  The mind is a vast, echoing castle, where every hidden chamber holds an emotion, a memory, a silent dream waiting to be discovered.   The evident laudanum of  the artist of the mind  is  aliquid stat pro aliquo  of medieval philosop hers: semiotics. It is a mental drug that mind’s artist administered in small doses to those who interact with him. An ointment of the same quality and value of almond oil and beeswax, a tonic of vital hardening.   Within the fortress of the mind, secret gardens of joy and shadowed dungeons of sorrow lie concealed, each a testament to the soul's intricate architecture.   The lesson of the Artist retains all its truth. His categorical and unconditional mental imperative is that: to an  input  corresponds an  output , to a communicative verbal sign or non-verbal, corresponds an emotional response. In essence, it is not a rational contradiction reading the semiotics of a text and decipher the e...

  Like a master weaver, intelligence gathers threads of data, transforming them into the rich tapestry of insight     Which man knows all the answers? You must create an artificial celestial map. A borderland. Of course, the sublime and wonderful, the transcendental and the valuable, the wonderful elegiac can hide even in coffee and bourbon. In fact, the great revolution of the Intelligence essentially consists to have taken the individual vocations of its team – be able in a certain way – has led to unity the individuals ferment, the elective affinities.   The Ghost in the machine: apparently cold and gray, with an innate ability to capture the essence of the events. The Ghost's claim –  Sacrificium intellectus  – to make  Intelligence  a kind of method of knowing, that glimpse him with deep awareness of the critical operational needs.   In the actions and human wills, that are always subject to the –  finite limit...

"The compass of power no longer points north, but spins, catching glints of ambition from every horizon."  For decades, the world order operated under a relatively straightforward power dynamic. The Cold War pitted two superpowers against each other, creating a bipolar landscape. Then, the collapse of the Soviet Union ushered in an era of American dominance, a unipolar moment that many believed would define the 21st century. However, the global stage is now undergoing a profound transformation, shifting towards a multipolar world, where influence is increasingly diffused among multiple centers of power. Today's multipolarism is more multifaceted, encompassing economic, technological, and soft power. Today, while ideological differences exist (e.g., democratic vs. authoritarian systems), the global ideological landscape is arguably more complex and less binary than the Cold War's clear divide. "In the grand orchestra of nations, no single conductor holds the ...

It's difficult to play an intelligence game where you don't know where the pieces are. Mr Genzman: Would you characterize Oswald as a possible counterintelligence threat? Mr Jones: I considered him to be a counterintelligence threat at any time that he would have been in the area that I was responsible for operations. Mr Genzman: on the day of the assassination, did you know that Lee Harvey Oswald was located in Dallas? Mr Jones. No I did not. Colonel Jones, officer in charge of the 112 MI group in 1963, did not know that Oswald was in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald or Alek James Hidell, someone with an Intelligence-rich background. A piece that someone knew was in the city of Dallas. The name Lee Harvey Oswald and the name Alek James Hidell, hides within themself the name of the city of Dallas. L ee H a rvey O s w ald = DALLAS      A lek J a me s Hi d e ll = DALLAS Oswald, which of the two doubles? A marine? A communist? A Marxist? A...
