I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes.

I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONAL Technology scholar.

As I said in my old Twitter bio, "Yep--weird." :-D

States using environmental law to stop ICE concentration camp construction. https://www.projectsaltbox.com/p/op-ed-maryland-sued-to-stop-an-ice

Op-Ed: Maryland Sued to Stop an ICE Warehouse. New Jersey and Michigan Followed. Why Hasn't Arizona?

Every week of construction that proceeds without a legal challenge makes the case harder to win. Arizona's window is open. It may not stay that way.

Given what it's gonna do to the world economy when the bubble will burst I think it's better if we drop all references to intelligence and just start calling it subprime computing

I'm going to take down my ORIGINAL repost of this, because I have quickly concluded that, even in a post EXPLICITLY LAYING OUT my rationale for giving in and deploying a certain hashtag in terms of #IsraelAtWarCrimes' fervor in marketing itself as The Jewish State™ even as it commits #genocide on an industrial scale, that other hashtag is still an unconscionable slur against the Ummah of Musa. #OneTeamOneFight

But the double standard that @antanicus points out is real--and equally unconscionable--and America's Newspaper of Record™ should be ashamed.
