Nextgov/FCW – OPM’s new email system sparks questions about cyber compliance – By David DiMolfettaJanuary 28, 2025 02:17 PM ET Until very recently, the Office of Personnel Management lacked the capability to send mass emails to all federal employees, a person familiar said, fueling concerns that the agency bypassed procurement rules.
Ken Klippenstein said that the new comms system made it possible for him to message the entirety of NOAA. That sounds off.
The desire to consolidate centralized power from the White House with impoundment and such. The anti-science, anti-education, and anti-expert stance of Trumpism. The heavy emphasis on having a cultural revolution for specifically MAGA culture. It really makes it seem like Trump is a lot like Chairman Mao and MAGA are maoists looking to have central control and destroy public education. I thought righties were against having central government? I guess every accusation really is a confession. The tech tycoon guru said outright he wants a covid lockdown to bring back a monarchist system, for example.
My letter to reps:
This federal central government email scheme that has been suddenly introduced seems like it’s sketchy. This email system needs to be investigated. Where did it come from and who really controls it? Were proper procurement rules followed? The Trump administration is looking more and more like a Maoist totalitarian regime with the centralization of power with a central government, also the anti-education and anti-expertise stance. Very peculiar.
