The Pentagon is shredding all records and evidence of its DEI agenda.

The Pentagon is in "absolute disarray" with "generals scrambling" due to the incoming Trump administration's plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources.

One source compared it to a hornet's nest being kicked over and that "DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites."

The scramble to hide evidence comes as President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has begun gathering names of senior officers who pushed DEI.

...

Shoemate, who is soliciting names of senior military officers from his vast network of service members and veterans, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News, "They are interested full speed on DEI."

"They want to lop off the head of the Marxist snake. And so that's the primary criteria that I'm trying to focus on," he said.

Shoemate said he is differentiating between officers who have promoted DEI to the detriment of the force, and those who simply have gone along with it.

"We're looking for those who have aggressively pursued DEI policies, and then potentially been the worst about retaliation against troops for the COVID mandate and stuff like that."

A shredding company truck also pulled up today in front of the corrupt criminal DOJ:

(Anti-)Scientific American's woke incompetent Editor in Chief has resigned after attacking half of the country as fascists -- and having turned the once-respected journal into a gonzo leftwing agitprop site little different from Pink News.


Earlier this week, Laura Helmuth resigned as editor in chief of Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. "I've decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief," she wrote on Bluesky. "I'm going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I'd like to share a very small sample of the work I've been so proud to support (thread)."

Helmuth may in fact have been itching to spend more time bird watching--who wouldn't be?--but it seems likely that her departure was precipitated by a bilious Bluesky rant she posted after Donald Trump was reelected.

In it, she accused her generation, Generation X, of being "full of fucking fascists," complained about how sexist and racist her home state of Indiana was, and so on.

"Fuck them to the moon and back," she said of the dumb high school bullies supposedly celebrating Trump's victory.


Whether or not Helmuth's resignation was voluntary, it should go without saying that a few bad social media posts should not end someone's job. If that were the whole story here--an otherwise well-performing editor was ousted over a few bad posts--this would arguably be a case of "cancel culture," or whatever we're calling it these days.

But Helmuth's posts were symptoms of a much larger problem with her reign as editor. They accurately reflected the political agenda she brought with her when she came on as EiC at SciAm--a political agenda that has turned the once-respected magazine into a frequent laughingstock.

Sometimes, yes, SciAm still acts like the leading popular science magazine it used to be--a magazine, I should add, that I received in print form every month during my childhood.

But increasingly, during Helmuth's tenure, SciAm seemed a bit more like a marketing firm dedicated to churning out borderline-unreadable press releases for the day's social justice cause du jour. In the process, SciAm played a small but important role in the self-immolation of scientific authority--a terrible event whose fallout we'll be living with for a long time.

When Scientific American was bad under Helmuth, it was really bad. For example, did you know that "Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy"? Or that the normal distribution--a vital and basic statistical concept--is inherently suspect? No, really: Three days after the legendary biologist and author E.O. Wilson died, SciAm published a surreal hit piece about him in which the author lamented "his dangerous ideas on what factors influence human behavior." That author also explained that "the so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest of us can be accurately measured against." But the normal distribution doesn't make any such value judgments, and only someone lacking in basic education about stats--someone who definitely shouldn't be writing about the subject for a top magazine--could make such a claim.

Some of the magazine's Helmuth-era output made the posthumous drive-by against Wilson look Pulitzer-worthy by comparison. Perhaps the most infamous entry in this oeuvre came in September 2021: "Why the Term 'JEDI' Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion." That article sternly informed readers that an acronym many of them had likely never heard of in the first place--JEDI, standing for "justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion"--ought to be avoided on social justice grounds. You see, in the Star Wars franchise, the Jedi "are a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of "Jedi mind tricks," etc.)"

You probably think I'm trolling or being trolled. There's no way that actual sentence got published in Scientific American, right? No, it's very real.

But her greatest sin was claiming there was scientific proof that sex-change hormones reduced suidiciality -- there is no such proof at all, just repetitions of this dogma by Big Chop -- and making all other kinds of anti-scientific claims about the wonders of cutting off children's healthy body parts so that they can stop feeling uncomfortable in their bodies and begin a new life of feeling uncomfortable in mutilated, chemically-castrated bodies with a lifetime dependency on drugs and further surgeries. See the link for that.

Reminder: Despite losing the election & polls repeatedly showing Americans favor mass deportations & restrictions on the number of migrants in the country, the Biden/Harris admin is still allowing up to 1,500 migrants to enter the US every day via the CBP One cell phone app & up to 30,000 per month to fly into the US via the controversial CHNV mass parole programs.

Trump & his border czar, Tom Homan, have said they will terminate both of these programs on day one.

The programs have allowed approx 1.4 million migrants into the U.S. in less than two years.

