Law Hegseth shared detailed military plans in second Signal chat that included his wife and brother

[Andy Capp]

Hmm.

How a Lloyd Austin aide became Pete Hegseth’s ‘only guy standing’

While Hegseth fired or reassigned several top advisers, a Marine colonel on his staff has ascended.

Hmm is right.

I don't even think that's it. In the case of Hegseth, we're just looking at pure, unadulterated incompetence

Truly a useful idiot to the right people.

He's proving himself to be a liability, which would be satisfying to those that were saying how underqualified he was for the nomination if not for the whole national security thing.

Man, at this point I'm pretty sure the entire point of his appointment was to sell our defensive secrets to any clown with a computer:

Hegseth had an unsecured internet line set up in his office to connect to Signal, AP sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer.

Durrrrrrrr....
it's because he can't have it on Gov systems. It's not allowed to be on Gov systems .. I wouldn't expect you to know that or MSM. It's a 3rd party application .

but he also should not be using Signal period.


Additionally, it is important to note that third-party messaging applications like Signal are not approved to process or store nonpublic unclassified information (e.g., Protected, FOUO, CUI) under DoD and NSA/CSS policies. Users handling sensitive information must follow NSA/CSS Policy 6-6 for secure communications.

Imagine being this close to the point and still missing it. Astonishing really.

Not saying he isn't a nice guy, but at what point can you consider someone legitimately retarded

It is (in my opinion) the expansion of disaster capitalism beyond mere market manipulation in the interests of creating short term commercial fire sales, and extending the fire sale onto civil society itself. 'Society is Broken and Needs Fixing', and, well, 'Big Government' isn't the answer*** so what alternative is there, waiting in the wings with its protean all-consuming adaptability and hard-nosed pragmatism and deal-making acumen and culture of 'excellence'? Why, kids, its Capitalism! We have seen an example of this with Eron casually suggesting that the US 'Golden Dome' or whatever the fuck it is called should be based on some kind of subscription to his own satellites.


(*** hur, hur, 'shall I tell you the scariest thing you can hear, its the phrase "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help", hur, hur, hur. Of course, its not at all scary to hear the same sentence but replacing 'Government' with 'Big Business', right? And totally, totally conceivable that the profit principle is totally reconcilable with the wider social good. Totally.)

I definitely think this is a lot of it. There is also white supremacy. And I dont mean that in the sense that some people think in terms of the cartoonish villainy we think of when we think of the Nazis. Americans think American Nazism would look a lot like Eric Cartman from South Park. Hes very casually racist, but hes endearing and kind of wholesome despite it. Everyone likes him even with the disgusting behavior. And besides, he's not REALLY a racist, how could he be if he's friends with Kyle and Token? Lol

What I mean is who the capitalists are, and what their vision is for the US. They definitely want a distinct caste system. They want oligarchy. And they regularly engage in the practice the far right Libertariand refer to as "crony capitalism" which is really just an aspect of capitalism in decline. 2 of the most powerful of these guys who agree with Curtis Yarvin, are Elon Musk and Peter Theil, who have connections to South Africa, the proverbial birthplace of white grievance politics. Where former Europeans subjugated and legally discriminated against a population for years, and then cried to the high heavens when they werent allowed to keep them spoils of it. Most of the sentiments communicated there ended up in right wing rhetoric here.

It comes from the old ideology that in order to develop into this modern, advanced, technological developed "West"...genocide, slavery, and other forms of segregation and subjugation were necessary, and even essential. A lot of things were used to justify it, from the junk science that enforced racial stereotypes as being biological, to religious fundamentalism that entitles Christians to dominion and even provides for division among minority communities who adapt it, but will always be beneath the majority despite the common religion. Africa was essentially a plantation State for Europe, that was the endgame of colonization. Genocides were done, ethnicides were done, but hey "we built something great!" The Confederacy were going to be way more openly aggressive about doing the same thing to Central and South America had they won the Civil War. The US Government still tried to with corporations and more covert Wars over resources, the effects of which have damaged those countries to this day, and would further cripple them if they dared to oppose austerity policies.

These guys want an ethnostate, powered by cheap labor and resources FROM the global South in this hemisphere, but given to us generously by dictators who we fund to remain in power and keep their people from opposing, or trying to come here to get away from the economic ruin and disaster that always comes with being a territory whose resources are funneled to a Nation that already gourges itself on them. Unless they're wealthy and want to participate in activities that further enrich other wealthy people, then that's cool. They can use their US Gold Memeber card to get in
