There is no universal set of characteristics that guarantee a successful rite of passage to being here. <\/span><\/p>\n

The most important qualities are here listed : <\/span><\/p>\n

Devotion to the Crown <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, a highly developed sense of duty and of self-discipline, perseverance and creativity in achieving goals, a well-developed memory, the ability to analyse, quickly master a new situation and take independent decisions, show reasonable initiative and justified risk, the ability to prolong the concentration of attention and to learn foreign languages, sociability, internal organisational anonymity, decency in dealing with colleagues, honesty and integrity in the performance of official duties. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, those being here should be willing to work in an unusual, sometimes difficult climate, in countries with restless if not dire, extremely dangerous circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

One can add that an important requirement is a readiness for a long time (from several months to several years) for life abroad, not necessarily in a comfortable and calm state.<\/span><\/p>\n

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE <\/span><\/p>\n

Here, we dwell with what has power to overwhelm and dominate by exploiting fractures in the human psyche, literally to paralyse the emotional capacity to resist. Then the expected question is; the will to resist what? <\/span><\/p>\n

This is our preoccupation. <\/span><\/p>\n

A focus upon emotion, though not confined therein. Can we use any weapon? Yes, but we are focusing on one weapon in particular. We are working from the premise that human emotion, the innate capacity to feel, is multifaceted and in this, is an array of targets that suit our purpose well. Consider that emotions are bound together, in varying intensities with regard to circumstance. And I have to say that what is outwardly stated by the target is not the inner condition. There is, invariably, a hypocrite lurking therein, one that fears, one that desires. Yes, the will to resist is not as strong as one might be led to assume, if strong at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, it has to be acknowledged that we now exist within a very threatening geo-political reality. Firstly, the passing of time has brought with it a malignant spread of global jihadism and second, the asymmetric threats arriving from practically everywhere are still as great, if not greater. <\/span><\/p>\n

And this era certainly is characterised by ‘data analysis’, ‘facial recognition software’, not to forget a myriad identities online and smartphones that deliver trails of data. Dealing with this requires characteriologically different skills than were the case during the past. ‘Forensic capabilities’, ‘bio-metrics’ and DNA, make old-time moving around practically everywhere much more of a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incidentally, we should not appear as though we are stationary in what is moving extremely quickly, one might well ponder on the future reality of our profession. Specifically, with regard to strategically important applications of emerging technologies – the new frontiers.\u00a0 We can now command, control and communicate via altogether novel ways. We are not divorced from it, we are deeply immersed in its dictate. Here, our preoccupation is very specifically HUMINT focussed – and for this rather specific.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a tendency to misidentify data for wisdom. Unobstructed access to data can produce unlimited use only if it is matched by both the desire and the ability to discover what it means and where it will lead. Data can be a frightful thing if left extensive and reified. It is too easily regarded as an evaluated certainty rather than as the rawest of raw materials demanding to be processed into the texture of the interpersonal, the essentially human\u201d.

ANATOMY OF A CONTRARY MIND – IN BRIEF<\/span><\/p>\n

How we can both create a contrary mind and \/ or infiltrate it, hence use it to our advantage <\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, the question : What are the constituent precursors to attitude, is what we have to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n

Who and what are we dealing with? <\/span><\/p>\n

It appears to us that it is not what is the case that we often must contend, but what really is NOT the case : A DELUSION is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary. Unlike hallucinations, delusions are always pathological. As pathology, it is distinct from a belief based upon false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, or other effects of perception.<\/span><\/p>\n

DELUSIONS typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness, although they are not tied to any particular disease and have been found to occur in the context of many pathological states (both physical and mental). However, they are of particular diagnostic importance in psychotic disorders including schizophrenia, manic episodes of bipolar disorder, and psychotic depression. <\/span><\/p>\n

One\u2019s \u2018life world\u2019 consists of varying intensities of personal associations and which could be described as \u2019journeys that beckon\u2019 some of which, if taken to the extreme, might to some cause major disruption, but even this is not abnormal, rather a condition the apparatus we have allows. A consideration here though; who is to say when and if pathology is the case? What would be \u2018injurious\u2019 and at what point? I think this is important because \u2018escapism\u2019 and \u2018infatuation\u2019 are not the same conditions, though they do overlap.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

I would say infatuation is often carefully manipulated and a reinforced state that certain (many) people and organizations engage in because they recognize its benefits. . .to them. I think much of the film industry\u2019s affair with violence and its perpetrators (certain individuals who, in my opinion, are mentors in the extreme negative degree) is a good example. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some would say that fantasy is a willingness to indulge and freely express novel thoughts, thereby it is a creative process because something is created, even if it stays in the mind. Perhaps \u2018escaping\u2019 into this condition might at times apply. <\/span><\/p>\n

