“Are you sure about this, Ben?” one of them questioned, “after you answer this question, you are going to be a professional spy.”
“Yes,” Ben confirmed, “I am willing to be a spy for this country.”
Ben Woodwork, a 35-year-old man, he had worked for the FBI for 8 years. He was trusted by the head of FBI. He had been given a special task to do, which is to spy on terrorist groups. Most of the spies don’t end up alive when they return back to their home country, but Ben was still strongly hoping that he could take that job. However, they have given him the job after the training process and the testing process that he just finished (to see if he got to the level to be a spy). Apparently, he did get through the test. His first mission given was

They were just fine the week before. I didn’t even get to see their dead body when they died. That day, they were supposed to be coming back from North Carolina with the drugs shipped from Morocco, but Jeff and other people came back without them. I rushed up and asked them where my parents were, Jeff said they died. I didn’t believe him, I thought they were hiding outside to give me a surprise for my birthday. No one. No one was outside.
“Later that week, Jeff told me that both my parents were shot by a police officer guarding the border. I believed him. Till Sean - my dad’s best friend told me that they died of overdosing, not killed by anyone, only killed by the drug. He was on the trip with my dad, he told me exactly what he saw.”
Javier got used to the environment pretty fast since he was trained for it. It might look like he’s doing things for the bad guys, but he is actually gaining their trust. They found out that this gang is going smug a huge number of gallons of different drugs from Spain or Mexico. He was to spy on them to find out the time and the place they are going to pick up the drug.
“Hey, the new guy, come and test the drug that just arrived,” the head of the gang, Jeff, required from
Names and details are shared with the FBI, but the cartel isn’t finished yet. Someone found out about the deal of a lifetime for Javier and decided to cut it short. After giving up the information he was killed in a car bomb incident.
Jay’s cousin, Jun, was murdered by the police under the accusation of him taking drugs. Something Tito Danilo said that changed the entire story was, “but he told me that he ran away from her because he had started using” (Ribay 281). This proves that Jun was using drugs and didn’t die for no reason. This upset Jay and Grace, another one of Jay’s cousins, as they had thought someone
He was a war hero and spymaster. He was so modest that his memoir did not even state any detail on his intelligence accomplishments. He was the intelligence chief, and created America’s first spy ring, and that spy ring helped save the revolution. He monitored his spy ring, while also commanding soldiers and winning military victories. That was what piqued my interest in Ben: he was a spymaster. I have a huge interest in spies, but, once I looked into the biography of Benjamin Tallmadge, I realized that spies in modern, American fiction are much more different than 18th century spying. For one, they say that they gather ‘intelligence,’ a term that I have not thought about to be associated when I first think of a modern-day spy. Spy-crafts developed by Nathaniel Sackett were also very creative, such as the Trojan egg (“Turn: Washington’s Spies”). Benjamin Tallmadge, Abraham Woodhull, Caleb Brewster, Robert Townsend, Austin Roe, Jonas Hawkins, and Agent 355 managed the Culper Spy Ring, and I've learned how they worked in the 18th century, where spies were hanged for treason and such. I've come to the knowledge that the current Central Intelligence Agency may be quite different than the first spy ring. It can be said that George Washington’s Spy Ring set the foundations for “spy techniques” that are being used today in the CIA and FBI (DeFord). I've learned that the books in fiction portraying spies as undercover agents, trained when they were toddlers, being trained to catch criminals such as drug dealers or thieves, were very different. I've never thought of spies having to be discreet on gathering certain intelligence; but then, I've never thought about what it was like to spy for a military. I have a big fascination with spies, but Major Benjamin Tallmadge amplified and increased that fascination even further. I have learned a lot about the first spies of America, who helped save the
Before Ben was kicked out of spy school he had dreams of becoming a great spy.
Carmen Rivera has been in and out of the system for the last years 20 years of her life. Carmen grew up with a dysfunctional family. Her Mother was an Alcoholic and a cocaine user, who work as a bartender from 8 am to 8 pm. “I used to come to the house on my way back from school, watching my Father (Emanuel Rivera) beating my Mother because she didn’t brought money to the house” Carmen explains. Her Father Emmanuel Rivera was worst of a drug addict then her Mother was. “My father was the one who introduce me to the world of drugs and taught me how to shot up drugs in my vein. At a young age my father raped me and started molesting me until his death “1980”. During that time I started prostituting at a very young age in hunts point. I was only Seven (7) years old at that time. You would see car pulling over and parking in a straight line just to get a night with me.”
