The true story of the father and son co-conspirators
who deceived their country by selling national secrets to Russia.
Released 18 January 2022
Interview of Monday, 10 January 2022 of Bryan Denson, author of the book "The Spy's Son: The True Story of the Highest-Ranking CIA Officer Ever Convicted of Espionage and the Son He Trained to Spy for Russia" (2015): Host/Interviewer: James Hughes, AFIO President, former CIA Operations Officer.
Bryan Denson tells the riveting story of the Nicholsons—father and son co-conspirators who deceived their country by selling national secrets to Russia. Jim Nicholson [Harold James Nicholson] was one of the CIA's top veteran case officers. By day, he taught spycraft at the CIA's clandestine training center, The Farm. By night, he was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his kids. But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly with agents of Russia's foreign intelligence service and turned over troves of classified documents. In 1997, Nicholson became the highest ranking CIA officer ever convicted of espionage. But his duplicity didn't stop there. While behind the bars of a federal prison, the former mole systematically groomed the one person he trusted most to serve as his stand-in: his youngest son, Nathan. When asked to smuggle messages out of prison to Russian contacts, Nathan saw an opportunity to be heroic and to make his father proud.
The interview runs 19 minutes. The book is available from Amazon.

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Nuclear Weapons, China, and a Strategic Defense Initiative for this Century - by Michael R. Pompeo, The National Interest, 18 Jan 2022
A modern strategy for addressing the threats we now confront must be conceptually similar to Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative and draw from the lessons it conveyed. It must also maintain the sufficiency of our triad and apply technologically advanced answers to the array of new threats we face.
In 2019, I was honored to receive the Hudson Institute's Herman Kahn Award. Herman Kahn, the esteemed physicist, strategist, and futurist, founded the Hudson Institute. No book is more aptly titled than Kahn's Thinking about the Unthinkable, published in 1962.
Kahn forced American strategists, our military, and our political leaders to confront issues that are supremely important, but, in equal measure, repellent. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to confront our nation's strategic threats and options. Article continues here
Texas Synagogue Hostage Incident Demonstrates Endurance of Transnational Terror Networks - Ali Soufan, intelBrief, 18 Jan 2022
A hostage situation unfolded over the weekend near Fort Worth, TX, when 44-year-old British national Malik Faisal Akram took worshippers hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel of Colleyville, a Jewish synagogue.
President Biden called the incident an "act of terror"; Akram's demands revealed connections to Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who has become a cause célèbre among jihadists, including al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Siddiqui has often been used as a rallying cry for terrorist groups who have on several occasions attempted to swap hostages or captives for her release.
The Colleyville incident highlighted that informal and formal networks that foster extremism and promote jihadist violence remain intact, especially in the United Kingdom and Europe.
A dramatic hostage situation took place over the weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, when 44-year-old British national Malik Faisal Akram took worshippers hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel of Colleyville, a Jewish synagogue. The ordeal lasted for nearly 11 hours, before an elite group of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hostage rescue team rescued all of the hostages, who emerged unharmed.

Warnings of 'Civil War' Risk Harming Efforts Against Political Violence - by Anjali Dayal, Alexandra Stark, and Megan A. Stewart, War on the Rocks, 18 Jan 2022
A year on from the Jan. 6 insurrection, experts warn of catastrophic political violence, while political commentators invoke the specter of the 1860s and throw out sensationalist headlines about a second U.S. Civil War. "The unimaginable has become reality in the United States. … [T]he basic truth is the United States might be on the brink of [a civil] war today," read one such argument.
The emerging cottage industry of speculation and alarm specifically about a civil war in the United States worries us. The shape and content of this debate — covered in venues as mainstream as NPR — risks mis-framing an urgent problem for non-specialist audiences. Rather than asking whether the United States will have a new civil war, commentators ought to be asking: What kinds of risks for political violence does the United States face? Commentary continues here
New Domestic Terrorism Unit at the Department of Justice — Talking Points - Jamil Jaffer, NSI, 12 Jan 2022
The headline: The creation by the Biden Administration of a new domestic terrorism unit within the Justice Department's National Security Division has generated some controversy because of the potential of such investigations to potentially chill free speech and political expression.
Our take: There is a history, going back to the 1960s and 1970s of national security tools being used to investigate domestic political activists and groups, including the Black Panther Party, Joan Baez, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the like, including the FBI's COINTELPRO effort as well as CIA's Operation Chaos and NSA's Operation Minaret.

