Come clean on this Goldman fella, Tom.

Moreover, there is little harm done by Goldman's Site, really, and as an informal sounding board it is perfect for all - formal and informa users!! Everyone must exercise good judgement on information flow no matter from what source - even GoK delves with very polished ease in twisting information if it serves good National purpose.

Some very wise person said two thousand years ago that if there are not against you, let them be.

Rwigi,
The SIN guy has some qualities and an aspect of a 'learned Intelligence Officer.'
He may be a way off the mark with his information, but something tells me, there is more quality and ability in his presentations.
Even if he does it for money, he has managed to give KDF a new face 'A SUPER ARMY' while at the same time changed public perception about KDF.
Look at these 2 articles....
http://intelligencebriefs.com/?p=1629
http://intelligencebriefs.com/?p=1621
it requires an expert to dig this, piece after another then put them together into a story of sorts...
We may underestimate him but he has something we dont have 'Intelligence analysis skills'
Even if i were to nail him, i would only use his expertise, it is of importance to have such brains.

Come clean on this Goldman fella,...

Vitruvian, you recall Spidey advised us quite a while ago, on the Chronicles, about him sniffing of a imminent two pronged, European-lead initiative that comprising privately funded and operated ''shotgun'' Escorts for shipping in the Gulf and waters near Somalia and an Intelligence outfit to supply to the Escorts and Shipping lines with real-time satellite imagery and GSM telephone intercepts from Somalia on Piracy?

This idea could have metarmophed into more than it was sniffed by Spidey, Nairobi being just so in Global Strategic terms, and other players may have caught on too. NSIS -domestic has been frantic keeping tabs on a growing multiplicity of shadowy players lately.

I doubt that there are bloggers here doubling here as the Goldman fella - his diction and word generation is not indigenous; it certainly is not KDF/GoK nor Spidey - neither myself for that matter!!

Cleaner than that, buddy, you will need a Full 7-tons Water Bouser, a couple of kilos of Sunlight powder and a team of '"scrubblers"!!

I beg to differ. The slant in this article is so evident and so evidently partisan as to preclude the possibility of a non-indigenous author. This fella is very much Kenyan and he knows exactly on which side of the political divide he stands. He's foaming from the mouth.

You may be convinced the dude is Kenyan but Nkaraei disputes this comprehensively "the Goldman fella - his diction and word generation is not indigenous; it certainly is not KDF/GoK"

In your view you mention the slang is so evident and partisan concluding our guy is Kenyan.

The point is are we worried about the info he provides or his employer intentions?

i have just read his latest http://intelligencebriefs.com/?p=1633 and i think we have an expert intelligence analyst who is very capable of gathering information, analyze it then produce a report which is credible. This would mean, he is always informed and his stories might be fiction today and truth the next day.

This Kenyan is either very persecuted or needs to be in a mental institution. Either way, he needs help. Has anyone heard of him?

http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16995&Itemid=114

A deeper observation of Goldman,IMHO reveals 2 things:
While he is very well informed in his news, eg,the mi28s and ka-52 tryout;in his analysis he often commits howlers;eg ati the F-15s are a response to the UPDF su-35s. Or his partisan trashing of the post Moi NSIS.
This suggests he doesn't have the security/intel background he'd like to infer;if he does have that past,it is at a low level. For now, I won't speculate on his nationality. I've no problem with him. His site is interesting and he's found a novel way to make money in cyberspace.
Guys,a difference of opinion is just that,a difference of opinion. Its not cause for internet intifadas. Without naming names,I'll just say that ignorance isn't necessarily foolishness. People seeking knowledge shouldn't be dissed especially on a forum that deals with those same relevant issues.

This isn't an analysis, Analyst. This is a hodgepodge of readily available information in the public domain. There is nothing insightful or revealing about the article, just recycled information. Who is David James and what are his credentials? Who is Paul Goldsmith and what are his credentials? Who is David Goldman?
Perhaps, as Ole Nkarei says, we should let them be if they are not against us. But it might be difficult, in the midst of these abundant pro-Kenya (quasi-patriotic?) articles, to spot the sucker punch. Be wary of Greeks bearing gifts.

Vitruvian,

Let's not be carried instead, lets try to use his leads and get somewhere....i am sure he is no fool to conduct espionage in Kenya. He will be arrested of-course. His is something like http://www.stratfor.com. Another intelligence outfit that offers similar analysis to SIN.

Check this out

According to Crisis Group Africa Report , the MRC militia wing aim is
‘two-fold: to destroy the tourism industry and raise money to buy
weapons from Somalia.’ This begs the question, ‘Was MRC behind the
abductions of tourists in Kenya?’

i find this ability to find and gather this coarse body or readily available information then examining it carefully, then finding the distant vital points and putting them together into a report as the crux of SIN's hodgepodge.....

Question time: What would be the viability of a JROTC / ROTC like program in
high school and university campuses, akin to the President’s Award Scheme? Now that the education system in Kenya is set for a major
overhaul, IMHO it might be an interesting addition to the curriculum and a nice opportunity to identify talented individuals at a young age and place
them in the pipeline to various services / formations in the armed forces.

Peace, brother Analyst. Not dissing you as has been suggested, just voicing a different opinion. Let us agree to differ on SIN, makes the debates more interesting. A Mwaura says, a difference of opinion is just that, a difference of opinion.

