On February 25, 2013. A phone call that set the stage for a completely new project. The subject of the call was one we knew well at Capscovil: electric cars. A few days earlier, we had heard of Louis Palmer WAVE Trophy and contacted him. He, too, was keen to do something together to increase visibility of clean mobility\u00a0among the citizens.<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capscovil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/camera-559346_1280-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"camera-559346_1280\" width=\"267\" height=\"364\" \/>It quickly became clear to us that the tool should be a novel about WAVE. We did not have in mind a thriller with physical violence but rather something more subtle. So, in April, we decided on a spy novel. Because what is more exciting than a conspiracy by ruthless spies of a secret economic power that could in fact be true?<\/p>\n<p>The final decision was made on May 23 after the project was integrated in the annual plan and the authors had been chosen. This decision marked the corner stone for a new, a larger project; a completely different concept for a novel series, which also required new\u00a0authors (we\u2019ll come to them later).<\/p>\n<p>And on June 9th, we learned of a remarkably young man who would make our work so much easier: Edward Snowden. Until May 2013, he had worked for American intelligence agency NSA on behalf of the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. At the Kunia Regional SIGINT Operations Center he had access to top secret information and their revelations hit the news world like volcanic eruptions. The published details showed the extent of of internet and telephone communications surveillance carried out by NSA and British intelligence agency GCHQ. Two organizations that belong to a group dubbed Five Eyes, but more on that later.<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p>It is Ed Snowden&#8217;s brave determination and disclosures that we owe the knowledge of insidiously designed eavesdropping operations to; a knowledge that enabled our authors to create tailor-made spies in Project Black Hungarian.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thank you, Edward Snowden!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:13.3333%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 50px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-3 { overflow:visible; }<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #000000;background-position: left top;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-right fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:30;line-height:1.42;\"><span style=\"color: #00a775;\"><a style=\"color: #00a775;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capscovil.com\/en\/strategic-projects\/black-hungarian?lang=en\">Project Black Hungarian<\/a><\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[302,434],"tags":[308,385,376,128,150,236,460,446,502,505,277,147,510,154,169,463],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.2.1 -
