Legally Immoral Activity?
Testing the Limits of Intelligence Collection
for conference to be held 11-12 February 2020
at The Citadel, Charleston, SC

Paper deadline is 15 October 2019

Are there limits to intelligence collection in support of national security? Where, if at all, does a free and open society provide the limits of surveillance? Civil liberties are a founding tenet of democracy, but at what cost? How does a country balance collective security with individual rights? Recently, a Federal Court ordered Apple to help the FBI unlock the cellphone of a terrorist, but company officials would oppose that order, citing concerns over the privacy rights of all Americans.
This 2-day inter-disciplinary conference will examine the legal, ethical, social, economic, historical and political aspects of the United States government's ability to protect its citizens in an era that warfare has no societal or personal boundaries.

Call for paper presentations, workshops/interactive sessions, and posters/exhibits are welcome.

The conference will be held 11-12 February 2020 on the campus of
The Citadel in Charleston, SC.
Deadline for proposals and abstracts must be received by 15 October 2019.
Inquires and Submissions should be sent to

Why Federal Employees Need Professional Liability Insurance
Sponsored By: Starr Wright USA   March 13, 2018
Imagine being accused of misconduct while on the job, then draining your bank account — or even depleting your retirement savings — defending yourself against the claim. While no federal employee likes to think it could happen to them, the scenario is all too common: Whether through an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint, an accusation of misuse of government funds, or litigation in the form of a civil or criminal lawsuit, federal employees are often targeted by allegations, complaints and investigations. Contrary to popular belief, in some cases the Department of Justice may choose not to provide defense, leaving employees to protect their careers, reputations and finances on their own. Even in cases of baseless claims, legal fees, damages and other costs may run into the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, placing employees' — and their families' — financial security at risk. In a litigious climate defined by uncertainty and shrinking budgets, federal employees at all levels face catastrophic risk, due to liabilities that may arise while on the job. Fortunately, federal employees can protect themselves and preemptively mitigate this risk through Federal Employee Professional Liability Insurance.

Hunting the Caliphate: America's War on ISIS and the Dawn of the Strike Cell
by Dana J. H. Pittard and Wes J. Bryant
(Post Hill Press, Aug 2019)

In the summer of 2014, three years after America's full troop withdrawal from the Iraq War, President Obama authorized a small task force to push back into Baghdad. Their mission: Protect the Iraqi capital and U.S. embassy from a rapidly emerging terrorist threat. 

A plague of brutality, that would come to be known as ISIS, had created a foothold in northwest Iraq and northeast Syria. It had declared itself a Caliphate—an independent nation-state administered by an extreme and cruel form of Islamic law—and was spreading like a newly evolved virus. Soon, a massive and devastating U.S. military response had unfolded.

Hear the ground truth on the senior military and political interactions that shaped America's war against ISIS, a war unprecedented in both methodology and application of modern military tech. Enter the world of the Strike Cell, secretive operations centers where America's enemies are hunted and killed day and night. This is the realm of the Special Operations JTAC, American warfighters with the highest enemy kill counts on the battlefield.

The Geography of Risk: Epic Storms, Rising Seas, and the Cost of America's Coasts
by Gilbert M. Gaul
(Sarah Crichton Books, Sep 2019)

The author outlines the clash between economic interests and nature, the heated politics of regulators and developers, and the impending catastrophe as seawaters rise and homes, towns, cities and crucial national security infrastructure go under the waves.

Five of the most expensive hurricanes in history have made landfall since 2005: Katrina ($160 billion), Ike ($40 billion), Sandy ($72 billion), Harvey ($125 billion), and Maria ($90 billion). With more property than ever in harm's way, and the planet and oceans warming dangerously, it won't be long before we see a $250 billion hurricane. Why? Because Americans have built $3 trillion worth of property in some of the riskiest places on earth: barrier islands and coastal floodplains. And they have been encouraged to do so by a confounding array of federal subsidies, tax breaks, low-interest loans, grants, and government flood insurance that shift the risk of fancy beachside homes for the rich from private investors to public taxpayers, radically distorting common notions of risk.

