1. Abel Danger (AD) asserts that Serco injected news of a North Korean hydrogen bomb test into the main stream media (MSM) as part of a Resilience exercise so that Serco's US/UK Cabinet Office clients could blackmail their populations with real or perceived threats of a nuclear attacks.

2. AD asserts that Serco's 8(a) operatives of the Defense Red Switch Network extorted a white flag of surrender from former U.S. Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig after the USS Cole triggered a bumper bomb in Aden Harbour on October 12, 2000.

3. AD asserts that Serco is injecting Resilience news on ISIS chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) threats through Clinton war rooms on the FS Charles de Gaulle and white-flag U.S. Navy ships after the attack on the Cole.

United States Marine Field McConnell (http://www.abeldanger.net/2010/01/field-mcconnell-bio.html) offers to show concerned Americans how to win a Resilience war.

It is now D-Day + 38.

"Political fallout for Hillary Clinton after North Korea's nuke test
Updated 6:13 AM ET, Thu January 7, 2016
North Korea conducts hydrogen bomb test 01:45
Story highlights
The episode is a fresh indication of the challenge that Clinton faces in running for the White House on her record as secretary of state
Washington has tried punishment and inducements repeatedly with North Korea and has failed to change its calculations
Washington (CNN)North Korea might not be able to reach the U.S. mainland with a nuclear weapon yet, but the political fallout from its claimed hydrogen bomb test is here already.
Even before the shockwaves of the 5.1 temblor triggered by Tuesday's test wore off, Hillary Clinton was fighting off a volley of Republican attacks, GOP presidential candidates were talking tough and Donald Trump jumped on a chance to chastise China.
The episode was a fresh indication of the challenge that Clinton faces in running for the White House on her record as secretary of state, which makes it impossible for her to escape deficiencies in President Barack Obama's national security legacy.
"If this test is confirmed, it will be just the latest example of the failed Obama-Clinton foreign policy," crowed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is styling himself as a foreign policy expert. He argued that U.S. enemies were "taking advantage of Obama's weakness."
Former business executive Carly Fiorina, another outspoken GOP hawk, also slammed Clinton, arguing that the volatile Stalinist state had been spurred to up the nuclear ante by Obama administration concessions granted to Iran in return for a freezing of its nuclear program.
"Of course, North Korea would conduct a nuclear test after watching Iran willfully violate an agreement they just made without consequence of any kind from this administration," Fiorina said in a statement. "North Korea is yet another Hillary Clinton foreign policy failure."
Political bind for Clinton
There's no question that as the administration in possession of the North Korea nuclear problem, the Obama White House -- and by extension Clinton -- are in a political bind.
Their failure to turn back North Korea's development of its nuclear arsenal is manifest in its flurry of nuclear tests and ballistic missile engineering over the last seven years. But there is no obvious way to deter a nation that does not respond to the traditional carrots and sticks of diplomacy.
"What we've also seen on the part of North Koreans is an apparent willingness to accept international isolation," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday, pointing out that North Korea already had a nuclear bomb when Obama took office.
Clinton's campaign is working to absolve her of blame for past failures and to turn her vulnerability into a strength. So the former secretary of state offered the most detailed plan of any of the candidates on how to respond.
Addressing multiple audiences, as a commander-in-chief must, Clinton accused North Korea of playing nuclear blackmail and "bullying," offered reassurance to U.S. allies and then turned on her Republican foes, questioning their capacity to handle the situation.
The former top U.S. diplomat also defended her own work on North Korea, saying she had been responsible for getting Russia and China on board for the "strongest sanctions yet" against Pyongyang while she was at the State Department.
And she fired a warning at her Republican adversaries, particularly seeming to target the brazen Trump and youthful Rubio.
"Threats like this are yet another reminder of what's at stake in this election. We cannot afford reckless, imprudent publicity stunts that risk war. We need a commander-in-chief with the experience and judgement to deal with a dangerous North Korea on Day One."

