We're gonna do "Current Events" today. That's what they called it when I was in Elementary School - I just don't remember ANY of it being this damn discouraging.
This does have a small tie-in with our previous post and others on the only-vaguely D.I.E.-related midair crash ending in 2 aircraft and 67 people going down into the Potomac River a year back. It wouldn't be cool to make any river jokes in relation to this post, but we're talking the same river in nearly the same spot and also the D.I.E. is strong in this one.
The courageous blogger Paul Kersey wrote up this already-well-known story today. His titles tend to take up a full paragraph, so here:
The Third Circle of Hell Is for Gluttons to Wallow in Their Own Excrement: DC Water Replaces White Male Executive Leadership with Almost All Blacks in 2021; in 2026, Biggest Sewage Spill in US History Occurs Under the Watch of This DEI-Constructed Board. Whewww, that's nasty - I gotta go study my Dante.
I tried to look up the flow rate of the Potomac River in the area west and south of Washington, FS, but the web just isn't very good with technical questions. AI froze! However, one blurb gave me what I was looking for anyway, that this massive spill of sewage is coming downriver at 2% of the Potomac flowrate there. Is that by weight or by volume? I don't want to think about such questions, and this is olde White Man science anyway. We should be past that...
I mean, it's 98% water still. What was that saying about the ice cream again?
The reader may want to go to Mr. Kersey's post for long excerpts from a The Daily Caller about the way this Water Department kicked out most of the White men, who had been running the place. Firstly, the CEO pictured above honed his trade in Flint, Michigan as the first Black! CEO of Veolia North America. Yeah, Flint. He misdiagnosed the problem of the odd-looking drinking water that was actually a problem of lead.
Gadis was copied on emails discussing potential lead issues before attending a public meeting where Veolia officials repeatedly assured residents the water was safe.Citizens wondered though ...
“We had greenish and brownish water. It smelled weird. It was giving people rashes and they were losing hair. Patients were asking, ‘Was it OK to use this tap water to mix their babies’ formula?’”Sure. All is well!!
By February 2025, Veolia had contributed $79.3 million to settlements with Michigan and roughly 26,000 individual claimants.Water bills have been going up for some reason. Still, $79 Million is a small price to pay for all those Diversity points, the Equity points, and the Inclusion points. Besides the points, if you hire enough incompetent non-White-Men, you can get to gold... at least lead, status.
Here is what happened to the competent White men running the Water Department of the Nation's Capital within only 3 years. Paul Kersey:
Well, let’s consult the 2021 ESG Report DC Water put out, gloating about the Executive Leadership of the public utility dropping from 63% White in 2018 to 25% White in 2021. Meanwhile, BIPOCs went from 38% in 2018 to 75% of the Executive Leadership in 2021 (not sure how you get 101% workforce for 2018, but that’s what DC Water reported!)Mr. Gadis has been very proud of all his
When we use the power of inclusion to drive innovation, this builds upon our Vision to be a world- class water utility. Advancing equity and justice inNahhh ... I'm not SO sure... I mean, understanding Bernoulli's Equation taken along a streamline, calculating head loss in various sizes types and ages of piping, knowing pump capacities and working pressures, knowing a bit about chemistry, flocculants, evaporation, that sort of thing, seems to me to be more of a help in becoming a World Class utility than advancing equity and justice. I don't know, I'm just a blogger, not a Black! CEO. Still, the water sector is one thing, but the raw sewage sector really ought to stop at the river's edge. Let's agree to disagree on this ...
the water sector is not only the right thing to do, it
is our responsibility.
With 38% of the Senior Executive Team identifying as female, and 75% being Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Mr. Gadis has assembled a leadership team which represents the communities that the Authority serves.Well, those people of many colors, sexes, and levels of Indigenousity are doing a good job representing the stupidity, laziness, and incompetence of the communities they CAME FROM. I think they'll be right at home in the new 3rd World America.
Mr. Kersey again:
The DC Water 2023 Water Equity for All Report brags 82% of DC Water employees are BIPOCs (Black, Indigenous or People of Color), and in 2026, the Potomac River is enjoying the true glory of this diversity as hundreds of millions of gallons of human waste pour into it enriching the citizens of Northern Virginia and Maryland in the process.Ahhhaaa, Northern Virginia. There are always the decent Conservative people everywhere, but I'm kinda smiling a bit here. Besides the AWFUL White people that run the politics in that area, there's a large contingent of recently-arrive Indians in northern Virginia. I wonder if they even care ...
Per commenter Trevor under Paul Kersey's post, Not only is the CEO black, but the other top executive is a pajeet from India. One Rachna Butani Bhatt, Interim Board Chairperson might very well be quoted as saying "What do you mean there's something wrong with the river?"
This D.I.E. Success Story in Washington FS, the American people and probably the whole World - with the Chinese consuming the most popcorn - are seeing what D.I.E. does to organizations. (That's not to mention the people. Who knows how those formerly well-employed successful White men are doing now. I see a potential Falling Down scenario from this sort of thing, or many...)
Will most Americans and the World see Cause & Effect here? Will more non-White and female Americans also admit that things are going to go to shit once White men have been significantly replaced in jobs and organizations that require competence? Due to demographics, this thing can not easily be turned around even if we all agreed to do so. We're swimming against the
It's pretty bad when the most disgusting part of the story is not the quarter Billion gallons of raw sewage coming down the river... so far.
PS: The reader may wonder why we call this a "D.I.E. Success Story" other than out of obvious sarcasm. The replacement of the White men employees, here, and all over the country, and then the resulting 3 Worldliness is not a success in most people's eyes. However, for those behind the Population Replacement Programme and for the destruction of America, yes, this is D.I.E. Success Story indeed.

