Summary

"OSINT in the Intelligence era. Lecture Notes- VOl.1" is a comprehensive book that takes readers on a captivating journey into the realm of intelligence and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). With an emphasis on practical knowledge and real-world applications, this book covers a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of intelligence to the intricacies of OSINT methodologies.
In the early chapters, readers are introduced to the concept of intelligence, its historical evolution, and the various levels it encompasses. The book then delves into the intelligence cycle, warfight domains in a military context, and explores the 5th dimension of cyberspace and network-centric warfare. Additionally, it explores the emerging 6th dimension of cognitive warfare, highlighting its significance in modern intelligence operations.
The book also examines different types of intelligence, including national security intelligence and criminal intelligence. Readers gain insights into the functions of criminal intelligence, the Europol EMPACT policy cycle, and the role of OSINT as a cross-disciplinary intelligence discipline. Furthermore, the book explores the ethical considerations and legal aspects of OSINT activities, with a focus on privacy-respectful OSINT practices.
Addressing the limitations of intelligence, the book sheds light on cognitive biases in both intelligence and OSINT, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and data quality. It also explores the challenges posed by news bias, the proliferation of fake news, and the rise of deepfakes. Additionally, the book examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), transformers, and ChatGPT technologies on online investigations and intelligence operations.
To equip readers with the necessary technical skills, the book covers the basics of IP networking for OSINT. Topics include network protocols, the OSI blueprint, the TCP/IP protocol suite, internet fundamentals, IP protocols, DNS, hypertexts, and email services. The book also provides guidance on machine preparation, virtual machines, OSINT prebuilt virtual machines, anonymization techniques, and the use of regular expressions for text extraction.
"OSINT in the Intelligence era. Lecture Notes- VOl.1" serves as an invaluable resource for intelligence professionals, cybersecurity practitioners, law enforcement officers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the fascinating world of intelligence and harnessing the power of OSINT. With practical insights, ethical considerations, and technical guidance, this book empowers readers to navigate the complex landscape of intelligence with confidence and proficiency.

    Studies In Consciousness - and...

    This is part of the “Lightworker's Log Book Series” that came into existence in 2008, via soul promptings and after a series of life circumstances designed to awaken the author to humanity's true state. Previous publications consisted of choosing titles, arranging content, and taking vast amounts of time to compile an entire book. These days, books are easily birthed by merely tapping into greater aspects of what may be referred to as the author’s ever-changing consciousness. Publications are now compiled in this way by many more authors than ever before. This book is just one example of material stemming from what may be referred to as a more evolved consciousness experiencing and expressing in a field of decreasing duality. 
    As segments of humanity become increasingly chaotic while others experience greater states of consciousness, there comes a time when one asks, “Are we there yet?” STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One is designed to explain in, hopefully, easily understood terms the vast separation from Source that humanity chose to experience. It is not meant to create further separations of Consciousness by delving into and examining other planets, galaxies or universes, but to explain how humanity got to the point where it is in the later portion of the twenty-first century, and how it will rise above it. STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One began to surface during weeks of daily, multiple deluges of water in September 2025. 
    “Water is the wilderness, the calling, the rally of the soul.” 
    This book contains what the author refers to as “heavy-duty information,” and as does water contains light codes, which necessitate short bursts of reading material to be assimilated chapter by chapter, allowing time between them for full incorporation. 
    The return to Source may not seem instantaneous, but it is already achieved, for separation is impossible in the grand scheme of Source. 
    Read this book to see that it rings true and speaks for itself.

    Every NASCAR fan—at one time or another—asks the same question: Why isn't my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than "Go fast, turn left, and don't crash." If you've ever wondered why race cars don't have mufflers, how "bump drafting" works, or what in the world "Let's go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge" means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you. 
     
     
     
    In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. 
     
     
     
    Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car—and maybe occasionally looks under the hood—can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest.

    Virology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses, including their structure, classification, replication, pathogenesis, and interactions with hosts. Viruses are unique infectious agents that exist at the boundary between living and non-living entities. Unlike bacteria and other microorganisms, viruses cannot replicate independently; they rely entirely on host cells to reproduce. This dependency makes them significant in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and public health. 
    The significance of virology has expanded with the emergence of novel viral diseases, pandemics, and the continuous evolution of viral pathogens. From early discoveries of viral infections to the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies, virology has played a crucial role in advancing medical science. The study of viruses extends beyond human health, influencing veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. Understanding the fundamental principles of virology is essential for diagnosing, treating, and preventing viral diseases. 
    Historically, virology began with the discovery of infectious agents that were too small to be seen under a microscope. The first major breakthrough occurred in the late 19th century when Dmitri Ivanovsky and Martinus Beijerinck independently demonstrated that certain infectious agents, later identified as viruses, could pass through filters that trapped bacteria. This led to the realization that viruses were distinct from other microorganisms. The discovery of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, further expanded the field and paved the way for molecular virology.
