BusinessHABCan you find the good guys in this challenge? It’s a broad question, but one with a specific answer. When it comes to undercover work, the answers are simple.
There are no good guys in this game. You either play by the book and do what your handlers tell you to do, or you risk your life and that of those around you for no reason other than being an honest, God-fearing American citizen.
The game is not always fair, and not all players end up on the winning side of it, but at the very least we can agree on one thing: double agents don’t exist.
Agent Loki is playing by her own rules in this issue.
She agrees to help out a friend after realizing they’re both being used by enemies of America.
Flynn finds himself alongside her as they uncover secrets about each other that hurt them both long ago. But why would Loki help out someone she believes to be working against her country?
As we learn more about these two women — and Loki’s past — things take an unexpected turn.

Who Wins The Challenge – Double Agents or Good Guys?
The last few years have seen a major paradigm shift in the way the world thinks about intelligence. In his 2014 book, The Man Who Can’t Be Read, then-CIA Director John Brennan described this moment as a “watershed” in which the world would finally come to terms with the idea that “intelligence is not just something you read in a book or see on TV; it’s something you do.” Brennan was right. The new attitude has been summed up perfectly by former NSA analyst and counter-terrorism expert Kevin Barrett: “We cannot trust our own government—and even worse, we cannot trust our friends.” Unfortunately for Americans who are looking forward to seeing their politicians take a more cooperative approach to national security, the world has not yet turned itself around. There are still many who believe that engaging with terrorists, spies, and other bad actors will only compromise us—that we must quarantine ourselves from foreign influences in order to make our country safe again. This article explains what winning the challenge means and how you can use it to your advantage if you’re ever in doubt about who to side with.” —Ariel Cohen on Twitter
What is the Challenge?
The concept of the challenge was first used by French author Antoine de Laurencin in his 1755 novel, The Three Musketeers. Laurencin’s idea was that intelligent people should compete against each other to see who can do the best job of keeping their fellow man safe. The concept has evolved over the years, and now it’s used to describe the first step toward understanding another culture. In the words of former CIA analyst Kevin Barrett, the concept “is to get people to think about the world from a different perspective, with different knowledge and perspectives.”
How Does it Work?
This year, the Intelligence Challenge was organized by the British newspaper The Economist, which issued a call for papers on May 12. The deadline passed with more than 750 entries, representing more than 50 countries. The winning country—which was selected on July 18—was announced on August 9. The deadline for the second round of calls for papers passed on September 5 with a record 497 submissions representing 65 countries. The final selection was made by The Economist’s Intelligence Unit based on these calls for papers and other guidance documents. The challenge was designed to be as balanced as possible. There were four regional competitions: Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and North Africa. Teams from each region were paired off and challenged in a head-to-head match. The top three teams in each region advanced to the international stage. In the international stage, the top two teams in each country battle to be crowned the “World’s Best Intelligence Team.”
The Biggest Losers
Although the intelligence challenge is a great way for young people to get a taste of international espionage, it’s not a fit for everyone. There is a very real chance that participants will be deeply scarred by their experiences. Some participants will come home from the challenge disillusioned with or even disgusted by the United States. This is not the kind of competition that creates loyal citizens, and it certainly isn’t the kind of contest that creates trustworthy partners. In short, don’t expect the world’s best intelligence agency to be your private army.
What’s Next for Intelligence?
The next step for intelligence is not a challenge, it’s a revolution.
The intelligence community is being reorganized and modernized to meet new threats and challenges.
The goal is to become more agile, efficient, and transparent.
In this new world order, the intelligence function will increasingly be embedded in other agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security.
This will make the expertise of the one agency that discovered the plot to kill the president even more valuable.
People who have worked in the field will transfer their expertise to the new organization, while the new technology will be transferred to the government’s computer networks.
This will create a more distributed system, which will make the intelligence function more like a business: it will be decentralized and be able to react more quickly to changes in the environment.
The Biggest Winner So Far
The intelligence challenge placed a heavy emphasis on cultural understanding. The biggest winner thus far has been cultural understanding.
The United States is immensely diverse, and the intelligence community’s job is to make sure that information is not only obtainable but accessible to all.
If people in different communities and cultures understand one another, then the dangers that each community faces will be reduced or eliminated.
Some examples: – In October, the Wall Street Journal reported that a Hong Kong-based financial firm has invested $50 million in a U.S. bank.
The investment is intended to build a presence in the U.S., with offices in New York and Chicago. – In May, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google has, for the first time, introduced a Chinese search engine. The company has said it hopes to expand the service to other Asian countries in the next year or so.
In February, the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook is preparing to launch a service in China. The technology already exists to provide a service with as few as 1,000 posts per user. Facebook will be able to provide that service to the Chinese population, but it won’t be able to offer the same level of content and privacy protections that users in the U.S. will have.
