It is easy to laugh at former general Michael Flynn as he became a QAnon proponent & key figure in the Russian active measure in 2016. But, if you want to read a really astute analysis of how to do counter-insurgency intelligence operations--directly relevant to
2/ local activists & observers who want to move beyond doxxing (which is very difficult and very narrow)--Flynn's analysis is a must read. Flynn brought this to Afghanistan. The small US Army--essentially my intelligence cell in Bosnia--was doing this two decades before Flynn's
3/ analysis. I and my analysts in Bosnia went out and talked to local internationals (not local civilians, which would be collection and illegal). If you are trying to understand the nascent insurgency here in your local community, Flynn's analysis is a good start.
