Here are some observations to consider for the @DNC and Dem voters who may now be inclined to blame everyone who refused to vote for Harris. Maybe NOW you’ll pay attention (or, sadly, not). Thread >> 1. Millions of Americans TOLD YOU that genocide was a red line and they weren’t going to reward a candidate or party engaging in genocide, no matter how much money AIPAC gives you or how you try to spin it (looking at you, @BernieSanders and @MarkRuffalo).

While I was sifting through various reports on the genocide in Gaza while pursuing some vague ideas for a story, I was overwhelmed by the stark realization that Israel and the U.S. are going to get away with murdering 2 million innocent people in broad daylight. 🧵>> Looking through just a tithe of information from over the last year left me feeling distraught. Over thirty years of intelligence analysis, I reported on a lot of things, some of which were heart-wrenching. But I used to think we Americans were the good guys. We're not.

Let’s talk about the recently changed Department of Defense Directive 5240.01, which provides top-level guidance for DOD’s intelligence gathering activities. I started out as an Army intel officer and spent ~30 years as a DOD intel guy, so that’s where I’m coming from.🧵>> Summary: should you, as a citizen, be concerned about the changes in the new 5240.01?

YES, you absolutely should, but not for the reasons most people seem to think. Some folks believe 5240.01 now gives the military sweeping powers to use lethal force against Americans…

As a follow-up to my tips for air travel [below], here are some for "on the road" when you have to stay at hotels, BnBs, etc. None of this should be new, so mostly just a refresher.🧵>>>

First off, just to reiterate what I said in the previous thread, the most important thing is to have a defensive mindset focused on cleaning the air you breathe. That must ALWAYS be at the forefront of your mind when you travel.

Someone asked me to put together some thoughts on minimizing COVID infection risk while traveling, so here you go! Many others have posted great tips in the past, so a lot of this is likely stating the obvious.

This thread is on air travel. 🧵>>> First and foremost, you have to have a defensive mindset and focus on what you need to do to clean the air you breathe. I know that sounds obvious, but IMHO that's the most important thing because it drives every action you take to protect yourself.

Folks, I'm sorry to be a downer here, but all of the posts I've seen from folks hoping Walz will somehow be able to influence Harris to bring back mask mandates, make CDC do its job, end the genocide in Gaza, etc., are...🧵 ...- again, I'm sorry - nothing but hopium. Walz was chosen for the same reason Harris (and most previous VPs) was: to put someone in who appeals to a voting block the person at the top of the ticket might not be swaying.

Okay, I’m going to go out on a limb and post something on 222 nm far-UVC, mainly because I’ve seen more folks wondering about it and I’ve seen a LOT of tweets lately showing people using some of this tech in really ineffective ways. 🧵

Just so you know… …that I’m not just some rando blowing stuff out my tailpipe at you, I’ve done a ton of research, talked to some of the manufacturers, and have invested heavily in far-UVC, including a Sterilray Sabre, a My Lumens UVPro222-B1, and two ERGO X-Ones.
