NYT Insists The U.S. Military Let Delusional People Shoot Missiles

On Feb. 27, The New York Times published a profile article and photo shoot backing transgender soldiers now ineligible for the U.S. military under the Trump administration. The paper’s glamorous treatment of activists weaponizing mental illnesses and fetishes to destroy Western societies contrasts sharply with its treatment of conscientious objectors to emergency-licensed Covid injections.

The Times didn’t mention “the cost of losing highly trained service members” for the more than 8,000 conscientious objectors that we know left the service to avoid experimental injections often built with aborted baby parts. (Many others left the service for that reason without revealing it to their employer, they’ve told me.) But it did so for delusional people who insist they should professionally wield guns and missiles.

“Commander Shilling is the president of SPARTA Pride, an advocacy organization for trans troops,” the article says. “She [sic] said many trans troops are people like her: senior personnel who will be difficult and expensive to replace. The Navy spent millions of dollars on her training and flight hours, and sent her to graduate school to prepare her for greater responsibilities, she said. She now helps to oversee a multibillion-dollar carrier-launched drone program.”

Spending millions of the American people’s dollars on a delusional person is yet another example of U.S. military’s incompetence, fraud, and waste, not a reason to perpetuate U.S. military incompetence, fraud, and waste. Talk about misplaced resources!

SPARTA is a notorious queer activist outfit that military commanders have allowed to internally agitate against the policies of the elected president and Congress since its inception, as I document in my recent book. It’s a sure thing The New York Times allows this activist group to dictate its coverage of the issue. Mentioning SPARTA in this article and quoting its insubordinate and entitled leader is a dead giveaway.

SPARTA likely connected the Times with several if not all of the eight transgender enlistees the “reporter,” Dave Philipps, mentions. That, and the fact that the Times is doing PR for people suing the Pentagon, again confirms the Times is not a news outlet, but a propaganda organ for some of the most destructive activists in the world, who demand legal privileges for family-destroying sexual activities.

Without stable families, society enters a death spiral. All queer sexual activities are sterile, and transgender ideation clearly indicates serious mental instability that destroys lives and makes society inhospitable to healthy child development by forcing fetish awareness and a destabilized sense of reality on even babies. Most transgender men do it as a fetish called autogynephilia. Writer Steve Sailer was canceled for noticing the research documenting this, as he points out in his recent book.

Underneath its full-throated advocacy for the destruction of American society, the Times also reveals the U.S. military has recently assisted in this campaign. Eight transgender soldiers the Times interviewed “said they have faced some institutional barriers and heard a few cutting comments. But mostly, they say, they have been treated with respect. Their leadership has supported them, their peers have accepted them, and they have earned good performance reviews and promotions.”

We are constantly told transgender people face “discrimination” so severe it’s the top cause of their astronomic levels of mental distress and suicide attempts. Yet even the New York Times has to admit it can’t find evidence trans people are hazed harder than recruits who can’t do an eight-mile run in full kit.

“I assumed the worst, but I was wrong,” a transgender pilot told the Times. “When I came out, everyone in my unit just opened their arms to me.”

It’s an indictment of U.S. military leadership they have been so easily politicized into treating a mentally ill population better than Americans with diabetes or allergies that require an Epi-Pen, whose conditions automatically disqualify them from military work. As I point out in my book, numerous U.S. military leaders have openly aided and abetted mass insubordination on behalf of queer troops, for more than a decade.

When U.S. military policy made queer identification yet another of the long list of characteristics that disqualify an American from military service, numerous military leaders allowed themselves to be quoted in media as defying these policies of their elected commander-in-chief and their elected oversight in Congress. In short, numerous military leaders have been carrying out an insurrection against elected command on behalf of sexual politics, at least since the presidency of Bill Clinton.

“The Defense Department says it doesn’t track how much it spends on such [transgender] transition care,” the Times says. Of course it doesn’t.

Last year, the Pentagon hid from Congress and American taxpayers its “diversity, equity, and inclusion” efforts that included transgendering soldiers’ kids without their parents’ knowledge. The U.S. military has also employed its taxpayer-provided communications resources to push sexual Marxism, putting out Pride Month press releases and fawning profiles of queer troops for years in military publications on the taxpayers’ dime, not to mention sponsoring pride events that have included transgender sex shows for kids.

Things are so bad, a retired Navy captain can now tell the Times with an apparently straight face that disqualifying delusional people from professionally shooting others is as bad as disqualifying non-delusional Americans from service solely for their skin color. One of these things is not like the other, bro. The same retiree claimed disqualifying mentally ill people from professionally wielding a gun“flies in the face of science and reality.”

It’s not only retired military officers who participate in dangerous delusions that destroy military readiness and lethality. Pete Hegseth has a lot of work to do.