These federal incentives have resulted in one of the worst planning failures in American history, and the costs to taxpayers are reaching unsustainable levels. We have become responsible for a shocking array of coastal amenities: new roads, bridges, buildings, streetlights, tennis courts, marinas, gazebos, and even spoiled food after hurricanes.

United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America (And What We Can Do About It)
by Mickey Huff and Nolan Higdon
(City Lights Publishers, Aug 2019)

The role of news media in a free society is to investigate, inform, and provide a crucial check on political power. But does it do any of these things?

The authors "challenge our hegemon-media's ideological mind control and the occupation of human thought. Huff and Higdon correctly call for mass critical resistance through truth telling by free minds."—Peter Phillips, author of Giants: The Global Power Elite.

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

NSA Launches Cybersecurity Arm To Defend The U.S. From Foreign Adversaries. The National Security Agency (NSA) has announced its intention to create a cybersecurity directorate this fall in a bid to defend the U.S. against foreign adversaries. It comes at a time of increasing election interference by foreign nations such as Russia as part of an ongoing strategy to destabilize the West.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the move forms part of a wider effort to more closely align the agency's offensive and defensive operations. The NSA said via Twitter: "Start spreading the news, #NSA is operationalizing intelligence to secure the country."

It is expected the NSA's cybersecurity directorate, which will become operational on October 1, will be headed up by Anne Neuberger who already has a lead role at the U.S. intelligence agency.

The latest move by the NSA coincides with a broader fusion of the intelligence agency's offensive and defensive portfolios, the Wall Street Journal said. This has been taking place for several years and expanded under U.S. Cyber Command and NSA chief General Paul Nakasone. [Read more: O'Flaherty/Forbes/24July2019]

Canadian Board Rules Elena Crenna Wasn't a Russian Sex Spy, But Orders Her Deported Anyway. The federal government has issued a deportation order against an Ottawa woman it alleged worked as a Russian "sex spy" in the 1990s, ruling she's inadmissible to Canada on security grounds.

Following hearings in Montreal in December, the immigration appeal division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada issued its decision in late June. It found Elena Crenna, 57, engaged in "acts of espionage contrary to Canada's interest" and is to be deported.

Crenna, a Russian-born American citizen who's been living with her Canadian husband in Ottawa since 2013, said her initial reaction to the ruling was to laugh at how unreasonable it seemed.

"But then the shock set in," Crenna said on Monday. [Read more: Feith/MontrealGazette/29July2019]

Sudan Army Ruler Renames Feared Spy Agency. Sudan's feared spy agency, the National Intelligence and Security Service, which used deadly force against pro-democracy protesters, has been renamed by the country's army ruler, the agency's chief said Monday.

The agency, widely known as NISS, launched a sweeping crackdown on street protests which erupted in December against now ousted leader Omar al-Bashir.

NISS, a key tool of Bashir to repress dissent, will now be called General Intelligence Service (GIS), its chief Lieutenant General Abu Baker Mustafa said in a statement. [Read more: NTV/30July2019]

Ukrainian President Appoints Deputy Head of Foreign Intelligence Service. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Kateryna Sliadneva as deputy chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Service.

The relevant decree was published on the website of the head of state.

"To appoint Kateryna Sliadneva as deputy chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine," the document says.

As reported, on June 11, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Vladyslav Bukharev as head of the Foreign Intelligence Service. [Ukrinform/25July2019]

UK Hosts Five Eyes Intelligence Summit. UK Home Secretary, Priti Patel, is hosting a two-day summit in London of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the US and the UK.

The countries will discuss key security concerns from emerging threats, cybersecurity, encryption and the ‘illegitimate' use of the internet.

The summit will see the Patel say: "Protecting the public from emerging threats needs continued and closer cooperation between international allies"

Patel said: "This is an exciting moment for the UK as we look to respond to a challenging and rapidly changing global environment, strengthening our influence on the world stage to promote our prosperity and security. [Read more: Lye/ArmyTechnology/29July2019]

Law Changes Provide for a Civilian to Head Bulgaria's Military Intelligence. Bulgaria's Parliament adopted on July 26 at second reading the amendments to the Military Intelligence Act that provide for either a civilian or a military officer to hold the post of head of Military Intelligence, reports BNT.

