THE ARTIST HOSTEL

In Texas at an artist hostel, a young man was among a core group who hung out inside, in the living room, during the summer, when Austin was nice outside.

THE PEURTO RICAN AMERICAN

It had taken the Shadow Terrorist who had been living in San Francisco Union Square at a Hostel, who had a Florida Driver’s License, and the Hill Country bunk above mine in the Texan co-ed dorm, about a week to hack into a business Microsoft Server August 2020.

I left within a few hours of discovering the breach in real time. I reported it to law enforcement and the hostel. “Jack” called me back and told me they kicked that man out. I ended up going back a couple days later; as the location and price was better for me; and I really wanted to get to the bottom of what had happened.

Turns out the man had asked to look at my photos. I thought for one photo he was zooming in, but he was actually physically executing android command prompts. It took him mere #seconds.

(And I learned to never let anyone touch my device again; even if only to "look" at a photo.)

THE MILITARY CONSULTANT

I hired a military security government consultant who I'd just met at the conference I was in Austin for, to explain his hack. He shared with me an advanced method of #impersonation / #intrusion related to cell phone towers and used some of the language the #Actor had.

I met with him three times. The first meeting was payment, purchase, plus me providing lunch. The next two meetings I also paid for lunch. We agreed on a nominal fee due to having met at the professional training we’d attended. These meetings were outside my budget and I needed to evaluate him, first.

OFFICERS NEAR EL PASO

One officer told me not to “judge” a “book by its cover” when I reported Terrorists near the Border in Horizon. During that meeting, a Detective informed me that one plate ran was of CalGang member convicted felonious murderer Jonathan Hernandez from San Diego County, California.

The officer said something about “profiling”. In his head, he may have been thinking about a meeting he might have had with Human Resources about racism in Texas or illegal discrimination or any frowning upon snap judgements.

What I was doing, was very different, having roots in training that started in 2003 as a Behavior Therapist and working under notable doctors; then later on earning Master’s; before subsequently learning from forensic criminal psychologist Morgan; studying Dr. Paul Eckman’s work on Micro Expressions, and more.

MEDICAL GENETICS

From a perspective regarding medical genetics, observing people is remarkable, where experts in their field can visually have results that end up matching the lab work, which I feel is amazing (Dr. Joan Larson Matthews). Labwork can take days. Visually assessing can take seconds.

For example, we all have genetic tells. If a person’s neck looks too wide; or their upper arms too short; these are markers for genetic familia disease. Depending on what the disease is, you know if it’s structural, or extends to organs, or to the brain.

With that data, it can also inform you into possible ways the person feels. Some gene lines don’t feel good.

Some people who don’t feel good numb in various ways. Depending on their substance of choice, there are models of predictable behavior.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA

The drug also can tell us a few things about the Actor’s propensities. Whether liquid courage (like in articles that made the news about PCP); or marathon aggression & violence (like Captagon coming from Syia & used to assault Jewish victims in Gaza #BringThemHomeNow).

Or if it’s heroin, then you know the individual has memory problems + gaps in decision making and their thinking style. If those memories are put into a picture book, for example, the steps starting at desire, that go from “pain avoidance” or “pleasure seeking”, leading up to “goal fulfillment”, are blacked out in the heroin user’s memory. (If you put them under hypnosis and have then run the “mental movies” back, they can remember the desire and they can remember the goal fulfillment. The steps in-between are missing.

You also know that the individual may or may not feel “itchy”; that they are experiencing an exponential version of sensory deprivation related to “pain” receptors and downstream pathways. You also know when they’re “coming down”, that their senses are both heightened and also focused on goal fulfillment again, to the exclusion of other data in their environment.

MEDICAL PRESCRIBING

If they take prescription benzodiazepines; those patients are unable to transfer new memories from short-term retrieval into long term memory storage based on the half life of the medication.

PERSONALITY DSYFUNCTION

If they attack or blame “the victim” and/or if they act like they are the victim then they are probably #NPD.

