To most people 9/11 is a terrible event that took place in the past which they have little or no interest in discussing today. But to an ever-growing multitude of earth’s vigilant citizens it’s much more than that. It was, and remains, a revelatory exposure of ongoing malign forces that continue to threaten the whole world, with mass shootings, chemtrails and the gamut of deep state atrocities and mayhem that the mainstream media has conspired to cover up. Thanks to the Internet and an increasing number of enterprising and courageous individuals, the information now available on a 9/11 cover-up is voluminous and convincing. But my perception is that the world’s understanding of this wealth of evidence, or willingness even to consider it, is a small fraction of what it could and needs to be for the good of the planet and the people who inhabit it. The choir is being preached to with brilliance and passion, but it’s time to enlarge the congregation. Exponentially. All this evidential intelligence needs to be presented in such a way that it permeates the cultural equivalent of the blood-brain barrier. How can we bypass that impregnable human defense system that is denial? Story-telling, fiction, is certainly one way. As I state near the end of this 32,000-word novella – fiction based on fact – “Although its central characters are fictional, the story you have just read is based on the tragedy we all know so well – or, more correctly for too many of us, not so well.” FRANK lost his 26-year-old daughter LISA. ANNA lost her husband ARTURO, a cook anticipating promotion to sous-chef at Windows on the World. ANITA’s husband ALEX was one of the 658 employees of Cantor Fitzgerald who lost their lives in the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers. Through the eyes and the stories of these and other fictional characters, we gain new compassion for the victims, and new perspective on the events, of 9/11. When Frank learns that Anna, a young new employee in his office, is a 9/11 survivor, he takes her under his wing. As she is able, and asks, to learn more, he and Anita painstakingly fill her in on the details of the 9/11 cover-up. Following her gradual, excruciating awakening from denial of how her husband Arturo was murdered is a way for readers to overcome and cope with their own denial. I think people need someone like Anna to take them by the hand and lead them on the same painful journey that she takes in my story, from her assumption that the 9/11 Commission settled the question of who was involved in the atrocity, to finally learning, and accepting, who the real perpetrators were.

A young, female CIA officer under non-official cover has been snatched off of the streets of Beirut by Hezbollah. This is the kind of situation that CIA's legendary Deputy Director of Operations Edwin Rothmann needs solved fast—but he can't involve the agency. Instead, he enlists the renegade Ft. Lauderdale outfit he refers to as "CIA, Inc." headed by former CIA case officer Mac MacMurphy. As the kidnapped officer faces a battle of wits with her mysterious interrogator, MacMurphy and his team track down a former CIA asset who may hold the key to infiltrating the hostage situation before it gets out of hand.

He baffled and eluded law enforcement officers for nearly two decades. In the end, however, it wasn't the painstaking forensic analysis of hundreds of pieces of crime scene evidence that led to the capture of the Unabomber-but the lucky tip of an informant. Truth of the matter is, for all their sophistication and hi-tech science, crime-fighting techniques such as fingerprint and DNA analysis are a factor in less than one percent of all criminal cases. In the overwhelming number of crimes, informants have provided the necessary ammunition needed to bring criminals to justice, from Genovese to Gotti and Capone to Dillinger. Confidential Informant: Understanding Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool explores the covert and clandestine world of informants-revealing the secrets of how to find them and make the most out of them, while at the same time, avoiding the pitfalls of dealing with them. Using case studies in which informants played key roles in solving crimes, the book examines all aspects of informant development and management, from the motivation of the informant to the legal problems that accompany the use of informants in criminal cases. Written by John Madinger, a former narcotics agent, supervisor and administrator, and currently a Senior Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, Confidential Informant: Understanding Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool examines the emotional and behavioral characteristics of the informant, as well as the psychology of trust and betrayal. The book also illustrates techniques for improving interviewing and communication skills when dealing with informants, and provides invaluable forms that can be used in connection with these vital sources of information.

Ben Ingram, a CIA officer on R and R leave in Paris, who joined the CIA out of pure patriotism at about the start of the Cold War, is now beginning to think of his painting hobby as a career, but so far is too loyal to his cause to switch. He falls hopelessly in love with an American newspaper reporter named Marian Crowley who, unfortunately for Ben, happens to distrust the CIA and even blames the whole Cold War on her own country - attitudes Ben cannot accept. Andrei Chernov, KGB "illegal," sent to Paris on a political-action mission, is well qualified to pose as an American citizen. Later, he is to "reveal" his membership in the CIA to a "target" person. At stake is a small African country's adherence to one or the other side in the Cold War. The three characters find themselves in what seems to be a completely ill-fated tangle of romance and political intrigue.

