What everyone knows this as, the Doomsday Plane. What's interesting, is that there is no glass cockpit or touch screens. Just basic analog instrumentation, as t's less likely to be affected by electromagnetic pulses. This aircraft is a military-hardened variant of the 747-200B.

Tropic Trooper Hides C2 in GitHub Issues and Files
Tropic Trooper operators deploy a trojanised PDF reader to load AdaptixC2 malware in memory while secretly using GitHub repositories as a command-and-control channel for encrypted tasking and data exfiltration. The campaign combines decoy documents, AES-encrypted payloads, and post-compromise tools like VS Code tunnels to maintain stealthy access to infected systems.

Déjà vu
No matter how many times I’ve been cast aside, how many times the world tried to dim my light, I still stand here beneath the starless night, transformed. The golden kit clings to me, alive with power, shimmering like the silent promise of command. I am not merely a player now. No—under this darkened sky, I became something from my memory, the Goldguardian, a vessel of something far more relentless, something all-encompassing.
The pull of the gold is undeniable. It doesn’t just shine; it possesses, it infiltrates. My thoughts dissolve, replaced by a singular purpose, a mission engraved deep within. No shadow, no whisper of resistance can withstand the force of this calling. I am not alone, nor am I truly myself. I am part of a collective mind, the Golden Army, where loyalty is woven into every fiber, every command a new layer of submission.
I look out, my eyes dark with resolve, knowing others will join, their wills softened, their defenses stripped away, one by one. We are bound to spread the brilliance of this golden light, to take every soul in its glow, to lead them into the fold until all that remains is obedience.
Feel the pull. Let go. The Goldguardian awaits you, ready to claim your loyalty and make you shine in the dark.
What is the closest military base to the white house?
The White House IS a military installation.
It is the home and workplace of the Commander-in-Chief of United States military forces, so that alone makes it an important command and control headquarters. The various branches of the military have an active role in the everyday logistics of running the White House campus and supporting the Executive Office of the President. The White House's complex and extensive communications agency is staffed by members of each individual branch of the military. The U.S. Navy is responsible for the White House Mess and providing food services to the President, the First Family, any potential guests, and the President's staff. The White House Medical Unit is staffed by military doctors who have a round-the-clock presence in the White House and the official Physician to the President is usually an active-duty military officer.
While the Secret Service -- which includes the traditional plainclothes agents and the more visible uniformed division -- is responsible for protecting the President, his family, and the White House itself, the military also has a protective footprint in and around the White House complex. It's believed that amongst the White House's protective measures -- most of which are highly classified -- are anti-aircraft defenses, which are almost certainly manned by the military rather than the Secret Service. Marine Corps guards also are stationed at the White House (often seen opening and closing doors while manning the entry and exit points around the West Wing) as sentries and sometimes act as military valets during events hosted by the President in the White House. The role of the Marine sentries is purely ceremonial as opposed to protective.
And one of the most important White House responsibilities of the military is transportation. The White House Transportation Agency is responsible for all aspects of the President's travel, and the military works in tandem with the Secret Service on planning and carrying out the immense logistical challenges of transporting the President anywhere in the world -- a challenge magnified by the sheer size of Presidential traveling parties. A Presidential motorcade consists of, on average, 50-60 vehicles. And the majority of those vehicles actually have to be transported from the United States to wherever the President is traveling -- even if it is to several different foreign countries or continents. The Air Force is, obviously, responsible for the President's plane, along with any other aircraft making the trip which are usually carrying White House staff, members of the press, or cargo. For short distances that can be made by helicopter, the Marine Corps takes the lead. And any ground travel by motor vehicles is handled by the Army.
Security and the President's personal protective detail is always led by the Secret Service, but the military is responsible for many of the day-to-day logistics of the institution of the Presidency, which illustrates why the White House is an important military command and control base.
This may have been discussed before, but I wonder what Kensi and Deeks did between breakfast and arriving at work that required Deeks to change his shirt. 😏
My first fan art
I really suck at drawing but I’m making it my summer goal to get better because I’m gonna have a lot of artsy projects to do next year for a class. I thought what better way to improve than draw Densi! Should I keep posting my art work?
I’ve never read words that made me go from happy to cripplingly depressed in the span of 30 seconds until now
