Sadly, Milwaukee Requires a Pied Piper Intervention

Sadly, Milwaukee Requires a
Pied Piper Intervention
by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

The next focused city by the media and social haters of law enforcement in Milwaukee, the saga continues...

Another law enforcement officer shot dead in the line of duty serving a warrant!

Police Officer Matthew Rittner was shot and killed as he executed a narcotics and firearms related search warrant at a home in the 2900 block of South 12th Street near West Dakota Street. 

As the Tactical Enforcement Unit made entry into the home a suspect opened fire with a high-powered rifle, striking Officer Rittner in the chest. Officer Rittner was transported to Froedtert Hospital where he died from his injuries.
This is not a law enforcement agency issue, it is a societal and policing breakdown of intelligence.  Those that serve warrants and papers in most cases have nothing to do or are connected to the case at hand.

They must have more information on who the warrant is to be served on, the location and known unique identifiers attached to the serving of papers.

Criminality must be dealt with under the provisions of the laws on the books with more data for officer safety. 

Previous incidents in Milwaukee from reports state the start of other problems was an armed criminal being stopped by police and non-compliance.

Even the individual's father stated that he, the father, had not been a good role model and this is what you see is the result of his, the father's failure in that regard, as reported by Fox News.
  
It is a family issue, especially in black disjointed families who have no real father figure for decades and we have done nothing to stem the problems.

Anger and jumping to conclusions by an unintelligence section of society is a driving issue of all the violence against police agencies and their own community.  

It shows we have a section of people who, no matter what will resort to violence, destruction, and mayhem.  If you look at these individuals you will find that they too have legal issues, either prior arrests, outstanding warrants and an anger management issue that is beyond belief.  Basically, demonic low life's who scoff the law and want to do harm to law enforcement officers and their community.

Police officers will tell that summertime and the heat exacerbate incidents and the downing of additional alcohol only increase the possibilities for violence, even within families and so called friends.  It seems even winter is a time of discontent!

This is not the time for local politicians to speak, it is a time for local community leadership and law enforcement agencies together to deaccelerate the problems. 

First, though it is knowing intimately the beats and streets, inch by inch, person by person and every single incident and the connections.  That happens when the daily reports, data, and experience when collectively reviewed bring you the full picture.  

This connected information not available, or you thought it should be.  Borders and the ability to share vital information is just not there.

Here is a typical Twitter user who happens to be in Baltimore and their Twitter profile, tell me that is not a concern to law enforcement?


Social media monitoring through us plays a major role.  We can delve below the surface and know it all, the connections, GPS locations and thoughts of the criminals as they use this social and anti-social medium and share with their contacts

How can we, CommSmart Global Group make such a statement? Simple, it is true and already working in major agencies and has, even more, advantages for all communities.  crossing beats, streets, cities, counties and states.  Collective means to know all that goes on with every incident that is logged.


Analytics is only as good as the base data. Under or miss-reported data is the failure of the collection that makes a mockery of the weightless and missed results.

The actions of sheriff deputies and police officers on the streets are the beginning of the information chain.  They see and hear the initial incidents and subsequent conversations with the individuals.  You cannot get closer to the facts than our law enforcement ‘boots on the ground.’  In notating within LENSS and not just robotically checking boxes, they are building an information flow with unique identifiers for all their fellow officers across borders, counties, and agencies.

You do not have to write a book; it is just short words, sentences, and phrases that become searchable for all.  Law enforcement officers at all levels are trained and have ‘soft skill sets’ that are based on gut feelings.  Those must be noted, as they may and will play an important part in a further or a connected investigation down the road.

It is those unique identifiers such as, vehicle tag, driving license number, type of vehicle, passenger or passengers, location, time, and the reason for a traffic stop that just like a field interview or ‘call for service’ highlight time-based facts and statements that must be noted.  There is the difference and been proven over and over for the last three and a half years in the use of LENSS.


There is categorically no solution on the global, nationally or on a local basis that can share across borders and agencies in the manner of LENSS.   It is the law enforcement game changer and can be assimilated as productive ‘Policing on Steroids.

