Thought I've had the last couple days about all of this stuff the DOGE twirps have been doing to all the government agencies: as reckless, cruel and downright stupid as their removal of code has been, I'm worried about what they could add.

Backdoors, ransomware, deadman switches. Heinous shit.

VADM stands for Vizeadmiral (Vice Admiral), just to be clear for people who are not familiar with this stuff and might think that it's his name. He served in the now disfunct fast attack craft flotilla during his career, whose main operating ground was the Baltic Sea.

The UK is reportedly helping to develop two uncrewed maritime vessels — the “Wasp” and the “Snapper” — for use by Ukrainian forces, which have achieved notable successes against Russian naval assets in the Black Sea as "one-way attack" 😉 munitions.

Since yesterday a Swedish warship, likely a VISBY stealth corvette is showing flag south of Sweden.

Swedish navy is shy on the AIS, so hard to say if anything else than having the transponder on is unusual.
Also, can't say certain ship or even class, cos they switch MMSi-number all the time.

Elon Musk's belated discovery of England's "grooming gangs" scandal made him imagine a cover-up, @helenlewis.bsky.social writes. "His thinking seems to be that if he didn’t hear about the scandal during the 2010s, then surely no one else did, either."

The shadow ship 'Jazz' broke down three times on its journey from Russia towards the North Sea - and all three times were above or in the close vicinity of undersea cables, including the C-Lion 1. Several defense analysts say this is beyond unusual and suspect. The ship is now in Skagen, Denmark.

So Rheinmetall relocated its production from Switzerland to Unterlüß in Germany in 2023.”

More interviews with witnesses to the Douma chemical attack in 2018 providing more details of how they were forced to lie about the chemical attack in public by Syrian and Russian officials. Those lies were lapped up and regurgitated by the usual useful idiots in the West.
The 2018 Syrian chemical attack witnesses who testified in The Hague all told us they were FORCED to lie by Russian officers.

They showed us PROOF they were flown to Moscow and forced to write statements saying the attack never happened.
