Secret Service Foils Massive Plot to Disrupt NYC/UN

[sahgwa]

An operation such as this (identification and response) does not get made public unless they want it to.
There's a narrative in play here...

Patriot Act 2.0+ 
'we need more control over your comms than ever people, to stop the blue haired trainny terror menace allied with the CCP and rabid Chinese Tik Tok Terror Toys. All comms will not only be tracked, we will also be doing real-time analysis of voice and brain wave readings via your devices and ensuring social compliance to social mandates using non lethal brain entraining technology for your own good.  And BTW we will also be implementing social credit score tied to your bank account using kleptocurrency blips'

That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus

For decades now, when the NYTimes has a cybersecurity story from anonymous government officials, they quote James A. Lewis to confirm it. This guy used to work for CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) but apparently has changed employers recently. Whenever I blog/tweet about bogus NYTimes cybersecurity stories, I point out this relationship with James Lewis. When you see anonymous government officials and James Lewis quoted in a NYTimes story, you are seeing government propaganda.

Another “expert” the NYTimes quotes is Anthony Ferrante [update]. He’s got the resume that the NYTimes loves. I’m famous among hackers for my technical expertise, but I would never be quoted in the NYTimes, because I don’t matter. The NYTimes only quotes people who matter, meaning, people involved at high levels of government, people with their resume posted on WEF.

Both of these “experts” claim things that are objectively silly. Ferrante says “my instinct is this is espionage” and “could be used for eavesdropping”. This is false, this arrangement cannot be used for eavesdropping and there’s nothing particularly related to espionage here. Lewis claims “only a handful of countries could pull off such an operation, including Russia, China and Israel”. That’s false, I can pull this off, personally. It’s just a SIM farm. Sure, there’s some capital involved, on the order of $1 million, but it could be setup and managed by a single person. It likely wasn’t setup all at once with that much money, but has been slowly growing for years as profits are funneled back into setting up more SIM accounts

I don't believe a damn thing coming from this administration. As a general rule I do try assume the exact opposite of whichever administration has the office. But at least with my past thought process I could somewhat get an answer as to what's goin on.
But this admin just does random shit with seemingly no real direction. Just political diarrhea coming from the golden toilet bowl of a Whitehouse.
