  • The DoD will soon be requiring itself and Contractors to start following Rev 5 of the NIST SP 800-53 Risk Management Framework. In this revision are more robust controls for Supply-side security, which the DoD has been trying to incorporate for over 10 years.

    Americans should know that the military and DOD and it’s contractors do their best to purchase authentic hardware from reputable vendors, but there are exceptions and alternate procurement allowances if the need is great and the standard more secure lines are unavailable or simply on back order.

    It’s usually then that some of the fake hardware makes it into use





  • Biden didn’t ask Trump to sell National Security secrets to the Russians.

    Biden didn’t ask Putin to trade those secrets to Iran.

    Biden didn’t ask Iran to use said secrets and launch an attack on Israel to start a war that the U.S. would be forced to support in order to take away resources and attention from Putin’s war in Ukraine.

    But Biden IS a Zionist.

    You can criticize him for his support of Palestinian genocide, and rightly so. But you would be sadly mistaken if you withhold your vote for Biden and allow a Trump Presidency, who would not only continue the Palestinian genocide, but allow a Ukrainian one and a Taiwanese one as well… And perhaps fully and finally bring Totalitarianism to the U.S. since why not, he made it so close on January 6th anyways.








  • I listened to the 50h audio book in preparation for the TV series. I really hope they can do a good job of visualizing the subtlety between character’s actions, thoughts and hidden motives.

    The book was also pretty visceral in a few scenes it depicted (The Cellar, The Portuguese Ship, The Torture), I really hope they don’t shy away from those. The clash between civilization and barbarity is something that you don’t see very often, and my fear is that the show will spin the Feudal era of Japan as some passive golden era, when it really was a powder keg of war, death, and natural disaster.

    That’s karma, eh?
