I had to open this in a private window to get it to stop trying to force me to sign in to Google to see it, but here's a link to a letter sent on behalf of a group of natsec professionals to the SSCI opposing NCTC director nominee Joe Kent due to his white nationalist activities. #NCTC #natsec #racism drive.google.com/file/d/1DX-u3

@TonyStark I don't want to sound ableist, given the whole #NatSec implications one may percieve #Musk to not be "mentally fit" for the roles and responsibilities he's currently in.

  • Responsible employers in rational juristictions would sent him home, request him to report in sick and apply for medical leave for rehab.

But Musk is a "Multi-#CEO" and #Billionaire in the #USA so we can all count on #TMZ showing his total collapse live on TV...

  • Lets just hope it doesn't involve any sort of (sexual) assault or other indecency but him being jailed and sentenced to sober up and #TouchGrass...

@ip6li @bsi @bnd @bwi @itzbund

Und um eins klarzustellen: Es ist nicht so als würde ich es per-se ablehnen für @Bundesregierung zu arbeiten.

Nur wenn ich faktisch qua #Technologiestack #Microsoft #Windows meiner #Pflicht zur #Vertraulichkeit (#MicrosoftRecall ist integrierte #Malware) nicht nachkommen kann ist dies weder mit #Berufsethik noch Berufshaftpflicht, Rechtsschutzversicherung, Amtseid oder #Verfassungstreue vereinbar!

Ob @bnd angesichts des #Trump - #Regimes und dessen Aktionen [gegen den #IStGH] und der #cyberfaschistisch|en Macht qua #CloudAct endlich Alarm schlägt was #GAFAM-Produkte oder generell #Technologie aus den #USA, besonders aber #Microsoft Produkte wie #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice & #WindowsServer angeht?

Und da ich nunmal #Bürger dieses Landes bin wird dies leider auch mein Problem - entgegen aller Warnungen meinerseits!

  • Was hindert die #US-Regierung daran Deutschland, die #EU oder den Rest der Welt mittels entsprechender Produkte in #Geiselhaft zu nehmen?

Oder ist jene #Abhängigkeit von der Laune und dem Guten Willen aus D.C. gar politisch gewollt?

@Andy_European Pure graft and abuse of power. Also a #NatSec risk. The upgrade to serve as Air Force One will likely cost more than the vehicle itself. Think about it: advanced military quality communications, EMP hardened electronics, defensive countermeasures, etc. etc. To reconvert it back to a civilian version (which I assume would be required) is another expense. And for Trump’s personal use “when he leaves office” (cough). Compared to eviscerating the #Constitution this is a small thing, but the in-your-face symbolism of corruption says one thing; “I’m above the law”

It took only about 100 days for Trump to make the U.S. so weakened that the Vatican felt free to choose an American Pope. By the end of 4 years of this drastic erosion we might assume some countries will feel quite safe in attacking the U.S. outright with impunity whereas in the past they kept their attacks to deniable activities in various sectors. They could literally pay Trump personally to do nothing in response. He's already set up the systems to do that out in the open. #corruption #natsec
