Well I was going to take a job that required me to quit the blog, then a guy offered me £5000 to keep blogging, so I'm going to do a Kickstarter off the back of that.

I know some folks in the OSINT business here in the states, have you looked at maybe working w/ that community? Your work is light years ahead of most OSINT, there is a great business opportunity in the work you've done as I see it.

The job offer I had was in OSINT, but they wanted me to abandon my blog which put a dampener on it. Then when I said I'd be finishing the blog I got this offer of money and lots of offers to raise further funding. I've got a lot of very well known journalists and Arab Spring figures providing me with nice quotes about my blog and me, plus all my various media appearances to use, and lots of friendly journalists and activists to support the fundraising efforts.

I will do a small derail detailing the history of beards, Harpoon missiles and stupid loving sirs commandants who where ahead of their time.


"Beard growing contest by crewman of USCG 82-footer Division 11, An Thoi. (No names or information received with these.)"
Good God look at those motherfucking beards, I loving hope the guy on the Top right won. Sadly came 1986 came this... Guy...


Admiral Yost banned beards in the coast guard in 1986. The connection? He served in a Patrol Boat in Vietnam, therefore he tried to win a beard growing contest but only prodeced only a shameful amount of hair. The enlisted men made fun of him and later that night he cried his little nerdy eyes out and said to himself "If i ever become the commandant I will ban beards FOREVER!"

Yep.

Also, last year I found some old rear end (Unclass) maintenance documents that pretty much went "Congratulations on having a CIWS and a Missile installed on your boat!". Mind you I am on a much smaller cutter, so I don't want to imagine the kind of damage it would have done to the ship. Or where the hell they would put it.
