The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Dr. Greg Stanton is the foremost authority in the English language on this topic. We defer to him on these calculations, with the observation that the time has come to recognize “class genocide” as opposed to “ethic genocide.” In the USA, for example, the number of individuals dying from poverty is at genocide levels. The number of people dying from toxins that have been legalized by a corrupt US Congress is at genocide levels.
All of the short-cuts are decommissioned, they are the one thing we could not switch from Sweden.

Generally we find it most productive to search via Google adding source=phibeteaiota
The various directories for articles & chapters, briefings & lectures
In transferring OSS.Net from Sweden to the USA, the one thing we have not gotten a grip on yet is the old short-cuts, such as /Amazon, /OSINT, /Peace, etcetera.
However, searching the /term via Google can lead to the proper page, which in this instance is:
http://www.oss.net/extra/news/index.html@module_instance=1&id=2679
leading to the Peace Intelligence Page with all historical links NOT transferred to Phi Beta Iota.
Book One is here, when found via Google with Phi Beta Iota error message, use the work-around (removing month and year and related slashes) to get a working address. Google will reindex everything from the deep database over the next 30 days.

Book Two, published in raw form only, is here:
We have discovered that despite the site having a search capability that is supposed to be of, by, and for Google, it is actually better to search on Goggle proper, adding < site=phibetaiota > without the brackets to the search. If you know something is a graphic, or an article, or briefing, you can use those Directories within the middle column of Phi Beta Iota to scan.
Here is what you were looking for, and more, which is why we always have a human in the loop on the machine search strings. There are of course pathologies galore in requirements definition, collection management, collection at every level, processing (largely non-existent), budgets, consumer relations, and public/political positioning.

Here are the two short–cuts to previous searches for the same term:
Search: organizational intelligence
Search: organizational intelligence 2.0
Searching for the terms today produces a very interesting range of postings.
Ultimately, there is a deep connection between four conceptual groups:
intelligence with integrity (individual, organizational, national)
organizational intelligence / smart nation
collective intelligence, evolutionary consciousness, reflexivity
conversation, culture, co-creation
There is so much Human Intelligence (HUMINT) embedded in this site that the automatic search results are not at all satisfactory.
First off, technology is not a substitute for human intelligence, and research is not a substitute for experience. NSA still does not have a computer as good, light, fast, and agile as a human brain.
Second off, when managed properly, HUMINT span at least the obvious 15 slices that we have identified, and is the core for intelligence with integrity. Everything else is peripheral. From “do not send a spy where a schoolboy can go” to multinational, multiagency analytics, intelligence with integrity should be at least 70% of the focus of effort (it's okay for technical — and processing — to cost 70% of the total, but if you cannot process what collect, you should be expeditiously retired and your budget dramatically cut.
Thirdly, human treason and crime including white collar corruption and financial terrorism are the sucking chest wound in the body of the Republic. The traitors among us — and the politicians, appointees, and flag / senior executive service who have foresaken their oath to defend the Constitution in favor of craven loyalty to the chain of command and the military industrial congressional complex, and the biggest threat to all of us. Before we can get serious about global clandestine intelligence at the neighborhood level of detail, we need to get three things right: domestic counterintelligence; foreign multinational clandestine field stations; and multinational analytics both classified and unclassified. All of this is HUMINT. Neither CIA nor DIA nor how to do modern HUMINT, nor do they want to. We need to cleanse the temples of annuitants and retarded seniors homesteading on their privileged positions. We especially need to get rid of a retarded security system that cannot distinguish between field sharing (multinational HUMINT) and home all-source sharing — two different things that are NOT in conflict.
Finally, HUMINT takes place in the context of the human condition. Poverty is the #1 high-level threat to humanity, and anyone unable to understand that this is the context within which US predation creates blow-back and push-back has no business being in charge of anything. We are our own worst enemy – Washington is not in friendly hands; Washington lacks both intelligence and integrity.

Phi Beta Iota: No one does this correctly for multiple reasons. Tracking dollar inputs or dollar outputs is virtually useless as a means of achieving outcomes, and often the agencies and departments do not even have desired outcomes, just low-rent budget share agreements. To get this right you need:
a) True cost information spanning the full spectrum of threats, policies, and options
b) A national strategy centered on the public interest, not the private interests that now own the government
c) Intelligence with integrity in the development of coherent Whole of Government campaign plans — this especially demands an end to government loopholes, subsidies, earmarks, and other forms of corrupt micro-management and administrative law that serve only to force more political money into play
d) Honest accounting including a commitment to zero inflation and no myths about the future
e) An Office of Management and Budget that can actually Manage, not just Budget
