The Spymaster of Baghdad: A True Story of Bravery, Family, and Patriotism in the Battle against ISIS


Released 15 March 2022

Margaret Coker, Investigative Journalist,
discussing her 2021 book, The Spymaster of Baghdad: A True Story of Bravery, Family, and Patriotism in the Battle against ISIS

Interview of Wednesday, 9 February 2022 of Margaret Coker, discussing her 2021 book, The Spymaster of Baghdad: A True Story of Bravery, Family, and Patriotism in the Battle against ISIS.
It tells the dramatic yet intimate account of how a covert Iraqi intelligence unit called "the Falcons" came together against all odds to defeat ISIS. The Falcons, comprised of ordinary men with little conventional espionage background, infiltrated the world's most powerful terrorist organization, ultimately turning the tide of war against the terrorist group and bringing safety to millions of Iraqis and the broader world. Centered around the relationship between two brothers, Harith Sudani, a rudderless college dropout who was recruited to the Falcons by his all-star younger brother Munaf, and their eponymous unit commander Abu Ali, The Spymaster of Baghdad follows their emotional journey as Harith volunteers for the most dangerous mission imaginable. With piercing lyricism and thrilling prose, Coker's deeply-reported account interweaves portraits of these and other unforgettable characters as they navigate the streets of war-torn Baghdad and perform heroic feats of cunning and courage.
Host: James Hughes, AFIO President, a former CIA Operations Officer.
The interview runs 23 minutes. The book is available here

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Putin Allegedly Places His Senior Spies under Arrest for Faulty Ukraine Intelligence - 15 Mar 2022
There are growing indications that a number of senior Russian intelligence officials have been placed under arrest, reportedly because the Kremlin is blaming them for its stalled military campaign in Ukraine. Some intelligence officials are believed to have been detained and interrogated, while others are said to have been placed under house arrest in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Information about the alleged detentions of senior intelligence officials first surfaced on Friday 11 March on Meduza.io, a Latvia-based news website run by dissident Russian journalists. The website quoted Irina Borogan and Andrei Soldatov, two longtime observers—and critics—of the Russian intelligence agencies. Two days later, the Sunday edition of the British newspaper The Times claimed that several senior members of the Russian intelligence agencies had been detained.

America's Hesitation Is Heartbreaking - 14 Mar 2022
"When you're at war, you're at war," the saying goes, and if so, you have to accept the implications. So too in the present circumstance. The United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia. They are supplying thousands of munitions and hopefully doing much else—sharing intelligence, for example—with the intent of killing Russian soldiers. And because fighting is, as the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz said, "a trial of moral and physical forces through the medium of the latter," we must face a fact: To break the will of Russia and free Ukraine from conquest and subjugation, many Russian soldiers have to flee, surrender, or die, and the more and faster the better.
Thus far the Biden administration has done an admirable job of winning the information war, mobilizing the NATO alliance, and imposing crippling (if not yet complete) sanctions on the Russian economy. It has, it appears, sped the delivery of some weapon systems (notably Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger man-portable surface-to-air missiles) to Ukrainian forces. But beyond those measures to prosecute this proxy war as a war, it is stumbling.
The recent dustup about a Polish proposal to hand MiG-29 fighter planes to the United States to then pass to Ukrainian forces, the deficit being made good by spare U.S. F-16 fighters to Poland, is a prime example of this. On March 6, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Face the Nation:
That gets a green light. In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What could we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they're handing over to the Ukrainians? We're in very active discussions with them about that.

U.S. Veterans Start a 'Resistance Academy' in Ukraine. Will It Backfire? - 12 Mar 2022
American combat troops have come out of retirement to train Ukrainians in the fight against Putin's forces. And nobody knows what will happen next
Three days after the Russian invasion, Hannibal told me he was setting up a group of international military volunteers to fight for Ukraine.
Hannibal — who asked that Rolling Stone not reveal his name because of security concerns — had been a U.S. Army infantry officer with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. He'd joined up in 2005 after graduating from Yale, done multiple deployments to Afghanistan, and after getting out of the military, he'd bounced around in a variety of communications roles.
A burly middle-aged man who switched between enthusiastic appraisals of operas to technical analysis of high explosives midsentence, he'd also spent years in Ukraine, touring the front lines of fighting in Donbass about 10 times between June 2015 and August 2017 as a military-focused writer and analyst. He felt a connection to the country and the people, in part because he had also returned to America with a well-connected Ukrainian wife.
Two days after calling to tell me of his plan, Hannibal had assembled a small team of battle-tested former elite combat officers. Two days after that, I was standing with him and his crew in an old Soviet factory building on the outskirts of Lviv, in western Ukraine. Their footsteps echoed hollowly in its large empty rooms, thick dust clinging to their clothing as they planned a crash course in guerrilla warfare.

