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.

Critical race theory is nothing more than Nazi race theory marketed under a different name.

Truly there is nothing new under the sun.

Chritopher Rufo Reports:

"SCOOP: Department of Energy @SecBrouillette has called on the Inspector General to conduct a full "enterprise-wide" investigation into critical race theory in the federal laboratories."

Great! Another Inspector General Investigation. The problem is that the IGs are deepsters and the Deep State likes this kind of training. It placates the left. It infuriates the right. It is anti-trump. It hires idiot useless beltway bandit support service contractors (think mansions in Montgomery County Maryland and high rise offices in Tyson Corner VA) to prepare and conduct this nonsense training.

And remember they are accomplishing a CHICOM goal - undermine the nuclear weapons competence of the United States.

what could possibly go wrong?

Yes. And there is no such thing as “Native” or “indigenous peoples.” Hell, there were homo sapiens in North America 30,000 years ago. The “American Indians” were a subsequent migration after how many others before that? They are neither native nor indigenous.

The battle lines are drawn...

If someone wants a great explanation of this garbage (critical race theory) and other similar leftist thought patterns, this podcast nails it:

These ideas are basically a religion for these people, the podcast discusses.

“Hazel O’Leary, then Secretary of Energy...”The longer I live the more convinced I am that women are a large part of our problems. They are simply not normally geared for politics. Susceptible to whining children. Every kid has to have the same color lollypop. Yeah, I’m an old woman/mother and I see clearly based on what I have seen and common sense.

The same color lollipop. Would you be referring to the color coded badges at LANL? Badges were color coded since classified information was compartmentalized. O’Leary called the color coding racist.
Richardson was SecEnergy when I was doing work for the labs. This was during the times of the leaks. Wen Ho Lee was not an isolated case. The time I was there, a physicist was busted for running a meth lab. Several hard drives were found during the raid.
