NASA’s James Webb: A White man who fired all the fags!
[There was a bunch of crying and whining by the old Liberal/Marxist/Jew scumbags about James Webb. Whenever they're crying about a White man, you can rest assured he was awesome and good, like Hitler, Nixon, and many others. Well, it seems there's a bunch of crying about the White man, James Webb, that he was tossing out fags from NASA. All in all he seems like a pretty cool, standup, White man from a time when White men were more manly. It seems he was a pretty good White male! Jan]
Here’s some of the crybaby crap about James Webb from Wikipedia:
Controversy about telescope name
From 1950 to 1952, following State Department rules put in place in 1947, Webb was in a leadership role at the time of what is now called the lavender scare, during which hundreds of homosexual personnel were fired from the department. Records show Webb met President Truman on June 22, 1950, in order to establish how the White House, the State Department, and the Hoey Committee might "work together on the homosexual investigation" and Truman agreed to send two White House aides with Webb to meet with the Hoey Committee to establish a modus operandi.[25] Purges of homosexual state employees continued throughout Webb’s tenure at the State Department, with Webb’s subordinates continuing to report the dismissals of dozens of homosexual workers from 1950 to 1952.[26] However, historian David K. Johnson states that Webb’s attendance at the White House meeting was in the context of containing the hysteria that members of Congress were stirring up, saying “I don’t see [Webb] as having any sort of leadership role in the lavender scare.”[27]
In March 2021, a commentary in Scientific American urged NASA to rename the James Webb Space Telescope, alleging that Webb had been complicit in the State Department’s purge of homosexual individuals from the federal workforce.[28][29] This controversy was widely reported in the press.[30][27][31] Scientists who opposed naming the telescope in Webb’s honor pointed to the case of NASA budget analyst Clifford Norton, who in 1963 was accused of homosexual behavior, arrested and fired, with NASA calling his suspected conduct "immoral, indecent, and disgraceful". Personnel matters fell under the purview of the Deputy Administrator of NASA Robert Seamans; direct evidence of Webb’s knowledge of Norton’s firing has not come to light.[32] Such firings may have been "custom within the agency" in that era.[33] Historian David K. Johnson, author of 2004 book The Lavender Scare,[25] has stated that there is no evidence Webb led or instigated any persecution, nor played "any sort of leadership role in the lavender scare".[27] According to astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi, the initial accusations that Webb was part of the lavender scare were based on a quote from John Peurifoy (who, like Webb, had the rank of "Undersecretary of State") which was wrongly attributed to Webb.[34][32]
In an email obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by Nature in March 2022, a name-redacted intern working with NASA’s chief historian Brian Odom and NASA Communications Specialist Catherine Baldwin stated "[t]hat Webb played a leadership position in the Lavender Scare is undeniable."[35][36]
Other sources call into question the intern’s conclusions. In March 1952, just after Webb left the Department of State, the New York Times reported that 126 government officials had been discharged. By April 1953, that number had quadrupled as 425 were discharged, so the claim that the firings of LGBTQ workers ended when Webb left State is not supported by the data.[37][38][39][original research?] In April 1953, about a year after Webb had left the State Department, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10450, greatly expanding the Lavender Scare program and leading to thousands of dismissals. The author of the book cited by the intern, David K. Johnson, had told the Washington Post in 2021 that "he knew of no evidence that Webb played a lead role in the movement."[32]
On September 30, 2021, NASA announced that it would keep the JWST name after running an investigation and finding "no evidence at this time that warrants changing the name".[40][41]
Former administrator Sean O’Keefe, who made the decision to name the telescope after administrator Webb, stated that to suggest that Webb should "be held accountable for that activity when there’s no evidence to even hint [that he participated in it] is an injustice".[40]
