https://malcolmnance.substack.com/p/breach-the-great-trump-signal-screwThe bullshit piles up so fast youd need wings to stay above it. - Martin Sheen as Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now.
Apparently, I can't write my deep dives this last week because the Trump administration decided that every day needs to be a new outrage. I'm in the middle of a very serious analysis of the potentiality for the United States to be at war on a massive scale in the next 30 days. Check my next sub stack which should be out in the coming day. I'll let that tickle you.
In the meantime, it turns out that the strikes the United States carried out against Yemen a week ago were likely compromised Technically, they were compromised because the national security advisor of the United States, former Green Beret Colonel Mike Waltz, accidentally included a senior editor from The Atlantic magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg, into a high-level group chat. This chat included Vice President Jhd, Vance, National Security Advisor Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, and Donald Trump's personal envoy to stop the war in Ukraine, Steve Witkoff.
FYI Witkoff was LITERRALY IN THE KREMLIN WITH HIS PHONE AT THE TIME!
There have been many perspectives on the implications of this breach, but I spell out that as a professional signals intelligence intercept operator, I will explain how our enemies could have heard every word these people have spoken in secret from the day they were nominated for their jobs.
Every word they have ever said in secret could have been compromised.
We are royally screwed with this group of incompetents.

HIs shouting is warranted. All the maladministration's people on that call must be fired. Then prosecuted for treason.
I'm OK with hanging, too.
