  • There's no reason to make these people pretend-soldiers. You can make them US Army contractors if they need to work with the army. You can make them DoD or CIA or NSA federal employees. There are already avenues for war mongering businessmen to take to work with the military.

  • ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans

    Jump

  • I was initially confused about the source of this report, as all it says is that "The new rules, obtained by the Guardian [...]" Without sharing the new rules they obtained verbatim or linking to any VA guidance or statements or anything actually useful...

    But it looks like this is more a removal of patients' protections rather than an explicit allowance of discrimination. Not that there's a practical difference between those things. Anyways if anyone is confused on how this exactly happened like I was, this yahoo article seemed to explain it better IMO:

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/va-doctors-refuse-treat-dems-151419852.html?guccounter=1

    VA hospital bylaws previously barred medical staff from discriminating against patients “on the basis of race, age, color, sex, religion, national origin, politics, marital status or disability in any employment matter,”

    ...

    But now, in response to President Donald Trump’s January executive order on “gender ideology,” “national origin,” “politics,” and “marital status” have been removed from the list

  • Lots more data harvesting. Lots more AI. Lots more malware.

    My partner isn't tech savvy. I asked them to type "CPU-Z" into the task bar and instead of it opening the installed CPU-Z on their computer, the first suggested result was a download link for CPU-Z. They clicked it to download CPU-Z and got full-on AI-suggested malware that forced us to nuke their PC

  • I mean the military doesn't train you on how to cheat a polygraph, but it's also not really necessary. The polygraph is security theater and people slip by it all the time in the intelligence community without trying.

    There are unclassified quarterly audits on how effective the polygraph is at catching criminals on DOD security clearance polys. The funniest audit I saw was a guy who was smuggling drugs to Texas from Mexico since the '80s, passed a dozen polygraphs during his time doing that, and then admitted to drug running during his polygraph like 35 years later because he felt like it before retiring.

    There was an old beardy white fuck who was a polygraph examiner at my job. He swore the polygraph wasn't security theater and that it could tell when people were lying. I'd always ask him about the quarterly audits showing people "beating" the machine for years and get into fights with him. That dude also said his job was like "welfare for white people".

  • One story about this for you. MI during the first Trump presidency. There was much said in my office when he tweeted top secret satellite imagery in 2019. My chief went around the shop after this and sat with everybody, and made sure they knew what happened, how this leak got an Intel source burned, how much time/money/effort was wasted from that burned source, how much harder it will be for us to keep the boots-on-ground out there safe, etc.

    The tone of the workplace was set after that: "We are here to do our job and keep the guys in the field from getting killed. Our leaders have, and will continue, to make that mission difficult."

  • No matter what the protocol is, the chat is completely vulnerable once a single chat member's phone gets infiltrated. There's not a set of higher value targets in the world than the US president and his cabinet for actors like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and even Israel.

    There is a reason national defense related discussion is meant to happen exclusively on a locked-down High-Side network, on exclusively locked-down High-Side equipment that exists exclusively in locked-down High-Side locations.
