https://dni.gov/index.php/what-we-do/what-is-intelligence
"The intelligence cycle is a process of collecting information and developing it into intelligence for use by IC customers. The steps in the process are direction, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination. IC products can either be based on a single type of collection or “all-source,” that is, based upon all available types of collection. IC products also can be produced by one IC element or coordinated with other IC elements, and delivered to IC customers in various formats, including papers, digital media, briefings, maps, graphics, videos, and other distribution methods."
SIGINT — Signals intelligence is derived from signal intercepts comprising -- however transmitted -- either individually or in combination: all communications intelligence (COMINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT) and foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT). The National Security Agency is responsible for collecting, processing, and reporting SIGINT. The National SIGINT Committee within NSA advises the Director, NSA, and the DNI on SIGINT policy issues and manages the SIGINT requirements system.
IMINT — Imagery Intelligence includes representations of objects reproduced electronically or by optical means on film, electronic display devices, or other media. Imagery can be derived from visual photography, radar sensors, and electro-optics. NGA is the manager for all imagery intelligence activities, both classified and unclassified, within the government, including requirements, collection, processing, exploitation, dissemination, archiving, and retrieval.
MASINT — Measurement and Signature Intelligence is information produced by quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical attributes of targets and events to characterize, locate, and identify them. MASINT exploits a variety of phenomenologies, from a variety of sensors and platforms, to support signature development and analysis, to perform technical analysis, and to detect, characterize, locate and identify targets and events. MASINT is derived from specialized, technically-derived measurements of physical phenomenon intrinsic to an object or event and it includes the use of quantitative signatures to interpret the data. The Director of DIA is both the “Intelligence Community Functional Manager for MASINT” and the “DOD MASINT Manager.” The National MASINT Office (NMO) manages and executes MASINT services of common concern and related activities for the D/DIA in response to National and Department of Defense requirements. If interested in learning more about MASINT, check out the NMO's primer here.
HUMINT — Human intelligence is derived from human sources. To the public, HUMINT remains synonymous with espionage and clandestine activities; however, most of HUMINT collection is performed by overt collectors such as strategic debriefers and military attaches. It is the oldest method for collecting information, and until the technical revolution of the mid- to late 20th century, it was the primary source of intelligence.
OSINT — Open-Source Intelligence is publicly available information appearing in print or electronic form including radio, television, newspapers, journals, the Internet, commercial databases, and videos, graphics, and drawings. While open-source collection responsibilities are broadly distributed through the IC, the major collectors are the DNI's Open Source Center (OSC) and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).
GEOINT — Geospatial Intelligence is the analysis and visual representation of security related activities on the earth. It is produced through an integration of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information.

Telegram
https://whonix.org/wiki/Telegram
"Beware of impersonators (carefully check out Telegram bio as the scammer may insert any nickname to his bio and leave his own nickname blank), fake notifications about logging into Telegram (check out them carefully, they should come into the official telegram news & tips channel) with a phishing link, fake bots (yep, bots - not user accounts - may DM first) and so on."
"NONE of the telegram chats are E2E encrypted not 1:1, not groups - only TLS. Only the secret chat one iirc!"
-
Phone Number → Who can see my phone number — Nobody.
-
Data and Storage → Auto Download Media → Toggle off
-
Phone Number → Who can find me by my number — My Contacts.
-
Last Seen & Online → Who can see my timestamp — Nobody.
-
Profile photo → Who can see my profile photo — My Contacts.
-
Calls → Who can call me — My Contacts (or Nobody, if you prefer).
-
Calls→ Peer-to-peer — My contacts (or Nobody, if you prefer not to share your IP address with chat partners).
-
When you start the call, you will see four emojis at the top right corner - ask the person you are calling to name them and compare them to yours (they should be the same as yours). This is protection from MitM.
-
Forwarded Messages → Who can add a link to my account when forwarding my messages — My Contacts.
-
Never add contacts to Telegram (if there are any - erase them), and always use VPN.
-
Groups & Channels → Who can add me — My Contacts.
-
Set up a 2FA (cloud password)!
-
Disable sticker loop animation! Animated Stickers = danger.
-
Disable auto-downloading (both wi-fi and cellular): Privacy & Security → Data Settings !
-
Disable P2P calls for everyone as it may expose your IP! Same with secret chats! End-to-End encryption means thats your IP will become known the person you’re chatting with. And vice versa.
