Continuing yesterday’s theme of fake official reasons….
Seen on Reddit, a former Minuteman missile operator has built a web resource to listen and track the network of messages going to missile sites. The messages are coded but the transmissions are openly audible on SHORTWAVE, 11175 KHz. According to him the network itself isn’t secret, just relatively unknown.
I wouldn’t have been shocked by this before the web; lots of clandestine stuff was happening on shortwave. Some of it was well understood, some completely mysterious. Even then, if I had thought about missile communication I would have presumed a private wire system for security and reliability. Western Union maintained a separate data web for government and military use.
Now it breaks a vastly bigger presumption.
DARPA justified the internet PRECISELY to carry messages relating to nuclear weapons and emergency operations.
In other words, the web was ONLY built for surveilling us and Hundred Flowers psyops, NEVER intended or used for the officially stated purpose.
