the shitler youth of doge

“DOGE”‘s Shitler Youth committee includes white nationalists, misogynists, and – naturally – probable criminals. Here’s some in-depth storytelling about “Path Network,” the “startup” where Edward Coristine was previously working. This is only one of many gems in the post:

My first interaction with the founder, Marshal Webb, was in 2016 when the company was called “BackConnect’. … a lot of his knowledge came from the fact that he was personally hosting the threat actors’ infrastructure, therefore had direct insight into the botnet. […]

At some point shortly after, a DDoS-for-hire service got hacked and its entire customer database along with all DDoS attack logs was leaked online. One of the records traced back to an employee of his DDoS mitigation firm, and from a combination of attack logs and corroboration with customers, it was determined that they had been launching DDoS attacks against businesses, then cold calling them to sell DDoS protection services.

Honestly there’s no way these fash bastards aren’t looting Federal records exploitation purposes. Even aside from the fascism, they’ve got their hands on the biggest information drop the world has ever seen and they’re absolutely going to use it. There’s simply no way they don’t.

And I want to be clear about something: I speak as someone who was once what one might call part of the problem. To be clear, never for money! Only for lulz and actual curiosity. But did I hoover up all the spare info I could get even if I never intended to use even a little of it? Hells yeah I fucken did, which is how I had bullshit like IBM mainframe FORTRAN libraries. Did anyone want that? No. Did I have a use for it? No. Did I ever think I would? No! Did that stop me? Oh hells no.

It wouldn’t stop these guys, either. And the difference is these guys hang full-time with actual criminals, and this data is actually crazy valuable, so you know it’s for the money.

Lock your goddamn credit down, folks. At a minimum. And do everything else you can think of to protect yourself, too, because there is going to be some incoming goddamn fire.

Are you ready to defy illegal orders?

Remember yesterday, how I wrote about the Musk/Trump/Vance administration defying court orders and black-letter law?

We’re there.

A federal judge on Monday said the White House has defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump White House was disobeying a judicial mandate.

The ruling by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island federal court ordered Trump administration officials to comply with what he called “the plain text” of an edict he issued last month.

Particularly of Federal workers, but not just of Federal workers, I ask:

Are you ready to defy illegal orders?

Best get to it.
