New-to-me, from Micah Lee: TeleMessage Explorer: a new open source research tool. “I’ve spent the last week or two writing code to make sense of the massive hack of data from TeleMessage, the comically insecure company that makes a modified Signal app that Trump’s former national security advisor Mike Waltz was caught using. I’ve decided to publish my code as open source in the hopes that other […]

6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act

Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?

But #Trump’s new directive appears to envision a different approach, focused on US forces directly capturing or killing people involved in the drug trade.

Labeling #cartels as #terrorists allows the #US “to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, whatever, to target these groups if we have an opportunity to do it,” #MarcoRubio, Secy of #State & #NationalSecurity adviser, said Thursday in an interview w/the Catholic news outlet EWTN.

“That, unfortunately, is the direction that the Pentagon’s decisions are taking the U.S. armed forces.” — Eliot A. Cohen

“I almost felt like I was going to get in trouble for having read that document,” Larry Pfeiffer, a former senior #CIA & #WhiteHouse official, told the podcast “SpyTalk.” “Sources & methods could be easily inferred in almost every instance. … I don’t know if I’ve seen a document of that sensitivity so lightly redacted.”

The clash between Ricky Buria, Hegseth’s acting chief of staff, & Matthew A. McNitt, who coordinates personnel policy as #WhiteHouse liaison at the #Pentagon, appears rooted in Buria’s frustration with repeated pushback from the #Trump White House as he has attempted to fill positions in the #defense secretary’s office. It coincides, too, with the White House’s refusal to let Buria take over the powerful chief of staff job on a permanent basis.
