In the decades that followed, operation names went from random designations to carefully chosen code names that would boost morale and offer clever description. The overall operation was called Project Gunrunner but one specific case focused on Jake Chambers, a straw buyer who was part of a network that would purchase guns in border states and then smuggle them into Mexico and sell them on to the Sinaloa cartel.  When the ATF agents found that Chambers was also a member of a car club the code name Fast and Furious was used to refer to the case against him. We recommend... Albert. GCHQ – Minutes of meeting of Pullthrough Group referring to Karma Police, GCHQ – Review of Internet Radio Exploitation and Analysis referring to Karma Police and Blazing Saddles. 16, 2016 To a civilian’s ear, these real military code names are hard to crack. Calling the suspects the ‘Stepford Bombers’ only heightens suspicions.  There is no real town called Stepford or any other reference to a place called Stepford outside of the novel and film adaptations of The Stepford Wives.  The book and films tell a story of a secret society who convert their wives into robots to make them ‘perfect’ and totally compliant.  The implication that the alleged 7/7 bombers were under the control of a secretive group is presumably a deliberate one on the part of MI5, either rubbing our faces in it or enjoying a sick in-joke at our expense. OPERATION BEASTMASTER. These were two Norwegians who were recruited by the Nazis during WW2 and sent to Britain to spy and carry out sabotage attacks.  Upon landing in the UK they turned themselves over to the authorities and became double agents, sending back chicken feed and disinformation to their handlers.  The Double-Cross System was so effective that the entire Nazi spying apparatus in the UK was either captured or turned, helping to deceive the Axis powers about the Allied fightback in Europe.  The Norwegian duo were code named Mutt and Jeff after the popular comic strip characters of the time.  The reason for this was simple – one was taller and slender and the other was shorter and stocky. Karma Police was built in 2007 and 2008 with the aim of identifying ‘every user visible to passive SIGINT with every website they visit, hence providing either (a) a web browsing profile for every visible user on the Internet, or (b) a user profile for every visible website on the Internet.’  Exactly what Blazing Saddles was for is not clear from the available documents, but it did provide ‘bulk SIGINT data’ which was used so that GCHQ could ‘understand more about the listeners of any one particular radio station’ by understanding more about ‘any trends or behaviors’.  The fact that the American spelling of the word ‘behaviours’ is used in the document does beg the question of whether these GCHQ files are authentic, or simply edited for US consumption when they were shared with the NSA. • Able – NATO Allied Command Europe and U.S. European Command nuclear weapons exercise first word. DOJ Inspector General – Review of Operation Fast and Furious, US Congress – Fast and Furious: Accounts of ATF Agents, US Congress – Fast and Furious: Fuelling Cartel Violence. Between 2006 and 2011 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) ran a series of sting operations where they allowed known arms dealers to sell guns to illegal buyers with the hope of tracking them back to the leaders of Mexican drugs gangs and cartels.  This was supposedly botched when the ATF lost track of the weapons.  Some have tried to spin this as the ATF wilfully and deliberately armed the cartels, but the number of weapons seems too small to be significant in an arena where weapons are readily available and violence is extremely common. Albatross. From the name, this one sounds like … You can use this code name generator to give code names to all kinds of random things. Why Are Code Names Needed?
