Books of the Week

The Coddling of the American MindThe Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure
by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt
(Penguin Press, Sep 2018)

The authors of the viral 2015 Atlantic piece of the same name, which inveighed against trigger warnings, safe spaces, and other trappings of campus identity politics, have expanded their argument to book length. Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen?
 
First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: what doesn't kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life.
 
Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America's rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade.

Enemies of the StateEnemies of the State: The Radical Right in America from FDR to Trump
by Darren J. Mulloy
(Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Jul 2018)

How did we get here? Have politics in America ever been as bitter and divisive as they are now? History professor Mulloy traces the path of radical right-wing movements in the U.S. since the New Deal, from fringe to mainstream. The groups discussed often center on the "paranoid style" of conspiratorial thinking and fear of subversion. Mulloy defines radical as pulling institutions "up by the roots and drastically altering" government. It is a complex story, and this invaluable book ties together the various strands of extremism, including anti-statism, anti-communism, Fundamentalist Christianity, resistance to desegregation, and the at-times nihilistic obstruction of progress that radicals on the right have perpetuated in various forms since the 1930s. This history emphasizes the similarities among radicals through time, place, and issues. Oddly, Mulloy glosses over much of the second Bush administration and offers only tepid conclusions at the end. Yet, written for a general audience, this account will be of great interest to readers with questions about American politics. — Booklist

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Fitness App Polar Exposed Locations of Spies and Military Personnel.  A popular fitness app that tracks the activity data on millions of users has inadvertently revealed the locations of personnel working at military bases and intelligence services.

The app, Polar Flow, built by its eponymous company Polar, a Finnish-based fitness tracking giant with offices in New York, allowed anyone to access a user's fitness activities over several years -- simply by modifying the browser's web address.

For most users who set their activity tracking records to public, posting their workouts on Polar's so-called Explore map is a feature and not a privacy issue. But even with profiles set to private, a user's fitness activity can reveal where a person lives.

An exposed location of anyone working at a government or military installation can quickly become a national security risk.  [Read More:  Whittaker/zdnet/8July2018]

Romania's Parliament Validates Foreign Intelligence Service Head.  The Parliament voted on Wednesday, July 4, the president's proposal to appoint Social Democrat MP Gabriel Vlase as head of the Foreign Intelligence Service - SIE, Mediafax reported.

Vlase, who has been a member of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) for many years and an MP since 2004, is not in the circle of close collaborators of PSD leader Liviu Dragnea, which may be one of the reasons why president Klaus Iohannis chose him for this position.

The nomination came unexpectedly in a moment when the president was pressured by PSD to dismiss the chief anticorruption prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi. Even the PSD leaders were taken aback by this nomination as the president didn't consult the party on it. The SIE director position has been vacant since September 2016, when Mihai Razvan Ungureanu stepped down.

Gabriel Vlase, 47, has been a close collaborator of former PSD grey eminence Viorel Hrebenciuc. He has graduated from several national security and intelligence courses over the years and served as president of the Parliament's committee that controls SIE's activity in the past.  [Read More:  romania-insider/5Jul2018]

Germany Alleged to Have Spied on Swiss Firms in Austria.  A dozen branches of Swiss firms in Austria were targeted by German spies between 1999 and 2006, according to the SonntagsBlick newspaper which has seen documents belonging to Germany's federal intelligence service BND. Part of the data was allegedly handed to the United States.

The Sunday newspaper said the Swiss firms targeted by German spies in Austria included the pharmaceutical company Sandoz, which belongs to the Novartis Group, the logistics firm Panalpina, and the Zug firm Bossard, which specializes in producing screws, nuts and bolts.

According to SonntagsBlick, surveillance began in 1999 and lasted until 2006. It is unclear what information German spies gathered, but part of the data was sent to the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States, the paper claimed.

The Swiss firms affected refuse to comment on the affair, citing ongoing investigations. The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service confirmed it was aware of the case and said it was combatting such espionage "with its own means".  [Read More:  swissinfo/8Jul2018]

Belgian Intelligence Services Implement New Tools to Track Social Media.  Belgium's intelligence services have acquired new software to make it easier to gather information online, according to a report from De Standaard. First ordered two years ago after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, the software is expected to help the intelligence services identify potential threats via social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

The tools include software and hardware, reportedly from a Dutch supplier, according to the paper's sources. The project cost EUR 20 million, including a four-year maintenance contract.

A spokesperson for the state security service confirmed the new tools and said they will make work already done by hand more efficient, with automatic filtering of social media to extract information on a mass scale. This will include alerts about peaks in traffic on sensitive subjects, helping to detect potential threats and respond more quickly in the event of another attack. In addition to the 'normal' internet, the tools will also be used to analyse the 'dark web'.

