Jimmy Carter’s presidency is often praised for its moral approach and diplomatic milestones, but a closer examination reveals a legacy of opportunism, mismanagement, and short-sighted policies. The Camp David Accords, while significant, overshadowed the contributions of other key players, meanwhile, his secret dealings during the Iranian Revolution, support for Islamist movements, and disastrous foreign policy decisions in Afghanistan compounded these issues.

This article will look at the ways in which SIGINT has been portrayed in those novels-how often, how accurately, and to what effect. It will also demonstrate that, while le Carre has often found it handy to use SIGINT as a plot device, he does not hold SIGINT or the other technical intelligence disciplines in particularly high regard. 

I had someone in my house yesterday leave a bag. The lights in the house were on, then they completely shut off and our router was reset - this happened twice. While this was happening something was buzzing in the bag at the exact moment the lights would go out and the router would reset. Could this be some kind of bug? The person whose bag it was was pretty far away at the time. Could it be a bug or something triggered remotely? Inside the bag was a Chipolo airtag, selfie stick with wired handles, and two selfie lights. Could the device be sneaked into those things?

Been listening to the NSA's No Such Podcast and was curious as to whether or not there are any other intel podcasts?

Any recommedations are appreciated!

Maybe a dumb question (give me a break, i’m 15 LOL.) , but does my university degree need to correlate with intelligence if i’m planning to go to the military (intelligence officer) & do paid education then work in intelligence (either csis or a private agency)

I could do Languages, Pol Sci, or International Relations— but i want a more flexible/versatile major. So, should I major in something more connected to intelligence or should I choose my own major?
