  • Cuban spies who pass secrets via shopping cart in a grocery store, a Taiwanese honey trap in DC, a Russian bugging device inside the State Department, classified information popping up in the media-scenes from a spy movie?
    No, these are just highlights from the most intriguing investigations conducted by retired State Department Special Agent Robert Booth and recounted in his new book State Department Counterintelligence: Leaks, Spies and Lies.
    Booth reveals the inside story of Kendall and Gwendolyn Myers who spied for Cuba for nearly 30 years and Donald Keyser who lied about his personal relationship with a female Taiwanese intelligence officer with whom he shared State Department information while serving as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. He’ll tell how Washington Post and Wall Street Journal articles concerning leaked State Department telegrams impacted diplomatic negotiations and how the Russian Intelligence Service, the SVR, installed a bug inside a conference room in the State Department. Booth personally managed or assisted in all these investigations, and he will offer guests insight into the courtroom proceedings for the Myers and Keyser prosecutions including background on court room machinations, prosecution tactics, and how the "plea bargains" were reached.

    Very neat and interesting speaker. As a former State Corrections Officer in a southern State I found his story dealing with a State CO in another jurisdiction finding classified documents in a metal cabinet interesting and humorous. Surprised that the CO actually talked to the media and appeared on television. In my State, an officer would probably be punished for talking to the press. My former department has dedicated personnel who are authorized to speak to the media. Furthermore, at our academy, the instructor tells the cadets not to give statements to the press. The instructor will cite reasons such as confidentiality and media manipulation.

    All these pre publication problems can be solved by a system utilizing AI scouring through public domain to establish and flag classified and unclassified information, probably in 3 categories like red, amber and green. To make it more secure a secondary human examination which will be much faster. Just a thought.

    Robert Booth's lecture is one of the Top 3 of all the Int'l Spy Museum's that are recorded; content, public speaking etc. . . .I look at the comments of the average American public; most, no doubt, ever served or could obtain a high level clearance. These speakers are patriots and of a pedigree the general public cannot fathom. If you have ever had job which involves you interacting with the American public; you know what I am speaking about ( crude, rude, uneducated, dishonorable, self interested and mostly, full of shit).

    • @phincampbell1886
      @phincampbell1886 Год назад +1

      Which are you, not an American, or not a member of the general public?? I'm guessing the latter, as you tell me you're able to assay the greater calibre of the public servants such as this lecture's speaker, which the general American public cannot, you assert.

    It seems the intelligence people are simple minded....I have watched many of these and that's my impression.....

      Your impression is meaningless and unimportant because you’re meaningless and unimportant. Intelligence personnel are infinitely more brilliant than a million of you combined could possibly be.

    In this talk he perfectly demostrarte through anecdotes the utter incompetence of our intelligence agencies despite the fact that they recruit from among the smartest people, mostly because of bureaucracy. I call this phenomenon "institutional stupidity".

    Regarding the attempted redactions, had Booth's notes/references in his book been sufficiently detailed as to his sources, then a whole lot of that discussion would have been unnecessary.
