Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was irate and promised to root out National Security Administration agents who held lurid sex chats in sensitive government chat rooms in the name of DEI.
The revelations of chats about ‘polyamory and castration’ came as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk‘s DOGE continue their effort to purge the federal government of woke gender ideology.
A report by journalists Christopher Rufo and Hannah Goodman claimed that NSA agents engaged in wild chats on the NSA’s Intelink messaging program ‘featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.’
These chats, according to Rufo and Goodman, were ‘legitimized as part of the NSA’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.’
They quote agents who have claimed to have undergone feminizing gender affirming surgeries or gender reassignment surgery, including one who called their artificial genitals ‘everything.’
Others casually referred to how much they enjoyed having sex upon having the surgery in their work chat, saying ‘I’ve found that I like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.’
Another bragged that having the surgery allowed them ‘to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.’
Others discussed laser hair removal, with one saying: ‘[G]etting my b***hole zapped by a laser was . . . shocking.’
‘This behavior is unacceptable and those involved WILL be held accountable. These disgusting chat groups were immediately shut down when @POTUS issued his EO ending the DEI insanity the Biden Admin was obsessed with. Our IC must be focused on our core mission: ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people,’ she wrote.
Elon Musk also had a crack at the news and referenced his email asking workers to explain their duties each week: ‘Well… at least we know what they did last week.’
Ironically, Gabbard is one of the many agency heads who have told employees to ignore Musk’s requests.
An NSA spokesperson told Rufo that the chats were real and that they’re ‘taking actions against any and all employees who abused this system.’
Russia’s Putin outlines potential aluminium, rare earth deals with the US
U.S. President Donald Trump earlier said that “major economic development transactions with Russia” would take place. Within two hours of Trump’s statement, Putin chaired a meeting with his ministers and economic advisers on rare earth metals.
“We, by the way, would be ready to offer (joint projects with) our American partners, and when I say ‘partners,’ I mean not only administrative and governmental structures but also companies, if they showed interest in joint work,” Putin said on state TV after the meeting.
“We undoubtedly have, I want to emphasize, significantly more resources of this kind than Ukraine,” Putin added. He mentioned that a potential U.S.-Ukraine deal, opens new tab involving rare earth metals was not a concern for Russia.
Russia has the world’s fifth-largest reserves of rare earth metals, according to the U.S. Geological Survey data, after China, Brazil, India and Australia. Russia reserves are estimated at 3.8 million metric tons.
The rare earth metals are used to make magnets that turn power into motion for electric vehicles, cell phones, missile systems, and other electronics. Russia mines only 2,500 tons of concentrate a year and lacks capacity for processing.
Putin said that potential rare earth metals exploration deals could also be extended to deposits in territory in eastern Ukraine that Russia controls after three years of military action.
Putin noted that Russian companies could also supply up to 2 million tons of aluminum to the U.S. market annually if the U.S. market reopens. Russia used to provide up to 15% of U.S. aluminum imports before prohibitive duties were introduced in 2023.
This is terrific news. This should be the start of a solid, mutually beneficial relationship between USA and Russia. If cemented, this relationship would constitute the core of a Top of the World Alliance, involving USA, Russia, Europe (which ultimately cannot refuse), Japan, Canada and more. See other posts below for more on this topic. This alliance has been the worst missed great opportunity in world history. Properly fashioned, it will become the strongest and most beneficial alliance in world history. Trump and Putin are making deep game theory moves. This is how you end the war and go forward. This is an end-run around European and American intransigence. I am all but certain it is based on a true version of how the Ukraine War started, including USA’s and NATO’s demented roles. ABN

Trump on DOGE letter to federal employees
Analysis of Ukraine War and Trump’s options
Here’s where things get interesting, and how President Trump navigates this will be epic to watch.
Vladimir Putin has a weapon the “west” cannot defend against. It’s not part of his physical military armament, it’s far more powerful. Putin has the truth as a weapon.
