Grand Strategy: No Candidate Is Serious…

To keep America safe we need to have a government (including military and police) that works as it should as well as a society that works for all; and to stop destabilizing the world while putting America – the 99% disenfranchised economically, politically, and socially – first. Getting there is not rocket science; it requires a Grand Strategy and intelligence with integrity.

The last modern Grand Strategy review was conducted at the direction of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953 – Project Solarium. Everything since then, including our Quadrennial Defense Reviews and our National Military Strategy, has been a mélange of platitudes devoid of holistic analytics, true cost economics, or devotion to the public interest.

To the Secretary also reveals the disconnect that diplomats face at home, guided by conflicting approaches from multiple Washington stakeholders intent on their own agenda, often unaware of realities on the ground. In an honest assessment of America’s foreign policy challenges, Thompson-Jones describes the deepening gulf between decision makers in Washington and their diplomats in the field. From misinterpreted analyses of anti-Americanism to Washington’s unwillingness to send resources to support diplomatic activities that could make a difference, To the Secretary shows what policymakers can learn from diplomats abroad―and how this can strengthen America’s place in an unstable world.

“The Real Truth About the Paris Agreement” – Yosef – 6.10.16

“…secretly it actually houses the intentional legal framework for implementing a new global gold treaty that resets the world's monetary system as well as all currencies (aka “The RV”).

As China will be the last to ratify, so that they can have the honor of setting the world free economically–this as a well deserved tribute the Keepers of the Global Collateral accounts (aka the Chinese Elders and Grandfather as their leader).

“Do Not Send a Spy Where a Schoolboy Can Go…”

5 May 2016

Open Source Intelligence is human resources – not technical. That was the message when Robert David Steele provoked 150 intelligence personnel from defense, police and the business community at a seminar on Open Source Intelligence at the Defence Academy.

By MARIANNE SMEDEGAARD HANSEN

CORRUPTION! Open Source Intelligence is today just a small part of Intelligence work in American, Danish and NATO [systems]. But it is here the resources should be increased. So says Robert David Steele, CEO and former CIA officer who is one of the pioneers in the field of Open Source Intelligence. He is a big proponent of the concept, which covers the intelligence gathering that can be achieved through open sources such as social media, databases like Jane's and not least through human resources directly.

Academics in Foxholes

The Life and Death of the Human Terrain System

Christopher Sims, Foreign Affairs, 4 February 2016

The U.S. government’s controversial effort to harness the social sciences in support of its counterinsurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, in an initiative known as the Human Terrain System, was one of the most ambitious and innovative efforts of the post-9/11 era to help warfighters make sense of conflict’s inherent chaos.   . . .   More than 1,000 personnel were deployed during its duration, from 2007 to 2014 at a total cost of nearly $750 million, making the Human Terrain System the largest investment in a single social science project in U.S. government history.
