A Stoic Bear series

CI Files

Influence operations, disinformation, intelligence posture, and state-sponsored activity — written from a counterintelligence background.

Most coverage of influence operations treats them as episodic — a campaign here, an account network there. CI Files treats them as infrastructure. Who builds it, who maintains it, what it's designed to do, and what it reveals about the state or non-state actor running it. Written from a counterintelligence background, not a journalism one.