Lively and informative . . . It is also a good story of how an operative actually works in the field. -- Military Ted Shackley's comments on CIA operations in Europe, Cuba, Chile, and Southeast Asia and on the life of a high-stakes spymaster will be the subject of intense scrutiny by all concerned with the fields of intelligence, foreign policy, and postwar U.S. history. The death of CIA operative Theodore G. "Ted" Shackley in December 2002 triggered an avalanche of obituaries from all over the world, some of them condemnatory. Pundits used such expressions as "heroin trafficking," "training terrorists," "attempts to assassinate Castro," and "Mob connections." More specifically, they charged him with having played a major role in the Chilean military coup of 1973. But who was the real Ted Shackley? In Spymaster, he has told the story of his entire remarkable career for the first time. With the assistance of fellow former CIA officer Richard A. Finney, he discusses the consequential posts he held in Berlin, Miami, Laos, Vietnam, and Washington, where he was intimately involved in some of the key intelligence operations of the Cold War. During his long career, Shackley ran part of the inter-agency program to overthrow Castro, was chief of station in Vientiane during the CIA's "secret war" against North Vietnam and the Pathet Lao, and was chief of station in Saigon. After his retirement, he remained a controversial figure. In the early eighties, he was falsely charged with complicity in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Contains everything from police jargon and forensics terms to deadly poisons and even deadlier killers

In this riveting insider’s account, a former inspector general of the CIA compares actual espionage cases and practices with classic and popular spy fiction, showing that the real world of espionage is nearly always stranger and more complicated than even the best spy fiction.Exploring everything from tradecraft and recruitment to bureaucracy and betrayal, The Great Game contrasts fictional spies created by such authors as John Le Carr?, Tom Clancy and Joseph Conrad with their real-life counterparts from Kim Philby to Aldrich Ames. Drawing on his thirty year career with the CIA, Frederick P. Hitz shows that even the most imaginative authors fail to capture the profound human dilemmas raised by real-life cases. Engaging and insightful, The Great Game shines a fascinating light on the veiled history of intelligence.

This Book is overview of Outer executive Departments and 64 Independent Federal Agencies; the Outer Executive Departments are--United States Department of Interior, Labor, Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Education, and Veterans Affairs. In the 64 Federal Independent Agencies, some are larger than many Departments; for instance, United States Postal Services employs 656, 000; ranks third next to Wal-Mart and Department of Defense that employs 700,000 civilians. Accordingly, it had been my journey to know the governmental agencies; for me, the local and states basic social service administration never been satisfactory if I dont know inside the United States Department of Health and Human Services category of its agencies. Because of that, it influences my learning and leads me made further research on governmental agencies. In these ten Outer Executive Department and 64 Independent Agencies--which I put together as a Policy of Federal Independent Agencies and Federal Outer Executive Departments, paved my way to supplementary learning on Public Services and would leads me makes further researches on States, local and Cities governments agencies. This Book can be used by Graduates and Post Graduates students as special topic on Federal Agencies/be second Book in different classes, or be main text in certain levels, and it also can be Handbook for Public Administrators, United States Congress who creates and defines the Agencies Policy and Mission, from 2nd to 111th Congresses, and to the Heads of these Agencies, and states Administrators, Directors, Public Managers and any interested individual who want to learn more on Governmental Agencies. The Heads and Staff of these Departments and Agencies may know more mainly on ones or more Agencies than the Policy on this Book, but they can easily Master other Departments and Agencies like their owns if they have this Book on hand. Bases on my believe, Graduate students from Public Administration, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Social Work, Law, and International Relation etc never apprehend all agencies specifically as how I put and illustrate them; except their Agencies. I always cross these agencies in different books, but nothing enough enlighten me how the Agencies and Policies are; now I am clearly sure on agencies policy, roles and organizations, etc. This Pans 2nd Book as well as first Book is away beyond Administrative Laws and Administrative Ethic and Leadership.

In the years since the first edition, industrial and corporate espionage have not diminished. There has been, however, an increase in awareness about the issues. There are more graduate-level programs in business and in security that are offering courses and training on intelligence gathering in the commercial sector. Training in the protection of confidential documents and materials that forms a part of security certification programs has been updated. With the large amount of outsourcing in the technological sector overseas, information transfer and leakage continues to be a serious problem, and as long as corporations see outsourcing as a way to save money in the short term, dangers will persist. The security community will need to continue to pursue this issue politically and socially. Accordingly, the text focuses on these issues and gives the reader a real sense of how industrial spies are persistent and clever in circumventing defenses. It examines both the defensive and offensive tactics necessary to fight industrial espionage. Living with paradox should be the theme for the security professional, and the book draws wisdom from political philosophers like Machiavelli to aid in that perspective. A clear plan of action in dealing with industrial espionage in a fluid, mobile, information-rich business environment is offered. Two additional chapters cover the tradecraft of the industrial spy and the uses of data mining in gathering business intelligence. An outline is offered for planning an intelligence campaign against a target, and a sample strategic intelligence report about a business is included. In addition, there is also a glossary of terms related to industrial espionage. These additional tools should increase a security professional's awareness of the corporate spy's mindset, which is a major portion of the battle. This book will serve as a valuable resource to security professionals in law enforcement and the business sector.
