Should agencies which can be turned against the people even exist?

Director of National Intelligence Uses Crudely PhotoShopped Stock Photo to Showcase Its Fearsome Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Program
Sometimes key themes of a political party come together in unusual and yet appropriate ways.
For instance, one of the hallmarks of the Biden bunch, since the Dementia Popsicle was installed in office, has been pushing racial division as the organizing philosophy of its governance. Mandatory training has been given to federal employees on the evil nature of Whiteness and the necessity of its overthrow.

The US military is on the cusp of being brought to its knees by assclowns who don’t know how to win a war but have very clear ideas on how to drive recruiting into the ground, force talent out of the services, and create a Stasi-like network of informers and political commissars. This is driven by the Critical Race Theory tenet that unless all positions have a statistically equal representation of every race, ethnicity, and sexual perversion, then the felonious hand of Whiteness must be involved.
A second key characteristic of Joe Biden and his enablers and puppeteers is a legendary level of incompetence previously thought to be impossible to achieve. Virtually everything this bunch has touched has turned into a steaming pile of ordure, and the only thing that has saved them is a compliant and subservient press that routinely covers up mega-blunders because saving Joe and his progressive government is much more important than the truth.
Now we have an instance where both the slavish adherence to percentages is coupled with wildly incompetent behavior. It comes, naturally, from the agency that is apparently eavesdropping on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s communications.
Intelligence agency busted for blatant Photoshop job on cover of diversity report https://t.co/DJFas34b6A pic.twitter.com/NAoJS5T11A

“Photoshop” doesn’t do credit to the episode.
The original photo is a stock image purchased (we hope) from stock photo site Shutterstock called “Portrait Of Multi-Cultural Office Staff Standing In Lobby.” Note the near-perfect percentages in the original. There are 15 people, eight men and seven women. There appear to be three Black employees; two or three could be Hispanic or Middle Eastern/South Asian, two are Asian. The key “multiracial” demographic may or may not be overlooked depending on how you interpret the next-to-the-last (yes, yes, the correct word is penultimate) guy on the right. Gay men seem to be overrepresented, assuming none of them are supposed to be trans. Only one of the people looks to be over 45, so maybe diversity and inclusion doesn’t extend to age discrimination.
Then your government entered the scene, and they add a white woman in a wheelchair and another white guy who is either blind and wearing stereotypical blind-guy gear or is in deep cover and doesn’t want to be recognized. I’m assuming that the dog is supposed to be a seeing-eye dog for the PhotoShopped blind guy, but with this bunch, it could be a new hire to increase diversity and inclusion. (An alert commenter noted that the two newcomers may actually be vampires as they seem to be missing shadows.)
Just some thoughts on this nonsense.
There is a price paid for this kind of slavish devotion to hiring/promotion by percentages. It is paid by the people who are overlooked because they don’t fit in the racial box that is in demand, and it is paid by the nation which is robbed of competence in the service of “equity” while it pays the thieves responsible for the theft a lot of money. After the fiascos our Intelligence Community has been involved in over the past decade, I’d think that hiring people who can do the job should be a top priority, but apparently not.
If the makeup of DNI is so diverse, then why didn’t they just an office picture…or a picture of the executive leadership team…to make their case. You can stop laughing because we all know the answer. Unfortunately, this diversity, inclusion, and equity bullsh** doesn’t extend to the people enforcing it.
Lastly,
For the cover of its diversity report, ODNI bought a stock photo called "Portrait Of Multi-Cultural Office Staff Standing In Lobby" and then photoshopped a woman in a wheelchair and a blind guy into it. https://t.co/BpvOg17CbA https://t.co/G59aVvba58 pic.twitter.com/Em6C1cFuFl

According to DNI Avril Haines,
The Intelligence Community should reflect the diverse makeup of America and demonstrate that we are fostering an environment where every professional can succeed,” Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said in a statement accompanying the report. “Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion is fundamental to our democratic values and critical to meeting the IC’s mission. This takes work every single day. We are committed to doing more to address this critical issue and accelerate our progress.
And if they have to lie to you to make you think they are accomplishing their mission, well, that’s what they do for a living and you are probably un-American for being critical of these heroes.