The western group must pretend they didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. The western group must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The western group must also pretend there was not a civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade, and the western group must pretend they didn’t try to provoke Vladimir Putin with expansions of NATO and an intentional breaking of the Minsk accords. There are other pretenses that must be maintained, but those are the top ones.
Into this grand game of pretenses comes President Donald Trump, not exactly the best pretender (by choice) and Vladimir Putin not only knows this, but he also respects this Trump attribute of honesty in problem solving.
Keep in mind, President Putin watched how President Trump dealt with the “North Korea threat” problem that was left to him by President Obama. Putin watched how Trump negotiated an exit to escalating conflict by honesty confronting China, the true hand on the puppet strings of the DPRK.
Putin saw in that North Korea geopolitical dynamic that President Trump dealt with Kim Jong-un with a brutally honest strategy that encompassed the influence of China. While Putin is more allied currently with China, he knows President Trump cuts through the gordian knot woven by western interventionists. Trump cuts through the gordian knot with honest and pragmatic policy.
As a result of this dynamic, everyone around President Trump, including the National Security Council, his National Security Advisor (Waltz), his CIA Director (Ratcliffe), and his State Dept Secretary (Rubio), all have to maintain the “western” pretenses that were/are cemented by the people and silos they replace.
The larger American government, sans President Trump, have to maintain all the aforementioned pretenses, in part because the Intelligence Community and the USA media support it, and in part because it would weaken the USA on the global stage to ever make honest admissions about our control of Ukraine. And yes, that pretending dynamic includes Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg who President Trump appointed as special envoy for Russia and Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s strongest weapon is the truth. Vladimir Putin also knows the auto-setting on President Trump’s psyche of problem solving, ie ‘optimal solutions’, is also centered on truth.
The proverbial $64,000 question: How does truthful President Trump deal with truthful President Putin, while all around the office of the White House are people who only know how to maintain pretenses?
That my friends, is going to be a very interesting dynamic to watch.
One way President Trump could gain back the power of not pretending is to: (1) request an immediate ceasefire; then (2) tell the CIA (Ratcliffe) to immediately withdraw all CIA operatives from Ukraine; then (3) tell Secretary Marco Rubio to pull all USAID operatives out of Ukraine; then (4) tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he must hold a national election within 60 days.
If the U.S and NATO pull all of the control agents out of Ukraine and hold an election, the result will highlight the will of the Ukranian people to retain Volodymyr Zelenskyy. If Zelenskyy wins, then he is in a stronger position. If he loses, then he was never strong to begin with, and he’s the wrong person to be negotiating with.
Calling for an election in Ukraine is a radical approach because I think we all know what the outcome would be. Then again, that’s the problem with pretending, when you stop you have to accept the transparently predictable forecast.
Posted in full with permission from Sundance. I would add, very strongly, that it appears Trump is pursuing a real alliance with Russia. He is going over the heads of Europe and the lies of US diplomacy. This makes sense for many reasons provided in other posts on this site and also because Trump is simultaneously looking to annex Greenland and join Canada with USA. These are all deep game-theory moves that will, if successful, provide the strongest alliance in the world, the strongest alliance possible in this world. Europe will have to follow and join this alliance between USA and Russia. Many other northern countries, Japan etc, will also join. This would entail a major break or revision of the geopolitical Grand Chessboard game which centers on controlling Central Asia while destroying Russia, which is precisely what has been happening in Ukraine and Georgia. If Trump is successful in forming this alliance, everyone benefits — USA, Russia, Europe, Canada, Japan, Korea, etc. Putin surely can see this. The logic is strong and others will have no reasonable grounds to reject it. ABN
Bore cut
These videos cover specific cutting techniques, and are supplementary material for our chainsaw safety course. They are not a comprehensive explanation of when to use the cuts, the potential hazards, or the basics of saw use.
Bore cutting is a versatile and safe way to fell medium to large diameter trees. Not only is it great for felling trees without leans, it prevents your saw being pinched on back-leaning trees and protects the cutter from barber-chairing on heavily forward leaning trees.

