Before the CIA, There Was the Pond | Newsmax.com
▻https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/US-Spy-Agency-The-Pond/2010/07/29/id/366034
The head of the Pond was Col. John V. Grombach, a radio producer, businessman and ex-Olympic boxer who kept a small black poodle under his desk. He attended West Point, but didn’t graduate with his class because he had too many demerits, according to a U.S. Army document. His nickname was “Frenchy,” because his father was a Frenchman, who worked in the French Consulate in New Orleans.
The War Department had tapped Grombach to create the secret intelligence branch in 1942 as a foundation for a permanent spy service. Grombach said the main objectives were security and secrecy, unlike the OSS, which he said had been infiltrated by allies and subversives and whose personnel had a “penchant for personal publicity.” It was first known as the Special Service Branch, then as the Special Service Section and finally as the Coverage and Indoctrination Branch.
To the few even aware of its existence, the intelligence network was known by its arcane name, the Pond. Its leaders referred to the G-2 military intelligence agency as the “Lake,” the CIA, which was formed later, was the “Bay,” and the State Department was the “Zoo.” Grombach’s organization engaged in cryptography, political espionage and covert operations. It had clandestine officers in Budapest, London, Lisbon, Madrid, Stockholm, Bombay, Istanbul and elsewhere.
Grombach directed his far-flung operations from an office at the Steinway Hall building in New York, where he worked under the cover of a public relations consultant for Philips. His combative character had earned him a reputation as an opportunist who would “cut the throat of anyone standing in his way,” according to a document in his Army intelligence dossier.
In defining the Pond’s role, Grombach maintained that the covert network sought indirect intelligence from people holding regular jobs in both hostile countries and allied nations — not unlike the Russian spies uncovered in June in the U.S. while living in suburbia and working at newspapers or universities.
The Pond, he wrote in a declassified document put in the National Archives, had a mission “to collect important secret intelligence via many international companies, societies, religious organizations and business and professional men who were willing to cooperate with the U.S. but who would not work with the OSS because it was necessarily integrated with British and French Intelligence and infiltrated by Communists and Russians.”
On April 15, 1953, Grombach wrote that the idea behind his network was to use “observers” who would build long-term relationships and produce far more valuable information than spies who bought secrets. “Information was to be rarely, if ever, bought, and there were to be no paid professional operators; as it later turned out some of the personnel not only paid their own expenses but actually advanced money for the organization’s purposes.”
The CIA, for its part, didn’t think much of the Pond. It concluded that the organization was uncooperative, especially since the outfit refused to divulge its sources, complicating efforts to evaluate their reports. In an August 1952 letter giving notice that the CIA intended to terminate the contract, agency chief Gen. Walter Bedell Smith wrote that “our analysis of the reports provided by this organization has convinced us that its unevaluated product is not worth the cost.” It took until 1955 to completely unwind the relationship.
Mark Stout, a former intelligence officer and historian for the International Spy Museum in Washington, analyzed the newly released papers and said it isn’t clear how important the Pond was to U.S. intelligence-gathering as a whole. “But they were making some real contributions,” he said.
Matthew Aid, an intelligence historian and author of “The Secret Sentry: The Untold History of the National Security Agency” who has reviewed some of the collection, said there was no evidence the Pond’s reports made their way to decision-makers. “I’m still not convinced that Grombach’s organization was a worthwhile endeavor in World War II and even less so when it went off the books,” he said.
What it may have lacked in quality and influence, however, the Pond certainly made up with chutzpah.
One of the outfit’s most unusual informers was a French serial killer named Marcel Petiot, Grombach wrote in a 1980 book.
The Secret Intelligence Branch, as he referred to the Pond, began receiving reports from Petiot during the war. He was a physician in Paris who regularly treated refugees, businessmen and Gestapo agents, but he also had a predilection for killing mostly wealthy Jews and burning their bodies in a basement furnace in his soundproofed house. He was convicted of 26 murders and guillotined in 1946.
Nevertheless, Grombach considered him a valuable informer because of his contacts.
One cable discovered among the newly released papers appears to confirm the Pond was tracking Petiot’s whereabouts. In the undated memo, the writer says Petiot was drawn by a Gestapo agent “into a trap to be arrested by the Germans.” Petiot was briefly arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo.
Such sources were often feeding their reports to top operatives — often businessmen or members of opposition groups. But there were also journalists in the spy ring.
Ruth Fischer, code-named “Alice Miller,” was considered a key Pond agent for eight years, working under her cover as a correspondent, including for the North American Newspaper Alliance. She had been a leader of Germany’s prewar Communist Party and was valuable to the Pond in the early years of the Cold War, pooling intelligence from Stalinists, Marxists and socialists in Europe, Africa and China, according to the newly released documents.
But it was the help from businesses in wartime that was essential to penetrating Axis territories.
The Philips companies, including their U.S. division, gave the Pond money, contacts, radio technology and supported Grombach’s business cover in New York. Philips spokesman Arent Jan Hesselink said the company had business contacts with Grombach between 1937 and 1970. He added that they could not “rule out that there was contact between Philips and Grombach with the intention of furthering central U.S. intelligence during the war.”
The Pond laid the groundwork and devised a detailed postwar plan to integrate its activities into the U.S. Rubber Co.’s business operations in 93 countries. It is unknown if the plan was ever carried out. The Pond also worked with the American Express Co., Remington Rand, Inc. and Chase National Bank, according to documents at the National Archives.
American Express spokeswoman Caitlin Lowie said a search of company archives revealed no evidence of a relationship with Grombach’s organization. Representatives of the other companies or their successors did not respond to requests for comment.
The Pond directed its resources for domestic political ends, as well.
In the 1950s, Grombach began furnishing names to McCarthy on supposed security risks in the U.S. intelligence community. By then, the Pond was a CIA contractor, existing as a quasi-private company, and the agency’s leadership was enraged by Grombach’s actions. It wasn’t long before the Pond’s contract was terminated and the organization largely ceased to exist.

