I read a bunch of Mario Puzo books years ago and one of the things that he wrote about quite frequently was how the Cosa Nostra would never use the phone. If they had any “business” dealings it was always face-to-face no phone.
In the military when you’re in foreign ports or having casual conversation there were/are certain things that you are not supposed to talk about because you don’t know who is listening and sometimes you might not even know who you’re talking to... It’s called OPSEC.
The funny thing about OPSEC is that a lot of people that work in government, not the military, but in government really don’t care who they’re talking to or what they’re talking about. They completely ignore OPSEC and think nothing of it.
HRC was a prime example of ignoring OPSEC, she lived and breathed security violations like it was something akin to burning her bra in the 60s.
The every day military puke is keelhauled first and then drawn and quartered slowly if they so much as breathe ignorance of OPSEC. But federal workers are for some reason completely immune to the Crime and Punishment in regards to their security infractions. It’s sickening really.
Next would be the Press. For ages they used to have to beg the Press not to release something that was highly classified. And for the most part editors back during the WWII complied. But now I don’t think they would. The media wants the scoop so damn bad they don’t care who or what gets killed because they let out information that was classified.
Yup. Nearly all the cabbies in Washington DC are Somali. I asked the one American cabbie we had if any of his fares discussed classified info in the back seat while he was driving. ‘Most of them’ he said.