The draft law provided for the director of the Military Information Service, the oldest Bulgarian intelligence service, to be a civilian person. At first reading, the government was sharply criticized for tailoring the law to benefit a particular person. President Rumen Radev, who belives that the military intelligence chief must necessarily be military and have the necessary expertise, experience and professional training, was also against the decision.

Before the changes, the law required that the person in this post should have military service and a senior rank. [Novinite/27July2019]

Section II - CONTEXT & PRECEDENCE

Public Attitudes on US Intelligence. Since before his inauguration, President Trump vigorously rejected the judgments of the US intelligence community (IC) on Russia's interference in the 2016 elections and repeatedly attacked these agencies and their former leaders. In 2018, the president accused the IC of spying on his 2016 campaign. The president's supporters labeled the IC as an anti-democratic "deep state" hostile to the administration. Despite this unprecedented antagonism from the president, most Americans, including Republicans, continued to express confidence in the IC. Indeed, survey results from summer 2018 show a slight improvement from 2017 in public views of the IC's effectiveness. While these results will likely reassure IC leaders, they should pay close attention to wide variations that emerge among generational groups, particularly among younger Americans whose attitudes may be malleable but are shaped by formative experiences. Americans in the youngest generational cohort analyzed here (Millennials) are less likely to see the IC as playing a vital role in warning against foreign threats and less likely to say the IC is effective in preventing terrorist attacks.

The 'Red Spy Queen' Who Shocked America-and the Soviets. Soviet spies called her "umnitsa," or clever girl. The FBI called her "Gregory" and the Bureau's early cables described her as "he." The tabloids, when they got a hold of her story, called her the Red Spy Queen, and for a time during the Communist witch hunts of the 1940s and '50s, no person on earth was more despised by the American Left than Connecticut-born, Vassar-educated Elizabeth Bentley.

She was portrayed as a drunk, a slut, and you can be sure names were used for her that nobody would print in those days, even in counterintelligence memos. Toward the end of her life and career as an FBI source, as she grew increasingly hard up for money and impatient with the agents handling her case-all of them men annoyed by her demands-they frequently resorted to the same explanation in their internal communications. As one of her biographers wrote with appropriate irony, "According to the FBI, Elizabeth Bentley had the longest menopause in recorded history."

When looking at her story, one is always tempted to write, as many have, "Had Elizabeth Bentley been a man..." But had she been anyone other than the woman she was she would not have had the combination of smarts, guts, a romantic sense of adventure and sheer desperation that led her to do what she did.

Learn How to be a Spy from Previously Unpublished KGB Training Manuals. Ever wanted to try your hand at espionage?

If you have, Michael Weiss hopes that his translations of unearthed KGB training manuals once used to prepare Soviet intelligence officers may be just what you're looking for.

Presented by The Interpreter, a daily translation and analysis journal that focuses on Russia, "The Lyubanka Files" translation project will dive into Soviet Russia's history of espionage, subversion and subterfuge.

These never-before-published documents, which date from the 1970s and '80s, come with titles like "Opportunities for use of Psychological Methods" (1988), "Some Aspects of Training of Agents and Psychologically Influencing Foreigners" (1985), and "Exposure of Disinformation in Intelligence Materials" (1968).

Is ASIS Feeling Unloved? Foreign Spy Agency Boss Sees the Benefits of Being Open. Keeping mum is business as usual for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) but its director-general has decided there are also benefits to popping up in public from time to time.

"No media and no profile presents its own problems, so here I am," says ASIS chief Paul Symon, speaking at length in a podcast produced by the Australian Institute of International Affairs.

The rare interview was handled by public policy expert Alan Gyngell, the president of the institute and a former head of the Office of National Assessments - a central agency in the intelligence community now superceded by the Office of National Intelligence.

