You have to wonder how much government information is out there that is similarly badly protected. Including what DOGE got. I keep wondering when that will start showing up on the dark web.
The Icepick leak wasn’t a sophisticated hack...of a hardened system. It was a personnel directory. If that’s how DHS guards its OWN roster...I wouldn’t assume the data DOGE pulled from Treasury...SSA...and OPM... is sitting behind anything sturdier.
The uncomfortable part...is we may NEVER know when it leaks. Government data on the dark web...doesn’t announce itself; it gets SOLD...QUIETLY...to people who’d rather you didn’t find out.
The Department of Peace made noise because they WANTED TO. The next crew...yeah...they might not.
It gets harder every day for the people in this country to know which is which. I'm just trying to do my part to make sure we can create more clarity for ENOUGH of those people...to make some kind of difference.
Entire chunks of this article are missing for me, but I think it’s because I don’t have a strong enough signal - my neighbor is literally 10 ft. away, but sometimes I don’t connect well. Other apps besides Substack are acting weird, too. Will check again in the morning. Looks like I’ll be prepping for next job and reading the kindle instead of interacting here. Shoot. TTYL, guys. Hope your weekend is winding down well.
This really blows the lid off of some of the stuff we have all wondered about. I would not want Kobe on the receiving end of this leak. It only makes sense since DOGE and then the current criminal clown car regime fired all the fine folks that kept us safe and informed. Who needs intelligence people or the spy surveillance people working in our government so that we know what the enemies are doing and of course don't forget the intelligence diplomatic peeps. Thanks for finding this for us...
Great post, Jack, and your explanations, as always are even better. Thank you.

That's valuable feedback. If people don't understand what I'm writing about...I've wasted their/your time!

Robot Bender...great question.
The honest answer is...probably a LOT.

Thanks for bringing attention to this...truly.

The House of Cards is certainly swaying…
CC...it is. It definitely is.

Thank you Jack for cutting through the confusion to show us what is worthy of our undivided attention and what is not! 💯👍
You're welcome, Elizabeth.

Damnit...sorry to hear that, Rae.
Thanks for giving it a whirl this evening. It'll be waiting for you in the morning!
Sleep well:)
