While Jimmy works at the ODNI this week, the DOD uses 1st year Intel intern Jimmy's brother Gary. Gary has a solid 6 months behind him as a privatized operator to carry out OSINT against Russian assets.
Do you think I'm exaggerating? My first thought is ole' Gary made a mess the US government was going to get taken behind the shed for. But, why would the DOD get behind this hacking operation and alienate their Commander in Chief? Why not invoke plausible deniability? Do they think Trump will take the ODNI use of private sector apprentices to heart and fire them?
This is part of an ODNI and DOD Intel policy change. The DOD has been using private citizens like ole' Gary for a while. Now, it almost seems like they bring these guys into a room and really chat them up before letting them loose to wreak havoc on society.
Ole' Gary, you are a supa' spy! Yes, you are. Yes, you are! Now go get me sum red Ruskies!
The US Needs Bounty Hunters For Cyber: Ex-DoD Officials Say
To defend 21st-century networks, should the US use the model of 18th-century privateers?
It seems Ole' Gary and the Podunk crew received new and improved titles. They are bounty hunters and privateers. This is immensely important and will be the subject of the next article in the series.
All they need to do is go back to the room and get chatted up again and they can start their new careers. I've been researching this cottage industry and watching it develop since 2015. The Privatized NSA Army is Attacking YOU!
According to the DOD, this function is supposed to do exactly what the DOD just did. The problem is it is more of an embarrassment to let ole' Gary and Jimmy loose in the press than it is to embarrass their direct commander and the highest executive according to the Constitution.
CIA morale plummets as Trump becomes president and CIA veterans say spat with Trump could have real-world consequences.
The problem is most of the morale slump is coming from private contractors that are doing the actual work. Contrary to popular belief, the CIA would be relegated to the level of Keystone Cops if they had real agents face forward online every day. So, what does this mean?
Ole Jimmy and Gary want to feel the part. They want to dress the part. They want to live the part. Their lack of GEDs just won't allow it to happen. Sorry, Jimmy. Sorry, Gary. The CIA doesn't offer apprenticeships. But, because they do work indirectly for the CIA, they pretend they are CIA and use their real CIA tools on their neighbors. We'll get into that in the next article.
If U.S. intelligence is questionable and untrustworthy, there is no single greater threat to the planet today. Members of an intelligence community who try to circumvent the democratic process should be prosecuted no matter who they are or who they are trying to undermine.- U.S. Intelligence Crisis Poses a Threat to the World (Part 1)
It's time for a quiz and let's see who's paying attention
Were Hackers Targeting Nuclear Facilities like Homeland Security Dept. and F.B.I. Say?
Or was it Jimmy and Gary again?