There are two reasons ASIS might want to be slightly better known in the community: public confidence and recruitment, both of which came up in the long conversation. [Read more: Easton/TheMandarin/30July2019]

Section III - COMMENTARY

The Scientist-Spy Who Spilt Secrets of the Bomb. Frank Close begins Trinity, his book about the physicist and Second World War spy Klaus Fuchs, obliquely. He starts not with Fuchs's eight-year stint sending top-secret details of British and US nuclear bombs to the Soviet Union, but with his mentor and eventual confessor, Rudolf Peierls.

Close - emeritus professor of physics at the University of Oxford, UK - hasn't written the first biography of Fuchs, but his must be the most comprehensive. As he explains, Fuchs was an anti-Nazi refugee from Germany and a student at the University of Bristol, UK, when he met Peierls, a brilliant nuclear physicist who had left Germany in 1932 to eventually become a British citizen. Peierls invited Fuchs to join a group of scientists at the UK Ministry of Aircraft Production, called the MAUD committee and tasked with determining the feasibility of building an atomic bomb in Britain.

Peierls had helped to explain the atomic nucleus. [Read more: Finkbeiner/Nature/29July2019]

Shadow Force: The Secret History of the U.S. Intelligence Community's Battle with Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The hackers pretended to be professors, appealing to Achilles' heel of academics: their egos. Posing as admiring colleagues from other universities, they emailed their targets, claiming they had enjoyed their articles and wanted to read more of their work. The emails contained links to articles the "professors" claimed they could not access.

Once the actual professors clicked on these links, they were redirected to what seemed to be the login page for their universities, making it appear they had somehow inadvertently signed out. But the login page was fake. And once the professors entered their usernames and passwords, the information was captured by the hackers, who then had free rein over their accounts.

This wasn't the work of run-of-the-mill cybercriminals. In March 2018, federal prosecutors in New York unsealed a shocking indictment: nine Iranians, prosecutors said, working on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), had undertaken a "massive, coordinated" hacking campaign that targeted hundreds of universities across the globe, including 144 based in the United States, as well as private U.S. and European companies, U.S. federal agencies and state governments, and the United Nations.

Xi's Nameless Spies Have Never Come In From The Cold. In May 2017 Yao Zijian, aged 102, was guest of honour at an extraordinary ceremony in Beijing. As the oldest surviving Chinese spy, he found himself in a crowd of hundreds: parents and children of Chinese secret agents who have fought on the "underground front" since the founding of the Chinese Communist Party - in the war of espionage.

The occasion was the 90th anniversary of the Central Committee Special Branch (Zhongyang Teke), the oldest of the Chinese secret services, set up in Shanghai on November 11, 1927, under the aegis of future prime minister Zhou Enlai. Later renamed the CCP Central Investigation Department (Zhongyang Diaochabu), it was for a long time the main political intelligence service, led until the 1980s by Luo Qingchang.

Luo's son, General Luo Yuan, addressed a speech to the offspring of these "great soldiers of the covert war", lauding the qualities of the "nameless agents", who were unwaveringly "loyal, fearless, cautious when alone, alert, capable and helpful to each other... (T)he spirit that every party member and soldier should learn from".

This was more than an exercise in homage to the heroic underground militants who engaged in historic espionage, first against the French and British in the Shanghai concessions, then against Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang and spies from Japan. As those in the audience were surely aware, this secret war is an ongoing reality under President Xi Jinping today. [Read more: Faligot/TheAustralian/27July2019]

[AFIO will identify authors by name and current or former title only ― no multi-line biographies.] If your suggestion is a good fit for this project, we will respond asking for your comments on that event, not to exceed 1,500 words (excluding footnotes).
When you send your article and bio, please let us know if you have ever had prior employment or contract work within the US Intelligence Community -- and, to meet pre-publication review requirements, supply a copy of the official approval letter or email you received back, naming and clearing for publication the article you are sending us. Without this, we are unable to consider or include your article in the publication.

