Good News: Pentagram BLACK-Hearted BLACK Operations’ BLACKguards…

… Won’t be allowed to BLACKmail or torture in BLACK sites anymore!

Yay.

Well, um… At least they’ll call it something else (using “Enhanced interrogation techniques” in “Extraordinary rendition“).

Using the word “black” is racist, don’t you know? So now the word is BLACKLISTED (er, um, “Listed”?)!

Inspired by the news.

The term ‘blacklisted’ is racist, US warns its spies

Intelligence community newsletter offers advice on ‘linguistic diversity’ and advice from a crossdressing spook

US spies, including members of the CIA, have been told the term “blacklisted” is racist in an internal diversity newsletter which also offered advice from a crossdresser.

The guidance has been included in The Dive, a newsletter circulated by the intelligence community’s diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility office.

According to Fox News Digital, which has analysed the document, it is packed with diversity guidance aimed at improving the accuracy of language used by the intelligence community.

One of the articles, discussing linguistic diversity, has urged officials to refrain from using the term “blacklisted”.

This is because it implies “black is bad and white is good”. The term “sanity check” is discouraged because it is disparaging towards people with mental illness.

“Cakewalk” and “grandfathered” are also no longer regarded as acceptable because of their association with slavery.

In another article, an anonymous intelligence officer writes that his crossdressing habit has made him more effective in his role.

“I am an intelligence officer, and I am a man who likes to wear women’s clothes sometimes,” the author wrote. “I think my experiences as someone who crossdresses have sharpened the skills I use as an intelligence officer, particularly critical thinking and perspective-taking.

“It is challenging for some people to understand crossdressing, and non-binary or genderfluid people because gender is a part of overall identity,” he added. “Many of us think of our identities as fixed, and some find this approach to gender threatening to their own identity.”

Crossdressing also enabled him to better understand his female and LGBT colleagues, he said.

In another section of the newsletter, an intelligence officer warned that previous training had conflated Islam with terrorism and cautioned that the language alienated spies’ Muslim-American colleagues.

Hostile reception

The guidance received a hostile reception from Republicans and on social media, with one user dismissing the Biden administration as a “clown show” and another questioning how this helped intelligence gathering.

Jeremy Hunt, a former Army intel officer and the chairman of the national security-focused group Veterans On Duty, was scathing.

“Rather than our primary focus being on protecting the homeland, these absurd attempts to police the language of intelligence assessments to make them politically correct will undoubtedly result in lower quality, imprecise and confusing intelligence reports that leave lawmakers and decision makers less informed and unable to make reasoned judgments,” he told Fox News.

Arkansas Republican senator Tom Cotton, and a member of the Armed Services Committee, described the guidance as concerning.

“Intelligence officers should spend their time finding terrorists, not worrying about whether they will offend them,” he said in a statement.

However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was unrepentant about the guidance, which was aimed at bolstering its efforts to  “build a diverse and inclusive workforce”.

Diversity and inclusion have been at the forefront of the culture wars sweeping the US.

A raft of Republican-led states have brought in laws to curb the initiatives including withholding grants from universities and colleges until they drop the initiatives from their curriculum and admissions policies.

Here, Watch Me Lose an Argument VERY BADLY!

I learned something new, and if you read until the end, you will too.

Eruvin 53b:

אמר רבי יהושע בן חנניה מימי לא נצחני אדם חוץ מאשה תינוק ותינוקת… אשריכם ישראל שכולכם חכמים גדולים אתם מגדולכם ועד קטנכם.

Here goes:

First I published an article by Chananya Weissman here: The War Is Not Against Hamas. It’s Against the Jews!

A female subscriber wrote in response:

This article by weissman is HUGE חילול השם

The fact that you print it makes you just as bad as him.
Hyehudi Editor responds:
This is not the first time.
If you care to elaborate perhaps we can have a constructive dialogue.
And I might post your critique (with or without a name, if you please).
And Hyehudi Editor (again):
This is true not only of Israel. Here is what I wrote 5 years ago:
Israel and the ‘Palestinians’ Are FAKE Enemies
The reader:
I just read the article you sent me and you are so far off from the truth.
How can you write this?
What the Israelis are busy prosecuting is a war against the Jews. The bogeymen are poor proxies.
Are Jews alive on this earth to kill other Jews?  Not at all. However, that’s what the arabs are here for.
Watch this.
Hyehudi Editor responds:
 
Not sure what you mean.
As for the video, please note it will take me a while to listen due to my filter.
And Hyehudi Editor again (after listening to the recording):
Proves my point.
Look how “our” state does everything possible to turn them into enemies, from creating Hamas, funding it in several ways, channeling funds to it, and giving them weapons, to giving them “dual purpose” goods the better to kill Jews with.
He speaks of incitement, etc. Well, who allowed Aza to become this way in the first place?
He says there are no innocents. Would you say that reflects official Israeli policy? Ha.
On the contrary, the rhetoric of the regime ostensibly representing the Jewish people encourages the enemy of their own justice.

Had I wanted to echo fashionable Hasbara I wouldn’t have created the site…
Well, I didn’t hear back, so I wrote this:
Care to respond before I post this exchange?

 

And… Intermission. Checkmate in one move!

 

Should I give you the lady’s response now, or do you all want to guess first?

 

Ok, I’ll wait…

 

Ready? OK. Now watch closely.

 

The reader:

 

I do not have time to respond unfortunately.  I have one son in aza (so his wife needs help).  Then there are 2 sons in law, 2 daughters, with 5 grandchildren.  One is on his way to aza and one is going back up north.  The daughter of the one going up North is due next Tuesday and I am going in for operation next week.  So all in a days work למען המדינה וארץ קדשנו   Thanks for the offer though
בעזרת השם נעשה ונצליח

 

Can you send me what you post?

 

Thanks again

 

The End.

 

Victory (but not mine).

 

So, now I look like a callous kid (at best), while she is the one with Soul in the game, with Skin in the game. There is absolutely nothing I can say (on\off topic) to get me out of this. At this point, saying anything more can only make things worse (akin to the Gra here).

 

Related story: Upon Dr. Yeshayahu Leibowitz saying “Rachel Imeinu” wasn’t technically “our” mother, since most of us aren’t from the tribes of Yosef and Binyamin (He’s wrong by the way, see Rashi Ruth 4:11), he got unanswerable letters, sidestepping the logic, and basically yelling “THAT’S MY MOTHER YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!”

 

I give up.
