Weekly Wikipedia Find: Honeypot

The Honey trap or the Honeypot, when you realize it is a term, in the spy community, for recruitment involving sexual seduction, opens itself up to a lot of crude slangy references to certain genitalia of a certain sex, perhaps, in all likelihood, the fairer of two.

Weekly Wikipedia Find: The Diogenes Club

I have been to many a gentleman's club. I have never been a member of a gentleman's club. I knew not such a thing was possible. But it has been brought to my attention that there may in fact be multiple definitions for a gentleman's club. One has strippers, one has comfy chairs and cigars. I'm not sure the former allows members. One such of the latter, albeit a fictitious one, is The Diogenes Club. It is a place where a gentleman can go to relax, and read without distraction, and possibly a front for the British Secret Service because of an association with the co-founder, Sherlock Holmes' brother. Ostensibly, it is named for the Greek philosopher, but only ostensibly for it bears no obvious reverence for the Diogenes' known cynicism.

Weekly Wikipedia Find: Numbers Station

Unknown origins. Possibly espionage. Mysterious numbers. Threatening numbers. Those numbers, they freak me out.

Numbers station are radio broadcasts, shortwave, containing the reading of numbers. Okay, not just numbers, but they're called numbers stations. And the streaming reading of numbers is unsettling, no? There's a lot of speculation, not a lot of facts, beside what we can observe. Isn't that always the way.

Weekly Wikipedia Find: Culper Ring

I love that spy shit. Real, dirty, gritty espionage, black ops, moral grays, for god or for country. I eat that shit up. Here I got my bowl and my secret decoder spoon. And my wooden teeth. Nom nom nom.

We're taking it back. We're taking it back. We're taking it back. To the 18th century. Spy rings and spymasters. The American Revolutionary War. 1778. General Washington has ordered this spy ring, this Culper Ring, to infiltrate New York City. The redcoats, the limey bastards, have taken the City, that was almost two years ago.