What Putin Needs to Negotiate a Deal on Ukraine - 10 Mar 2022
For any outcome to be acceptable, Putin has to be able to portray himself, with the aid of his propaganda apparatus, as a winner.
One of the biggest questions about the war in Ukraine at this point is what Russian president Vladimir Putin's exit ramp would look like. He has too much of his standing and prestige invested in this expedition for the United States and its allies to expect him to execute a U-turn and a tail-between-the-legs withdrawal, even if Ukrainian resistance were to continue being as stubborn and effective as it has been so far. For any outcome to be acceptable, Putin has to be able to portray himself, with the aid of his propaganda apparatus, as a winner.

The New Cold War - 4 Mar 2022
Putin's invasion of Ukraine and partnership with Xi have forced the United States into a new Cold War. Can the United States gain victory this time?
Only the oldest Americans have memories of the 1930s, when German and Japanese power threatened war in both Europe and the Pacific. In those years Americans well recalled the earlier "Great War" and wanted no repeat of it. Isolationism was strong and the Roosevelt administration trod carefully in building American defenses and offering help to allies. Even when war began in Europe in 1939, America stood back until it was directly attacked.
The coming decades may resemble the 1930s more than any other period since. Whether they will lead to a peaceful contest or a conflict that tests the nation as much as or more than did the Second World War is the awful question we now face.
We are not ready — militarily, politically, or psychologically — for the prolonged crisis ahead of us.

Hacked US Companies to Face New Reporting Requirements - 11 Mar 2022
Companies critical to U.S. national interests will now have to report when they're hacked or they pay ransomware, according to new rules approved by Congress.
The rules are part of a broader effort by the Biden administration and Congress to shore up the nation's cyberdefenses after a series of high-profile digital espionage campaigns and disruptive ransomware attacks. The reporting will give the federal government much greater visibility into hacking efforts that target private companies, which often have skipped going to the FBI or other agencies for help.
"It's clear we must take bold action to improve our online defenses," Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who leads the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee and wrote the legislation, said in a statement on Friday.

Sept. 11 Prosecutors Are in Plea Talks That Could Avert a Death-Penalty Trial - 15 Mar 2022
Pentagon Prosecutors Have Struggled for More than a Decade to Hold the Trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and His Accused Accomplices in the Attacks
GANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — Prosecutors have opened talks with lawyers for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and his four co-defendants to negotiate a potential plea agreement that would drop the possibility of execution, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
Guilty pleas in exchange for life sentences could bring to an end the long-running case at the war court, which was set up by the George W. Bush administration and has been mired in pretrial proceedings focusing on the C.I.A.'s torture of the defendants. Nearly a decade after the men were arraigned, the military judge has set no trial start date.
No deal is expected soon. But guilty pleas resulting in life sentences could force the Biden administration to modify its ambition of ending detention operations at Guantánamo Bay and instead rebrand it as a military prison for a few men.
In an earlier, failed attempt at such talks during the Trump administration, the accused plotters demanded that they serve their sentences at Guantánamo, where they are able to pray and eat in groups. They specifically did not want to be sent to the supermax prison in Florence, Colo., where federal inmates are held in solitary confinement up to 23 hours a day.
The five men are accused of directing and training or providing travel arrangements and money to the 19 hijackers who crashed four commercial aircraft into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people. NYTimes Article here

