# Intelligence Notes ![[banner.png]] **Open-source intelligence analysis & strategic reference** Curated by Luiz H. S. Brandão — Intelligence Analyst > A living knowledge base built exclusively from publicly available sources. Structured, interlinked, and updated regularly. ## **Knowledge base for intelligence analysis** This knowledge base compiles analytical notes produced exclusively from publicly available sources through systematic collection, verification, and evaluation using advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT) methodologies. The repository addresses international security, defense policy, diplomatic developments, hybrid threats, strategic concepts, and geopolitical dynamics. It documents state and non-state actors, military and intelligence practices, current crises, historical cases, key authors, and supporting resources. All notes are developed and maintained in a personal capacity and are updated on an ongoing basis. ## Navigation The knowledge base is structured as a searchable, interlinked repository for strategic intelligence and geopolitical analysis. All entries are cross-referenced for non-linear navigation. > [!note] **01 Actors & Entities** > Profiles of states, organizations, corporations, non-state actors, agencies, and key figures. > [!note] **02 Concepts & Tactics** > Doctrines, strategic frameworks, psychological operations, hybrid methods, and analytical tools. > [!note] **03 Weapons & Systems** > Technologies, cyber capabilities, surveillance systems, and instruments of influence and control. > [!note] **04 Current Crises** > Analysis of active geopolitical flashpoints and ongoing conflicts. > [!note] **05 Historical Events** > Case studies and strategic lessons from past operations and crises. > [!note] **06 Authors & Thinkers** > Key intellectuals, strategists, and foundational works in the field. > [!note] **07 Current Investigations** > Active research threads and developing intelligence leads. > [!note] **08 Guides & Manuals** > OSINT methodologies, analytical frameworks, and operational techniques. > [!note] **09 Repository** > Databases, primary sources, tools, and reference materials. > [!note] **10 Library** > Curated collection of reports, documents, and essential readings. ## Interactive Graph The interactive graph provides a visual representation of relationships between actors, concepts, crises, and sources. It is the primary tool for discovering non-obvious connections across the knowledge base. [[Interactive Graph|Open Interactive Graph (desktop only)]] ## Methodology and Use Notes are produced through rigorous OSINT processes and are internally linked to support relational analysis. The repository is designed for specialists who require structured, evidence-based documentation rather than linear reading. - Use the search function or sidebar for direct access - Follow wikilinks and backlinks to trace relationships - The graph view is recommended for exploratory analysis This knowledge base serves as a personal reference system and is made public for research and educational purposes. → [[About|Read full About page]] ## Recently Updated - [[Palantir Intelligence Dossier]] — 11 Apr 2026 - [[Open-Source Intelligence Manual v2]] — 10 Apr 2026 - [[Iran-Israel Conflict Overview]] — 09 Apr 2026
