The world has gone completely insane in the past year if you ask me and one of the main culprits in this whole charade is the United States. Diversity training, accusations of everything being racist, and the desire to be as "woke" as possible is just an embarrassment.
In an effort to make their department look as diverse as possible the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report complete with an extremely diverse work force for the masses to applaud for their efforts to hire minorities, women, and people with disabilities and they are definitely doing so as this picture they released clearly proves.
Unfortunately, none of these people actually even work there.
To make matters worse, the person in the wheelchair and the blind guy with the seeing eye dog are very clearly photoshopped into the picture. You don't even have to be a graphic designer to see that this is the case and some people in internet-land quickly discovered the original photo and its source.

Later, to add more embarrassment to the situation, it was found out that this shutterstock image can actually be downloaded for a very small fee. So not only are they lying, using stock images, photoshopping in blind and disabled people, but they are also too stingy to pay very much for it. I'm guessing some elementary school kids are in charge of their graphic design department as well.
This is just hilariously bad that they would do this. I think that most people are probably tired of hearing about diversity objectives, which by the way are not new to government, but now we have a "national intelligence" agency that is so stupid that they thought they would be able to sneak this by people. These are the folks who are supposed to be in charge of preventing terrorism and they couldn't even cover their tracks well enough to release a report that nobody is going to read anyway.
Now here comes the fun part: All the articles or live air news stories that covered this were right-leaning networks. I am unable to find a single left-leaning article or news story about this at all. hmmmm... I wonder why that is?
I am one of those people that thinks that the government is lying to us all the time anyway but for crissakes man, this is just a terrible job. ODNI has not responded to anyone about this and honestly, it would probably be better for them if they don't because if they do respond, I am certain they will just throw some fall guy under the bus that didn't even have anything to do with it.