At current staffing levels, ICE does not have the resources to track down & remove those who overstay their parole grants via these programs. The incoming Trump admin has said they will focus first on deporting public safety threats , criminals, and the more than 1 million illegal immigrants who have final orders of removal (already ordered deported by a judge after their cases were heard, but are still here).

Regarding the man who dresses as if he were a woman and insists on being able to make women feel uncomfortable in isolated spaces: Mike Johnson sounds very cuckish. Yes, he did offer his own private belief that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, but (and you can always ignore everything someone says before the "but," which is a conjunction used to mean "that bullshit out of the way, here's my real position") he wants to treat this Person Place or Thing with "kindness and dignity," which I take to mean "he will be allowed to use the women's bathrooms and locker rooms."

Nancy Mace, however, says she'll fight this all the way.

Election is over. I can't vote for him again.

Yes, triage is in order for the sequence of deportations, but even when they get to "children and abuelas", the process has to continue.

Each tranche poses its own unique costs on America and its citizens. Just because you wrap one or more in sympathetic emotionalism doesn't mitigate the tangible, intangible, and significant costs each imposes.

50 Meanwhile in the Pentagon...

"General, I have an update on the Progressive Dream. Them/They is being shadowed by a ship of unknown origin."

"Just a second, Major."

A portly man in an overtight class A uniform was working a screwdriver against a tower p.c. With a grunt, he leveraged the panel off and ripped the hard drive out, throwing it on the highly polished floor and stomping it repeated.

"Sir, you do realized that you just destroyed government property."

"I did no such thing, the insurrectionists did it."

"This is a controlled area, how did they get in?"

The flag officer's thinning hair was matted with sweat. "I'll come up with a story later, the important part is that my files are safe."

"No, sir, they're all backed up remotely. Probably on a server in Colorado."

The general slumped into his office chair with a muffled thud, and his chair careened across the smooth floor in a framed picture of Pentagon Drag Queen Story Hour, recently removed from the wall. The impact shattered it.

"Damn it, Major, I've got bigger problems than passenger liner filled with fags and trannies!" Almost as soon as he realized what he said, he raised a hand over his mouth.

Crime or cover-up, you should be convicted.

Trump can/should terminate (at a minimum) those who forced DEI over competence and imposing prejudice. He should, furthermore, prosecute those who discard/destroy records. Pick your poison, Deep Staters, but rest assured you don't have the nation's support in giving you cover.

The Department of Defense has debuted a new strategy aimed at improving its records management activities as part of efforts to achieve and maintain decision advantage.

“This DoD Records Strategy seeks to employ the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence and cloud-based services, to reduce the administrative burden associated with records management, while creating an environment where DoD records are automatically identified and captured, expertly curated, and systemically governed,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks wrote in a foreword to the document.

Hicks, a 2023 Wash100 awardee, said the strategy builds on the goals included in the DOD Data Strategy.

>>My staff just made contact with a new whistleblower who provided a credible account that a FEMA contractor visited the home of an elderly disabled veteran's family around October 10. While there, he recommended that the family remove Trump campaign materials and signs from their house and yard, stating that his FEMA supervisors view Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.

>>The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.

For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,

If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.

Yes..

all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed

all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money

the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews

but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset

Former Obama CIA director John Brennan says Tulsi Gabbard "doesn't have the right perspective" to be Director of National Intelligence.

So let's remind people:
-John Brennan voted for the Communist presidential candidate when in college.
-John Brennan lied under oath to the Senate about the CIA spying on Senate staffers.
-John Brennan lied to the public about Obama's drone war, claiming they never killed any civilians when he knew (and it was obvious) that this was false.
-John Brennan helped get the Russia collusion hoax off the ground, and lied that it was "well-founded" and based on real evidence.
-John Brennan lied that the Hunter Biden laptop was fake and was "Russian disinfo."

John Brennan is the exact sort of lifelong Washington D.C. parasite who must be stamped out. He's a dishonest, authoritarian pig who thinks he has the right to lie to the American people at will and either ignore or rig the results of our elections. He belongs in a prison cell.

Less room for error, really, as the barge is moving.

165 Babo Joe @Joe_C_Jenkins
I will name names. Lucy Sun is the DOJ prosecutor who wanted mother of 8 and grandmother of 7 Rachel Powell (@Iamrachelpowell) 8 years behind bars after 3 years on house arrest. Yes, Rachel broke a window, a misdemeanor, after being shot at with rubber bullets and stun grenades, beaten by the police, tear gassed, and pepper sprayed while protesting the 2020 election fraud. She watched Roseann Boylan killed in front of her. Roseann's corpse was repeatedly beaten by a DC cop. Judge Royce Lamberth, in his 80s, who fell asleep at the bench during her trial, erroneously found Rachel guilty of the 1512 charge, saying that Rachel had to be sent to prison in order to protect the country. Rachel had no prior criminal record, is an exemplary mother, and is still languishing in a federal penitentiary in West Virginia, where six male prisoners pretending to be women are also housed. I have visited her several times. The Hazelton penitentiary is a dysfunctional disgrace. She has been waiting for a resentencing hearing since the June 2024 Supreme Court ruling threw out the 1512 charge. It is now November 18th and nothing has been scheduled. Justice better be coming!

