What you describe here in is perpetual warfare. I remember doing fieldwork in the villages of Iraq. Groups of old women would enumerate all the wars they have lived under, one after another, each preceded by the meddling with and chipping away of human resolve. They were tired of war. And here we are today. Trump has gotten us into another war, this one the regional one we have all feared.

We are still at the entry point of this cycle and there is much we can do to disrupt it.

Just noticed I missed this article when it first came out. Extremely happy to have found it now! This is vital information that everyone in society, young and old alike, needs to be taught. After all, in the immortal words of GI Joe, "knowing is half the battle"...

No thanks necessary. I'm genuinely happy to support your work!

Over the last 10 years, I've witnessed firsthand how shockingly vulnerable and unprepared the overwhelming majority of our population, even politicians, academics, business leaders, and others with power and influence, have been to defend against the ever growing number of threats posed by modern tech.

I've also been shocked and infuriated by how easily media-based psy-ops like Fox News, which has been openly operating with impunity for almost 3 decades, have been able to indoctrinate, radicalize, and poison the minds of people I know and care for.

That one network alone has inflicted so much damage on our nation, incited so much hate and violence, prevented progress on so many issues, and needlessly destroyed so many relationships that the Murdochs should be charged with treason and the network shutdown permanently.

That said, I have been working with computers and tech since I was 4 years old, and while I have a ton of knowledge in many different areas, I am an expert in none. I've been doing what I can over the years to try and educate people as to these many threats, how to spot them, what the agendas behind them are, and ways to combat them but admittedly, I've had very little success.

Your knowledge and expertise is highly impressive and far surpasses my own. The fact that you're actually trying to share that knowledge and expertise to educate others, especially others who may have little or no knowledge in tech and cyber warfare at all, is extremely admirable and desperately needed.

So, in short, I should be thanking you just as much. Keep up the amazing work and please stay safe!
