2 Questions: Do You Write An Intelligence Blog and What's Your Favorite?

If you write an IB blog, what is it? What's your favorite Intelligence-oriented blog or newsletter? I write IntelFusion, and enjoy reading The Spy Who Billed Me, Haft of the Spear, ThreatsWatch, and while its not a blog, NightWatch (John McCreary's newsletter).

I write a blog but no one ever associates the word "intelligence" with it.

Steve, I've been by several times and most give me a double take. It's not covert or at all dumb.

I'm currently scanning your latest while on evening shifts :)

I do not consider ThreatsWatch to be an "intelligence" blog - although I keep up with it, I consider it a poor second to Bill Roggio's The Long War Journal. Pat Lang's Sic Semper Tyrannis isn't bad, but still not truly "intelligence-oriented".

And although The Spy Who Billed Med and Haft of the Spear may be considered "intelligence-oriented", they aren't as much "intelligence" blogs as is Kent's Imperative, which I prefer.

Sam, you've once again cheated by adding biker pics and chicks :p

BTW, I applied for an account at your place in order to respond to you posts, and have yet to hear back :mad: Was that in effect a subliminal message :confused:

Regards, Stan

.....for a decent blog discussing issues similar/related to what we talk about here and on the SWJ blog - but that throws in a completely unrelated picture of a naked woman (or women) with each entry - look at Swedish Meatballs Confidential.

OMG! I just looked at the most recent entry there. Sheila Jager, who works for me, would NOT appreciate the picture accompanying the entry.

From a new article by Robert N. Charette in IEEE Spectrum, Open-Source Warfare:

To understand open-source warfare, it's instructive to revisit Eric S. Raymond's 1997 manifesto, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, in which he describes how a large community of open-source software hackers created the operating system Linux.

Such visual aides in an otherwise training environment are...well...hmmm

Wow, Kent's Imperative is in a class of its own. There's no author info. What are his credentials, do you know?

That's okay,:D A hat-tip to Stan for linking Steve's book. Very helpful to us newbies to this site.

P.S. To Steve, I just read it, great insight!:cool:

Well (in your defense), I applied under another 'call sign' in keeping with the traditions of Secret Squirrel :cool:

I'll give it another shot in the AM (on duty and beat).

Intel Dump is not just strictly intel but a good read >> http://www.intel-dump.com/

Interesting thread - and thanks for all mention (SMC), both favorable and less so. An interesting offshoot to this thread might be crappy self-proclaimed IBs.

We'd love to pull a dissonance dissipating pic-SWAP at SMC for that particular post if a decent surrogate pic can be suggestedby other. Just remember, vice is a slippery slope so be ye careful with thoust placating suggestions unto us.;)

Several of our/my fav IB's have already been mentioned here. Off the beaten path, and perhaps not quite a blog, is SAAG

Greetings, M1 !

Although I'm just across the 'pond' I had yet to notice your site (Ted typically finds folks like you much faster :cool:).

If you make to Estonia we'll have to get together and sample beers and discuss new pics for you site :p

Welcome aboard and regards, Stan
