Steve Sailer on Unz: “CIA Convulsed by Possibly Fake Noose”

The C.I.A. director, William J. Burns, issued a warning to the agency’s work force last week after what appeared to be a noose was found outside a secret facility used by the agency in Virginia, according to people familiar with the matter.

In the message, Mr. Burns said that racism and racist symbols would not be tolerated in the agency.

Questions surround the incident. The object was found near a small agency facility located in a building that houses businesses and other organizations. Some people briefed on the incident said it was not entirely clear that the object was even meant to be a noose, or if whoever placed it there knew that the C.I.A. secretly operated in the building.

…

The C.I.A. does not currently have evidence suggesting that an agency employee left the item, or that a foreign intelligence service was involved, according to some of those people briefed on the incident.

Still, the object was disturbing enough that an agency official reported it, prompting the investigation and Mr. Burns’s note.

…

The C.I.A. has been working to diversify in recent years. During the Obama administration, John O. Brennan, then the director, made public a company diversity report and stepped-up recruiting at historically Black colleges and universities. Gina Haspel, the director during the Trump administration, started an advertising campaign meant to help diversify the agency.

…

Darrell Blocker, a former senior C.I.A. official who worked at the agency for nearly 30 years, commended the agency’s recent diversity efforts. Nevertheless, as with anywhere else, racism can be found at the agency, he said.

“The C.I.A. is a microcosm of the populace from which it draws its work force, so it should not surprise anyone who understands the deep-seated racism that has permeated all institutions throughout our history,” said Mr. Blocker, who is Black.

Mr. Blocker praised the C.I.A. officer who reported seeing the noose, saying it was vital for employees to report possible racial incidents so they can be investigated and addressed.
