T]he security of the Nation is not at the ramparts alone. Security also lies in the value of our free institutions. A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know."-Judge in Pentagon Papers case.

The Atlantic · Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on SignalBy Jeffrey Goldberg

#Secrets #classified #TopSecret #Signal

At 2300L on March 26, 2025, I am going to release all the Top Secret documents I have stolen. How am I going to do this? On the #SignalApp, of course. It seems safe to me now the Trump Admin has endorsed this method of a Classified Document release.

Text me if you want a copy and I'll email them to you.

And obviously, this is just SATIRE.

The accidental leak of war plans to a journalist is shocking, but it's part of a much bigger pattern, Trump, and even more his clown college of appointees and hangers on, mostly lack any knowledge of operating in a security/intelligence environment. There will be more leaks, and more, and...the leak adjacent. I listened to a bit of Trump's announcement about Boeing getting the new advanced fighter contract. There was this bit where he started to tell the price, because -- bragging with amounts is his jam, and then stopped himself. This was followed by "I can't tell you the price, because that would give away the size of it. It's a good size." He can't help himself throwing out hints to how "best" it (HIS accomplishment!) is. That's also his nature.
Now, I don't know the meaning of that, I'm an aviation watcher, but not an expert, or a foreign analyst with files of other information. but foreign experts probably will. His statements shrink the box of unknown into which foreign intelligence may be trying to penetrate (if it hasn't already leaked, possibly from earlier incompetence). It may well have provided the last bit of information to figure out the details of the fighter and its capabilities, or it may provide them a target on which to focus future intelligence experts. And we know how he leaks secrets regularly to his wealthy peers, so this probably isn't the beginning of it, and it won't be the end.
Even as he was speaking the words, I could imagine the CIA and others safeguarding the fighter's secrets banging their heads on the table in frustration. Trump is an idiot, and telling him an important secret is like telling it a talkative five-year-old.
(Full disclosure, my wife and I have a small number of shares of Boeing in our retirement account, and even I'm not sure how I feel about trusting Boeing with this contract, but I trust them more than Trump.)

I don't get why people presume that Pierre Poilievre's refusal to get security clearance means that CSIS hasn't investigated his background.

You can bet that CSIS investigates anyone they want to.

What his refusal is doing is keeping him from seeing government secrets, and it is saving him from having to promise not to blab.

Maybe he knows that he is terrible at keeping track of what he is allowed to talk about.
