Summary
This document is a geopolitical intelligence brief from Kevin Nealer of The Scowcroft Group, dated November 14, 2015. It analyzes the strategic shift of ISIS following attacks in Paris, Beirut, and the Metrojet bombing, predicting increased security measures in Europe and political fallout for the Obama administration. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was part of a larger investigation, likely retrieved from a recipient's files (potentially Jeffrey Epstein, though he is not explicitly named in this specific text).