If they express dislike of the “victim” then they likely instigated the harm of the victim themselves or played a part in harming them as a perpetrator, peer influence, hate crime, hired crime, crime of opportunity, or other. They’re guilty. (I’m continually surprised about how this social engineering tactic works and it’s yield).

If they’re charming/glib then they may be NPD or Dark Triad with Something To Lose.

EYE MOVEMENT

Their eye movements show whether they’re right or left handed; which tells you how clumsy & creative they might be.

It also tells you where they store information, how they perceive, and whether they’re telling the truth or lying.

MILITARY CONSULTANT had an excessive belly. The first thing I thought was it reminded me of a Bad Actor involved in The Game in Hollywood. (Neil Strauss picked him up for lunch; I refused to go.) HOLLYWOOD had an inflammatory disease of an overgrowth of #yeast as medically verified, from a diet of beer, sugar, and drugs.

I have since learned that large swollen stomachs can also be a sign of #schistosomiasis, a parasitic Neglected Tropical Disease which occurs in tropical & subtropical regions. MILITARY had traveled the world. The location we were in was subtropical. The CDC published confirmed reports of NTD in the region. As for that man specifically; it might have just been glutton.

I extended the thought of yeast as how it affects hunger; how it passes the blood brain barrier. Individually can feel foggy; they can feel hungry. They can feel aggressive & demanding. They most likely do NOT feel good in their bodies. Which extends to their thinking, their priorities, and their behavior.

My second thought, was about #arrogance + license. This man felt #entitled. Like he could have what he wanted, when he wanted, expecting to receive it, without qualm.

He did NOT care about the downstream effects related to himself. He absolutely did not care about any impact on others. It was all about him and what he felt he #deserved.

MILITARY knew a little about NLP. (The Game by Neil Strauss has certainly made its impact.) He used a #neg, which I found interesting that he put it in the right syntax and correct social frame at the right time. Although his disposition & egotism made it fall flat.

He was generous in describing an attack method and engineering steps that involve a cell tower compromise. I valued that.

He entirely omitted any and all language related to this being a terrorist attack on American Infrastructure. Instead, his eyes gleamed. He seamed proud of the villains.

He bragged about his security clearance. When I asked him to “tell me more”; he shared a tale or two. I held the space for this to continue, searching for red flags. Finally, one of his stories reminded him of an online hacking group he is part of. They do NOT have security clearance and are hacking members of the general public; not part of government.

He doesn’t have any right to share information with them. He was corrupt.

He admired the black hats doing wrong.

FACT CHECK

Back to my new hotel, I researched a Faraday Bag he sold me. He told me it was military grade from his tours in the middle east. He lied. It was a “glorified” smell-proof copper weed bag. The fact that he tried to pass this item off with a clever label, is telling, about his audacity, ethics, and the lengths he’ll go as a participant in committing crime for profit.

His self-importance made him blind to several of his own tells which he failed to realize are transparent. I had stuck with the interviews, looking for clusters; and allowing them to appear “naturally”, “in the field” (vs. orchestrated). It took three meetings for me to be sure.

VERIZON (back then)

I worked with my cell phone provider at the time to audit my account and apps. One of the tech employees was new and unhelpful.

A second one though, shared that I'd tug at a heart string, as he had a daughter, and it was important for him to protect her devices. He'd done #forensic audits before. We got to the bottom of it.

AGGRESSION DEFENSE SYSTEM

I called the #GoldenSeal I'd trained with in Virginia. He asked me if I was traveling with a gun.

(I am legally allowed to do conceal carries in any state due to an exception I qualify for; yet I do not travel with a gun. I am against gun violence. I have enjoyed shooting at a range. But ultimately the number of guns women bought for protection that were turned against them is the primary reason why I use other tools for self-defense.)

(I am small; a size two. Even a small man is likely going to be bigger and stronger than me. While I could be faster and use strategic methods to take them down; prevention is better while maintaining control of myself and tool(s) at all stages.)

