Director of National Intelligence Celebrates LGBT Pride Month: 'What The Intel Community Is About'

2014-06-19

[WEEKLYSTANDARD] In line with President Obama's official proclamation of June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month," the banner headlining the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Wednesday proclaims the agency's celebration of the same, noting, "It's also about what the IC is about: integration."
I see yer problem...
The graphic contains a quote from a March speech given by director James Clapper at the Intelligence Community (IC) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Allies (LGBTA) Summit which was held this year at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland:

[T]his isn't just about what's altruistically right. It's also about what the IC is about: integration. It means having and using a widely diverse workforce, and taking advantage of all those great intellects we have, while removing as many frustrations and distractions as possible. So -- it's not just about what's right. It's about good business in our profession.

#4 NASA has "Muslim outreach".
US State Department has Gay rights. Seems like the ODNI is stepping on State's turf.

#3 Folks, we arfe well and truly fucked with this clown show in DC and the head Clown Obama running the circus.

Yeah, we here have all known that for some time.

I think it is starting to dawn on a lot of other Americans that don't pay attention much. Kind of hard to ignore the beginning of the collapse now. Just wait until the full collapse comes.

#2 In October 37 AD, Caligula fell seriously ill, or perhaps was poisoned. He recovered from his illness soon thereafter, but many believed that the young emperor had changed into a diabolical mind as he started to kill off or exile those who were close to him or whom he saw as a serious threat.

#1 Yeah, never mind having actionable, timely and correct intelligence, as well as properly supported and argued analysis, cogently presented to decision makers. Those things are what used to be professionalism - now its all about having the right orientation in the right numbers and suppressing any and all who might not want to play Political Correctness games.

Folks, we arfe well and truly fucked with this clown show in DC and the head Clown Obama running the circus.
