Full Story

More than 100 intelligence officers are being fired for participating in sexually explicit conversations in National Security Agency (NSA) chatrooms, all while on the clock. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made the announcement Tuesday, Feb. 25.

“I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked,” Gabbard said in an interview on Fox News.

She added, “They were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really horrific behavior, and they were brazen in doing this because, when was the last time anyone was really held accountable?”

Conservative activist and writer for the City Journal, Christopher Rufo, was the first to report on the chat logs from the NSA’s “Intelink” messaging platform, obtained by researchers from the conservative Manhattan Institute, reportedly from sources within the NSA.

What explicit content did the messages contain?

The messages, dating back two years, revealed employees from various intelligence agencies discussing their experiences with gender-reassignment surgery, artificial genitalia and polyamory.

A Defense Intelligence Agency employee said in a message, “One of the weirdest things that gives me euphoria is when I pee, I don’t have to push anything down to make sure it aims right.”

Another employee said about gender-reassignment surgery, “I’ve found that I like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.”

Other messages included graphic descriptions of laser hair removal, hormone replacement therapy and breast augmentation.

One employee said, “Getting my butthole zapped by a laser was … shocking.”

Yet another employee said about estrogen treatments, “Look, I just enjoy helping other people experience boobs.”

Some discussions included talk about sexual arousal post-operation and other lewd experiences, including weekend “gangbangs.”

Were these explicit chats previously sanctioned?

According to the City Journal, the chats were under the guise of the NSA’s commitment to “diversity, equity and inclusion,” with activists at the agency using LGBTQ+ “employee resource groups” to turn their sexual desires into official work duties.

A current NSA employee told the City Journal the groups “spent all day” recruiting activists and holding meetings with titles including “pride” and “transgender community inclusion” to ultimately talk about sex.

Intelligence agencies were told to identify employees who participated in the sexually explicit chatroom conversations and terminate their employment by Friday, Feb. 28.
