Even a novice teacher earns in Germany from 3 thousand euros per month. Over time, the financial bar is growing: experienced teachers can count on 5 thousand euros and even more.

And for this it is enough to work a standard 40-hour working week, and not to plow for one and a half or two rates. Marianna Novoselova teaches linguistics at a German University. She said that the workload of teachers is not too great: “Usually the teacher 4-5 pairs a week. The rest of the time is spent on scientific work.”

Equally important, mentors ‘ incomes are above the national average

So, they not only in words, but also through a Bank account understand how highly the state and society appreciate this profession. The teacher in the German school is, as a rule, two subjects. Among other things, this rule leaves the administration room for maneuver in case one of the teachers gets sick.

German teachers can be divided into three groups.

The first group is those who have the status of civil servant. Such teachers-the vast majority.

The second group is employees. These experts enter into contracts. The size of their salary is determined by the tariff agreement, deduct from it, in addition to taxes, contributions to the pension Fund, as well as social and health insurance funds. After all the deductions, contract teachers have about 20 percent less on hand than their fellow officials.

The third group includes specialists who came to teaching, so to speak, from other professions. For example, in parallel with their specialty they studied several semesters of pedagogy at the University or were somehow connected with the field of education.

Such teachers are now actively attracted from the field of MINT (technical and natural Sciences, IT, mathematics). Their salaries are lower than teachers from the first two groups.

And in German schools there is a completely different order

Yulia Plotnikova, who moved to Germany from Russia, said – – I envy the children here: the lessons are fun, everyone wants to answer, pulling hands. Quite a different atmosphere-the teacher is not an authoritarian person. The children can come and hug you. Of course, there are different teachers. But those who with pursed lips the entire lesson broadcast at the blackboard, very few.

German schools have gone years 50-70 forward on the level of teaching.

What I studied at the Russian University as modern pedagogy in Germany was called the history of pedagogy. Alas, it seems we Germans are the profession has very little to do…

The German government has abolished tuition fees in Universities

In Germany, abolished tuition fees at universities. Starting from the second semester of 2019, higher education in all universities in Germany will be absolutely free for both citizens and foreigners. The final stage of the reform was the abolition of tuition fees in the land of lower Saxony.

To understand who finances higher education in Germany, and how it was possible to make it free, you need to know two things.

First, Germany is a Federal state, consisting of 16 Autonomous States, which independently determine the policy of education and culture.

Second, the German higher education system, which consists of 379 higher education institutions with 2.4 million students, is a state-funded system. At the same time, there are a small number of private educational institutions, however, their share is small and less than 5% of the total number of students study there.

By the way, education in Germany is considered one of the best in Europe. According to the Times Higher Education (THE) magazine’s international ranking, there are 4 universities from Germany among the top 20 European universities.

The post HOW TEACHERS WORK IN GERMANY first appeared on Global Policy.

Degradation. The solution to the problem: “People have changed – the quality of leadership has fallen.” To teach these children a strategy that allows them to outplay future elite competitors from other countries in 30-40 years, when these students come to power.

To remain faithful to tradition and country

Young people like to rebel against the foundations of their ancestors – such a “protest” needs immunity. As we know the USSR destroyed the grandchildren of those who created it-because they were tempted to the buns of capitalism and wanted change and power. Educate the elite should be so that they do not hit in the head to break what their grandparents created a huge price – risking their lives!

It is important that the elite did not kill each other

About the consequences of the war Of the scarlet and white roses-the British remember when to know each other almost destroyed and give elite status had to distant relatives of the dead. In the 20th century, Russia twice went through civil wars.

In the 90’s there was a quiet civil war during which more than 1 million men who participated in the division of Russian, i.e. their own property, and about 10 million citizens died from the consequences of these clashes.

Karma or God does not hit with a stick

No one is protected from cancer, serious incomprehensible diseases, infertility, sudden deaths. The British lost a hundred years ‘ war in France. Because at some point, when it remains to capture the last French city, Orleans – suddenly died English king Henry V, and the French appeared Jean D’arc and the course of the war changed.

Depression, guilt, disappointment.

In order to maintain world domination, whole Nations have to be killed and genocided. This is the potential for a youth riot, against the “methods of descendants”. Gaidar lived 53 years, they say at the end of his life he washed down. Berezovsky also fell down, although he was an idol for fans of walking on their heads. And I know for sure that many people were shocked when he suddenly “died” in 67 years.

These people want to live much more-100 years at least and die in a warm bed with honor, without remorse, and not in prison, on the gallows, in a mental hospital or drowning in alcohol from depression.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BRITISH ELITE

Purity of elites

Everyone remembers the Trojan horse story. Not that anyone in the future from talented outsiders, “charming and attractive” want to go one way or another in this circle of the elect, that risks undermining their well-being. The closure of the entrance to the elite, for outsiders need for self-preservation of the elite.

