“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.

Silencing America as It Prepares for War
The 2016 election campaign is remarkable not only for the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders but also for the resilience of an enduring silence about a murderous self-bestowed divinity. A third of the members of the United Nations have felt Washington’s boot, overturning governments, subverting democracy, imposing blockades and boycotts. Most of the presidents responsible have been liberal – Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama.
Bernie Sanders: Can He Rise to the Moment as Hillary Clinton is Indicted and Joe Biden Co-Conspires with Elizabeth Warren?

Bernie Sanders is at the single most significant turning point in his life. Against all odds (greater odds than those faced by Donald Trump) he has mobilized a generation and restored some semblance of social and economic justice to the Democratic Party's notional position.
It is virtually certain that Hillary Clinton will be indicted before the convention, opening the path for Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren to emerge as the “sensible” alternatives to what many see as two impossible choices. Donald Trump — still our favorite for pure disruption reasons — has begun to self-destruct — if he does not get a professional policy staff that can address all threats and all policies with evidence-based decision-support in the context of a balanced budget, America will be voting for “least idiot” rather than “best president.”

Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog, the book that changed the world
Stewart Brand was at the heart of 60s counterculture and is now widely revered as the tech visionary whose book anticipated the web. We meet the man for whom big ideas are a way of life
“We are as gods and might as well get good at it,” wrote Brand on the title page of the Whole Earth Catalog. Up until now, he noted, power has been in the hands of “government, big business, formal education, church”. But now “a realm of intimate, personal power is developing – power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by the Whole Earth Catalog.”