-
Disable link & image previews in secret chats, scroll down in a Privacy and Security section!
-
Never activate (via /start) any telegram bot! Do not even touch telegram bots (only public chat bots are considered safe, you can operate them in a public chat via commands), never DM a Telegram bot! (any button can contain a SQLi vulnerability or even worse)!
-
If you have to open PDF (CV for example), use dangerzone.rocks or google drive preview regime (ask to upload)!
-
Watch out active session! Terminate inactive sessions! Watch out session stealers!
-
If you receive a message about logging into your account - check that it is on a legitimate telegram notification & news channel. Scammers can impersonate this notification channel to force you to give them the OTR code from the SMS.
Discord
-
Use a randomly generated password. Grab a password generator like BitWarden and use it to generate and store your passwords. It’s 2021. You can’t afford to use lame passwords stored in .txt files on your computer, especially when your crypto is at risk. Be smart and sleep better at night.
-
Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) in Discord. You can find this setting in User Settings on Discord. Discord allows you to use Aegis, Authy (disable multi-device for a better OpSec) or other methods.
-
Configure privacy settings, which you can find in Privacy & Safety under User Settings. Choose whether you want to allow direct messages from server members or not. It’s up to you. Note, however, that if you have DMs turned off, then if you join a server with a Captcha or Verification bot that authenticates you via DM, you may not be able to use it. Check the server information to see if open DMs are required for that server.
-
In Privacy & Safety, select who can add you as a friend. If you’re extra paranoid, you can prevent anyone from adding you as a friend, or you can allow it just for members of the same server.
-
Run a VPN! Or rent a VPS and bootstrap an open-source VPN server!
Judging from the original tweet, the story goes like this:
-
A scammer picks a target — our victim — who has a presence on a Discord channel.
-
The scammer creates a fake user on the channel impersonating the target.
-
He then starts spamming, scamming or trash-talking in the channel with an intent to get banned.
-
Discord channel moderators see the mayhem and work to ban this account. Our scammer had skillfully used some known Discord Nitro tricks to manipulate his account user nickname. This way, the channel moderators are fooled into banning the account of the target (and, possibly, the account of the scammer).
-
After seeing that the target is banned, the scammer creates a manipulated image of a fake discussion among the Discord channel’s team members about the target’s ban.
-
Then, impersonating the channel’s moderator, the scammer reaches out to the target via a DM. The target is surprised that he/she has been banned and starts to uncritically accept the words of the scammer who appears to offer help.
-
The scammer fakes urgency insisting that the situation needs to be remedied right now. He asks the target to prove innocence and to come on a Discord call.
-
The scammer convinces the target to share the Discord Web UI computer screen and instructs the target to open Discord Developer Tools and reveal the Discord token. This token can be used to take full control of the account (without the password, and bypassing the Two Factor Authentication).
-
All this fancy manipulation leads to the scammer gaining full control of the target’s Discord account — he can now cause damage to the victim or the victim’s company.

Trickery and Deception
There are many ways to circumvent the Law, in general, techniques involve coercion/power (intimidation, blackmailing, torture etc) and fraud/deception (deviation of purpose, "fortuitous meeting of evidence", manipulation of behavior, informal agreements, clandestinity, use of hidden means, paid informants, blackmailed informants, use of uninvolved third parties etc). In short, “all possible means”, as Machiavelli thought or Bentham thought.
If you are smart, knowing this techniques are implemented, you can use your acting skills like politicians do, you would be an "undercover agent of yourself" or do personal marketing.
*DNA-generated estimation and voice analysis would deserve further study.
• Interrogation: build rapport or offers an advantage to see if you to produce evidence against yourself,(e.g. talks about mild subjects, like dogs and cats; says "nothing will happen if..." to obtain an informal confession).
• Interrogation: intimidation or blackmailing tactics, to pressures you to produce evidence against yourself (e.g. says that "you don't want to collaborate").
• Interrogation: left you alone and your friend with a secret recording device (e.g. while you are at the police station giving a statement).
• Evidence laundry: evidence obtained through torture, evidence obtained through backdoors in computer systems etc. The judge in the case is the cuckold of the story.
• Evidence laundry: put GPS in your vehicle (GSM Chip, Apple AirTag etc).
• Evidence laundry: uses trakers or spywares (e. g. FirstMile, IMSI Cachers, Drones, Wong Sun case etc).
