The "Intelligence" skills training within the Patriot and specifically the III communities is much worse than a bad joke - it is bordering on criminal and existential incompetence.
There is a reason "Army Intelligence" is a punch-line. Trying to incorporate bad doctrine, fundamentally premised on abundant taxpayer-provided resources and impractical, inefficient logistics, into the III Community is folly - dangerous fucking folly.
The primary missing component found in every modern 'graduate' of Huachuca I have met is common sense and experience in the real world (and Balls). "Real World" is that world in which taxpayers do not finance everything being posited and layers of bureaucracy do not serve as magic wands. Not to mention the subsequent byproduct of those 'experts' who lack basic skills - the 'analysis' presented that would be comical if not for the lives put at risk by any Patriot relying on such pablum.
I have advocated for many years that basic, blue-collar Intel work is what the III community must rely upon. I have waited patiently for someone, anyone, with experience to step up and take point to help III Patriots set up operationally efficient and proficient Intel Shops based on Old School common sense and proven techniques, free of the useless doctrinal, strategic and tactical modalities of "modern Intelligence Training".
I can't wait any longer. The level of Stupid being put forth to serious Patriots is intolerable. All the acronyms, buzzwords, fancy institutionalized bullshit is ensuring real Patriots never get a serious Intel Operation up and running. In my more cynical moments, I think that is the goal. In my more generous moments, I think they are just dumb as fuck-all.
My personal experience in such matters (yes, I have paid my bills using such skills during portions of my mis-spent youth, beyond merely my martial skillset) and the team I am assembling of serious professionals is going to begin working with III Teams in the near-future on the local, local, local level to help you set up real Intel Shops that have real capabilities. We will be doing this free. It is too important and time sensitive to do any other way. We'll focus to a degree on what some of us have done in our own respective AOs.
Just consider all the posts, columns, comments you have read and Intel Classes for which you have paid, with all of the elaborate schemes put forth to accomplish what is, at the most fundamental level, a simple f'n task: Incapacitating a piece of OpFor machinery. You've been told you need fancy widgets, comprehensive acronym-titled skills, detailed, mapped and over-analyzed minutia, and maybe heroic Sniper skills with a .50 BMG, a chemical degree and the thievery skills of a magical Elf to acquire all the chemicals you'll need in your secret bunker-lab, to accomplish a simple bit of mischief.
Yet with (essentially) crushed walnuts, a condom, and a set of Balls (Man Balls or the Lady variety), you can accomplish your goals.
The video above demonstrates the simple realities involved. If you and/or your Team has Balls, we can teach you the rest, based on personal, real-world experience.
We will do so.
Free.
You'll be reading more about "III OSS" during the summer. We've got the draft of the Field Manual nearing final form, and we'll make it available on Kindle and in dead-tree form. It is a step-by-step manual covering the full scope of running a potent Shop based on a tailored OSS Model. If you read about it anywhere else, you will know you are reading jacked material. ;)
Opera, non verba. That's what we do here. We have no time for circle-jerkers and people who only want to play at being Patriots, like some 3D role-playing game.
We'll announce more details soon. In the meantime, watch closely for how many "Experts" poo-poo this concept, and watch other "Professional Trainers" begin to adopt what you see here, in future blog and forum posts, and at whatever live events they manage to beg their way into. The number of "Trainers" worth your time and money is remarkably few in this community. I know 4.
Fuck. I hate the Stupid.
I have held since I was about 18 that the longer someone spends in college or at University, the dumber they get. The same holds for the "Specialists" in the world. They get so wrapped-up in their 'expertise' that reality becomes a distant notion. Humans are not meant to be 'Specialists' - not at the exclusion of basics. Ever met a brain surgeon who can change a flat tire? Cue your Heinlein.
More to follow.
Buy some walnuts.
Surround yourselves with Men (and women) who have Balls. That's all you need.
Fuck.

ReplyDeleteI run into them all the time, stupid fucking engineers who design shit on a computer that has no semblance of real world serviceability.
I thoroughly enjoy tearing them new assholes every time I meet one.
They no likey me when I am done.
This deal you are talking about upstairs interests me.
