Search: osint [as of 21 Oct 2012] – Public Intelligence Blog

0Shares

WordPress search results are presented in reverse chronological order, and osint is a very old concept, since replaced by M4IS2. OSINT is also only relevant in the context of a larger contruct, ethical evidence-based decisions in support of policy, acquisition, and operations. Our understanding is that the US Government has eliminated the ADDNI/OS position and that most OSINT contracts have either been terminated, or are en route toward termination. OSINT has never been done properly within the USG, and absent an Open Source Agency outside the secret world, never will be. China seems to be in the lead now, with a deliberate focus on every other language except English; if there is a World Brain and Global Game in the future, it will probably be funded by and centered on China.
