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.

Trebuchet are suitable if a short hop and a long drop are the goal. An Asplundh shredder provides more drama.
Vermeer also makes a pretty nice series of shredders.
Secretary Brouillete reports to Trump, so he is slow rolling Trump and Trump should note that.
#ShutDownSandia!
Yes, but he won’t be the first cabinet official who has delayed or blocked Trump. The DOE Secretary’s confirmation vote was heavily bipartisan. I bet he got a lot of globalist open borders type support.
Sarcasm, right? Better be, or you are an idiot, or else carrying water with a highly strung out argument of “productivity”.
For your information: The term critical race theory describes a theory (which is in actual fact, being implemented as demonstrated by this and many other activities) presupposes that everything about American society is thoroughly racist, and minority groups will never be equal until American society is entirely reformed— to the Marxist’s standards.
Since Marx STOLE every damn thing he wrote about— including from Christian theology, the communal aspects especially, this is why this appeals to the deeply selfconscious- anal guilt ridden LEFTIST small c christians (Inside Sandia— there are a lot of mormons in natsec positions enforcing this notion-Romney’s “base” so to speak. In the greater world, this race theory/practice is conducted the well known globalist Jesuitical cabal being run by the current pope, his circle of queer cardinals banging each othe and little boys and aided by world banker/globalist who are well identified. The New World Order.)
These people are all through our mil-industrial complex.... you know “the love that dare not speak its name” bullcrap.
You are out to lunch on the bigger better bombs (for the simple reason beyond all of the above—that that goal is NOT part of US nuclear deterrent planning or policy, not since GHWBush stood down 24 hour on station nuclear deterrence).
The movie “Fargo” comes to mind. The human “Bass-O-Matic”.
Precisely whom I was thinking and commenting about. Not a good resolution of what he supposedly did— because they could not prove the chi-com linkage (his handlers- his cutouts, etc. as always difficult to penetrate the Bamboo Curtain).
He made some blanket claim about other “non-Han” heritage chinese ancestry at the lab being allowed to continue their work in secure areas. The guy was Taiwanese, and this is fertile ground for blackmail recruiting by chi-coms using mainland family/relatives as bait.
This was under, btw, Louis Freeh who was notably bad at his job, but a perfect Clintonite working with Janet Reno (!yikes), and the chi-coms were real pals with the clintoonians.
We got the first NYC Twin Towers bombing, right on top of the Waco Davidian compound siege begun on the same date- February 28, 1993 under FBI director William Sessions (a Reagan appointee in 1987, and gave us Ruby Ridge under GHWBush time in the 4 years prior to billy cokenose clinton coming in, after the disaster that was GHWBush dismantling Reaganism).
My husband is a county employee, and has been enrolled in mandatory reeducation classes to learn that he has white privilege, that he is a participant in systemic racism and that he is a cisgender. He is 55 and us counting the days till retirement.
I hope Trump steps in to specifically support this guy.
