more than 150,000 American and Allied soldiers stormed the beaches
of Normandy to save the world from tyranny. The OSS Society
produced an award-winning short documentary about
D-Day: "Operation Overlord: OSS and the Battle for France"
which tells the story of Allied special forces whose daring
exploits changed the course of World War II. The film
includes an introduction by The Honorable Leon
Panetta. It was written and directed by Carl
Colby, an award-winning documentary filmmaker
whose father, William Colby, jumped into
Nazi-occupied France as an OSS Jedburgh. The film's executive
producer is Charles Pinck, The OSS Society's
president. Stealing US Secrets In Universities for China Fifty-four scientists have lost their jobs as a result of NIH probe into foreign ties. Some 54 scientists have resigned or been fired as a result of an ongoing investigation by the National Institutes of Health into the failure of NIH grantees to disclose financial ties to foreign governments. In 93% of those cases, the hidden funding came from a Chinese institution. The new numbers come from Michael Lauer, NIH's head of extramural research. Lauer had previously provided some information on the scope of NIH's investigation, which had targeted 189 scientists at 87 institutions. But his presentation today to a senior advisory panel offered by far the most detailed breakout of an effort NIH launched in August 2018 that has roiled the U.S. biomedical community, and resulted in criminal charges against some prominent researchers, including Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University's department of chemistry and chemical biology. [Article continues here....Mervis in AAAS Science, 12 June 2020 with thanks to ANDMagazine.com for ref.] Jack Devine, Former CIA DDO, has released this 12 June 2020 list of special intelligence/national security topics from the Arkin Group in their "Other News" email to their private clients: Here is a roundup of some significant global developments you may have missed this week:
One of the special benefits of membership in AFIO: access to CIA's inhouse gift shop — the EAA Store. It requires a quick preapproval process described here to all newly joined and current AFIO members. And then allows you to purchase online their unusual logo'd gift items for self or colleagues. Here is the latest photo EAA released on June 12 featuring some of their newest items: Newly Released, Overlooked, or Forthcoming Books In the Dark of War: A CIA Officer's Inside Account of the U.S. Evacuation from Libya "Sarah Carlson has a compelling story to tell. In the Dark of War offers unusual insight into the dramatic evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Libya in 2014. And, in doing so, she also provides a deeply personal account of her traumatic experience as an intelligence analyst supporting that breakneck withdrawal. Read this book." — David Priess, former CIA officer and author, The President's Book of Secrets "From the eyes of a former CIA officer stationed in Libya after the horrific 2012 events in Benghazi, ... you will see the nasty and dangerous world of terror, along with the never-ending challenges of protecting American diplomats overseas." — Fred Burton, VP, Stratfor; former State Department special agent, author "[This is]...Carlson's first-person, boots-on-the-ground story of the chaos in Tripoli after the fall of Libya. To experience the complex inner workings of an Embassy in crisis, its heroic and dedicated state department officers, is riveting. Under the constant threat of attack, the book is the story of American patriots at their best. It is a story of dedication, sacrifice, and what life is like on the front lines of a nation falling into the abyss of a failed state." — Ken Nolan, screenwriter of Black Hawk Down "Simply riveting. Sarah Carlson is nothing short of a hero. This beautifully written book reads like an engrossing novel, yet is stunningly true. Little is known of the struggles that those left in Libya faced after the attacks in Benghazi, and Ms. Carlson's bravery played an instrumental role in saving lives. ...will inspire many more." — Tracy Walder, author of The Unexpected A CIA officer's inside account of how Libya's descent into rampant violence precipitated the harrowing overland evacuation of the entire U.S. Mission from Tripoli after being trapped in the city for weeks. Most of the world is aware of the tragic events surrounding the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. Most are also aware of the resulting political controversy in Washington. But few know what happened next in Libya. While said controversy in Washington subsided, the volatility in Libya escalated—threatening the brave men and women who remained behind to continue the U.S. mission. Book may be ordered here. The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos Portrait of young Jewish women who fought in the Polish resistance during WWII. Drawing from "dozens of women's memoirs" and "hundreds of testimonies," Batalion documents an astonishing array of guerilla activities, including rescue missions for Jewish children trapped in Polish ghettos, assassinations of Nazi soldiers, bombings of German train lines, jailbreaks, weapons smuggling, and espionage missions. Provides a detailed account of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. She spares no details recounting the sexual violence and torture these women endured, and notes numerous reasons why their stories aren't better known, including male chauvinism, survivor's guilt, and the fact that the resistance movement's military successes were "relatively miniscule." —Publishers Weekly Book may be ordered here. |