Hamas Alleges That Israel Has 'Killer Dolphins' - HI Sutton, Covert Shores, 10 Jan 2022
A video posted by Hamas alleges that one of its frogmen was killed by an Israeli trained dolphin. This may not be as far fetched as it at first sounds. The video (shared on Twitter) shows a harness which it alleges was recovered. The harness appears to fit the nose of a dolphin. And is similar to those used in US Navy and Russian Navy marine mammal programs. The harness appears to have a spear gun-like device attached.
Dolphins cannot tell friend-or-foe so generally you would not expect them to deliver lethal force. Instead they mark the target with a buoy. The harness device may be part of that type of system. Or, possibly, it is indeed a straightforward weapon. There is no evidence that confirms that the harness is Israeli, or even off a dolphin. However the report does have some credibility. It is at least plausible that Israel may have a Navy marine mammal program. Analysis, photos, and videos continue here

Intelligence Matters: A CBS News original
national security podcast hosted by former CIA acting director
and CBS News national security contributor Michael Morell. Morell is crisp, precise, cautious, fair, avoids
political slant, and provides remarkable insights. Not to miss.
The
most recent "Intelligence Matters" podcasts/interviews by or with Mike Morell:
Jan 12 | "Applying Cold War Lessons to Great Power Competition: Historian Hal Brands"
Morell speaks with Hal Brands, the Henry Kissinger Distinguished Professor of Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and the author of the new book, "The Twilight Struggle: What the Cold War Teaches Us About Great Power Rivalry Today." Morell and Brands discuss the ways in which applied history can help policymakers make better-informed strategic decisions today. They move through a selection of Cold War-era lessons outlined by Brands in his book to inform the United States' approach to competition with Russia and China. They also discuss why some efforts - including the forging global partnerships and successfully projecting democratic values - may pose more of a challenge for the United States today than it did in decades past.

FTC Jumps Into Llog4j Cleanup... - Stewart Baker, Others at Steptoe Cyberblog
Cyberblog
by Steptoe & Johnson LLP — By Stewart Baker on 12 Jan 2022
Episode 389: The FTC Jumps Into Llog4j Cleanup with One Foot
The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) other foot, I argue, is lodged firmly in its mouth. Tatyana Bolton defends the agency, which released what can only be described as a regulatory blog post in response to the log4j vulnerability, invoking the $700 million in fines imposed on Equifax to threatening "to use its full legal authority to pursue companies that fail to take reasonable steps to protect consumer data from exposure as a result of Log4j." She stresses that this is the best way to get companies to patch quickly and notes that only "reasonable steps" are required. ... Glenn Gerstell gives us a tour of China's tech regulatory landscape, and the remarkable decline in the fortunes of consumer tech firms in that country... Mark MacCarthy explains why the proposal to marry cryptocurrency to Signal ... Continue Reading

Section III - BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION BY MEMBERS
Correction: The story "Literary License to Kill - The FSB's new "Vector" Journal" which ran in this Section III "Brought To Our Attention by Members" in WIN #02-22 last week, was based on a forwarded item from a member without a clear original source. The Cipher Brief later informed us that the story originated from their publication behind their paywall or sent only to paying members. AFIO apologizes for the unintended listing of that item and missing attribution. That item was immediately removed from the online WIN. Articles behind paywalls are rarely cited in AFIO publications to avoid inconvenience to our readers and to respect the restrictions placed on access by publishers.
AFIO WINs welcomes new articles but urges all members, forwarding anything to us, to always indicate the original source and provide a hyperlink for our verification.
Swedish spy agency investigates drone sightings at three nuclear power plants - Joe Fitsanankis, IntelNews, 18 Jan 2022
Sweden's domestic security agency said it had taken over from the police an investigation into sightings of unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, at three nuclear power plants. On Monday, the Swedish Security Service, known by its Swedish acronym, SAPO, confirmed earlier reports that a large-size drone had been spotted on Friday by security guards over the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant. The facility is located just short of 95 miles north of Sweden's capital, Stockholm. It is known as the country's largest producer of electricity, generating one sixth of its electricity supply.

