The infiltration of “woke” ideology into the core institutions of our nation has reached a concerning peak, as evidenced by a recent newsletter from the DEI office within the US Intelligence Service. The newsletter shockingly features an intelligence official proclaiming, ““I think crossdressing has made me a better officer.”” (Breitbart). This publication strays far from relevant intelligence work, focusing instead on personal lifestyle choices under the guise of promoting inclusivity.
““My experiences dressing in feminine clothing have helped me recognize and overcome my own identity-based biases and mindsets. Crossdressing has helped me understand that other people–including those we study in the IC–experience the world differently. Many in the international relations and national security fields call this strategic empathy-the practice of looking at issues from another person’s perspective, used to better understand foreign actors.”” (Unnamed intelligence official in The Dive DEI Newsletter).
Screenshots from this newsletter have been circulating, showcasing its content, leading one to question if such distractions are contributing to recent “intelligence failures.” Is our security being compromised by an overemphasis on social justice rather than focusing on preventing global threats?
The newsletter, titled The Dive, is part of a broader push within the U.S. intelligence community orchestrated by its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Office to prioritize left-wing initiatives over national security concerns. “According to a Fox News Digital review of the document…the internal newsletter…highlighted several left-wing initiatives and was circulated throughout the U.S. spy apparatus.” This focus on “the importance of words” and making spy agencies more inclusive is alarming when there are pressing global threats that require undivided attention.
It’s evident that this DEI-driven narrative within our intelligence community may not reflect the views of all its members but raises significant concerns about priorities and focus areas. “This issue of The Dive highlights some … initiatives to improve the accuracy of the language we use on other topics; these are a sampling and are not comprehensive of all the great work being done across our agencies,” states the unnamed editor-in-chief in an attempt to justify their agenda.
This misplaced focus within sections of our government is deeply troubling for anyone concerned about national security and efficiency in addressing real-world threats.