Russia Is Spiraling Toward a $150 Billion Default Nightmare - 15 Mar 2022
Russia's economy is fraying, its currency has collapsed, and its debt is junk. Next up is a potential default that could cost investors billions and shut the country out of most funding markets.
Warning lights are flashing as the government kickstarts the process of paying $117 million in interest on dollar bonds Wednesday, a key moment for debt holders who've already seen the value of their investments plunge since Russia invaded Ukraine last month.
The government says that all debt will be serviced, though it will happen in rubles as long as sanctions — imposed because of the war — don't allow dollar settlements. Failure to pay, or paying in local currency instead of dollars, would start the clock ticking on a potential wave of defaults on about $150 billion in foreign-currency debt owed by both the government and Russian companies including Gazprom, Lukoil and Sberbank.
Such an event will revive memories of previous crises, including Russia in 1998, when it defaulted on some ruble-denominated debt, and Argentina three years later.
Signs of looming financial damage are becoming apparent at many of the world's biggest money managers, including BlackRock Inc. and Pacific Investment Management Co. But it's not likely to be limited to these giant funds. Because much of Russia's debt was rated investment grade just weeks ago, the securities were pervasive across global fixed-income portfolios and benchmarks, meaning the impact could ripple across pension funds, endowments and foundations.
"This will be a monumental default," said Jonathan Prin, a portfolio manager at Greylock Capital Associates. "In dollar terms, it will be the most impactful emerging-market default since Argentina's. In terms of broader market impact, it's probably the most broadly felt emerging-market default since Russia itself in 1998."

Pandemic Fears Give Way to a Rush for Bomb Shelters - 12 Mar 2022
Since Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, European anxiety has shifted from Covid to nuclear annihilation. Bunkers, survival guides and iodine pills are flying off the shelves.
In Sweden, Russia's annexation of Crimea jump-started a "total defense" strategy that had eased after the fall of the Soviet Union. Now, Sweden's Civil Contingencies Agency is testing its air-raid warning system and circulating a Cold War-era-style precautionary pamphlet. The 20-page guide includes a checklist for basic supplies to get from the supermarket to survive on the run or in a shelter.
NYTimes Article here

IF CRISIS OR WAR COMES - This brochure is being sent to all households in Sweden at the behest of the Swedish Government
. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) is responsible for its content. The purpose of the brochure is to help us become better prepared for everything from serious accidents, extreme weather and IT attacks, to military conflicts.
Many people may feel a sense of anxiety when faced with an uncertain world. Although Sweden is safer than many other countries, there are still threats to our security and independence. Peace, freedom and democracy are values that we must protect and reinforce on a daily basis. Public authorities, county councils and regions, municipalities, companies and organisations are responsible for ensuring that society functions. However, everyone who lives in Sweden shares a collective responsibility for our country's security and safety. When we are under threat, our willingness to help each other is one of our most important assets.
If you are prepared, you are contributing to improving the ability of the country as a whole to cope with a major strain. PDF Booklet here

How the Ukraine Crisis Ends - Henry A. Kissinger's Insights from back in 6 Mar 2014 after first invasion
Public discussion on Ukraine is all about confrontation. But do we know where we are going? In my life, I have seen four wars begun with great enthusiasm and public support, all of which we did not know how to end and from three of which we withdrew unilaterally. The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins.
Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side's outpost against the other — it should function as a bridge between them.
Russia must accept that to try to force Ukraine into a satellite status, and thereby move Russia's borders again, would doom Moscow to repeat its history of self-fulfilling cycles of reciprocal pressures with Europe and the United States.

Can We Have Some Real Talk About Ukraine? - 14 Mar 2022
Time to get real. Ukraine is an equal opportunity crisis because it provides politicians of both parties a chance to be wrong, although it allows the Democrats the opportunity to do what they do best and be much, much more wrong. For the Republicans, it lets them indulge the desire of some to return to a time when America could focus its moral firepower – if not its firepower firepower – upon a readily-identifiable baddie like it did during the Cold War or the War on Terror. For the left, it allows them to create a moral panic to replace COVID, which, naturally, requires that we Americans "sacrifice" even more of our freedom and money.

The Rise and Fall of Marie Yovanovitch, Ambassador to Ukraine - 11 Mar 2022
It's hard to remember now that before the Ukraine war there was the Ukraine impeachment scandal. If the war is a tale of heroism, the scandal was a tawdry mess — in which a newly elected President Volodymyr Zelensky was shaken down by President Donald Trump for political dirt in exchange for the weapons that we see now he needed desperately to fight Russia.
The noblest characters in the impeachment melodrama were the State Department Foreign Service officers who tried to represent the United States honorably in Ukraine. Chief among them was Marie Yovanovitch, our ambassador in Kyiv, who was summarily fired by Trump in April 2019. The reason, we later learned, was that her straight-arrow diplomacy had gotten in the way of the machinations of Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani.

