[[French Intelligence]] refers to the various intelligence agencies of [[France]]. While not directly involved in the U.S. psychic research programs, French intelligence services were indirectly linked to the early Cold War "psi race" through figures like [[Jacques Bergier]]. Bergier, a consulting editor with alleged connections to French intelligence, is believed to have been the source of the fabricated "[[The Nautilus]]" story, which inadvertently spurred Soviet psi research.[^1]

### PROMIS Software Operation
|
||||
|
||||
According to Gordon Thomas's account in *Gideon's Spies* (1999), drawing on Israeli intelligence sources, LAKAM's director [[Rafael Eitan]] personally arranged to obtain a copy of the [[PROMIS]] software from the [[Department of Justice|U.S. Department of Justice]] through back-channel contacts in the early 1980s. Eitan reportedly met with [[INSLAW]] founder [[Bill Hamilton]] while posing as a representative of the Israeli Ministry of Justice interested in PROMIS as a case management tool. After obtaining the software, Eitan assembled a team of former LAKAM programmers who reconstructed PROMIS and embedded a surveillance trapdoor — described as a $5,000 microchip — that allowed covert remote monitoring of database queries made by any user of the modified software. Eitan's reported statement on receiving PROMIS was: "We can use that program...it could be the most important intelligence tool that Israel has ever had."[^3]

The modified software was then distributed internationally for use by foreign law enforcement and intelligence agencies, channeled through [[Robert Maxwell]] and his Israeli computer company [[Degem]]. Total sales through this network were alleged to exceed $500 million. The [[Nicholas J. Bua|Bua Report]] (1993) found no credible evidence to support any of these allegations, concluding that only public-domain versions of PROMIS had ever been distributed to foreign entities.[^4]