We have certainly matured this forum - doggonit, men, Goldman has occupied our collective attentions for three working days, and the exchanges have been genial, informative and objective-based. Something we should proudly adopt, I reckon. But despite that we have all varying skepticism and trepidation about this SIN-thing, surely we are able to sift the BS in it from the grains of truthfulness, if not individually then collectively. It has always amazed me that story of the young man infested with a Legion of Demons holding a conversation with Christ in the Bible - just how was multiplicity evil+ lies in this young fella able to so lucidly communicate with goodness + truth?? Eeiiish!! The search for knowledge is never intended to be in a guaranteed aquarium of truth.

@Mwaura - the disdainful comments about NSIS in SIN, in my opinion, are likely made by someone that worked in the JK Outfit which preceded the NSIS. As such, it could be more of a professional gripe than a political statement aimed comparatively at the Political Oversight of NSIS versus Special Branch. Ama, joo?

The bit about the Mi-28, local assembly and pilot conversion is correct - the numbers is not! KAMOV-52 was a probe that ran away with some folks - made at the same time as the probe for the Chinese Z-w9. May be a future probability though!

Tell us where exactly is the assembly being done,at Eastleigh AFB? Did the ka 52 purchase probe reach a field test stage?

You're right ,as usual.Some people have very short memories! Who can forget the Nyayo house torture chambers or how SB guys would plant seditious material on innocent to extort money? Does he know it was only in 91 when Kenyans could talk freely without looking over their shoulders?

I can, but you do know I will not and should not do that, Mwaura. Pole. But it is not a frantic activity at all - there is presently no blinding urgency to field them, really. The AS is not the purpose of this equipment. The KA52 Helios purchase probe was just that - a probe. Quite normal and actually required each and every time. Field testing implies much more than a probe. No?

Silly me! What was I thinking? Let me just say I wasn't drinking water at the time-in fact even now I'm still not drinking water!! Am happy to see we've at least reached the first stage of licence assembly of equipment.
What was the result of the ka 52 purchase probe? Too pricy?
Btw,mi 28s/ka 52s are overkill for ragged al shabaab types. What target in their inventory would justify logistically demanding 30 mm chainguns? But,of course you know this.

Been saying just so for days - Alshabaab is definetely not the purpose for these Helios, the Z-9w and the MD500 is already an overkill for that Theatre. But, push out our defense-to depth envelope to take in a nascent GoSS and those Bashir-MBT sitting just across the disputed border. If they push into GoSS in strength, Rwaza-2030 is still-born. And already the scramble for Somalia Hydrocarbons is getting into full swing - the Brits have jumped in Diplomatic and Humanitarian, God knows the other monsters as chaffing to get in too. It is very likely Zenawi may eventually push into Upper Gedo and Puntland, and try to jumble up Juba. Should we just wait and see? Hell No!!

It wasn't the price, Mwaura; China was more complete package than the Ruskies, that is all.

Now, stop fishing, man. Kinda turbulent waters.

@Mwaura and @ Fusebox,

How i wish i was SIN's Goldman...imagine being mentioned by the official KDF spokesman as an authentic source of info?

Imagine 'i' being the man who causes you nights of serious thoughts as you guys try to figure out how i come up with intelligence that shapes public opinion about KDF and NSIS.

i can only imagine how NSIS feels underrated yet take up the advice and wish i was one among their ranks.
Man!.....i would be jumping up and down with pride

Lol...but am not SIN, and i cant bask in such glory!!...poor me.....just an enthusiast of how Risasi, Ole Nkarei, and Vitruvian come up with great insights.

Hhhmmppphh!! am offended!

SIN surely gets everyone riled up! SINalyst? another case of mistaken identity? Great job Bond!

Credit has to be given to them for being pertinent to the the discourse.



The next Moongheekey?....


Thank you,
Sparkatilili

@Analyst why not go ahead and fill the Vacuum??? aaahhh!!!! KWACHUWA!!! like a Kenyan Mdosi to an unclaimed prime Land …….when the owner surfaces, we will compensate him……….I will back you with air cover LoLest…..tricky one eeeeh that’s our J.O.B.


Separately when did this happen? I must have beeen wandering somewhere in the clouds-----> did How i wish i was SIN's Goldman...imagine being mentioned by the official KDF spokesman as an authentic source of info

Risasi wrote:...imagine being mentioned by the official KDF spokesman as an authentic source of info

Never did happen, Bullet-man! SIN like any competent Intel Analyst validates his Intel from Source; KDF quoting SIN is akin to the Moon giving light to the Sun!

An an aside, Analyst, don't fret too much about the mixing up of profiles, happens often here - Mekatilili is referring to my gaffe taking him and Vitruvian to be either one and the same or veritable siamese twins!! Just keep posting, buddy! The Bullet Man running a CAS, Mwaura at your six, and myself at point, etc........

Whatever. But Analyst's almost-zealous-veneration for SIN goes a very long way beyond bounds. I'm having a really, really hard time believing that the relation is merely casual. Considering that there is no real substance to SIN. Analyst has demonstrated that his analytical powers are sufficiently profound to see through SIN and I can only interpret his infatuation in one way.