185 Jillian Michaels did an interesting four minute video on RFK and vaccines. She starts with the question, "How are vaccines tested for safety?" She looks on the FDA website and finds a vague handwavey statement that rigorous testing is done.

She then does a bit of a deeper dive into the Hep B vaccine, which is required for children in the US. Hep B is a controversial childhood vaccine because you get it by sharing needles and sex. Newborns are obviously not at high risk.

She then goes into the actual safety testing done on the two currently available Hep B vaccines. For one vaccine, 147 kids were given a course of treatment and monitored for five days after each dose. For the other, it was a four day safety review.

Everyone in the group got the vaccine. There is no long term study.

233 Operation Wetback
In 1955, thousands of disoriented people roamed the city’s streets as the sun bore down on them. They had just been dumped there by American immigration officials—snatched from their lives and jobs in the United States and thrown into a city where they didn’t know anyone.

When I was a young, wildly liberal parent, I held off on the vaccines for my babies, then made sure they were well spaced. My babes were fully vaccinated by the time they started school, but I waited, and I spread them out. It later turned out that the guy who linked them to autism was falsifying his data, but I still think it was the right decision.

As elaborated by Latino History and Culture: An Encyclopedia, "Euro-Americans were eager to solidify their power in the region they had just taken from Mexico," and thus began to construct a legal and economic system to develop the Southwest.[2]
...
This is an example of how Mexicans "were nevertheless subject to laws designed to deny them the privileges and status of whiteness, based on their working-class position," complicating how race and citizenship were understood in the region.[8]

"Results: A total of 625,978 abortions for 2021 were
reported to CDC from 48 reporting areas."

Blah, blah, blah,

"... or at ≥21 weeks’ gestation (0.9%)."

You, Perplexity, are not very good at this answering
questions thing. Perhaps you should step back and
become a vending machine controller.

P.S. 0.9% times 625,978 is about fifty-six hundred
humans per year or four-hundred-fifty thousand per
human lifetime in the United States.

P.P.S. Thanks for nothing.

246 The idea that the DOD is hiding breaks my heart.

I was a 23 year old twice LCpl, having had a court-martial, but even though I got fucked, I got promoted merit again and again,and I sat, the ONLY Private servicemember (the proper term for e1-e3) in an inspection review for my "battalion" it's called a group CSSG-1, but it's a battalion, serving under 1st FSSG, during a fsamao (pardon the acronymn, it's been a long time) and as the ONLY non NCO, or SNCO present at the review, I corrected one of the inspectors.

How things work is inspectors ALWAYS find a way to find a "hit" an incomplete performance on part of one of the groups that are being reviewed, especially in the initial inspections, the goal is to keep the people being inspected on their toes so they can be as clean as clean can be. That's a useful tactic for TRAINING, but not for a real Audit, which is what a FSMAO is.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 06:51 AM (XKj0h)

247 One of the inspectors, he was a Gunnery Sgt from another unit tossed out a casual hit even admitting that it was no big deal, but that "hit" landed on me, and I was at the table. I had been through enough bullshit made up out of nowhere (also I was responsible for a lot of the other no hit data that was being reviewed, but only my command and commander knew that.) with my court-martial while still being chronically meritorious promoted, I wasn't gonna sit there and be treated as a sacrifice so that the inspector can find a "hit" to prove he was doing his job.

I can't remember the exact marker he hit me on, I don't know if it was me, I DO know because of his shock at me defending the status of MY unit, we were clean, and MY work, I was fucking sublime

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 06:55 AM (XKj0h)

248 So LCpl (2nd time, and 2nd time Merit) Pinto, when faced with this insult, even though at the time 4 times promoted meritorious Pinto didn't want to take another hit just because because I already lost my career, I wasn't gonna surrender my reputation I said, "Uh, Gunnery Sgt, I understand how you are incorrect, but I need to include some information."

It wasn't me raising my hand, it wasn't me begging permission, it was me, the ONLY private enlisted officer at the table, taking over the table because I wasn't gonna be his bitch because he thought he could get away with it. If I "MIGHT" have been wrong, that could be a discussion, but he said I was wrong, I was NOT.

My Plt Commander, a VERY smart man, at first looked at me as though "What are you doing? You know how this works?" Which is, you take the hit and then you keep doing what you do anyway and then you get praise and the person who bashed you takes the praise. "If it wasn't for me getting on his shit he wouldn't have delivered." that sort of stuff.