No, it is not expensive, not even the price of a cup of coffee a week per sworn officer!  This information source does mean a 'hill of beans' with proven results for the agency and the community they serve.

I know you want to know more so contact us either by phone or email for a discussion and demonstration of a life saver!

Brunettes, Patents, Technology and You Use It Everyday.



Dinner with Hitler






How a brilliant starlet created a worldwide technology boom.

In 1933, a beautiful young Austrian woman took off her clothes for a movie director.  She ran through the woods, naked.  She swam in a lake, naked.  Pushing well beyond the social norms of the period, the movie also featured a simulated orgasm.  To make the scene "vivid," the director reportedly stabbed the actress with a sharp pin just off-screen.

The most popular movie in 1933 was King Kong.  But everyone in Hollywood was talking about that scandalous movie with the gorgeous, young Austrian woman.

Louis B. Mayer, of the giant studio MGM, said she was the most beautiful woman in the world.  The film was banned practically everywhere, which of course made it even more popular and valuable.  Mussolini reportedly refused to sell his copy at any price.

The star of the film, called Ecstasy, was Hedwig Kiesler.  She said the secret of her beauty was "to stand there and look stupid."  In reality, Kiesler was anything but stupid.  A genius.  She'd grown up as the only child of a prominent Jewish banker.  She was a math prodigy.  She excelled at science.  As she grew older, she became ruthless, using all the power her body and mind gave her.

Between the sexual roles she played, her tremendous beauty, and the power of her intellect, Kiesler would confound the men in her life, including her six husbands, two of the most ruthless dictators of the 20th century, and one of the greatest movie producers in history.

Her beauty made her rich for a time.  She is said to have made and spent, $30 million in her life.  But her greatest accomplishment resulted from her intellect, and her invention continues to shape the world we live in today.

You see, this young Austrian starlet would take one of the most valuable technologies ever developed right from under Hitler's nose.  After fleeing to America, she not only became a major Hollywood star, her name sits on one of the most important patents ever granted by the U.S. Patent Office.

Today, when you use your cell phone or, over the next few years, as you experience super-fast wireless Internet access ( via something called "long-term evolution" or "LTE" technology ), you'll be using an extension of  the technology a 20- year-old actress first conceived while sitting at dinner with Hitler.

At the time she made Ecstasy, Kiesler was married to one of the wealthiest men in Austria.  Friedrich Mandl was Austria's leading arms maker.  His firm would become a key supplier to the Nazis.

Mandl used his beautiful young wife as a showpiece at essential business dinners with representatives of the Austrian, Italian, and German fascist forces.  One of Mandl's favorite topics at these gatherings, which included meals with Hitler and Mussolini, was the technology surrounding radio-controlled missiles and torpedoes.  Wireless weapons offered far greater ranges than the wire-controlled alternatives that prevailed at the time.  Kiesler sat through these dinners "looking stupid," while absorbing everything she heard.

As a Jew, Kiesler hated the Nazis.  She abhorred her husband's business ambitions.  Mandl responded to his willful wife by imprisoning her in his castle, Schloss Schwarzenau.  In 1937, she managed to escape.  She drugged her maid, snuck out of the castle wearing the maid's clothes, and sold her jewelry to finance a trip to London.  She got out just in time.  In 1938, Germany annexed Austria.  The Nazis seized Mandl's factory.  He was half Jewish.  Mandl fled to Brazil.  Later, he became an advisor to Argentina's iconic populist president, Juan Peron.

In London, Kiesler arranged a meeting with Louis B. Mayer.  She signed a long-term contract with him, becoming one of MGM's biggest stars.  She appeared in more than 20 films.  She was a co-star to Clark Gable, Judy Garland, and even Bob Hope.  Each of her first seven MGM movies was a blockbuster.

But Kiesler cared far more about fighting the Nazis than about making movies.  At the height of her fame, in 1942, she developed a new kind of communications system, optimized for sending coded messages that couldn't be "jammed."  She was building a system that would allow torpedoes and guided bombs to always reach their targets.  She was making a scheme to kill Nazis.

