The lightest nuclear warhead ever acknowledged to have been manufactured by the U.S. is the W54, which was used in both the Davy Crockett 120 mm recoilless rifle–launched warhead, and the backpack-carried version called the Mk-54 SADM (Special Atomic Demolition Munition).. The bare warhead package was an 11 in by 16 in (28 cm by 41 cm) cylinder that weighed 51 lbs (23 kg). It was, however, small enough to fit in a footlocker-sized container...

” According to Lunev, the number of "missing" nuclear devices (as found by General Lebed) "is almost identical to the number of strategic targets upon which those bombs would be used."Lunev said that he had personally looked for hiding places for weapons caches in the Shenandoah Valley area and that "it is surprisingly easy to smuggle nuclear weapons into the US" either across the Mexican border or using a small transport missile that can slip undetected when launched from a Russian airplane...

The Arecibo telescope Construction began in mid-1960, with the official opening on November 1, 1963.. As the primary dish is spherical, its focus is along a line rather than at a single point (as would be the case for a parabolic reflector); therefore, complicated line feeds had to be used to carry out observations.. Each line feed covered a narrow frequency band (2–5% of the center frequency of the band) and a limited number of line feeds could be used at any one time, limiting the flexibility of the telescope..
In 1974, the Arecibo message, an attempt to communicate with potential extraterrestrial life, was transmitted from the radio telescope toward the globular cluster M13, about 25,000 light-years away..The 1,679 bit pattern of 1s and 0s defined a 23 by 73 pixel bitmap image that included numbers, stick figures, chemical formulas, and a crude image of the telescope itself...

Michael Thomas Hancock, CBE (born 9 April 1946) is a British politician. He is an Independent Member of Parliament (MP) for Portsmouth South, having been elected for the Liberal Democrats, and a City councillor for Fratton ward.
He was promoted to the frontbench by Paddy Ashdown in 1997 as the spokesman on foreign and commonwealth affairs until 2000 when he was moved by Charles Kennedy to speak on the environment, transport and the regions, but following the 2001 General Election Hancock returned to the backbenches..It was reported that he signed nomination forms for more than one candidate in the 2006 Liberal Democrat leadership election, in order to ensure a 'proper contest'...
He was member of both the defence select committee from 1999 to 2011 and has been on the Speaker's panel of chairmen since 1999. He is the vice-chairman of the all party groups on Croatia, and Russia..Matyas Eorsi, a Hungarian member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said of his colleague Hancock in August 2010: "He is the most pro-Russian MP from among all of the countries of western Europe. You just have to read his speeches. When it came to debates on Putin, freedom of the media or the war with Georgia, Michael always defended Russia. Among the Liberal bloc in Strasbourg we were all stunned by his position. According to him, Russia really is a fully-fledged democracy."
On 8 August 2010, one of Hancock's parliamentary aides, Russian national Ekaterina "Katia" Zatuliveter (Екатерина Затуливетер) and her friend were questioned at Gatwick Airport on returning from celebrating her 25th birthday in Croatia..Reportedly, Zatuliveter had been identified by MI5 (UK Security Service) when surveillance linked her to another person with close links to the Russian embassy in London; the latter was suspected of working for the SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service..Hancock also insisted that there was nothing unusual about the requests for information his office had tabled on the locations of the berths for Britain's submarines, the full inventory of the country's missiles as well as other sensitive parts of Britain’s defences..Hancock had asked 50 questions in the Commons on issues associated with Britain's nuclear deterrent since the start of 2008, having asked a total of 119 since 1984; and asked 49 written questions of Ministers on nuclear issues since the start of 2008, having asked a total of 108 since 1984...