THE FANTASY CYCLE : This is a pattern that recurs in the personal lives of some, if not many; in politics, in history and in storytelling. When embarking upon a course of action which is unconsciously driven by wishful thinking, all may seem to go well for a time, in what may be called the ‘dream stage’. However, because this make-believe can never be reconciled with reality, it leads to a ‘frustration stage’ as things start to go wrong, prompting a more determined effort to keep the fantasy in being. As reality presses in, it leads to a ‘nightmare stage’ as everything goes wrong, culminating in an ‘explosion into reality’, when the fantasy finally falls apart.\u00a0 One needs to consider how this is managed, by who in particular and for what reason? <\/span><\/p>\n

A further consideration might be whether some are actually aware of the status of their thoughts. What began as deliberate attempts to deceive become normal associations. Even at the outset this could be the case, an unconscious drive that fuels a living lie. I tend to think in this situation, most are aware that the persona they present is not theirs at all and they revel in the response they encourage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Infatuation can involve the process of \u2018idealizing the other\u2019 which is a taking into oneself facets of someone else living or dead and making these facets what one wants them to be. This might appear unhealthy, but when you consider how many actually do this, one starts asking what unhealthy actually is. There are myriad who imagine lovers conferring all of the things denied them, even to the extent of enjoying a dialogue in the mind and\/or assuming a role this imaginary other has in one\u2019s (or collective) affairs. Is this an injury of sorts, a\u2019 disease\u2019 or what is attributable to the infinitely complex, neuronal circuitry, thus a byproduct of it and one we, who recognise it, have to deal with.We can incorporate this into our arsenal of tools. Yes, we can.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you consider that all biological life presents infinite complexity. We infer much regarding the human capacity to cognize, it is the genus that subsumes us all, yet many dwell with descriptions of attributes which do little if anything to encompass what is the infinity of its construction. So one might ask; what are you doing when internalizing? Well it\u2019s much easier to examine the affect, that is, the manifestation of the process though there are lots of theories on what happens within and certain of these utilize sophisticated imaging technology, yet the capacity to dwell in four-dimensional thought with its requisite emotionality remains a very literal \u2019miracle\u2019 if you want to use that word. Nothing new in that, but to say there is much that becomes possible in this realm of thought, this personal mental status of the person dwelling among others similar. As said, what is termed \u2018fantasy\u2019, well, anything becomes possible because it\u2019s not just a silent moving portrait, but one containing facets which can be very deeply felt, in fact in ways that can become \u2019overbearing\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fulfilling of desire is interesting because it displays the capacity to bring many complexities into play, but also to bring others too, such as the felt desire to hurt and to kill. <\/span><\/p>\n

However one chooses to define states of being therefore has to appeal to what is happening with the person and who else and what in the outside world is defining it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The human biological system which has evolved into its current form in adaptation over eons upon eons is capable of destroying and loving and degrees of both at the same time. Even to love who has been killed and vice versa. Human beings are instinctively driven to procreate (sex is overwhelmingly insatiable), and to drive the species into non-existence (to contrive, to imagine killing and committing the act itself). We use our ingenuity most often to design in accordance with instinct.<\/span><\/p>\n

A relevant question in this context; given the awesome design we carry, its equally awesome potential to imagine, to utilize language\u2019s descriptive picturing, to reflect beauty . . . how many will never? How many are there who, because of their afflicted status, cannot deal with what you display to them and their moral logic falls between despising and justifying killing? This forms the backdrop of this work.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few more definitions before we begin <\/span><\/p>\n

Intention, intent, purpose, design, aim, end, object, objective, goal – mean what we intend to accomplish or attain. <\/span><\/p>\n

Intention implies little more than what we have in mind to do or bring about. <\/span><\/p>\n

Intent suggests clearer formulation or greater deliberateness. <\/span><\/p>\n

Purpose suggests a more settled determination. <\/span><\/p>\n

Design implies a more carefully calculated plan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Aim adds to these implications of effort directed toward attaining or accomplishing. <\/span><\/p>\n

End stresses the intended effect of action often in distinction or contrast to the action or means as such.<\/span><\/p>\n

Object may equal end but more often applies to a more individually determined wish or need. <\/span><\/p>\n

Objective implies something tangible and immediately attainable. <\/span><\/p>\n

Goal suggests something attained only by prolonged effort and hardship.<\/span><\/p>\n

SUBVERSION : <\/span><\/p>\n

Defining and understanding subversion involves the identifying of entities, structures, and certain things that can be subverted. <\/span><\/p>\n

This does not mean that each type of subversion has appeal to any specific approach, the using of predetermined tools and practices. Each subversive campaign is different and this is because of the social, political, economic, cultural, and historical differences that each actor \/ nation owns and practices. Subversive activities are employed based upon an evaluation of these factors. <\/span><\/p>\n

