Leaked CIA Chats Expose Staff Trashing Christianity
Leaked internal chat logs from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) revealed that some employees mocked the death of televangelist Pat Robertson. The logs, which were leaked to journalist Christopher Rufo, showed employees making disparaging comments about Robertson shortly after his passing on June 8, 2023. One employee joked that the gates of hell had opened to receive him, while another created an acrostic using his name that spelled out “pride,” followed by further critical remarks about the late Christian leader.
These logs were part of a broader investigation by Rufo, who released multiple examples of controversial internal conversations from intelligence agencies stored on National Security Agency (NSA) servers. According to Rufo, the chats often contained offensive remarks aimed at Christians, conservatives, and other groups. He emphasized that this pattern of communication among intelligence employees, which included personal insults and discriminatory language, reflects a wider cultural problem within these agencies.
Rufo’s exposé also included earlier reports that some NSA employees were engaging in inappropriate and sexually explicit discussions in violation of agency policies. He revealed that these chats, happening on taxpayer-funded platforms, covered subjects like kink, polyamory, and other controversial topics. Rufo expressed concern about the behavior of employees who have access to some of the world’s most sophisticated surveillance tools, calling for immediate reform.
The revelations prompted a public outcry, including a response from SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who tweeted that a significant overhaul of the intelligence community was necessary. In response to the controversy, newly appointed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that more than 100 intelligence employees would be terminated and have their security clearances revoked. Gabbard herself had been mocked in one of the leaked chats, which contributed to the swift actions taken to address the issue.