FBI v. Fazaga: Supreme Court Examines Interplay of State Secrets Privilege and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - CRS, 12 Jan 2022
On November 8, 2021, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) v. Fazaga, a case that explores the circumstances in which a federal court may examine classified information in a civil lawsuit in order to review the legality of certain government surveillance activities. The plaintiffs in Fazaga are three Muslim individuals who allege that the FBI directed a confidential informant to conduct surveillance at the plaintiffs' homes, businesses, and places of worship based purely on their religious identity. Such surveillance was conducted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), which authorizes, among other things, electronic surveillance and physical searches if there is probable cause to believe that the targets are agents of a foreign power. The plaintiffs sued the government alleging various constitutional and statutory claims. The plaintiffs also sued several FBI officials in their individual capacities pursuant to Section 110 of FISA (50 U.S.C. § 1810) which provides a civil remedy for an "aggrieved person . . . who has been subjected to an electronic surveillance" in violation of federal law.

Ukraine and the Danger of Human Miscalculation - by Dell Dailey James P. Farwell, The National Interest, 18 Jan 2022
We must guard against the danger of human miscalculation in anticipating how each side may react to action by the other.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat to invade Ukraine and President Joe Biden's threat to sanction Russia in response cast into high relief the danger of human miscalculation in causing a war neither side wants. Each side may miscalculate what the other may do, and each other's options are asymmetrical to the other's. That Putin has leaned so far forward makes it hard for him to back down without anything to show for his saber-rattling.
Don't expect an invasion to end with Western sanctions. Thus, a key issue isn't whether the West can deter an invasion. It's what happens after that. Article continues here
The Unresolved Case of the January 6th Pipe Bomber by Ali Soufan, intelBrief, 14 Jan 2022
As awful as the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection was for the health of American politics, society, and democracy, it could have been dramatically worse if one or both of the two pipe bombs planted in the early hours before the riot had exploded. One pipe bomb was discovered near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) building, and another was found near the Republican National Committee (RNC) building. Both pipe bombs were functioning explosive devices, capable of injuring and/or killing anyone close by if they had gone off. Those in this vicinity included then Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, who was reportedly evacuated from the DNC when the bomb was discovered outside near a park bench. The reality that someone manufactured and planted two viable pipe bombs just before the criminal events of January 6 is troubling in and of itself; that the perpetrator is still unknown and at large a year later is of great concern.

JUDAS 62 & the 21st Century Espionage Novel - by Joshua Huminski, Dir, Mike Rogers Ctr for Intel, GMU - in NSI, 18 Jan 2022
Stanford University professor Amy Zegart recently penned a piece in the Atlantic decrying the effects that fictional spies have on real world intelligence. Characters like James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, Jack Bauer, and others warp what people think intelligence officers do, what intelligence can achieve, and what the world of espionage is like.
Most "spying", at least on screen, is more action-thriller than the fairly staid world of real spy-versus-spy action. Ironically, the land of James Bond, the United Kingdom, also gifted the world with the most realistic spy and my personal favorite, George Smiley. But his slow, methodical, and unassuming style sadly does not draw viewers the same way that the suave-yet-deadly 007 can and does. Review continues here
CAREERS: Machiavellian Maxims: 10 Timeless Examples of Examples of Renaissance Wisdom - Steven Matthew Leonard, ClearanceJobs, 18 Jan 2022
Machiavelli gets a bad rap. It's not uncommon to hear someone describe Machiavelli in deeply narcissistic, self-serving terms. To be called Machiavellian typically suggests a lack of emotion, a tendency toward deception, and a darkly manipulative personality. When we describe a politician as Machiavellian, it conveys a not-so-subtle lack of moral sensibility. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a Machiavellian personality is "cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous, especially in politics or in advancing one's career." According to a 2018 History Channel profile, Machiavelli's legacy could be described as "the ends always justify the means—no matter how cruel, calculating or immoral those means might be."

