WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Members of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, eventually did gain access Saturday to the aid agency’s classified information, which includes intelligence reports, the former official said.
Musk’s DOGE crew lacked high-enough security clearance to access that information, so the two USAID security officials — John Vorhees and deputy Brian McGill — were legally obligated to deny access.
Arrest them. Clearest criminal conduct.
Between this and Gabbard, the US is not to be trusted with intelligence sharing.
because GOSH news coming out of the US has been getting wilder and more absurd, and it’s insane that they’re letting people like Elon get away with his own shady shit too…
Netanyahu has an arrest warrant out against him for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. He went to the US, where he was protected and facilitated by Donald Trump, who fully endorsed the Ethnic Cleansing Israel has been working towards in Palestine.
It takes a sick, sick person to defend or justify this.
Sounds legit. Shame that beavers can only build dams. If they had the same knack for roads and railways, our infrastructure would’ve been in peak condition by now.
We could do all of that too and in the same amount of time, if not better. The problem is, back in the Bronze Age, we invented this fake, imaginary resource called “money,” and have been crippled as a species ever since.
Considering the last two attempts we know of were by his own former supporters, I wonder if he’s given instructions to obliterate Alabama, or wherever.
Israel is pushing for a peace deal that would involve Hamas leadership going into exile to a third-party country in return for a permanent peace deal and full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Israeli Senior officials claim that Hamas has already agreed to give up civilian control and transfer the responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority based in the West Bank (which hasn’t had control of Gaza since Hamas uprising in 2007) or an independent committee. The main areas they’ve struggled in so far are Hamas agreeing to dissolve its military wing and the leadership going into exile.
Should a CONVICTED CRIMINAL be allowed to sanction an International Criminal Court? Because it rightfully put out arrest warrants for people who are committing Crimes Against Humanity?
Even without getting to that, who does this motherfucker think he is (God Himself, apparently) that he’s in any position to sanction an international organization? He’s the leader of a single country, not the world. Fucking idiot.
Well he keeps ranting about how he wants to add some area to US territory by force (military or economic):
Mexico
Canada
Greenland
Gaza
And like, the #1 rule of International politics since 1945 has been you are absolutely not, under any circumstances, allowed to acquire territory by force.
So it’s not really surprising that he wants to fight with the court that upholds that.
It’s true that the ICC is born from and competent on all Statute of Rome infractions, including war of aggressions.
But around 2000. And the US were never friendly toward it. It never was part of their recognized upholding of modern international politics. They are far from alone.
The US actions are more brusque, and escalatory but not that much of a change of order.
The main foundations of the “no (too much) war of aggression to control territory” post 1945 international order are still the UN security council.
And the various regional unions (EU. AU…).
The affirmation of its modern interpretation at the Suez canal makes the Panama side of the US stance tragically poetic though.
Because your main point stands: this international order is being reinterpreted, disrupted.
At least the default behaviours of its actors are.
It could withhold. break, be redistributed. or evolve.