This program covers the allegations that former MI5 director Roger Hollis and Trade Union Leader Jack Jones were Soviet Agents. It also examines whether Prime Minister Harold Wilson was himself under surveillance and explores events surrounding the death of 3 IRA members in Gibraltar. The programme also includes an exclusive, television interview with a former MI5 Director General and a KGB Colonel turned British Agent..
Sir Roger Henry Hollis, KBE, CB (2 December 1905 - 26 October 1973) was a British journalist and intelligence officer, who was Director General of MI5 from 1956 to 1965..
Hollis worked in England for Barclays Bank, then as a reporter for the Shanghai Morning Post, and with British American Tobacco in China, where he remained for 8 years.. While in China, Hollis apparently associated frequently with the noted left-wing activist Agnes Smedley.. Hollis developed tuberculosis, and returned to England in 1936 for a brief spell with the Ardath Tobacco Company, an associate of BAT...After a pre-war career as reporter for the Shanghai Post, and with British American Tobacco in China, Hollis developed tuberculosis and returned to England in 1939. He joined MI5 shortly before World War II and rose quickly through the ranks, replacing Sir Dick White in 1956 as head of MI5..
After Kim Philby's flight to Moscow in 1963, rumours began to circulate that Hollis had alerted him to his impending arrest.. He was also criticised for not alerting John Profumo, the War Secretary in Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government, to the fact that he might have become entangled with a Soviet spy ring through his friendship with Stephen Ward, and his affair with Christine Keeler...
Martin eventually became so disgruntled and outspoken about Hollis's attitude toward the investigation (Hollis had, for example, reduced the size of the department and had sent one of Martin's best men on an overseas assignment), that Hollis suspended Martin for a fortnight, and the case was turned over to Peter Wright. Much of the investigation was centred around the interviews with Anthony Blunt at that time, and Peter Wright had amassed a sizable amount of taped evidence from Blunt when Martin returned from suspension. After 1964, Blunt gradually confessed his double-agent role in exchange for immunity from prosecution...
In the book Wright claimed that Hollis had been a Soviet agent. Amongst the evidence for this claim is the Igor Gouzenko defection. Hollis was sent to Canada to interview Gouzenko, a cipher clerk in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa. Wright wrote that Hollis justified his involvement in the case because it involved a communist defection in a Commonwealth nation, so it came under MI5's jurisdiction, and he (Hollis) was MI5's expert on communist matters. Gouzenko had provided Hollis with clear information about Alan Nunn May's meetings with his handlers; all these meetings were immediately cancelled. Alan Nunn May was a scientist and part of the Soviet spy ring which obtained the secrets of the Manhattan Project, which built the first atomic bomb for the United States. Gouzenko also noted that the man who met him seemed to be in disguise, not interested in his revelations, and discouraged him from further disclosures. In view of this circumstantial evidence, Wright became convinced that Hollis was a traitor...Wright alleges in Spycatcher that Gouzenko, who had worked for the GRU, himself deduced later that his interviewer might have been a Soviet double agent, and was probably afraid that he might recognize him from case photos that Gouzenko might have seen in KGB or GRU files, hence the disguise...
Hollis was also accused by Chapman Pincher (investigative journalist who produced several exposés of failures in British counter-intelligence) of being a Soviet agent, though entirely separate from the famous Cambridge Five spy ring. Pincher claims Hollis was recruited by Richard Sorge in China in the early 1930s to spy for the GRU. Evidence has been advanced to support these assertions by Chapman Pincher in Treachery...Peter Wright in Spycatcher asserts that Hollis and his secretary Val Hammond were carrying on a long-standing affair while both were at MI5. Hammond, according to Wright, was eligible for promotion at many points during her long service, including non-clerical positions related to intelligence analysis, but she consistently refused the opportunity to move to higher positions in MI5 in order to stay close to Hollis. They married after Hollis divorced his first wife, Eve, in 1968..His son, Adrian (1940-2013), was a Grandmaster of correspondence chess, and was British Correspondence Chess Champion in 1966, 1967, and 1971. Philosopher Martin Hollis (1938–1998) was his nephew. His elder brother, (Maurice) Christopher Hollis (1902–1977), was a Conservative MP for Devizes from 1945 to 1955...
Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus) is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.. Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active TB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit respiratory fluids through the air.. Most infections are asymptomatic and latent, but about 1 in 10 latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which, if left untreated, kills more than 50% of those so infected...

Sir Stephen James Lander, KCB (born 1947) is a former chairman of the United Kingdom's Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), who also served as Director-General of the British Security Service (MI5) from 1996 to 2002..
So much for MI5's much-vaunted bid to be more open..Try digging around for information on Stephen Lander, the director-general of the Security Service, and there is precious little you will find.Apart from beginning of the New World - Really ! I much prefer the Old Ways !
A dark-haired (Dyed), Cambridge-educated bureaucrat in his early 50s, Mr Lander took over the top job at MI5 in April 1996 when Dame Stella Rimington stepped down..But whereas Dame Stella became a semi-public figure, her successor is best-known for his increasingly frequent carpetings by Home Secretary Jack Straw over embarrassing leaks by former agents and defectors.. Mr Lander met with Mr Straw this week over revelations by former KGB officer Vasili Mitrokhin, who provided MI5 with documents implicating Britain's "Granny Spy" Melita Norwood back in 1992 - yet she has never been charged for supplying the Soviets with nuclear secrets..Annie Machon (born 1968 where), a former MI5 agent and girlfriend of disgruntled former spy David Shayler, pulled fewer punches when she said he "lacked presence and charm and belittled officers' work"...