Lawmakers Probe Early Release of Top RU Cybercrook - 15 Mar 2022
Aleksei Burkov, a cybercriminal who long operated two of Russia's most exclusive underground hacking forums, was arrested in 2015 by Israeli authorities. The Russian government fought Burkov's extradition to the U.S. for four years — even arresting and jailing an Israeli woman to force a prisoner swap. That effort failed: Burkov was sent to America, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to nine years in prison. But a little more than a year later, he was quietly released and deported back to Russia. Now some Republican lawmakers are asking why a Russian hacker once described as "an asset of supreme importance" was allowed to shorten his stay.
A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Burkov admitted to running CardPlanet, a site that sold more than 150,000 stolen credit card accounts, and to being a founder of DirectConnection — a closely guarded online community that attracted some of the world's most-wanted Russian hackers.

Trump Didn't Cause the Ukraine War - 15 Mar 2022
More than a year into the Biden presidency, Russian President Vladimir Putin has invaded a sovereign neighboring country and, of course, everyone knows who to blame — Joe Biden's predecessor. In an instance of misdirection for the ages, a spate of commentary has pointed the finger at Donald Trump for supposedly creating the predicate for Putin's brutalizing of Ukraine. ... Trump critic Lt. Col. (Ret.) Alexander Vindman, who had a star turn as a witness at Trump's first impeachment, says Trump emboldened Putin and left Ukraine unprepared to defend itself. Former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch says Trump sent the world the message that Ukraine was a mere pawn. A piece in The New York Review of Books says Trump "paved Putin's way."
There is no support for this argument in a world where facts and logic — or basic chronology — mean something.
... It clearly didn't take Trump to give Putin the idea that he could get away with invading Ukraine — he invaded Ukraine and got away with it under the administration of Barack Obama, when, by the way, Joe Biden was vice president. ... Then, there's the fact that Obama steadfastly resisted providing Ukraine lethal aid — after it had already been invaded....[that] it would be too "provocative" to give Ukraine weapons simply to defend itself.

Ukraine Worked With Democrats Against Trump in Election 2016 to Stop Putin. That Bet Backfired Badly - 10 Mar 2022
Six years ago, before Russia's full-scale invasion of their country, the Ukrainians bet that a Hillary Clinton presidency would offer better protection from Russian President Vladimir Putin, even though he had invaded Crimea during the Obama-Biden administration, whose Russian policies Clinton vowed to continue.
Working with both the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign, Ukrainian government officials intervened in the 2016 race to help Clinton and hurt Donald Trump in a sweeping and systematic foreign influence operation that's been largely ignored by the press. The improper, if not illegal, operation was run chiefly out of the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, where officials worked hand-in-glove with a Ukrainian-American activist and Clinton campaign operative to attack the Trump campaign. The Obama White House was also deeply involved in an effort to groom their own favored leader in Ukraine and then work with his government to dig up dirt on – and even investigate -- their political rival. ... But by the end of his first year in office, Trump had supplied Ukrainians what the Obama administration refused to give them: tank-busting Javelin missiles and other lethal weapons to defend themselves against Russian incursions.

Putin's Road to War - Frontline, Airs on 15 March 2022, 9pm/8pm central
For years, we have been examining Russian President Vladimir Putin's rise and how he has wielded power.
Tonight, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues, we'll premiere Putin's Road to War — a documentary special investigating what brought Putin, and the world, to this dangerous tipping point.
Through in-depth conversations with multiple heads of U.S. intelligence agencies, diplomats, Russian politicians, historians and journalists, this special report chronicles defining moments that shaped the Russian leader, the grievances that drive him, and how a growing conflict with the West exploded into war in Europe.
"Vladimir Putin is going to rank up there as one of the worst and most brutal killers of the 21st century," New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser tells us. "And his career in power has been marked by a willingness to use extreme force and violence and war as a tool of his repression, internal and external."

