Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

As a cultural exchange and in the traditions of the Jewish Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we ask for forgiveness and atonement for our sins committed against God, others and things that are beyond our understanding in the name of religion, spiritual ideologies, ignorance, fears, questionable practices, political agendas or personal views. Our tradition tells us that if one sins we should act like we all have sinned by using we instead of I. We should ask for forgiveness and apologize for anything that annoyed others. Finally, We hope that we are forgiven and blessed. Let us begin.

 

We apologize for anything we have done, not done or said over the years that may offended you, confused you, hurt you, forced you to hide the truth, prevented you from properly helping and suppressed you from addressing physical, mental and spiritual issues.

We ask God to free us from physical, mental, financial and spiritual bondage, slavery, ignorance, weaknesses, misplaced guilt and fears that one may have lived through.

We ask God to free us from the hatred, the loathing, the name-calling, the helplessness and the confusion that we feel against religions, politics, individuals, spiritual entities or any organizations that suppresses our true nature, our connection with God and causes us to sin.

We ask God to make us more compassionate, healthier and stronger so we can help others to build a productive life and heal our nation.

We ask God to protect us, guide us and surround us with the light.

We are sorry for the sins committed against others, the disturbances that forced us to act and the extra work that resulted.

We are sorry for any physical, mental, financial and spiritual transgressions that exploded over the years. We were confused, scared, wounded and traumatized due to the physical, mental, financial and spiritual hostilities that surrounded us. Thank you for helping others to the best of your ability. With your patience, special actions, prayers and multi-dimensional connections, we have somewhat stabilized the environment.

We are so sorry.

 

As for the Counterintelligence briefings, It was a necessary evil to bring spiritual awareness, extra support and special attention to shadowy issues in the community. For that, we are sorry.

 

Dear God, protect and heal our leaders, our nation and our citizens physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. Give us supportive friends, fill us up with humor, provide us with an honest living and help us grow in a healthy way. We are sorry for everything. Because of who we are and who we are becoming, trouble engulfs us. Only through you, we can be saved.

 

I am sorry. We need your help. Amen.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

Shape and Mold Me, But Do It with Integrity

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

Due to the unemployment uprising, let us take this opportunity to discuss the illusion of grandeur, delusions and deceptive practices in recruiting and things that an employer does not what to hear. With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can create a culture that builds you up and not tear you down because it is entertaining.

 

Why do we tell staff to find people with excellent verbal, written, social and professional skills? Due to the coercion, people will overstate their skills in a deluding and artful way. No one can be perfect day to day. We are not living in reality. Sometimes, I am just clueless to things I can do, not do and the undiscovered gifts that I possess.

 

People need to be trained, shaped, molded and done with integrity. Do not force me to lie, cheat, steal, con, defraud others and act as a criminal to get ahead. Personally, I have above average skills but I also know that I have shortcomings that may surface depending upon the physical, mental and spiritual environment of the person whom I am engaging. I found that acquiring advance skills is a life long process, no one is perfect and things go awry. That is reality. So, let us check our moral compass from time to time.

 

Let us investigate ways to improve protocols when seeking out people. People with special self-esteem issues may surprisingly outperform our best and brightest people. We can examine, evaluate and investigate the recruit without subjugating a person to overstate their qualifications. With proper management skills, we can teach a person to fit into the culture and succeed. With bad management, we can destroy careers and ruin lives in the process.

 

We hire people to solve our problems, but then we find ways to screw people over instead of lending a helping hand. Due to management deficiencies, we improperly manage, support or train people. We say stuff unjustly like "You are a failure". We violate ethical teachings and we expect others to follow blindly. I have seen people with impressive backgrounds only to fall short of everyone’s unrealistic expectations.

 

Dear prospective employer and community, I am not perfect, I do not have excellent verbal, written, social and professional skills, I do not know everything but I am good at what I do. I will fail at some point only to achieve success in other things. If you want me as part of your team with all of my physical, mental, financial and spiritual disabilities and delusions, give me a fair chance to prove myself and treat me with respect. I will surprise you.

