A Look Back ... Benjamin Franklin: Founding Father of Covert Action

There was never a good war or a bad peace.
—Benjamin Franklin

With the beginning of the Revolutionary War came the birth of American intelligence. Since
then, the tradecraft of intelligence has been developed and improved to better protect our
nation. Our nation’s birthday is a good time to reflect on how intelligence tradecraft began.

Twice a Founding Father

One founding father who contributed to the development of American
Intelligence was Benjamin Franklin. He became known as a master of covert action.

Long before the war, Franklin had established a reputation as:

* a scientist of distinction,
* a seasoned diplomat,
* a world-class thinker, and
* a talented public servant.

He utilized all of these skills to carry out covert actions successfully. During the war, Franklin served as:

* an agent of influence,
* a propagandist,
* manager of covert French aid to the American Revolutionaries, and
* director of American paramilitary activities against the British.

Benjamin Franklin was a committed revolutionary, so Beck in saying ..

"Why is it that such a committed revolutionary has made it so high
into the Obama administration as one of his chief advisers?" Beckasked.

Christine Glunz, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, noted that Jones has been lauded
as an environmental hero and said his entire focus is on “building clean energy incentives which create 21st-century jobs.”

“Glenn Beck is trying to change the subject,” said James Rucker, executive director of Color of Change, who noted
that Jones has not been active with the group in almost two years. “The issue is his baseless fear mongering.”

was obviously not thinking clearly,

or caught in the clutches of ideological hate, in his political pig-sty where fear-mongering is hay .. HEY! .. of the day,

or racist himself.

To Beck and his followers, I say, Caput tuum in ano est .. Your head is up your anus

To you, I say. Go figure. Tuum Est. It is yours ..