"Super Serco bulldozes ahead
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
UPDATED: 23:00 GMT, 1 September 2004
SERCO has come a long way since the 1960s when it ran [Resilience exercises and] the 'four-minute warning' system to alert the nation to a ballistic missile attack.
Today its £10.3bn order book is bigger than many countries' defence budgets. It is bidding for a further £8bn worth of contracts and sees £16bn of 'opportunities'.
Profit growth is less ballistic. The first-half pre-tax surplus rose 4% to £28.1m, net profits just 1% to £18m. Stripping out goodwill, the rise was 17%, with dividends up 12.5% to 0.81p.
Serco runs the Docklands Light Railway, five UK prisons, airport radar and forest bulldozers in Florida.
Chairman Kevin Beeston said: 'We have virtually no debt and more than 600 contracts.'
The shares, 672p four years ago, rose 8 1/4p to 207 1/4p, valuing Serco at £880m or nearly 17 times earnings.
Michael Morris, at broker Arbuthnot, says they are 'a play on UK government spend' which is rising fast."

"ISIS Sending 'Scientist Army' To West To Launch Biological War
Posted on December 7, 2015 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in Middle EastNews // 0 Comments
A shocking report from the European Parliament claims that ISIS has recruited experts with chemistry, physics and computer science degrees to wage war with weapons of mass destruction against the West.
According to a briefing document, ISIS 'may be planning to try to use internationally banned weapons of mass destruction in future attacks'. The document also claims that weapons of mass destruction are already likely smuggled into Europe.
Dailymail.co.uk reports:
Experts fear that ISIS will be able to exploit a failure of EU governments to share information on possible terrorists.
Already, British police forces have been conducting exercises on how to deal with various types of terrorist attack. But the EU report claims that government should ‘consider publicly addressing the possibility of terrorist attack using chemical, biological, radiological or even nuclear materials’.
The report, ISIL/Da’esh and 'non-conventional' weapons of terror warns: ‘At present, European citizens are not seriously contemplating the possibility that extremist groups might use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) materials during attacks in Europe. Under these circumstances, the impact of such an attack, should it occur, would be even more destabilising.’
Rob Wainwright, head of Europol said after the attacks on Paris: ‘We are dealing with a very serious, well-resourced, determined international terrorist organisation that is now active on the streets of Europe.
'This represents the most serious terrorist threat faced in Europe for 10 years.'
Mr Wainwright warned that ISIS had serious capabilities in terms of resources and manpower.'
Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow in Chatham House’s International Security Department said: ‘There is a very real risk of ISIS using unconventional weapons in Europe and beyond.'
Wolfgang Rudischhauser, Director of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Non-Proliferation Centre at NATO said: ‘ISIS actually has already acquired the knowledge, and in some cases the human expertise, that would allow it to use CBRN materials as weapons of terror.'
The report claims 'ISIL/Da'esh has recruited and continues to recruit hundreds of foreign fighters, including some with degrees in physics, chemistry and computer science, who experts believe have the ability to manufacture lethal weapons from raw substances.'
EU governments have been warned to watch out for 'other radicalised individuals, who have access to, or work in, sensitive areas'.
Intelligence services have also been warned to screen returning Jihadi fighters for 'specialist CBRN knowledge'.
The shocking study claims that 150 cases of nuclear or radiological trafficking are reported annually.
Worse still: ‘CBRN substances have been carried undetected into the European Union.
‘Interpol’s monthly CBRN intelligence reports show numerous examples of attempts to acquire, smuggle or use CBRN materials.'"

