Intelligence Reform 101

The White House does not understand this and the mandarins fear it.  The minute OSINT becomes fully operational, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should begin demanding 20% cuts in the secret disciplines and in contractor “butts in seats” that are in violation of the inherently governmental nature of secret intelligence.  This is not to say those individuals should be laid off, only put on the government payroll if needed, at one third the price we pay now to bloated contractor bureaucracies.

With help from a talented person who must remain anonymous at this time, this was crafted years ago at a time when we thought Intelink-U would be allowed to mature and handle 90 or more countries.  It is still stuck at 11 and has zero ability to ingest the multiple firehoses that are easily assembled today.

Pioneered by LtCol Beavers and others in Bosnia, this remains the single most brilliant depiction of what all of our inter-agency task force networks should like like.  This is not rocket science, it just requires integrity, intelligence, and imagination on the part of each Commander.

This remains the intellectual property of Robert Steele and is the core concept for ultimately creating a World Brain and EarthGame that engage all human minds and connect all humans to all information in all languages all the time.

Both the Open Source Information System – External (OSIS-X) and Intelink – X will be United Nations “virtual clouds” that achieve a degree of assured security that is good enough through to the secret level, and thus able to engage all in what the Swedes call Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Sharing and Sense-Making (M4IS2).

This was the basic OSINT cell recommended to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in 1990.  We still need to get to where every Agency and every major Command and every partner across each of the other seven tribes of intelligence has such a cell, and they are all linked in a global Open Source Information System – External (OSIS-X) that is NOT controlled by the USA.
