Miles Taylor once claimed to be a courageous whistleblower exposing Trump from within.
That fairy tale collapsed when the truth came out about who he really was.
And now this disgraced "Anonymous" leaker just got caught using encrypted apps near military bases.
The man who lied to America is at it again
Remember Miles Taylor?
He's the disgraced former Department of Homeland Security staffer who wrote that infamous anonymous op-ed in the New York Times claiming to be part of a "resistance inside the Trump administration."
When CNN asked him point-blank if he was "Anonymous," Taylor looked straight into the camera and lied.
He denied it completely.
Then in October 2020, right before the election, he revealed himself as the author.
The whole thing was a calculated political stunt designed to damage Trump.
President Trump responded by revoking Taylor's security clearance and ordering a federal investigation into his conduct.
The White House accused Taylor of manufacturing "sensationalist reports" and illegally disclosing classified information.¹
Now Taylor's back with a new scheme that should alarm every American who supports the military.
His left-wing nonprofit Defiance.org just launched a $50,000 billboard campaign near military bases in Florida.
The signs urge service members to "Obey Only Lawful Orders" — a not-so-subtle shot at President Trump's lawful use of military force against drug traffickers in the Caribbean.²
They're trying to "surround" military communities
But billboards are just the beginning of this coordinated assault on military discipline.
Taylor partnered with Scott Goodstein, who served as Barack Obama's social media strategist, to launch what they call a "media 360" campaign.
They're saturating military communities with messaging designed to make troops question their commanders.
"You see media 360. You see media on your phone. You look up from your phone, you're going to see media on the billboard," Goodstein explained.
"You go shopping at the local bodega, even to the gas pump. There's even going to be a seven second little talking thing at the gas. So we want to surround the areas and the neighborhoods and communities that are impacted the most by this."³
Read that again.
They want to "surround" military communities.
These aren't public service announcements about basic military law.
This is a targeted influence operation designed to undermine the chain of command by flooding service members with anti-Trump propaganda everywhere they turn.
The campaign specifically targets MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa and military installations near Doral.
Why Doral?
Because it's close to President Trump's golf course.⁴
That tells you everything you need to know about their real motives.

Encrypted communications raise red flags
Here's where it gets even more disturbing.
Taylor's campaign directs troops to encrypted communication platforms to get "legal advice" about refusing orders.
Troops get directed to websites pushing encrypted apps like ProtonMail and Signal to hide their communications while accessing "resources" about refusing commands.
Think about what they're really doing.
They're telling young enlisted personnel to secretly communicate with left-wing activist lawyers using encrypted apps that hide their communications from military leadership.
This isn't transparency.
This is a covert operation to inject political division into the ranks.
Taylor claims his billboards serve as a "constitutional alarm bell" for troops who might receive illegal orders.⁵
That's rich coming from someone Trump's White House accused of betraying his oath, disclosing sensitive information, and manufacturing false narratives about the administration.
The pattern Democrats established
Taylor's billboard stunt follows the same playbook six Democrat lawmakers used last month.
Senator Elissa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, and four House members released a video telling troops they don't have to follow orders they believe violate the Constitution.
President Trump called them out for "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR" and the Pentagon launched an investigation into Kelly.⁶
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled the video seditious and said it undermined military discipline.
Now activist groups are expanding that messaging with a multi-state billboard campaign using the same language and tactics.
Military law already addresses unlawful orders.
The Uniform Code of Military Justice requires service members to obey lawful orders and refuse unlawful ones.
That's been established law since the Nuremberg trials after World War II.⁷
Troops don't need Miles Taylor's encrypted hotline to understand their legal obligations.
They need to trust their commanders and the military justice system that's served this country for generations.
What Taylor and his allies are really trying to do is politicize the military by convincing service members that President Trump's lawful orders are somehow illegal.
They want troops questioning every deployment, every operation, every command that comes down from this administration.
Trump's lawful use of military force
The billboards target Trump's strikes on drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and Latin America.
The administration has killed over 100 suspected narcoterrorists since September in an unprecedented crackdown on cartels poisoning American communities.⁸
Democrats and their media allies immediately questioned the legality of these operations.
But the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel determined the strikes fall within the President's constitutional authority.
The administration formally notified Congress that the United States is engaged in armed conflict with drug cartels designated as unlawful combatants.
That's the legal framework that authorizes these operations.

Some lawmakers don't like it.
Too bad.
President Trump has both the constitutional authority and the duty to protect Americans from the deadly fentanyl crisis killing 100,000 people every year.
Taylor and his nonprofit allies want service members to refuse orders in this fight.
They're literally trying to sabotage the President's efforts to stop drug cartels from poisoning American communities.
That should tell you everything about where their loyalties lie.
Miles Taylor betrayed the Trump administration from within, lied about it on national television, got caught, lost his security clearance, and now he's trying to undermine military operations from outside the government using covert communications with active-duty personnel.
The media will call this "defending democracy."
Real Americans call it what it is — sedition dressed up as activism.