"The Washington Post Highlights How Trump Injected Right-Wing Fringe News Into Mainstream Coverage
Blog ››› December 11, 2015 9:51 PM EST ››› DAYANITA RAMESH
 Once a small fringe, this "alternative" information ecosystem now includes websites, talk-radio programs, newsletters, conferences and "citizen journalists" who promote, debate and inflate such questionable causes as vaccine denial, climate-change skepticism , and the supposedly imminent imposition of sharia law in America. The fringe nowadays often injects its ideas into the mainstream by gaining the attention of sources broadly popular among conservatives, such as Fox News and the Drudge Report, which devoted attention to rumors that the Operation Jade Helm military exercises last summer in the southwest U.S. were a prelude to a crackdown on civil liberties.
"There's an information-age tsunami out there that just keeps getting bigger and bigger," said Steve Smith, a veteran newspaper editor who now teaches journalism at the University of Idaho. "When you combine this digital tsunami with the loss of quality and quantity in American journalism [due to cutbacks and economic woes] over the years . . . journalists just don't have the ability to keep up once a false narrative gains speed."
At the same time, Trump has been the most aggressive in the Republican field in denouncing the mainstream media, the erstwhile arbiter of fact. Many of his condemnations of mainstream reporters have been echoed by Trump's army of Twitter followers and supportive websites, such as the conservative Breitbart.com.
Trump, in turn, cites his Twitter followers as the source for some of his own non-facts, such as his recent claim that African Americans killed 81 percent of white homicide victims (the actual number is closer to 15 percent, according to Factcheck.org). He defended his position of not allowing Muslims to enter the United States by citing a poll conducted by Center for Security Policy, a think tank known for a variety of conspiracy theories, such as that members of the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated the Obama administration. The result is a kind of self-reinforcing information loop in which Trump introduces some inaccurate statement, is called on it by the news media, which is then denounced by Trump for its supposed bias against him.
Trump's most famously false contention, of course, was his long, pre-campaign embrace of "birtherism," the notion that President Obama wasn't born on American soil and is therefore ineligible to be president. Despite ample evidence to the contrary, including a birth certificate issued in Hawaii and a contemporaneous newspaper birth announcement, birther sites -- from Birthers.org to Obamabirthbook.com -- are strewn across the Internet, actively promoting a debunked thesis."

Several hours later, a second assault targeted a different compound about one mile away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty.[10][11] Ten others were also injured in the attacks.
Many Libyans condemned the attacks and praised the late ambassador. They staged public demonstrations condemning the militias (formed during the civil war to oppose leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi),[12][13][14] which were suspected of the attacks.
The United States immediately increased security worldwide at diplomatic and military facilities and began investigating the Benghazi attack.[15][16] In the aftermath of the attack,State Department officials were criticized for denying requests for additional security at the consulate prior to the attack. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton subsequently took responsibility for the security lapses.[17]

"The Welsh Security Contractor Behind America's Benghazi Consulate Guards
OCT 18, 2012
A new report reveals the local Libyans it hired weren't armed and didn't have security experience.
It is, as my colleague Jeffrey Goldberg has noted, to be lamented that the conversation around the attack on the U.S. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya, has become so focused on who said what when instead of on the underlying security and foreign-policy issues. Today, American Crossroads, the Karl Rove-backed Republican super PAC, is out with a Web video criticizing the Obama administration's repeated mentions of an American anti-Muslim video that sparked riots and protests in dozens of cities around the globe, leading to at least 49 deaths in 10 days and injuries to hundreds.
The video focuses on the administration's repeated repudiations of the anti-Muslim video that sparked a riot in front of the American embassy in Cairo, including statements made after the attack on the consulate in Libya when the film was continuing to roil international waters.
Meanwhile, the story of what happened with the consular security in Libya is continuing to come into view as journalists, such as a most excellent team at Reuters, have dug into the practices of Welsh security contractor the Blue Mountain Group, which was brought on by the State Department to oversee the new and potentially temporary consular compound in Benghazi. What the reporters found is astonishing, considering how many armed guards one finds in much less dangerous environs in the United States: "Blue Mountain guards patrolled with flashlights and batons instead of guns."
According to its website, Blue Mountain, run by a former member of the British special forces named David Nigel Thomas, had "recently operated in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, the Caribbean and across Europe," and worked with corporate clients, such as "BAT, BG Group, Cadburys, Cannon, CapGemini, DHL, Excel, Google, Jaguar Landrover, Lufthansa, Motorola, Orange, OSCE, Romec, Sealed Air, Sony and Viacom."
Reuters' key passage:
The State Department contract for "local guard" services in Benghazi took effect in March 2012. Several of Blue Mountain's Libyan employees told Reuters that they had no prior security training or experience.
"I was never a revolutionary or a fighter, I have never picked up a weapon during the war or after it," said Abdelaziz al-Majbiri, 28, who was shot in the legs during the September 11 assault.
The Libyan commander in charge of the local guards at the mission was a former English teacher who said he heard about Blue Mountain from a neighbor. "I don't have a background in security, I've never held a gun in my life," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety.
When hired, the commander said he was told "you have great English and get along with everyone and are punctual; we want you to be a guard commander."
The unarmed guards were told to sound the alarm over the radio and then run for cover if there was an attack, a Libyan who acted as a supervisor for the Blue Mountain local guard team at the mission said during an interview with Reuters ....
Despite their inexperience, the Blue Mountain guards said they feared the Americans were not concerned enough about security.
"We used to tell the Americans who spoke to us on many occasions that we needed more support in security, because it felt thin on the ground. But they didn't seem to be so worried, and (were) confident that no one will dare to come close to the consulate," one guard said.”

