Great to see the new blog. I knew Sir David from our work on early warning intel when my USAF team was based in London. I'll be interested in your coming pieces
Goodnight Mir
Wow, that is truly messed up

Fascinating piece on Russian #disinformation#intelligence
JUST OUT — September was a wild month for scholars of modern covert influence operations. No longer do we have to rely on a campaign's digital footprints alone. My first analysis of ~3K leaked internal files and fresh FBI evidence on "Doppelganger." www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/lies-...
The country’s propagandists target the West—but mislead the kremlin, too.
Great roundup of news and resources, opportunities for mutual aid for western NC in the wake of #Helene here:
Reopening roads, getting supplies out remains difficult
Awful: “Officials from the City of Asheville and Buncombe County have not released a plan for distributing food or water to its residents yet. At a press conference this morning, Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder said that trucks of food and water are on their way, but have been stuck in transit”
Just 1 window into #Helene devastation, by no means worst (watching videos of people on rooftops w/in inches flood, entire houses floating away) but touches home as an academic: Warren Wilson College in Swananoa, NC w/ students, faculty staff trapped on campus no running water, dwindling provisions.
