Just going to look around and see what I can find on two former National Intelligence Council people, Mike Collins (a different one) and Maria Langan-Riekhof.
Michael Collins joined a podcast on September 1, 2023, where he spoke with David Kris (Culper Partners) about a lot of things.

That podcast was Lawfare.

Michael Collins has worked as the Chief of Staff to the Deputy Director of the CIA, worked on moderisation reviews, and was Deputy Director of the East Asian Pacific Mission Center, before moving to the National Intelligence Council.

Maria Langan-Riekhof is on the leadership team at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies' Social Sciences Foundation.

Others include Daniel Franklin (The Economist), Daniel Yohannes, Mayu Avila (El Salvador) and Kal Kallauger (The Economist).

Maria Langan-Riekhof has 27 years experience and has been:

* Chief of CIA's Red Cell
* Founder of CIA's Strategic Insight Department
* Research Director for the Middle East

She was the CIA's fellow at the Brookings Institution from 2016 - 2017.

Michael Collins has spoken at the Center For Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on a panel moderated by Bob Schieffer (former Face the Nation host) back in March 2019.

In June 2023, Maria Langan-Riekhof opened a workshop at George Washington University with a keynote address. The workshop was hosted by Allied Command Transformation's Strategic Foresight Branch.

Seems as if Maria Langan-Riekhof worked on the 4-year national intelligence report (it gets released every 4 years) back in 2021.

Maria Langan-Riekhof's mention as a Federal Executive Fellow on the Brookings Institution website.

Maria Langan-Riekhof spoke at the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System back in 2021.

Those are on the yellow signs.

The white signs have "FRSO" written on them. Image

Alright, let's take a look at the No Kings rally partners, since it will be happening on October 18, 2025.

Some kind of weird insistence to wear yellow.

After the No Kings rally on October 18, there will be a Mass Call on October 21, 2025 to "celebrate what they accomplished".

Probably why it will only be an hour, and there will be dead silence for 30 minutes too.

archive.ph/JRrceImage
Partners for No Kings are 50501, 198 Methods, 5 Calls, 504 Democratic Club, 50501 (again), ACLU, Act[dot]TV, Activate America, the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, Amarillo Protest Coordinators, American Association of University Professors, American Friends Service Committee... Image

Durham Appendix is out, I've decided to immediately archive this for future reference.

From 2014 to 2016, individuals affiliated with Russian intelligence services hacked several US public and private entities, including think thanks, government agencies and NGOs, including Open Society Foundations in 2016. Image
The information was handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation through an intermediary, I guess, and 2 of the e-mails appear to have originated from the Open Society Foundations.

The author was apparently Leonard Benardo. Image