"CASE STUDY
24th Air Force Cyber Operations Support
The 24th Air Force (24 AF) is the operational warfighting organization that establishes, operates, maintains and defends Air Force networks and conducts full-spectrum operations in cyberspace. It establishes, operates and defends Air Force networks to ensure warfighters can maintain the information advantage as they fulfill military operations. The unit is responsible to conduct a full range of cyber operations.
The new 24 AF Headquarters (HQ) facility in San Antonio was outfitted to provide the infrastructure and technological resources needed to continue operating this important mission. Serco developed a comprehensive IT solution guided by three points:
Develop a holistic solution to integrate and standardize the IT architecture across multiple networks and functions,
Utilize the latest technology in virtualization and remote desktops to reduce clutter, maintenance requirements and power/cooling requirements,
Ensure the technology provides the performance and mobility needed to perform the 24 AF mission and facilitate reliable collaboration among mission critical planning cells and throughout the wider enterprise.
Serco designed and implemented server-based computing systems that utilize Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to deliver a major advancement in remote desktop performance over what had previously been possible with standard thin client systems. The architecture consists of zero client devices at the desktop that employ Personal Computer over Internet Protocol (PCoIP), which is capable of delivering high volume data or real time audio and video without jitter or delay. Zero client refers to ultrathin clients that deliver services with no software and minimal hardware requirements.
The zero clients connect to virtual desktops on a server for excellent performance meeting 99% of the 24 AF mission needs. For the remaining 1%, those users needing graphics-intensive computing, the same zero client can also connect to a blade-based graphics workstation via login options derived from user credentials and permissions.
Serco also integrated voice, video teleconferencing capabilities and situational awareness displays, along with the VDI, into the facility's network distribution system across multiple networks. The result is an integrated IP-based total capability that is centrally managed and consistent across all platforms. Serco also implemented Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN), completed a structured fiber optic and Category 6 cabling system, and participated in the construction design working group to ensure supporting systems (e.g. Power and HVAC) were able to support the 24 AF's IT needs.
As a result of Serco’s support, 24th Air Force enjoys a true state-of-the-art environment that has delivers the high level of performance and security requires to continue fulfilling the important missions protecting the nation’s security."

