Rhodes should know. He tests the security of federal systems by breaking in from within the government and from the Internet. About the same time, just to prove that government hackers know best, the FBI offered Russia to help attack web sites posted by Islamic militants fighting in Dagestan, according to a BBC report. The FBI would probably use existing computer programs for completely erasing a web site at a distance, but a former US Navy engineer has also built a HERF (High-Energy Radio Frequency) "gun" that can disable almost any piece of computer equipment ... from a distance of seven meters. ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 6 SWITZERLAND-ISRAEL-USA - BRUCE RAPPAPORT Someone who keeps popping up in "Intelligence" columns is 76- year-old Swiss-Israeli banker and oil man, Bruce Rappaport, who recently resurfaced in the Bank of New York-Russian money laundering scandal. Major press coverage of the scandal has largely ignored well-documented connections between Rappaport, the CIA, the Israeli Labor Party and several major international scandals. Rappaport is one of the Bank of New York's major shareholders and was linked to a variety of secret operations during the Reagan-Bush era. "Those operations included a strange Iraqi pipeline deal, the Iran-Contra affair, sensitive US Customs stings, the BCCI scandal, the October Surprise case and a mysterious shipment of Israeli weapons to Colombian drug kingpins. Rappaport was known as one of CIA director William Casey's favorite golf partners. Yet, when the 'New York Times' profiled Rappaport and his hand in the Bank of New York's Russian financial deals, the US intelligence connections were left out", according to Consortiumnews.com. The "New York Times" is not the only major newspaper at fault. All "The Guardian" in Britain had to say about Rappaport and the Bank of New York is: "A Geneva banker, Bruce Rappaport, has also been linked to the affair" (22 September). ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 15 NORTHERN IRELAND NEW ORGANIZATION PREPARES FOR WAR A new Republican terrorist coalition, calling itself "Oglaigh na hEireann" (the Gaelic name for the mainstream IRA), involving the "Real IRA" (dissidents who split from the Provisional IRA in the autumn of 1997 in protest against the Sinn Fein political leadership), former members of the Continuity IRA (who broke away in 1986) and some Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) members opposed to the peace process, is waiting to go to war. The organization probably has 75 to 100 activists, according to a Garda Special Branch threat assessment, many of whom have no history of involvement with paramilitary organizations and are unknown to the security forces on both sides of the border. ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 17 FRANCE "CYBER COOPERATION" MAKES A START It's "NOP" (Normal Operating Procedure) in the US for "cyber cops" to invite "cyber criminals" -- hackers -- to public conferences on information technology security. The FBI Cyber Corps is even trying to recruit "Internet-literate" students to work for it while financing their "studies" (most computer security courses, of course, includes some hacking, "just to learn what it's about"). But in France cyber cooperation had never taken place until late last month in Salon-de-Provence where the Service de Cooperation Technique Internationale de Police (SCTIP) organized a meeting entitled, "Criminalite et Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information", in cooperation with the French Interior Ministry. ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 18 FRANCE - Apple Bites the Military's Band Width. Rear Admiral Jacques Bizard is head of the National Military Bureau for Frequency Use (INT, n. 65 20) which has a "civilian appendix" that was quietly set up in 1997: Agence Nationale de Frequences (ANF) (INT, n. 75 17). The ANF is directed by Jean-Marc Chaduc, and is supposed to control and keep the electromagnetic spectrum in France under surveillance. The "civilian" ANF even has an operational "hit squad" under the orders of General Le Guen with 70 specialists, six centers, 20 vehicles and headquarters in the Paris suburb of Villejuif. But when Apple wanted to put its new iBook AirPort lap-top on sale in France, it was Gen. Bizard who got angry and protested. The AirPort wireless transmitter for accessing the Internet uses the 2.4- GHz band reserved by the French military. ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 21 NETHERLANDS A BUSY FORTNIGHT FOR "CRIME BUSTERS" On 24 September, the local press reported that over the past few months Amsterdam police tracked down and arrested a Serbian gang involved in collecting and distributing a large cache of weapons, in cannabis smuggling and in car theft operations. The arrests come amid an increased effort among Amsterdam police to counteract the increase in firearm violence in the Netherlands this year. The Amsterdam police reportedly also arrested a former Royal Dutch Marine and Delta crime syndicate member, "Mink K" (INT, n. 102 21), who played a major role in the import of 15,000 kilos of cocaine by the now disbanded IRT police intelligence service. In his Nachtwaachtlaan apartment, the police discovered 220 weapons, including Ingram Mk-10 machine pistols, handguns, grenade launchers, infrared sights, bullet-proof vests, detonators and 232,000 ecstasy tablets. Mink K was also a central figure in the infiltration of Belgian criminal intelligence and the European Schengen Information System (SIS) (see "Belgium - 'Crazy Kingdom' Tops Itself with Veeckman Scandal", INT, n. 71 1). ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 22 GERMANY REAL & IMAGINARY PROBLEMS FOR THE BND There have been recent media stories about the German Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) being in hot water and ready for some changes because of the discovery of an arms trafficking ring led by a Canadian businessmen, the doubtful legality of BND eavesdropping operations and the secret financing of political parties. As is often the case, such "scoops" and rather sensationalistic reports miss the real problem: the Bnd's association or even dependence upon the CIA and the US, a problem only slightly noted publicly when, on 28 September, the media reported that three CIA agents had been "withdrawn" from Germany with the government's "encouragement". ...(cut)... --------------------------------------------- Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 25 GUYANA SECRET SATELLITE LAUNCH SITE TALKS Negotiations between the US company, Beal Aerospace Technologies (BAT), and the Guyanese government's Office for Investment (Go-Invest), which took place in the capital Georgetown last month, made "significant progress" toward an agreement which would allow BAT to establish a state-of-the-art commercial missile launch site on the north bank of the Waini River, an extremely swampy waterway, and provide clear orbital launch corridors to the north and the east. BAT wants to purchase or lease a 10-kilometer stretch of land to build a vehicle assembly plant, payload processing facilities, a launch control complex, a 3.5 kilometer runway, and ancillary buildings which will house administration and on-site security personnel. The Guyanese officials present at the meeting included Go-Invest chairman, Edgar Heyliger, director Deochand Narain and Chief Parliamentary Counsel, Cecil Dhurjon. An internal memo to Prime Minister Sam Hinds confirmed, after three days of talks, that BAT's Corporate General Counsel, David Spoede, was optimistic that an agreement could be reached "in the weeks ahead" which will be "mutually beneficial" to Guyana, the Guyanese people and BAT. ...(cut)... *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* int-free Mailing List ===== Click Here: <A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:563329">INTelligence #105 - Agenda</A> ----- Subject: INTelligence #105 - Agenda From: <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">NY-Transfer-News@abbi e.blythe.org</A> Date: Fri, 22 October 1999 05:52 AM EDT Message-id: <89b83ca0&[EMAIL PROTECTED]> INTelligence #105 - Agenda Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit ............................................................... *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* int-free mailing list *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* AGENDA Intelligence, N. 105, 18 October 1999, p. 8 COMING EVENTS THROUGH 1 DECEMBER 1999 In the interest of efficiency, "Intelligence" lists all coming events in each issue as a single article in the section "Agenda".

One hundred places are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. More and more students of the Cold War are beginning to realize the important role intelligence communities played during the Cold War. In recent years, in particular, the importance of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) has been stressed and especially the capabilities and possibilities of reading and deciphering diplomatic, military and commercial communications of other nations. This growing awareness of the importance of intelligence applies not only to the activities of the major services but also to those of the smaller nations like, for example, the Netherlands. For this reason, a couple of years ago the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association (NISA) was established so that academics and (former and still active) members of the Netherlands intelligence community could work together to promote research in the history of Dutch intelligence communities and to organize conferences such as the forthcoming one. 29 November-2 December, Miami Beach, Florida, Defense Manufacturing Conference. 29 November-2 December, Orlando, Florida, I/ITSEC. 29 November-2 December, Tampa, Florida, Insensitive Munitions & Energetic Materials Technology meeting. 30 November-5 December, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA '99) meeting. 1-3 December, Paris, Internet-Intranet - Security & Firewalls. *+*+*+*+*++*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ int-free Mailing List ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 <A HREF="http://www.blythe.org">http://www.blythe.org</A> e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= nytcov-10.22.99-09:51:09-20817 ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
