Counter-Messaging: What Works, What Doesn’t and What Remains Unproven - Part 4
Hundreds of counter-extremism campaigns; very few evaluated for actual behavioral impact. The best-tested, the Redirect Method, shows modest effects. Alternative identity beats rebuttal, probably.

Information Warfare and Radicalization in the AI Era
Extremists don't need training camps anymore. They need a story, a community that rewards it, and a feed that repeats it. AI made the story nearly free.
A @commandeleven new four-part series on information warfare and radicalization, honest about what's unproven. This is a carry on from the original projections and assessments from the 2026 Global Counter-Terrorism Assessment.

Digital Recruitment Ecosystems and Algorithmic Amplification - Part 3

On Oct 6, the Moscow Format on Afghanistan ended without a joint statement for the first time since 2017. Within a week, Pakistan and the Taliban were fighting on the border.

France’s next protest wave starts Saturday: “Acte II,” 212 mobilizations, under curfews.

2026 Global Counter-Terrorism Assessment Hub
Everything built on our April 2026 Global Counter-Terrorism Assessment, now in one place: the frameworks, nine update dossiers, eight regional baselines, and the audit that scores the GCTA's own forecasts.
The first two are live - we'll be adding as we complete the complete assessment.

Global Food Security - A new @commandeleven series (thread):
Four shocks are hitting the world's food system at once: a record El Niño, the Hormuz fertilizer cutoff, a diesel shortage the IEA says lasts into 2027, and a closed Black Sea. 🧵
We rated 10 regions against all four. Africa is the only one exposed to every driver at a high level.
The finding that runs through every region: governments are reacting, almost none are planning. The worst is still ahead, in 2027.
The Global Food Security Crisis, region by region.
