Don't worry. We got a 23 year old landscaper on it!

Just kidding, he also has prior government experience of working in a Model UN! That's totally relevant experience and absolutely no one should question if this admin is really just trying to let an attack happen to justify cancelling midterms...

While the exact contents of these transmissions cannot currently be determined, the sudden appearance of a new station with international rebroadcast characteristics warrants heightened situational awareness,

We can't tell you what we've found, but believe us, it's very, very wicked. Where have I heard that before?

The entire point of a numbers station is you can't decode what they say unless you are the intended recipient. They have been around since WWI and are still around as they are good at what they do.

"Muslim sleeper cells!" is such a 2003 era white nationalist talking point.

The Iranian expat community has been vocally in support of the bombings.
