Member Services

Documentation
CNS provides members with frequent CD's, e-mails and hard copy of reports and publications that primarily reside in the realm of "Gray Literature" - information not classified, but generally unknown and very difficult to find. Typically, such material focuses on a variety of areas, such as: terrorism, insurgency, information warfare, academic infiltration, cultural
& legal issues, tactics, weapons, espionage, money laundering, weapons of
mass destruction and disruption.

Examples:

"The Chinese People's Liberation Army at 75" (analysis by the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College)

"Terrorism - A Primer" (internal DOD document)

"Terrorist Capabilities for Cyberattack" (Congressional Research Service)

"Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack" (report by Critical National Infrastructures commission)

"Terminology to Define the Terrorists" (Department of Homeland Security memorandum)

"Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goal for North America" (documentary evidence introduced in U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation trial)

"Iranian Resurrection" ("The National Interest" publication)

"Islamic Financing 101" (Treasury Department seminar)

Seminars and Workshops
Members also have the opportunity to attend seminars and workshops on a variety of topics, conducted by experts. These presentations are interactive with attendees, giving CNS members an opportunity to engage in one-on-one discussions so that concerns, opinions and experiences can be aired and exchanged in real-time.

Examples:

Speaker Training
CNS members who have a desire to address civic and other community groups about national security issues receive instruction on substance and style from experienced presenters who possess in-depth knowledge of those subjects. Small classes meet for a series of informal and interactive sessions, in addition to simultaneously reading a few recommended books. In the final phase of the training, participants engage in speaker/audience role-playing based upon presentations created, delivered and critiqued by their classmates.

Task Forces
CNS organizes task forces to focus on, or support, the academic community, Congress, the media, and other establishments and professionals where intelligence and national security issues are in play. These task forces work in teams drawn from CNS's citizen members who choose to become active in combating specific dangers posed by radical Islam and other extremist ideologies. They are educated and enabled to undertake research projects which promise to offer enormous resources for individuals and organizations on the ground working daily to resist these threats to our country.
