All black marks imo.
Ah . . . thats a pretty big link. Actually Barlow was more engaged that what is written. There was some fight between Barlow and Snowden, Snowden went a different direction. Pretty sure Snowden is still listed as President of Freedom of the Press Foundation board. But yeah, Barlow was very influential to alot of people. Behind the scenes guy.
Two weeks later Barlow is dead of a heart attack. No one believes it was a heart attack. Another clown op?? who knows. Part of what make fiction legends, I suppose
Appears to be an excerpt from a Barlow book . . .
I was introduced to this world by a former spy named Robert Steele, who called me in the fall of 1992 and asked me to speak at a Washington conference that would be "attended primarily by intelligence professionals." Steele seemed interesting, if unsettling. A former Marine intelligence officer, Steele moved to the CIA and served three overseas tours in clandestine intelligence, at least one of them "in a combat environment" in Central America.
After nearly two decades of service in the shadows, Steele emerged with a lust for light and a belief in what he calls, in characteristic spook-speak, OSINT, or open source intelligence. Open source intelligence is assembled from what is publicly available, in media, public documents, the Net, wherever. It's a given that such materials--and the technological tools for analyzing them--are growing exponentially these days. But while OSINT may be a timely notion, it's not popular in a culture where the phrase "information is power" means something brutally concrete and where sources are "owned."
If the spooks can't analyze their own data, why call it intelligence?
