Phony spy at Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security

| April 6, 2017

Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post that details the antics of 72-year-old Mark W. Levin, a member of the staff at Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security — a school that offers graduate programs in intelligence and national security to about 40 students.

The victims allege that Levin led them to believe he was an agent of an unnamed clandestine agency involved in counter-terrorism and intelligence gathering; that the young men were his “recruits”; and that they had to engage in naked, physical inspections with him at his apartment as part of jobs and career training — and keep silent about it.

The men, who are given pseudonyms in the lawsuit, claim Levin subjected them to “quid pro quo sexual harassment,” which included “repeated, forced, invasive, deceptive, and humiliating touching and probing of their naked bodies and genitals.”

I wonder what was their first clue.

Last week, the school’s executive director, Linda Millis, a former official with the NSA, CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, resigned over the school’s treatment of the victims.

“I was surprised to learn that Mark Levin had been hired without sufficient due diligence and that no one really knew much about his background,” Millis told the Post.

Joseph DeTrani, the school’s president, said he, too, is leaving at the end of the month, but that his departure has nothing to do with the sex abuse allegations. DeTrani said Levin was already working at the school when he arrived in January 2016.

“Obviously, [Levin] conned these young men into believing he was something he was not,” DeTrani said in an interview. “That’s so tragic. We empathize with the students.”

The school is about three years old and is presently seeking accreditation. Well, they were before these students filed a lawsuit against the school for these things that Levin did, but there are no criminal charges pending against Levin – only the lawsuit against the school.

That’s….well, that’s just all kinds of fucked up in 360 degrees.

Ex-PH2

Umm… do you think the school will get is accreditation now?

ChipNASA

Probably.
/epic pessimist.

Just An Old Dog

I think Ray Maubus could run it.

desert

He could call it the “Harvey Milk school of higher learning”!

Ex-PH2

Oh. My. God.

Forest Green

I was sure this had to be one of you satirical works.

I just have no words for these…morons. ANY of them.

Mick

So none of the victimized students initially suspected that anything was amiss when it was time for those ‘naked, physical inspections’?

That beggars belief.

Graybeard

Get some 18-19 year olds who only know spy stuff from what they see on movies/tv, and who really don’t know yet how the world works – and I can see it.

Tom Huxton

Is it possible that this was cooked up in a bath house and they are all in it for cash? A nasty conspiracy that no one wants to talk about. By the time everybody signs non-disclosure agreements— the instructor sues for wrongful termination and the witnesses can’t testify.

Is it possible? Yes, and it’s likely.

Graybeard

This mucked up in so many ways.

A spy school that did not know anything about one of their staff?

Some kind of criminal charges need to be filed. And/or Mark Levin needs to find himself some concrete overshoes and some deep water.

Fjardeson

Under. The. Interstate. Permanently.

This is screwed up in so many ways my head almost spun off. (Luckily, I have a speed governor on the thing).

Mayhem

What was Mr Levin’s Specialty? Ora-genitalia stimulation interrogation techniques?

sj

There were no women in the class?

Graybeard

If there were, Levin may not have been ‘interested’ in them.

Or they were smart enough to recognize an old perv when they saw him.

Ex-PH2

Well, in fairness, if he was interrogating the Gs, then why not the Bs and the Ts, too?

2/17 Air Cav

I can’t tell when these guys played naked Twister with this guy but the three who sued are in their mid to late twenties. These weren’t kids by anyone’s definition. They were men, probably queer, who were forced to go nowhere with no one. Maybe in pillow talking they learned that each was promised the same thing by the Fat Fag. Who knows? We do know that no grime is described and that no criminal charges have been lodged.

I have this image of prim, prudish Miss Baumgartner, the court stenographer, turning sheer white during the lurid testimony…rest of the courthouse will be in stitches..

Perry Gaskill

So all the wannabe baby spooks had to get naked with “Codename: Professor Perv” before being issued decoder rings? Interesting. When I went through Goodfellow, all we did was throw tennis balls at each other’s heads when somebody didn’t know the difference between Humint and Elint.

Just An Old Dog

Was Wave Reynar in attendance?

Perhaps someone has been watching too many episodes of ” The Americans” on FX.
Its actually a pretty interesting show about a couple of Russian Agents who thoroughly indoctrinated in the ways of the US and infiltrated as a married couple with perfect documents.
They operate a travel agency in Alexandria Va as a cover and have two teen age children. Setting is the late 70s early 80s.
They work through codes with KGB and Russian embassy to get secrets and carry out various operations.
The way that this ties in with this thread is that it shows flashbacks to their training in Russia.
They were indoctrinated in doing all kinds of sex acts, straight, gay, B&D. All to be used in the field to lure targets in for blackmail or assaisination.

Green Thumb

I am sure sure All-Points Logistics would accredit them.

2/17 Air Cav

He was canned for unethical behavior. That behavior was in playing with students. They now want a pay day. That’s all I see.

Combat Historian

Can’t comment right now as I’m still currently laughing my head off…will get back to y’all later…

1610desig

Yes…hilarious idiots on both sides of the podium…

Their website says re tuition: “Tuition is $1,300 per credit hour or $3,900 per three-credit course.” 4 Big Ones to hear what Prof Perv has to say and to get checked out.

“Students must select from among the following final exam options:

1) A paper of no fewer than 25 pages, the topic of which is to be pre-approved;

2) A written exam consisting of four essay questions; or

3) Mutual sodomy at my apartment.”