3 words, which hate the British: money, emotions and truth

Money they “don’t like” – only conditionally, considering that the last 400 years they only also were engaged in a robbery of all to whom reached, including own citizens. It is impossible to admit that love money and for them are ready for everything – then the whole world will turn away from them and will rebel against them.

There is such an expression – good intentions lead to hell, which means that under the mask of “good intentions” — you can sell people any delusional idea against themselves. As deindustrialization of Russia in the 90’s under the guise of closing dirty and harmful to people production. Abandoning agriculture for almost the same reason.

But if people suspect that there is money behind everything-they turn on the brain and start a serious resistance, and then the soft power does not work.

On emotions can be anyone anywhere to read and calculate on a few steps forward. And emotions interfere with making the right decisions.

It is known that decisions are made on 70% emotionally and only 30% logic. Emotions means the space for manipulation: from intimidation to fraud and bribery in beautiful wrappers for the purpose of constraint make the right decision.

Well, the truth hurts, but a half-truth worse than a lie. If you know the truth-you can calculate the steps of anyone and for as long as you want.

Linguistic class

North and South-different people and ethnic groups. The British elite is the South. There was only one country in the world that spoke one dialect across and down – the USSR, from Brest to Vladivostok, there are no other such countries. This is a classic divide and rule – so that people and regional leaders could not agree among themselves against their superiors. (I hope “Stairway to Heaven”, Shcheglova and Hazin you read.)

Look at the old Soviet film “Pygmalion” -which shows how differently spoken in Britain in different provinces, but it is quite small in size country. Similarly, India has more than 60 official languages. They will never be able to agree among themselves and change something in the caste system.

In the modern world there is a linguistic classiness, and there is also a division in the manner of speaking on the rural and urban, modern and lagging behind life. And the manner of speaking can not only cause irritation, but also hatred. Built-in conflict, out of the blue.

Good higher education strongly rests on the knowledge of the language. For those who speak poorly – many universities are closed by default. In the West, the poor speak their native language poorly. Look how many little understood idioms in English and how much they distort their language. For the uneducated, even the subtitles made the news.

Not that legal, but even the official language of the lower layer is incomprehensible. It is easy to deceive such people. Well, manner of speaking with citations or reasoning of philosophers on philosophical topics – a method of determining a stranger.

All to maintain power.

Chav and Posh-cattle and the middle, caste in society

Copy India – thanks to the castes in India has never been revolutions. More precisely, 1 time, but it does not count. Even the threat of revolution in India was not. Even the USSR was not an example for them and they did not have to create a middle class to maintain power, as capitalists. A very tempting example – I would even say a dream. This is what they are preparing for us in the future.

Castes-a sentence and will not be able to escape 99.99% of the population. And those that break out-nothing can change. In English society 5 castes, and on other data 7.

The division between North and South begins on the outskirts of London. It means that the internal structure of the country is a colonial system. London and a little South-metropolis, the rest of the colony.

Well, about as now in Russia – Moscow, through which passes 80% of the money, financially strangles the whole country. Attracts the best staff from the country and abroad – without having to pay a lot and spend on their training, education and social protection.

In the early 2000s, St. Petersburg was suffocating from lack of money – I remember how near the subway there were cots with second hand clothes. Then came Putin and the situation has improved a little.

The attraction of many visitors to Moscow-embeds conflict in society, which blocks the situation from changing, “all the fervor goes into the whistle” to fight domestic issues-on the street you are unlikely to pull them out.

London-attracts and thereby steals the best staff from around the world, saves on education and social benefits a lot of money. Thus does not allow the proletariat to turn around, to arise.

Establishment is not an elite – it is the upper middle class.

Stiff upper lip-never show emotion

Well, either you read like a book, and you’re guaranteed to lose. In fact, the policy of the Anglo-Saxons-a bluff, a long 400 years. Therefore it is necessary to train to bluff in long for decades-it is possible only at full atrophy of emotions that they also introduce from 6 years.

Closed school from 6 years – Public School

And this is the key point. Almost complete abandonment of parenting, from caring for them, from creating them the security and space of parental love. Placing them in a separate school for education means reformatting of consciousness and psyche.

Cruel to children. Parent even the most frostbitten will not be able to break the psyche of the child personally – still by nature we love our offspring and pamper, indulge, become attached to them. Thus, we make them weak and vulnerable rulers, but living people.

Everything is at stake here! Let them be with a frostbitten heart, but the rulers of the whole world.

Before 6 years is impossible, because there will be serious disturbances in the psyche, later 6, later – the result will not be achieved.

Before 6 years is impossible, because there will be serious disturbances in the psyche, later 6, later – the result will not be achieved.

Conscious suffering of children

It is a mandatory tool for their reformatting. The expression of emotion in 6 years, is considered a sign of weakness – i.e. the rat race for survival with 6 years. Emotions take root. This means that when the question arises, and it will arise – to detonate an entire innocent people, including women and young children – their hand will not waver for a second. Beg for mercy through tears, pity and crawling on his knees-will not work, it does not touch them at all. Their hearts are frozen.

