Vault deploying abroad during our summer quieter months to offer assistance to Eastern African state forces in aggressively stopping sexual violence against women and girls especially on human trafficking by violent and armed actors.
We’ve had to sign NDA agreements to allow this work to continue and so will not be able to share photos of this work, but already the trafficking of young women and girls has been severely debilitated as of today. We can’t share immediate positive results either.
At Vault we don’t entertain pointless NI tea and buns community meetings that achieve absolutely nothing.
Violence against good people will be stopped by violence against bad people. As per the last millennia of human nature. Other mechanisms exist but must be in support of what demonstrably works.
More general Vault posts and not just VSAD will follow:

All,
In the last 2 consecutive days in Europe there was an anti-gay Islamic terrorist attack (for being gay) in Germany, and then an Islamic terrorist attack on women in Paris (for being women).
We live under a state society here that will not protect you all because of politics.
You must use such force as is necessary to stop such an attack, regardless of racist, bigoted and sexist commentary from main stream media who are politically compromised.
The law is not the government. We teach law, not politics.
We continue to receive intelligence updates from INTERPOL and assess the current picture as dangerous.

Vault instructing tactical fi****ms training.
The figure featured was shot at by someone with zero tactical experience.
We rely on results, not talk.

All,
It has been brought to our attention one of our own was attacked this evening in Belfast centre by a hostile crowd.
This person successfully defended and escaped this attack and reported the incident to the PSNI. They are being supported by Vault.
Self defence is like first aid. You must have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

It is with deep sadness that I have learned of the death of one of our black belt students
Mariusz Tynski.
Mariusz had trained with us for many years and will be missed.

Last night at 2230 in North Belfast a Sudanese man attempted to behead a local man aged ~45.
Thankfully members of the public quickly intervened, some in these circumstances legally and rightfully armed with weapons, which no doubt saved this victim’s life. Those members of the public should be highly commended for their brave actions.
Only one mainstream media news outlet attended the scene last night and there was yet again an obvious initial desperate attempt to minimise this attack because of the skin colour of the attacker.
This was not a “stabbing”
This was not a “fight”
This was not a “man who disagreed with someone”
It should not be for Vault to have to report facts, but we pride ourselves on not being racist or politically compromised. We mention this after having received a large number of messages, highlighting the importance of accurate information being shared promptly on serious attacks.
All lives matter.
That one may walk in peace.

Vault assisting with prototyping courses dealing with when the bad guys aren’t on land. Most of this can’t be photographed. This takes a huge amount of work in risk assessments, specialist knowledge, experience, team effort and coordination.
So really just a typical Vault class 🤓