"How Hillary Clinton's Server Makes Her An Object of Blackmail
And Why She Can Never Be Considered an Honest Agent of the United States - Ever….
By: drevildoer (Diary)  |  March 14th, 2015 at 05:53 PM  | 
In days past, I was the proud holder of a Top Secret clearance.  What I did is unimportant, but how I got my clearance is, and why total transparency was critical to making it work.  To get my clearance, I was required to divulge and discuss issues that were, shall we say, part of a foolish and somewhat misspent youth as a grad student.
Why did I have to disclose past foolishness?  Because to not do so would leave me open to blackmail.  By keeping it secret, it places me in a position where I wish to continue that secrecy.  This desire, on my part, to keep that past behavior secret opens me up to the threat of blackmail by foreign intelligence agencies or criminal organizations.  This is not fantasy – it is very real.  Non-disclosure is a typical reason to deny clearance.  The Government, in denying clearances, can state as part of the denial that the Applicant is ineligible due to conduct involving questionable judgment, untrustworthiness, unreliability, lack of candor, dishonesty, or an unwillingness to comply with rules and regulations.  All things that even liberals will agree that Hillary was guilty in creating her server (and the pitiful pack of lies that she exhibited at the UN press conference).
Being elected to office can make you eligible for security clearance (often undeserved, with many of our officials).  So getting a clearance is not an issue here.  If Hillary is elected, she will hold the highest clearance in the land, and there is no agency that can or will deny her.
But then there is the deleted “personal” email.
When someone uses an official email account, whether it be a business or government, where they have proper email backups, your actions in an official duty are backed up by that history.  No one can claim that you used your official email, if you in fact didn’t, for personal gain or for other aspects or actions of corruption.
Hillary has no protection.  There are no official copies of her email, under government control, to protect her from being accused of using her office for corruption.  So what is there to keep a foreign government from “creating” an email that infers that she received funds to the Clinton Foundation in return for some then or future favor.  What if this government, when she is President, threatens her with releasing multiple emails that implicate her in all sorts of skullduggery?  What protection does Hillary Rodham Clinton have against such a threat?
None.  To avoid a scandal, perhaps at an inopportune time requiring all her political capital, she would have to give the foreign government what they wanted, or have a slew of emails released showing all sorts of communications.  How could she deny them?  She can’t.  She used her own server, and she has no defense to say that such messages did not come from her. Indeed, she has deleted, in what it appears to be a guilty and transparent attempt to hide possible transgressions, all the email that she could use to possibly show that she was innocent, and she further refuses to turn over the server to a third party that could hold it incorruptible (not that she would be believed, even now).
We assume from her desire to keep her email separate, and under her control, that she did in fact intend to keep things hidden.  She has further wiped out a substantial amount of her email history.  And if her email server, as many experts are now stating, was as insecure as we guess it was, it has almost certainly been hacked.  So what if she actually did have communications showing evidence of corruption and quid pro quo between some nation and the Clinton Foundation.  Lets say that Russia, or Iran, or China, or Korea want their own quid pro quo?  Once again, she has no defense.  Had she used the State Department server, and there was no evidence that she had ever used an outside server, she would have a much better chance of defending herself.  But now, it looks like she has something to hide.
Any outside enemy of the United States can use that against her, as President.  Which means she can never be trusted to be acting in the best interest of the United States ever again.  That’s why the Server is a class A-1 scandal.  Will conservatives recognize this, and point out this threat before she gains power and is blackmailed into acting against the interests of the United States?  We can only hope.
In the meantime, her actions in reference to the server and emails totally destroys her credibility.  This is no minor scandal. And this is no minor threat."

"Serco Combined Resilience Exercising
Types of Exercise Workshop Exercises These are structured discussion events where participants can explore issues in a less pressurised environment. They are an ideal way of developing solutions, procedures and plans rather than the focus being on decision making. Table Top Exercises These involve a realistic scenario and will follow a time line, either in real-time or with time jumps to concentrate on the more important areas. The participants would be expected to be familiar with the plans and procedures that are being used although the exercise tempo and complexity can be adjusted to suit the current state of training and readiness. Simulation and media play can be used to support the exercise. Table-top exercises help develop teamwork and allow participants to gain a better understanding of their roles and that of other agencies and organisations. Command/Control Post Exercises These are designed primarily to exercise the senior leadership and support staff in collective planning and decision making within a strategic grouping. Ideally such exercises would be run from the real command and control locations and using their communications and information systems. This could include a mix of locations and varying levels of technical simulation support. The Gold Standard system is flexible to allow the tempo and intensity to be adjusted to ensure maximum training benefit, or to fully test and evaluate the most important aspects of a plan. Such exercises also test information flow, communications, equipment, procedures, decision making and coordination.
Simulation and Media Support The method of delivering an exercise is flexible and will be designed with the client to meet their requirements with options ranging from simple paper-based delivery through to full use of their real communications systems [Red Switch Network and Hawkeye onion router surveillance aircraft] and advance computer simulation [In Trump's death pool and war room suites]. In addition, media play can also be added in the form of news injects and the provision of experienced journalists and television crews to help test procedures and also assist in training key staff.