 

With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can recognize facts from fiction. So when undue influences degrade you unjustly without proper facts and evidence, we can tell them they are full of it while we network with law enforcement, lawyers and mental health experts for protection against physical, mental, financial and spiritual mistreatment.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

So You Think You Are In Trouble

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

So you think you are in trouble. What do you do? Law enforcement tells us that we should report all suspicious activities. Lawyers tell us that we should not talk to the police or anyone without an attorney. Criminals tell us to keep your mouth shut or else. Media rendering of law enforcement threatens people. Psychiatrists are pushing prescription drugs to solve all your problems in the first half-hour. Religious groups tell us if you walk with us, you will be saved.

 

When you approach people with a problem, satanic things are happening that makes you feel scared, confused and unwanted. They use questionable verbiage like what do you want us to do about it? Go see a mental health professional, get a lawyer, do drugs, it is not my jurisdiction or ask me if I give a Blank. There are shadowy games in our community that interferes with crime and violence prevention. How do you report suspicious physical, mental and spiritual activities and community weirdness without being victimized, re-victimized or targeted?

 

We are going to need a Critical Incident Stress Management team before approaching anyone. The team would offer psychological protection for reporting suspicious activities in a way that would prevent trauma when people are insensitive, shadowy, verbally abusive, ignorant, stressed, informing (snitching) and silent due to legal risks. Hopefully, we can eliminate the need to ask for federal protection when we approach citizens on complex and unusual issues.

 

Crisis Intervention is a physical, mental and spiritual first aid that uses special methods to help the individual. George S. Everly’s and Jeffrey T. Mitchell’s CISM goals are to stabilize the situation, acknowledged the crisis, facilitate understanding, encourage adaptive coping and restore independence. After the intervention, psychotherapy may be required to encourage communications to aid in personal growth, behavioral change and healing, if done correctly.

 

The process for reporting suspicious activities can leave you with a bitter taste. It can be traumatic, dangerous, stressful, incomplete and uneventful. Undue influences can create physical, mental, financial and spiritual chaos in your environment that can cause poor and incoherent communications. So, after talking with our circle of friends, we can have a CISM specialist and psychotherapist to defuse the situation. After all, we want to create a community where citizens feel comfortable coming to us for advice, help, support and sharing intelligence, even if it is alien. We also must prevent citizens from transferring their issues on the person asking for help. We need to make sure that any communications such as e-mails, letters, phone calls, public speaking and physical contact is not perceived as a criminal act or a reason to violate rights. Let us create safeguards to prevent such problems. Funding may prove difficult.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

How to Influence People and Win Friends

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

For some reason, we live in a world where friendships, business dealings and relationships can be quite challenging. Things seemed to break down. You find yourself: alone, talking with law enforcement, behind bars, target of a probe, visiting a mental health specialist or encountering weird undercurrents. You just do not understand why or what is happening in your community? With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can make sure our friends are physically, mentally, spiritually and financially healthy for us. From the book, How to Win friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, here are some guidelines.

 

Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Give honest appreciation. Arouse desire and develop a sincere interest in others. Be a Good Listener. Smile. Encourage individuals to talk about themselves. Honestly, make the person feel important.

 

For leading, managing and changing people’s attitude and behavior without creating chaos: Indirectly, call attention to people's mistakes. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Let the other person keep their integrity. Praise small and all improvements. Make any mistake seem easy to correct. Make the other person glad that they did your suggestions.

 

For persuading people to think like you, here are some tricks. Start in a friendly way. The best way to win an argument is to avoid it. Show respect for the other's opinion. Never say you are wrong. Let the other person do the talking. Allow the person to believe that the idea is theirs. Appeal to their goodness. Dramatize your ideas.

