The CIA is rebranding itself as the agency of intersectional torturers.
Social media was ablaze yesterday over a CIA recruiting video which you should definitely watch if you haven’t seen it already, because it has to be seen to be believed. The video features a Latina CIA officer proudly describing her ascent to her position in one of the most depraved institutions that has ever existed using a jaw-dropping fountain of social justice buzzwords and appeals to Latin American culture while wearing a t-shirt featuring a girl power symbol and the caption “Mija, you are worth it.”
“I am a woman of color, I am a mom, I am a cisgender millennial who’s been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder,” she says. “I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise. I am a walking declaration. A woman whose inflection does not rise at the end of her sentences suggesting that a question has been asked.”
“I did not sneak into the CIA,” says the officer over inspirational-sounding music, adding, “At 36, I refuse to internalize misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be.”
“Know your worth, command your space. Mija, you are worth it,” the video concludes.
“People in other parts of the world who make even modest efforts to ‘command their space’ often end up murdered by the CIA or its proxies,” someone commented under the video.
It’s honestly one of the most appalling things I’ve ever seen. To see ideas and values that are intended to protect and elevate disempowered members of the human community exploited to promote an immensely powerful government agency notorious for its down-punching assaults on those very populations is horrifying, to put it mildly.
Intersectional Torturers: CIA Trying to Appeal to Millenials and PC Culture to Cover its Lying, Warmongering, Assassinating Ways
This would after all be the same CIA that has inflicted many murderous and catastrophic interventions upon the world in general and Latin America in particular. The same lying, drug-running, warmongering, propagandizing, psychological terrorizing institution whose extensive use of torture has reportedly included “Rape, gang rape, rape using eels, snakes, or hard objects, and rape followed by murder; electric shock (‘the Bell Telephone Hour’) rendered by attaching wires to the genitals or other sensitive parts of the body, like the tongue; the ‘water treatment’; the ‘airplane’ in which the prisoner’s arms were tied behind the back, and the rope looped over a hook on the ceiling, suspending the prisoner in midair, after which he or she was beaten; beatings with rubber hoses and whips; the use of police dogs to maul prisoners.”
So it’s understandable that a video promoting this agency using language intended to uplift women, Latin Americans, and those struggling with mental illness has been met with widespread ridicule and mockery. Of course, it was only a matter of time before this outrage elevated the video to the attention of mainstream conservatives and it was turned into another vapid partisan issue.
“China and Russia are laughing their asses off watching CIA go full woke,” tweeted Donald Trump Jr. “‘Cisgender.’ ‘Intersectional.’ It’s like The Babylon Bee is handling CIA’s comms. If you think about it, wokeness is the kind of twisted PSYOP a spy agency would invent to destroy a country from the inside out.”
Yes Junior, the CIA is trying to destroy the very empire it exists to defend, using “wokeness”. Fucking moron.
“The CIA once had a mission against the Soviets, then Al Qaeda, but it is now a slothful, wasteful bureaucracy, overrun with politically correct slogans and militant mediocrity- as is the whole ‘intelligence community’,” tweeted radio host Buck Sexton.
Yeah the CIA was awesome when it was murdering and torturing Muslims and communists, but now it’s just a wasteful bureaucracy. Putz.

To be clear, here are the things we learned from the CIA’s “I am intersectional” video:
- The CIA has unbelievable audacity.
- There is no value system the CIA won’t exploit.
- The politics of identity are not in and of themselves enough to meaningfully challenge power.
Here are the things we did not learn from the CIA’s “I am intersectional” video:
- Inclusiveness is bad.
- Republicans are smart.
The video is significant because it shows an agency staffed entirely by sociopaths using extremely manipulative language to advance its predatory agendas, not because it vindicates your dopey ideology. It’s so dumb and depressing how everything real gets twisted and bogged down into fake partisan bullshit.
The CIA can use, has used, and will use any ideological position to advance its agendas. That’s what’s so creepy about the video: it’s a high-budget, in-your-face example of how predatory manipulators operate, and it sets off our predation alarms. It’s not because “woke bad”.
Sociopaths don’t use language like normal human beings; normal people use language for connection and communication, while sociopaths use it for manipulation and control. Seeing it laid out openly, with language toyed with in a way that is entirely divorced from human value, is shudder-inducing.
“I am unapologetically me. I want you to be unapologetically you, whoever you are. Whether you work at #CIA, or anywhere else in the world.
Command your space. Mija, you are worth it.”

Still, it is in some sense comforting to know that after all this time, after all that practice, after all that research into the mechanics of the human mind, and even with all its vast resources, the CIA can still make a sloppy propaganda video that is subject to viral disgust. They might be sociopaths, they might have an immense budget supplemented by their own covert drug trafficking programs, but at least the missing empathy centers in their brains sometimes make it difficult for them to understand normal human beings enough to manipulate them effectively.
It’s just so crazy that people still support this warped, perverse institution. It says so much about the power of Hollywood brainwashing, and about the power of denial. People just assume the CIA no longer does the profoundly evil things we know for a fact it has done in the past, and this assumption is based on literally nothing. It’s based on no factual evidence whatsoever. It’s believed because it is comfortable.
You can be sure that when the next revelation comes out about some unfathomably evil thing the CIA did in the past, people will say “Boy I’m sure glad it’s not like that anymore! Today’s CIA is intersectional!”
Inept sociopaths go to prison.
Mediocre sociopaths become cops.
Effective sociopaths become CEOs.
Clever sociopaths join the CIA.

