Also created for THE NEW CRAFT OF INTELLIGENCE.  With geospatial tagging where it is today (as the General Defense Intelligence Council was told it needed to be in 1988), there is no reason why all policy, budget, and consequence assessment information cannot be sliced and diced down to the zip code and neighborhood level.  The reality is that information asymmetries and handicaps perpetuate the excessive consumption of the few at the expense of the many.  Absent a revolution in human affairs–which we do believe is imminent–weapons of mass deception will be the norm in America and everywhere else.

This was created for THE NEW CRAFT OF INTELLIGENCE and has yet to be realized, in part because Google is busy claiming ownership of everything it can touch while offering nothing in the way of sense-making.  Similarly, Amazon is focusing on Kindle (and will reach in and delete all your electronic books if your subscription ever lapses) while completely ignoring the World Brain and “mico-sale” opportunities that were pointed out to them in a standing-room only conference for their developers.  What we have learned from this is that top-down companies will never invest in bottom-up needs–IBM, Oracle, CISCO, all of the big companies are blind to the leverage attendant to empowering the single individual human brain.  Only Nokia appears to be properly focused, and even there, they lack the call center and cloud aspect partnerships that Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Russia could provide.

These remain the three core documents for OSINT available to the public. Any White OSINT training document that is restricted and cannot be shared with multinational individuals is not pure OSINT and is suspect.  Similarly, any White OSINT that is “classified” is not OSINT and reflects no credit on those producing it.  See them and others useful compilation in the Handbook section of this Public Intelligence Blog.

This is the slide that grabbed General Peter Schoomaker, USA (Ret), the ONLY Army flag officer that has ever understood OSINT in detail.  General Schoomaker's intelligence and integrity are the sole reason the U.S. Government has today exactly ONE serious OSINT capability as represented by J-23 at the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).  Everything else is fluff, lip service, and broken promises.
