The Wire - July 16, 2024

this is the wire for 2200 Zulu July 16th 2024 presiden is routine information cut off is 2100 bottom line up front hthi attacks continue to escalate in Red Sea Us Secret Service under scrutiny for security concerns expressed in the wake of trump shooting beginning with international events in the Red Sea Horn of Africa region hthi attacks on commercial shipping continue to escalate yesterday afternoon hthi forces successfully attacked the merchant vessel Chio lion a Liberian flag tanker this attack was carried out via unmanned surface vehicle in a similar manner as the merchant vessel tutor which was sunk a few weeks ago analyst comment the status of the lion remains unclear however the houthis released a video of the attack showing the detonation of the USV against the hole of the lion from this footage it is likely that the lion suffered extremely severe damage during this attack administrative note as a reminder sycom and other US government agencies have modified the term unmanned surface vehicles to be uncrewed surface Vehicles due to the do 's policy on gender neutral language this policy to modify doctrinal Warfare terms has been in place for some time but frequently causes confusion among those who are unaware of the stripping of the suffixes men or man from certain terms most of the time the acronym Remains the Same however keyword searches throughout military Doctrine are made more challenging by the altering of such language this should be considered when conducting independent research on the hum front in the United States CNN has claimed that President Trump's security detail has been increased inreased due to an alleged Iranian plot on his life analyst comment this is overwhelmingly likely to be a lie intended to detract from the security concerns observed over the past few days in Texas Recovery efforts continue in the wake of the damage caused by Hurricane Barrel crime has increased substantially in some areas as many linemen have reported being attacked while trying to conduct repairs on electrical transmission lines in Pennsylvania questions remain unanswered regarding the Trump assassination attempt with what little information that has been released resulting in even more question questions for instance the director of the US secret service has provided more information regarding the reasoning behind why no security presence was on the roof occupied by the shooter Us Secret Service director cheel stated that the pitch of the roof presented a follow Hazard risk so it was not occupied by Security Forces before the incident even though it was identified as a security risk analyst comments for this wire over the next few weeks Us Secret Service will likely seek to engage in narrative shaping to prevent the truth from coming to light for one the claims of the pitch of the roof occupied by the shooter being too Steep and presenting a fall Hazard are almost certainly false as that roof was less steep than an adjacent rooftop already occupied by Us Secret Service cat team while the old adage of never attributing to malice what can be ascribed to incompetence is certainly true we must ensure that the inverse is not attempted by the US secret service within the information space over the past few years it has become clear that the knee-jerk reaction by most federal agencies when faced with scrutiny is to lie even regarding easily verifiable information this while not surprising unfortunately influences the lessons learned by the average person who seeks to reduce the risk of tragedy occurring again though purely speculative it must be considered that lying so openly and deliberately about a roof pitch being too steep would bring about complaints of Dei practices incompetence Etc anything but malice somewhat ironically the US Secret Service lying to make themselves seem like incompetent diversity hires because that narrative is somehow more palatable than the truth is a concerning detail that is likely to be overlooked as all sides Express the somewhat Justified outrage over practices observed during this incident this concludes the wi for 2200 Zulu July 16th 2024
