By the way: Signal is not as secure and private as Mr. Goldberg is saying... there are better solutions with the same level of usability for journalists... take a look at #Threema .
Does he? Really?
"Signal is an open-source encrypted messaging service popular with journalists and others who seek more privacy than other text-messaging services are capable of delivering."
🤔🤷♂️
Showed this to my veteran husband (formerly during career) with the Top Secret clearance. His mind was blown. All of our minds should be blown and we should hold these idiots responsible.
The UK Conservative government operated by WhatsApp during Covid. Attracted by "delete after" and, dumbasses, thinking encryption means "secure". Even those tits weren't stupid enough to accidentally include a journalist, and an active military operation is far more serious than buying PPE off mates
Makes sense. They have an easier time controlling dumb people. Making education even worse is their goal, they want biology out and bible bullshit in. They want us sick, poor, dying, and stupid enough to believe they're still on our side.
The bible belt has been sagging for a long time. I remember when No Child Left Behind passed, it tanked public schools almost immediately. My parents moved me from the only good school I ever went to (and my friends, my home) and didn't listen when I told them the new schools were not preparing us.
Incredible. Back in the days where I had a security clearance (military contractor), they put a fear in us on the ramification of breaking protocol (getting fired/jail/fines) but I guess that was just for us nobodies. What has happened to securing our sensitive data?
We.wont.make.4.years!
People need to understand this is a coup and there will not be another election. People need to understand civilians are being taken NOW. People are disappearing and our military is being weakened by the orange.
Agree. Except for 'how compliant we have become' Watch what people do in any situation involving a bully: at school, at work.. you will see the same thing play out in small as we saw in the thirties in Europe, and now in the US. Humans are generally cowards. That's why bullies get away with so much.
I have been watching. I see people who tell others "your way is wrong" while doing it their way that won't work in the way they wish. Yes it matters it shows unity, but the bully needs a taste of their own medicine.
In the states we have been shackled by morality all violence bad hell protests /1
What's ALMOST as crazy is that we had a chance to have a set of trusted eyes, in the inner circle of modern American fascism, during a hostile govt takeover, & the dude just.....gave it away!
So foreign govts don't need hackers. They just have to text the cabinet members. I'm sure everyone feels as secure as a raw egg balanced on a toothpick right now.
@atrupar.com Hegseth may be the big fish in this pond but where is the reporting on Michael Waltz who actually added Goldberg to the chat? Pretty big snafu by a National Security Adviser.
Read it, don’t believe was accident. They want ppl to think they are doing shit and are competent at their jobs. This isn’t as sophisticated a group as they portray. Only conversation that happened in reality was Trump saying bomb them then Hegseth in between sips of his liquor told a General do it
Wonder if Signal is a DOD-NSA authorized messaging app. I’m going to take a wild guess and assume it’s not authorized for government use. Especially not classified messaging.
Thank you for this gift article. I refuse to pay for paywall on news organizations any more. Just won't. If they can't make it even with adverts, then it can't be that important. If it's national security level, that which could have a real impact on my life, I shouldn't have to PAY for that.
Journalists have to make a living. 🙄 Obviously we can't all subscribe to every worthy publication, but people can't just do intensive reporting in their free time after their shift at McDonald's.
I worked in the industry. Print advertising was extremely lucrative, that's how they did it. Most publications staggered as the transition online accelerated. The news business has been hanging on by its fingernails a long time. From 2014. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-decline-of-newspapers-in-four-charts/
If you wonder why your local paper sucks or disappeared -- less advertising, fewer subscribers. Less money to pay salaries. Fewer editors and reporters. Quality declines. More subscribers and advertisers drop. It's a vicious spiral.
I don't wonder that. It's plainly obvious. Once it was available online, I no longer needed to pay for it to be delivered to my home, and could access it online. The paper version included adverts, that I could choose to read, or ignore. Same with the online version (for a time, then they shoved...
One thing that I've yet to see explained. Waltz added Goldberg on Signal prior to adding him to the group; that's two instances where he would have had to select Goldberg's name, intentionally interact with his information in some way. Either there's another Goldberg, or it wasn't an error.
Ignoring the obvious... if the House/Senate Dems can't figure out how to shout about this and only this for the next six months, I have no idea what to tell you.
Yes, and these guys were using their own phones.
And not only russia. China, North Korea, Iran and of course Israel are likely doing it.
And now we can also add Canada, UK and France and Germany to the list...
If it’s being used by people who cant keep track of who they’re sending it to, it doesn’t matter if it’s encrypted, it’s unsecured. These geniuses hacked themselves.
There is so much wrong with this, however, the biggest sin by far is the use of 🙏 emojis. There is nothing that brings out more loathing than receiving or seeing a prayer emoji on social media.
or, option 2) we include a journalist to document our breaking of multiple laws, and we look like total drunken hacks that don't care about the safety of our military men and women.
Speaking of which, Dear Leader had the *original* Declaration of Independence sent to the White House and has it hanging in the Oval Office. What are the odds he'll return it once he finally leaves?
Yep.
"Trump is displaying a copy of the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office after requesting it from the National Archives, according to a photograph he shared on Monday"
Surely this will make Republicans understand the president is dangerously incompetent and will call for his impeachment...oh wait, they only do that over Democrat trivialities.
I will wager large sums that US RW media will bury or whitewash this and not one of these incompetent arseholes will be held to account. They can fucking shove her emails down their hypocritical throats.
Good Lort. This makes all the fuss over HRC's emails seem grossly disproportionate. I dare say a woman as Commander In Chief would not have let a breach such as this happen.