Lessons from the Edge: A Memoir
by Marie Yovanovitch
(Mariner Press, Mar 2022)

Yovanovitch chronicles her career in the Foreign Service, where she has served in a variety of posts, with an emphasis on the Soviet and post-Soviet world. Her father left the Soviet Union as a child, and her mother survived World War II in Nazi Germany. As immigrants in Canada, they met and married in 1958, moved to the U.S. in 1962. The author writes about what she saw as sexism in the State Department, noting how "pale, male, and Yale" was a popular profile of its employees. One of her first assignments was Somalia, an impoverished, corrupt, and dangerous failed state, but she says she did well there. Tours in Uzbekistan and Moscow in the 1990s and Ukraine in 2001 solidified her expertise on Russia and its former provinces after the Soviet Union's collapse, and she rose to become ambassador to Kyrgyzstan in 2005, Armenia in 2008, and Ukraine in 2016. She describes her ambassadorial duties furthering American interests, discouraging and fighting corruption, and promoting capitalism, good government, human rights, and the rule of law. Although successful on many issues, Yovanovitch does not deny that the three ex-Soviet provinces where she served were, and still are, corrupt and ill-governed. She then moved up to become ambassador to Ukraine in 2019 when then-President Donald Trump and allies began pressuring its government to expose corruption...the illegal arrangements a Ukrainian firm had engaged in with the Biden family, with unexplainable million dollar annual payoffs to Hunter Biden. Yovanovitch showed insufficient enthusiasm for investigating that type of corruption, and after strong and public disagreement with the White House, was fired.

The War on the West
by Douglas Murray
(Broadside Books, April 2022)

China and North Korea have concentration camps. Slavery continues to thrive in the Middle East and Africa. Not by whites but by the indigenous, non-white population. Why do Westerners claim our sins are unique? It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world. Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn't we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia? It's not just dishonest scholars who benefit from this intellectual fraud but hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their own ongoing villainy. Dictators who slaughter their own people are happy to jump on the "America is a racist country" bandwagon and mimic the language of antiracism and "pro-justice" movements as PR while making authoritarian conquests as we're watching right now in Ukraine. If the West is to survive, it must be defended. This is an incisive takedown of foolish anti-Western arguments but also a rigorous new apologetic for civilization itself. It's become, he explains, perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of often corrupt, non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some of it is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress, and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. Our national security depends on an honest, cohesive understanding of all that is right in our country, and in western societies.

Border Site Summer: Tales from the Super Secret Army Security Agency
by Jeremiah Davis
(Independently Published - Amazon, March 2022)

Davis takes readers on a tour of a once-secret outpost near what was then the West German border with communist Czechoslovakia. Very few people outside the ASA or the intelligence community know what day-to-day life was like at those border sites, because knowledge of their operations was classified at the time. This book is a fictionalized account of a summer at a remote detachment where the author served as a highly trained linguist and radio intercept operator. The story begins with a history of the locale, which had been used by sentinels as an observation post for hundreds of years. Maps of interest, photographs and links to other documents are scattered throughout the book. The author's descriptions of the young men he served with, the local women they loved and sometimes married, and the everyday business of the unit provide a fascinating insight into Cold War-era signals intelligence operations. This book peeks behind the curtain of secrecy that screened the men of these ASA detachments from the "real" Army. His novel is a notable if unorthodox addition to literature about Cold War military intelligence and ASA..

Call for Papers: "Imagining a New U.S. National Security Act for the 21st century" - Harvard's Kennedy School, Belfer Center, 16 Dec 2021 - Cash Prizes from $5,000 to $1,000

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow to news of: A massive cyber-attack that irreparably damaged financial markets and shut down critical infrastructure, or A significant conventional defeat due to strategic surprise like happened at Pearl Harbor, or The release of a manufactured pathogen that marks the beginning of a new global pandemic. Each of the scenarios above, and others, could be caused in part by a catastrophic intelligence failure. Drawing on the lessons of World War II and in the context of the impending Cold War, the United States Congress passed the National Security Act of 1947 to address institutional challenges and to set favorable conditions for U.S. intelligence and national security. Now, nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century, the National Security Act of 1947 remains the bedrock of the U.S. national security enterprise, but in a world in which the threats and challenges have dramatically changed. We pose an overarching question: If you were starting from scratch, what might a National Security Act for the next 75 years contain to address current shortcomings and to improve intelligence capabilities, structures, and organizations to meet requirements in the years ahead? The Intelligence and Applied History Projects at Harvard's Belfer Center invite submissions for an essay contest on imagining a new U.S. National Security Act for the 21st century. Essays should consider the rise of China, technological advances, globalization, changes in U.S. relative power, redefinition of national security to include economic and cyber issues, espionage at scale, compression of decision time, and climate change—among other trends you deem important—and how these factors might drive a paradigm shift for U.S. intelligence and national security in general. As you examine this question and possible approaches to a reformed national intelligence enterprise, we invite you to provide a framework for new legislation along with ideas for what the United States should prioritize. The best papers should address the national interests at stake and the most pressing challenges your construct is designed to address. What institutions, mechanisms, legal requirements, or other factors would you choose to create, merge, alter, or abolish and why? What efficiencies, benefits, and synergies are part of the big picture objective? Finally, what are the foreseeable impediments to your proposed changes and what is driving them?

