A federal technology agency was recently captured Cybersecurity risks for the country By lying under the name of and violating rules “equity” It is dominated by a group of leftists who are obsessed with politics and pronouns. The Daily Wire It has been learned.

The General Services Administration’s (GSA) Technology Transformation Service (TTS) — whose employees have included a self-proclaimed Marxist organizer and a man who identifies as transgender who raised money from colleagues to “void their gender warranty” — spent its time creating a social justice robot that would correct the language of people who used politically incorrect terms. The unit was losing millions of dollars and lying repeatedly, which put security at risk by not adhering to basic security rules. Watchdog reports and other records reviewed and approved by The Daily Wire show that the unit had made these efforts.

The Daily Wire reported last Thursday that GSA inspector general found that TTS had been violated Federal agencies were tricked to violate security standards Privately, it believed that software meant to secure highly sensitive information was racist by not including facial recognition. In part, it obtained $197 million by lying to customers and funders that the software was compliant with NIST standards that required fingerprint recognition. Login.gov was a service that authenticates Americans before granting them access to sensitive data. The scandal involved Login.gov. Login.gov is a service that authenticates Americans before allowing them to access their personal information. It also affected the almost one million accounts that were sold to claim they conformed to NIST standards at a higher level, which would have required facial identification. GSA claimed it was. “completely unacceptable” It is about pursuing discipline.

TTS — which began as a project called 18F that still operates as one of its largest units — matters because of the importance of technology to modern government and because, like other GSA departments, its work fans out into other federal agencies.

President Joe Biden plans to issue an executive order that would make Login.gov available to all Americans. FCW reported last month. Login.gov will allow Americans to file their taxes directly through the IRS this April, contrary to concerns expressed by one of the software’s former leaders. Do not touch it. Although the IRS initially intended to use Facial recognition technology — which could cut down on billions of dollars of fraud from people filing tax returns in others’ names — it ultimately decided not to.

The Login.gov cyber-vulnerability and deception disclosed this month was just one of a series of serious rule violations, financial losses, and cyber-vulnerabilities that the GSA acknowledged were the result of “gross mismanagement.” The unit was also overwhelmed with shocking levels of partisanship, even though it spent half its time on actual billsable projects.

2016 was the year of the agency’s inspector general Slammed 18F for manpower expenditures exceeding $4,000 “bots” Such as the one that corrected gendered language within internal messages between employees.

Users should not say “I don’t believe in this!” “no problemo” It is because “arose as a way of devaluing Spanish in favor of an ‘English-only’ United States.”

“The ‘Slackbot’ polices a user’s text for the pronouns ‘guys,’ ‘guyz,’ and ‘dudes.’ When the bot detects these pronouns, it prompts the user to consider replacing the pronoun with an option, like ‘team,'” The IG wrote.

The creation of a social justice robot was possible because staff doubled down when they were called out.

“Pretty soon, we realized that we could introduce a lot more language nudges than just ‘guys,’ and we renamed ‘guys bot’ to ‘Inclusion Bot“,” wrote 18F officials in November 2022.

The new bot Items To call something “nuts” It is suggested that it be replaced with “bananas” Because we “want to avoid stigmatizing mental illness.” It discourages you from stating what something is “like crack” Because “We want to avoid stigmatizing addiction. Crack cocaine usage has also been racialized, resulting in discriminatory policies that target Black people.”

Users should not say “I don’t believe in this!” “no problemo” It is because “arose as a way of devaluing Spanish in favor of an ‘English-only’ United States.” They shouldn’t “circle the wagons” Because “this term arose from colonization,” nor “hold down the fort” Because “this term arose as a military phrase.” They shouldn’t be conducting a “postmortem” Because “This term can trigger emotions related to death.”

After the 2016 election, top honchos tried to shield TTS — which has its roots in a program architected by Barack Obama — from layoffs by claiming it was nonpartisan. “We have people from different political stripes on the team … We don’t think technology is partisan,” TTS Commissioner Rob Cook told CNNThe newspaper also mentioned that Republican Kevin McCarthy had supported the unit.

The Daily Wire reviewed records and found that far-Left sympathizers had impacted federal agencies through their web work and data work. You can find any name on 18F’s roster with open far-Left sentiments and an obsession on identity politics. Take, for example: Ann LewisTTS director, Charles, was previously chief technology officers at MoveOn.org (leftist political fundraising group).

Cordelia Yu, TTS Designer Director, raised money last year from colleagues (including Aaron Snow former 18F director). “gender-affirming surgery”–billed in tech-speak as “Help Cordelia You Can’t Change Their Gender Warranty”–in a GoFundMe organized by a friend. Yu’s blog featured writing on the Style of “the 18F project reflection template” This is what it said: “Goals for the last three months: Turn a penis into a p****.”

Leah Bannon, former product lead, worked on Immigration at 18FHe is currently an organizer for Bread and Roses Democratic Socialists of America. This self-described “national cuucus of” organization. Marxist organizers.”

Anne PetersonThis month, 18F’s graphic designer, wrote this tweet: “Hi: my name is Anne and my pronouns are they/them. My name or appearance should not lead to a presumption of gender. Your assumption may harm me whether or not you intend it to.” She was unhappy about the absence of facilities for non-binary people.

After Donald Trump won tHe 2016 presidential election, 18F infrastructure director Noah Kunin — who the inspector general said repeatedly plotted to circumvent rules and made false statements — Write a blog post saying he was quitting because of his hatred of Trump.

“The people with the matches are inside the house … It’s now on fire because the people in charge want to burn it down,” he wrote.

Trump claimed that he had changed the position of overseeing the unit’s operations from a civil service to a political appointee in order to make a demand “loyalty.” Kunin’s supervisor feared that the blog’s claim was clearly falsified. An IG investigation revealed that Obama’s GSA chief, Denise Turner Roth had pushed for the post to be made politically-appointed as she tried to fire a civil service who blew the whistle. “politicization” During the Obama years, 18F was not included in this report. Roth had retaliated improperly against the whistleblower, according to the IG.

TTS held an election day meeting on the day following Trump’s win. “town hall” where high-paid tech employees — many of whom worked remotely — expressed fears for their “safety” According to records obtained under Freedom of Information Act by The Daily Wire, they planned to keep getting paid and refuse to do the work requested by Trump’s administration.

Some employees transcribed quotes from bosses in Slack to assist those who couldn’t attend the video conference. Shawn Allen cited one, suggesting they would stay in government to resist Trump. “you guys don’t run away from a fight; you run _to_ the fight.”

The social justice bot that the team had built was the next to respond.

“Did you mean *mates*?” It was asked.
