Walter: Israel Pushes Palestine Toward DIY Weaponized Rocketry
Cultural Intelligence, Peace Intelligence
When Israel blockades Gaza they create an incentive for Hamas aligned groups to develop technologies that shouldn't exist – like DIY weaponized rocketry.
Gaza: How the resistance manufactures its rockets with help from Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah
Leading figures in the Palestinian resistance explained the difference in cost between manufacturing rockets locally and smuggling them from Iran. They said, “Locally made rockets are almost as powerful as smuggled ones, but cost less. The cost of a rocket like the one used to bomb Tel Aviv does not exceed $5,000, while a smuggled rocket may cost up to $15,000.” Regarding short-range rockets, for example, the cost of a smuggled 107-type rocket is around $800, while the same rocket can be made locally for $110.

Netanyahu Implies Threat to Assassinate Obama in Recent Speech?
Given the reference to a “grassy knoll” in a recent speech from Israel PM Netanyahu, as noted below by writer Raimondo, we hope Mr Obam's Secret Secret security arrangements are in much better shape than they were when another head of the Secret Service was in charge up to a few weeks ago:
“The famously combative Israeli Prime Minister went on to say:
“When there are pressures on Israel to concede its security, the easiest thing to do is to concede. You get a round of applause, ceremonies on grassy knolls, and then come the missiles and the tunnels.”
Robert Steele: Intelligence 101 – The Series
Advanced Cyber/IO
This is the original series created in 2004 for the Military Intelligence Academy in Italy, where Carol Dumaine then on active duty with CIA also offered two excellent lectures rooted in her Global Futures Partnership concept. I sense that the tide is turning — there is now a willingness among some policy makers and select senior professionals to reconsider their premises and their processes. In 1995 Bob Gates spoke immediately after me at a French national conference. After my remarks he strode up to the podium, sniffed, and said “I'm not going to touch that.” Today Bob Gates sounds like me — I find that both troubling and interesting. If ever America needed intelligence with integrity, now is that time.

OSE Translator – Spanish – Franco Vergara
Spanish
Franco Vergara is an ambitious, passionate individual, always in search of new challenges. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he currently resides and works as a computer security analyst at an important bank in the city. Music and IT are two passions he has had since childhood, and that he daily strives to improve because of their vital importance to his life and sense of purpose. On his musical side, he is a guitarist and drummer, and, with a true passion for his craft, he is always in search of the “perfect sound,” whose definition is heavily influenced by heavy metal and 90’s rock. His IT affinity was a self-taught effort that began when he encountered a computer for the first time, a Commodore 128, upon which he modified (among other things) the presentation of computer games using their very source code. He graduated as a systems analyst in IT and has a degree in IT from the Institute of Higher Technical Education and Blais Pascal University, respectively. In 2009, he traveled to Cambridge, England to take a course to improve his English and, for many years, devoted many hours of his life to another of his passions: custom motorcycles. He is the proud owner of a completely custom motorcycle and is actively involved in motorcycle clubs and forums, in addition to taking excursions, both short and lengthy, along Argentine routes.

Cultural IntelligenceHungary internet tax cancelled after mass protests
The draft law – condemned by the EU – would levy a fee on each gigabyte of internet data transferred. The protesters objected to the financial burden but also feared the move would restrict free expression and access to information.