Red-Handed: How America's Most Powerful People Help China Win
by Peter Schweizer
(Harper, Jan 2022)
Schweizer says that, in a quarter-century as an investigative journalist, this is the scariest investigation he has ever conducted. That the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its quest for global hegemony. Presidential families, Silicon Valley gurus, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League universities, even professional athletes—all willing to sacrifice American strength and security on the altar of personal enrichment. Teveals the secret deals wealthy Americans have cut to help China build its military, technological, and economic might. And shows that many of these elites quietly believe the Chinese dictatorial regime is superior to American democracy, while their policies here hamper our own competitive spirit.

A Knock at the Door: The Story of My Secret Work With Israeli MIAs and POWs
by Ory Slonim
(Wicked Son Press, Dec 2021)
The inside story of Israel's secret negotiations to bring home their soldiers taken hostage by terrorist groups. Suppose one day, your son or husband, while serving in the military or working as a journalist, is taken hostage by a terrorist group—and you have no idea whether your loved one is dead or alive or how to even make contact with the insurgents holding him. It's a nightmare scenario that has sadly taken place dozens of times in the past twenty years in the Middle East. Here in the U.S., the government does not always get involved. Instead, it will engage the services of a neutral country to negotiate with the terrorists. Unfortunately, many times the terrorists insist on never-ending demands in order to torment the family of the hostage. Unlike Israel, we've never had a central address for these types of scenarios. But maybe after reading this book, it's an idea we could, and should, consider. Ory Slonim, the international "door knocker" was an invention of necessity by the Israeli government.

The American Girl Goes to War: Women and National Identity in U.S. Silent Film (War Culture)
by Liz Clarke
(Rutgers Univ Press, Jan 2022)
During the 1910s, films about war often featured a female protagonist. The films portrayed women as spies, cross-dressing soldiers, and athletic defenders of their homes—roles typically reserved for men and that contradicted gendered-expectations of home-front women waiting for their husbands, sons, and brothers to return from battle. The representation of American martial spirit—particularly in the form of heroines—has a rich history in film in the years just prior to the American entry into World War I. Clarke demonstrates the predominance of heroic female characters in in early narrative films about war from 1908 to 1919. American Girls were filled with the military spirit of their forefathers and became one of the major ways that American women's changing political involvement, independence, and active natures were contained by and subsumed into pre-existing American ideologies.

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow to news of: A massive cyber-attack that irreparably damaged financial markets and shut down critical infrastructure, or A significant conventional defeat due to strategic surprise like happened at Pearl Harbor, or The release of a manufactured pathogen that marks the beginning of a new global pandemic. Each of the scenarios above, and others, could be caused in part by a catastrophic intelligence failure. Drawing on the lessons of World War II and in the context of the impending Cold War, the United States Congress passed the National Security Act of 1947 to address institutional challenges and to set favorable conditions for U.S. intelligence and national security. Now, nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century, the National Security Act of 1947 remains the bedrock of the U.S. national security enterprise, but in a world in which the threats and challenges have dramatically changed. We pose an overarching question: If you were starting from scratch, what might a National Security Act for the next 75 years contain to address current shortcomings and to improve intelligence capabilities, structures, and organizations to meet requirements in the years ahead? The Intelligence and Applied History Projects at Harvard's Belfer Center invite submissions for an essay contest on imagining a new U.S. National Security Act for the 21st century. Essays should consider the rise of China, technological advances, globalization, changes in U.S. relative power, redefinition of national security to include economic and cyber issues, espionage at scale, compression of decision time, and climate change—among other trends you deem important—and how these factors might drive a paradigm shift for U.S. intelligence and national security in general. As you examine this question and possible approaches to a reformed national intelligence enterprise, we invite you to provide a framework for new legislation along with ideas for what the United States should prioritize. The best papers should address the national interests at stake and the most pressing challenges your construct is designed to address. What institutions, mechanisms, legal requirements, or other factors would you choose to create, merge, alter, or abolish and why? What efficiencies, benefits, and synergies are part of the big picture objective? Finally, what are the foreseeable impediments to your proposed changes and what is driving them?