By the 1940s, both the Nazis and the Allied forces were using the kind of single-frequency radio-controlled technology Kiesler's ex-husband had been peddling.  The drawback of this technology was that the enemy could find the appropriate frequency and "jam" or intercept the signal, thereby interfering with the missile's intended path.

Kiesler's key innovation was to "change the channel."  It was a way of encoding a message across a broad area of the wireless spectrum.  If one part of the range were jammed, the word would still get through on one of the other frequencies being used.  The problem was, she could not figure out how to synchronize the frequency changes on both the receiver and the transmitter.  To solve the problem, she turned to perhaps the world's first techno-musician, George Antheil.

Anthiel was an acquaintance of Kiesler who achieved some notoriety for creating intricate musical compositions.  He synchronized his melodies across twelve player pianos, producing stereophonic sounds no one had ever heard before.  Kiesler incorporated Anthiel's technology for synchronizing his player pianos. Then, she was able to sync the frequency changes between a weapon's receiver and its transmitter.

On August 11, 1942, U.S. Patent No. 2,292,387 was granted to Antheil and "Hedy Kiesler Markey," which was Kiesler's married name at the time.

Most of you won't recognize the name Kiesler.  And no one would remember the name, Hedy Markey.  But it's a fair bet that anyone reading this newsletter of a certain age will recognize one of the great beauties of Hollywood's golden age, Hedy Lamarr.  That's the name Louis B. Mayer gave to his prize actress.  That's the name his movie company made famous.

Meanwhile, almost no one knows Hedwig Kiesler, aka Hedy Lamarr, was one of the great pioneers of wireless communications.  Her technology was developed by the U.S. Navy, which has used it ever since.

You're probably using Lamarr's technology, too.  Her patent sits at the foundation of "spread spectrum technology," which you use every day when you log on to a Wi-Fi network or make calls with your Bluetooth-enabled phone.  It lies at the heart of the massive investments being made right now in so-called fourth-generation "LTE" wireless technology.  This next generation of cell phones and cell towers will provide tremendous increases to wireless network speed and quality, by spreading wireless signals across the entire available spectrum.  This kind of encoding is only possible using the kind of frequency switching that Hedwig Kiesler invented.


Thank you, Curtis Holmes, for the confirmed information.

Where Have We Gone Wrong In Controlling Our Society & The Streets?



 We Have the Best and Advanced Crime-Fighting Technology      Available and Collectively Fail On the Simplest Problems
By Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO CommSmart Global Group

Why? 

Because of complacency and managerial misunderstandings.  

No, it is not across the board, it is pockets of missing links and those that have no clue in the use of Digital Policing technology and today’s social pitfalls.  data is under-reported which means it is gone forever.  It does not have to be!

Public Safety is the most difficult job you can ever think of, whether you get in right or wrong, you are damned by the public and the media.  

Listen to any police officer or attorney/prosecutor press conference and you know what I mean.  Questions that the 'press' has been told cannot be answered due to the nature of the case.  Questions regarding the evidence in the case, that they know full well cannot and will not be discussed outside of the courtroom.

CommSmart Global Group has a full quiver of Digital Policing solutions including the full understanding of the LENSS (Law Enforcement Network Sharing Solution) with every aspect of public safety covered.

Expertise is second to none and moreover, down to earth in its understanding. 

Yes, we have technology that is understandable by all, if the only hierarchy would stop trying to re-invent the digital wheel, listen, review solutions that are supporting law enforcement agencies globally successfully.
As the leader in Circle of Fire of StreetSmart Technology, through our down to earth knowledge and experience focus on situations through our analytical minds and services.   



Bath salts as a Zombie drug and the dangerous outcome for the users and the department that stumbles across these incidents and how they are handled.  They are even sold on Amazon.com!

Even the departments who have spent the time to examine the problem are still not addressing it with the caution and safety factors that are required.

Then there is the Opioid Crisis, which is far worse than you can imagine.

The CommSmart Global Group brings the solutions and also offers our Circle of Fireteam to address your public safety departments in one and two-day seminars.  We instill the information and bring back the inner Trust, Respect, and Pride to the departments through knowledge, which is taken back to the streets and communities.  

Our Pied Piper Road Show is ready for you, contact us and see how we can positively assist you and your communities.


We are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
