[Max Forte: The following article by John Allison, an anthropologist and former employee of the U.S. Army’s Human Terrain System, offers us an inside look at the workings of HTS and its training program, adding to a growing body of insider accounts published as leaks to John Stanton’s many articles, as comments on this blog (often anonymous), and previous posts on this site (i.e., “Another Insider’s View of the U.S. Army’s Human Terrain System“). In this case, please see the article published earlier this year, produced by David Price: “Human Terrain Systems Dissenter Resigns, Tells Inside Story of Training’s Heart of Darkness,” and more recent posts such as “The Human Terrain System: Global Counterinsurgency, Global Espionage, Global Occupation.” Also see John Allison’s training seminar notes at Forum Archaeologiae, “WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON BOYS? The problem for embedded anthropologists in the US Human Terrain System teams.” These are very useful correctives to the official promoted propaganda, a list of numerous recent examples from videos to published articles made available here. We thank John Allison for his courage and honesty. All of the photos in this report are from John Allison, and they too offer us a very unique inside look at HTS.]
