sake she actually wrote an article about “queering” nuclear weapons where she specifically picked on and attacked white males. She is counterculture in every sense of the phrase: LGBTQ radical, feminist, abortionist, political leftist, racist, and probably eats live kittens and puppies for fun..(ok..trying to joke here). Ist generation…and we are getting many, many of them like that. IMG-0009 We need an immigration moratorium…total ban for 4 years and then restructured to only let a limited number of highly vetted people in based on merit and our needs. Do I think that will happen? Hell no.

Holy crap.

We have populated our nuclear agencies with people who apparently know LITTLE about nuclear issues, and are hostile to nuclear power. Being homosexual, they are likely to be against anything military or related to nuclear weapons (with security issues and such) and only view them through a prism of homosexuality.

Apparently.

When we read the kind of stupid, nonsense pap that this person (Sneha Nair) spews out, it should frighten everyone.

People working in this agency should be wholly professional and focused on the issues of processing, handling, and development of nuclear technologies.

This is appalling. I have training in dealing with nuclear materials, and this just makes my skin crawl.

My concerns are with the casks of spent material get from point A to point B , where and how we are storing our spent nuclear product, how we should be encouraging various nuclear technologies, or keeping our nuclear weapons safe for handling until the terrible prospect that they might need to be used.

It makes my blood boil to read this. I have always viewed homosexuals I have encountered professionally in life as individuals first with a sexual peccadillo second, but that stops with this. Of all things, this is the very LAST thing we want, is people who refuse to comprehend the biological difference between a male and a female. How can absolute idiot dipshits like that be expected to tell the difference between an Alpha particle and a Beta particle?

Follow The Science MY ASS.

This is insane. Absolutely insane.

"Exclusion and unfair treatment of queer individuals .. creates vulnerabilities in nuclear decision making."

How??

Doesn't an education in nuclear physics/science, and possibly political science, create strong nuclear decision making?

In the 60's the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was a commie front organization...

Take the lower half of humanity and add in those in the upper half that get government funded and you have the recipe for Democratic victory.