As with most nonprofit academic publications, contributors will not be paid, however AFIO will publish under broad, pro-educational Creative Commons copyright. Therefore, authors retain the right to use their articles anywhere else they wish, after its publication in Intelligencer.
Eight weeks after publication of your contribution in the print-only version of Intelligencer, the article will then appear on AFIO's website for general public/educational access. Since the time of 1) an article's acceptance, and 2) appearance in print, and then 3) inclusion online can run eighteen months to three years from start-to-finish, a title-author listing of all accepted forthcoming articles (but no summaries) will be included in a print edition of Intelligencer and online. So it is imperative authors be patient as these articles are released on this serialized basis, in our two or three journal issues per year. By submitting an article to us authors acknowledge and accept these provisions.

This project would make a good class assignment. Accepted articles would give students a publication credit in a recognized journal.

Again, if you wish to participate or explore more aspects of this project, email Peter Oleson at peter.oleson@afio.com.

Larry Loftis is the author of Code Name: Lise―The True Story of the Woman Who Became WWII's Most Highly Decorated Spy, the story of Odette Sansom (1912-1995), a Frenchwoman living in England, wife of an Englishman and mother of 3 daughters, who was recruited into Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) to conduct espionage in France during WW II with her commander, and yet-to-be second husband, Peter Churchill. Leaving her daughters in a convent school and with relatives, she joined the rigorous training program, becoming proficient with a wide range of weapons, learning the fine points of spycraft, and perfecting her new identity with the code name Lise. In France she proved herself fearless. Hunted by the Germans, in 1943, Odette and Peter were captured, imprisoned, and tortured. Loftis describes Odette's ordeal in grisly detail. Two lies saved her: She pretended that she and Peter were married (they would be after the war) and that Peter was related to Winston Churchill. In defeat, the Gestapo hoped to use her as a bargaining chip.

Vince Houghton PhD, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum, makes his presentation at 1 p.m. on The Nuclear Spies: America's Atomic Intelligence Operation against Hitler and Stalin.

Wednesday 4 December 2019, 5:30 p.m. - New York, NY - AFIO NY Metro Chapter hosts CIA Officer (Ret) Dr. John A. Gentry discussing "IC Political Activism since 2016 -- Origins and Implications."

Partisan political activism by current and former intelligence officers since mid-2016 is the largest and most significant politicization of intelligence by intelligence officers in U.S. history. This presentation will explore the causes and the wholly negative consequences of this new form of politicization for the IC and the country.

Dr. John A. Gentry was for 12 years an intelligence analyst at the CIA, where he worked mainly economic issues associated with the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries; for two of those years he was senior analyst on the staff of the National Intelligence Officer for Warning. He is a retired U.S. Army Reserve officer, with most assignments in special operations and intelligence arenas. On active duty, he was executive officer of a special forces operational detachment. As a reservist, he was mobilized and spent much of 1996 as a civil affairs officer in Bosnia. Dr. Gentry also is an adjunct associate professor with the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University. He formerly taught at the College of International Security Affairs, National Defense University, at the National Intelligence University, and at George Mason University. His research interests primarily are in intelligence and security studies. He publishes frequently in Intelligence and National Security and International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence. Georgetown University Press published his co-authored book, Strategic Warning Intelligence: History, Challenges and Prospects, in early 2019. He is a member of the Editorial Committee of the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence. He is adjunct professor at Georgetown University.

Gift Suggestions:

AFIO's Guide to the Study of IntelligenceAFIO's 788-page Guide to the Study of Intelligence. Peter C. Oleson, Editor, also makes a good gift. View authors and table of contents here.

Perfect for professors, students, those considering careers in intelligence, and current/former officers seeking to see what changes are taking place across a wide spectrum of intelligence disciplines. AFIO's Guide to the Study of Intelligence helps instructors teach about the large variety of subjects that make up the field of intelligence. This includes secondary school teachers of American History, Civics, or current events and undergraduate and graduate professors of History, Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and related topics, especially those with no or limited professional experience in the field. Even those who are former practitioners are likely to have only a limited knowledge of the very broad field of intelligence, as most spend their careers in one or two agencies at most and may have focused only on collection or analysis of intelligence or support to those activities.
For a printed, bound copy, it is $95 which includes Fedex shipping to a CONUS (US-based) address.
To order for shipment to a US-based CONUS address, use this online form,
