Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Daily Kos!

T his article shows the current damage done by Mr. Trump, and very significantly the long-term damage to the U.S. government and the entire country. For the free Western world, this is not an American own game, but a high treason of global significance.

Days before I was sending this eMail to [email protected], because I cannot find the resource "Quick Start guides". Than now as a member I triedto send as an eMail to Daily Kos, but it is not possible to find an adress. This trial No. 4 will hopefully work with more success. My original text is in german language, and the english text is automatically translatedwith the tool >DeepL

My thoughts are first intended as a suggestion for the author XAXNAR to follow up on one or the other train of thought and expand it for American purposes. I have not found the corecontent of my thoughts in the mainstreams of America, nor most recently in alternet.org.

Why do I write this letter as a German? I have been working in military reconnaissance in Germany for almost 40 years and I am familiar with the evaluation processes of informationand intelligence.

I am fixating on America's greatest enemy - Mr. Trump (and ... and ... and ...).

The USA is not alone with his ideas and spirits of freedom , human rights, human dignity and charity. The USis seen in a leadership role (not just financially or militarily), and many people have high expectations of that role. If the U.S. degenerates into a dictatorship, then a whole world of hopes for these values is shatteredas well. That is why Mr. Trump concerns all of us, including me.

Today I find this article: >https://dailysoundandfury.com/new-york-times-drops-100-megaton-print-bomb-on-trump/ A few lines down, read my fears about coming dead agents(or informants) - and you see they already exist. How many levels of responsible high traitors will have to be interposed for Mr. Trump to talk his way out again?

I External view

In my view, it is not so much the individual document that matters, but the reaction since then, and still to come, of all those involved at the state level and at the civil or civilrights level: when the enforcement of the most elementary security and secrecy rules seem so lax and so delayed, can such negligent behavior even be trusted to such a government? One of his most dangerous goals is to undermineconfidence in the administration of the state, that is, in the ability to govern. (He stands on a termite mound waving the MAGA flag, but inside (the GOP) thousands and millions of MAGA supporters are churning away at a (alreadyworm-eaten?) House (of Rep. ??)).

In all the press articles and the thousands of letters to the editor in many media (I haven't read the right-wing ones), the focus on the materially superficial and the confinementto paper, whether open or top secret, is dominant. Questions are raised, but not thought through to the end: Trump has never read anything properly, can he read the many boxes of paper, what does he do with them, is that moreor is that less than the Wikileaks documents? How many lawyers and document readers and document preparers does it take to get something usable or something blackmailable out of it for him. How much Artificial Intelligencesupport does he have to crystallize all the information from the texts and images? Can something extortionable be fished out of the jumble with exact timing?

The external structure and the instructions for action in the documents (and in the Wikileaks papers) alone give a good and deep insight into the "information infrastructure"of the American government administration.

The external makeup of the documents is likely to be available in whole or in part to interested hostile and solvent intelligence agencies. The facts described therein are virtuallyexposed by the theft. Names contained therein are exposed, actors / agents may have been "burned". I can imagine that Russian or Chinese etc. circles are currently holding back from blowing the whistle on the agentsas long as there is still a small chance that Trump will come to power again in 2024. If not, then Trump is worthless to the foreign enemy, and the agents lose their status as pawns and can also be eliminated. The coming deadare already throwing their grievances ahead to the (possible) candidate Trump - if he comes to power, they will be sacrificed by him, if who does not come to it, they will die too. - Even if this sounds cynical now: Theseare only individual fates.

Much, much more serious is the damage that has been done under the surface, is still being done and will continue to have an effect for 30 or 40 years.

(You as the press should get in touch with the NSA and the FBI and find out the deep reasons for this betrayal of secrets and trust and expose it as a warning).

