- A selected selection has heard concerns from a previous NSA -cyber security manager
- Rob Joyce has warned redundancies will have a devastating impact on national security
- Over 100,000 federal workers have become redundant or taken retirement
The House Select Committee for the Chinese Communist Party has been told by the former National Security Agency (NSA) director of cyber security how Culling workers from Federal departments will have a “devastating influence” on national security and cyber security.
Over 100,000 federal workers have been dismissed or have taken early retirement as part of the new administration’s plans for drastically reducing the federal government’s workforce. This includes more than 130 positions cut from the Department of Homeland Security’s CyberSecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).
“I want to raise my serious concerns that the aggressive threats of cutting US government’s trial staff will have a devastating impact on cyber security and our national security,” Joyce said.
Slashed budgets
Probational staff or staff who have been with their government agency for less than a year were almost all eliminated in this round of redundancies that Joyce claims will “destroy a pipeline of top talent responsible for hunting and extinction [China backed] threats ”.
A federal judge in San Francisco has since considered these redundancies illegal and has ordered agencies to resign – with some Republicans who allegedly urge Musk in privately to consult the congress on the cuts.
It should be mentioned that these cuts have largely come into the hands of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Most recently, the technical billionaire shutdown of the Tech Unit 18F, a Software Engineers department and strategists serving General Services Administration, developed login systems and publicly turned IT services.
Musk is a non -elected official, and his plans to cut federal expenses have also attracted a wave of litigation following complaints about privacy, as the department allegedly gained access to “extraordinarily sensitive” federal worker information.
