Spelling matters, but in this case, the human in the loop is glad to have a chance to highlight the below reference, which is available for all countries in the world on a case by case basis.

Review: Terrain Analysis of Afghanistan

East View Cartographic; East View Arabia, China, Russia Access All is the only stop we make when we need cartographic or terrain products. They are the ones who noticed and then pointed out to the USG that the Russians had mapped all the tunnels but put the text on the reverse side of their combat charts–no one spoke Russian at NGA.  We once got an entire border region from them, both sides, 1:50,000, not available from the NGA within a couple of days.  They are also the organization that made it possible for the UN Eastern Force Commander to finally get the Dutch to create $3 million in 1:50,000 charts as shown in the below link.

Sadly, we had to give up comments, and searches are the best way for us to be responsive to what individual visitors are looking for.  Here are three results, only the last of which yields satisfactory results.  You can also send an email (About).  If AFRICOM ever decides to go for the gold and BE the 21st Century multinational stabilization harmonizer, we'd like to hear from them.

We're re-thinking the entire site, but for the time being this is as good as it gets.  USE THE MIDDLE COLUMN.  To see ONLY events, click on Events in the middle column.  Similarly to see only Journal click there, only reviews, click there.  WordPress is reverse chronological in nature, so you automatically get the most recent, but in doing searches, need to persist to the end for “root.”  Three interesting searches today, each addressed below the line.

Search: osint models

Searches

Although the search produces a number of hits, including Graphic: OSINT Competing Models, it misses Graphic: OSINT Two Views as well as some larger references because OSINT is out and M4IS2 (Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Sharing and Sense-Making is new new meme in town, originating with the Swedish military and specifically Col Jan-Inge Svensson and his colleagues at the Folke Bernadotte Academy.

NEVER confuse our passion for public intelligence with a desire to eliminate the secret world.  On the contrary, Rule 1 for our multinational concept is “Feed the High Side First.”  Rule 2 prohibits the high side from controlling open source sharing among all multinational stake-holders.  This is all outlined in Search: The Future of OSINT [is M4IS2-Multinational].

We also distinguish between getting OSINT right within the all-source secret environment, and getting public intelligence right outside of and completely independent from the secret environment.  Within the secret intelligence world, OSINT is still at the fourth-grade level, as least in the USA and outside the Nordics and Netherlands, here are a few graphics understood by but not yet accepted in contradistinction to the current paradigm within that community.  Absent Integrity, no one will get to where we need to be.

The searches are of enormous value to us in identifying what folks are looking for and when they don't find it, how we can improve.  Based on a number of searches that appear to originate from law enforcement on one side and NATO/multinational on the other, we have restructured the Handbook index and now offer:

We really appreciate searches as pointers, especially so now that we have had to turn off comments to avoid hijacking by Russian spammers.  This is an inspiring search, here are a few links it led us to.

Quantum Information is not the same as Computational Mathematics, where Google is in the forefront.  Both suffer from a lack of attention to sense-making and a general avoidance of attention to the Internet Economy Meta Language (IEML) being developed by Pierre Levy, a Collective Intelligence thought-leader.  While mathematics may be inherently non-lingual, concepts and sense-making demand an appreciation for language that is lacking in mathematics–this is why no one of weight is helping advance the World Brain & Global Game.
