mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchI'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
And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy 😅 #FAFO
Our periodic reminder that no matter how loyal you think you are, and no matter HOW much you kiss the führer's--errr, RING; what did you THINK I was gonna say?--the #ICEtapo always comes FOR YOU, eventually. #ItsWhatTheyDo

Our #StableGenius racks up a couple thousand MORE counts of #NegligentHomicide....
Selling out their communities for a paycheck, in service of obscenely wealthy #Techbroligarchs who want to drain their groundwater and cut their medical care.
How 'bout our society invest in building things that will SERVE humanity instead--and not to the #BillionairesInsurgency on a silver platter...?

Sorry, Donny--you're gonna die a #ConvictedFelon (and an adjudicated rapist) 😅
Frankly, of course, India needs to clear the same bar. #SaffronTerror #Hindutva #fascism #ButcherOfGujarat
As China has also learned, It's a lot easier to bury an ongoing #genocide under a population of a billion and a half.

Prominent retired General and Flag Officers, especially from the Combat Arms/Warfighting Communities, should be establishing accountable relationships RIGHT NOW with Democratic governors (especially fighters like like Pritzker and Walz), so that if Chancellor Shitler successfully subverts democratic accountability at the polls and tries to consolidate permanent fascist rule in America, they are prepared to call those who have served under them in combat to bring their gear and fall in on them in "well-regulated militias," "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC" (emphasis added).
You can't start "organizing, training, and equipping" against the Constitutional crisis ONLY ONCE IT IS UPON US, and the #ICEtapo, MAGA #brownshirts, and fascist #Sturmtrumpers are rampaging through our streets in an #AmericanKristallnacht, and the need to act is obvious and immediate.
"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace" --General George Washington

Some of us got it from the beginning (before the 2016 election).
From one of the OG #NeverTrump generals, to one of the OG #ReSisterhood, a well-deserved salute. 🫡