Something like this may help get hoods open if you don't have access to the interior

Ok I'll bite . What do walnuts filled with sugar and ping pong balls filled with lye have in common? How would you use sand mixed with axle grease? What does a nail , PVC pipe and a board make? How do you pass intell up the chain in an environment that prohibits radio/electronic COMMS? How do you build " capture cut outs" into a human intell. network , WITHOUT MODERN E- COMMS. and still move information rapidly? A lot of people think they want to play 007 , but know fuck all about trade craft. Commandos make lousy spy's.
ReplyDeleteLemme know. I can use it asap.
ReplyDeletePeople forget old school shit. As far as mraps go, I hear they are real top heavy, as in not much good on rough terrain or a purposely weakened road or bridge. Just sayin.....
ReplyDeleteso just condoms and ground walnuts? Anything else to add to the mixture for increased effectiveness? If the oil is not easily accessible, and it instead be added to the fuel tank?
ReplyDeleteGoogled Caccalube, but nothing relevant came up.
Sorry, I'm an idiot. Spelled it worng
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteA modern liquid version would be know as "water glass".(sodium silicate). Pour it in, run motor, upon shut off it hardens to a glass like surface on all moving parts. They will not move again. Promise......MTHead
ReplyDeleteWalnuts, condoms, and sand are a lot cheaper. That being said it looks like you can make sodium silicate at home using drain cleaner and a few other items commonly available.
DeleteI wonder how much is needed to for a HUMVEE or MRAP engine.
The oil can sometimes be difficult to get to quickly and quietly, but the fuel tank is often much more accessible. Does anyone have any recommendation on getting a similar effect through the fuel tank?
Delete90w in the fuel tank for a gas engine will lock the fuel pump up as it's not designed for such a viscous fluid. Also will clog the injectors.
Delete87 or 85 octane in a diesel will cause premature detonation and will hammer the hell out of the bottom end.
I'm pretty sure sodium silicate works in fuel also........MTHead
DeleteThis is what I use.
ReplyDelete"Precision Compounds Valve Grinding Compound One Ounce Jar. Contains Fine Grit Silicone and Lithium Grease. This is good stuff here folks. Great for doing valve jobs or porting and polishing a set of heads. This one ounce jar is enough for a few valve jobs and a couple of port and polish jobs. And even for just honing in on knife blades with a strop."
I'm interested also.
Next up in the,"FOF"; or Foes Oh Foot program. Would be simple tire popping. Not enough rubber plants left in the U.S. to keep support vechiles working. Nothing works without backup!.....Except for an AMP crew........MTHead
ReplyDeleteI would not recommend this on any military/commercial vehicle as it is very dangerous due to the high pressures these tires have to be to handle the heavy loads. I have seen people flung across a street trying this from the explosion. Any ways most MRAP type vehicles have kevlar side walls.
DeleteGood intel TD. I should have been more clear about support vechiles being the target. Standard fords & chevs.. Flank harassment type stuff. Nothing worse than coming out from lunch all fat, happy, and tyrantical to four flats! ........MTHead
DeleteNo problem MTH. :) The proper procedure for standard fords & chevs is to cut the valve stem with a set of dikes, let the tire deflate, then poke the sidewall. One hole will do it. Sidewalls cannot be repaired, ever.
DeleteThanks TD, Do you think an ice pick would work for both operations? can you patch that small a hole in a sidewall? Just thinking fast walk by type move.......MTHead
DeleteYeah, MTH an ice pick would work. I once took a cheap harbor freight #2 Phillips screwdriver and took it a grinding wheel and ground down the tip into a sharp, progressively fatter, tip. So for $1.00 or so, you can have your own commie deflater tool.
DeleteAny size hole in the sidewall is irreparable.
The old favourites work well and are easier to 'explain away' if you get pulled over:
ReplyDeleteSugar, Parafin Wax (candles), Napthalene (moth balls) all play merry hell with gasoline engines simply by pouring in the tank. They are good against diesels too.
Let's look at a specific case where one or more Danes torched the tax office motor pool:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-06-04/danes-are-revolting-tax-administration-set-fire
What's the most efficient way to pull that off? Assume the perp(s) didn't have all night and a bunch of molotovs are impractical. The pic at the link suggests the fires started up front. No futzing to get the hood open, etc. Thoughts?
Daniel
OK, I'll start. Pop a side window and toss in a safety flare? Would a lit flare rolled underneath do the job with less steps?