PS: See that’s the part I didn’t want to think about, M, the various densities of the sewage components. Yeah, mostly same as water. I got to visit a sewage plant many years ago - interesting stuff.
The question I had was does White and BIPOC cover everyone? If that’s so, it’s just a minor math error. The guy’s a CEO, not a mathematician. ;-}
I included that line at the bottom when I (virtually) cut out the picture, because it was humorous. I’m not sure if that contract renewal was very recent. No, no merit was involved. I did bring up his simply stellar earlier career dealing with the lead in Flint, Michigan drinking water… or not.

PS: Are you talking about “Sympathy for the Devil”, Dieter? I really like that one, but I’m afraid I’ve not even read Goethe, though I’ve been to his old house.
“The Confederacy of Dunces” sounds very good though.

"Is that by weight or by volume?"
The contents are pretty close to water in density, so it's both. Yes, settling tanks are used to separate them (in competent water companies) but I think it takes a while.
101%? Rounding, plus the writer didn't check whether it looked reasonable.
Contract renewed? Well, that's likely because he still has enough influence. You didn't think he got it on merit did you? And maybe they can't get a replacement just yet (reluctance, fighting over compensation, etc).

Great texts are not least great because of their analytical (= predictive) - power.
This is true for Sigmund Freud's analysis of our discomforts in culture in his book Civilization an dits Discontents**** (which shows that we humans intuitively resist all necessary cognitive processes of a higher order - - the only things we're 100% eager to do are those primal drives like eat, breathe etc. . . . - the rest - we don't like as much...).
Another great one - on who's shoulder Dr. Freiud was proudly (!) standing, was Dr. Goethe - who showed how life is like a wahsing machine in which we and our ideals and all our thrivings are thrown around like wet clothes - confusing us to the max (this is a short summary of - Faust I & II of course) - which was breathtakingly well turned into song by the Rolling Stones, a good century later - as documented by french director Jean Luc Godard, btw.
**** a very humorous take on this subject is by John Kennedy Toole in his New Orleans
novel "The Confederacy of Dunces" - with lots 'n' lots of explicit "negro"- talk - - - a novel that could neither be written nor published and/ or praised (awarded the Pulitzer Prize!) today . . . . and it's heyday is not that long back really - roundabaout half a century.

Yes - Sympathy for the Devil! - I have written back and forth with Steve Sailer about it. Th estory goes as follows: A well known German saxophone player and composer whom I happen to know - - - and who also knows the Stones because he made arrangements for them and jammed with the band etc. . . and hwom I spoke with about this very song sdaid to me that - no young Mick Jagger did not write it -- hit worked more this way: Jagger wopuld scribble down some notes na dthoughts and then a professional hand would kick in an ddeliver a few vrsions of a song an dJagger would correct a bit etc. and then approve of it - and call it his - -the helping hand being paid well - but excluded from royalties...Steve Sailer does not believe that and said: Jagger wrote it (for reasons I he never made ver^y cleart he thinks that Jagger is among the high IQ-rock stars - Dvid Bowie too - - - I guess if the sax-man's story is true, Jagger might never tell . . . because what? - - royalties... image-control? - - -
The Confederacy is that in many hindsights impossible or incredible book - - - it sat in the office-shelf of a well known writer who happened to teach for a while in New Orleans but couldn't bring himself to look into it - -and then O'Toole's mother decided to turn up the üpressure on this man and he still resisted but she kept ringing him up and coming again to his office - - - until he did start reading it and then decided that yes - it is a masterpiece - - - one of a kind - - - - and all that was even "specialer" because the young author Kennedy O'Toole had - killed himself.
