Intelligence?

Hot intelligence: [thanks to KTB Sharkhunters http://www.sharkhunters.com]

1. Increased Israeli [??] clandestine radio traffic directed at secret [??] agents.

"from a radio listening post in Europe":

"the station . . . which is generally acknowledged to be the MOSAD [Mossad]/Israeli Intelligence transmitter which transmits encrypted messages to Israeli agents in whatever part of the world they happen to be . . . As at Sunday 25th November last, there was a marked increase in the output of this station"

[this is a clandestine "numbers" station. Transmitter NOT identifying itself and broadcasting "encrypted" secret messages to agents in the field.]

2. "A Chinese warship dropped anchor off Tokyo Wednesday morning"

"it was the first visit by a Chinese warship to Japan since World War II. The guided missile destroyer SHENZHEN arrived at a time when Japan has growing worries about China's blossoming military strength."

"In an obvious slap in the face to the USA, a major ally of Japan, Chinese officials refused to allow the aircraft carrier USS KITTY HAWK and her battle group to enter the port of Hong Kong.

The Chinese - - in a surprise move - - will not allow the Kitty Hawk and her battle group to enter the port of Hong Kong - - for what was a preplanned visit, WHILE - - at the same time - - having one of their own ships make a good-will visit to Japan!!

A message of import is being sent here??

Consider that: [comments thanks to Harry, KTB Sharkhunters]

* "China spends in excess of $800 billion per year on weaponry" [??]

* "the Chinese and Russian military constantly work together in war games and military exercises"

* "China has recently taken delivery of her fourth SOVREMINNY Class destroyer"

* "how many KILO Class submarines from Russia"

* "while still building who knows submarines and warships of their own [China] design"

* "the US Navy is being cut back in submarines and pretty much all facets of military strength."

Now, why do all these intelligence failures occur?

Well, in his book "Intelligence and Guerilla Warfare", the Soviet General Orlov remarks about the testimony of U.S. General Mac Arthur at the hearings held by Congress in 1945 to investigate the Pearl Harbor disaster.

The specific question was asked of Mac Arthur as to why we [the U.S.], was not alert and were not warned about Pearl Harbor.

The General testified that, "why, information as to the place and time of such an attack would be a very closely guarded secret. Only a few people at the top would know the exact information. You would have to have someone on the inside providing you with all the details to know something like that [attack on Pearl]".

Bingo.

Orlov states that even the great Mac Arthur understands this simple fact. Have an insider who is working for you provide you with the information. This is the only way to know the exact details of what the enemy is planning for where and when. In intelligence circles this is called Humint [human intelligence]. Are informers and agents at the highest level easy to come by? NO! But can it be done? Yes!
