Welcome, and you are now "In The Malone Pwn". This is an online collection of notes for my main writing and research project. This is the evolution of my data security material, including who and how I was influenced for its evolution. Entries will be added as inspiration and discoveries evolve. No order is guaranteed either by date or other organizational methods.

Some of the material includes direct experiences in a government support program(The NSA, non-cleared side), a related telecom work experience(Verizon, no clearance needed), and related experiences that might be relevant to the primary focus. Here's a sneak peak. In 2020 I was hired on a VAR contract to develop an automated network device onboarding process. The reason? It was needed because Verizon had purchased a European Telecom named Vodaphone due to Russia invading Crimea in 2014, exactly what I was told.

At the same time Verizon also purchase a Northern South-American Telecom named Tracphone that services Venezuela. Recent news items since January 2026 provide more insight into reasons for this purchase have already been published. But the focus of this material is to answer one question. Why did the Pentagon agree to a $10 Billion dollar price tag from Microsoft when Jeff Bezos and Amazon had a winning bid of only $6 Billion for the Pentagons JEDI contract in 2019?

Short answer is Microsoft had already setup a worldwide data collection mechanism in 2015 and it was operating very well. Go look at the Microsoft stock valuation around 2015. Many more details and proof will be provided. Again, welcome!
