The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Want to know exactly who the two transplants from England and British politics, Steve Hilton and his wealthy wife, Rachel Whetstone, are? Just Google them. We do not need a Brexit situation in California to destroy our economy and no one needs another traitorous Fox News host in any government.

2/ I was unaware of this until @lucyham.bsky.social documented it. She deserves full credit. Hilton’s wife, Rachel Whetstone, is the granddaughter of Antony Fisher, who created the Atlas Network to spread his political project. lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-atlas-...

The Atlas Network’s dynasty is coming for California
The Atlas Network’s partners have manipulated our politics and debate for over 50 years for the Mont Pelerin Society’s neoliberal “thought collective.” The family behind it is a dedicated dynasty.