II Inner view

Let me offer just a few (not complete) thoughts:

Large amounts of information converge in the White House and in government departments and other agencies, which are elaborately processed, organized for analysis purposes, and fedas raw data to many processors. This is not only information on actions, but also analyses of a state's potential and capabilities, forecasts of its ability to live and survive, and so on. Most interesting for the leadersof the state is the growth and change in the formation of opinions about the state-bearing personalities and about the state leaders themselves, recognizing strengths from it, recognizing mistakes and exploiting personal preferences(whether Putin knows whether he should be jealous of the North Korean?).

Every day new information is added to a fact, and also new hints, which can or must be assigned to already known facts. (It is certainly interesting to see what groups of topicsthe documents were collected on, and the guesses about these collection intentions and knowledge goals can help identify documents that are still missing and search for them in a more targeted way.) Why is Trump's entourageinterested in a mix of documents (open to top secret)? It is precisely because of this that knowledge growth can be tracked, and the names of the authors can certainly be used to filter out those suitable for GOP purposes.This type of personnel filtering based on author tracking is likely to be found at the state and local levels as well.

This evaluation process is a never-ending, unstoppable process. Individual aspects from this process can be stopped and analyzed in an elaborate way, and in such a case time is notso important (compare it with the legal processings of criminal trials). In the (military and political) evaluation process, however, life runs inseparably along, all possibilities of influence can be significant or becomeso, and the clerks and the decision preparers are inescapably involved in this process.

As with the media, the most contradictory information comes together on a matter. The writers and the subsequent editors and knowledge hierarchies in turn pack their conclusionsinto new versions of documents - and so, by reading many "loot" documents, one can follow this entire accretion of opinion-forming.

With each new point of view the level of knowledge and the cognitive ability of an editor also grows up, his trains of thought expand and perfect themselves, his thoughts and cognitions"mature".

With the creation of psychograms, the most important evaluators and the decision preparers or carriers can be determined to some extent in their behavior and ability - but also manipulated.Knowing the names of these top performers is important and significant in terms of blackmailability.

But knowledge of what has not been adopted in the opinion-forming process is also significant, i.e., what has been classified as insignificant, as not relevant, as outdated, as notdesirable, as not "supportive of the state. From this point of view, even from a document trash can still be drawn apt conclusions.

A good administration is characterized above all by the way of these reprocessing sequences, the logic chains, the conclusion processes and the speed of a decision preparation anddecision making (as they can be read out from single or many documents).

This mechanism of action of an administration or an evaluation body or a think tank is an important asset in a state organization.

III Long-term damage

Into the White House probably x-fold prepared and by many departmental knowledge enriched information is supplied, which is to be objective as far as possible, but depending uponpolitical Befindlicheit glossed or after partisan objective twisted can be. Depending on personal ability, they can be made palatable on a piece of paper or downplayed or cinder-blocked almost beyond recognition.

Knowledge of this organizationand of its maturation process gives any enemy a good estimate of the "internal condition" and performance of this (U.S.) administration. Themore he knows about it, the more he can anticipate or predict the possible reactions, and - he can analyze the weak points.

They know better how many thousands or millions of documents have been betrayed in the meantime. These then, along with the Mar-a-Lago documents, give an enemy a dangerously closelook at a government administration's - and ultimately the President's - performance, creative will, and power to act.

This damage is not just there "now," when Mr. Trup could be readying these documents on the bedside table in the guest room of his fortress, but the damage is to be notedfor a very long time to come. All these persons, who are permanently employed or politically supplied, shape the state apparatus for a long time. Not everyone can "turn his psychogram" in such a way that his behaviorsince then will no longer be predictable in the future - rather no, the overall structure of an administration will continue to work in the sense of a conventional democracy (hopefully !!!).

Trump's efforts to fill upper and middle staff with partisans should also be seen in this context (the head of the Wagner group also once started as a cook).

Just suggesting that it might have been so is tantamount to saying "it is so".

IV End of my contribution

Dear Mr. XAXNAR!

I hope my suggestions help you. If you consider a further exchange of ideas desirable, please write to me. Daily Kos has my eMail address.
