      Threatening him directly. “Talk about this or else.”

      I love Dan. A true IT nerd hero! His explanations are plausible. And, his lawyer:

      “There are others in other agencies who have witnessed things similar to this.”

      Let that sink in.

  • Anyone with 2 connected brain cells understands that:

    Trump = Russian asset = Russian infiltration into every aspect of U.S. gov’t.

    Only a matter of time before Russia and China take over and divvy up the U.S.

      Mine are not connected. I don’t understand the winning strategy of most billionaires. How do they maintain their wealth when Russia and China take over the USA? How can the people who own the media let Trump be elected if it means that they will lose their wealth?

      • Their greed makes them think they’re untouchable. When Trump and D.C. let Putin & China do whatever they want those that can flee certainly will with all those billions saved in banks around the world.

    Should be noted that the whistleblower’s disclosure was accompanied by a cover letter from his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of Whistleblower Aid, which said that, after he raised concerns internally about DOGE’s inroads into the agency, he received a physically taped threat on his door containing personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog.

    The claim is that Starlink is compromised by Russia, and DOGE is sending all private data it extracts from agencies via Starlink, including sensitive Department of Energy data.

      Not the whole claim.

      “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.”

        Wouldn’t surprise me if none of that shit was encrypted and it got manipulated on the fly. Not asking for any recounts was one of Kamala’s biggest mistakes. It should really be standard practice to do at least a spot check.

      I believe the allegation is that DOGE+Musk+Starlink=Russia? Kind of hard to tell because there’s a lot in there. I don’t think it’s saying Russia compromised Starlink, but that these people are sharing data and access with Russia. Some details or logs would help.

      Seems clear Musk is as compromised as Trump by Russia. The cold war never ended. America just stopped fighting.

        Tbh, I’m not convinced either of them are compromised by Russia in that sense (though wouldn’t be surprised, to be clear. We pretty much know Trump has assaulted and raped underage girls; I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk has also). I think they’re both just scared little boys who are trying to impress who they see as a big, strong man, in order to get the kind of fatherly approval that they never received from their actual fathers. They’re both childishly impulsive and both try comedically hard to be seen as strong and capable, and then get emotional when they see that image being challenged.

      Yes, just pasting from the article for reference:

      In addition, Bakaj told Tapper DOGE employees also made the mistake of using Elon Musks’ Starlink satellite connection to transfer data, which he believes is heavily compromised by Russian intelligence.

      “From our understanding, Russia has a direct pipeline through Starlink, which means everything going through Starlink is going to Russia,” Bakaj said, adding this potentially includes nuclear regulatory material.

      It is genuinely upsetting to watch from the outside as a cold war baby who has visited the states a heap of times and is really fond of the place but this about sums it up.

        You have to stand up and fight the tyranny. Id like to tell you that peaceful things or court action would help, but I think you better start reading up on the second amendment.

      What I find funny is that one of the favourite memes of the maggots is that painting of the fall of the Roman empire, you know that weak men create weak times bullshit. Meanwhile they’re clearly the ones making that meme come true.

      Some will. I swear, if donvict comes out with a nice little Heaven’s Gate goodie bag for the base: with donnie-branded black Nikes, a self-castration kit, and a “special” cocktail to join donnie on the magical UFO in the sky, a non-zero amount of them would crash the servers buying it up, cut off their own nuts and pound that cocktail, just to “own the libs”.

      Not even being all that facetious here - we all saw how they behaved over Covid.
