Intelligence Agencies Say Diversity is a Top National Security Priority

In the two years since George Floyd’s accidental fentanyl overdose death, multiple intelligence agencies and other national security apparatuses have focused on hiring more minorities, claiming that diversity is a top national security issue.

According to the Associated Press, multiple employees of various intelligence agencies used the accidental death of George Floyd, which sparked violent race riots and acts of domestic terrorism all across the country, as an excuse to complain about alleged discrimination in the workplace. Staff calls were held at several agencies in the summer of 2020, including the National Security Agency (NSA), where General Paul Nakasone listened as employees listed their grievances with alleged racism, according to one anonymous source who claims to have been on the call. The individual claimed, without any evidence, that their role and the roles of other non-White employees were undermined or underappreciated by upper management.

The NSA issued a statement that, while not acknowledging reports of the alleged staff call, said that it nevertheless will “regularly examine the outcomes of our personnel systems to assess their fairness.”

“Beyond the mission imperative,” the statement continued, “NSA cultivates diversity and promotes inclusion because we care about our people and know it is the right way to proceed.”

Despite many agencies pushing new diversity initiatives and training, some claim that they have not gone far enough. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines has appointed several advisers to serve in diversity-focused roles, aimed at hiring more minorities as well as studying alleged discrimination in the intelligence community. Among other initiatives, this group is investigating such questions as whether or not the process of obtaining a security clearance is easier for White people than for non-White people.

These people are risking national security to show off their woke virtue signaling.

Our intel agencies are worse than a bad joke. For example...

American and European news reports on the war are on the laughable level of WW2 Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally. They are obviously written by our politicized intel agencies and handed to the controlled Mockingbird Media.

To get anything like an objective view of the war, you have to follow foreign OSINT mappers and analysts like the Singapore-based vlogger Defense Politics Asia.

Here’s a novel idea: How about National Security being the top National Security Priority.

At one level, having a diverse intelligence staff is a must. I would think that a HUMINT asset in a given country would need to at least pass himself off as being from that country.

I don’t think I could pass myself off as being from SE Asia. Nor do I think I could pass myself off as being from sub Saharan Africa.

If you try to set a honeypot for a senior official, that honeypot is going to need to be what attracts that target. If that target is known to beat sodomite, well, your honeypot needs to either be one as well or at least able to play one on TV.

If you’re going to analyze intelligence, it would probably be helpful to have analysts who have lived in the country of at least have a deep familiarity.

So on that level, a certain amount of diversity is important.

Something tells me that this is not what he was talking about. God help us.

The Ukraine narrative of we are winning is BS. The best Ukraine can hope for is the status quo ante bellum, but that is less likely now. Ukraine should have implemented the Minsk II agreement in 2015. They would have been able to keep the Donbas region within Ukraine if they had given more local autonomy as agreed to. Now, it is likely two new nations will emerge.

NSA employment ad:

Wanted: fat, low-IQ, potato chip-eating people who don’t know which bathroom to use. Desirable qualities include the inability to count past 10 when assessing enemy strength; fairly allocating manpads, tanks, ammo, grenades and machineguns to enemy forces around the world regardless of race, religion or mental stability; wearing a welder’s helmet when looking for communists; leaving Americans stranded in enemy territory.

Soaring oil and gas prices help Russia more than triple its current account surplus to $96 billion, its largest in 28 years

Russia has a current account surplus of $95.8 billion so far in 2022, the central bank said, helped by surging prices for oil and gas exports paired with cratering imports amid Western sanctions.

This year's surplus is more than triple the $27.5 billion in the same span last year and is the highest since 1994.

Western sanctions have yet to fully deter global customers from buying Russian oil. While the European Union has publicly condemned the Kremlin for its war in Ukraine, it has yet to impose an oil embargo and remains Russia's top export market. Meanwhile, China and India have stepped up purchases of Russian oil.

Last week, the International Energy Agency said Russian oil export revenue is up 50% since the start of 2022 with the Kremlin generating close to $20 billion per month in sales.

Export volume has rebounded to levels seen before Russia invaded Ukraine. In April, Russian oil exports climbed by 620,000 barrels per day from the prior month to 8.1 million, back to their January and February average, the IEA said.

Revenue from oil and gas sales — as well as Moscow's strict capital controls — have helped prop up Russia's ruble, which has become the world's top-performing currency against the dollar.

“Intelligence Agencies Say Diversity is a Top National Security Priority”

Which means doing their jobs is a lower priority as is hiring and promoting the best qualified.

“Which means doing their jobs is a lower priority as is hiring and promoting the best qualified.”

The entire government has been doing that for a while. The saving grace with the Intel Agencies was that the really bad actors couldn’t get a security clearance.

Black is a political term created to create unity, homogenitity, not diversity.

If the diversity that exists in the Afro Heritage citizenry was promoted like the segregation and unity, then Democrat party would not exist

A homogeneous Black citizenry is absolutely required for the democrat party to have any power. The actual diversity of the Black citizenry is a perceived travesty that must be always hidden

If percentages of people not equal diversity won’t be equal it becomes a token party or replace race.
