A Biden-Harris Department of Energy official is calling for 'queering nuclear weapons' as part of the radical DEI agenda.
Biden-Harris official says, "Queer theory is also about rejecting... the tenet that nuclear deterrence creates security and disarmament creates vulnerability."
When you think you've heard it all, you discover you haven't.
What are these people talking about?
Be informed, not misled.
A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing "queer theory" was essential to that agenda as well as important to America's national security.
Who is the new hire?
"Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament," she wrote last year. "Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing."
The DOE announcement said this:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced five new Biden-Harris Administration appointees joining the DOE team to work alongside U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm in combating climate change and helping the United States achieve President Biden’s ambitious clean energy goals. With these new hires and recent promotions, DOE appointees continue to make up an historically diverse team with 60% women, 57% people of color, and 25% of staff identifying as LGBTQ+.
“The Department of Energy boasts an incredible group of appointees, and these five new additions and the stellar cohort taking on new roles are no exception,” said DOE Chief of Staff Christopher Davis. “As we continue our work to lead the global transition to clean energy, this group of talented individuals will be critical in implementing the energy investments in the President’s Investing in America agenda.”
Nair argues that DEI, more broadly, "is essential for creating effective nuclear policy."
In fact, she believes the United States is a "failed historic model" with a "colonizing past."
She says, "Collectively, these principles (of DEI) can work to mitigate counterproductive work behavior and prevent disgruntled employees from becoming insider threats."

She said, "U.S. government reports show that qualified applicants with foreign ties have been discouraged from applying to sensitive national security positions and faced barriers to obtaining a security clearance. This is in part due to preconceived confirmation biases held by investigators about certain racial or ethnic groups."
"Considerable progress has been made in advancing DEI in the nuclear field, but the largest obstacle remains in ensuring that nuclear security practitioners understand how DEI can serve as a tool to strengthen nuclear security," she said in the article. "Greater focus on the intersections between nuclear security and DEI is essential."
Regarding race bias, Nair believes that White staff at nuclear facilities don't have the ability to properly evaluate threats from people of the same racial group, notably radical White supremacists.
"Diversifying the perspectives included in nuclear security decision-making can expand the definition of who or what constitutes a ‘threat’ for nuclear security," she said. "The notion of ‘threat’ and ‘security’ are defined by the dominant culture, which inherently sidelines how marginalized groups … perceive ‘threats.'"
Dominant culture is an academic concept about power that refers to how the U.S. has traditionally been shaped by White people.
"Equity and inclusion… is essential for creating effective nuclear policy," an article titled "Queering Nuclear Weapons" authored by Nair on "disarmament" from June 2023 said.
She then discussed how a radical academic concept called critical queer theory is crucial to addressing national security threats.
"Queer theory: changing the narrative... Queer theory is a field of study, closely related to feminist theory, that examines sex- and gender-based norms. It shines a light on the harm done by nuclear weapons through uranium mining, nuclear tests, and the tax money spent on nuclear weapons."
She said, "Queer theory also identifies how the nuclear weapons discourse is gendered: Nuclear deterrence is associated with ‘rationality' and ‘security,’ while disarmament and justice for nuclear weapon victims are coded as ‘emotion’ and a lack of understanding of the 'real' mechanics of security."
Nair also said that nuclear policy through the lens of queer theory is about rejecting "the tenet that nuclear deterrence creates security and disarmament creates vulnerability."
Reagan's "Peace through Strength" ideas were all wrong, according to Sneha and the Biden-Harris Administration that hired her.
Takeaway
After reading about this matter Mike Miller wrote, "If you've been waiting for that perfect example that the rabid left is not only a threat to the moral fabric of American society but also a clear and present danger to the very existence of the United States, today's your 'lucky' day. Even better, the example comes from none other than the Biden-Harris administration."
It sheds some light on this unbelievable matter to know that the Stimson Institute, where Nair worked before BIden-Harris hired her, has received hundreds of thousands from George Soros' Open Society Foundations and millions from "The Embassy of the State of Qatar" over the years.
Miller concludes with, "If Kamala Harris wins in November, what are the chances that Sneha Nair will not only remain in her job; her career will flourish? I'd say somewhere between 99 and 100 percent."
