MAD PAL: Suppose every global capital contained an armed WMD which would detonate if any disarming was attempted. Herman Kahn and others toyed with such.
Odd that Trump seems unaware his firing initiatives puts his family at grave risk, especially aggression against those TLAs who protect it. Dementia fostered by The Apprentice, ignorance of history, solipsism?
As a former high-level senior executive at NSA, I confronted the reality of NSA’s malfeasance; violations of the Constitution; 9/11 intelligence failures; coverup; many $billions in fraud, waste, and abuse; refusing to implement parts of the intelligence section of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 (delayed due to 9/11); misappropriation; corruption and compromising their own core mission and the national security of America, as they got blinded (and blindsided) by institutional arrogance and ego.
My first role, when hired by NSA through a competitive selection process (looking for outside expertise and experience to help accelerate NSA into the 21st Century), was assignment in their SIGINT Directorate as the chief of an out-of-whole-cloth creation by me, as the Senior Change Leader, of a highly agile Leadership and Communications Team.
I discovered and uncovered that many, many $billions in fraud and waste went down the drain on boondoggle programs like Trailblazer (among several) and a secret warrantless mass surveillance programs that fundamentally violated the inalienable privacy rights enshrined in the 4th Amendment for Americans and also bypassed the FISA statute; plus NSA covering up their role in the 9/11 intelligence failures.
Also attempted a rigorous and comprehensive review and catalog of every program, project and system at NSA and overseas mapped to approved expenditures (a real operational audit!) to determine the mission value for money, but completely stymied and shutdown because NSA did not want the transparency or exposure, even internally, and fear of it getting out to oversight stakeholders, let alone permit a full faith and comprehensive financial expenditure audit linked to the entire set of all operational activity at the Agency.
Sound familiar with other parts of government?!
Continuing the Euro-practice in the Americas, Africa, Asia, precipitating Hamas-like uprisings of the idlers' servants and slaves. Saudi's "The Line" a kooky imitation of central London, Paris, NYC, Moscow, Beijing.
Au contraire, Messr Trump, all your ugly glitzy global properties should be IDF-demolished to match Gaza. First, Trump Tower Manhattan, 2nd Mar-a-Lago. Option: fill them with immigrants. @TruthSocial
#BREAKING: Rep Raskin to #Maddow: "What I see are all the tell tale signs of a COUP. A coup is a seizure of state power by UNELECTED actors, who work to take over the critical infrastructure of government outside of the rule of law, and that's what I see as going on right now."

This is INSANE! ❄️☃️❄️
The Tokachi region in Japan experienced record-breaking snowfall, with Obihiro City buried under 1.2 meters (120 cm / 47 inches) of snow in just 12 hours as of the morning of February 4th. This marks the highest snowfall recorded in the country since records began and is three times the city's average February snowfall.

@iriejt No one in the racist GOP can do the racial purity work like unelected Soulless Musk. Plus Musk paid Trump $250 million to get the job. Nothing for him. But he wants to make America into what South Africa was and the GOP loves him for it - he’s the perfect deniable asset.

A clear view at the communications equipment of the new US Defense Secretary - similar devices are used at the US CENTCOM headquarters, which I discussed earlier: https://t.co/FgwXOSmUaV
Chopper pilot probably saw another aircraft rising shortly before the descending CRJ. Night vision goggles can be deceptive. Also the chopper was returning from a tiring mission, weary crew eager to finish. MTC.
Audio from crash you can hear the tower react:
So the helicopter pilot confirmed he had eyes on the CRJ coming into land, requested and received visual separation, then continued on the same course he was on and 15 second later collided with the CRJ?

Videos show an aircraft rising near crash. Army pilot with night visor goggles maybe mistook which to avoid. Night flight training to prevent errors. Returning to base pilots weary.
