The institute's maps played a vital role in a federal jury's decision last year to award the excluded Coal Run residents almost $11 million in damages from the city of Zanesville and Muskingum County. The supporting evidence was strong on its own: African-American residents without water had made repeated requests over a period of almost 50 years to remedy the inequity, to no avail. Instead, they had to haul water from the plant or pump it from wells contaminated with sulphur and oil from old mining operations. In the interim, Zanesville had extended its water lines on numerous occasions to new, predominantly white developments that were farther away from the water plant than Coal Run.

This is HUGE in our view, and a tiny micorcosm of how We the People in the aggregate will sort out the massive concentration of wealth that has been made possible by corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse all condoned and made possible by the Republican and Democratic parties in collusion with Wall Street (and especially Goldman Sachs).

The above first appeared in “The Cloak and the Blue Beret: Limitations on Intelligence in UN Peacekeeping, chapter 19 in PEACEKEEPING INTELLIGENCE: Emerging Concepts for the Future. His earlier article “Intelligence and Peacekeeping: The UN Operation in the Congo, 1960-1964” remains the single best exposition of how to use intelligence as the foundation for successful peacekeeping.

Dr. Dorn updated the above for the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on National Security Intelligence (Loch Johnson, Ed., March 2010 release) and shared the updated version above via electronic mail.

This is, in our humble opinion, the single most important sentence in the entire literature of intellience, from a practical stand-point. There are other sentences on ethics, on leadership, on focus, but in terms of the root nature of the intelligence discipline and all that is wrong with the USA approach to this discipline, this sentence is our favorite.

It is the last sentence on the last page of his second book, BODY OF SECRETS.

This is Figure 2 in Chapter 1 of INTELLIGENCE for EARTH: Clarity, Diversity, Integrity, & Sustainability. The 20% that the UN receives today is based on UN input associated with our creation of the Class Before One Briefing, the UN slide as provided to Robert Steele can be found therein. For other UN intelligence training materials, see UN Intelligence Training.

The original conceptual depictions of “competing influences” on individual decision-makers were first developed by Dr. Greg Treverton teaching the Intelligence Policy Seminar at JIF School of Government, and Jack Davis, dean of the U.S. Intelligence Community scholar-analysts. The “eight tribes” (previously seven) are original to Robert Steele. Steele's adaptation of Davis-Treverton first appeared as Figure 17 on page 53 of ON INTELLIGENCE: Spies and Secrecy in an Open World (AFCEA, 2000).
