Rebellion Against Critical Race Theory in the Federal Gov't (Sandia Labs)
twitter ^ | 8/27/2020 | Christopher F. Rufo

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.

On Tuesday, Peterson made a YouTube video "pushing back back on the narrative of modern systemic racism and white privilege." (VIDEO AT LINK)

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.

ccording to multiple sources, the executives who have pushed the most toxic elements of critical race theory and race-segregated trainings are James Peerey, Dori Ellis, David White (he/him), and Mark Sellers. They must be investigated by the Inspector General.

Here's the bottom line: this is the first shot in the rebellion against critical race theory in the federal government. Casey Peterson has taken a courageous stand and the Inspector General must conduct a full investigation of Sandia Labs—and hold executives accountable.

We are opening up a multi-front war against critical race theory in the federal government: (1) investigative reporting to expose the truth; (2) internal rebellions to increase the pressure; (3) inspector general investigations; (4) laying the groundwork for an executive order.

Once learned first hand, from a ranking CIS gru officer, (headquartered between Moscow and St Petersburg), this had been a critical and standing schematic component of “Beria’s” greater scheme for U.S. youth and society, and foundational to what we refer today as “liberation theology”.

Management at Sandia is usually a contractor. Lockheed Martin ran the lab for a long time.

The current contractor is National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC (NTESS) for short.

“At this stage, the implosion begins and the pit is compressed uniformly into a much smaller sphere...”
“Uniformly, as in no preferential directions?”
“Yes, uniformly. Then...”
“Wait, don’t you have a preferential direction to make up for past compression of disadvantaged directions?”
“No, uh, what does that have to do with anything?”
“You know, you a rayciss!”

Thanks for the ping on this, as I hadn’t seen anything about this yet.

I wonder if this will make it to Los Alamos National Labs? I will have to ask my sister tonight and see if she has heard of any of this...

Nice try. There are differences in culture, and even IQ, among people groups. To deny that, to embrace "blank slate" theory, denies reality.

That being said, we certainly should seek freedom and prosperity for ALL American citizens, regardless of their genetic ancestry. No American citizen should have their rights denied on that basis.

Yes there is.

Race is like breed.

No. Race was an invented construct from the Middle Ages. One could just as well compartmentalize people based on their height, eye color, or if they have attached or detached ear lobes.

Critical theories are bound to fail because they have no source source.

Enduring truth has a transcendent reality and source, something greater than mere men, something that men must submit to, like math or scientific law or God Said.

Critical theory’s source is the opinion of a professor, pulled from his bottom, hailing back to Hegel and Marx. It is theft, lies and corruption.

A long video but well worth spending the time to view it to the end.

This bogus critical race theory is marxist disinformation designed to pit we US citizens against each other, weaken our businesses and make us abandon our founding principles as set out in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Perhaps you are thinking of Sandia Pueblo.

Sandia Labs is (mostly) on Kirtland Airforce Base, on the south side of the city and extending east into the foothills of the Manzano mountains.

Adaptation is not “race”.
Hell the Enlish used to refer to the the “Irish race” and Ameicans used to talk about the Chinese “race”. Kenyans are blak but run marathons and West Africans play wide receiver in the NFL. They are both black and African. That is adaptation, not “race”. One has huge lung capacity while the other has longer achilles tendons and quick twitch muscle. Then there are Mexican Indians in the mountains of central Mexico who eat beans and corn and run in 150 mile contests through the mountains. That is not a race either. People built square buildings in northern climes to support the snow load in winter. They had to make tools and plan for the change in seasons. They had to calcuate mathematically as well. It was a matter of survival. Still that is not race. That again is adaptation—both mentally and physically.

Actually, the real racists are LEFTISTS who grant affirmative action preferences based on “race”—a purely political abstraction posited to grant largess to a subjectively chosen group.

This, then, is among the half-dozen or so identifiable push-back events exerted by any U.S. citizen(s) against the communist revolution that has been rolling, unabated, over the Nation for the past two decades...

A small but significant step...
Old John Brown's body is a-mouldering in the dust,
Old John Brown's rifle ís red with blood-spots turned to rust,
Old John Brown's pike has made its last, unflinching thrust,...

It's OK, but just don't distract the sheeple as they graze peacefully...

Yuri Bezmenov had a lot to say about similar ongoing psyops operations.

Los Alamos is north of Albuquerque, actually north and a bit west of Santa Fe. Sandia is around the same area as the Albuquerque Sunport (international airport), along with Kirtland AFB, all on the east side of Albuquerque. Roughly near the southeast corner of the interchange of I-25 and I-40.
I have done business with both labs when I lived in ABQ, and am familiar with the time that Hazel O’Leary, then Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton was at Los Alamos for a meeting. She would not allow the meeting to proceed unless there was another black person there - she insisted on any black person, and it had to be RIGHT NOW! So they jumped through hoops and grabbed the first black they could for the meeting. Then they could not discuss anything since that person, brought into the meeting for the sole purpose of appeasing Witch Hazel, did not have the required Q clearance. I knew one of the physicists who was in that meeting.