He asked me if I was traveling with a security team. I told him I couldn't afford it; and had never had the budget for that sort of thing.

He said the world wasn't safe for people like me.

What he is talking about, is anyone who may be a Celebrity or Influencer or who works in media exposed in the public eye. He means anyone who is a CEO or manages funds.

He is on a security team for a wealthy family who is Mormon. He works for a Private Security Company that offers Risk Assessment & Self Defense Training approved by Attorney Generals. The series I took, a member of a DA's office in VA was there. The class is designed to assess the perpetrator immediately with focus on three clusters.

You need to know who you are dealing with in an instant; because you might only have 30 to 120 seconds to live, when certain indicators are present.

^ One cluster of assailants will kill you in 30 seconds.

^ Another 120 seconds.

^ A third will hurt you/your family, but not kill you.

You need to be able to protect yourself, your family, your home; flee or hide or disable (kill) the intruder, all without going to jail for self-defense (so there are additionally some legal trainings in the course).

A CLASSROOM DESK OR A TOOL FOR DEMISE

The most surprising part of the class, was about what weapons really are or can be. Karl asked us what were weapons in a room that was set-up like a classroom. We looked around. I saw nothing. Then he pointed to every day objects and described what they could do.

It's part of my threat assessment now in any new environment.

Where are the exits, obstacles, barriers, weapons.

HERE WHEREIN WE CALL BACK TO AN INSTIGATING EVENT

I took the class some years after my 5 bedroom home in San Francisco had been robbed, which was my first exposure to violence, in my 30s.

Before that happened, I felt in control of any of environment either as a fly on the wall in control of myself; or as a leader setting the tone. I had believed the world was a safe place and a playground for investors & entrepreneurs & creators.

I wasn't ignorant; rather just inexperienced regarding harm. I was raised in a safe community resonant of 50's Leave It To Beaver. Yet, there is government in my family and we had custom steps or protocols from as early as I can remember. That, and the Private Equity or VC worlds I worked in after, had safeguards and were inherently protective.

The robbery; I am a minimalist, so didn't realize I had things of "value" [to others]. The original paintings in my art gallery were stolen. As were designer cookware. My bicycle. And computers. Copies of my keys, as my car was taken too shortly after.

I realized that drug addicts and homeless can be scary, and that if people are desperate, they're not safe. Desperation, poverty, and drug seeking behavior, can make people dangerous.

The aftermath is not something that therapy could fix; at least for me. I didn't fit into any of the standard typical neither atypical boxes. It is though, something "coaching" & training can resolve. If you lose a competitive sporting event, you learn more about your opponent and you change up your training routine; so you'll win.

I spoke to a trauma therapist immediately after as I was having a hard time breathing. It was not panic; it was actually physical as I'd suffered a lung puncture. Once my lung healed, the breathing resolved.

I did feel #apprehensive though. That professional, was unable to help, as she instructed me to avoid what she called "triggers". I looked at her and my jaw dropped. I'd just spent the weekend reviewing databases and statistics of crime in my zip. She assumed it would escalate anxiety. But she was wrong; it made me feel calm and put the problem into perspective.

My family taught me that fear was a weakness and that all problems are handled head on. Nothing is unsolvable. Everything is either a phone call or process steps.

I liked that doctor, but told her she could not help me and why. She nodded. I kept up with MD's for the physical injuries and began learning more about cyber security, crime statistics & prevention.

I eventually got valuable help from a forensic psychologist who used to work with convicts. I was fascinated. And also Karl, a Marine Seal. Training with him improved many things.

THE OTHER SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE

A nurse who worked at a Los Angeles hospital and I had been chatting, who I met while traveling, and she shared with me she'd had a friend who'd been assaulted. That woman, ended up doing something like Krav Maga or other training and started down a new path. She eventually was hired in law enforcement in her desire to protect. She set up the seed that being willing to go into any physical posture for self defense, could save a life. I had been coming from a place of physical peace combined with intellectual security. I realized I needed to shift gears; and did.

