๐จ NEW: I regret to inform the public the individual blocking @RepMaxineWaters @MaxwellFrostFL et. al lawful entrance to the Dept. of Education today appears to be Tobie Jansen van Rensburg, an offensive cybersecurity expert from South Africa who runs "Grey Owl Cyber Defense".
They wiped his face from PimEyes, but I still found him.
They are seeding disinformation, seen here possibly using the stolen identity of a Black man on Threads.
This works by seeding lies that aren't verifiable, yet appear highly passable at first blush.
David Fridie does exist, and did work at DoE, but has no Internet presence, including on LinkedIn, so it's impossible to verify without contacting him directly.
Even more concerningly, LinkedIn thinks I should be looking at these three posts when I search for David Fridie.
One of those is the account of William Resinger, who says he's accomplished military SERE training, which is specialized/hardcore training given to special forces only.
Resinger's most recent LinkedIn post, as of 2 hours ago, states: "From what I understand, they got everything they need now so everything from here on out is futile"
Note his educational background, also shown below.
I rest my case and leave you to draw your own conclusions. Lawmakers must investigate, NOW!!
Ever feel overwhelmed or distressed after taking in the news?
You might be experiencing vicarious trauma. ๐ฐ
It can happen when you are exposed to traumatic events, even from a distance. This thread ๐งต is about how to spot the signs and protect your well-being.
What does vicarious trauma look like? The signs can be behavioral, physical, and psychological:
> Social withdrawal, irritability, trouble separating events from life
> Headaches, gastrointestinal trouble, fatigue
> Intrusive thoughts, cynicism, disturbed sleep, or feeling numb
Steps to control your exposure to distressing content:
Before you view, hit pause and ask yourself:
> Do I need to see this now?
> Do I need to see all of it?
During viewing, try making the window smaller, lowering the sound, or reducing color saturation.
Great list! ๐ TYSM for recognizing me as a "very niche" cybersecurity creator and influencer who is known as "THE go-to expert" in my respective areas of security.
Down below๐I have linked fourโผ๏ธvaluable stories for #tech, #infosec, and #cybersecurity professionals.

1. Are you aware that conversational AI tools may be secretly collecting & analyzing your users' sensitive information, posing a growing threat to their privacy & autonomy?
These are not conflicting views. You can want for the people of Palestine & Israel to peacefully co-exist and for the apartheid & genocide to end while also decrying the garbage leadership of both nations. Yes, I cheer for the death of terrorists who do not love their own people.
No, I will not give Netanyahu an "attaboy" for genocide which includes 20K children and destroying many multiples of other lives/communities for the sake of eliminating Sinwar. Nobody should. The atrocities in Gaza cannot be left unanswered. Those responsible must face the ICC.
Reviewing the government's complaint against the alleged Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" revealed additional suspicious patterns of behavior which could be markers of tradecraft that strengthen my case for intelligence involvement in the murders of Sarah and Yaron.
1. Pro Timing & Logistics:
- OPSEC: Last-min ticket purchase (3hrs before event)
- Planning: Interstate firearm transport via commercial airline
- Minimal exposure window via 1day operation (arrived May 20, attacked 21st)
- Target-rich environment: Gathering of Israeli diplomats
2. Behavioral Anomalies:
- Immediate surrender after attack, unusual for genuine extremist
- Calm confession without lawyer present
- No escape attempt despite advance planning suggests mission completion priority
- Theatrical political messaging: Keffiyeh as prop
๐งตTHREAD: ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ Red flags suggest the Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" isn't a genuine American progressive, but possibly an agitator from an authoritarian regime. I analyzed his Goodreads reading list which has 279 entries stored since 2012 under a name that isn't his.
1/9 Real American leftists typically discover Russian literature through college (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky). This person reads obscure Soviet political figures - Molotov memoirs rated 5 stars! That's knowledge usually gained through family/cultural transmission, not U.S. education.
2/9 Genuine campus radicals usually start with contemporary issues (climate, inequality) then work backward to theory. This dude shows the reverse: started with dense communist theory (2013-2015) then applied it to current events. 12-year systematic preparation looks professional
1/ I found a perfect lil' nugget while performing a basic linguistic analysis of the Israeli Embassy shooter's manifesto (published by Klippenstein, who was allegedly visited by fed. agents wanting to know where he got it).
My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible"...
2/ My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible", when applied to an action, represents a classic "calque": a direct translation that preserves the semantic structure of the source language rather than adopting natural target language expressions.
3/ In Russian, the word "ัะธัะฐะตะผัะน" (chitaemyy) encompasses both "readable" (for text) and "comprehensible/intelligible" (for actions, situations, or concepts), but English restricts use of the word "legible" exclusively for written material.