Intersectional Omnicide
Our weapons will be manufactured by corporations
that have pansexual CEOs and Muslim shareholders.
The bombers will be emblazoned with rainbow flags
and flown by empowered women of all colors
who will scream “YAAASSS QUEEN!” as the mushroom clouds arise.
The desert sand will turn to glass in the blasts,
and that glass will become a ceiling,
and that ceiling will be shattered
by a lesbian CIA Director.
People will be vaporized on the spot,
or watch their own bodies fall apart like sandcastles,
but they will never be misgendered.
We will march as equals,
white, black, Asian, indigenous,
and whatever miscellaneous extras we can find
(so long as they’re photogenic enough for Instagram),
arm-in-arm singing “Fight Song” in one voice
beneath a drone-filled sky
to the edge of extinction
where we will leap together
screaming “This is all Susan Sarandon’s fault!”
into the face of the abyss.
It won’t be pretty,
it won’t be wise,
but at least,
for one glorious flash,
we will get to feel like we really tried.

The West is finished. Conquered decades ago by back-door communists.
And soon to die of thirst and fire.
Could you please provide the logic behind that comment?
Exactly how and why are the Communist to blame for something that is the direct consequence of unfettered Capitalism?
people are …… 🙁
“Could you please provide the logic behind that comment?”
Allow me to…
In 1975 the CIA’s CounterIntelligence Staff (CI) chief, James Angleton,
was fired along with the purge of 80% of his CI Staff, cementing the Marxist control
of the CIA, explaining how in 1980 Marxist John Brennan was accepted
into the agency, even though he told his polygraph examiner that he
voted for CPUSA candiate, Gus Hall, for change.
Hence…
How did John Brennan, a self-identified Marxist, not only get into the CIA but in 2013 become Director of Central Intelligence? And why are all West Point cadets Marxists…
West Point graduate (May 2016), 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone, giving the Marxist salute, and showing his cap liner where it’s written, ‘COMMUNISM WILL WIN‘…
Google: spenser rapone communism will win
Notice that Rapone’s comrades are standing around unconcerned with his shocking behavior, not to mention the West Point graduate taking the picture.
Now you know why Rapone is so sure that “COMMUNISM WILL WIN”.
Hence…
The mainstream media and ‘false opposition’ ‘conservative’ media have conspired to not direct the public’s attention to Trump marrying into a Soviet Bloc Marxist family, whose father-in-law – Viktor Knavs – is a Yugoslav communist party member Quisling, and was living in the White House under the protection of the Secret Service, otherwise Viktor and wife would be murdered by Yugoslav expatriates, which is why they had to flee Yugoslavia.
Google: express UK trump father communist
Instead of derailing Trump’s presidential bid by inundating the airwaves and cable lines with Trump marrying into a Soviet Bloc Marxist family, the mainstream media naturally supported their man by spiking the shocking news.
…”unfettered Capitalism?”
You’re just not paying attention, are you! Capitalism requires market based interest rates in order to allow for individual large capital deployments, where the last century we’ve been subjected to price controls on such large capital deployments due to central bank low interest rates.
The cost of capital isn’t based on cost – a tautology – it’s based on (1) the
quantity of capital loaned; and (2) the time it takes to pay back the capital
loaned. The cost of capital – interest – depends on the magnitude
borrowed (and time needed to pay back the loan). If one borrows a
capital outlay of X, the cost of X will be less than a capital outlay of
6X, but if a central bank maintains interest rates at the artificially
low X level, there can be no loans for capital outlays between X and 6X.
By implementing low cost interest rates, central banks have set in
motion ruinous price controls on capital, thereby preventing the
employment of capital.
Capital, an economic good like any other economic good,
isn’t an amorphous quantity that has an intrinsic ‘productivity cost’.
Capital has units – as do candy bars, cars, houses, plots of land, etc. –
hence the cost of 1 unit is less than the cost of >1 units. If the
price for a capital outlay – interest – is below the capital outlay’s
‘productivity cost’, then there can be no deployment of the capital.

Am I alone in realizing that WE, THE PEOPLE are responsible for all of this? WE, THE OVER CONSUMERS…WE THE CELL PHONE ADDICTS, WE THE SMOKERS, WE THE ALCAHOLICS…WE THE EATERS OF FOOD-THAT-IS-NOT-F00D, WE, THE WATCHERS OF PORN, WE THE LOVERS OF PLEASURE AND CONVENIENCE.
And WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE GREAT WHORE, will all reap our just rewards. Quit whining and change your life for good.
I hear you, Ignorance can be bliss, except for those “blinded” by the “program” behind their eyes who can not see what is in front of their eyes….What can you expect from a “Culture” of total dependence!!!
Disaster is roaring down on you from the desert,
like a whirlwind sweeping in from the Negev.
2 I see a terrifying vision:
I see the betrayer betraying,
the destroyer destroying.
Go ahead, you Elamites and Medes,
attack and lay siege.
I will make an end
to all the groaning Babylon caused.
3 My stomach aches and burns with pain.
Sharp pangs of anguish are upon me,
like those of a woman in labor.
I grow faint when I hear what God is planning;
I am too afraid to look.
The reason they did that is they are so buried in their isolated bizarre world, they don’t realize how creepy it is.

Disgusting…
“the politics of identity are not meaningful enough to challenge power.”
Maybe the politics of identity were never intended to challenge power. Put aside the idea of identity politics “challenging power” and ask instead why are the powerful employing the language of identity politics? Governments at every level from the president down to the local school boards, the military, the CIA, giant transnational corporate entities … they are all speaking loud and clearly with the language of identity politics.
It seems like these powerful institutions and organizations have recognized the scope and capacity of identity politics to strengthen their hold on power.
So in this case, at least, yes “woke” is bad.

That goes to show you that the CIA hires insane people. Scary as hell. Insane, psychopaths have the power to veto your rights. What does that tell you. Insane people have secret clearances. wow. Now do you believe me that the constitutional republic no longer exists?
