Well, the reason is that as I look around the corners right now, what I have seen has led me to leave my current position at the University of California, Irvine, where I run a cybersecurity institute and focus on what I believe is the most important security mission for the coming decades. I believe that the US, Canada and all Western democracies and Israel, Australia, etcetera, so not just Western, are already in a global conflict with authoritarian regimes principally. The People's Republic of China and Russia to determine whether democracy will be replaced with authoritarianism in the 21st century. And I see it exactly that starkly. I'm not using hyperbole. This competition, I believe, is going to determine our great grandchildren's future and whether our children will have to fight a hot war or this competition will be resolved through technology and expertise. And This is why I'm leaving my job at USUC. I've been working with the White House and Treasury on a number of cyber security initiatives. I took a position as general counsel to a startup on quantum encryption a few years ago, and now I'm honored to support Plural Ox Vital Mission.

The mission and the threat are real. It is only in the past couple of years that many outside outside of Goveenment are beginning to understand the threat landscape. Wish you continued success!

Interesting take on a potentially existential threat to democracy with Cyber Security and Semiconductor dominance being the modern day arms race of the next few decades. Curious to hear thoughts on this.

A great insight into the problems facing #MartynsLaw I still have issue with the enhanced tier being for any venue with 800+ capacity. This includes most Nightclubs, which would endure the same, legislation, expense & conditions as a 100,000+ capacity stadium of global notoriety I did reach out to many groups and individuals on this matter to freely offer my insight, but it seems nobody wanted the expertise & knowledge from someone with 5 decades of experience in Nightclubs, including 2 riots, 3 terrorist threats (false alarm) and countless incidents of bringing the general public, of all ages and types, into my Nightclub in times of danger To freely gain information it must first be guaranteed to be received 'without' fear of consequence to your business When a venue reports a crime the venue and its staff must be praised, a Tick of approval NOT a cross that may be used against them EG: most owners will never willingly report drug use near their venue for fear it may jeopardise their licence Hospitality venues of all types are not places to fear or legislate against as places of Higher Risk, if done correctly these premises can and should be used as A Point of Safety
