Official in the Biden-Harris Department of Energy Calls for "the Queering of Nuclear Weapons" Because They're Very Serious About American Security

Bringing joy to mutual assured destruction.

A fresh hire within President Biden's Department of Energy previously wrote an op-ed about "queering nuclear weapons" -- in which she argued that "queer theory" was crucial to US nuclear policy.

Sneha Nair co-authored the article just months before she was hired in February as a special assistant at the DOE's nuclear security wing, the National Nuclear Security Administration, noted Fox News, which first reported on it.

In the wide-ranging piece, Nair argued that queer theory could "help change how nuclear practitioners, experts, and the public think about nuclear weapons" as she touched on the sprawling diversity, equity and inclusion ideology.

The article -- titled "Queering nuclear weapons: How LGBTQ+ inclusion strengthens security and reshapes disarmament" -- also laid bare her belief that discrimination against queer people could "undermine nuclear security and increase nuclear threat."

It's like the worst game of Mad Libs ever where the only rule in the game is to connect everything to gays and conclude that gays are the most special creatures ever created.

"It's about people. Equity and inclusion for queer people is not just a box-ticking exercise in ethics and social justice; it is also essential for creating effective nuclear policy," she wrote in the piece published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Nair -- a graduate of Prince William's alma mater, St. Andrews University -- argued that queer theory, which she defined as a look at "sex and gender-based norms," identified how nuclear weapons conversations were gendered.

"Nuclear deterrence is associated with 'rationality' and 'security,' while disarmament and justice for nuclear weapon victims are coded as 'emotion' and a lack of understanding of the 'real' mechanics of security," she wrote.

The article went on to say that the theory prioritizes the rights of people over "the abstract idea of national security -- and challenges the understanding of nuclear weapons.

"The queer lens prioritizes the rights and well-being of people over the abstract idea of national security, and it challenges the mainstream understanding of nuclear weapons -- questioning whether they truly deter nuclear war, stabilize geopolitics, and reduce the likelihood of conventional war," she wrote.

"Queer theory asks: Who created these ideas? How are they being upheld? Whose interests do they serve? And whose experiences are being excluded?"

Nair penned the piece while working as a nuclear research expert at the Stimson Center, a think tank based in Washington, DC. Her co-author, Louis Reitmann, was a research associate at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation.

The authors of this very important paper:

We need bullies to do their fucking jobs again.

She thinks that DEI can help defend us from a nuclear attack.

You won't be surprised that she wants more foreigners with ties to terrorist countries hired to work in America's nuclear weapons agencies.

And that she wants our security services to re-direct their attention to... white supremacists.

So let jihadists spies into NORAD, but give every white worker 24 hour NSA surveillance.

Biden-Harris official says people with foreign connections should be given access to America's deep nuclear secrets as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion agenda.

Nair explicitly says that bolstering DEI is a national security matter. "DEI principles and advancement must be considered crucial assets for strengthening nuclear security implementation," Nair added.

Nair's DEI agenda envisions expanding America's deep secrets to people with foreign connections, claiming those individuals were discouraged from applying as an issue of race bias.

She said, "U.S. government reports show that qualified applicants with foreign ties have been discouraged from applying to sensitive national security positions and faced barriers to obtaining a security clearance. This is in part due to preconceived confirmation biases held by investigators about certain racial or ethnic groups."

"Considerable progress has been made in advancing DEI in the nuclear field, but the largest obstacle remains in ensuring that nuclear security practitioners understand how DEI can serve as a tool to strengthen nuclear security," she said in the article. "Greater focus on the intersections between nuclear security and DEI is essential."

Regarding race bias, Nair believes that White staff at nuclear facilities don't have the ability to properly evaluate threats from people of the same racial group, notably radical White supremacists.

"Diversifying the perspectives included in nuclear security decision-making can expand the definition of who or what constitutes a 'threat' for nuclear security," she said. "The notion of 'threat' and 'security' are defined by the dominant culture, which inherently sidelines how marginalized groups ... perceive 'threats.'"

Dominant culture is an academic concept about power which refers to how the U.S. has traditionally been shaped by White people.

"An example of this is the threat posed by some White supremacist groups to nuclear facilities may go undetected if a White-majority workforce does not perceive these ideological leanings as indicators of a relevant nuclear security threat," she claimed.

"[I]ntegrating DEI into nuclear security culture can help reimagine how each state's nuclear security regime understands 'threat' to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the security risks facing a facility," she concluded.

She sounds like a foreign spy herself -- opening the doors for other, more competent foreign spies.

If these people aren't doing real work -- and they're not -- then they have no business being paid by the taxpayer. The government is not supposed to exist merely to give fake jobs to useless Marxists who cannot secure work anywhere else.