 

Finally, let me share my personal thoughts. Guard your tongue against evil and your lips from speaking guile. Be yourself. Always improve yourself and strive for success in a healthy way. When you have done everything in your power to create a healthy relationship and things seems to go awry, listen to God. Leave everything in God’s hands. Ask God to send you healthy friends. Request law enforcement and community backup when you find yourself alone, abandoned and threatened physically, mentally, spiritually or financially for reasons unclear. God and his spiritual task force may have other plans for you, your friends and related activities. Finally, when time is short and all else fails, forget the nonsense, give orders and take control of the situation because the negotiation is over.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

Association of Former Intelligence Officers

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

We live in a society full of political turmoil, criminal activities, legal games, religious battles, spiritual abuses, mental health violence, military stresses and dangerous undercurrents that threaten to undermine the sanctity and sanity of the United States and its citizens. Through Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can look for organizations that can protect our physical, mental, financial and spiritual health in ways that can fight the deterioration of our society.

 

Today, I would like to talk to you about Association of Former Intelligence Officers, also known as AFIO. AFIO is a non-profit, non-political tax-exempt educational association, incorporated in Virginia in 1975. AFIO focus is on educating and fostering understanding of the importance of U.S. Intelligence in historic, current and future matters. AFIO consist of distinguished and ordinary people, inside and outside of government, who have participated in historic events, leadership roles and other things. AFIO promotes community outreach, prepares programs, produces publications, conducts conferences and provides media support, networking and mentoring that focuses on Intelligence, counterintelligence, security issues and other related events.

 

AFIO offers a body of knowledge and resources that allows an individual to build protective layer of Intelligence and counterintelligence to balance public, private, criminal, religious, military and media discourse on numerous physical, mental, financial and spiritual subjects. AFIO promotes values of patriotism, excellence, integrity, dedication and loyalty towards the advancement and defense of vital interest and security of the country, its citizens and its allies. It also engages intellectual, political, business and community leaders and the general public by sharing information about intelligence related to current affairs, security issues, potential threats and shadowy undercurrents. More information can be found at www.afio.com or contact me. 

 

As with all organizations, an individual may encounter creative executive, organizational, management, personnel, financial and security problems that may cause discourse among the organizational body and its members. With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can all explore AFIO as well as other organizations in a safe and secure way physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. AFIO offers an excellent way of preserving our freedoms, protecting us from unhealthy influences and educating us in ways that provides balance in our lives as well as our community. We can learn many lessons from AFIO so we can become better citizens and a healthier community.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

Personal Bill of Rights by Anonymous

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

With the ongoing physical, mental, spiritual and financial violence in the world, I wanted to present an adapted version of Personal Bill of Rights that was created by a brave anonymous individual who probably embraced life, but ended up in a life-threatening situation. No one should be mistreated physically, emotionally, financially or spiritually. Here are important thoughts that we should incorporate into our daily lives.

 

Life should have choices beyond survival mode. No one should have to live in a hostile, oppressed and threatening environment. 

You have the right to say "No" if you are feeling unsafe or insecure.

You have the right to take care of yourself first, defend yourself and make decisions for yourself.

Life should be motivated by God, love, fun, courage and happiness; not by fears, shadowy practices, illusions or threats of any kind.

You have the right to express your emotional and spiritual thoughts, needs and wants.

No one should ever be subjected to spiritual or psychological games, unrealistic negativity, misplaced guilt or other forms of abuse.

You are free to make mistakes, to learn, to change and to grow without feeling threatened, inadequate, harassed, embarrassed and/or vulnerable.

You have the right to be yourself without legal and mental health threats.

You have the right to terminate any conversation that becomes overwhelming, threatening, psychologically abusive or spiritually harmful.

You have the right to be successful and better than those around you. In other words, achieving physical, mental, spiritual and financial health should be top priority.

It is okay to set limits, reward oneself and be selfish.

Being irate at someone you love is okay as long as it remains within healthy limits.

When you are emotionally upset, there is no need to smile. A good friend will understand.

You have the right to ask questions free from physical, mental and spiritual intimidation.

You have the right to treat others with love, courtesy, sensitivity, respect and dignity.

You have the right to embrace your own spirituality and pray to God of your choice.

You have the right to prevent crime and violence of any kind in any form.

It is okay to be relaxed, playful and fun.

 

Finally, No one has the right to deprive any person of life, liberty, or property through physical, mental, financial and spiritual coercion without due process of law or equal protection of the laws. You have a right to take a course of action in a healthy socially accepted way to preserve your physical, mental, financial and spiritual well being.