20 ans de mutations des routes maritimes en 4 pages — Géoconfluences
►http://geoconfluences.ens-lyon.fr/actualites/veille/20-ans-mutations-routes-maritimes
L’ISEMAR, Institut supérieur d’économie maritime, situé à Nantes et Saint-Nazaire, a publié en mai 2017 une note de synthèse de 4 pages revenant sur l’évolution du commerce maritime mondial depuis la fin des années 1990 : « 20 ans de mutations des routes maritimes » (pdf).
Le document, très synthétique par sa nature, comporte 6 paragraphes dont nous vous livrons les titres et l’idée générale :
– Une petite histoire des routes maritimes : géohistoire du transport maritime de marchandises à partir du XVe siècle.
– Les routes de la globalisation : Le basculement des flux commerciaux vers l’Asie à partir des années 1990, et la conteneurisation, témoignent d’une multipolarité croissante. Les échanges « Sud–Sud » se développent au cours des deux dernières décennies.
– L’Égypte et son canal : Malgré les efforts égyptiens pour rester un passage obligé, en particulier sur les routes pétrolières et notamment par l’augmentation du gabarit du Canal de Suez, la piraterie dans la région et la diversification des sources d’approvisionnement pétrolier ont généré de nouvelles routes contournant l’Afrique par le cap de Bonne-Espérance.
– Un nouveau canal de Panama : Les travaux d’agrandissement achevés en 2016 ont permis de faire descendre la part de la flotte mondiale ayant un format supérieur à celui de Panama de 55 % à 21 %.
– Vers une thrombose à Malacca : Le détroit crucial pour le Japon l’est devenu aussi pour la Chine, et l’ensemble des États de la région ont réussi à endiguer l’explosion de la piraterie survenue dans les années 2000. Un sixième du transport maritime mondial transite par le tout petit passage du détroit de Philips, face à Singapour.
– Attention médiatique pour la route arctique : À partir des années 2010, l’intérêt pour les routes arctiques a été très médiatisé mais les volumes concernés sont pour l’instant très faibles.

Peut-on souffrir d’innovation excessive ? Il semblerait que oui, répondent Martin Mocker et Jeanne Ross de la Sloan School of Management du MIT pour la Harvard Business Review, en prenant l’exemple de Philips, l’un des conglomérats les plus innovants des années 2000 qui semble s’être noyé dans la diversité des produits (...)

SFR, Alstom, Airbus Helicopters, Philips, PSA, Smart-Daimler, Delphi, Sage, Sanofi : les annonces de plans de suppressions d’emplois et de fermetures de sites pour regrouper la production à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres se succèdent dans de grandes entreprises. Le patronat poursuit sa guerre contre les travailleurs. Pour maintenir les profits des actionnaires au niveau de rentabilité souhaité, il impose une plus grande exploitation aux uns et le désespoir du chômage aux autres.
Face à cette catastrophe sociale, certains candidats à l’Élysée prônent le patriotisme économique comme solution au chômage. Une politique protectionniste favorisant les produits français serait, selon eux, à même de protéger les travailleurs à condition que l’État-nation prime sur les instances supranationales, comme l’Union européenne, qui lui imposeraient une politique de chômage et de régression sociale.
C’est à celui qui glorifiera le mieux le génie français, son savoir-faire et ses compétences, quitte à sombrer dans le ridicule, à l’image de Mélenchon qui, lors de la fin de mission de la sonde Rosetta, écrivait dans un tweet du 30 septembre : « Adieu à Rosetta, dernière mission interplanétaire française. Depuis, rien ! » Au moment où même les plus cocardiers des journalistes prenaient un peu de hauteur pour s’enthousiasmer sur les possibilités offertes par la sonde d’en apprendre davantage sur le système solaire, Mélenchon, à l’horizon borné aux frontières de l’Hexagone, en oubliait que Rosetta n’était pas une mission française mais le résultat d’une collaboration européenne !
Par-delà le ridicule des cocoricos poussés à tort et à travers, ce patriotisme économique, repris à quelques variantes près de l’extrême droite à la gauche dite radicale, est lourd de danger, car il contribue à tromper une partie de l’électorat populaire, qui espère y trouver une protection contre le chômage [...].