FUCK THAT! I spent a month in the brigg because a cuck couldn't control his cock and fucked a barracks betty, and he thought it was me who put

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 07:00 AM (XKj0h)

249 fingerprints on his sons forehead. It wasn't me, I know the story, I was there, and I was memorable, and that fucking guy went out of his way to destroy what I intended to be my career, and he succeeded, even putting me in the fucking brig by recruiting everyone around him, by basically saying he's a cuck. How's that for MARINE CORPS MAN!? My wife cheated on me with this PUNK, but I'm better, lets all conspire to fuck his life.

Anyways, Getting CM'd for disrespect and spending time in the brigg gave me something. a complete lack of fucks.

So I interrupted when they tried to give me and mine a hit that was bullshit, and not just bullshit in a conceptual way, but outright wrong. I interrupted.

My plt comm, wasn't surprised, but he was curious as to what I would do, and I hit the fucker. I'm trying to remember all of it, but I said something like "I think you are using a MMS message from a few months ago that had an incorrect referece to the 4700, but the rule is in the 1410.34F, and the MMS suggestion should have been retracted, and it might have been, but I've been too busy preparing for this, can I borrow your manual Gunnery Sgt?"

That is when my Plt Commander

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 07:06 AM (XKj0h)

250 and Company Commander, and my SNCOIC really gave me a stare, because they knew I was gonna strike that bitches ego. The SNCOIC, Gunny Craig, Great guy, and probably the biggest pric to me of any, because he recognized that I only respect power, was on the edge of laughter.

I didn't have notes, I'm a nobody as far as the SNCO's were concerned, they thought I was a clerk, but I was more, and I said, "Both of them" meaning the 4700 logistics manual, and the MCO 1410.34F which is the uniform code, and I vocalized the entire thing, using his own references in front of the table.

That fucker had to back down and acknowledge "There might be a conflict there LCpl Pinto, thank you for pointing that out."

The look on the faces of everyone who knew me was hillarious, but I KNOW that the look on my face was pure murder. I hated everyone at the table who was operating on the idea that I was a Bird.

a month later I got a NAM in peacetime, when 1 in 17 Marines IN TOTAL get one, that includes all of the still wartime and combat marines having names, I was pure peace, and I was ranked with the MAJORITY of the NAM receivers being wartime vets, because I didn't put up with no shit,

My point.

I never fled from what I was, who I was, what I did, what I didn't do, what I experienced, or lay blame on anyone, I stood tall, accepting it all, and arguing despite.

The idea that the people who used to be the image that I was expected to live up to acting in this way?

It's a DISGRACE! A FUCKING DISGRACE. I should have finished my degree, and said FUCK YOU! I'm gonna be Elon's Janitor instead of giving these piece of shit DOD hacks claim my accomplishments as theirs.

I would rather clean the shit off of Elons second assistant to the insulation inspection's toilet than serve under anyone who DARE treat service as something to be hidden.

I OWN my service, and I loved it with all my heart, the only things I love more are my wife and my child. I loved it more than my parents and my brother.

These fuckers are a DISGRACE.

252 Pride is Accomplishment, not pronouncement. The "respected" institutions are not, the have pissed it all away in a toilet, that elon's second assistant to insulation would never allow them to use.

Since I was AT LEAST 12, when my brother went to war, I wanted to serve my nation in uniform and I thought it was the highest sacrifice worthy of the only reward being pride in what only you know, and I was a Marine (if you hadn't heard) and I LOVED it, I sacrificed so much for it to make others proud not so much me, but still me, and I would have talked it up for 20 of the last 30 years since I enlisted.

In the last I would say 10 I changed my mind. I still take pride in my service, and my brothers and every heterosexual male in my family's service, and I love and admire those who stood despite the horror that has been reeked over all of the services, including My Beloved Corps (and yes we talk like that) I will NOT, even under Trump who loves us, I will NOT recommend service to ANYONE I care about. Even The Corps pissed away it's pride, and I was there as it started to fall fastest, and even all these years later it breaks my heart and makes me want to cry.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at November 20, 2024 07:39 AM (XKj0h)

253 The idea that the hard men for hard times are shitting their pants at . . . .Doing what they are told, makes me Ashamed almost that I ever promoted service as much as I did.

You don't need them to tell you you are an American or a Patriot. Odds are, that over the last 40 years, maybe more, they are the WORST people to support your love of nation. Listen to your parents, your pastor, your friends, and protect your family and community as best you can, but I still, even under Trump, will never recommend service again, and I appologize to everyone who I ever did recommend it too, and I'm sorry I have these stories I'm so proud of, because _I_ am proud of them. Please do not go my path until America as a whole gets it's shit right. They didn't get it right while I was in, and it's FAR worse now.