You can find on YouTube a record with a question from a journalist to Madeleine Albright – whether the invasion of Iraq cost the death of 500 thousand Iraqi children. It is without a drop of embarrassment, without flinching responded, Yes, it was.

Education of hypocrisy, raised to a degree from 6 years

Sneaky, insidious and hypocritical – a priori has an advantage in politics and business in relation to others. Hypocrisy, elevated to a degree-is the main competitive advantage over other elites.

Hypocritical can beat only the wise and unselfish with a pure/open heart, but those are easy to slander, and in politics are not allowed and never allowed. In the upper echelons of power such people are very rare.

System of codes and school rituals

Medals, promotions, uniforms, ties, class hatred. The study of philosophy, for example, forms a special language of communication, a picture of the world and dislike for those who do not understand such “elementary things”. Building-system your alien and secure lock at the entrance.

Religious fanatical self-confidence

Self-confidence is the most, the most, the most key skill in life. It is the backbone or pillar of your success, if I may say so – that strung your all, Yes you are.

Confident in front of baffled even those who are stronger and right. Confident leaders influence people like hypnosis. Confidence in itself is strength. It is very difficult to bring up a skill, so you should start from childhood. Our schools don’t even think about it.

In a good way, confidence should be based on something-facts, skills, knowledge, skills, natural strength, advantage, or something else. Religious certainty doesn’t need any base is fanatical, very strong.

I’m better because I’m just better without any explanation or reason – try to convince such a fanatic, well, or at least not to give in to him! Confidence cannot be played or simulated. Even such masters of the bluff and theatergoers as the British. Confidence must be in the blood, in the brain,in every cell of the body, otherwise it is not considered. And only then it works.

Religious confidence makes people fanatics. Well, the fact that most successful people were fanatics is a well – known fact. Here is their education preparing fanatics.

Confidence-will also give part of the immunity from depression, guilt, regret and the like – for any crimes. The wolf does not and cannot have feelings of guilt, regret or depression because he ate a sheep.

It also means that class hatred is the key to self-preservation and protection from karma. If we assume that all people are created in the likeness of God – then the protection will not work.

Fanatical confidence is “lack of” is to maintain it regularly to kill someone and someone is constantly humiliated.

Fanatical confidence protects against bad karma

A person who has confidence on the level of God – can not have bad karma, because he is the Creator of all things. God doesn’t punish himself. And karma is still built at the subconscious level at the time of socialization, but by nature or from God it is not.

The usual Earthman karma will not be able to circumvent in any way, even there is almost no chance. But with elite education from childhood, you can build processes that protect against it.

You can write a separate article or even a book about the ways of avoiding karma among the elites. They are very sensitive to this issue. Briefly a few paragraphs still write.

Karma came up with yoga guru Hindus to maintain the caste system and the people in subjection. Thousands of years of inequality and exploitation of the masses in India – confirms that karma does not exist – the elites did not have anything for it.

What is called the ” laws of nature “or karma – something like” sow the wind, reap the storm, “” do good and get good in return ” and other crap-at some point is realized – it is an illusion. But without a game of karma can ” go roof.”

Therefore, Castaneda proposed to continue to adhere to these laws, as if karma or the laws of nature – exist. Elite this method is not suitable.

The British elite against karma is saved in the system of rituals. If the elite will live with karma-then again, they will not be able to betray, Rob, kill and genocide the innocent, and therefore risk losing power.

“Don’t let your morality get in the way of making the right decisions», — Isaac Asimov “The Academy.”

This is their motto, what kind of karma can we talk about? They have to map the power set of all – they won’t stop and such are brought up initially.

Violence at school is a mandatory element of consciousness formatting

Earlier parting with the family, deprivation of normal relations and the atmosphere of love, care, security and getting into the lair of predators in which their parents give their own hands. Very cruel step – I can not even imagine how many children cry the first years.

Beatings and bullying – mandatory element of of special training duplicity and suppression of of emotions. Never cry, never show enthusiasm, desires and other things-otherwise beat. Do not warn about this rule – the maximum approximation to the “real conditions” that await them in the future, in politics.

In movies sometimes slip the footage of the brutal initiation rites of the elite of the Anglo-Saxon schools, with beatings and humiliation, which is compulsory.

So we came to the most key skill, brought up in British schools. Actually, it was under him, and it was necessary to abandon parents to create a school with full Board. Violence and lack of love are key ingredients for “nurturing” who? Who knows? Try to guess!

Yes, for the education of psycho serial killers! And some just enough to witness the crime and live without love, to continue to become maniacs. They were motivated by such a desire for violence and bloodlust that they could not stop until they were stopped by others.

Age in 6 years and here it is no coincidence chosen. If earlier – it’ll definitely be maniacs, serial killers. And after 7 years the skill of a predator may not be vaccinated. The British educate their children polymenakou – perfect predators. This is their main secret of elite education. I don’t think you’d want to raise your kids the same way. Although uncertain about liberals, but most do not have children.

