Clandestine HUMINT - Penetrations of Foreign Targets By People Loyal To Their Own Country

Penetrations of Foreign Targets By People Loyal To Their Own Country

Not all clandestine human sources change their loyalties to the country to which they were born, or owed their first allegiance. In this section we are talking of the classical and actually rare "spy", who really is a loyal citizen of country A but obtains information from country B, either through informal means (e.g., fake news reporting) or actually going to work for country B.

A special case is of the Country B loyalist who controls agents or provides other supporting or managerial functions against Country A.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign, people, loyal and/or country:

    “Let us waive that agitated national topic, as to whether such multitudes of foreign poor should be landed on our American shores; let us waive it, with the one only thought, that if they can get here, they have God’s right to come.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “A church is disaffected when it is persecuted, quiet when it is tolerated, and actively loyal when it is favoured and cherished.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “To think to know the country and not know
    The hillside on the day the sun lets go
    Ten million silver lizards out of snow!”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
