  • Recruiting New Spies via Internet

    It’s no secret that almost every state conducts intelligence both at home and abroad. However, if several decades ago this activity was in the sidelines, the emergence and development of the Internet and information technologies lifted the veil on espionage and empowered intelligence with new, although sometimes controversial, capabilities. Thus, on September 19, 2025, the […]

  • Substack De-Platformed Me With No Explanation

    I posted articles at Substack during April 11 to October 12 of 2024, a total of 202 news-reports and commentaries, during those 184 days, but then Substack removed my password and would not enable me to create a new one.

People feel ashamed. No one likes to see themselves as a sucker. It’s humiliating. It makes people angry. It makes them want to lash out at someone. […]

  • Evidence Does Not Change (Most) Minds

    For decades, I’ve been writing articles, essays, blog posts, books, and more. Two of my books are annotated history texts. I’ve given public talks and run a podcast. I’ve been interviewed more times (TV, radio, online, print, etc) than I can remember. You’d think by now, I’d be aware that most folks are unmoved by […]
