Into The Future (Aleksandra Bielska)

The 2025 edition of the #OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook is finally online! You will find it here: osinthandbook.com

If you're wondering why every AI-driven Google Dorks generator is so bad, that's because they are trained on actual Google queries, and most people don't know how to search the web properly. Don't waste your money. Use your brain instead. And a thesaurus.

In international relations a lack of self awareness can be deadlier than a missile. But a lack of moral clarity is fatal.

🌏🌐It's always a pleasure to welcome new participants of @i_intelligence ' s courses! Other than teaching you how to research online in Chinese, I will also teach you how to write, type, read and even speak a bit of Chinese during the 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞. It's also a great opportunity to share cultural aspects which you should be aware about as a researcher. Being able to write in Chinese on a digital device is essential when researching - sometimes OCR tools just won't do the trick. The Pleco online dictionary is an absolute must (see video). Dates, course outlines, registrations details and all you need to know can be found here: i-intelligence.eu/courses/osint-… See you in class and 💬DM -me if you have a question! #osint #courses #langtwt #osintlanguages #chinese

There are certain cardinal rules that all strategists should be attentive to. One of these is never put your trust in anyone who is historically illiterate, or has a selective reading of the historical record.

US intelligence indicates that Russia and China are attempting to recruit federal employees fired by the Trump administration, sources say cnn.it/43cIqjF
