November ICAC Courses and New Course Offerings

intelligence_cycle

by Sam Culper

I’ve updated the training page, along with the dates for Boise and Spokane.  If you’re not already in comms, then shoot me an email to reserve a seat.  I’m limiting these courses to ten students so we can have time to address specific issues and answer questions.

In December or January, I’ll be able to hold an ICAC in Atlanta and/or Knoxville.  Email me if interested.

I’ve revamped the Intelligence Collection & Analysis Course (ICAC), going more in-depth in some areas and omitting others.  The Security Manual is now pre-course required reading, which will free up an entire of morning for more material.

The new and improved ICAC will also incorporate a time-sensitive simulation for tasking out intelligence collection, analyzing incoming information, and threat planning/operations.

New Courses?

Depending on interest, among a few other factors, I may include some new courses like The Targeting Process, Source Operations, or Psychological Operations.

U.S. and U.K. Attack Independent Journalists

The U.S. government is targeting whistleblowers in order to keep its hypocrisy secret … so that it can keep on doing the opposite of what it tells other countries to do.

As part of this effort to suppress information which would reveal the government’s hypocrisy, the American government – like the British government – is treating journalists as terrorists.

Journalism is not only being criminalized in America, but investigative reporting is actually treated like terrorism.

The government admits that journalists could be targeted with counter-terrorism laws (and here). For example, after Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges, journalist Naomi Wolf, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and others sued the government to enjoin the NDAA’s allowance of the indefinite detention of Americans – the judge asked the government attorneys 5 times whether journalists like Hedges could be indefinitely detained simply for interviewing and then writing about bad guys. The government refused to promise that journalists like Hedges won’t be thrown in a dungeon for the rest of their lives without any right to talk to a judge

After the government’s spying on the Associated Press made it clear to everyone that the government is trying to put a chill journalism, the senior national-security correspondent for Newsweek tweeted:

Serious idea. Instead of calling it Obama’s war on whistleblowers, let’s just call it what it is: Obama’s war on journalism.

Obama: Virginia ‘cannot afford’ Cuccinelli

President Obama on Sunday sought to link Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli to Tea Party Republicans in Congress, noting that Virginia was one of the states hit hardest by last month’s government shutdown.

“I know sometimes folks in Congress can get away with acting irresponsibly, acting like compromise is a bad word, maybe it’s good for their political prospects or maybe it’s good for their political districts,” Obama said at a rally for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. “But you cannot afford to have a governor who’s thinking the same way.”

“The governor — that’s a practical job. That’s what a governor does,” he said. “They can’t afford to be to be ideologues, they’ve got to be able work with everybody and compromise and get the job done.”

Obama spoke at a McAuliffe rally at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va., urging McAuliffe supporters to turn out and vote in Tuesday’s race, even though the former Democratic National Committee chairman has a comfortable lead in most polls.

“Nothing makes me more nervous than when my supporters start feeling too confident, so I want to put the fear of God in all of you,” Obama said. “Virginia historically has always been a swing state, and this race will be close because past races in Virginia have always been close.

Google’s Schmidt ‘outraged’ by NSA snooping

Allegations of intrusive data collection by the National Security Agency have “shocked” and “outraged” executives at Google, according to chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt.

“I was shocked that the NSA would do this — perhaps a violation of law but certainly a violation of mission,” Schmidt told CNN. “This is clearly an overstep.”

Schmidt was speaking just days after documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the agency has apparently tapped into the fiber optic cables that carry data between the servers of major American tech companies including Google and Yahoo.

Mystery explosion at Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor

Iran's heavy water plant at Arak

Iran’s heavy water plant at Arak

Tehran did its utmost to conceal the mystery blast which last week struck the heavy water reactor under construction at Arak in western Iran. It is revealed here for the first time by DEBKAfile’s intelligence and Iranian sources.  The explosion, whether accidental or not, will delay for a second time the reactor’s first test with real fuel. Tehran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency in August of a previous holdup.

The cause of the blast and the extent of the damage it caused have not yet been established. According to the partial information initially reaching our sources, it occurred inside the reactor building when preparations were underway for a test scheduled for this month with artificial fuel and light water. The site of the explosion may have been the large coolant containers and the pressure gauges attached to the reactor’s core.
Iranian Atomic Council experts and intelligence agents are testing four possible causes of the explosion:

1. Sabotage.

2. A virus planted in the computers that control the systems administering the test.

Suzanne Somers: The Affordable Care Act Is a Socialist Ponzi Scheme

I’ve had an opportunity to watch the Canadian version of affordable health care in action with all its limitations with my Canadian husband’s family. A few years ago, I was startled to see the cover of Maclean’s, a national Canadian magazine, showing a picture of a dog on an examining table with the headline, “Your Dog Can Get Better Health Care Than You.” It went on to say that young Canadian medical students have no incentive to become doctors to humans because they can’t make any money. Instead, there is a great surge of Canadian students becoming veterinarians. That’s where the money is. A Canadian animal can have timely MRIs, surgeries and any number of tests it needs to receive quality health care.

My sister-in-law had to wait two months to get a General Practitioner. During this period she spent her days in bed vomiting continuously, unable to get any food or drink down because she couldn’t get an appointment with the doctor. When she finally did, the doctor said, “Oh you don’t need me, you need a specialist.” That took another two weeks until she got a pill that corrected the problem.

When?

The following information on Obamacare is from the past 24 hours. The point is simple: as the Affordable Care Act implodes, our Congressional leaders are using it for political motives. We understand that this will be the main issue for the 2014 election cycle and it will devastate the Democrat party in Congress if this course is unchanged. And then what?

We need leaders who will stand up for the people and the Constitution, not political parties. It is quickly becoming apparent that Obamacare was designed to fail. As more money is poured into this black hole, we have to ask what is the real end game? Whether it is a stealth tax, wealth redistribution scheme or a Cloward-Piven strategy to bring down our government, the bottom line is that the people will lose. If our leaders know this (and I believe that they do), then their end game can only be personal wealth and power at the expense of the country. And our Liberty.

So we play a waiting game. Waiting to see what the “creature” will do to its creator:

In the first formation of a government the society may multiply its precautions as much, and annex as many conditions to the enjoyment of its rights, as it shall judge expedient; but when it has once adopted a constitution, that constitution must be the measure of its discretion, in providing for its own safety, and in prescribing the conditions upon which its privileges are to be enjoyed. If the constitution declares that persons possessing certain qualifications shall be entitled to certain rights, while that constitution remains in force, the government which is the mere creature of the constitution, can divest no citizen, who has the requisite qualifications, of his corresponding rights. It may indeed enact laws and annex to the breach of them the penalty of forfeiture; but before that penalty can operate, the existence of the fact, upon which it is to take place, must be ascertained in that mode which the constitution and the fundamental laws have provided.

Alexander Hamilton

When is the only question left to answer. Unless the creators reign in or destroy their own creature.