Of course, that with this education there is guaranteed a deep urge to kill, which they are not able to resist! What they actually do all their story. Of not having explanations for all this – the roof goes. Accumulated sadness, a split personality, for the secret itself, and the public itself. Spies are also made in a private school-the method is quite possible.

It is believed that the Anglo-Saxons kill to Rob and steal other people’s wealth. But with this education we all can argue what comes first in their political culture – a robbery or murder. Most likely the second-it turns into need at such education.

British private school-the most successful eugenic project

HARVARD COLLEGE. HIGHER ANAL EDUCATION

After all the above, there are no comments. According to the Professor, Saveliev-negative selection or evolution lasts thousands of years. And here it is raised to a power.

“Try to negotiate with the crocodile»

It is dangerous that the Russian elite sends their children to study there. It is an alien culture to outsiders and is incompatible with nothing else. And for their existence we need a serious system of checks and balances. Otherwise it will be a war and the type of the roses.

Therapists specializing in the problems of graduates of private schools

And the problems are delicate. You can’t tell them to anyone. Well, imagine a representative of the elite comes to the psychotherapist and says: next to his house there is a neighbor’s girl of 8 years, such a cutie that he wants to rape her, and then kill her. Or kill and then rape.

Well, or dad brings his son, who is engaged in this periodically, and the police are tired of covering. Well, how to treat this? Or run to the police? Naturally, they would not tell anyone such a problem-only a kindred soul, which in itself understands the severity of the situation and the “pain” that the patient feels.

That is why The British elite has problems with pedophilia and periodically such scandals emerge because the scale can not be hidden. At least something needs to be let out, to bleed, so to speak, otherwise the people will revolt. That is why they want to legitimize pedophilia – ie out of the risk zone.

And Nabokov’s novel Lolita was like milk on the soul. Nabokov 4 times nominated for the Nobel prize, but probably afraid to give – too scandalous topic.

In any case, about pedophilia Anglo – Saxon elites now POPs up a lot of information-trump is actively pedaling this topic, hundreds of people from establishment-and in the States were publicly exposed as pedophiles, and some were convicted. He hits their most vulnerable spot. There will be new revelations. Although definitely not all expose – it’s impossible, they are all like that.

That is why they are drawn to sex with elements of sadomasochism – such people are very difficult to relax otherwise. As far as I know, sadomaso doesn’t take root anywhere else, like they do. The second way to relax for palomnikov to kill. I think that’s enough to make a wooden stake.

What conclusions can be drawn?

They are very dangerous and it is impossible to make friends with them – they will deceive and kill in any case. The manifestation of a moment of weakness at the state level-like death.

If they are not stopped, they will destroy the entire planet. It is impossible to cure or limit such a need, so they always betray and will betray.

They are intelligent, but not smarter than us, and do not possess supernatural mental skills or wisdom. Half-maniacs are serial killers. Predatory cunning and meanness, coupled with fanatical self – confidence and faith in impunity-that’s their main “elite skill”. In other words-they can be replayed, there would be a desire.

The post HOW TO EDUCATE THE BRITISH ELITE first appeared on Global Policy.

According to a well-informed source, this meeting, which took place about ten years ago, the scouts prepared a few months. Through a shell company, they funded and organized a conference at an unrelated international science center, invited participants and brought their people into the ranks of the maintenance staff — all in order to lure a nuclear worker from Iran, separate him from the guards for a few minutes and talk to him one-on-one. At the last moment, the plan almost fell through: the scientist changed the hotel, because the hotel offered by the conference cost 75 dollars more than the Iranians were willing to spend.

To demonstrate sincerity and goodwill, the agent had a hand to heart. “Salam, Habibi,’ he said. “I’m from the CIA and I want you to fly with me to the United States.” On the Iranian’s face was a mixture of surprise, fear and curiosity. The agent already had experience with defectors, so he understood well what questions swarmed in the head of the scientist: what will happen to my family? How will you protect me? Where will I live and for what? How do I obtain a visa? Will I have time to pack? What happens if I say no? The scientist had already opened his mouth to ask something, but the interlocutor interrupted him: “first, take a bucket of ice.” “Why?» “If your guards Wake up, tell them you went for the ice.”

Carrying out probably the most daring and complex plan in its history to invade the academic world, the CIA secretly spent millions of dollars on the organization of scientific conferences in different countries. His goal was to lure Iranian nuclear scientists from Iran into a more favorable environment, where intelligence representatives could work individually with them and convince them to change sides. In other words, the Agency tried to delay the development of the Iranian nuclear program, using the international nature of the academic environment. To this end, it was forced to resort to large-scale deception and mislead both the structures that held these conferences and the scientists who spoke at them. Participants of scientific events did not even suspect that they were involved in the staging, only simulating reality. You can argue about how tasks national security to justify such manipulation of the professors, however, do not doubt that most scientists disagreed that the CIA may use them as “dummy”.

