Cliff Sims, who served as deputy director of national intelligence under former President Donald Trump, said in an interview that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) division within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and intelligence agencies was “erased.” ” said he should.upon Breitbart News SaturdayHe added that he was surprised at the “politicization” within the intelligence agency when he saw a DEI office at CIA headquarters.
When Sims was asked about the first time he entered the CIA headquarters building and saw the DEI and transgender-positive posters on the walls, he described the encounter in his upcoming book. I am. Book, darkness has not been conqueredSims said he was “shocked” by the “politicization of intelligence agencies.”
“When I first walked in, I was really shocked when I saw the existence of the DEI office, the politicization of the intelligence community to advance a woke social agenda. And what I immediately noticed: 1 One is that among many of my colleagues in the intelligence community, there are a lot of really good people who are trying to do the right thing, who are trying to protect the country that they eat and sleep on. And it breathes life into America’s national security and protects America’s interests and the American people,” Sims explained.
“But even those people were intimidated and intimidated by the DEI office and the various DEI obligations that exist, and the pressure to use people pronouns.” An internal opinion published a few months ago in Internal Intelligence Community magazine. The article explained how cross-dressing for current agents helped them do their jobs better as intelligence analysts. This is something the Biden administration needs to stop doing. In our strategy, which is basically a playbook for how the U.S. intelligence community prioritizes different issues, we’re creating various benchmarks for diversity, equity, and inclusion. .”
Sims added that there was also an opinion piece in the Internal Intelligence Community magazine saying people need to use their words carefully to avoid hurting Asian Americans, especially when talking about the “Chinese Communist Party.”
“The same publication I mentioned earlier also published an editorial about the need to be very careful in using certain words when talking about the Chinese Communist Party. You don’t want to offend Asian Americans; And there’s no need to use the word jihadist, because you don’t want to offend the Muslims in the intelligence services.”
“This is the kind of insanity we see out there, and DEI offices have become so powerful and such an intimidating element that it impacts workplace culture. So the natural question is, what? If Trump comes back in office, I think the first thing he should do is get rid of the DEI Office of Intelligence and take the money that they’ve been spending on that. Let’s spend it on further strengthening our capabilities to counter a national security threat: a rising and hostile China.”
“Sometimes we say that no one should sacrifice their religious beliefs as a condition of employment. First Amendment rights must be protected. And even more fundamentally, part of the intelligence community’s recruiting efforts has historically been to drive talent away from Ivy League schools. I think that’s where a lot of the intelligence officers come from.
“Instead, we need to work aggressively to attract more students from the top ranks of state schools and HBCUs. These so-called elite institutions have become woke indoctrination factories. This means that intelligence agencies’ talent pipelines are disproportionately filled with individuals trained to prioritize ideological conformity over critical thinking, leading to dissent on these campuses. Given the alarming rise of Judaism, it is becoming increasingly difficult to argue that such institutions are the best place to train a truly diverse workforce for the intelligence community.
