[X] An internal FBI inclusivity "Guide," obtained by our team, counseled agents on "Ways to Manage Your Unconscious Bias," "Micro-Inequities" and "How to Improve Your Inclusive Intelligence."
"The New IQ: Your Guide to Sustaining Inclusive Habits in the Workplace" was shared in mid-2020 and includes nine "tips" to counter unconscious bias.
Separately, as part of our investigation, recently retired FBI agents said they saw, firsthand, how law enforcement capabilities were compromised because merit took a backseat to DEI priorities.
They dubbed the legendary FBI Quantico Training Academy the "Participation Academy" because of headquarters’ pressure to "push through" poorly performing candidates to meet DEI objectives.
The retired agents said FBI Director Patel inherits a workforce where standards dropped impacting physical fitness of agents, their firearms skills as well as professional qualifications, putting the FBI mission and safety at risk.
DEEP DIVE
More than a half dozen recently retired FBI agents agreed to speak with me on a confidential basis.
They said they feared retaliation for describing their experiences with the FBI’s DEI initiatives. While fiercely loyal to the bureau, they said they felt compelled to come forward, citing a dangerous reduction in standards.
The group of retired agents was diverse. It included male, female, Asian, Black and White agents from field offices in different parts of the country.
Their work experience covered multiple facets of the recruitment and training process. Everyone we spoke with offered a first hand account of DEI’s impact.
The retired agents told me they valued diversity because it could strengthen the FBI mission but in recent years FBI leadership took the attitude the bureau was "too White."
We were told that the physical fitness performance of candidates declined. The requirements include timed sit-ups (1 minute), timed 300-m sprint, untimed push-up maximum and timed 1.5-mile run.
The retired agents described recruits who had an ’attitude problem.’ The recruits would quit the long distance run or claim injuries if they thought they would not pass a requirement. The number of successfully completed push ups was routinely low because many recruits didn’t
have the skill or strength to follow the required protocol (i.e bad form, not low enough.)
What we learned about firearms training was also concerning. We were told some recruits lacked the "mental toughness" to competently handle weapons. Other candidates had documented mental health issues. While their performance was poor, there was a "push them through Quantico attitude."
The backbone of FBI investigations is a witness interview summary known as a "302." In some cases, new agents lacked basic writing skills to complete a 302, in part, because work experience requirements had been relaxed. Once poor performing recruits were "pushed through Quantico," the hope was that FBI Field Offices would fix them.
These retired FBI agents are solution oriented and respectfully asked if Director Patel would be willing to meet with them because they understand where the change needs to happen internally.
Describing how "woke broke the FBI," one of the agents shared the wrenching personal decision to discourage their child from following in their professional footsteps.
In response to our questions, FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said, "Director Patel’s new FBI will be an entirely mission focused institution — working every day to get criminals off our streets, keep the American people safe, and let good agents be good agents. We are aggressively working to abide by any Presidential directive to root out politically motivated, social engineering projects — they have zero home here and never will as long as Director Patel is at the helm."

Is drinking a lot a way to deal with unconscious bias or just a way to become unconscious?

Part III in the series on the Modified Limited Hangouts re: the modern Aktion T4 by the American and other mainstream press organizations and politicians... Oh, and... this link might work.
By Zeynep Tufekci
If they want to play around with genes they should start with the gene's 3DC has been wanting modified with standard available mods for generating firefly glow flashes and some of the MIT logic genes to make Christmas trees naturally flash around solstice. That would remove the dangerous activity of outside tree decoration. Not stuff that puts the lives of billions in check. Hell if it goes bad you can always turn the trees into 2x4s.
Since scientists first began playing around with dangerous pathogens in laboratories, the world has experienced four or five pandemics, depending on how you count. One of them, the 1977 Russian flu, was almost certainly sparked by a research mishap. Some Western scientists quickly suspected the odd virus had resided in a lab freezer for a couple of decades, but they kept mostly quiet for fear of ruffling feathers.
Yet in 2020, when people started speculating that a laboratory accident might have been the spark that started the Covid-19 pandemic, they were treated like kooks and cranks. Many public health officials and prominent scientists dismissed the idea as a conspiracy theory, insisting that the virus had emerged from animals in a seafood market in Wuhan, China. And when a nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance lost a grant because it was planning to conduct risky research into bat viruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology — research that, if conducted with lax safety standards, could have resulted in a dangerous pathogen leaking out into the world — no fewer than 77 Nobel laureates and 31 scientific societies lined up to defend the organization.
So, the Wuhan research was totally safe and the pandemic was definitely caused by natural transmission: It certainly seemed like consensus.
We have since learned, however, that to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled at least one reporter, orchestrated campaigns of supposedly independent voices and even compared notes about how to hide their communications in order to keep the public from hearing the whole story. And as for that Wuhan laboratory’s research, the details that have since emerged show that safety precautions may have been terrifyingly lax.
Five years after the onset of the Covid pandemic, it’s tempting to think of all that as ancient history. We learned our lesson about lab safety — and about the need to be straight with the public — and now we can move on to new crises, like measles or the evolving bird flu, right?
Wrong. If anyone needs convincing that the next pandemic is only an accident away, check out a recent paper in Cell, a prestigious scientific journal. Researchers, many of whom work or have worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (yes, the same institution), describe taking samples of viruses found in bats (yes, the same animal) and experimenting to see if they could infect human cells and pose a pandemic risk.... They aren't looking at the Defuse proposal or the similar evidence from Alina Chan's _Viral_ yet. Which means this is Yet Another Modified Limited Hangout, and they're not interested in following the breadcrumbs to all the other lies. Damn.

