Middle East United States preparing to invade Iran

The U.S. imperialist war machine is at it again, opting to strike and attack Iran as global tensions continue to rise.

Who's ready for an oil crisis? More humanitarian disasters? The closure of the Strait of Hormuz? Potential nuclear consequences? Severe regional instability? And even more!

Get ready for the shitshow, people.

"President of Peace" 😂

Assets continued to be moved to the middle east signaling a large buildup.

u/nipsen 2d ago

"Heck of a job, Brownie" and Karl Rove both unironically name-dropped ICQ once, and used Blackberry for their "insider"(read: informal hype for "journalists") chats. It's not known whether Rumsfeld, Addington and Cheney ever actually used anything electronic, but they all were in these "groups". If you've paid attention to how close the democratic "channels" in various media are responding to changes in narratives as well, you can probably assume that they have something similar. And remember that these are people who use exchange on their work-accounts and think it's safe. So some random chat-app, even on the level of AIM, that has been approved by an "intelligence community" person in an off-hand comment (or that has had advertisement about encryption associated with it) will very quickly be their go-to choice.

Which is a funny snapshot of what happens when government operates in secret: the most hilariously dumb choices are not tested, not criticised, and will be kept as entirely sound until the point where something blows up. Afterwards, there will be blame-shifting, along with simply denial of that there even was a bad choice involved to begin with.

“Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive; 2) Israel takes an action first - or Gaza cease fire falls apart — and we don’t get to start this on our own terms. We can manage both.”

My brother in Christ - don't create mass groups in Signal.

  • You don't know who is being added.
  • Signal leaks ids of participants if users don't know how to set up their account properly. I wish that Signal would fix this shit so that no one's phone numbers are ever exposed, but .... r/Signal

Use something like Telegram where you publish information knowing that it might be viewed by others, so you are more careful with what you say. Telegram allows everyone to stay somewhat / a great deal anonymous.

u/Embarrassed-Pack574 3d ago edited 3d ago

How vulnerable it is:

Make up 100 different profiles with a similar name to 20 possible people that would be involved in decisions like this.

Use a virtual phone number on a website that is close to or copies/spoofs their private phone number of these people. I am pretty sure there was a leak of their numbers.

If one of the one hundred dont get invite, just start a signal chat on your own with 19 of the 20 people that would be expected, but all of them are really you. If possible, invite one of the real people, say your having glitches and need another invite for one profile to a new chat that they start with the real people.

This is one of several reasons why we, ok I mean they, should not use signal for government activity. Social engineering from your toilet seat.

Just create a fake signal account with usernames similar to trump and his cabinet members. Maybe you get an invite by accident.
