I could buy a story like that, but it raises the question, what is he doing with twitter open and ready to post? Was he editing a daily post for them or something? Why was he browsing twitter with this account? Not jumping his case, just curious why strategic command needs a twitter guy that browses twitter all day. It’s like the dancing guy with Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It’s no big deal, but can anyone explain why?

It's obviously a lie to hide the coded message they put out. At least that's the impression that I get.

I don’t see that. Suppose you wanted to send some gibberish as a secret code. Why would you use that twitter account? I’m not saying they wouldn’t do something like that, but why such a high profile account that will be scrutinized so heavily? I’m just saying, lots of other legit government accounts that aren’t linked directly to stratcom.

It wouldn't matter if it is out in the open. There have been coded messages going out on shortwave radio, in the open for many years. The people sending and receiving those coded messages, in the open, are going to be using one-time pads. Very difficult to crack.

The article states that they are STRATCOMs Twitter Manager. Not totally surprised given the number of *Social Media Manager* roles that are available nowadays.

Dammit Biden! Get away from the computer!

As if Joe could figure out how to use one.

He was using speech-to-text. That's why it was incomprehensible.

That is totally plausible, lol

I wonder what happens if Biden accidentally falls asleep on the trigger button

The real question is did anyone try to login using that as the password just in case?

Odd that “Q acquitted” is the first thing cryptogram solver comes up with....
