The Biden administration’s CIA produced an actual intelligence assessment — the kind of document that’s supposed to help us find al-Qaeda — warning that “traditional motherhood” and “homemaking” are indicators of white violent extremism.
You can’t make this stuff up. Your tax dollars paid a team of Langley analysts to write a report about the existential threat of women baking cookies and reading bedtime stories to their kids.
The document, which has the very serious and not-at-all-unhinged title “Women Advancing White Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremist Radicalization and Recruitment,” was produced on October 6, 2021. That’s right around the same time the FBI was busy investigating moms at school board meetings as potential domestic terrorists. Busy month for the feds.
The CIA’s crack analysts were deeply concerned that a certain organization — whose name they’ve redacted, probably because it’s too terrifying for the public to handle — “has lauded motherhood and homemaking as women’s most important responsibility.” The horror! An organization that thinks moms are important! Quick, scramble the drones!
The report also flagged that white families having “as many biological children as possible” is an extremism indicator. So wanting a big family is now a national security threat. Someone better alert the Duggars.
America First Legal, the group founded by Stephen Miller, got hold of this gem and called it exactly what it is: the Biden CIA’s “war on motherhood.” That’s not hyperbole. That’s a literal description of what the document says. The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America used its resources — resources that are supposed to be tracking foreign spies and terrorist cells — to produce a threat assessment about women who choose to stay home and raise their kids.
This wasn’t a one-off, either. CIA Director John Ratcliffe retracted 19 assessments that were flagged for political bias by the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. Nineteen. The other two documents they released to the public were just as ridiculous: one about how mean Middle Eastern governments are to LGBT activists, and another about how COVID was going to cause a birth control shortage in the developing world.
Senator Tom Cotton had the best line about the whole mess. “I’ve been sending these kind of reports back to the CIA for years and observing that they contain no intelligence.” That’s the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee telling you that CIA reports contain no intelligence. Let that sink in.
And remember, the CIA motherhood report dropped in October 2021. You know what else happened in October 2021? Attorney General Merrick Garland sent out his memo directing the FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings. The FBI created a special threat tag — “EDUOFFICIALS” — and started tracking moms who showed up to complain about porn in their kids’ libraries.
Then in 2023, we found out the FBI had produced an internal memo on “radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” that basically said going to Latin Mass makes you a white supremacist. A whistleblower had to leak that one before they pulled it back.
So let’s review the Biden administration’s official position on who the real threats to America are: Moms who stay home with their kids. Moms who go to school board meetings. And Catholics who prefer the old liturgy. Not the cartels. Not China. Not the guys who actually flew planes into buildings. Moms and churchgoers.
These people would have put us all in shock collars if they could. And that’s not a joke — they were literally building the surveillance and classification infrastructure to treat half of America as a national security threat.
But here’s what makes this story bigger than just one embarrassing CIA report. There are 16 more retracted assessments that haven’t been released to the public. Ratcliffe pulled 19 total but only showed us three. A senior administration official told reporters that most of the remaining ones “concerned diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Think about what that means. The CIA — an agency whose job is tracking nuclear proliferation, foreign espionage, and terrorist networks — was producing so much DEI propaganda that 16 additional reports had to be yanked for political bias. Sixteen reports we haven’t even seen yet. What’s in those? What other normal American behavior did they classify as a national security threat? Grilling on the Fourth of July? Going to church on Sunday? Flying an American flag?
Mark my words: when those 16 documents eventually come out — and they will — we’re going to find out this went way deeper than motherhood and homemaking. The Biden CIA wasn’t just producing a few stray woke reports. They were systematically building a framework that classified traditional American values as extremism indicators. The school board memo, the Catholic memo, the motherhood report — those are the three they let us see. They’re the tip of the iceberg.
The last time a major intelligence agency turned its tools inward against its own citizens on this scale was the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, when they ran COINTELPRO against civil rights leaders, antiwar protesters, and anyone else Hoover didn’t like. That program ran for 15 years before Congress shut it down in 1971. The Church Committee hearings that followed were some of the most explosive government investigations in American history.
We’re overdue for a Church Committee 2.0. The weaponization of the intelligence community against the American people didn’t start with one CIA report about moms. It’s a pattern that stretches across the FBI, the DOJ, the DHS, and now the CIA. Every single one of these agencies was producing documents that treated ordinary conservative Americans as potential terrorists during the Biden years.
The good news is that Ratcliffe is cleaning house. The bad news is that the bureaucrats who wrote these reports are still collecting their government pensions. Nobody’s been fired for producing an intelligence assessment that says making dinner for your family is a sign of violent extremism.
Maybe that should change. After all, we wouldn’t want any “radical-traditional” government employees lurking around Langley. They might do something truly dangerous — like pack their kid a homemade lunch.
