In Code Name GSSP-40 we look at the troublesome Jesuit/Roman Catholic influence inside the CIA as well as the Hegelian Dialectic played on them and the rest of us. The Hegelian Dialectic comes down to using two total opposites to create enough fear to get people to do what you want them to do in a pre-determined way. This effect gives the spymaster a controlled solution. Angelique describes it much better as “imagine a sheep dog chasing the flock of sheep towards the pen, the dog is all over the place, this side and that side, and so the sheep are herded into the pen. Now, think of the ...

Story
In Code Name Moonlight, we take a hard look at counter-espionage and not our usual subjects, counter-terrorism and espionage. It is seldom that you find someone liking both fields, the two groups don’t usually mix well. When Angelique Dawson inherited the counter-espionage desk (like a department), she was not overly impressed. She is at heart a spy, not a counter-espionage operator. But what Angelique likes most in life, professionally wise, is to prove that a woman is as good as, if not better than, any man and when playing chess with human lives, which is the game of spymasters, she is...

Story
When I wrote Code Name Mel’s Choice, GMJ 25, I was asked by many readers about the character, Sir Dennis, as we call him, a legendary Rhodesian Air Force pilot that turned out to be a Soviet GRU (Russian Military Intelligence) penetration agent. A man that took the identity of a long-deceased RAF pilot and became a legend. After Angelique captured him, he was handed over to MI6 for questioning. It was either that or summary execution. In this book, we deal with Sir Dennis further - his subsequent “defection” from MI6 to DGSE, the French Spy Agency. However, you cannot just leave the ...

Story
Code Name Oath 19 is mainly about Special Forces diving and more specifically, “technical diving”. This is where you must decompress before coming to the surface again, usually, depending on physical fitness levels, when you are deeper than 130 feet. This is not the same as Special Forces attack diving where rebreathers are used (they don’t give out bubbles and can be used for many hours at a time). The attack divers are never deep enough to need to decompress. This is the traditional method used when sabotaging something underwater, a Special Forces speciality, like a ship or barge (...

Story
It was Winston S Churchill that stood out as the statesman that understood naval power more than anyone else. In all his books, he has the same message. The navy is what keeps enemy soldiers away from the mainland. Nothing has changed, without the US Navy, mainland USA is under severe threat of not only blockade but of invasion by a foreign army, i.e. the Chinese one. The rise of the Chinese Navy and the brutally frank political analyses in this book should be worrying, they are moving in relentlessly, cutting your sea routes as explained in many GMJ Books. In Code Name Ghost we take a hard...

Story
Code Name Green 41 deals with the interdicting of drug smuggling routes by using Special Forces and secret agents only. No police, no costly public trials, no arrests, just summary justice as it should be. Things that go “boom” at night and no one knows why, except those that are smirking in delight, shaking hands on a job well done. The question I wanted to answer is, can hard drugs be used as a weapon of war? If you somehow could flood an enemy army with drugs as was done apparently in Vietnam to the American Army, will you win the war? In more recent times we look at Afghanistan and ...

Story
Code Name Phantom looks at security at military installations and the state of the military ordnance which are kept on these sites. There are shocking statistics highlighted in this book regarding this state of affairs for all militaries and not only in South Africa. In 2010, in South Africa, there was 78,000 tons of immediate use ordnance available, 67% of which need immediate destruction. That is 52,260 tons. In simple terms, the old ordnance may explode at any time. The problem is getting worse since they are unsafe to move. They should have already been used in exercises, shot out or ...

Story
Code Name Butterfly main focus is sniping, something that is frequently in the media these days. There is, however, a bizarre misconception in the US that police snipers are less trained, less deadly and shoot at much shorter distances. That may be true with Sheriff Departments where SWAT is seen as the ultimate but here in South Africa we don’t rate the US Police SWAT highly. The reason being, there is not one US-based SWAT Team that is rated by us as true Special Forces, they are rather seen as low percentage units and are barely able to deal with violent criminals. In South Africa, and...

Since the very first GMJ Novel, Code Name VFO565, was published in late 2014, I have spoken about the “Muslim Truce” which is something that is officially denied by the authorities. I stated that the new South African Government reached out to what many will call “Islamic Radicals” and offered or negotiated a deal that they will be welcomed to recuperate and be protected in this sphere but only if they behave. This is the spirit of Ubuntu. Because it is so important, you can read more about the ‘Muslim Truce” in the Intelligence Briefing available at www.georgemjames.com. From ...

Story
Code Name Casselberry is about evacuating trapped citizens from hostile countries by unconventional means. In Africa, things are different than in the rest of the world and are often more confusing. A nation that seems peaceful and can be peaceful for years may explode into violence overnight. It is hard to predict such events because the signs of unrest are always there. If violence does erupt, one must act very quickly, and the usual Western way is to evacuate trapped citizens by securing an airport or airfield. Once this happens, the citizens are led onboard onto cargo planes or other ...

Code Name OST-M deals with deviousness. We show how a good man can end up working for the enemy and not even know it. The scenario is to run a red flag operation on him. You let the person working for you believe that he is working for someone else, someone he has sympathy with. Older readers will recall Sean Connery in “From Russia with Love.” In this film, the Russian female cypher clerk thinks she is working for the KGB but actually she is recruited by and is working for a criminal organisation. In another case, the FBI, before they became the “Clinton Whitewash Bureau,” ...