External Subversion – refers to actions taken by another nation in cooperation with those inside the subverted nation. Foreign volunteers from another nation are not sufficient to qualify for external subversion. The reason for this is that the actors may legitimately share the cause of the internal subversive dissidents and have legitimately volunteered. <\/span><\/p>\n

>> Only when the government itself furnishes a nation with money, arms, supplies, or other help to dissidents can it be called subversion. << <\/span><\/p>\n

So then, what is the overriding reason for subversion? <\/span><\/p>\n

The reason is to protect national security, to maintain the existing social and political order via clandestinely entering, monitoring, disrupting or subverting. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is subversive activity? <\/span><\/p>\n

Broadly speaking, subversive activity, is the lending of benefits (sponsorship), reassurance and moral support to individual actors, groups, or organizations that back the overthrow of serving governments. All willful acts that are intended to be detrimental to the best interests of the government and that do not fall into the categories of treason, sedition, sabotage or espionage are placed in the category of subversive activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
The latter (novel interpersonal situations) present the requirement for altogether unique skills and I know that some might find the importance and capacity to affect others in the ways deemed useful are mostly cyber led \u2013 I am not arguing that, moreover to focus on the importance, difficulty and danger inherent in conducting (manipulating) human beings and consequent states of affairs this way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why them? Well, I’ll come to that, but will just say they attract useful sorts with lots of influence to begin with. Whether that is a mental state or otherwise quickly becomes revealed and the ‘otherwise’ (not much use category) becomes discarded from the exercise. I mean so and so who really is a CEO of a company or thereabouts, as opposed to someone who merely thinks it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The objective being to assess my own skill in manipulating the perception of how others see and deal with me. Why? Well, there are experts in this field, selling courses and books, you know the kind of stuff; developing practical skills in achieving communication and achieving great results in all areas of life. How to create rapport with others, how to acquire influencing skills, how to understand and use body language, how to think about and achieve the results you want, acquire the art of asking key questions, to be effective meetings, negotiations, and so on and so forth\u2026.ad infinitum.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I wanted to see if I could win the attention of the interlocutors \u2013 because in class I was speaking in somewhat na\u00efve and retarded fashion directly to them, though importantly not confined to them, i.e. such that I could break through their posturing and collect and access any and all that I discreetly \u2013 disinterestedly was able. I mean once that was achieved and managed, there was all kinds of stuff to learn. Remember we are referring to professionals \u2013 internationally connected sorts with connections and requisite useful knowledge.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I did fail the programme assessment, I wasn\u2019t ready because of being insufficiently intelligent (useless) apparently, wrong appearance, but that was not important. I mean who cares about that? What was a success was the extent of accepted trust that I, a lonely childlike adult, lost to the world of patriarchy (in this case, har har), would willingly gift (such priceless attributes in the field of the clandestine).

From a discussion we had 05 10 2016. (C-I) <\/span><\/p>\n

Summatim <\/span><\/p>\n

Infiltration\/Subversion<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

I like word subversion (covert assault) so will use it. On reading through Wyndham-Lewis\u2019s short article \u2018On Concealment,\u2019 I was left to ponder on a few issues around the activity of subversion, or I can closely refer; the tactics of the agent provocateur. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the theoretical is essential to know and to see it action is better. In addition because no two circumstances (human activity systems) present the same characteristics (or even similarity at all), there is no consistent appeal to theory or application. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apologies but in a presentation much has to be stated in superficial fashion, certain made appeal to for application and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n

I want to introduce the foundation for the experiential which is part two. <\/span><\/p>\n

