The fingerprints of the CIA are all over the world in regard to terrorism. The CIA was involved in several coups, regime changes and false flag operations throughout the world. See also for example Iran-Contra scandal, Operation Phoenix, Augusto Pinochet, Operation Condor, Operation CHAOS, Operation Cyclone, COINTELPRO, Operation Gladio, etcetera. Although obviously the CIA itself and the involved governments try to downplay any of it, there's a plethora of information linking CIA and high US officials with drug trafficking. See War on Drugs and Iran-Contra scandal. The invasion of Afghanistan led to a boom in heroine production and its worldwide trafficking under the auspices of the United States power elite. Intelligence agencies are involved in covert operations. Covert operations are of course drenched in secrecy because the responsible power elite simply don't want the world to know what's going on behind the scenes. Some covert operations are declassified with time or revealed by whistleblowers, but we don't know how many remain unknown to the public which can therefore not hold the responsible people accountable for any wrongdoing.

The Anglo-American intelligence aliance is by far the most powerful and widespread in the world. See for example UKUSA Agreement and Five Eyes. NSA and GCHQ lead this alliance. They are aided by practically all the intelligence agencies of the western world. All this intelligence is being used to strengthen the Anglo-American Empire. An important feature of intelligence agencies is that they are authorized to do top secret stuff. This simply means they are above the law and can be used by the power elite for whatever purpose. Only when they can no longer hide it they admit their crimes. In 2014 Barack Obama admitted that they tortured some folks. So the CIA is involved in torture as is even admitted by its own power elite in the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture. In 2007 Obama said "I will close Guantanamo" which is one of the United States' torture chambers around the world. It was another one of his countless professional lies. What we get to hear about these torture practices is only the tip of the iceberg. The United States has a history of unethical human experimentation. Etcetera.

But are Russia and East Germany the best examples of counter-intelligence states to date?

The United States Department of Homeland Security was created in response to the September 11 attacks with the primary responsibilities of protecting the territory of the United States. Are the power elite protecting the United States or are they drawing ever more power to themselves and away from the American people. Everybody with some braincells between the ears knows that the September 11 attacks were a false flag event because the United States government officials had extensive foreknowledge of a coming attack, but they just didn't act. This is best explained by revealing who benefited from the attack. The power elite only acted by giving themselves ever more power by implementing for example the Patriot Act which must have been designed long before the September 11 attacks took place. The western power elite and their countless sheeple puppets often hypocritically point their fingers to Russia but the Anglo-American Empire is by far the largest and most powerful intelligence and counter-intelligence network the world has ever seen. And that's just another hardcore fact which can not be denied.

Espionage is essentially illegal. It is of course not punishable by law for those who put themselves above the law. Zbigniew Brezinski is the United States top foreign policy advisor who is also co-founder of the Trilateral Commission together with David Rockefeller. It is not surprising that Brezinski's words were carefully listened to by the power elite. His book was published in 1970. Now mass surveillance is a reality. The Protect America Act of 2007 is the self-given warrant for global surveillance of foreign intelligence targets. Espionage also involves industrial espionage and financial espionage. See ECHELON and the global surveillance disclosures.

According to Google itself it is Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Knowledge is power. Google has a global spying infrastructure. It offers a plethora of services and tools for people around the world, for free. What kind of things are for free in a materialistic and capitalist world? Your privacy is history. Google is recording and storing every keystroke you type. It also stores your IP address which can locate the address from where you typed. Google has also become a leading lobbyist in the United States. If you don't pay for the product, you ARE the product. Nowadays the sheeple sell their souls for nothing. Big Brother is watching you.
