Radio Contra Episode 238. TETRA Backdoors and USAF Motorola System Compromised

Episode 238. I break down the stories breaking regarding a compromise of USAF Base Security radio systems by an engineer and the discovery of a backdoor into TETRA commonly used outside the US. This reinforces the reality that COMSEC begins with you and your practices. Creating your own COMSEC methods is a hell of a lot better than relying on someone else’s.

Podcasts like these are the reason Radio Contra is a step above the rest. Pointing out real issues and offering real solutions. Not pom-pom waving bs, or “voting harder” or none of that.

The propaganda is so thick, so thick, the most revolutionary thing right now might be to shut it off, hit the gym and the pavement, and make sure your weapons are cleaned and zeroed.

Here is a thought experiment. Take a week off from all the alt-media. All of them. Then after a week, when you look back, you’ll see… it’s all outrage, but never any real solutions. A lot of it is outright… lies… anymore.

Like El Comandante de la milicia mossy oak said, everyone is talking about Hunter and his problems while Janet Yellen was told to go sit in the corner and was at some hole in the wall place eating mushrooms. No state dinner. I saw that on Twitter and almost no one had an article on it. Not to mention how big Wagner is in Africa.

    El Comandante, this might be a good candidate for not only the store, but for the avant link program:

    It’s a DIANA cipher disk, made here in the US. These go with the ADL Printer nicely.