Uh, I think I might have mangled a closing bracket for a span statement right after "this link might work."
I replaced the cut-off headline with the original NYT headline. If you originally had written something else more clever, please post it in a comment below, and I’ll fix that, too. From my moderator notes, here is Fred’s explanation about that:
A quote (") in an article's headline will chop the text there. If a headline begins with a quote, no headline. Quotes are used in the code, which tries to execute what follows.
Workarounds: Use single quotes or two single quotes to make a double ('').
Other workarounds: Backslash quote (\ ". without the space.)
& lquo; and & rquo; (no spaces)
< q> and < /q> (no spaces)
So now you (and whoever else is reading this comment thread) understand why that happened and what to do, no doubt considerably better than I do. Thank you, Fred, for explaining that to me back in 2019! :-)

The Covid-19 virus release, cost the US Economy an estimated $16 trillion.
Given, the CCP only holds about $1 Trillion of the USA Debt. Cancel that debt as part payment. Then except Hong Kong and a few other outlaying areas to cover the rest of the debt.

The genome of the covid virus was discovered by Indonesians and exposed early in the pandemic. Articles describing the discovery were posted on this site.

Dr. Leanna Wen (CNN/WaPo) same thing. She was a shutdown nazi who said people who didn't obey should be jailed

Reality is moving at Trump speed. The NYT needs to get its readers mostly caught up so they don’t look ignorant at cocktail party discussions about the new investigations.
It's that OODA Loop thingie. Trump is generating events faster than the opposition can react to them. The Usual Suspects are busy whinging on CNN while Trump is already two outrages ahead of them.

A supposedly investigative reporting media saying "Ooopsie Doopsie we just printed what we were told, totes sorry but we are right anyways so nah nah nah." is not a good look.

This work started in Ralph Baric's lab in North Carolina in 2015, with input from SHI Sheng-li (Wuhan) and was continued in Wuhan (with funding through Daszak) after gain-of-function work was shut down (temporarily) in the US.

By now, there is little reason to trust the "Epstein files" are either complete or accurate. Feds have had years to create a bogus file for public consumption.
#7
I would rather see indictments than files. Indictments would take more time. If the evidence has been tampered with, I would like to see indictments on who did the tampering. It seems as if all the conclusive evidence is probably removed, but folks that are in to children don’t stop their crimes. The list ought to be the beginning of the investigation.

[NYPOST] Far-left congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has questioned whether the US will be holding a presidential election in four years, doubling down on her previously stated crackpot narrative that President Trump is a dictator bent on undoing democratic norms.
Crockett made the remark on Sunday morning's ''State of the Union'' program on CNN, hosted by left-leaning anchor Jake Tapper, who asked her whether fellow lefty Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should mount a 2028 primary challenge against embattled Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

[IsraelNationalNews] Justice Minister Yariv Levin on Sunday evening called to ignore Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's demand to stop the dismissal of Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) chief Ronen Bar.
"The Shin Bet law explicitly states that the government is authorized to terminate the tenure of the agency's head before the end of their term. This law should be familiar to the Attorney General as well. In case anyone is confused, Israel is a democracy, and everyone in it, including the Attorney General, is subject to the law," said Levin.
"We must not succumb to threats or attempts to strip the government of its authority. The surrender to violence and refusal in March 2023 is what brought us to the current state of lack of governance. Now is a moment of truth for all of us. It is time for a democratic Israel where decisions are made by the public's elected representatives and not by self-elevated jurists," Levin added.
His comments came after Baharav-Miara wrote a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which she criticized his announcement that he would act to dismiss Bar. Good example (Orange Man) is infectious?
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to move ahead with the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar after leaving Washington in early February, inspired by the moves US President Donald Trump took “against the deep state” and his appointment of loyalists to key posts, the Axios news site reports, citing aides to the premier.
