They started this about 10 years ago.

The latest buzz in retardosphere is about one 2 minute clip of their "humans of CIA" series. Not an actual ad and since the first clip of the series was released 4 months ago i wouldn't be too surprised if they were filmed last year.

But yea there's really no opportunity cost to distancing the org from right wing incels. There's quite a bit to gain from assuring that random employees can't be compromised because of random kinks and/or whatever was "dirt" two decades ago. If the gay librarian can't let his freak flag fly, he's a liability.

Also all of this is recruitment/pr mostly for positions where trust is needed, but otherwise really mundane shit. They do the recruitment for officers that would be responsible for training future death squads, assassinating and torturing foreign nationals through different routes, with a wee bit different skill set that you would see on their official youtube/twitter account.

to your point, freak flag stuff used to be a concern because of its viability for blackmail, not because weirdos were weird. i can tell you some fucking stories about people who got TS clearance... pretty much nothing is an outright blocker if they determine it cant be used as leverage against you and that youre not in the thrall of some hideous personality disorders.

You voted for this agenda so own it and dont complain

When I was vetted to work for Uk Government and with Ministry of Defence one of the questions was “Have you ever been a member of an organisation dedicated to overthrowing parliamentary democracy”. I answered yes, and passed the vetting.