There are many stories of Americans spying for other countries. Some of these spies have loyalty to other countries, some are coerced into spying, and some are just in for the money. David Sheldon Boone fits the character of someone spying just for the money. Every spy have their own story and purpose of this paper is to provide David Boone’s timeline to present time. Through this timeline, I will discuss detail of David Boone’s background, indicators, materials compromised, handler, and investigation.
When I was assigned this job it was meant to be relatively short, but that changed when I learned that their operation ran deeper than anyone ever expected. But this extension wasnt only hard on me, since the job was ongoing I couldn’t contact my wife and the FBI wouldn’t give her a straight answer as to why I wasn’t back from my “workshop” yet. Suddenly my thoughts
The article “The Spy who came home” written by Ben Taub talks about the story of how an expert in counterterrorism became a police officer. This is a great story because it explains how Patrick Skinner’s education helped him become a better cop and how he is different from other police officers.
The boy suddenly spoke, “Don't worry. They stopped drugging you a few days ago. That’s just to give your body nutrients. Just close your eyes. And don’t make a scene when they come back, or they’ll drug you again.”
Benjamin Ripley, an ordinary 12-year-old boy, is forcibly recruited into a spy school sponsored by the CIA and is used as a hoax to capture the enemy organization, SPYDER. He is immediately targeted by SPYDER, though, and they want to recruit him for his outstanding mathematical skills and threatens to kill him if he turns their offer down. Nevertheless, Ben narrowly escapes them and prevents them from blowing the school up by strategically defusing a bomb. Ben, and everyone else, thinks that he is no longer in danger.
There was a small tv blaring a report of a sports game on full volume directly in front of the couch with a small coffee table that was littered with cigarette butts in between. Jose the entire place stank of booze and smoke, I covered my nose with my jacket. “Treat yourself to something to drink”, he nodded towards the refrigerator. It was filled with bottles and bottles of alcohol. “Geez you should really take better care of yourself”, he rolled his eyes “kid it's my life I do what I want”. I sat down on the couch, I noticed among the mess of cigarette butts and empty bottles there was an old picture of what looks like him and a younger man with greased hair. “Who is this?” I pointed at the younger man,”It’s me.” “Then who is the older one?” I pointed. “That’s my brother Sven.” The tone of his voice changed, he sounded like mom on the worst day when she told me what happened. “He died when we were on an aerial raid in Afghan, the entire squadron got blown apart except me. I barely managed to escape.” He took a long drag, I suddenly got extremely heavy boots, it felt like I was being pulled down to the earth and there's nothing I could do about it. He extinguished the cancer stick, “I guess there are somethings that you can’t control no matter what.” I didn’t know what to
When Doodle died it was the saddest day of my life. I cried for hours because I thought it was my fault. But apparently I wasn’t the only one that thought it was my fault my parents did too. So I have officially been shunned from my family, which really hurt because they were the only people that I had. I mean yeah I have a lot of friends at school but throughout the summer we lost all connections to each other. I saw some of them at church when my family and I went on Sunday but that was very rare, since my parents have started to fighting. The last time I remember my parents getting along was the night when we were eating at the dinner table, when Doodle was still here with us, and that darn scarlet ibis fell from the tree in the back yard.
“I’m sorry to ask this again Ms.Fink, but could you please restate what happened the night of the murders?” I knew what they were doing. It didn’t take a mastermind to figure out that they are trying to pin the murders on me, anyone who had ever watched a crime show in their life would have caught on. “I got home from work, my mom was cooking in the kitchen, my dad was watching football in the living room, and my sister and brother were wrestling down the stairs. I hopped into the shower and began to sing, just as I always do. The yelling and screaming grew louder, but I just figured that mom and dad were fighting again. After I finished showering, to my disbelief my sister was lying dead, surrounded by her own blood, on the floor. A few steps and there was my brother, also dead. By then time had
Broadly speaking, WoodSynergy is experiencing an information need and integration problem. It must use IT to enable SCM in order to get the right information in front of the right people at the right time and through the right lens, which requires a centralization of S&D data. Doing so will facilitate WoodSynergy’s interdependent goal of meeting demand with high quality products delivered on-time.
Woodworking requires a bit of inspiration, and sometimes that is difficult to find. One of the ways we stay inspired is by admiring the work of other craftsmen and letting their ideas and designs help us shape our own. Raney Nelson is one such craftsman. He is skilled, dedicated and produces pieces that woodworkers salivate over. He to, however, needs a little inspiration from time to time.
