Covert Contact - Live Streaming Social Media Intelligence - Jodan Widescreen Monitor

Jordan has some serious challenges ahead. It is struggling with growing internal unrest, dangerous radical elements, and conflict on its borders. All of this makes it worthy of a comprehensive widescreen monitor.

This monitor is tracking mentions of Jordan and Amman, discussions about the government and royal family, the Jordanian military and security forces, Jordanian intelligence, radical elements inside the country, issues related to Syria (both the government and rebels) and Iran, and incidents of violence and protest.

DIA to Greatly Expand HUMINT Role

Covert Contact - Live Streaming Social Media Intelligence - Defense Intelligence Agency

A significant, but not unexpected, realignment seems to be occurring within the US intelligence community:

The Pentagon will send hundreds of additional spies overseas as part of an ambitious plan to assemble an espionage network that rivals the CIA in size, U.S. officials said.

The project is aimed at transforming the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has been dominated for the past decade by the demands of two wars, into a spy service focused on emerging threats and more closely aligned with the CIA and elite military commando units.

When the expansion is complete, the DIA is expected to have as many as 1,600 “collectors” in positions around the world, an unprecedented total for an agency whose presence abroad numbered in the triple digits in recent years.

The Defense Intelligence Agency Monitor is capturing the reaction to this weekend’s story quite well with live streams for the DIA, the broader intelligence community, and the Defense Clandestine Service.

The US Intelligence Community Monitor is also tracking these developments. It features live streams covering the community, defense intelligence, and intelligence leaks.
