From A to B to CIA: How the spy network functions

Data is collected from “spy bases” in US embassies by a special CIA/NSA unit often located on the roof of the US embassy (circled above on top of the US embassy in Madrid). The operational nests in Europe and Central Asia are located in Athens, Baku, Budapest, Frankfurt, Geneva, Kiev, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Paris, Prague, Pristina, Rome, Sarajevo, Tbilisi, Tirana, Vienna and Zagreb.
Collected data is then sent to a relay facility at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire. (Pic credit: PA)
The data is then transmitted to the College Park joint CIA/NSA centre (pictured above) in Maryland for analysis and use by America’s intelligence agencies. Under Britain’s long-standing intelligence-sharing pact with the United States, material can also be transmitted to GCHQ via a high-security link installed during the 1990s. (Getty Images)

[The $52.6 billion] ‘Black budget’ summary [obtained by The Washington Post from former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden] details U.S. spy network’s successes, failures and objectives - The Washington Post

U.S. spy agencies have built an intelligence-gathering colossus since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but remain unable to provide critical information to the president on a range of national security threats , according to the government’s top secret budget.

  In 2011, the budget assessment says intelligence agencies made at least “moderate progress” on 38 of their 50 top counterterrorism gaps, the term used to describe blind spots. Several concern Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, an enemy of Israel that has not attacked U.S. interests directly since the 1990s .
  En matière de contre-espionnage étasunien, Israël fait partie, avec la Chine, la Russie, l’Iran et Cuba, des pays les plus surveillés.
  counterintelligence operations “are strategically focused against [the] priority targets of China, Russia, Iran, Cuba and Israel.”
  La CIA, en tête, reçoit plus de fonds que la NSA, parce que (para) militarisée.
  Spending by the CIA has surged past that of every other spy agency, with $14.7 billion in requested funding for 2013. The figure vastly exceeds outside estimates and is nearly 50 percent above that of the National Security Agency, which conducts eavesdropping operations and has long been considered the behemoth of the community.
  The surge in resources for the agency funded secret prisons, a controversial interrogation program, the deployment of lethal drones and a huge expansion of its counterterrorism center. The agency was transformed from a spy service struggling to emerge from the Cold War into a paramilitary force.

  ’Black budget’ shows top spies are still obsessed with debunked ’radicalization’ theories | Privacy SOS
  ▻http://www.privacysos.org/node/1166
  I’ll have a lot more to say about Barton Gellman and Greg Miller’s story on the ‘intelligence community’ ‘black budget’, but for now I want to point out something very distressing.
  Unfortunately, the top spies still think that formulating some kind of ’path to radicalization’ chart is what will help them stop terrorists from attacking the United States.
  ...
  The Washington Post ’black budget’ report shows us that the ’radicalization’ story will not die at the top levels of the US government. That’s really too bad, because it leads the police and feds in tragic policy directions that have devastating consequences for real people, and for our society. Just ask Linda Sarsour how it’s working out for her and other Muslim New Yorkers.

  Few outside Coahuila state noticed. Headlines were rare. But steadily, inexorably, Mexico’s third-largest state slipped under the control of its deadliest drug cartel, the Zetas.