Tom Huxton

3) Mutual sodomy at my apartment.”

When they are all “hooked up”, is that a proper SPY RING?

Poetrooper

“Sound off for equipment check!”

Short Arm Inspection!

Dave Hardin

If I only had it to do all over again. Are you telling me I could have let a 72 year old guy probe me instead of wasting countless hours studying to pass the GED?

When I piss off Jonn from time to time, I send him a few dick pics…sure its humiliating, but it seems to make him happy. I am just grateful he doesn’t feel the need to be “quid pro quo” with any pics of his own.

I have been looking for a cross eyed midget stripper that can suck a golf ball through a garden hose. I have secret missions for her.

Submit video evidence to Jonn.

Skyjumper

Dave, not a midget, no golf balls or hoses, but how about a slice of ham in one second? Got any secret missions for this person?

I was a kid once too, but this represents a level of stupid beyond youthful age…a course where the professor plays with your nut sack for hours to represent some aspect of the spy business?

If you are touching my nut sack and you are not my wife, not my doctor checking for a hernia or tumor you are most likely getting a beating…as far as “invasive” inspections go, my urologist checking my prostate and my oncologist checking my colon are the only ones thus far to have entered the exit ramp…what is wrong with people today? Who the fuck falls for this shit? If this next generation is so fucking smart how does this happen? These people are certainly not fit for the “intelligence” community….

1610desig

Levin is kind of hot though…like a deviant Don Rickles

CC Senor

Let us pause a moment to honor Don’s passing. RIP CPO Sharkey.

I don’t know if I should play the lotto or hide in a deep mineshaft…I had no idea he had passed when I posted…thought maybe levin was a toss up between Rickles and Uncle Fester…Rickles won out

“invasive” inspections.

IVP and a cysto?

timactual

Perhaps it was an aptitude test.
These graduate students are obviously not qualified for a job in the intelligence field, or any other job requiring more intelligence than an empty beer can.

I am curious about what they got their undergraduate degrees in.

PS

Those students are lucky there wasn’t an “entrance” requirement

USMCMSgt (Ret)

A relative of mine mentioned this is no surprise to her. She checked that school out a year and a half ago and walked away because (as she put it) – “That place is sketchy as fuck”.

MSG Eric

Maybe their hiring team needs to give jobs to the student staff of the ‘Booster Redux’ at Pittsburg High School to investigate applicants.

The Other Whitey

Any relation to Carl?

Green Thumb

This turd went through a lot of trouble to play with some balls.

He should have called The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics). Phildo would have let him do it for free.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

I get the feeling this guy was looking for some that had a few less miles on them than Mr. Monkress’s have…

Ingot9455

Those boys sure are prepped to ‘resist hostile interrogations’ now!

HMCS(FMF) ret

WOW… just freaking WOW! As fucked up as a football bat….

A Proud Infidel®™

NAAAAAAH, more fucked up than a barge load of broken football bats and MORE ate-up than a chocolate dildo in a crowded gay bar on Valentine’s Day!

Wait a minute you guys are saying that this is not how spy school works? Well, there is a bunch of egg on my face. At least they said it was egg… now I wonder.

mr. sharkman

Poseur Level = True Insanity.

Most NSS programs have former clandestine types as instructors.

Said instructors are part of a very small community.

Once you’ve had one of them as an instructor, there are frequent ‘six degrees of separation’ moments with other current and former clandestine types.

I’m surprised it took as long as it did for him to be outed. “Your instructor for Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx was who? Never heard of him. Weird.”

David

I cannot be the only person in the place remembering that Lars always says he was an intelligence officer…..

Old 1SG, US Army (retired)

Unfortunately the “Great One” Mark R. Levin shares the same name with this dirt-bag…

Maybe we should assign a pseudonym to this dirt-bag so there’s no confusing him with the Great One…

Secret Squirrel sounds about right… or secret hamster…

Sorensen25

Not sure what Linda Millis was doing heading a so-called National Security school. She was a CIA analyst (most likely worked in the directorate where analysis is done, not the Directorate of Operations) and therefore was not in a position to have an impact on clandestine anything. NSA specializes in technical intelligence gathering, they don’t run around running or recruiting agents or engaging in counterintelligence operations. ODNI is purely an analytic agency, they don’t do operations or intelligence gathering of any kind and rely on CIA, NSA, FBI, DIA, etc. collection arms.

I can only assume she thumps her CIA credentials as a means to make a quick buck because the uninitiated don’t differentiate between different officer career paths and simply assume that everybody as CIA is a DO person.

Stephen Fletcher

This Mark w Levin answered to a complaint MIDDLESEX FAMILY AND PROBATE in Cambridge massachusetts in 2011 Under the Name of
MARK E LEVIN.One might ask is this the same Levin????
Answer yes. Levin has been involved in a relationship with Francis Fletcher whom I was told also works for Daniel Morgan.Francis Fletcher was also named in the complaints.

Levin and Fletcher are complete Frauds.Levin belongs in prison for a long
time and I’m sure others were involved. Dont understand why their computers from Daniel Morgan weren’t seized along with home computers.
Sick disturbed Freak

More is coming out about Levin.
I have been working with numerous reporting agency to give all pertinent information on Levin.
Which is all verifiable unlike his background check was.