• Evidence laundry: unlawfull covert agent (e. g. fake cellmate, informer cellmate).
• Evidence laundry: use facial regonition cammeras spread in the city, in CCTV or in public transport.
• Evidence bias: having possession of the evidence helps you have control of the narrative (evidence out of context).
• Human sources exploitation: forces your lawyer/doctor/priest/relatives with the right to refuse testimony to violate ethical confidentiality.
• Human sources manipulation:conversation mediated by a covert agent in which there is a provocation that leads to self-incrimination.
• Human sources manipulation: event or accident simulation so that the target leaves a safe place or to find the connection of the others evidences.
• Human sources manipulation: acting as an agent provocateur (“baits”).
• Human sources manipulation: acting to manipulate the target's behavior so that it is further harmed or rather than to prevent harm to the victim.
• Human sources manipulation: acting to manipulate third-party opinions about the target (e.g. manipulating Google searches to highlight only negative points, manipulation of evidence out of context).
General - ARTT’s Psychological Manipulation Tactics
- Tapping into our natural bias to find connections by using conspiratorial reasoning
- Deliberately encouraging a response using “bait” by intentional trolling
- Gaining access to a trusted community by impersonation
- Manufacturing doubt by distorting the scientific consensus
- Evoking emotion and encouraging to think with feelings instead of reason
- Utilizing polarization to create or expand a gap between two groups
- Discrediting the opponent instead of addressing the argument
Decomposition Techniques (by Stasi)
"Systematic discrediting of public reputation, the reputation and prestige on the basis interconnected true, verifiable, and discrediting, and false, credible, non-rebuttable, and thus also discrediting
information, systematic organization of professional and societal failures to undermine the confidence of individuals, generating [...] Doubt the personal perspective, creating mistrust and mutual suspicion within groups [...]; local and temporal. Prevent or limit the mutual relations of the members of a group [...] [...] for example, by assigning locals to remote jobs"

• "We Need More Copwatchers, Not Cops With Cameras" - https://wecopwatch.org
• Having possession of the evidence helps you have control of the narrative.
• Your evidence loses power when you broadcast it live and allow the police to write their use of force reports around your video. Film the Police for the Victim.
• We suggest that you let the officers get their story together publicly. Your video will contradict their testimony, and it is here that you have the power to helpful.
Search Warrants
• Any trace will authorize a search warrant. This also authorizes a fishing expedition probatory.
• A minor offense to a major one, Al Capone was caught because of income tax.
• Law enforcment will violate the law in order to catch you (with or without a search warrant). Judges are afraid of annulling all evidence and are afraid of pressure from the media.
• Judges also do not have functional independence and fear actions from internal affairs bodies. Oppressive power networks limit decision-making, they are made to maintain the status quo.
Documents
• With less utility, you can easily use RegEx patterns.
• At onion hidden services (this is probably scam, check the seller's reputation).
• Consult your friends, criminal lawyers probably know where to find things.
• Depending on the country or state of the federation you are in, there are documents that are easier to find.

Considerations
• "Nothing is political, everything is politicizable".
• UN doesn't work as well as the Supreme Court.
• The technical apparatuses for "social control" that a "democratic" government can use for legitimate purposes are easily co-opted by "authoritarian" efforts and practices for the political persecution of "detractors" or "dissenters". Could it be that after taking over the technical or power apparatus for "social control" there would be a point of no return? Would it be like the thesis of mutual destruction of atomic power?
• Marginalized sectors cannot attack each other, exploit each other, but terrorize the powerful, the owners of state institutions, of "order"/control.
• To marginalized sectors reduce the use of violence, it is necessary to modify the economic model to a certain extent.
• To be one step ahead, only with a lot of money or military (power) from the state. Resistance will always be asymmetric. People in high positions do not want to lose the benefits of belonging to the system.
• As a rule, groups are stronger than individuals. However, there are dissidents in high positions. People in high positions do not want to lose the benefits of belonging to the system, they are entangled in the web of power.
• Organic intellectuality, institutions, economic groups and religiuous groups.
• Criminology concepts, policy of "zero tolerance", "war on drugs/terrorism", "enemy".
• Analysis of fallacious speeches.
• Colonialist and neo-colonialist objectives, ‘unquestionable inferiority’, Christian message, degree of ‘civilisation’, biologically inferior.
Brainstorm
• Analysis of fallacious speeches justified on the basis of high moral values/democracy/terrorism/fear.
