Counter Terrorism, Counter Extremism & Radicalisation

[William Baldet MBE @WillBaldet]

Prevent is an opportunity to divert ppl from terrorism before they destroy lives. It's not a panacea, but a last chance to intervene and the alternative to doing nothing. It's not perfect, nor claims to be, and perseveres despite the insidious campaigns to derail it.

"We offer this voluntary service. If people decline it, there is nothing that the local authority can do to compel them to be part of this process."

@RosieDuffield1 Dan is a phenomenal inspiration. I highly recommend his recent book Back From the Dead. It’s a raw and difficult read from a man who relives 7/7 every single day.

The Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach that two gunmen are suspected of attacking was billed as 'Chanukah by the sea' in a poster.

At least 11 people have been killed in the terror attack. Authorities say it was "designed to target" the Jewish community.

“The answers you seek are in the silence you're avoiding”

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

The thing is you probably have all the information you need already, you just can't bring yourself to sit down and listen to it, so you just keep chain-smoking podcast episodes, never really thinking, knowing deep down that the answers you seek are in the silence you're avoiding

A remarkable essay by @G_S_Bhogal with some sharp insights into unabomber Ted Kaczynski and his rarely discussed second manifesto.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

For decades, smart people have been quietly turning your life into a series of games. They've been doing this because the easiest way to make you do what they want is to make it fun.

So how do we play, without getting played?

My new essay.
