Welcome!

 Welcome to my corner of the web! I’m Alex. Most of my friends call me Al. I'm a seasoned OSINT practitioner with over a decade of experience in national security, strategic research, and policy advocacy. I break down open-source intelligence techniques, review OSINT software, and offer services to help you navigate the info landscape. My focus? Israel’s security, combating antisemitism, and turning raw data into actionable truth.

My background spans leading intelligence teams, disrupting extremist plots, and shaping U.S. foreign policy. I’ve written for major outlets, uncovered game-changing stories, and seen how OSINT can shift narratives and hold power accountable. With a foundation in political science, Jewish studies, and Middle East dynamics, I’ve got a knack for connecting dots—and a personal drive to fight antisemitism that fuels everything I do.

Here, you’ll find practical OSINT how-tos, in-depth software reviews (from free tools to pro-grade platforms), and services like custom research or training for those ready to dig deeper. I'm not anonymous, but this blog isn't really about putting a spotlight on myself. The work matters more than the name recognition. Based in the U.S., I’m still active in the field, chasing leads and pushing for impact.

Expect insights on foreign policy and politics; strategies to counter hate; and tools to empower your own investigations. Whether you’re a pro, a hobbyist, or just curious, let’s uncover the truth together. Stick around—there’s plenty to explore.
