First day on the job leading cmmcab.org as CEO. Honored and enthused to have this role. Much work to be done TOGETHER to reduce cyber risk to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Let's build this ecosystem and do our part to protect DoD and our national security...

@TeganMathis mmmmmm m

Once you understand that the JFK assassination was a classic jailhouse plot to exact revenge on both John F. Kennedy & Fidel Castro, you will not only be able to identify the Dealey Plaza Tramps with confidence, but you will know exactly what you're talking about. (Read on.) First of all, the three Dealey Plaza tramps were not three random people. They were three people pursuing a very specific goal: They wanted to remove John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro from power via what was / is called Plan Judas. The Dealey Plaza tramps were Howard Hunt, David Christ, and Frank Sturgis. HOWARD HUNT, a CIA officer, was a key Bay of Pigs planner. Manuel Artime, a Cuban exile, was his best friend and golden boy. Hunt had envisioned Artime leading Cuba once they deposed Castro. Instead, Artime ended up in Castro's political prison on the Isle of Pines (the Presidio Modelo). They both blamed Kennedy. DAVID CHRIST, a CIA operative, was already doing hard time on the Isle of Pines when Artime arrived in 1961. Artime and Christ shared common cause in hating both Castro and Kennedy, as Christ spent almost three years there before the President finally got him out. (The first five months of Christ's imprisonment occurred during the Eisenhower administration.) FRANK STURGIS was another close associate of Hunt. With regard to Cuba, Hunt was a CIA officer, and Sturgis was a CIA operative. Fidel Castro was their career-defining enemy. Harry Williams, a Bay of Pigs leader who later became Bobby Kennedy's best friend among the Cuban Exiles, also spent hard time on the Isle of Pines. Though he was released earlier than the others (due to horrible injuries), he was there at the same time as Christ and Artime. Are you piecing this together? The JFK assassination plot, which was actually a plot to kill both JFK and Castro (Castro in faux retaliation), was hatched in Castro's Isle of Pines prison by Harry Williams, Manuel Artime, David Christ, and others. They had plenty of time, and even more motivation, to piece it all together. All they needed was somebody like Alexander Haig -- somebody situated at the very top of military / intelligence power -- to run the thing. (See my X timeline.) Harry Williams was the key to the plot. In 1963, Harry tricked RFK into approving an anti-Castro CIA plot. Then they turned that (fake) plot against JFK. Williams was the Judas in Plan Judas. He, his Dealey Plaza-tramp friends, and a few others exacted revenge on the President while convincing the President's brother it was actually his fault. The CIA unwittingly covered up the crime for the assassins because they thought the murder was CIA blowback. LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover prevented the faux retaliation Against Fidel Castro. (See Against Them and Sins of the Vicar.)

@ashtonforbes hmm

Top CIA Physicist Hal Puthoff says that Robert Forward showed in 1984 that ZPE can be tapped via the Casimir Effect for energy and spaceflight propulsion. There's enough energy in an empty coffee cup to vaporize all the Earth's oceans.

Reminder about size of Ukraine. h/t @ALanoszka

Congrats to @kierstentodt on joining @CISAgov as Chief of Staff. @CISAJen continues to build a up a great team.

Who wants to come work @CISAgov in the National Risk Management Center? Jobs close out 13 September... GS-15 program manager, Planning & Coordination Division usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDet… And two GS 13-14 Data scientist jobs usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDet… usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDet…

Many thanks to @FRoseDC and @GovMattersTV for the opportunity to discuss CMMC progress and the importance of a unifying cybersecurity standard for Defense Industrial Base companies in support of DoD...

Ransomware is wreaking havoc on businesses across America. @CISAgov and our partners launched a new one-stop location with tools and resources for organizations of all sizes today. Visit StopRansomware.gov and take steps to avoid becoming the next victim. #StopRansomware

Congrats to Jen Easterly on her confirmation as the next @CISAgov Director. The perfect leader for an increasingly important agency. Bravo to Brandon Wales to leading the agency the last 8 months. Excited to watch this team continue to do great things. #DefendTodaySecureTomorrow

I advocate don't pay the ransom for 3 reasons: Practical: you'd be doing a deal w/ a criminal, trusting them to leave/give back access. Technical: you'd be buying a decryption tool that's not guaranteed to work. Ethical: you'd be an active investor in a criminal enterprise.

Will likely move official Tweets to new CMMC-AB account soon. Keeping this one to continue following the interesting life and times of @C_C_Krebs.

Ransomware is increasingly threatening public & private networks, causing data loss, privacy concerns, and billions of dollars spent on recovery. Today we launched a campaign to reduce the risk of #ransomware: cisa.gov/news/2021/01/2…

Fantastic decision by @JoeBiden to nominate @NYCEMCommish Deanne Criswell as the next Administrator of FEMA. She has the experience, smarts, poise, and key relationships to excel in this critical role.

We’re launching a new cyber effort: The Systemic Cyber Risk Reduction Venture on developing actionable metrics to quantify cyber risk. This information will be used to reduce shared risk to the nation’s security: go.usa.gov/xAmuv #InfoSec #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement

In the Summer of '19 @mastersonmv and the @CISAgov elections team started the #WarOnPineapple to raise awareness about how #disinfo campaigns work. Step 5, "Taking the Conversation into the Real World," is what we saw on Weds when incited insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.

We called out #disinfo repeatedly before & after the election. Yet the President & his campaign/lawyers/supporters fanned the flames for their own selfish reasons culminating with today's objections followed by his video message. WHAT DID THEY THINK WOULD HAPPEN? They own this.

Looking forward to joining @AliVelshi on @MSNBC this evening in the 9pm EST hour to talk cybersecurity and election security. Plenty to discuss this week regarding the former; disappointing that the latter still even an issue needing to be addressed in the 3rd week of December.

This is the coolest damn thing ever! Terre Haute and ISU legend Duane Klueh, 94, from downtown ... literally. What a man, what a cool thing to do, and for a good cause.

This is an important position within an increasingly important Agency. CISA must attract the best and the brightest from the tech community...

Privileged this week to be chairing the 10th @OECD High-Level Risk Forum (HLRF). 37 market-economy democracies taking on big problems like COVID-19, digital risk to critical infrastructure, natural disasters, and climate change. Managing high-level risk is a collective endeavor!