Conferences – the most convenient side of scientific life for espionage

Thanks to globalization, this social and intellectual ritual has become widespread. Like Golf and tennis tournaments, they are held wherever the climate is favorable enough — and in the same way attract a successful audience. Although scientists are constantly communicating with each other remotely, virtual communication is not a substitute for personal meetings, allowing you to make useful connections, look at new devices and read the report, which will later be released in the collection. “This engaging conference, wrote the English novelist David Lodge (David Lodge) in 1984, in his satire on academic life called “small World” — they allow you to combine useful with pleasant, that is, professional occupations in tourism, the money from someone else’s pocket. Wrote an article — see the world” (op.CIT. by lane O. E. Makarova).

The importance of the conference can now be measured not only by the number of Nobel laureates or Oxford professors who participate, but also by the number of spies. American and foreign intelligence are drawn to conferences for the same reasons that army recruiters are drawn to poor areas: there is most production. If a certain University can have only a couple of professors who are interested in the security services, then at the right conference-say, drones or ISIS (an organization banned in Russia — approx. TRANS.)- there may be dozens of them.

“Every intelligence Agency in the world works with conferences, sponsors conferences and looks for ways to send their people to conferences,” a former CIA officer told me.

“Recruitment is a long process of seduction,” says mark Galeotti, a senior researcher at the Prague Institute for international studies (Mark Galeotti), a former special adviser to the British Ministry of foreign Affairs. — First you need to be on the same partition with the object. Even if you just exchange a couple of meaningless remarks, next time you can already say, “I think I saw you in Istanbul?”».

The FBI warned in 2011, American scientists to be cautious conferences, outlining this scenario: “the Researcher suddenly receives an invitation to send abstracts to an international conference. She sends them and receives an invitation. At the conference, a representative of the host party asks her for a presentation, attaches the flash drive to her laptop and quietly downloads all files and data from it.”

The FBI and the CIA also do not leave the conference without attention

According to a former FBI agent, at events in the United States, “foreign intelligence agents hunt for Americans, and we hunt for them.” The CIA works with conferences in several different ways: it sends its agents to them, it organizes them through Washington shell companies so that the intelligence community can access scientific knowledge, and it holds fake conferences to get in touch with potential defectors from hostile countries.

The CIA monitors upcoming conferences around the world and identifies those that may be of interest to him. Suppose, for example, Pakistan hosts an international conference on centrifuge. The CIA will either send their undercover agent there or contact the scientist who was going there anyway to write the report. If it finds out that there was someone from the Iranian nuclear industry, it will mark it as a potential target for recruitment at the next event.

Intelligence gathered at academic conferences, can influence policy

For example, they helped convince the George W. Bush administration that Saddam Hussein continued to develop weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (which proved to be untrue). “Our staff and informants, of course, noticed that Iraqi scientists involved in chemistry, biology and, to a lesser extent, nuclear physics, continued to appear at international symposia — wrote in 2009 in his memoirs, a former CIA officer John kiriaku (John Kiriaku), specializing in the fight against terrorism. “They made reports, listened to other people’s speeches, actively took notes and returned to Jordan, from where they went by land to Iraq.”

Perhaps the scouts sometimes making invalid conclusions, due to the fact that among them there were few professional chemists, biologists and nuclear physicists. Without specialized education can be misunderstood what is at stake. In addition, the stranger is more likely to get caught. At conferences held in Vienna International atomic energy Agency on topics such as isotope hydrology, and nuclear fusion, spies probably has more than scientists, says gene Coyle (Gene Coyle), who worked for the CIA from 1976 to 2006: “There is only one little problem. When you send an agent to a conference like this, he has to keep talking. A man with a degree in history is very difficult to pretend to be a specialist in plasma physics. In addition, it is a very small world. If an agent, for example, says that he works at the Chicago Fermi Institute, he will immediately be asked how Bob, Fred and Susie are doing.”

Therefore, according to Coyle, the office attracts people from the scientific world through the Sector of national resources — its secret internal service, “cooperating” with many scientists. “After learning, say, about a suitable conference in Vienna, they ask Professor Smith if he will be there.”

“Smith might say, Yes, I’m going there and then I’ll let you know who I’ve been in contact with. If I run into any Iranian, I will not run away from him.” If he says he would love to go, but the University doesn’t have the funds, the CIA or the FBI can say, “Well, maybe we can get you a ticket — in economy class.”

***

Recruitment of a scientist often begins with an allegedly random meeting — as experts say “first contact” – at the conference. One former CIA officer — let’s call him R. — explained to me how it works.
“I recruited a lot of people at conferences, “he says. – I was good at it — but, however, it’s easy.”

In between assignments, he studied the list of upcoming conferences, chose one of them and found out which of the interested scientists participated in it in the previous years at least twice, and therefore likely to visit it again. He then instructed interns from the CIA and the national security Agency to prepare a profile of the facility-where he studied, from whom, and so on. Then he telegraphed his superiors, asking for funding. The request had to be sufficiently persuasive for the office to allocate the money, but sufficiently unconvincing that other agents who would become familiar with it and who were closer to the conference venue would not hunt for the same object.

