Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.
Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.
" problematic under current security standards."
Is there an understatement of the year award.
It’s slightly troublesome that not only were a bunch of 20ish year olds, at least one in his past was fired for posting company secrets on discord… not only are able to walk into any government agency and get classified information… but are also, notably posting them to the public. (and that’s just what we see them doing publicly… lord knows if anything is traveling through any hidden channels etc…
That’s “problematic” in the way 9/11 was a “troubling event”.
At this point I’ll believe anyone in the USA is worried when we see tanks at the Capitol.
Until then it’s impossible anymore to believe this isn’t approved by the nation.
Their Shock Doctrine approach (thank you Naomi Klein) has been incredibly successful. Reading about history in my youth, I now understand why evil prevailed then as it is now. I was looking back at times of immense tyranny and thinking “why didn’t everyone just rise up against them!?” Some are fully onboard, others partially, but many are detached, struggling to survive. The rest of us do what we can, when we can, but disjointed and unorganized.
It’s a whole lot of “please will somebody DO something!”, but the modern Democrats are not an opposition party, ever. The news media is complicit as well. There are a handful of judges and attorneys who are doing their damndest, but this is no longer a country of laws (for the rich and powerful).
The country is geographically massive and your average citizen is both poor and uneducated, both politically and otherwise, by Western standards. Now that large swaths of worker’s livelihoods are being devastated they may have more time on their hands.
I won’t hold my breath for “Occupy Washington”, but when the next movement comes it will be met with intense and violent opposition. Hopefully a silver lining may be a wake up call, far too late.
I shudder to think of what comes next as it has been festering and fomenting within this country my entire lifetime. The sophisticated propaganda machine and socioeconomic warfare has kept our citizens dumb, divided, and despondent, I pray something beneficial rises from the ashes.
There is no single answer to your question. My aim was to provide a contemporaneous snapshot of what I am experiencing. As I have been observing our descent into flagrant fascism, and telling anyone who would listen, for the better part of a century. And I hate it with every fiber of my being.
I’m so fucking tired of everyone blaming the Democrats.
Trump has a 46% approval rating. ** 46% of the American people support explicitly this. **
They don’t have the right to perform a coup without the consent of the people. And you, right now, are saying you don’t consent to their rule because they haven’t taken it by force. (What force?)
Are you aware of how unpopular any impeachment typically is? If his approval rating is 46%, impeachment won’t happen.
We’re going to have to wait for things to get bad enough that we all start to actually suffer in our lives, outside of just seeing it coming by reading the news.
Seeing the train isn’t enough. We have to wait for it to hit us.
modern Democrats are not an opposition party, ever. The news media is complicit as well.
The US political system is thoroughly broken but it’s not changed much leading up to the Trump era, it’s really the news media that made Trump happen right now.
It started in the 80s with cable news and continues today with toxic podcasts and social media. People are like your annoying ex-girlfriend - they don’t want to be told the truth, they just want to be validated. Billionaires and con artists (and billionaire con artists) have figured out how to use newer forms of media to exploit that tendency and I think it’s still getting worse. Eventually like all predators they’ll overconsume their prey but there’s a lot of suckers in the world for them to run through first.
Americans are resisting, for instance lot’s of people are quitting their jobs, I’ve heard about at least 3.
Sarcasm aside, I congratulate the people who refuse to aid Trump, and actually do resist. But it just doesn’t seem to be a lot.
Maybe it’s too early, but I sure hope that some real resistance will emerge, and resist and prevent MAGA in their attempt to destroy democracy completely.I mean I saw armored vehicles and armed guards at the Georgia Capitol building in Atlanta during the last few elections
The website posting classified info, not being secure, and hiring a 19 year old who leaked classified data at a previous job. Hmm, almost seems like Elon is actively undermining the US government and inviting various groups and countries to steal our data.
Maybe he has some war thunder arguments to settle…
Lol “intelligence officials” can eat my whole asshole. They let the monkeys in without even a background check; they’ve earned their goddamn circus.
Maybe now the intelligence community will do their thing and none of us will have to worry about these dipshits anymore.
Can we start a rumor that Musk wants to shut down Boeing? He won’t last a month.
Develop heart attack gun and extensive ways to fabricate blackmail. Only use it against peaceful socialists like MLK.
How do these people not have their fucking doors kicked in for this shit?
That’s why I’m going to my states senate office and raising hell. You should too. Monday Feb 17th. Be the change my friend
Because those who should be doing that are complicit, that’s how.
Oh no! They’re worried!
Fucking do something about it for once
Worried, concerned, alarmed. Shut the fuck up if you aren’t going to take action now, and tell us what those actions are. We know they are actively destroying what they can while making bank. These words mean nothing if you say them and never take action. Maybe in a different time they would carry weight, but not today.
Of course. Trump was keeping classified documents in his bathroom after his first term and the American people rewarded him with a second. This is what Americans want.
22%.
I can see why he’s carrying that kid of his around now.
The way he’s going, he’s just going to get the kid killed.
If you don’t want to hurt the kid, an anti material rifle would make short work of whatever body armour he’s wearing.
Fucking morons
and was later hacked.