In addition to the state security service and the military intelligence unit Adiv, the federal police will have access to the tools.  [Read More:  telecompaper/9Jul2018]

Sudan's Former Spy-Chief Appointed Ambassador to Washington.  Former director of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) Mohamed Atta would leave for the United States during the next few days to take up his duties as Sudan's ambassador to Washington.

Last February, the Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir appointed Atta as Ambassador at the Foreign Ministry days after he was removed from his position as director of the NISS.

In press statements following his meeting with al-Bashir on Sunday, Atta said the president renewed Sudan's keenness to promote its relations with the U.S.

He pointed out that the next period would witness resumption of the joint Sudanese-U.S. dialogue, calling for tight coordination among government bodies to remove obstacles hindering the development of ties with the U.S.  [Read More:  sudantribune/9Jul2018]

Security Clearance Changes Advance in Senate.  The Senate Intelligence Committee has approved a package of changes to the security clearance process designed to address longstanding issues with the process of issuing and renewing those clearances, which are required for many federal jobs,

Sponsors said the changes would "modernize our antiquated security clearance process, reduce the background investigation inventory of more than 700,000 cases, and bring greater accountability to the system," which GAO earlier this year added to its list of federal programs vulnerable to waste, abuse and mismanagement.

Provisions added on a bipartisan basis to a pending reauthorizing bill for the intelligence community would:  [Read More:  fedweek/5Jul2018]

Section II - CONTEXT & PRECEDENCE

What was on a USB Fan Given at the Trump-Kim Summit? Security Experts Say Nothing - But Don't Plug It In.  When journalists arrived in Singapore for the historic summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last month, security experts were alarmed by what awaited those who were covering the event. Inside a welcome bag that included bottled water featuring the faces of Trump and Kim and a guide to the area was something far more suspicious: a miniature fan that connects to a computer's USB port.

The discovery prompted a security researcher to disassemble the fan to inspect the USB. Security experts say that people should never use USB devices without knowing where they come from. Hackers and spies can use them as Trojan horses - devices that seem innocuous but are loaded with malware designed to take control of a target's computer and steal information. The summit had attracted journalists from all over the world. Since reporters are often in contact with business and government officials and gather nonpublic information, their personal devices and newsroom networks could be enticing targets.

Experts say USBs are a common way for hackers to gather information or infect devices. In 2008, Russian agents planted virus-carrying USB sticks in retail kiosks around NATO headquarters in Kabul to gain access to a classified Pentagon network, according to the New Yorker. In 2013, Italian newspapers alleged that Russian operatives used USB devices to try to spy on world leaders at a Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg.

Research suggests that average citizens can also become targets. In 2011, the Department of Homeland Security planted USBs and CDs in government parking lots to test the security practices (and susceptibility) of employees and contractors. Sixty percent of people who picked up the items plugged them into work computers, and if the disks or USBs had an official logo printed on them, the rate shot up to 90 percent. In another experiment conducted at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2016, researchers dropped nearly 300 USB sticks on campus and found that nearly half the time someone would pick them up and plug them into their computer.  [Read More:  Shaban/washingtonpost/3Jul2018]

Intelligence Community Spending in 2018 - Not Exactly Top Secret Information.  The Intelligence Community plays a crucial role in helping keep the nation safe, but its nearly $80 billion budget represents just a small of portion of what the United States spends on national defense and homeland security. At around $1 trillion annually, the U.S. spends more on national security programs and agencies than any other nation in the world.

The intelligence budget is spread out among the entire United States intelligence community, which is comprised of 17 federal agencies assigned to an array of missions relating to national defense, foreign relations, homeland security and law enforcement.

These agencies form just the foundation of what is a sprawling enterprise that incorporates intelligence and non-intelligence components of many other federal agencies, state and local police, as well as fire and emergency response, international government partners, and even private companies and organizations.

Total intelligence spending is also the combination of the National Intelligence Program (NIP), which supports strategic planning and policymaking, and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP), which supports military operational and tactical levels of planning and operations.  [Read More:  Suciu/clearancejobs/6Jul2018]

Spygame: When Daniel Craig 007 Came Face-To-Face with CIA Spies.  Daniel Craig, who plays the famed fictional British spy James Bond, had a face-to-face meeting with real life spymasters during his visit to the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

The visit was part of CIA's 'Reel vs. Real' event, which was recently launched by the agency to "demystify the CIA's mission by comparing what's seen on TV to what happens in reality".