Five Eyes is over. It is in the interest of it’s members to dump the US immediately because of the security risk involved. US security and defense has become the laughing stock of the world. They are rolling over of laughter in Lubyanka. Their operation is a succes beyond their wildest dreams.
There should be immediate calls for Hegseth and Waltz to resign. There should also be weeks of Benghazi style hearings on this breach of national security.
Ed Martin (I think that’s his first name), the DC Judge, left me a voicemail about 4.5 minutes long for some reason. You would think they would be more careful about that.
Will the evening news do an adequate story about how messed up this from the platform that they used to actually sharing the information. Where is the reporting on the ground on our bombing them?
What a shame it would be if Goldberg had somehow managed to screengrab the messages that show the WH lying about classified material being shared on the Signal group.
No because he didn't publish those parts but he does have them. And whether or not it was classified, which it was, then government still can't use signal for government business. Nothing in Hillary's emails was classified either.
So - what I'm saying is that if - as the WH insists - no 'war plans' were circulated in this thread, there's no reason why Goldberg should't just go ahead and publish them - to demonstrate that the WH is lying.
They know that others aren't stupid enough to risk the lives of people by doing that but yeah, I see what you're saying. Better still, if what they say is true then they could release it themselves and Goldberg can compare it to what he has.
😂 no doubt! Thing is, what other conversations are they having that we don’t/wont know about‽ using signal to circumvent the record keeping that should be getting done. If we had a congress (functional) this would be stopped. Buuuut. . . 🤬😔
Oh gawd! Yeah, I honestly do NOT know how idiots could have seen the crypto bs and thought... HEY! Awesome I'm going to buy into that! It is SURE to make huuuuuge moneys! . . . 😳😳😳
Thank you for the gift link. I have subscribed to The Atlantic because they appear to be at the forefront of actual truthful news reporting at the moment.

Fire all of them.
Isn't Trump embarrassed that his cabinet is a bunch of reckless jackasses?

They are using Mobile Phones and Signal. Signal has encryption.... but in this day in age: not strong enough :D
I wouldn't wonder, if you find a bible app or candy crush on the same phones. or Temu

All these important operation communications were set to be automatically deleted according to the story

His cronies are saying they were being transparent.
Shit like this makes me hope that it will soon be proven that 2024 was not a fair election.
The incompetence is astounding.

No, he's surely not!!!
These are the secrets of the US at the highest level being thrown around in a drunk text.
A lot of it is garbled, as if Hegseth was drunk while typing it
It says something in the section marked “Quisling Rewards’ about a crown for Poilievre, and new horseshoes in Danielle Smith’s size
Why should any of our Allies have faith that intelligence communications are safe in the hands of this Administration?
Sorry, silly me, just a rhetorical question.
Why are they even discussing this by texting??!
All talk and whinging..
No really?
right?
But, there won't even be a public investigation...not one word.
Disgusting.
