During World War II, there were over 240 spies working for Soviet intelligence in the US Government, Congress, media and defense companies at this same time. It was only after many years, many lost lives and subjugated countries that people started believe there was a real threat and take action to protect and defend our liberty against totalitarianism.

Once again, history is repeating itself but this time we have a clear guide from the past and hopefully we’ll use the lessons learned from the previous conflict. This is the true value of education. The courses you take from the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies (CI Centre) teach you how the intelligence and counterintelligence wars of the Cold War, or World War III, were fought: what was successful; what mistakes were made; what consequences came from them; and lessons from this time we can apply today in the struggle against totalitarian fundamental Islamic extremism: World War IV.

The CI Centre offers two five-day "War on Terrorism" courses that focus on this current threat--"361― The War on Terrorism: Roots of the Conflict and Counterintelligence Response" and "561 ― The War on Terrorism: A Practical Response" partnering with the Hamilton Trading Group, highly-respected surveillance experts. These vitally important courses provide intelligence and security professionals, as well as others, with the knowledge to truly and deeply understand, perhaps for the first time, the very real threat of Islamic extremism to American lives and our democratic way of life. The courses remind attendees that the time-honored and tested counterintelligence techniques of identifying, penetrating and neutralizing can be used offensively and defensively against terrorists who desire to kill Americans in the name of Islam. We already have these tools, we’ve already used them in the past and we have the benefit of knowing what worked and what didn’t. This is the real value of education and why the CI Centre is so committed to providing over 35 courses to the government and private sector, including these two.

361 focuses on counterintelligence tools used in the past by the FBI, the British and the Israelis to successfully counter terrorist groups and attacks. This course is useful for anyone who needs a greater understanding of the threat we face today.

561 focuses on actual street exercises with countersurveillance instructors from our partner, the Hamilton Trading Group, Inc. This course is especially useful for security and law enforcement personnel--anyone who is responsible for protecting people and facilities--to know what terrorist pre-attack surveillance looks like.

Remember that if you are a member of the US national security community or state and local law enforcement agencies, you have a different obligation than most people. Others have the luxury of debating what Islam supposedly is or is not. With your duty of protecting American lives here in the US and overseas, you don’t have this luxury. Just like during World War III when you had to know what the Soviet Union military, intelligence and their leaders (not ordinary Russians) thought, said and did, you must know what the terrorists and those who support or agree with them believe Islam to be; what they say about Islam and how this motivates them to act and kill. We strongly encourage you to take either the 361 course or the 561 course, continue reading more about this subject and never stop learning, as education is the “great defense of nations.”

These courses are held at the CI Centre's fully-equipped training facility in Alexandria, VA or at your location. To schedule or sponsor a running of this course, please call Kristina Scholze at the CI Centre, 703-642-7450 or 1-800-779-4007. Or fill out this form.
