Interesting read from Stephens

This is really worrying. It is also NOT my place to be here; I am NOT a US citizen but a caring individual. I try to stick to commercial economics property economic issues. Putting Capital Assets in the hands of someone who perhaps should be certified seems a recipe for disaster, following what he got up to in the 2020 election. Also how is it possible that this got passed #CNN s editorial to be published. It is putting the wrong ideas into people's heads. https://lnkd.in/gf6XAX56

Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as U.S. intelligence chief raises serious concerns. With limited experience, how can America ensure trusted intelligence sharing and ally cooperation? In 2010, global intel partnerships stopped a deadly bomb plot targeting the U.S. This is what seasoned leadership achieves. The stakes are too high for inexperience. #LeadershipMatters #IntelligenceSharing #NationalSecurity #GlobalThreats #ExpertiseOverLoyalty #USAllies #Geopolitics #CounterTerrorism #GlobalSecurity

“I spoke to 10 veterans of the bureau, including six former assistant secretaries who led it. While no single ingredient seems to explain its relative success, a few ingredients together might: INR analysts are true experts. They are heavily recruited from PhD programs and even professorships, and have been on their subject matter (a set of countries, or a thematic specialty like trade flows or terrorism) for an average of 14 years. CIA analysts typically switch assignments every two to three years. INR’s small size means that analyses are written by individuals, not by committee, and analysts have fewer editors and managers separating them from the policymakers they’re advising. That means less groupthink, and clearer individual perspectives. INR staff work alongside State Department policymakers, meaning they get regular feedback on what kind of information is most useful to them. Intelligence analysis is a notoriously difficult craft.” Reading:

Even the most critical CIA missions can stall when buried under endless legal paperwork and bound by red tape. Is bureaucracy holding back our intelligence professionals from staying ahead of global competitors like Russia? 🌍 We must empower those who keep us safe to work smarter and faster. #IntelligenceCommunity #RedTape #Bureaucracy #GlobalSecurity #Espionage #USvsRussia #GovernmentChallenges #NationalSecurity

The plan to attack Iraq , Syria, Iran was planned June 3rd 1997 by a neo conservative Republican group called "The Project for A new American Century" Me may 24th 2005- meeting with Robert McNamera and Ted sorrenson at the United Nations in New York NY. We tried to end war. Paul Wolfowitz and the others that planned the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, the holy land and The war in Iran are here- June 3rd 1997- "The Project For a New American Century" https://lnkd.in/gBUgjf97 June 3, 1997 American foreign and defense policy is adrift. Conservatives have criticized the incoherent policies of the Clinton Administration. They have also resisted isolationist impulses from within their own ranks. But conservatives have not confidently advanced a strategic vision of America's role in the world. They have not set forth guiding principles for American foreign policy. They have allowed differences over tactics to obscure potential agreement on strategic objectives. And they have not fought for a defense budget that would maintain American security and advance American interests in the new century.

Be sure to check out the this week's episode on The Washington Outsider #Report on Coalition Radio with the Editor-in-Chief of The Jerusalem Strategic Tribune and former career Foreign Service Officer Robert Silverman. The explosive discussion was inspired by Robert's recent article for #JST, advocating the designation of the #MuslimBrotherhood as a terrorist organization... an idea that has been tried before and never quite made it to the finish line. In this episode we discuss: - Who or what is the #MuslimBrotherhood... - Its historic and ideological influences... - The conveniently forgotten or virtually unknown involvement of the Brotherhood forces alongside Nasser's army in #Egypt during #Israel's War of Independence in 1948... - The Muslim Brotherhood's social and political role in the United States... - What would it take to get a designation, legally and politically - Why all past such efforts have failed... - What happens to those who tried... - What's different this time? Why is it a good time to reconsider and to revisit this option? - What are some of the old and new obstacles, and how to overcome? - Has the October 7 Al Aqsa Flood Operation changed some hearts & minds on the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood? - Can the Brotherhood be reconsidered as an organized crime enterprise? And last but certainly not least... - What has changed our guest's mind on the issue? Why has Robert Joel Silverman from being an opponent of this track become an advocate? ... Tune in and you won't regret it!!! And now, given that the new #Trump #foreignpolicy and #NationalSecurity team is being nominated as we speak, the concerns of this political and ideological threat and how the new officials would deal with it are even more relevant! #Islamism #Islamists #lobby #Lobbying #Lobbyists #military #security #defense #antisemitism #MiddleEast #arabworld #thegulf #GCC #KSA #SaudiArabia #Egypt #NorthAfrica #Africa #Gaza #Hamas #terrorism #counterterrorism #extremism #counterextremism #military #security #defense #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #diplomacy #geopolitics #Intelligence #counterintelligence #lawandorder #societyandculture

How are Series EE savings bonds taxed?: Savings bonds are purchased by many Americans, often as a way to help fund college or show their patriotism. Series EE bonds, which replaced Series E bonds, were first issued in 1980.