According to CIA's official blog, the 50-year-old actor met with their leadership and workforce and was apprised that "real life espionage is a lot more 'cloak' and a lot less 'dagger' than presented in the entertainment world of spy vs spy".

"During conversations with CIA subject matter experts, Mr Craig learned about the many facets of intelligence collection and how our five directorates work together to advance CIA's mission," stated the blog. [Read More:  economictimes/5Jul2018]

Israel Recovers Hanged Spy Eli Cohen's Watch from Syria.  A watch belonging to one of Israel's most famed spies who was caught and hanged in Syria has been recovered by Israel's Mossad intelligence agency.

It was worn by Eli Cohen, an Egyptian-born Jew recruited by Mossad in the early 1960s, who infiltrated the highest echelons of the Syrian regime.

He provided Israel with Syrian state secrets, before he was found out and publicly hanged in Damascus in 1965.

Syria has refused to reveal the whereabouts of his remains.  [Read More:  bbc/6Jul2018]

The DOD's App Store Does This One Crucial Thing to Stay Secure.  Every day, companies like Google and Apple wage a constant battle to keep malicious apps out of their marketplaces and off people's phones. And while they do catch a lot of malware before it does any damage, there are always a few nasty infiltrators that manage to sneak by and end up getting downloaded by thousands of consumers. No one wants these mistakes to happen, but when you're a crucial app store for the Department of Defense, these mistakes can't happen.

That was the problem facing the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as it set about creating a flexible yet ultrasecure app store in 2012. NGA is a combat support organization that primarily assesses and distributes geospatial intelligence. The agency wanted to provide sensitive and mission-critical apps to groups across the DOD through a platform that had the security and resilience of a government defense product, while also offering a streamlined, up-to-date user experience similar to ubiquitous commercial app stores.

"We recognized that we did not know everything when it came to apps, and we wanted to be using the innovation that was happening in the commercial sector," says Joedy Saffel, division chief and source director of NGA who has worked on the GEOINT App Store from the beginning. "But how do we do that in a safe, secure manner? How do we do that from a contractual perspective? And how do we do that in a way that nontraditional vendors will trust doing business with the government? It was a great challenge."

The key, Saffel says, is getting developers to agree to hand over the source code of their apps for in-depth analysis and review. Whether an app is a simple time/speed/distance calculator for a pilot or a hyper-specialized classified tool, sharing source code is a big risk for developers, because it means trusting third parties with the core intellectual property they have built their businesses on. But NGA soon realized that full access was the only way its project could work.  [Read More:  Hay Newman/wired/3Jul2018]

Seductresses and Secret Soviet Sympathizers? Save It for 007.  Spy stories are full of seductive femmes fatale and secret Communist moles. An Indianapolis-born CIA veteran says the stories of real-life traitors are usually a lot less exciting.

Gene Coyle spent 30 years in the CIA, including stints in Moscow and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, and recruited a few foreign sources a year to help U.S. intelligence. He says some were driven by ideology, viewing their aid to the CIA as a step toward reform in their countries. Conversely, in the first decade after World War Two, some of the most prominent espionage cases in America, from Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to Alger Hiss, involved accusations of Communist sympathies. But Coyle told Mensa's national conference in Indianapolis that over the last 60 years, Americans found to have been spying for Russia have typically had a simpler motivation: money.

Coyle says that's the case with three CIA officers he knew during his time at the agency who were eventually exposed as Russian agents. He says no one had to recruit Aldrich Ames, Jim Nicholson or Edward Howard  -- they all went to Russian intelligence themselves and volunteered to sell secrets. With Howard, Coyle says, there was an element of revenge as well because Howard had been fired from the agency. But Coyle says Ames and Nicholson had both gone through expensive divorces and were looking to raise money.

James Bond-style temptresses aren't entirely extinct. Marine Corporal Clayton Lonetree, a Marine guard at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow when Coyle was stationed there, was convicted of being lured into espionage by a Russian woman on the embassy staff. But Coyle suggests even that case was less a seduction into supporting the Russian cause than a socially awkward and naive Marine unaccustomed to a woman paying attention to him.  [Read More:  Berman/wibc/5Jul2018]

Section III - COMMENTARY

Why China Wants A Super Rocket Like NASA's Space Launch System.  On the eve of America's Independence Day celebration this year, the Chinese official news agency Xinhua carried a story detailing how Beijing intends to catch up with and surpass the most ambitious rocket program the U.S. has ever attempted. That program is NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), and it is frequently billed as the first step in a manned mission to Mars.

