- A flurry of press today (Friday) with CNN, Laredo Morning Times and
- Reuters over MX narco
- violence that stretches from Juarez to NL. The tactical team did a very
- good job of cutting through the fog to determine whether or not a VBIED
- detonated in Juarez. Job well done to Alex and The Stick.
- My book is done and I'm plodding through edit changes from the
- publisher. I'm hopeful to be done very shortly and I thank you for your
- patience.
- Worked with Darryl on new office security plans; met with the new
- security committee to discuss George's direction on better OPSEC.
- Shared space in DC is an issue, but one that we have to deal with.
- We need ALL execs to get PGP.
- On the intel front, Russian spies, the Comrade J death and fall-out
- drove a fair amount of work this week.
- Met with Grant, Kyle, Stick and Jenna to discuss new business ideas or
- portals for security and terrorism. Fruitful discussion, I believe.
- Spoke to my high school at Walmart this week. Interesting factoid, WM
- out-sourced $20 BILLION to vendors (not suppliers) last year. Yes,
- billion, not millions. His job is to figure out a way to reduce that
- figure. Deloitte got the lions share of the $20 BILLION.
- Korena and I met w/Mike Rosen, a friend of mine and Congressman McCaul's
- gatekeeper about getting the Republicans (or at least McCaul) to buy a
- portal.
- TrapWire for the Great State of Texas is a go. Cash should begin to
- flow to Abraxas within 10 days. As many of you old-timers know, we
- arranged to get a cut. I think the first dump is $250,000 to Abraxas,
- with an annual renewal of $150,000 per year for the TrapWire license.
- The point man for the project worked directly for me at DPS. Abraxas
- has done work already pro-bono as good will. TrapWire may be the most
- successful invention on the GWOT since 9-11. I knew these hacks when
- they were GS-12's at the CIA. God Bless America. Now they have EVERY
- major HVT in CONUS, the UK, Canada, Vegas, Los Angeles, NYC as clients.
