Divert CIA resources away from what the chapter calls social engineering
What the document says“the Director should divert resources from any activities that promote unnecessary and distracting social engineering.”
The chapter states that certain employees and offices have focused on promoting what it calls divisive ideological or cultural agendas and fostering a culture of risk aversion. It asks that promotion criteria change and that officers willing to accept high risk be rewarded over those advancing by routine.
What the document actually says“the Director should divert resources from any activities that promote unnecessary and distracting social engineering.”
Some work pushes social causes. The Director should move money away from it.
The book says some staff work on social causes. It says that is a distraction. It wants the money moved to other work.
Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing
2025-01-20 · 90 FR 8339
Executive Order 14151 terminates diversity, equity and inclusion offices, positions, programs and equity related grants and contracts across the executive branch, which moves resources away from the activities the chapter describes, and its section 2(a) requires federal employment practices, including performance reviews, to reward individual initiative, skills, performance and hard work and never to consider those factors, which touches the promotion criteria the chapter raises in the same passage. It is not addressed to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, names no intelligence agency or directorate, and says nothing about rewarding officers who accept high risk or about the risk aversion the chapter treats as the other half of the problem.
The order ends DEI offices, jobs and grants across the branch. That moves money away from such work. It also says hiring and reviews must reward skill and hard work alone. But it is not aimed at the spy chief and names no spy agency. It says nothing about rewarding officers who take on risk.

Each of these names the order above in its own summary, preamble or filing. That is a fact about the document, not a finding that it carries out this proposal: it is one step further away than the order is, and what it does about the proposal is a reading nobody has made here.