Austin 2020, after the August breach by the Puerto Rican American, when I called Marine Karl, he suggested I reach out to his friend who does computer and cell phone forensics for Virginia DA's.

I did. I stated some descriptions of the forensic analysis I'd done with Verizon. He told me that what I was describing, was not anything he'd dealt with; telling me that what I said was custom software.

This is when I decided to return to the hostel; to learn more. I planned on finding out the rest.

THE UNRELATED HACKER WHO WAS NOT IN THE KITCHEN FOR FOOD

There was a man who spent time at the kitchen table. He was thin and wiry. Maybe he liked to eat? He said we could talk about asked me to go to a place with him. The ask was not without strings, from his eye movement, so I said no. Then I said something about one project I was working on. He said "thanks for the heads-up"; and that mini potential problem was quashed. I basically learned he was ex-Army and worked with a group of illicit hackers, who were working on something different than what it was I wanted to find out about.

MR GREEN EYES

My next ask was a long haired and light eyed man who hung out inside, in the living room, during the summer, where Austin was nice outside. He was in his twenties. He was attractive and had a small sliver of being over-accommodating, which is an attribute you see in many people with Substance Use Disorders. The wanting to be liked. The generosity of spirit.

He said he was sorry I'd been hacked. He said "that guy from Florida was a douche". He made me laugh. He said something that showed me he knew about Neuro Linguistic Programming and The Game; and so we went out to lunch to talk about it. This was interesting to me, and one pathway in.

UNIVERSITY TAQUERIA

We talked about the food in Austin. We discussed "The Game". He said if he texts a girl, and she texts back, he records the time and waits just as long to respond. He had his numbers all broken down by second; to what were the numbers that could lead to a date; and what were the numbers that meant it was only flirting and nothing else would actually happen.

He was really into it. I appreciated his enthusiasm. He tried to use some NLP on me. I thought it was funny. He thought I was his age; or just a couple years older. He didn't realize I was a decade and a half older and that Retin-A keeps you young. Nor did he know that I'd hung out with Pick-Up Artists for years in my 20's wanting to learn NLP inside and out for prevention.

He didn't realize I was using NLP on him; giving it back to him in the amount he was dishing to me. I wanted to remain ethical though; and this means obtaining consent.

What I wanted to know, was what he knew about hacking.

He was largely tight lipped; in a nice, calm, and jovial way.

Yet, I did learn this:

He'd been a hot shot in his teens and early twenties; a programming wiz. He'd earned funding from Y-Combinator.

In his seemingly unbounded wealth and access, he did what some people with propensities do. He lived large. He said he was married to a Russian woman he'd loved. He said they both did drugs and fought; leading to a young divorce.

He talked about San Francisco. He talked about specific Sharps on the ground in the streets.

THE TRUMP BOBBLEHEAD DOCTOR OF PHARMACY

I'd come from Lake Tahoe where I'd had a couple meetings with a Doctor of Pharmacy who said he wanted my opinion about a business start-up. He shared with me he'd just come out of rehab and was a recovering addict. He talked about Heroin. He was clear and used specific inside terms. This is how I knew what the term the long-haired programmer used, meant.

To maintain social rapport, and utilize the strategy not to assume; I asked him how he knew what those Sharps were about. The look in his eyes, his facial micro-expressions and body language, told a compelling story without him saying a word.

He did share he'd lost his Y Combinator funding; yet still worked with them.

I learned that he used Blackberry Pi for attacks.

I learned that this is related to sex & drug trafficking. He was at that location, as it was adjacent to University of Texas at Austin, for recruiting. He was at a hotel, because it was easier pickings for his group with lower risk of prosecution from travelers and inherent protection regarding privacy laws around guests and what law enforcement are allowed to access.

Other reasons that he was hacking, were secret.