Sole and Despotic Dominion: how a 20th century copyright law is abolishing property for humans (but not corporations) / Boing Boing
▻http://boingboing.net/2016/11/03/sole-and-despotic-dominion-ho.html
In the 18th century, William Blackstone wrote the seminal “Commentaries on the Laws of England,” which contained one of the foundational definitions of property: “that sole and despotic dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in total exclusion of the right of any other individual in the universe.”
If you make a gadget with software inside it, you can simply add a thin skin of DRM to it, and configure the device so that the DRM has to be bypassed in order to do anything that lowers your profits. GM uses it to prevent third-party mechanics from diagnosing problems in their cars (and VW used it to prevent independent researchers from discovering that they were cheating on emissions tests). Philips uses it to make sure that you only buy Philips lightbulbs to go in your Philips sockets. Google’s Nest smart thermostats use it to make sure that only they can extend the device’s features, so they can promise power authorities that when the authority turns down your furnace, you can’t turn it back up again.
This is almost too good to be true. Every company has commercial preferences that they wished were legal obligations. Now, thanks to a stupid law from 1998 and the proliferation of cheap computation, every company can make their wish come true.
This is an affront to Blackstone. If the mere presence of a copyrighted work in a device means that its manufacturer never stops owning it, then it means that you can never start owning it. There’s a word for this: feudalism. In feudalism, property is the exclusive realm of a privileged few, and the rest of us are tenants on that property. In the 21st century, DMCA-enabled version of feudalism, the gentry aren’t hereditary toffs, they’re transhuman, immortal artificial life-forms that use humans as their gut-flora: limited liability corporations.

The L.E.D. Quandary: Why There’s No Such Thing as “Built to Last” - The New Yorker via @fil
►http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-l-e-d-quandary-why-theres-no-such-thing-as-built-to-last
The thousand-hour life span of the modern incandescent dates to 1924, when representatives from the world’s largest lighting companies—including such familiar names as Philips, Osram, and General Electric (which took over Shelby Electric circa 1912)—met in Switzerland to form Phoebus, arguably the first cartel with global reach. The bulbs’ life spans had by then increased to the point that they were causing what one senior member of the group described as a “mire” in sales turnover. And so, one of its priorities was to depress lamp life, to a thousand-hour standard. The effort is today considered one of the earliest examples of planned obsolescence at an industrial scale.
When the new bulbs started coming out, Phoebus members rationalized the shorter design life as an effort to establish a quality standard of brighter and more energy-efficient bulbs. But Markus Krajewski, a media-studies professor at the University of Basel, in Switzerland, who has researched Phoebus’s records, told me that the only significant technical innovation in the new bulbs was the precipitous drop in operating life. “It was the explicit aim of the cartel to reduce the life span of the lamps in order to increase sales,” he said. “Economics, not physics.”
The Follow-Along-at-Home Election Map of 1895
▻http://tinyletter.com/abovechart/letters/the-follow-along-at-home-election-map-of-1895
With British politics much in the news, I thought I’d share some old election maps from the U.K.
In 1895, there was a general election. A new parliament was elected and a new prime minister was chosen. I don’t pretend to understand how important the results were or how relevant the election is today.
What I do know is that starting on July 10 of that year, The Times published several maps meant to help its readers follow along with the weeks-long election. Based on a chart published in 1892 called “Philips’ ’Simplex’ Chart of Parliamentary Representation,” the series consisted of three maps: one showing the political makeup of parliament as it stood before the election, one showing its makeup as the election was drawing to a close, and in between them a map designed to be saved and marked up by readers as results came in, with stickers and crayons:

#Philips_Morris pierde con #Uruguay un juicio emblemático
La mayor tabacalera del mundo había demandado a Uruguay en el Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias Relativas a Inversiones (Ciadi), dependiente del Banco Mundial, reclamando una cifra de U$A 25 millones por presuntos perjuicios producidos a la corporación por la política de salud del país implantada em el primer gobierno de Tabaré Vásquez. Ahora Phillips Morris deberá pagar a Uruguay U$S 7 millones por honorarios y costos de abogados. Con el juicio a un pequeño país la transnacional intentaba amedrentar a otras naciones que pretendiesen tomar medidas soberanas contra el tabaquismo.