Then R. developed a cover. He used to be a businessman. He came up with the name of the company, built a standard website, printed business cards, created for a non-existent company documents, phone and credit card data. He also chose which of his several aliases he would use this time.

R. was not a scientist and could not easily start a conversation about the hypothesis of Riemann. Therefore, he, realizing that most scientists are introverts and have difficulty communicating, turned to the object before the reception: “you also do not like crowded events?”After that R. stepped aside. “The first contact should be fleeting,”he believes,” it is Important that your face is simply remembered.” In this case, no one should notice such contact. A typical beginner’s mistake is to start a conversation in the presence of people who may be observers assigned to the scientist by the authorities of his country. If they report this conversation, the security of the facility will be at risk, and he will not be able — and will not want — to go to further contacts.

The rest of the time R. “rushed like crazy”, trying to contact the scientist at every opportunity. With each interaction (in CIA jargon they are called “time at the object” and are taken into account when measuring the efficiency of work), he tried to win the sympathy of the object. This has been helped by the habit to get well prepared for recruitment. Let’s say he told the subject that he’d read an amazing article on a subject, but he couldn’t remember the author. He was embarrassed and admitted that this is his article.

After a couple of days, R. invited the scientist to lunch or dinner and threw a fishing rod — said that his company is extremely interested in the subject on which the object works, and would like to support his work. “All the scientists I know are constantly looking for grants to Finance their research. They only talk about it,” he says. They discussed the scientific project and the amount that varied depending on the country: “for Pakistanis it is usually from 1000 to 5000 dollars, for Koreans — more.” After the Professor receives money from the CIA, he, even if the source of funding is unknown to him, becomes dependent, because at home exposure can jeopardize his career — and sometimes life.

Scientific conference of so drawn to intelligence that the CIA almost first began to fear the intervention of the colleagues in office, chasing the same academic production. “We navodayam such actions,” — says a retired tsereushnik, writing under the pseudonym Ishmael Jones (@Ishmael Jones), in his book in 2008 called “the Human factor: inside look at ineffective intelligence culture of the CIA” (“The Human Factor: Inside the CIA”s Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture”).

Jones writes that in 2005, having come to a conference in Paris, which seemed to him “a suitable feeder for weapons developers working for rogue States”, he fell in spirit when he noticed two other CIA agents (and part-time scientists) in the hall. This, however, did not prevent him, trying not to catch their eye, scour the room, consider the badges of participants and seek out “potential sources of information”, ideally — from North Korea, Iran, Libya, Russia or China.

“I am surprised how large the open presence of special services at such events — said Karsten Geier (Karsten Geier). – At every step you come across people from abbreviation offices”. We spoke with Geyer, who is responsible for cybersecurity policy at the German foreign Ministry, at the Sixth annual international conference on cybersecurity, which was held on April 26, 2016 at Georgetown University in Washington. On it, program reports on the confrontation of one of the main challenges of the 21st century — cyber attacks — were made by the leaders of the NSA and the FBI. Objects of religious art, stained glass Windows and classic quotes that adorn the Gaston hall, where it all happened, looked on this background something like a carefully designed cover.

Among the speakers were a former chief cryptanalyst from the NSA, a former Chairman of the National intelligence Council, Deputy Director of the Italian security service and Director of the center conducting classified research for Swedish intelligence. Judging by the badges of the participants (there were 700 of them), the vast majority of them worked for the American government, foreign embassies, contractors cooperating with the security services, and companies that produce products that are related to cybersecurity — or taught at universities.

Probably not all intelligence presence was open. 40 countries — from Brazil to Mauritius, from Serbia to Sri Lanka-but not Russia were officially represented at the conference. However, at the same time in the audience, in the gallery, a thin young man with a briefcase, listening to the reports, was spinning. He didn’t have a badge. I approached him, introduced myself and asked his name. “Alexander,” he said. Then, hesitated and added: “Belousov. “How do you like the conference?» “I don’t know,” he said, obviously trying to avoid further questioning. – I’m from the Russian Embassy, I’m not an expert, just trying to understand.” I handed him a business card, but he refused to give me his, “I’ve only been here a month, my cards haven’t been printed yet.” I did not lag behind and began to ask him about his position in the Embassy (later it turned out that in the diplomatic Handbook he is listed as “second Secretary”). In response, he only looked at his watch: “Sorry, I have to go.”

When the CIA wants to know the opinion of Professor John booth (John Booth), call him and ask if he could participate in the conference. At the same time, the name of the Department is not on the official invitation and in the program of the event, the formal sponsor of which is one of the Washington contractor companies.

Hiding his involvement, the CIA makes life easier for scientists

This allows them to indicate their participation in conferences on resumes without disclosing that they actually consulted with the CIA. Such information could not only incite some of their colleagues in science against them, but also damage their reputation in the countries in which they conduct research.

