    EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE ACADEMY (EIA) E-BOOK No. 1, MAY 2013 ANTONY ANTONIOU (OSINT Security Analyst) OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION, THE FUTURE OF INTELLIGENCE Copyright: Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS) EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE ACADEMY E-BOOK No. 1 MAY 2013 OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION, THE FUTURE OF INTELLIGENCE ANTONY ANTONIOU (OSINT Security Analyst) Preface. People from ancient times to our days had understood the importance of information and the significant role that valid information can play in all fields of human activities (politics, economy, during wars etc). References to spies, and their methods – techniques and means that they used can be found in historical texts from antiquity until today, also known theorists of war have addressed and reported (in their writings), the importance of information and the necessity of an enemy misinformation (we will mention two of them of Carl Von Clausewitz1 and Sun - Tzu2). The intelligence services began to take shape during the Second World War. Pioneers at the “intelligence field” were the Germans (in espionage, cryptography - cryptology, propaganda and generally speaking at the development of the appropriate techniques – methods and instruments – means), followed by British. Americans because of their non-participation in the war had left behind in the development of techniques and means for collecting and processing information. This changed after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor3 and the American entry into the war4. The USA intelligence 1 Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz (1 July 1780 – 16 November 1831): was a German-Prussian soldier and military theorist who stressed the "moral" (in modern terms, psychological) and political aspects of war.

  • História Špionáže Po Roku 1945, Do Roku 2010 - 4
    História špionáže po roku 1945, do roku 2010 - 4. časť :) Roku 1947 - na základe Národného zákona o spravodajskej službe vznikla Ústredná spravodajská služba (CIA). Vychádza z koncepcie vytvorenej v roku 1944 a skladá sa z niekoľkých odborov. Odbor pre operácie zodpovedá za tajné získavanie všetkých zahraničných spravodajských informácií a za kontrašpionáž mimo USA. Analýzu spravodajskej činnosti a vypracovávanie záverečných správ pripravuje odbor pre spravodajskú činnosť. Medzi oddeleniami odboru pre administratívu je aj oddelenie bezpečnosti, ktoré zodpovedá za personál a fyzickú bezpečnosť CIA. Je tu aj odbor pre vedu a techniku s viacerými oddeleniami: oddelenie technických služieb, oddelenie operácií SIGINT, Národné fotografické interpretačné stredisko, Informačná služba pre zahraničné vysielanie... V čase fungovania totalitných režimov v Európe - sa pri výsluchoch používal skopolamín, tzv. sérum pravdy. Využíval sa dôsledok otravy touto látkou[1], t.j. stav, kedy intoxinovaný odpovedá na rýchlo kladené otázky bez akejkoľvek kontroly. Aplikácia séra pravdy Roku 1950 - vznikla izraelská vojenská tajná služba Aman. Roku 1953 - vznikol v Sovietskom zväze Výbor štátnej bezpečnosti – KGB. Roku 1951 - vznikla izraelská tajná služba Mossad. Roku 1952 - bola založená americká Národná bezpečnostná agentúra (NSA). Má tri hlavné oblasti činnosti. Prvou zložkou je informačná bezpečnosť, druhou zhromažďovanie zahraničných spojovacích informácií (SIGINT) a treťou je vytváranie kódov a šifier používaných spravodajskými službami a armádou. NSA sa pokúša rozlúštiť kódy a šifry cudzích mocností. Roku 1953 - v americkej väznici Sing Sing popravili Juliusa Rosenberga a jeho manželku Ethel. Súd ich uznal vinnými z vojenskej a priemyselnej špionáže pre ZSSR. Sovietom mali poskytnúť informácie, ktoré im umožnili vyvinúť atómovú bombu[2]. Manželia Rosenbergovci boli jediní civilisti, ktorých v USA popravili počas Studenej vojny za špionáž.

When the Bolshevik Revolution of 1921 brought the communist party to power in Russia, the United States government did not recognize the new regime. The communist ideologies of the newly established state did not line up well with the democratic ideals of the United States. These new communist principles threatened the strength of the American system, as labor disputes and the Great Depression gave citizens reason to question capitalism’s effectiveness. The fear of this system grew as the world progressed through the twentieth century when the Soviet Union shifted from ally to enemy in all but a few years.

For techniques of detecting and "doubling" host nation intelligence personnel who betray their oaths to work on behalf of a foreign intelligence agency, see counterintelligence. The term spy refers to human agents that are recruited by intelligence officers of a foreign intelligence agency. The popular use of the term in the media is at variance with its use in a professional context. Spies are not intelligence officers. Spies are recruited by intelligence officers to betray their country and to engage in espionage in favor of a foreign power.
