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

From the article: “Crimes like Douglas Cornett’s — acts of hate-motivated violence — victimize not just the individual, but harm families, communities and groups by robbing them of their sense of security,” said Erik S. Siebert, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, in a press release. “Every person has a right to live free of the fear of violence and the menace of hate, and my office is committed to eliminating both.”

I wonder how long it'll take before our #RacistInChief issues Cornett's pardon, and his #InjusticeDepartment fires Erik Seibert for daring to undermine his policy agenda.... 🤬

Donald Trump, #RonDeathSantis, and any other public official associated with these decisions need to be charged with the thousands of counts of negligent homicide that can be directly & provably traced to them. There needs to be accountability, on behalf of all of the victims and survivors of their campaign to get MORE of us #DyingToOwnTheLibs.

I’m hearing some at VOA who went outside for a mid-morning break to make a cell phone call or to smoke had their badges immediately deactivated and can’t get back in to the Cohen Federal Building.

Attached: 2 images Kari Lake (USAGM 'special adviser') is emailing ‘reduction-in-force’ (termination) notices to many VOA staffers who’ve been on paid leave since mid-March. She's also axing some who were brought back to implement her Potemkin Village VOA (reaching only 0.2% of our prior audience).

"The 'good people on both sides' in Charlottesville marked the beginning of a new era of state-sanctioned violent extremism that historically had been seen only in the South."

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

"Donald Trump is not content to merely adopt the language of fascism, such as boisterous claims, like immigrants 'poisoning the blood of our country.' He has also adopted a classic fascist tactic: the use of violence to suppress, scare, and punish political opponents."
