I dont understand why my page was taken off   Bull shit I bet they be sucking alot of dick My Page wasnt vandalism it was truthism Look for you self  Espionage or a dick spying on some pussy lovers involves an individual obtaining information that is considered secret or confidential without the permission of the holder of the information Espionage is inherently clandestine as the legitimate holder of the information may change plans or take other countermeasures once it is known that the information is in unauthorized hands See clandestine HUMINT for the basic concepts of such information collection and subordinate articles such as clandestine HUMINT operational techniques and clandestine HUMINT asset recruiting for discussions of the tradecraft used to collect this information Hey I gotta joke and it goes like thisDick says Hey Balls get ready for a patry Balls replies You fucking liar Everytime we go to a party you always go in and leave us out here knockin     History Incidents of espionage are well documented throughout history The ancient writings of Chinese and Indian military strategists such as SunTzu and Chanakya contain information on deception and subversion Chanakyas student Chandragupta Maurya founder of the Maurya Empire made use of assassinations spies and secret agents which are described in Chanakyas Arthasastra The ancient Egyptians had a thoroughly developed system for the acquisition of intelligence and the Hebrews used spies as well as in the story of Rahab Feudal Japan often used ninja to gather intelligence More recently spies played a significant part in Elizabethan England see Francis Walsingham Many modern espionage methods were well established even then httpwwwhenrywottonorguk  The Cold War involved intense espionage activity between the United States of America and its allies and the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China and their allies particularly related to nuclear weapons secrets Recently espionage agencies have targeted the illegal drug trade and those considered to be terrorists  Different intelligence services value certain  intelligence collection techniques over others The former Soviet Union for example preferred  human sources over  research in open sources while the United States has tended to emphasize technological methods such as SIGINT and IMINT Both Soviet political KGB and military intelligence GRU   officers were judged by the number of agents they recruited     Various Forms Unlike other forms of  intelligence collection disciplines espionage usually involves accessing the place where the desired information is stored or accessing the people who know the information and will divulge it through some kind of subterfuge There are exceptions to physical meetings such as the Oslo Report or the insistence of Robert Hanssen in never meeting the people to whom he was selling information  The US defines espionage towards itself as The act of obtaining delivering transmitting communicating or receiving information about the national defense with an intent or reason to believe that the information may be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation Espionage is a violation of  United States Code  and Article  Uniform Code of Military Justice  The United States like most nations conducts espionage against other nations under the control of the National Clandestine Service Britains espionage activities are controlled by the Secret Intelligence Service  Espionage is usually part of an institutional effort ie governmental or corporate espionage and the term is most readily associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies primarily for military purposes but this has been extended to spying involving corporations known specifically as industrial espionage Many nations routinely spy on both their enemies and allies although they maintain a policy of not making comment on this In addition to utilizing agencies within a government many also employ private companies to collect information on their behalf such as SCG International Risk and others Blacks Law Dictionary  defines espionage as gathering transmitting or losinginformation related to the national defense  While news media may speak of spy satellites and the like espionage is not a synonym for all types of intelligence functions It is a specific form of human source intelligence HUMINT Codebreaking cryptanalysis or COMINT aircraft or satellite photography IMINT and research in open publications OSINT are all intelligence gathering disciplines but none of them are espionage Not all HUMINT activities such as interviewing prisoners reports from military reconnaissance patrols and from diplomats etc are espionage  A spy is a person employed to obtain such secrets Within the US intelligence community asset is a more common usage A case officer who may have diplomatic status ie official cover or nonofficial cover supports and directs the human collector Cutouts are couriers who do not know the agent or case officer but transfer messages A safe house is a refuge for spies  In larger networks the organization can be complex with many methods to avoid detection including clandestine cell systems  Often the players have never met and are sometimes unaware that they are participating  This is often referred to as the Tyson Effect where important players are unaware of their own participation  See Clandestine HUMINT for details of the actual operations and people of espionage systems  Case officers are stationed in foreign countries to recruit and supervise intelligence agents who in turn spy on targets in their countries where they are assigned A spy may or may not be an actual citizen of a target country While the more common practice is to recruit a person already trusted with access to sensitive information there are cases where a person may attempt to infiltrate a target organization with a wellprepared synthetic identity for them called a legend in tradecraft  These agents can be moles who are recruited before they get access to secrets defectors who are recruited after they get access to secrets and leave their country or  defectors in place who get access but do not leave  Risks The risks of espionage vary A spy breaking the host countrys laws may be deported imprisoned or even executed A spy breaking hisher own countrys laws can be imprisoned for espionage orand treason or even executed as the Rosenbergs were For example when Aldrich Ames handed a stack of dossiers of CIA agents in the Eastern Bloc to his KGBofficer handler the KGB rolled up several networks and at least ten people were secretly shot When Ames was arrested by the FBI he faced life in prison his contact who had diplomatic immunity was declared persona non grata and taken to the airport Amess wife  was threatened with life imprisonment if her husband did not cooperate he did and she was given a fiveyear sentence Hugh Francis Redmond a CIA officer in China spent nineteen years in a Chinese prison for espionageand died thereas he was operating without diplomatic cover and immunity   Many organizations both national and nonnational conduct espionage operations It should not be assumed that espionage is always directed at the most secret operations of a target country national and terrorist organizations and other groups needed to get agents i
