16. I'm starting to figure it out who the CIA agents are

I'm fairly certain Paul Bremmer is or was a CIA agent.



CIA Headquarters -- the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Langley, Va.

peaking of funds, the CIA budget is secret and the agency is allowed to keep its staffing, organizational structure, salaries and number of employees secret under an act passed in 1949. Here's what we do know: In 1997, the total budget for all U.S. government intelligence and intelligence-related activities (of which the CIA is a part) was $26.6 billion. That was the first year the figure had been made public. In 1998, the budget was $26.7 billion. The intelligence budgets for all other years remain classified. On the staffing front, the CIA employs about 20,000 people.

<snip>

Most of the agency's overseas officers are under official cover, meaning they pose as employees of another government agency, such as the state department. A much smaller number are under nonofficial cover or NOC (pronounced "knock&quot . This means they usually pose as employees of real international corporations, employees of fake companies or as students. Valerie Plame worked as a NOC, posing as the employee of a shell company in Boston called Brewster-Jennings. NOC is more dangerous than having an official cover, because if NOCs are caught by a foreign intelligence service, they have no diplomatic immunity to protect them from prosecution in that country.

In a newspaper interview, an anonymous source said that he posed as a mid-level executive at multinational corporations while collecting intelligence overseas for more than a decade. He worked several years as a business consultant before joining the agency, giving him a great resume for the NOC program. Senior executives at his cover employer's were aware of his real job, but his coworkers day-to-day were not. He carried out the normal duties that someone in his cover job would do, once even working on a $2 million deal. However, he also often spent three or four nights a week holding clandestine meetings.

The vast majority of the agency’s overseas officers are under what is known as “official cover,” which means they are posing as employees of another government agency. The State Department allows hundreds of its positions in embassies around the world to be occupied by CIA officers representing themselves as diplomats.

A rarer and more dangerous job category is “nonofficial cover” — or “NOC” (pronounced knock) — in which CIA officers pose as employees of international corporations, as scientists or as members of other professions. Such covers tend to provide a plausible reason to work long periods overseas and come in contact with foreign nationals the agency wants to recruit.

I imagine most of Dyncorp, Boeing, Academi board of directors, Booze Allen Hamilton, and US Embassies are CIA agents. Ambassadors certainly. Ambassador e-mail to Ambassador is CIA agent to CIA agent. Most of the time or a lot of the times they don't use alias or switch to their name, meet enough of people in the world for a long time people are going to eventually figure it out. Also I'd add in some Fundamentalist Pentecostal Evangelists such as Kenneth Haywood. The Door Christian Fellowship has Ministries in over 70 countries. Perfect cover but not official cover.

I think it becomes somewhat obvious knowing what to look for.




BERLIN - The US Embassy in Berlin is next to the Brandenburg Gate and directly overlooks both the Bundestag (Federal Parliament) and Angela Merkel’s Chancellery. As reported by Der Spiegel, the surveillance site on the embassy roof (outline in red) has been used to target German government and business communications.


MADRID – The US is the subject of severe criticism by Spanish authorities over reports of the secret mass surveillance of citizens. The Snowden documents reveal that anywhere up to 3.5 million call records have been intercepted in a single day. The US ambassador in Madrid was summoned by the secretary of state to respond to allegations.


HAVANA – Despite having no official embassy in Cuba since 1961, Havana is shown as a covert collection site on the 2010 "SCS Global Presence" list provided by Edward Snowden, and is described as a "staffed location". In lieu of an embassy, the US has what is called a “United States Interests Section in Havana" - which is located inside the Swiss embassy.

GENEVA - The US embassy in Geneva over looks the United Nations headquarters and legations has at least one full floor (windowless) for shielded processing equipment. Edward Snowden was employed by the CIA in Geneva for several years and is understood to have helped operate this covert site.


CARACAS - The US embassy in the Venezuelan capital is shows two sheds visible on the right-hand side as well as a large windowless middle roof construction.


CARACAS - The aerial view of the embassy shows numerous rooftop structures, the embassy faces toward the centre of Caracas and three and a half miles for the National Assemby.


Mexico City - A view of the US embassy in Mexico from the ground showing the rooftop shed.

I'd say USAID, DEA, anything with a front are probably CIA agents. There was a vaccine drive in Pakistan with doctors testing the blood to see if Bin Laden was for sure in the area based on DNA of the children. Anyone with a PHD with some kind of position. Sometimes pose as a freelance journalist.

I probably saw a lot of CIA agents at the Zone 2 DFAC in Camp Arif Jan, Kuwait and didn't know it. A lot of civilian & government contractors ate there when I was detailed there
