Should The Secret Service Have Shot The Sniper Sooner? Reports of the Secret Service Agent not being authorized to take the shot when he had the suspect in his sights for over 3 minutes do not coincide with the DHS policy on use of force. The agent should not have been awaiting the go-ahead to take out the potential assassin. Here is a look into the actual USE OF FORCE Policy. #trump #USSS #SecretService #PresidentTrump #news #breakingnews #assassin #TrumpShooter #WorldNews #USSecretService #ProtectiveDetail #trumprally #unitedstates #police #presidential #ProPicsCanada #JamesCousineau #PresidentBiden #presidentoftheunitedstates #potus #fbi

The horrific attack at a Moscow concert is an unwelcome but important reminder that terrorism is an ongoing threat to civilians everywhere. As the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center--Christy Abizaid -- said on 9/11 last year, "The threat of terrorism is not gone. Every week, threat-related intelligence lands on my desk, kicking into gear the behind-the-scenes work of the counterterrorism enterprise... Countering terrorism is a job that is never done." (https://lnkd.in/eJNKuRFy). The IC's counterterrorism work benefits not just the United States and its partners and allies, but nation state adversaries as well. Media stories have quoted an NSC spokesperson as saying "The U.S. Government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its long-standing ‘duty to warn’ policy." Is that laid out in a statute? An executive order? It is actually set forth in an "Intelligence Community Directive," and is available on the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. ICD 191, Duty to Warn, was signed by DNI Jim Clapper in 2015, and establishes as IC policy that "An IC element that collects or acquires credible and specific information indicating an impending threat of intentional killing, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping directed at a person or group of people shall have a duty to warn the intended victim or those responsible for protecting the intended victim, as appropriate. " https://lnkd.in/eppQBPAY

New today from TAT/ Truth about Threats Another day, another full frontal assault, on America’s national security by the MAGA/ Russian Republican Party in US Congress In my first article this week, I link together three high-profile events/ incidents from the last couple of days. What links them together and dramatically spikes the severity of many forms of threats to American democratic republic is MAGA/ Russian #NarrativeWarfare. Can we please stop the insanity of seeing these acute threats as “political.” Concurrently we need the media stop labeling the GOP, fully dominated by MAGA, as “conservative.” They would never publish that I was the Super Bowl MVP or an astronaut but they continue to publish that the party denying Ukraine funding, applauding Texas’ vigilante abortion law or that the election denial of the Office of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is “conservative.” This applies to even those news outlets that consider themselves credible. One primary aspect of the mis/ disinformation threats to our nation, is that one “side” is living on conspiracy theories and false narratives completely and the other, partially. Words have meanings and so long as media keeps upgrading extremism to “conservatism” they are helping to sustain these detachments from reality.

On this day 82 years ago, June 13th 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Office of Strategic Services. The OSS was the first effort in U.S. history to centralize intelligence collection and analysis. Prior to the OSS, government agencies independently collected their own ad hoc intelligence, creating gaps in knowledge which contributed to intelligence failures such as Pearl Harbor. The OSS, although short-lived, established the groundwork for the CIA and the professionalization of intelligence. Similar to how the OSS built American defenses against foreign governments through filling the gaps of the U.S. information space, 2430 Group aims to build revolutionary defenses for the U.S private sector. Adversarial states steal Western intellectual property and technology to bolster their economies and international standing, yet governments cannot protect businesses from these state-sponsored attacks. 2430 Group educates and equips private businesses, universities, NGOs, and government agencies to defend against IP theft, attacks on critical infrastructure, and disinformation.

This week the 4th I-CAN Operational Working Group meeting takes place in Uruguay. This is the last in a series of meetings held in South America. Earlier workshops took place in Argentina in November 2023, Brazil in December 2023 and Colombia in February 2024. Each edition gathered close to 100 participants, bringing together investigators, analysts, and prosecutors – connecting experts nationally, regionally, and globally to share expertise, intelligence, and best practices. I-CAN is INTERPOL’s dedicated project to combat ‘Ndrangheta. With roots in the Italian region of Calabria, today it is one of the most extensive and powerful criminal organizations in the world. Funded by the Italian Department of Public Security, I-CAN raises global awareness and understanding about the ‘Ndrangheta and their modus operandi and coordinates a global law enforcement approach by leveraging INTERPOL’s global network, capabilities and analytical tools.