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS US Intelligence Bill Takes Aim at Commercial Spyware Makers. A newly released draft intelligence bill, passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, would require the government to detail the threats posed by commercial spyware and surveillance technology.The annual intelligence authorization bill, published Thursday, would take aim at private sector spyware makers, like NSO Group and Hacking Team, who build spyware and hacking tools designed to surreptitiously break into a victim's devices for conducting surveillance. Both NSO Group and Hacking Team say they only sell their hacking tools to governments, but critics say that its customers have included despotic and authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. If passed, the bill would instruct the Director of National Intelligence to submit a report to both House and Senate intelligence committees within six months on the "threats posed by the use by foreign governments and entities of commercially available cyber intrusion and other surveillance technology" against U.S. citizens, residents and federal employees. [Read more: Whittaker/TechCrunch/11June2020] Former DEA Official Pleads Guilty to Elaborate $4 Million Fraud Scheme. A former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) public affairs officer pleaded guilty this week to defrauding at least a dozen companies of over $4.4 million by posing falsely as a covert officer of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Special Agent in Charge James A. Dawson of the FBI's Washington Field Office Criminal Division made the announcement Garrison Kenneth Courtney, 44, of Tampa, Florida, pleaded guilty before Senior U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady. Sentencing has been scheduled for Oct. 23, 2020. According to court documents, Courtney falsely claimed to be a covert officer of the CIA involved in a highly-classified program or "task force" involving various components of the United States Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense. [Read more: AllOnGeorgia/14June2020] Marran Confirmed to Second Term as Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service Director. Upon the proposal of Minister of Defense Jüri Luik (Isamaa) and the Security Authorities Surveillance Select Committee of the Riigikogu, the Estonian government on Thursday approved Mikk Marran for a second five-year term as director general of the Foreign Intelligence Service. According to Luik, Marran has done a good job thus far during his first five-year term, and shown himself to be both highly professional and a good leader. Members of the Security Committee of the Government of the Republic are also very familiar with his work. Luik added that he was very glad that Marran agreed to serve a second term, as intelligence is a very sensitive field, and its objectives are long-term. [Read more: ERR/11June2020] Panel Advances Changes to Clearance, Other Policies. The Senate Intelligence Committee has approved S-3905, an intelligence agencies reauthorization bill containing changes to security clearance and other personnel policies for those agencies. Full details are forthcoming, but the measure would create policies spanning the intelligence community requiring the publication of guidelines for granting, denying, or revoking a security clearance and preventing the revocation or denial of a clearance for reasons of discrimination, political beliefs, or retaliation. It also creates a government-wide appeals process, chaired by the Director of National Intelligence, for individuals to appeal denials of requests to overturn a decision made at the agency-level to deny or revoke a clearance or crossover request. [Read more: Fedweek/9June2020] Canada Spy Agency Warned of 'Shock Waves' From Arrest of Huawei Founder's Daughter. Canada's intelligence agency warned that arresting the daughter of billionaire Huawei founder Ren Zheng would set off global "shock waves" and seriously affect ties with China, just before her detention in Vancouver on a U.S. extradition request, new court documents show. Released on Friday, the documents show the involvement of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the December 2018 arrest of Meng Wanzhou, which soured diplomatic ties between Ottawa and Beijing. Meng is chief financial officer of China tech giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the company at the center of next generation 5G wireless technology and a long-running dispute the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

[Read more: Meduza/15June2020] Glorifying Sex and CIA in Vietnam War-Era Bangkok. When the US Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) most macabre paramilitary officer Tony "Poe" Poshepny demanded and received the hacked-off ears and heads of communists in Laos during the Vietnam War, no one likely predicted he would become an exhibit in a museum in Bangkok's red-light zone. The new Patpong Museum, on Patpong Road, also describes why US intelligence and military officers, airlines, IBM, and others rented buildings alongside sleazy bars packed with prostitutes, especially during the Vietnam War which ended in 1975. "In 1957, we have the American Chamber of Commerce here. We have the US Information Service Library here. We have Shell Oil here. Pan Am, TWA," the museum's founder and curator Michael Messner said in an interview. [Read more: Erlich/AsiaTimes/14June2020] 'Spy City: The History of Espionage in New York City' Interactive.

When you think about military aircraft, you probably think about fighter jets, or big bombers made to decimate enemy forces. But, none of those aircraft can do their job without reconnaissance paving the way for a solid operations plan. Known colloquially as a spy plane, reconnaissance aircraft are built to fly into or around enemy territory, gathering intelligence about enemy movements, troops, and equipment in order to get a bigger picture of their plans and goals. The first of these spy planes were crude, with simple cameras mounted to front-line combat aircraft and troop transports, but as with any military technology, advancements come at a break-neck pace. Between the end of WWII and the early '60s, these spy planes went from simple piston-engine aircraft to futuristic speed demons like the SR-71 Blackbird. But, with advancing satellite imagery, spy planes once again had to adapt to survive. In their modern form, spy planes are all about snooping into electronic transmissions, hijacking radio waves and signals to listen in to enemy communications. So read on, to see 15 of the most effective spy planes and the roles they followed: [Read more: Young/HotCars/14June2020] On Intelligence, Forecasting, and Risk. On April 1, The Nation magazine published an article with the breathless headline "Exclusive: The Military Knew Years Ago That a Coronavirus Was Coming." The article went on to highlight some remarkably prescient details from a draft US Northern Command plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Disease Response drafted in January of 2017. It discussed the potential for a flu-like pandemic and shortages of things like ventilators and masks. While the magazine might be forgiven for the attention-grabbing headline - it certainly wasn't the only one - it does raise some important questions about what it means to "know" something in the intelligence business, what it means to forecast, and what is done to manage risk. The best way I have seen to think about risk is as an equation an Army general taught me: Risk = probability of something bad happening × the consequences/ability to manage the consequences So if something very bad is likely to happen and your ability to deal with it is very low, your risk is high and vice versa. To lower your risk, you invest in the capabilities to deal with bad things. Most of us do this to some degree in our everyday lives. [Read more: Levinston/Inkstick/11June2020] Spy Cases Map Contours of Kremlin Geopolitics. Suddenly, spies are in the news again. Former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan has been convicted of receiving classified information. A Russian scientist has been accused of passing secrets to China. A Russian diplomat in Prague was, for a while, wrongly identified as an assassin. Taken together, these cases tell us something about Russia's place in the world and, more to the point, its mindset.