SLS initially will use a Boeing core stage powered by four Aerojet Rocketdyne liquid-fuel engines plus strap-on solid-fuel boosters made by Northrop Grumman to lift the Orion crew vessel far beyond where humans have previously ventured. Over time, the rocket will evolve to a larger size capable of lifting 130 metric tons into Low Earth Orbit, over twice the lifting capacity of SpaceX's recently launched Falcon Heavy rocket.

The principle mission of SLS, though, is not to get to Low Earth Orbit. It is designed to support deep space exploration, with an eye to one day visiting Mars -- the only other Earth-like planet in the solar system. However, China has announced no plans for going to Mars. So why does it want a rocket that can lift even more than SLS -- 140 metric tons to Low Earth Orbit, according to the senior official at the Chinese Academy of Engineering quoted in Xinhua's July 2 story?

I have a theory, or at least a suspicion. Unlike in the U.S., where military and civil space programs are managed by separate agencies, the Chinese space program is run mainly by the military. That arrangement is driven partly by economic considerations, but it also reflects the fact that rocket technology can be applied to ballistic missiles and satellites often have military uses. For instance, the People's Liberation Army would prefer not to rely on America's GPS constellation for navigation -- it wants its own positioning constellation.  [Read More:  Thompson/forbes/9Jul2018]

The Senate Intelligence Committee Reaffirms that Russia Meddled. Will Trump Listen?  President Trump and some of his Republican allies have expressed an extraordinary amount of denial about Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The president seethes at the suggestion of collusion or cooperation between his campaign and Russia, calls the special counsel's inquiry a "witch hunt" and "hoax," and continues to suggest that he accepts the assurance of Vladi'mir Putin that Russia did not intervene. That's why a new bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee is important: It counters the bluster of the Trump camp with a dose of reality.

The Senate panel, chaired by Republican Richard Burr (N.C.), examined the methods behind the intelligence community assessment, published on Jan. 6, 2017, by the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This was the second official warning of Russian mischief - a brief report had been made public the previous October - and was ordered by President Barack Obama in December 2016.

The intelligence community's assessment declared: "We assess with high confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election, the consistent goals of which were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump." The new Senate report calls this a "sound intelligence product."

The Senate assessment reveals that, on the second intelligence finding, there was a Russian preference for Mr. Trump, the existence of which the CIA and FBI had "high confidence" in and the NSA "moderate confidence." The Senate panel says it found the interpretive disagreement to be "reasonable, transparent, and openly debated." That is a reassuring conclusion about the process and a welcome contrast to the fuzzy thinking expressed by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee in a March 22 report that criticized intelligence community methods and attempted to exonerate Mr. Trump's campaign.  [Read More:  washingtonpost/8Jul2018]

Tuesday, 10 July 2018, 6:45 pm - Washington, DC - "The Cambridge Five: Soviet Intelligence Spies" discussed by author Calder Walton at the Smithsonian

Kim Philby's name is almost synonymous with Soviet espionage. But Philby was not alone: Along with Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross, he was one of five "Cambridge spies" who penetrated the heart of British intelligence at the height of the Cold War. Using recently declassified British, American, and Soviet intelligence records, Calder Walton, Ernest May Fellow in history and policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, explores the lives and treachery of these British elites from Cambridge University recruited into Soviet intelligence in the 1930s. He examines why they betrayed their homeland for Russia, how close British intelligence came to catching them, reveals another hitherto-undisclosed Soviet spy recruited from Cambridge, and evidence for a similar Soviet espionage ring at Oxford. Walton assesses the damage the Cambridge spies did to the British secret state, and to Britain's closest intelligence ally, the United States. He also sees the story as more than ancient history, and discusses how the legacy of the Cambridge spies is still reflected in contemporary Russian intelligence operations.

Walton is the author Empire of Secrets: British intelligence, the Cold War and the Twilight of Empire [Overlook Pr, 2013].

Gift Suggestions:

AFIO's Guide to the Study of IntelligenceAFIO's 788-page Guide to the Study of Intelligence. Peter C. Oleson, Editor, also makes a good gift. View authors and table of contents here.

Perfect for professors, students, those considering careers in intelligence, and current/former officers seeking to see what changes are taking place across a wide spectrum of intelligence disciplines.

AFIO's Guide to the Study of Intelligence helps instructors teach about the large variety of subjects that make up the field of intelligence. This includes secondary school teachers of American History, Civics, or current events and undergraduate and graduate professors of History, Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and related topics, especially those with no or limited professional experience in the field. Even those who are former practitioners are likely to have only a limited knowledge of the very broad field of intelligence, as most spend their careers in one or two agencies at most and may have focused only on collection or analysis of intelligence or support to those activities.

For a printed, bound copy, it is $95 which includes Fedex shipping to a CONUS (US-based) address.