The Venona project was a long-running secret collaboration of the United States and United Kingdom intelligence agencies involving cryptanalysis of messages sent by intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union, the majority of them during World War II. At least 13 codewords for the project were used by American and British intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency (NSA); "Venona", a term with no known meaning, was the last. (In the decrypted documents issued from the NSA, "VENONA" is written in capitals, but lowercase is common in modern journalism.) It was not until 1995 that project materials were released by the U.S. government. Analysis supported some criminal spy cases, such as that against Julius Rosenberg for some of the charges, but cast doubt on the case against his wife Ethel Rosenberg...
During the initial years of the Cold War, the Venona project was a source of information on Soviet intelligence-gathering activity that was directed at the Western military powers. Although unknown to the public, and even to Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, these programs were of importance concerning crucial events of the early Cold War. These included the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spying case and the defections of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess to the Soviet Union..
The Venona Project was initiated in 1943, under orders from the deputy Chief of Military Intelligence (G-2), Carter W. Clarke..Captain Ginger Nuts Clarke distrusted Joseph Stalin, and feared that the Soviet Union would sign a separate peace with the Third Reich, allowing Germany to focus its military forces against Great Britain and the United States.. Code-breakers of the US Army's Signal Intelligence Service (commonly called Arlington Hall) analyzed encrypted high-level Soviet diplomatic intelligence messages intercepted in large volumes during and immediately after World War II by American, British, and Australian listening posts..For much of its history, knowledge of Venona was restricted even from the highest levels of government. Senior army officers, in consultation with the FBI and CIA, made the decision to restrict knowledge of Venona within the government (even the CIA was not made an active partner until 1952). Army Chief of Staff Omar Bradley, concerned about the White House's history of leaking sensitive information, decided to deny President Truman direct knowledge of the project. The president received the substance of the material only through FBI, Justice Department, and CIA reports on counterintelligence and intelligence matters. He was not told the material came from decoded Soviet ciphers. To some degree this secrecy was counter-productive; Truman was distrustful of FBI head J. Edgar Hoover and suspected the reports were exaggerated for political purposes....

Black bag operations (or black bag jobs) are covert or clandestine surreptitious entries into structures to obtain information for human intelligence operations.. This usually entails breaking and entering into denied areas. Some of the tactics, techniques and procedures associated with black bag operations are: lock picking, safe cracking, key impressions, fingerprinting, photography, electronic surveillance (including audio and video surveillance), mail manipulation (flaps and seals), forgery, and a host of other related skills. The term "black bag" refers to the little black bag in which burglars carry their tools...The British, Israeli, Russian, and other intelligence agencies are known to use black-bag operations to steal secrets.. When the technique is used to obtain codes it may be called Black-bag cryptanalysis...

In espionage jargon, a mole (also called a penetration agent, deep cover agent, or sleeper agent) is a long-term spy who is recruited before he has access to secret intelligence, and subsequently works his way into the target organization..However it is popularly used to mean any long-term clandestine spy or informant within an organization, whether government or private...The term was introduced to the public by British spy novelist John Le Carré in his 1974 novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy...
A mole may be recruited early in life, and may take decades to get a job in government service and reach a position of access to secret information before he becomes active as a spy. Perhaps the most famous examples of moles are the Cambridge 5, five upper-class British men recruited by the KGB as left-wing students at Cambridge University in the 1930s who later rose to high levels in various parts of the British government...
Agents of influence are often the most difficult agents to detect, as there is seldom material evidence that connects them with a foreign power, but they can be among the most effective means of influencing foreign opinion and actions as they hold considerable credibility among the target audience.. Most commonly they serve the interests of a foreign power in 1 of 3 ways: either as a controlled agent directly recruited and controlled by a foreign power; as a “trusted contact” that consciously collaborates to advance foreign interests but are not directly recruited or controlled by a foreign power; or as a “useful idiot” that is completely unaware of how their actions further the interests of a foreign power...