Public Speaking Intelligence

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

I used to be a person who had difficulty speaking (still do). I was shy, awkward, verbally challenged and fearful of people (still am). I had many physical, mental and spiritual voices trying to influence me (still do). It has always been hard for me to communicate, speak freely or without thinking. As a youth in the seventies, I participated in speech therapy programs including a West Chester University summer program where an aspiring young math teacher magically helped me to speak better.

 

Eventually as an adult, I would become a member of Toastmasters, a non-profit organization that teaches leadership, communication and organizational skills for those individuals who want to improve themselves. The program teaches the importance of public speaking, speech preparation, body language, a good speaking voice, word selection, quality information, inspiration and public relations. It made me a better speaker and a better person.

 

Due to my physical, mental, social and spiritual disabilities, I prefer to prepare a speech before hand so I avoid giving a presentation full of fragments, disjointed thoughts and verbal mistakes caused by unseen physical, mental and spiritual influences. As a result of my planning, I hope that my presentations are understood and well liked.

 

For those who utilize different speaking styles and formats, I realize that a person may need to address issues without preparation. I admire all speakers who have the courage to speak up any way they can. Everyone should be treated with respect, heard with sincerity and treated equally. The Commissioners accomplish the above tasks brilliantly. The Commissioners & Sunshine meetings are designed to allow people to address real concerns and allow organizational transparency.

 

Since we are broadcasting the meetings, I thought it would be fun to discuss public speaking. Here is a fun fact: When giving a speech it is important to include a strong opening, a coherent body and a skillful conclusion. The Toastmasters club is a great resource to develop leaderships and communication skills while fostering self-confidence and personal growth in a supportive environment. I urge everyone to read books, search the internet or participate in public speaking programs so we make a good impression to our constituents. Do not be afraid to express yourself or improve upon your skills.

Dangerous Propaganda

 

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

 

I am Alan Scott, a citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

 

Due to the political, media and public attacks, I am concern with the witch hunts, communism, socialism and fascism hysteria that is happening in our communities. The Declaration of the Independence and the United States Constitution protects our rights and preserves our country from such things. There are groups who are using reckless talk, hateful speech and questionable methods to create a hostile environment against people with different views, political backgrounds, religious practices, law enforcement slants and beliefs. They use shadowy words like socialism, communism and Anti-Americanism to describe the current affairs of the nation and its people unfairly.

 

It brings me back to the horrible memories of civil rights abuses and beyond. As I grew up in Chester County, academia taught me that McCarthyism created a world of hate to discredit unwanted people and the Salem Witch-Hunts attacked innocent people due to religious and political madness. Also, they taught that the American Indians were vilified due to abusive propaganda, that Jews were discriminated against by elitist, that Afro-Americans suffered great hardships at the hands of narrow-minded people and finally, that the Vietnam Vets were treated as enemies as they returned home. Never again should we follow the crowd and allow such things to happen.

 

Why is this rhetoric rearing its ugly head? Is it a physical, mental, financial or spiritual form of subtle discrimination against undesirables?

 

As a Chester County Citizen, I am fearful that such dangerous dialogue may lead us down a shadowy road that threatens our physical, mental, financial and spiritual freedoms in our community.

 

I was always raised to speak the truth, treat people with respect, find solutions, lead by example, avoid false accusations and help others to the best of our abilities. We should act responsibly and support each other in a civilized manner. We should just agree to disagree.

 

We live in a world of ignorance, wickedness, fear, criminality, misguidance, questionable practices, bias and hatred that can create a hostile environment towards sex, race, color, beliefs, ethnicity, occupations, ancestry, spirituality, mental health and disabilities. We need to prevent dangerous political propaganda, media attacks and public abuses from spreading. We need to stop any form of physical, mental, financial and spiritual terrorism. We must protect our rights and request backup when needed. I am seriously concerned with the reckless campaigning against voters. Now is the time to speak out against such atrocities.

Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention

Community Outreach

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

I am Alan Scott, an ordinary citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

When you find yourself in a compromising position, forced into unknown situations, attacked from the right and the left, attacked from above and below, surrounded by dangerous undercurrents, stuck and alone in everything you do. It is time to use the community outreach programs to its fullest. With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can make sure that the community outreach programs operate with honor and integrity while providing proper support, avenues and information in a physically, mentally, financially and spiritually challenged environment.

The community outreach programs are designed to share information, network, mentor and provide help to anyone that requires special attention. Community outreach may assist others when your community turns against you, assistance is fleeting, criminal activity is out of control and people are afraid to speak up and act in a responsible way. Outreach programs work closely with federal, state and local governments, academic institutions and the business community to connect people and heal old wounds.

Each entity offers their own interpretation to the meaning of outreach and brand of justice. The FBI, NSA, CIA, Homeland Security and Justice Department are various government agencies that offer community outreach at all levels of service and non-service. If a person does not like government involvement, there are local entities that offer non-governmental outreach with their own missions and objectives. If they like you and you are not a threat to their well being, they may provide proper support.

If you are scared to death, your health is threatened and employment outlook seems bad due to your encounter with the unknown, then find the outreach program that best addresses your needs. If you have made political, social, criminal and religious enemies along the way and the world seems against you, please contact the ones that can work closely with you.

Please remember. There is nothing wrong in reaching out to these agencies, organizations or people. There are entities that use stalking and harassment, mental health, law enforcement, and media threats to prevent people from contacting (bothering) agencies or people with written or verbal communications. Other tools of the trade include blowing people off, silence, dumping it on somebody else’s doorstep, providing unhelpful mentoring, questionable assistance or following orders of the powers to be. With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can avoid becoming traumatized by unjustified hostile reactions from networking, approaching people and communicating with others, physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. My favorite outreach resources are the FBI, NSA and Chester County Courthouse.  They offer a body of community knowledge that can build confidence in a person and ones surroundings. Let us take collective responsibility for our community actions.

Shalom TV

Commissioners, Citizens and Media:

I am Alan Scott. I am an ordinary citizen engaged in Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention.

Being influenced by many amazing cultures over the years, I wanted to broaden my community’s social horizons. With Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention, we can safely explore other cultures that we would normally overlook.

Recently, I discovered a program on Comcast Cable On Demand called Shalom TV. It is the first American TV national Jewish Cable Network covering the entire spectrum of Jewish Culture. It is independent of any specific Jewish movement or organization. Their programs explain the meaning of being Jewish, the importance of the Torah and Jewish Identity. It also discusses political, theological, ethical and social issues in the Jewish Community as well as the Non-Jewish Community. It helps reveal the proper truths in Judaism.

Shalom TV is a company operated by individuals committed to Jewish life, the State of Israel, and the future of the Jewish people. The network's president and CEO, Rabbi Mark S. Golub, has been involved in Jewish media for 40 years and successfully created the first Russian-language channel for Jews from the former Soviet Union. The website can be found at: http://www.shalomtv.org/

After my unique exposure to Christianity, Judaism, Anti-Semitism, Spirituality, media slants and unusual community activities, I found Shalom TV to be refreshing physically, mentally and spiritually.

I am taking this opportunity to share this intelligence to enlighten others to the challenges in society that may confront the individual’s physical, mental, financial and spiritual well being. Keep in mind that I have my own interpretations on ideological issues, spiritual interpretation and security matters that may inspire others in unknown ways. With proper education, counterintelligence and executive protection, we can avoid becoming traumatized by overwhelming religious, social, political and cultural issues. Sometimes, our own views can have unintentional consequences on others without realizing it. Shalom TV is great free service in creating a supportive, loving and peaceful community.

Warning: Please investigate policies and procedures, laws and regulations and history of the organization. If you become suspicious or threatened, find help elsewhere. Guard against questionable practices, carelessness, negligence, criminal activities, off the record conduct, biases, misinformation, re-victimization, misguidance and misdirection when seeking assistance. Know your individual rights, the right to collect information on any subject matter and the right to use other resources, if necessary. Check your instincts from time to time. Proper help is not always available. As a result, other healthy socially accepted methods must be established. Know when to request professional backup for protection.
