He's subtweeting me for all the right reasons -- and phone calls I've been on reveal he's not the only one.

I've gone soft on @CISAgov in appreciation for the fact they're not like their direct descendant, FBI NIPC.

I've gone soft on @CISAJen because she's not like her…

…predecessor, Michael Vatis.

More specifically, though, I've gone soft on @CISAJen because she's building the right relationships with @DragosInc and @RobertMLee, who himself will play the role of "Daddy Warbucks" in the first true #cyberwar.

Everything @ErrataRob subtweeted…

…is correct. When I say "it's getting better," that doesn't mean it's *good* now.

CISA severely lacks #critics, skeptics, and historians. Their board-level guidance comes from people who, among other things, wrote the book "This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends"…

It's not *enough* defense to claim I mock Jen's "watershed moment" where she coined her battle cry. Rob will win if I mount that argument.

But.

Will I now suddenly expand my diatribes against CISA and its overlord, NCD?

To quote Rob: "no," because…

…I returned Vmyths[.]com to a hobby website in 2005 and I stopped editing .mil cyber doctrine in 2016 and I retired from DoD in 2018.

Add to this my lack of an ivy/academy degree, my career as an enlisted troop, and my sheer unwillingness to bend over.

Know this: the…

…first true #cyberwar is coming.

I've NEVER denied this -- I've only mocked those who say it's here or coming RSN.

We've got plenty of time to plan for #cyber attacks. NOW is the time to stop fanatics who shoot at electrical substations.

But, as @c4i so eloquently put it…

Oh, and if ANY of you fools in Twitter's peanut gallery chime in with "I hate to say I know a secret but you're wrong," I will pray to the heathen gods to smite your clearance with the hellfury of Muad'Dib.
