The CIA is a masterclass in spying and recruiting, primarily as a result of practically unlimited funding. They utilize all the novel gadgets you hear about — shit like lasers bouncing off windows to record audio, or reconstructing video from a cameras electromagnetic radiation, or using WiFi to target individuals within a room, or …
But it goes a lot further. They will open entire business fronts in foreign states and maintain them for the sake of fronting. They will send spy’s into other nations to assume a role as a local and casually collect information. They will survey people like janitors, assistants, … for anything of leverage… kid sick with cancer? They’ll pay for treatment at the best hospitals in the world to recruit you, if they believe you can get valuable information.
They’ll go through entire rounds of interviews designed to profile you behaviorally. Their hiring practices have been claimed to actually weed in people with sociopathic tendencies — people with a sort of main character complex who can adequately justify doing bad things because “we’re the good guys” and for “national security.”
The shit they’ve gotten away with is bonkers. Files are constantly being released over the years, we have glimpses into their operations, yet we do nothing to instigate meaningful change. It’s bonkers. You know they were testing hypothetical truth serum on customers in American coffee shops?