GAZA: A speculative analysis into the future
So it looks like Gaza is going to be transformed into the next French Riviera.
The GCC’s vision has Kushner and Trump set on transforming Gaza into a $50b rebuild as a luxury hub.
This will be bankrolled by the GCC.
So we’re looking at Dubai-style towers, hotels, malls, waterfronts. Basically, the NEOM’s $500b model, funded by Gulf cash.
The GCC have also categorically rejected the displacement of Palestinians. So have Egypt and Jordan.
How will the Palestinians live?
Much better than how they’ve been living, but lesser than what they deserve, given what they have endured. At least temporarily.
These properties will demand a return. So Palestinians will not end up owning. The properties will be snapped up foreign investors. Palestinians will likely get standard-wage jobs in construction, service and hospitality.
This is an interesting read and works the imagination. Many variables to consider but the nuts and bolts of money and profit are fundamental. ABN

Trump 2.0 Crosses the Atlantic: OpenAI Summary
The article reflects on the contrasting foreign policies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden regarding Russia, particularly as Trump begins his second term. It examines Trump’s initial approach during his first term, where he sought a détente with Russia but was hindered by opposition from various factions within the U.S. government and media, collectively referred to as the “Deep State.” The narrative suggests that Biden’s administration, in contrast, has adopted a neo-Cold War stance, which has led to heightened tensions and a protracted conflict in Ukraine, contributing to a deteriorating economic situation across Europe.
As Trump resumes office, there are indications that he is aiming for a more expansive vision than merely resolving the Ukraine conflict. The article posits that Trump’s administration is moving towards a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, possibly dismantling the existing post-World War II order. This shift includes a potential rapprochement with Russia and a reevaluation of NATO’s role in Eastern Europe, as highlighted by comments from Trump’s new defense secretary, Pete Hegseth. Hegseth’s remarks suggest a departure from Biden’s strategies, indicating that the U.S. will not support Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and that retaking occupied territories is an unrealistic goal.
Furthermore, the article discusses the immediate diplomatic efforts initiated by Trump following his phone call with Putin, marking a stark contrast to the previous administration’s approaches. Trump’s team is reportedly preparing for negotiations aimed at establishing a settlement in Ukraine, signalling a decisive shift in U.S. involvement in the conflict. This new diplomatic maneuvering suggests a desire to restore bilateral relations with Russia, which Trump argues is necessary for global stability. The piece emphasizes that the absence of Ukrainian representation at these talks reflects a fundamental change in the power dynamics at play, with Trump’s administration seemingly sidelining Ukrainian leadership in favor of direct negotiations with Russia.
In a broader context, the article also highlights a speech by J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference, which critiques the neoliberal order in Europe and calls for a reevaluation of European security priorities. Vance’s remarks emphasize the internal challenges facing democracies in Europe, arguing that the retreat from fundamental democratic values poses a greater threat than external actors like Russia. His speech resonates with Trump’s philosophy of prioritizing American interests while encouraging European allies to take more responsibility for their security. Overall, the article portrays a moment of significant geopolitical transition, with Trump’s return to power potentially reshaping U.S. relations with Russia and altering the existing global order.
The above is an AI summary of a longer article. It was provided by the website the article is posted on. I strongly agree with the highlighted positions. As stated many times over many years, I see mutually beneficial relations with Russia as paramount to sane politics, both global and domestic. This is a KOBK world, and probably always will be unless AI or something even more wonderful comes along (aliens or God). A strong alliance between Russia, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and other Central Asian nations will bring about a more peaceful and prosperous world. Other nations can join this Top of the World alliance as appropriate. Today, we are witnessing a change in the comitatus, or faction, that governs USA and dominates the West. So far, I see this as a good change and I see Trump’s emphasis on good relations with Russia as a major part of this power shift. A Top of the World alliance would be centered on the West and Western values. Nations like Japan and Korea should be able to ally very easily. They need protection from China and have already learned how to cooperate with the West. ABN
