The CIA is focusing intensely on DEI, and they hope to allow this focus to withstand future administration changes.
From Just the News. A newly revised Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI) strategy for the Central Intelligence Agency promises to put diversity at the center of promotion decisions and attempt to solidify programs to withstand changing administrations, according to internal documents and a public presentation by senior agency diversity official.
Help support IFA monthly by becoming an MMP.
“We see it as the core of our mission,” CIA’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Jerry Laurienti, said of DEI in a presentation earlier this year. He delivered his remarks to the biannual business meeting of the Defense Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion (DACODAI) in May.
Fred Fleitz, a former CIA agent and national security official in the Trump Administration, told Just the News that DEI initiatives are “dug in quite deep” at the agency and warns they are detrimental to the execution of the mission. …
Laurienti described the presentation as showing how DEI is used as a key filter for candidates for promotion to leadership positions within the intelligence agency and that DEI training is integrated at all levels of leadership, according to the recording of his presentation, meeting minutes, and a CIA slide deck reviewed by Just the News.
The recording of the live presentation was posted to video streaming site Rumble. The content matches with published CIA documents and the meeting minutes from the presentation. …
Performance, corporate mindset, and DEI
The promotion panel assesses each candidate under three criteria, Laurienti said: mission performance, corporate mindset, and DEI.
“And on that third one, they have to show uh, not just that they have been contributing corporately, but rather the impact of their efforts on DEIA,” he said.
According to Laurienti, this means that “they’re creating an equitable inclusive environment within their teams for mission performance all day every day.” …
He also confirmed that DEI has impacted promotions at the agency. “I can tell you in the last two years of panels, we’ve lifted people up and we’ve pushed people down based on those meetings.”
The CIA workforce also has an eye towards making the DEI programs permanent regardless of which administration occupies the White House.
On one slide from Laurienti’s presentation lists conclusions his office drew from workforce feedback about the agency’s DEI programs. One conclusion is that the workforce wants to see programs that endure despite changes in leadership at the White House, even though the President directly controls all executive branch agencies under the Constitution. …
Diverting resources to DEI initiatives
The goals also outline that the CIA should work to “reduce barriers that may impact hiring, promotion, and/or advancement opportunities for individuals from underrepresented groups.” …
Fleitz warns that America’s “mortal enemies” are happy to see the agency diverting resources to DEI initiatives rather than its premier intelligence capabilities, which he says are suffering. …

How does one become an election chaplain or poll chaplain?
Delighted with the report of John Durham who shed light on the actions of the enemy within. His work and that of his team Is evidence of the courage, and responsibility, not to mention old fashioned Patriotism, which is critical at this time and long overdue. May it be the beginning of more.
DEI is a setup for the governments that is set on an agenda that has nothing to do with skill. It has caused terrible consequences for so many areas of our government, especially the military , but also in many other critical areas. Praying for sanity to be returned with new election results.
What does DEI boil down to?
“Marxism, in America, has been rebranded as ‘social justice’ and political correctness………… We can even add the words ‘diversity’ and ‘equality’.
God does not dispense blessings and favor equally……… Jesus had 12 disciples but gave special privileges to 3 of them. ………Certain kinds of inequality are built into the nature of the world and human nature.
What the Bible does teach is equal responsibility based on the gifts and talents we are given. Luke 12:48. James 3:1. 1 Corinthians 4:7.
Matthew 25:15. Jesus told parable in which a man went on a journey and entrusted his property to 3 different stewards…….Well done for two. Not so for the third.
“Men differ in strengths, intelligence, ambition, courage, perseverance, and all else that makes for success. There is no method to make men both free and equal. “ Jude Dougherty.
“As we will see, we as Christians have a responsibility to fight for laws that are just and to help those who are oppressed. But we should not expect the state to impose an artificial equality that, of necessity, stifles our freedoms. Nor should we advocate the many different kinds of forced equality secularism is demanding.”
Martin Luther King wrote, “How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in terms of St. Thomas of Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.”
Bonhoeffer was right when he said that to be silent is to speak.
All above is taken in whole or in part from Erwin Lutzer, We Will Not Be Silenced.” Responding courageously to our Culture’s Assault on Christianity.

In addition, if you haven’t watched “Ex-Obama Operative Speaks Out” – it truly is a must..
If the program eliminates the unconscious bias that many minorities face then it is good. You don’t want an organization which just prefers ‘white aggressive males’, but one that reflects the community. We have come from convict colonies, slavery, segregation, discrimination, lynching, conspiracies ‘people eating your cats and dogs’, et al, don’t go back.
Father, I pray you would foil their attempts to promote DEI. May they have godly leadership and a desire for good employees, based on merit and not on skin color or sexual preference. Close out DEI in our country. May we see each others as humans and not skin color and sex. We praise your name that much of this is being brought down. Heal us as a nation to your glory that we may once more take the gospel to nations.
Father God help the CIA become more security focus in selecting individuals. Your will be done Father for the safety of the American people. In Jesus’ name.
