The Los Angeles, California wildfires that broke out on January 7th are still raging in Pacific Palisades and elsewhere, continuing to expose the state and city's obsession with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). There is.
In the 2023-2026 “strategic plan” devised by lesbian fire chief Kristin Crowley, “embracing” DEI ideology and employment is the third goal of the seven-goal plan, ahead of “technological innovation.” It is placed.
DEI is also big on the state water department, whose head, Janice Quiñones, makes nearly $800,000 a year.
And did you know, the Daily Caller reported that while the city cut funding for the fire department, it allocated large sums of money to “gay choirs, trans cafes, and social justice arts?”
Accepting DEI
DEI Detective Christopher Rufo takes a closer look at Crowley's strategic plan and finds that DEI hiring is a top priority, which comes as no surprise. After all, as The New American reported yesterday, the city is a Safi paradise, similar to Lesbos.
“Our seven key goals focus on:” the plan’s cover page reads.
• Provide superior public safety and emergency services.
• Promote a safe, healthy and progressive working environment that effectively manages individual and organizational risks.
• Commit to an organization that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Improved collaboration, participative leadership and responsible performance management.
• Facilitate personal and professional development and organizational succession.
• Explore, implement and integrate innovations and advances.
• Strengthen community resilience, disaster recovery capacity and environmental sustainability (emphasis added).
Notice numbers 6 and 7. Innovation, progress, and disaster recovery.
In the 48-page plan itself, DEI ideology is “Goal 3.”
The first “strategy” in this section is “Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as systemic values and principles across the organization,” followed by five “tactics,” of which Two are brainwashing programs.
• Deliver DEI education to all members on a regular basis and highlight the benefits these values bring to the entire department.
• Train all supervisors to be change agents who model inclusive behavior.
Another “strategy” includes the creation of a “Directorate to Advance the Department’s DEI Vision,” and the third is to “reduce invisible barriers to DEI,” which includes two Also includes RightThink tactics.
• Use accurate language to challenge misconceptions that impede diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Design and deliver DEI toolkits and coaching to department members.
Perhaps that means pretending that women, especially lesbians, are just as capable of fighting fires as men, or better yet.
Another “strategy” is, of course, “creating opportunities to improve the diversity of new employees.”
One of the “tactics” under that heading is “offering test and interview preparation workshops to candidates in underserved areas.”
The plan states that “inclusion is action” and “belonging is result”.
It appears that Crowley turned the LAFD into an encounter group.
And, horrifyingly, the other “tactic” is to “purchase electric vehicles (EVs) in accordance with the city's mandate to create zero-emission vehicles.”
That will work when a wildfire starts.
Water Chief: $750,000 per year
Quiñones has also come under fire. She asserted that Pacific Palisades' fire hydrants had run dry because “so much water was being used.”
Quiñones, who was hired in DEI, earns $750,000 a year, nearly twice as much as his predecessor. Martin Adams, who is white, earned just $435,000 a year.
Oddly enough, the city hired Quiñones, a Puerto Rican, from Pacific Gas & Electric Co., where she was senior vice president of electric utilities. PGE paid the state a $45 million settlement in early 2024 after a tree fell on one of its power lines in 2021, sparking the Dixie Fire, California's second-largest fire at the time. In 2021, it paid $125 million in fire-related fines.
So, naturally, the city hired one of its executives to run the water department.
Quiñones’ department celebrates DEI calendar items such as Pride Month, Women’s History Month, and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
State water resources departments should not be left behind either. In 2022, it aims to “advance an honest and critical evaluation of its efforts and identify the racial inequalities that exist within its programs, policies, and institutional culture. Developed a racial equality action plan.”
Expenses to LAFD, money to “Transcafe”
The city cut the fire department's budget by $17.6 million last year, only to waste the money on racist celebrations and eccentrics.
The Daily Caller, citing a city document, said the city would give the Midnight Stroll Transgender Café 10 to “support a safe haven for unsheltered transgender people in Hollywood.” It was reported that he spent $1,000.
Taxpayers poured in $100,000 for the NAACP awards and $8,670 for the One Institute International Gay and Lesbian Archives.
The caller went on to say:
The ONE Archives at the University of Southern California (USC) Library is currently hosting an exhibit titled “Science Fiction, Magic, and Queer LA: Sexology and the State of the Imagination,” which focuses on the occult and the “LGBTQ movement.”
The budget also allocated $13,000 for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month Program and $14,010 for the Los Angeles Gay Men's Choir.
Los Angeles' African American History Month, Native American Heritage Month, Latino History Month, and Asian American History Month programs were each allocated $13,000.
The budget also allocated a total of $170,000 for “social justice artist investments.”
And to top it all off, as The New American reported yesterday, Mayor Karen Bass was an operative of the Venceremos Brigades, a Cuban intelligence group that trains terrorists.
