Reply #20: TMS may be involved in elections and may be dirty... [View All]

It would be great to connect TMS to Xenia's Triad. If there is a connection, it will be hidden, that's for sure. I agree that there may be one, but as of now there's nothing tangible.

If you could say, for instance, Tod Rapp sat on the board of directors for TMS or that Xenia's Triad was a TMS subcontractor or something like that, it would be fantastic.

It should be noted that a lot of times in covert ops that companies with a hidden agenda often have similar names, I believe. I think this serves to confuse investigators as well as to organize the operation in a semi-coherent fashion.

For example: Let's say you want to find clandestine ways of gathering intelligence in the diamond trade. You might set up a company called AAA Diamond Trade in New York and AAA Diamond Sellers in South Africa and AAADiamond, Ltd. in London. That way, when analysts are searching for "noise" about the diamond trade, it's easy to spot which are their assets.

Of course, this is all supposition on my part, simply trying to deduce how cover companies and shell corporations might work. It might be instructive to learn about basic covert ops methodologies while doing this kind of research. Anyone have a resource for that?
