Open Source Intelligence (Osint): An Oxymoron
Tomorrow’s Europe: A never closer union
Europe is beset with multiple, intersecting challenges and crises, among them unwelcome inward migration, suffocating indebtedness in the southern tier, rising populist nationalism evident from Britain and France to Hungary and Poland, and residue from the 2008 economic/euro crisis, to name the more prominent ones.

Terrorism and language: A text‐based analysis of the German case
Contemporary terrorism combines selective violence with reliance on language to articulate terrorist motivations, beliefs, and objectives. Focusing on language, this interdisciplinary approach applies insights from content and propaganda analysis, psycholinguistics, structural linguistics, and political and socio‐biographic analysis to major event‐related statements issued between 1972 and 1986 by the West German terrorist group Red Army Faction …

Statistics compiled on over 350 known terrorists from eighteen Middle Eastern, Latin American, West European and Japanese groups revealed the composite terrorist as a single male, ag…
