Open Source Intelligence Requires an Open Source Agency
What: An Open Source Agency (OSA) is a legal, ethical intelligence-gathering and decision-support capability, relying exclusively on sources and methods that are open. It is a support hub serving all elements of the federal government and the nation as a whole. It is an essential means for tracking the information explosion in all the hundreds of languages we do not speak. Open source principles ensure OSA’s dedication to intelligence that is not secret, not expensive, and fully sharable, i.e. democratic.
The Intelligence Services Are The Real Conspiracy Theorists

David Shayler is a former intelligence officer with MI5, the UK's domestic security service. In 1997, he blew the whistle on MI6 funding Al Qaeda to assassinate Colonel Qadhafi of Libya. He will be writing on intelligence and security issues, and Common Law as the solution to the world‘s problems.
Earlier this month, the prestigious US magazine Life became the latest mainstream publication to attack ‘conspiracy theorists'. It cited the usual list of concerns – Agenda 21; chemtrails; weather manipulation; Obama's birth certificate – dismissing conspiracy theorists as gun-totin' right wing Christian extremists.
Hearteningly, the comments in response to the article proved that actually the thinking man in the street has seen through these kind of glib assertions on the part of journalists well-rewarded by the mainstream for their ignorance and inhumanity.
Attached for your information is a press release from Glevum and our Afghan partners, which presents the findings of two exit polls that we conducted during and after the June 14th election. Our teams conducted 2,206 face-to-face interviews at 51 polling stations in ten provinces on the 14th. At the same time we also conducted 2,749 telephone interviews from June 14th to June 16th, with respondents who confirmed they had voted at the election. The results are as follows:
| Face to Face Exit Poll Ashraf Ghani – 53% Abdullah Abdullah – 47% |
Telephone Exit Poll Ashraf Ghani – 54% Abdullah Abdullah – 46% |
These results are in line with our polling last week and suggest a conclusive victory for Ashraf Ghani.. Below is our documented report.

According to psychological lore, when it comes to items of information the mind can cope with before confusion sets in, the “magic” number is seven.
But a new analysis by a leading Australian psychiatrist challenges this long-held view, suggesting the number might actually be four.
Rising Startup Tamr Has Big Plans for Data Cleanup
An article Gigaom is titled Michael Stonebraker’s New Startup, Tamr, Wants to Help Get Messy Data in Shape. With the help ($16 million) from Google Ventures and New Enterprise Associates, Stonebraker and partner Andy Palmer are working to crack the ongoing problem of data transformation and normalization. The article explains,
“Essentially, the Tamr tool is a data cleanup automation tool. The machine-learning algorithms and software can do the dirty work of organizing messy data sets that would otherwise take a person thousands of hours to do the same, Palmer said. It’s an especially big problem for older companies whose data is often jumbled up in numerous data sources and in need of better organization in order for any data analytic tool to actually work with it.”

Hacked off with slow download speeds the locals of Löwenstedt clubbed together the cash to build their own super-fast internet service to the delight of the village's tiny population.
Too isolated and with few inhabitants, the tiny village of Löwenstedt in northern Germany is simply too small to show up on the radars of national Internet operators.
So the villagers took their digital fate into their own hands and built a broadband Internet network of their own.
