Whistleblower: There’s a Trans Cult Inside the NSA - An insider tells the story of the intel agency’s ideological capture.
City Journal ^ | 26 Feb, 2025 | Christopher F. Rufo

Posted on 02/27/2025 5:58:47 AM PST by MtnClimber

This week, City Journal broke the story of the National Security Agency’s secret sex chatroom, which was filled with salacious discussions of genital surgeries, trans fetishes, and sexual activities. The headlines rocketed through the national media and led to action by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who, within days, released a memo demanding that the intelligence agencies identify the participants, terminate their employment, and remove their security clearances.

But according to our whistleblower, these sex chats were just the tip of the iceberg. This longtime NSA insider tells me that the ideological capture of the NSA began a decade ago. Trans activists have entrenched themselves in positions of power, pressured employees to undergo reeducation trainings, and compromised national security in the name of ideology.

This is a sadly familiar story in many American institutions. But with the NSA, the stakes are higher. The agency is responsible for overseeing America’s digital intelligence-gathering and is, in theory, a key part of our national security apparatus.

The following interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Christopher Rufo: Tell me about this culture and how it’s been spreading through the NSA. And talk to me about what it was like, even a year ago or a few months ago, before Trump reentered the White House.

NSA Whistleblower: About ten years ago, they started doing the “employee resource groups”: African-American, veterans, Pride. It was just a meeting here and there, almost like a potluck—culture, food, a speech. Then it started to get more and more. Instead of just one day a month, it was one week a month, or the whole month. You could be hired as a mathematician, a staff officer, or system engineer, but you would spend your time going to these events and having meetings all day about it. They got themselves into position to help craft policy and started pushing the idea that if you want to get promoted, you have to participate in these events.

And then everything became Pride. You would go to a training, and it would be about “privilege” and “how to be a better ally.” A lady would give classes on how to talk “gender-neutral” to people. You had analysts that didn’t want to do the reporting they were supposed to be doing because they were going to have to report on somebody’s “dead name.” They were having this crisis of conscience about reporting the adversary’s actual name because they thought it was their “dead name,” and they didn’t want to disrespect the person. It was like a cult that was hellbent on pushing gender ideology.

Rufo: It seems like this is a clique of very activist male-to-female transgender agents. Tell me about this community.

Whistleblower: There is a very small number of them, but they wield an enormous amount of power. And outside of the sick stuff, you also see a prevalent Marxist philosophy going on with these people in their chat rooms. They hate capitalism. They hate Christians. They’re always espousing socialist and Marxist beliefs.

I know several people at the agency brought that up, like, “Hey, we’re here to fight for the U.S.A. and go after the adversaries.” And they just got hammered. They would just start coming out with “transphobe” and “homophobe” right away or calling you a “racist.” And that’s why a lot of folks are still hesitant to say anything, because you still have people at these agencies in those key spots. It infected everything.

Rufo: And then what is the outcome? In your view, does such a focus on DEI and trans ideology degrade the actual intelligence activities of the agency?

Whistleblower: It does, because you have people more focused on this ideology, and the folks that are into this don’t put their effort into their work. I don’t care if you’re politically left or right; you can’t have an unbiased mind if you’re writing a report, and you’re constantly focused on “how does this apply to gender ideology.” Because when you do that, it’s going to get people killed in the field.

Rufo: You’re talking about trans ideology, cult-like behavior, and Marxist politics. That, to me, screams unstable. It screams counterintelligence risk. How do you see it?

Whistleblower: All of the above. The folks like that were quite unstable. I see it as a counterintelligence risk. But it’s being normalized and it’s being praised. There was a time in the last year when people were writing blog entries trying to one-up each other. “I have a non-binary child.” “Oh, well I have two trans children.” It became a social thing, trying to one-up each other with how weird they are. And then they’d come up with new terms because they have to be unique. They want you to treat them normally and, at the same time, you better recognize that they are unique and different from you. So, there’s no winning. It is a lose-lose scenario.

Rufo: The Director of National Intelligence released a memo that will require all intelligence agencies to identify the trans fetishists and to terminate their employment and revoke their security clearances. How do you expect that to play out?

Whistleblower: I wish I could say I see it playing out well, with them following the orders and doing it. But after the last four years, I just don’t know. They should be able to identify them easily because they have all those logs. If they can’t, then they’re just stonewalling. I hope this is the start of getting our intel agencies back to what they should be doing, which is focused on intel and supporting the warfighter. Just come in and do your job. Leave that shit at the door.

The left does not seem to realize how bizarre this seems to most people.

I dont know if I would call it a “cult” more like a bunch of mentally ill perverts who are drawn to others like themselves.

There is a design engineer at Intel who is probably part of this group or closely related to them.
The guy was nuts but protected by upper management.

I thought they needed security clearance at NSA. Long ago when doing personal background investigation, agents would ask if the person had any unusual sexual proclivities. I guess they don’t ask that anymore since nothing is viewed as unusual except heterosexual.

“..I dont know if I would call it a “cult” more like a bunch of mentally ill perverts who are drawn to others like themselves....”

It’s a debitating, chronic, no-cure mental disorder. We used to have asylums with rubber-lined cells for the folks like this. We need to reinstate those asylums and get em back in there where they can get the help they need. They don’t bleong anywhere near government or any kind of power. They’re sick.

It will be interesting if America’s perversion is almost exclusively the outcome of government operations designed to enhance it.

Drag Queens probably don’t really want to read books to children, they’re just paid to do it.

It sounds like NSA is going to have to get rid of most of their staff and start from near scratch.

At an absolute minimum everyone at supervisor level and above must be fired.

None of those folks have union protection so it can be done immediately.

One third of my yearly performance goals at my job in corporate-land is tied to Diversity-type stuff and expectations on involvement with Employee Resource Groups, of which none are “European origin,” groups, but some are Asian and other ethnicities.

Perverts band together and attack normal people and prey upon them because their particular brand of perversion is the center of their being. This is the reason that our society kept down these animals for thousands of years.

I work for a very conservatively run multinational corporation. They just did a survey and I noted how grateful I was that we didn’t waste time with any of that garbage.

They pay lip service to it but that’s all.

There is some sort of volunteer DEI employee team. I haven’t heard anything about it in a long time.

One of the guys on that team is black and to the right of me. He won’t take any bull.

It is this perverted, cult-like "bizarreness" in our government that is going to force the sane people among them (and I'll bet there are more than we realize) to blow their whistles.

This house of cards is going to collapse...soon.

I wonder who is really controlling this all. Russia? China? Iran? Did you know that Iran does the most per capita transsexual surgeries than any other nation in the world? If a man comes out as gay, they turn them into a transsexual right away to prove to the world they have no gay men. They changed their names and make them live as women and at a lower class. It gives them total control over them.