Booth, Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of North Texas, specializes in Latin America. In this region, historical experience has taught officials to be wary of the CIA. “If you’re going to travel to Latin America, it’s very important that you don’t have certain things in your biography”, Booth explained to me in March 2016. – When you go to such conference even if it is carried out by intelligence services or military, in the summary it isn’t reflected. Participants need such a Fig leaf also because there are still some biases in academic circles. For example, at the events of Latin Americans, I will not tell you that I recently participated in a conference organized by the CIA.

The CIA holds conferences on foreign policy issues so that its analysts familiar with classified information can learn from researchers who see the picture as a whole and are familiar with open sources. Professors usually pay $ 1,000 in the idea of the fee and compensate for the costs. The events themselves look like an ordinary scientific conference with reports and questions to the speakers — minus the fact that many participants (as you can assume, CIA analysts) wear badges, which indicate only the name.

Of the ten intelligence conferences that Booth attended — the last of which was held in 2015 and was dedicated to the wave of refugee children from Central America that swept the United States-only two were held directly by the CIA and the Office of the Director of national intelligence [ADNR]. The rest was engaged in the company Centra Technology Inc-one of the leading Washington intermediary firms (“pads”, as they are called), which organize conferences for the CIA.

The CIA provides Centra with funding and tells us who to invite. The events themselves take place at the Centra Convention center in Arlington, Virginia. As reported on the company’s website, it is “an ideal place for conferences, meetings, games and joint events held by our customers.”

“Those who in the subject, when you see the Centra conference, you know that we are talking about the CIA or about the of the Academy, — said the Professor of international politics at Columbia University Robert Jervis (Robert Jervis), a long time consultant to the CIA. “They understand that some scientists benefit from formal cover.”

Centra, established in 1997, has since received more than $ 200 million in government contracts, including $ 40 million from the CIA for organizational support — in particular, for the selection and editing of classified dispatches for the Senate intelligence Committee, five years of studying the practice of torture Department. In 2015, the company’s management consisted of many retired high-ranking intelligence officers. Its founder and head of the Harold Rosenbaum (Harold Rosenbaum) was a scientific and technical consultant to the CIA. Senior Vice President Rick Bogusky (Rick Bogusky) headed the Korean Department in the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of defense. Vice President for research James Harris (James Harris) 22 years led the research projects of the CIA. Director of international Affairs Peggy Lyons (Peggy Lyons), has long been a CIA agent, several times sent to East Asia, held administrative positions in the office. David Kanin, Director of analytical work, worked for 31 years in the CIA as an analyst.

A political scientist from the University of Indiana. Sumit (Sumit Ganguly) spoke at several conferences Centra. “Everyone who cooperates with Centra knows that they are actually working for the us government,” he says. – If events were held by the CIA itself, some would be nervous. As for me, I’m not embarrassed in front of my colleagues. If they don’t like something, it’s their problem. I am an American citizen and I am always ready to give my government good advice.”

According to another political scientist, who made four reports at Centra events, he was told that the company represents some unnamed “clients”. He realized that we are talking about the us intelligence services, only when he saw in the audience of people with badges without names, with the same names. Then he met some of them at another academic conference. They did not have badges, and they did not appear in the program.

Centra’s trying to mask its ties to the CIA. In 2015, it has removed from its website the biography of leadership. Among the” leading customers ” on the site mentioned the Ministry of internal security, the FBI, Land forces and 16 Federal government agencies — but not the CIA. When I called Rosenbaum and asked him if Centra was holding a conference for the CIA, he said, ” That’s not where you’re calling. We have nothing to do with it,” and hung up.

Then I came to the office Centra, located in Burlington, Massachusetts, a Northern suburb of Boston. It is located on the fifth floor. In the logbook all visitors are asked to indicate citizenship and “type of visit” – secret or unclassified. The receptionist led the Director of human resources Diane Colpitts (Dianne Colpitts). She politely listened to me, contacted Rosenbaum, and said that Centra would not comment on anything. “To be honest,” she added, ” our customers prefer that we do not communicate with the press.”

For Iranian academics fleeing to the West, a scientific conference has turned into the modern equivalent of the underground railroad. The CIA is actively using it. As the head of the Institute of science and international security David Albright (David Albright) told me, since the time of President George W. Bush, the US government has allocated “unlimited funds” for covert operations to slow down Iranian efforts to develop nuclear weapons. In particular, the CIA organized an operation “brain Drain”, the purpose of which was to push the leading Iranian nuclear scientists to flee to America.

As a former intelligence officer explained to me, it was difficult to get to scientists in Iran itself, and so the CIA lured them to friendly and neutral countries at the conference. Management, in consultation with the Israelis, chose the object for development. Then it organized a conference at a famous scientific Institute. To do this, we used a “gasket” — usually some entrepreneur, allegedly allocated for the event (at the expense of the CIA) the amount of 500,000 dollars to 2 million dollars. It could be the owner of a technology company — or intelligence could specifically create a shell company for him, so that his sponsorship did not cause suspicion in the Institute, which should not have been aware of the involvement of the CIA. “The less you know, the scientists, the safer the situation for everyone,” says the former tsereushnik. The pads knew they were working for the CIA, but they didn’t know the purpose of the job — and the Agency only used them once.