This call for papers is open to members of the public. Papers will be evaluated by a panel of current and former US intelligence practitioners and knowledgeable academics. The top three papers will receive cash prizes of $5,000, $2,500, and $1,000. The top three authors will also be invited to participate in a panel discussion convened at Harvard (virtually or in person) in the Spring of 2022, in which they brief senior US intelligence officials on their papers, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the National Security Act of 1947. With permission, the winning paper will be published in whole or in part in a Belfer Center product. Papers should be no more than 2500 words Times New Roman 12pt font in Word or PDF format, and must be received no later than March 18. Please email papers to: pbriscoe@hks.harvard.edu and maria_robson@hks.harvard.edu and include your name, contact email, and phone number.

John Billings, USAF Vet, Served in OSS
John Malcolm Billings (Captain John), 98, a USAF Veteran who who flew Allied spies behind enemy lines for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), died of congestive heart and renal failure on 4 March 2022 in Woodstock, VA.
Billings was born in Winchester, MA and grew up in Scituate, a coastal town south of Boston. His father took Billings for his first flight as a third birthday present which triggered a lifelong passion. He learned to fly as a teen, before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1942 and undergoing aviation training. Once in the Army, Billings was recruited for Operation Greenup by the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. Billings' part in the mission involved flying three Allied spies into the Austrian Alps, where they would gain information about Nazi activities. A dangerous mission and one that other pilots refused to undertake. But Billings was up for it and successfully completed the flight. It was the first of 39 missions he would fly for the OSS during the war. Billings retired from the military as a captain in 1946. He was honored with a Distinguished Flying Cross.
After returning home from WW II, he became a commercial pilot, working for Eastern Airlines for decades before his retirement in 1983. He continued to fly as a volunteer for Mercy Medical Angels, which flies "Angel Flights" for patients who are unable to afford long-distance transportation for critical medical care. He piloted more than 400 flights for the organization, and in 2015, he flew around the perimeter of the U.S. to raise awareness of Mercy Medical Angels. Billings continued volunteering for Angel Flights well into his 90s.
His first wife, Nancy Gardiner Billings, died in 1995. In addition to his second wife of 24 years, Barbara Staley Billings, survivors include three children from his first marriage, two stepdaughters, and other family.

Saturday, 19 March 2022, 2 pm EDT - Kennebunk, ME - AFIO Maine hosts VADM William Merz on "Strengths and Vulnerabilities of Islands off China's Eastern Coast" - mainly Taiwan. Ukraine also on Agenda.

The speaker is Vice Admiral William Merz. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, and holds a Master's Degree from Catholic University. He is currently assigned to the Pentagon as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans and Strategy. His previous major assignments include Command of the 7th Fleet, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfare Systems, Director Undersea Warfare Division, Commander Naval Mine & Anti-Submarine Warfare, Task Force 54 in Bahrain, Submarine Development Squadron 12, the attack submarine USS Memphis and the nuclear deep-sea vessel Submarine NR-1. The 7th Fleet is part of the Pacific Fleet and is based in Japan with a major focus on the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

VADM Merz understands that the Maine Chapter's forum is an unclassified environment and is part of continuing discussions relating to the importance of having an effective Intelligence Community as USA's first line of defense; therefore, his presentation will be based upon statements that have been, or about to be released to the general public. We anticipate VADM Merz will also offer his observations, analysis and opinions of the current problem in Ukraine.
The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the Program Center of the Brick Store Museum, 4 Dane Street, Kennebunk, Maine 04043. A Question and Answer period will follow the presentation.

