Trump ordered all US military bases to be 100% self sufficient within 90 days on October 26th. In fact, the Memo was written a month prior by Hegseth September 30th. Which would align with a January 2027 end date of preparedness. There six senior civilian politicians who have been moved onto Military bases with most moves taking place in late 2025 and only now becoming transparent. Historically this is extremely rare. Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi also moved to bases while still employed by the White House and have since relocated.
The housing being designated for civilian politicians is normally reserved for 3 and 4 star Generals and Admirals. Meaning they would be forced to live off-base. The only other time in history politicians have been assigned to a military base: Robert Gates under Bush and Obama – Gates had no home in DC, Mike Pompeo under Trump and Jim Mattis under Trump. The issue is largess given that Generals are typically put on a ‘waiting list’ given military housing has become too sparse.
Trump is claiming his current politicians are facing internal and external threats – such as from Iran. However, intelligence briefings and public records cannot provide any evidence of specific threats against any particular individual. In addition, with the exception of Stephen Miller, these men did not bring their wives and children who continue to reside in their civilian residences – putting them at risk.
IF Iran never made any direct threat, why would these White House officials require Military Base Housing? Technically, based on Iran’s actions to date, US bases are the primary target.
The main threat that has circulated since Trump #1 is The US Grid. The US Grid upgraded via ‘Smart Grid Modernization’ making it vulnerable to every hacker on earth. The FAA deployed its transition to SMART modernization having launched on September 21, 2026 before expanding to all 22 Air Traffic Control centers nationwide as of November 10th. Three days later, that grid collapsed… or was hacked. And Duffy asked for $50 billion. In FY 2026, the FAA was appropriated ‘additional funds’ of $12.5 billion as an overhaul package.
Within that $12.5 billion allotment, the FAA awarded: 1) Deloitte Consulting – 10 year $488.2 million contract to modernize databases and applications. 2) L3Harris upgrade and operate aircraft traffic and ground operations thru 2045 – $18 billion – Less than $1 billion per year. 3) Peraton contract for $1.5 billion to lead integration for the new air traffic control system. 4) Airspace Intelligence awarded contract for $875.9 million for SMART System.
So why does the FAA need $50 Billion more? L3Harris is under investigation due to the claim that a router they had just installed caused the communication failure that led to the cancellation of all US flights. L3 Harris has been fully integrated into the Israeli defense manufacturing market since Trump regime #1. They have supplied the diesel engines for tanks, the electronic systems for warships, components for Direct Attack Guidance kits, components for Israel’s F-35 fleet, and a memorandum to jointly develop the “Blue Sky Warden”.
The Blue Sky Warden has been the go to for the bombing of Gaza and Lebanon. Originally designed for crop dusting – L3 and Israel turned it into a low cost weapon against Palestinians given its massive payload.
In Trump’s ‘self-sufficiency’ order bases are required to be run on small portable nuclear power or microreactors. They can run continuously for upwards of 15 years, average 8 years before necessitating refueling. Typically they are housed at military bases for disaster relief while some are used to power data centers.
There are 1.2 million active duty troops across US bases housing a total of 2.57 million personnel and their families. In terms of supplying water for 90 days with a minimum allowance of 1 gallon per person, would require 232 million gallons of water – without including showers. While storage is insufficient, the pronouncement calls for bases to dig wells. In terms of provisions – there needs to be refrigeration and freezing facilities for 350,000 tons of food.
The Order requires fuel storage, medical supplies including blood, munitions, spare parts, systems that are 100% protected from cyber intrusions, drone threats and satellite disruptions. All of which has been detailed with one exception – no end date for completion. A rather bizarre omission.
With all of this preparedness, the largest issue remains for every American – protecting the Grid from hackers. In August Trump signed an EO targeting ‘foreign made electrical equipment’ while designating covered foreign entities. Specifically China. The EO gives the Energy Secretary 120 days to devise a plan for implementation while noting that the reasons include; data centers, defense production, and advanced manufacturing. What’s missing? Cyber warfare. Hacking.
There were seven massive cyber attacks over October and November including Microsoft, European refrigeration, Claude Data Breach, ransom pop-up notifications, etc… It also includes one that was given little to no media air time: “A multi-year remote code execution flaw in the PHP programming language (identified via AI-assisted research) triggered global emergency patching and government website disruptions.”
The FBI and NSA claimed that the threat could exploit a flaw to take control of websites and potentially compromise sensitive information.
Who is in charge of the Federal Government’s cyber security agency? The Director of Cyber Security within the Department of Homeland Security is Acting Director Nick Andersen with a degree in Science and a former Marine. The Office of the National Cyber Director is led by Sean Cairncross – a lawyer. He was the former CEO of the Millenium Challenge Corporation whose Board of Directors is appointed by the President. Of the nine seats on The Board, five are vacant. The CEO is vacant. The four active Board Members include: Rubio, Bessent, Cairncross and Jamison Greer. And
The Millennium Corp is a government organization operating within our government, funded by our government and provides grants to ‘countries that have good economic policies’… These countries are spread across Africa and eastern Europe including – Ukraine. ALL Board Members are Compensated.
The graft is so pervasive – the outflow of money so convoluted – the mismanagement so corrupted the only way to table it is to eliminate the federal government in its entirety. Keystone Cops.
Perhaps a better use of our military would be to protect our electric Grid from Hackers…
