The Dundee Braveheart: Scotland’s “Mockingjay” and the Alarming Gaps in Community Security

Image
A Viral Act of Defiance A teenage girl in Dundee , Scotland, has ignited global debate after she pulled out a knife and an axe to defend herself and her younger sister from an alleged migrant pursuer. The Economic Times reports that the suspect was accused of attempting to molest the girls during the confrontation. While police praised the swift arrest of the man, they also charged the girl under Scottish law for brandishing weapons in public — sparking an uproar on social media. The video has since gone viral, and the young girl has been dubbed both the “Dundee Braveheart” and the “Scottish Mockingjay.” Much like Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games , she has come to represent a symbol of defiance against a government that many believe is failing to protect its citizens. The Symbolism of the “Scottish Mockingjay” In the fictional Hunger Games universe, the Mockingjay became a rallying emblem against oppressive systems. In Scotland today, this teenage girl’s actions resonate with a ...

Chinese-Owned Farmland: A Growing U.S. Security Threat?

Image
Chinese entities now hold 277,336 acres of U.S. agricultural land as of December 31, 2023, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report. While that number represents less than 1% of all foreign-owned farmland, security experts warn that the location of these properties—sometimes near military bases—poses risks that extend far beyond the agricultural sector. 📍  Check out the map of Chinese-owned farmland in the U.S. below: Concentration of Chinese-Owned Land The USDA data shows significant concentrations in: Texas : 123,708 acres North Carolina : 44,263 acres Missouri : 42,905 acres Utah : 33,035 acres Florida : 12,798 acres Together, these five states account for 93% of the acreage held by Chinese entities. Alarmingly, 30 U.S. military installations now sit within 100–150 miles of Chinese-owned farmland—14 parcels of which are located in the same county as a base.

Workplace Sexual Harassment: How Private Investigators and Security Are Shaping the Response

Image
Sexual harassment in the workplace remains a serious issue across the United States. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , out of nearly 90,000 workplace discrimination charges filed annually, about one-third are related to sexual harassment . These cases span from inappropriate comments to severe forms of sexual assault. What’s more troubling is that many incidents go unreported . Studies show that up to 75% of harassment cases are never formally filed , as employees fear retaliation, damage to their careers, or being dismissed as troublemakers. This creates a toxic environment that impacts not only the victim’s mental health but also workplace culture, morale, and productivity. When harassment is reported, it must be taken seriously. Investigations should be thorough, discreet, and impartial —which is where private investigators play a critical role. 🔎 How a Private Investigator Can Help in Sexual Harassment Cases Private investigators bring uniq...

Loose Documents, Big Consequences: How the John Bolton and the FBI Case Affects Business, Security, and Leadership

Image
The FBI raid on former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s home and office for allegedly mishandling “highly sensitive” classified documents has captured global attention. While framed as a political story, its lessons reach far beyond Washington — straight into the boardrooms and C-suites of corporate America . This isn’t only about Bolton or politics. It’s about leadership accountability , information security , and the dangerous consequences of careless document handling in any high-stakes environment. 🧩 From Politics to Business: The Risk Is Universal Bolton, once one of the nation’s top security officials, is under federal investigation for allegedly passing sensitive material to family members. ( AP News ) While the DOJ has yet to announce charges, the case underscores a simple truth: if information can leak at the top levels of government, it can just as easily happen inside a company. For businesses, “sensitive documents” often mean: M&A plans worth billions,...

Loose Lips in Public Places: Why OPSEC Still Matters While Traveling for Business Leaders

Image
The other day at the airport, I was waiting for a flight. I overheard a gentleman nearby talking openly about a current business venture, complete with specific details about transactions, partnerships, and financial arrangements. In the military, this would be a textbook OPSEC (Operational Security) violation . Service members are drilled on this constantly: never discuss sensitive details in public spaces, especially while traveling. Yet in the corporate world, executives and employees often forget that the same rules apply. Why It’s a Problem Airports, hotels, coffee shops, and lounges are prime environments for corporate espionage . Competitors, hackers, and even foreign intelligence services monitor these environments, sometimes intentionally sitting close to executives to capture information. “If you’re discussing deal terms or company strategy loudly in an airport lounge, you may as well publish it on LinkedIn. That’s how quickly information travels,” said Jereme Dozier, CE...

The Rise of Online Emotional Affairs — and the Hidden Financial Scams Behind Them

Image
In an era where relationships, communication, and even intimacy have shifted to the digital space, online emotional affairs are becoming one of the fastest-growing forms of infidelity. Unlike traditional physical affairs, these relationships often begin and exist entirely on social media platforms, messaging apps, and dating sites . While some view these as “harmless” or “just online friendships,” private investigators and security professionals know the reality: digital affairs can destroy marriages, expose victims to blackmail, and even lead to significant financial losses . 1. Emotional Affairs in the Digital Age Online emotional affairs often involve: Deep personal conversations Confessions and emotional intimacy Exchange of private photos or videos Plans for in-person meetings that may never occur What makes these particularly dangerous is plausible deniability. P artners engaged in them often insist they aren’t “cheating” because there’s no physical contact. Ho...