Tuesday, 29 March 2022, 6pm EDT - Atlanta, GA - AFIO Atlanta hears from Reg Regenstein on "Havana Syndrome: Are the Russians Secretly Attacking Americans Abroad?"

Since 2016, hundreds of American diplomats, intelligence officers, and military attaches—and their family members—have suddenly suffered from severe neurological damage and often had their health permanently impaired under suspicious and inexplicable circumstances. Substantial evidence, including from the National Academy of Sciences, points to the cause being pulsed microwave energy radiation. DCI Burns and other national security officials have met, investigated, and discussed these attacks. Some have attributed the injuries to hysteria, tension, pesticides, or even the chirping of crickets. But much credible evidence has emerged implicating Russian involvement.
CIA veteran Lewis "Reg" Regenstein—a charter member of AFIO since 1975—has studied and written extensively on Havana Syndrome and related Russian operations. He and his published articles on the subject have not been challenged, except by the Russian media outlet RT (Russia Today). (RT is an agent of Kremlin policy and a tool directly used by President Vladimir Putin to engage in covert disinformation campaigns designed to sow doubt about democratic institutions and destabilize the West.)
Join us for an exciting lecture as Reg argues that America's weakness, timidity, confusion, and feigned ignorance in the face of these microwave attacks on Americans have helped erode our deterrence, encouraged Russian aggression, and destabilized today's world. The talk will be followed by Q&A when you may feel free to support or dispute his conclusions.
Complimentary appetizers and hors d'oeuvres will be provided
OPEN TO NON-MEMBERS AND FRIENDS!
VENUE: Big B's Fish Joint, 4600 Roswell Road, Atlanta, GA 30342 (free parking available)

Exclusive to the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security, five former senior intelligence leaders offer their perspectives on the world-changing full invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the role intelligence has played as it has unfolded.
Few have experienced world crises like former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Hayden, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and Michael Morell. All faced challenges from Russia in these roles and throughout their storied careers at ODNI, CIA, NSA, NGA, DIA, NCTC, and the Pentagon. Our director Larry Pfeiffer, former CIA chief of staff, will moderate this conversation.

Sunday, 20 March 2022, 2 - 3:30 EDT - virtual - Near the End of All Things: Able Archer 1983 & History to Novel - sponsored by The Cold War Museum

You know how close the world came to ending during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. But did you know that 21 years later Mutually-Assured Destruction almost occurred again? And this time one side (ours) didn't even know until the last second that we were right on the edge. A breath away from the end of all things: Able Archer 1983 and turning the history into fiction.
In 1983, the U.S. and the Soviet Union came very close to nuclear war—without the U.S. being aware at the time of the extreme danger of the situation until things had advanced very far toward nuclear war.
The Soviets had become convinced that the 1983 version of an annual NATO exercise known as Able Archer was not the routine military exercise that it in fact was, but instead was the pretext for a first strike against the Soviet Union.
What had happened was a combination of some added realism in the NATO war simulation, including, as Wikipedia notes, "a new, unique format of coded communications, radio silences, and the participation of heads of states," AND unusually tense relations between the Soviets and the West at that time, especially about pending new installation of Pershing nuclear missiles in Europe. When the Soviets heightened their actual defense status in ways that clearly indicated nuclear war was close at hand, only following a U.S. General's advice against responding in kind managed to de-escalate the situation in time.
Brian Morra was an Air Force Intelligence officer during this crisis, serving in some of the locales that were important to Able Archer 1983. He'll be talking with us about The Able Archers, the first in his series of forthcoming novels relating to these events and subsequent ones. After describing why he decided to write this book, he'll explain how he chose his two main characters (one AF intelligence, the other GRU), what the key Able Archer historical events were, and how he's thinking about Able Archers series of novels going forward. This is a chance to not only learn about this key historical event but also to discover how writers of historical fiction who are serious about getting the history right try to do that while creating an engaging story line that will provide a way for people who otherwise might not be interested in history to engage with it through the eyes of the fictional characters on various sides of the events.
Cost: $20, 100% of which is a contribution to the Cold War Museum.
Location: ONLINE via ZOOM Webinar platform. Eventbrite ticket buyers will receive a link to the virtual room on the Zoom platform where this event will take place. We are recording the whole event, including the Q&A, for the Museum's archives.
