The CIA's woke recruitment video gets panned: Recruit describes herself as 'intersectional cisgender millennial' diagnosed with 'generalized anxiety disorder' in clip ridiculed online

A new CIA recruitment video has been widely ridiculed online after the recruit described herself as an 'intersectional cisgender millennial'.

The unnamed CIA officer, 36, tells viewers she is 'unapologetically me', adding that she to suffer from 'imposter syndrome' but now refuses to 'internalize misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be.'

But the clip has sparked a fierce reaction online with users labelling it 'woke'. Another said: 'The world is laughing at us.'

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted: 'China and Russia will love this.'

Former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright, tweeted: 'The CIA used to be about mission to country. (I speak from experience).

'Now it's now about demanding — and getting — accommodation to fix an emotional wound or advance a personal agenda. America is less safe with this new CIA, and dangerously more political.'

Another Twitter user compared it to a Saturday Night Live skit.

Glenn Greenwald, part of a team that won a Pulitzer for reports about government surveillance programs based on leaks by Edward Snowden, tweeted: 'Lots of people who pay no attention to the CIA and the security state seem to think this CIA video is the first time they've promoted, endorsed and embraced woke ideology.

'They've been doing it for years. I wrote about back in 2015.'

The clip was shared to Twitter on April 28 in a post which read: 'I am unapologetically me. I want you to be unapologetically you, whoever you are.

'Whether you work at #CIA, or anywhere else in the world. Command your space. Mija, you are worth it.'

I watched the video. People used to promote their QUALIFICATIONS for the job, not their personal issues. A proper CIA application would be "I know five languages and can kill a man with a soda straw" not "I have emotional issues and can take care of small children". Weird Al Yankovic had a better video! https://youtu.be/C-CG5w4YwOI

Didn’t bother watching it ‘cuz it was obviously woke BS.
But I remember trying to watch the Jack Ryan series.
In the first show, he is working with the French. They are trying to surprise some terrorists in their apartment. The Froggies go storming right past some Muzzie kids on the way to the apartment. I knew what happened next - the kids dialed the terrorists and things went pair shaped.
Never bothered watching it again. I bet Clancy would be appalled what they made his movies in to.
Then again, maybe not. He let Hollyweird butcher Patriot Games.

The wife and I fought our way through this debacle, and at the end, before I could say anything, my wife said, “What the hell was that about, and what the hell was that ending?”

She and I have both read many of the Tom Clancy novels. Early on she said, “So far the only thing from the book to this movie is the character’s name.”

That was one SAD excuse of a movie, plot, and ending!

Incredibly screwed this country is.

Speaking of Clancy, I just watched Without Remorse on Amazon this weekend.

John Kelly, AKA John Clark’s C.O. of his Seal Team was a black female LT. Commander. Supposedly she the daughter of Jim Greer.

Thanks for the review. It’s probably my favorite of his Novels—and two of the movies made from other novels in certain aspects manage to transcend the books.

The Hunt for Red October is all round outstanding,

And the juxtaposition of the funeral eulogy and the ambush in Clear and Present Danger is absolutely brilliant and couldn’t be done in the medium of a book.

Clancy’s novels generally were decent, though I eventually got heartily sick of Jack Ryan and Clancy’s toadying to the FBI and CIA. His earlier works were better. But he doesn’t deserve what those woke Hollywood fools did to this fairly compelling revenge novel.

With all that word salad, the one thing not mentioned was doing this for my country. Me me me. Me me me. Nothing about “my country”.

Certainly not one built like a beanpole. Serena Williams maybe.

About half way through the video this woke feminist brags about how she didn’t get hired by slipping through the cracks somehow, but then seconds later the camera focuses and zooms in on a “diversity” award she received. You can’t make this crap up.

There are only two sexual identities: normal and abnormal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And two sexes, male and female.

They are mad at God and taking it out on us.