So what is the overriding reason for subversion? It is to protect national security, to maintain the existing social and political order via clandestinely entering, monitoring, disrupting or subverting.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is subversive activity? On a broad scale, often it is the lending of benefits,, reassurance and moral support to individuals, groups, or organisations that back the overthrow of serving governments. All willful acts that are intended to be detrimental to the best interests of the government and that do not fall into the categories of treason, sedition, sabotage or espionage are placed in the category of subversive activity. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Describing subversion requires the identifying of \u2018things\u2019, structures that can be subverted. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This does not mean that each type of subversion follows neither a predetermined practice nor the employment of predetermined tools. Each subversive operation is different because of the socio-economic, geo-political and historical-traditional contrasts that each country displays or part thereof. Subversive activities are utilised based upon an assessment of such factors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Theoretically, the infiltration of state related organisations can offer the opportunity to achieve many things. The infiltration of security forces can provide insights regarding the government\u2019s capabilities. A covert entry enables the planting of untruths with the intention of leading the government to mismanage its resources and ultimately weakening and de-legitimizing the government. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Any group, organisation, or institution that may help sway opinion and beliefs of the collectivity against the established government could be a target for covert entry\/subversive activity. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this broad form of subversion, for example it is not only the government directly that can be targeted by the agent\/s (ourselves) but any prevailing cultural character, that distinctiveness, mater\/pater familias\/bonding, quietude and so on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Allow that I narrow down my application to one of subversion of certain types of organisation, the subversive activity which is more that of the agent provocateur. These organizations often are already viewed in the public arena as being legitimate concerns and often provide a social stage to express ideas. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the case that political organisation or governments themselves may use agents provocateurs against any political opponents. The provocateurs try to incite the opponent to do counter-productive or ineffective acts so to foster public disdain or provide a pretext for aggression against the opponent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both Officers and assets, once established in the organisation, do not merely collect intelligence, the main purpose can be to discredit and disrupt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Note that the activities of the agent provocateur can raise ethical and legal issues. Specifically that in common law jurisdictions the legal concept of entrapment may apply if the main impetus for any crime was the provocateur. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to establish the needs (inputs) of the organisation. When identified, these needs are linked to solutions that our own interests can provide. Once established the agent can work to establish ties with other organisations.<\/span><\/p>\n

If organisations are too difficult to covertly enter, it may be necessary to create a new organisation that merely appears to be independent, but is under the our direction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Arguably the examples of how things were done during the past bear less legitimacy than might appear while using them to understand the present. We have moved into a new paradigm and in this paradigm are advances in the technology employed for this purpose. So by implication subversion during the Cold War period holds with it a different performing of the task than it would if that situation was apparent in the same way now. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I can see that you are jumping from the chair and hollering, \u201cWoman, things are the same now and worse!\u201d I think so too. There is more activity (more requirements) now and it brings into play the very technological advances referred to heretofore and these, emerging constantly add a qualitatively different procedure to the task (subversive) at hand. We must acknowledge this. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, one can consider it still as very much a human activity because human beings, their emotions, thoughts and actions are the raw material that we are working with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, we want to make \u2018XY\u2019 think in a certain way. We either know how \u2018XY\u2019 already thinks or I have to find out. We want to make \u2018XY\u2019 begin behaving in a certain way\/be compelled via thinking that we have caused. In order to do this we have to consider the most appropriate strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018XY\u2019 could be an individual or a group. I want here to concentrate on groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the primary task of \u2018XY\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Geographically, where is XY. What is the character, cultural characteristics, what is its size, structure, which are its leaders, operators, and support? <\/span><\/p>\n

What of the group context\/group within its state and or nation? <\/span><\/p>\n

How does \u2018XY\u2019 perform? Are they a hierarchical organisation or degrees toward a mutual adjustment? <\/span><\/p>\n

How is the information stored? How is the information shared? <\/span><\/p>\n

What is already known from collection, processing and analysis? <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, what is our interest? <\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the era specific facets, these dictate to a large extent the nature of the intervention (nature of the steps employed) of entry into the organization (XY). <\/span><\/p>\n

Please allow the consideration that on a personal level the closer to home the agent provocateur is, the easier it is to gain entry. I can list the criteria: <\/span><\/p>\n

How easy is it to get in? Do I have to qualify and in this qualifying require credentials and psychometric\/polygraph?<\/span><\/p>\n

Is entry based upon declaration of shared interest, demonstrated via statements, appearance, character? <\/span><\/p>\n

There is much more to consider but the point being that there are degrees of impossibility associated with certain cases of entry into \u2018XY\u2019. These are related to nationality, culture, language, sex, age and so on. qIt is advantageous to inspire commitment to a person\/s already a member of \u2018XY\u2019. Likewise there can be degrees of impossibility associated with being successful.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

There are also degrees of success because the person\/s have to be trusted. There are methods employed to work on surety in this and I can discuss these. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the kitbag of tools? <\/span><\/p>\n

Enticement\/lure : <\/span><\/p>\n

Direct bribery (executives are only useful if they influence or act in accordance with how we require them to). Actions performed over a period of time can make others (both close and distant) become suspicious. The requirement is for careful concealment of activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psychological operations (the employing of \u2018dirty tricks\u2019) so to undermine, for example the planting of false media stories and publishing bogus types of publication in the name of targeted groups. The forging of correspondence, sending of anonymous letters, making anonymous phone calls. The spreading of misinformation, setting up fake groups to cause trouble for \u2018XY\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

The employing of legal harassment, the making of the appearance that XY is a criminal. The manipulating of inputs such as adding tax levies or other regulations. So to intimidate XY and those supportive. Manipulation of credit facilities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The searching of the domestic residence\/s associated with \u2018XY\u2019, the object being to intimidate and disrupt (** illegal). <\/span><\/p>\n