The conference was to be devoted to one of the aspects of nuclear physics having peaceful application, as well as to correspond to the research interests of the facility. Iranian nuclear scientists usually work in universities at the same time. Like any Professor, they love to travel at someone else’s expense. The Iranian government has allowed them to occasionally attend conferences-even if under protection-to keep up with the latest research and to get acquainted with suppliers of modern technology. In addition, it was of propaganda value.

“From the Iranian point of view, it certainly made sense to send scientists to the conference on the peaceful use of nuclear energy,” Ronen Bergman (Ronen Bergman) told me. Bergman is a prominent Israeli journalist, published a book “the secret war with Iran: 30 years of a hidden struggle with the most dangerous terrorist country in the world” (“the secret war with Iran: the 30-year clandestine struggle against the most dangerous terrorist power”) and is now working on a political history of the Israeli intelligence — Mossad. “It was advantageous for them to say that they were sending their researchers to the conference to then use peaceful technologies for peaceful purposes.”

A CIA agent leading the operation, was able to impersonate a student, a technical consultant or representative of the company with an exhibition stand. His first task was to rid the scientist of the guards. Let’s say there was a case where a CIA-recruited kitchen staff poisoned the guards ‘ food with a drug that caused them to vomit and diarrhea. The calculation was that they will carry the disease at the expense of eaten on the plane lunch or unusual cuisine.

With some luck, the agent was able to catch the object alone for a few minutes and talk to him. Usually before that, the intelligence agent carefully studied the Iranian-read the file and talked with “access agents” who were in direct contact with him. As a result, if the scientist doubted whether he was really dealing with the CIA, the scout could say that he knew everything about it — and prove it. For example, one agent told a potential defector, “I know you had cancer and had your left testicle removed.

Even after the scientist agreed to switch sides, he could change his mind and escape. “He had to constantly recruit, again and again,” explains the former intelligence agent. Even when he was already sitting in the car going to the airport, and the CIA together with allied intelligence services organized a visa and tickets. The CIA also made every effort to take his wife and children to the United States — but not his mistress, as one of the defectors demanded. The office provided him and his family with housing and certain long — term benefits-in particular, paid for the higher education of his children.
As I was told by a competent source from among the former employees of CIA, in the USA — through conferences and not only — scientists ran enough to seriously brake the Iranian nuclear program. According to him, the engineer who built centrifuges for the Iranians agreed to flee on one condition: that he would be allowed to defend his thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of technology. Unfortunately, the CIA took him out of Iran without documents – including without diplomas. Therefore, the MTI first, and then the CIA turned him down. However, in the end, the Agency insisted, and the famous engineering UNIVERSITY agreed to meet the scouts and cancel the formalities. To test the defector, a group of professors from different departments was assembled. He brilliantly passed the oral exam, was admitted to graduate school and defended himself.

MIT Administration claims that they know nothing about it. “I’ve never heard anything like it,” said the head of the Department of mechanical engineering, Gan Chen (Chen gang). However, two academic sources confirmed the credibility of the story at key points. Muhammad Sahimi, Professor of oil field studies at the University of southern California (Mohammad Sahimi), who studies Iranian policy in the nuclear industry, said that a defector who worked in the Iranian nuclear program defended his thesis at MIT on mechanical engineering. Professor of mechanical engineering from MIT Timothy gutovsky (Timothy Gutovsky), in turn, said: “in our laboratory worked one guy. One day I learned that in Iran he was dealing with centrifuges, and I wondered how we had it.”

Due to the fact that in 2015 Iran agreed to limit — in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions — the development of nuclear weapons, the issue of recruiting defectors from the Iranian nuclear program has partially lost importance for us intelligence. However, if President trump abandons this deal, which he condemned in his September speech to the UN General Assembly, or decides to revise it, the CIA can once again engage in a secret hunt for prominent Iranian nuclear scientists with the help of staged conferences.

THE METHOD OF DIVIDING NUMBERS IN ENGLISH SCHOOL

On a piece of paper is written the number 15. It is encircled by a circle, and three legs are drawn to the Cup. That’s 3. And then in front of each leg consistently put a point until you count to 15. All that remains is to count the points in front of one leg. That’s the correct answer. At first, I thought the kid was doing stuff. I even asked what she made up. On that received the answer:

– Is the school explained how to divide numbers.

I was in shock. After a few seconds I asked:

– Can you divide 200 by 10?

– Ohh, this is a difficult task, – the eight-year-old daughter of my girlfriend answered me, – But I will try.

She wrote the number two hundred, circled, drew 10 feet, and started to put the dots and count.
– For God’s sake stop-I asked, – I can’t look at it.