• It is necessary to create a form of political innovation, political creation and political experimentation outside the large political parties, and outside the normal or common program. Is it possible to do politics without being a politician? Is revolution desirable? By whom? Is he who rebels right?
• Basic strategic ambiguity/mimicry, copy the oppressor's speech.
• To be critical is to pose questions of the government of conduct, principles, objectives and methods using the available political resources and repertoire furnished by government itself, a kind of refractory turning of government against itself from within the discursive and political field of possibilities opened up by government.
• To resist or destabilise government from an immanent vantage point and thus seeks to open "governmental" arrangement to new creative possibilities. To produce something that doesn’t exist yet -- without being able to know what it will be.
• BUT force/power decides between equal rights. The projects that seek to gain political traction collapes themselves into the idiom of the "human rights".
• Three types of social struggles: those that confront forms of domination (ethnic, social and religious); those that contest the forms of exploitation that separate individuals from what they produce; and the struggles against subjection, against forms of subjectivation and submission, which face everything that connects the individual to himself and subjects him to others.
• We need to facilitate the conditions of power to create a society organized in defense of its rights.
• Gradually shift the limit of social exclusion, increasing the power of excluded agents (minorities) by creating marginal spaces in which they can articulate themselves.
• Analysis of forms of resistance by dominated groups using means that do not disturb their internal unity.
• Deconstruct Carl Schmitt, deconstruct the image of the enemy. Deconstruct the concrete tangible characteristics that make it a suitable target for hatred and struggle. Nothing is political, everything is politicizable !
• Voter-oriented policies based on "governing by fear of crime".
• Crime is fundamental, as it is the nucleus through which the process of panoptization of society and, therefore, the exercise of power/control by the government becomes possible. The feeling of “threat” must be constant so that control can be exercised to “combat” such delinquency.
• Crime is also based on capitalism, the "war on drugs" fuels a market for weapons, vehicles, cameras, personnel.
• We the people have a legitimate interest in preserving our ability to investigate and prosecute the distribution of government hacking tools that creates the market and fuels the demand for creating more panoptization and manipulating society (surveillance capitalism, technocolonilism, technofeudalism). The government's investigative efforts would be severely hampered if a copy of hacking tools got into the wrong hands.
• "The existence of rights against the Government would be jeopardized if the Government were able to defeat such a right by appealing to the right of a democratic majority to work its will. A right against the Government must be a right to do something even when the majority thinks it would be wrong to do it, and when the majority would be worse off for having it done. If we now say that society has a right to do whatever is in the general benefit, or the right to preserve whatever sort of environment the majority wishes to live in, and we mean that these are the sort of rights that provide justification for overruling any rights against the Government that may conflict, then we have annihilated the later rights." (Ronald Dworkin, Taking Rights Seriously)
• Pressure points
-
Public: Legislative, Judiciary, Media, Private sector
-
Private: sneak law (calculated law), sneak jurisprudence (judicial activism), veiled propaganda (media, hybrid memes), creative narratives
-
Private individual: disruptive technology (cryptocurrency and blockchain), deterrence power (3d making, ghost guns, drones), cryptography (vpn, onion, tails..), direct action (leakage)
• Law
-
Preventive police laws are particularly suited to dealing with the prevention of future dangers.
-
Intelligence law was developed as an early warning system against special dangers to the state.
-
Laws of war: deal with exceptional threats by serious armed attacks. "Wars" on terror, on drugs, on organized crime, cyberwars.
- Moral panic – Fear that some evil threatens society
- Obscurantism – Practice of obscuring information
- Swiftboating – Political jargon for a particular form of character assassination as a smear tactic
- Push polling – Use of polling to spread misinformation
- Negotiation and association
- Tenders with the companies themselves
- Enticement of the media and state (secret) agents
- Using the system for your own benefit
- Offering positions and promotions
- Tailor-made laws or omission
- Whistleblowers
- Discrediting tactic – Effort to damage someone's reputation

- FUD - Fear, uncertainty and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a manipulative propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information, and is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt
- The “demonization” of the delinquent’s image – the construction of the enemy’s identity generates the great production of terror discourse around crime, whether in the journalistic media or in police programs favoring social control mechanisms.

• We need to participate in political-criminal discourse. We need to educate ourselves philosophically to identify what is political and what is political abuse. But pure theory is not enough, we need to verify the practical consequences of theories.
