What does DEI stand for now? This one Trump is promoting. By Hal M. Brown

 

Trump might as well add people with disabilities to his list of people like those I depicted above who don't have the rights of "real" citizens and don't belong here in his America.
Sorry guys, the FAA won't hire you.

In case you doubt me when I say Trump dosen't have any empathy for people with disabilities here's a reminder. The man revels in cruelty and has no capacity for empathy.

Trump wouldn't president today if he didn't have two campaign issues. One was being anti-woke and the other was in his demonization of immigrants. He used forced sex change operations of children and men playing in women's sports as examples of how woke was destroying the country. He said immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country, called them animals and not human. He said they were rapists and eating pet dogs and cats.

Trump has his minions currying favor by disinfecting (as they see it) websites and walls by removing anything having to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion no matter how remotely.
At the FBI Academy 

If someone attended a seminar on diversity they risk losing their job. People hired under DEI are being fired as their colleagues, who I liken to concentration camp kapos, turn them in.


Trump has his oh so pleased posturing psychopaths Tom Homan and Dr. Phil all over TV as they oversee the roundups of immigrants. 

Trump wants to make every person who can meet the criteria for being a DEI hire as not worthy of being an full-fledged American. They are, in effect, in the same category as immigrants. They are not welcome as full citizens in Trumpland.  He gave us a partial list of the unwelcome in talking about the plane crash. 

Read: Trump suggests 'dwarves, amputees and epileptics' are 'DEI hires' and not qualified for Air Traffic Control positions.

Excerpt:

Trump highlighted a series of articles covering the FAA’s "diversity push," saying they were actively recruiting workers who “suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions.”

Trump included examples of some of the disabilities and conditions that are listed on the FAA’s website, including individuals missing extremities, paralysis, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism, among others.

He said: "'The FAA website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualified for the position of a controller of air planes pouring into our country, pouring into a little spot. A little dot on the map. A runway."

If you're woke, you are by definition anti-Trump. For the sake of my new DEI abbreviation I'll say that since we know Trump would like to deport you, or worse,  I'll call you an immigrant. 

What does my new DEI stand for?

It stands for Destroy Every Immigrant.

It isn't just these people. It is you, it is me, it is everyone Kash Patel has identified as an enemy of the state. It is not merely anyone who went against Trump. It is everyone who doesn't support him.

We are all immigrants.

We are on the enemy's list. He wants to destroy us.

Another Chapter In The Annals of Irony:

Unless we are a Native American, we are all either descendants of immigrants or immigrated ourselves. Trump is the former and his wife is the latter.

Want to join the MAGA Mafia or Amercian Gestapo? Make your bones by turning in your DEI neighbor or colleague. By Hal M.Brown

 

Frank Figluizzi,who served as assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, posted a photo of someone painting a wall at the FBI Academy on BlueSky (here) which lists operativenss, fairness, compassion, integrity, initative, respect, and stability as some of the core values of the agency. It also lists diversity.

The photo was published in The Washington Post article 

Several senior FBI leaders told to leave agency or be fired, people familiar with matter say: 

The ultimatum was unusual for the FBI and suggested that President Donald Trump is purging leadership at an agency he has harshly criticized.

If you don't have a subsription to the Post you can read a summary of the article on RawStory.



This coincides with news that senior FBI agents are being fired across the country.


What I wondered about was just who decided this wall was offensive because it had one word, diversity, on it which would offend Kash Patel when he saw it. I think the bottom word is Constitution which would also be unacceptable to the likes of Patel and Trump.

It occurred to me that somebody with authority thought that they could curry favor with Kash Pateland Trump if they took credit for getting rid of it. I thought this was like a foot soldier in the Mafia making their bones by carrying out a hit for the capos. I bet they have a smile on their face today and are waiting for their reward.

I thought this was akin to ordinary Germans, an adult or a child, reporting a Jewish family they knew of to the Gestapo. Germans proved how loyal they were by being accessories to murder. I have no doubt that they were rewarded when they informed on Jews. In Holland citizens were paid a bounty for informing on Jews.

No Americans will be sent to a concentration camp and die in a gas chamber, starved, or worked to death because of the quest to root out DEI from the government. They won't exactly be like those who were called "willing executioners" in Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, the 1996 book by American writer Daniel Goldhagen. Not exactly, but how many of them would have been like Hitler's willing executioners?

People are being incentivized to report those they think are DEI hires. In this effort to purge the federal government of all DEI hires, people will loss their jobs, their lives will be disrupted, they and their families will suffer.

As a result of proving their loyalty and zeal, lower members of the MAGA mafia move up to positions of having more power. 

I made screen grabs of parts of the Mission Page on the FBI website because it has the word diversity on it, and also includes on the very top upholding the Constitution and, under priories, protection of civil rights.



Diversity is on the bottom of the list of core values. How long it will take before it is sucked into the black hole of Trump's lsy for revenge remains to be seen. I'll keep up on this and let readers know.

Something else that may disappear from an FBI website is on the FBI Selection page. Below is a list of the disqualifiers. Note what is listed at number three.

Having knowingly or willfully engaged in acts designed to overthrow the U.S. goverment would disqualify anyone who was part of J6. There's nothing there about them having been pardoned. I wonder if this will be dropped as a disqualifier and J6 insurrentionists will end up as FBI agents.

This could mean that Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes might become an FBI agent as long as his disability, having lost an eye, wouldn't make him a DEI hire.


He could end up as a member of the FBI SWAT team.

The FBI under Kash Patel will become a modern day Gestapo as it tracks down members of "the deep state." 


Instead of the small caliber Walther PPK (above) the Gestapo carried, they carry  full-size Glock 17 and compact Glock 19 pistols in 9mm. Regular agents can be backed up by FBI SWAT teams with assault rifles when they make arrests. Wait for the photo ops.


I bet Kash Patel can't wait to have an FBI badge and a Glock on his belt as he struts into the FBI building (which I doubt will be turned into a museum) with his protection detail.

Addendum:

Here are some of the replies to Frank Figluzzi's BlueSky post (click to enlarge them):