David Oakley will address the Florida Suncoast AFIO Chapter on the DoD/CIA postwar relationship.
In the face of concerns that intelligence support to the military was over-emphasized towards the end of the 20th century, Mr. Oakley makes the case that the CIA has maintained its support of the military by directing a significant amount of its resources toward global counterterrorism efforts and military operations.
We have striven to make our meetings informative but also provide the opportunity to meet with colleagues and maintain the ties that are a foundation of involvement in the intelligence community. Almost certainly, we have all experienced Zoom overload, so this is a great chance to gather in person following all COVID-19 and Omicron guidelines.
SAFETY: As done in past inperson meetings, the chapter will employ suitable safeguards as required by local authorities.
REGISTRATION GUIDELINES: Forthcoming. Obtain details from the Chapter secretary at michaels@suncoastafio.org to also email your RSVP or fax them to (813) 832-1154.
The cost is $10, cash or check made out to "Suncoast Chapter, AFIO."
TO ATTEND: If you will be attending, please send an email to Michael Shapiro at michaels@suncoastafio.org, no later than noon on Wednesday, 16 February, with your name and the names of any guests.
If you make a reservation, find that you cannot attend, but do not formally cancel and receive a cancellation confirmation by 16 February, and then fail to show up, you will be responsible for the cost of your registration because the chapter will have to pay for your scheduled, uneaten meal.
Omicron, or variants to follow, still has many events and conferences speculative; but, hold this date on your calendar for a possible "first of 2022" in-person AFIO National event to be held at DoubleTree, 1960 Chain Bridge Rd, McLean, VA.
Details and registration links to follow. Questions to annettej@afio.com

Aden Magee is an internationally-renowned expert on full-spectrum threats to our way of life. He is a career intelligence and counterintelligence (CI) professional with a legacy of experience supporting U.S. government agencies including the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Department of Homeland Security.
The Cold War was a Wilderness of Mirrors—a broad labyrinth of chess games played on multiple boards in support of integrated battles supporting even larger fronts on the "battlefields" of the Cold War. This presentation addresses two of the little-known, interrelated games of chess involving the U.S. Military Liaison Mission and the Soviet Military Liaison Mission -- both of which operated "behind enemy lines" for over four decades in Cold War Germany. These Military Liaison Missions were unique to the Cold War era, and their operations were among the most fitting microcosms of the battle for Europe which was a vital component of the strategic Cold War landscape.
The presentation opens an unprecedent historical time-capsule based on declassified U.S. government documents and first-hand accounts that could only be provided by the few secret warriors who fought the enemy in the streets of Cold War Europe. This disclosure of the many never-before documented histories and insights regarding the competing Military Liaison Missions also provides missing pieces to many of the puzzles that would have otherwise faded from human memory. In addition to being a unique story within a story within another story, this discussion applies some of the most important and relevant counterintelligence and intelligence principles to the lesser-known, and mainly never-known, episodes that will be recounted. The lessons learned when the bar was the highest are the ones that should be retained, and the Cold War Soviet adversary set the absolute highest counterintelligence, intelligence, and disinformation bar ever.
Cost: $20, 100% of which is a contribution to the Cold War Museum.
Location: ONLINE ONLY. Eventbrite ticket buyers will receive a link to the virtual room on the Zoom platform where this event will take place. We are recording the whole event, including the Q&A, for the Museum's archives.
Agenda: • 1:30-2:00. Participants arrive in the Zoom room online; • 2:00-2:05. Jason Hall, Executive Director of the Cold War Museum, introduces the Museum and Aden Magee; • 2:05-3:00. Aden presents on the history of the U. S. AND Soviet Military Liaison Missions; • 3:00-3:30. Q&A opportunity for the audience.
